PARTY D HOME
CHAIRMAN HERNLY CoMMENDs THE
TICKET SELECTED.
He Says Ii Is One of the Strongest
Ever ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Mounts Expression.

Most OF the Indiana delegation that at
tended the Philadelphia convention re-
turned home yesterday. There was not one
OF them who was not brimful of nthusi-
asm over the platform and ticket. Chair
man Hernly seemed very much elated over
the good work done at Philadelphia, and
when asked what he thought of the con-
v~ention, said:
II have Just returned from the conven
ton and simply reiterate what / said be-
fore, that Ii was a most ma gnificent, har-
monious and enthusiastic gathering of the
Republicans, and, in point OF numbers ana
never been equaled by our party since It's
organization. / am glad to see the enthusi-
asm among the Republicans OF Indiana
that has already set in for the ticket-Mc-
kinley and Roosevelt. The matchless Nc
Kinley. the advance agent of prosperity,
the man who has filled. by his public acts,
the promises made at st. Louis four years
age the man who has brought 10 the coun-
try an era of good times that has never
been equaled. A great many good things
were said of Mckinley by the national con-
~vention, but he is a President about whom
good things may always be truthfully said.
There was not too much fulsome praise or
this administration and our President. Inc
people love him for his honesty, and as
long as he remains at the head or affairs,
this Republic will continue TO grow and the
people Will continue to be blessed.
DEPEW'S REMARK.
"Chauncey Depew said a happy thing
about the ticket when he said that we had
a Western man with Eastern notions and
an Eastern man with Western character
on the ticket. Everybody knows Teddy
Roosevelt, the candidate for Vice President.
They know that he is scrupulously honest
and courageous, and he is the ideal of the
young, sturdy manhood Of the country and
a friend to honest government. and the
people will rally to the support of this
ticker as they never have rallied TO the
support of any ticket that has heretofore
been nominated. Scarcely in the history
of the Republic have two stronger names
been presented to the voters"
Will there be any Rough Rider clubs
organized throughout the State?"
There will be regiments of Rough Rid
ers in every county and township OF In
diana. l find on my return home applica-
tions for clubs of Rough Riders. Indiana
Rough Rider regiments. and we will just
turn the boys loose and let them organize
all they want TO and assist them all We
can, and we will have a roundup of the
Rough Riders before the campaign is over
that will make these 16-to-1 fellows feel
that they have been trifing with the people.
No danger Of Mr.. Bryan being elected
President on a policy wanting to abandon

There will be a great deal of enthusiasm
in this campaign and the people will see to
1t that the true friends of the Republic are
kept at the helm for four more years"
GOVERNOR MOUNT HOME.
Governor Mount was just as enthusiastic
as Mr.. Hernly, and at the Statehouse yes
terday was saying all sorts of good things
about the ticket. This is one of the great
est tickets ever nominated" said the Gov
ernor, "and it will certainly be victorious
il November. The people everywhere are
enthusiastic over the nomination of h
odore Roosevelt, who is one of the strong
est men in this country to-day. Presi-
dent Mckinley'S conservative statesman
ship will inspire confidence and give the
people the assurance that the prosperity
brought to the country through his admin
istration will be continued four years
longer. The nomination of both Mckinley
and Roosevelt is especially gratifying TO
the people of Indiana and the electoral vote
Of this State will surely be cast for them
