These being the four marks of the
Church at that time, is there now in
existence any Church having the self

Christ was the Founder of that visible

The Church Is certainly q visible body

In speaking of the outlook in Indiana, ~.
NJ. Co the wel-informed Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, says ::
"The political managers of the two political
parties are concerned about the campaign in
Indiana, which State is always fighting ground
in the quadrennial contest This year is no
exception. 1t isa singular fact that since
1860 the electoral vote of Indiana has been
cast for the successful candidate for the Pres
idency 1t is equally singular that the vote
Of the State has alternated between the two
parties. Thus in 1888 its electoral vote was
given to General Harrison. In 1892 it was
given TO Mr.. Cleveland and in 1896 to Major
Mckinley. Following this unbroken custom
for the last forty years the Democrats see IN
it additional encouragement for the hope that
the vote of Indiana will be given to Mr.. Bryan
in next November There is considerable
uneasiness among the Republican leaders in
regard TO Indiana, based on the signs of dis
content that are manifest.
In the same letter, Ex-Represeniatve By
mum, of that State, who was Chairman of the
Gold Democratic Campaign Committee in
1896, and who is well acquainted with the poll
tics of the State, speaking ofthe probable result
in Indiana, based on existing conditions and
feeling, said: "While the Republicans have the
best show of carrying the State the vote will
be very close-in fact, so close that the result
may be determined by the smallest circum-
stance. The Democratic party is in better
shape than it was four years ago, while the
Republican organization will have some trou
BILE in getting its forces in line. The old SOL
diers are not in pleasant mood, and there
are enough of them in Indiana to turn the
election either way. There is some rivalry
between local factions in different parts OF the
State, and there is always more or less apathy
in the ranks of party after lease of power.
All these taken together must necessarily have
considerable effect, no matter how hot the
campaign may become
