stepped down on the platform. His

In her room, and refused to see her
lover, who, after nights rest, discon-
solOtely turned his face homeward.

A rumor that a dark horse was to be
sprung on the convention in the hope of
embarrassing Mr.. Bricks friends because
of the Porto Rican agitation caused a
short-liyed, but interesting, sensation. The
leaders discouraged any manifestation of
a desire on the part of emotional delegates
to inaugurate movement that would be
detrimental TO the general interests Of the
party and the country.
A meeting of the district committee was
held at the Hotel Bucklen at IL o'clock,
and at this meeting the political situation
of the State. and more particularly of the
district, was well canvassed and found to
be satisfactory.

An anonymous circular assailing Auditor

is shown to be tissue OF falsehood when
the charge is compared with his statements
at a recent banquet of an Indiana <insur-
ance company. In regard to the different
kinds of insurance. and fraternal insurance
in particular. Auditor Hart said:
The three systems of insurance-old line,
fraternal and assessment-have their place
in the necessities of our citizenship / hold
that each system should have the unbiased
support and protection OF State and people
only after il has fully complied with every
feature OF the law, and that those uues-
tionable in character. methods or solvency
should be exterminated with the vigor of
relentless prosecution. The life insurance
business OF Indiana Is increasing at the
rate OF $40.0o0.00o annually. The legal re-
