SHIvELY NOMINATED.
Senator John C. LAWYER of Salem, after
the ringing applause that followed the
speech of Mr.. Kittinger, placed in nomina-
ton the name of Benjamin f. Shively. of
South Bend.
LAS an adopted son of Indiana" he said,

From the Democratic side of the House
vociferous applause greeted the conclusion
of the speech of the senator from Jackson
and Washington. Senator Layman, of In
dianapols, then arose to second the NOM
ination of Mr.. Fairbanks. His speech was
very brief and was dispassionate review
OF the senator's services in behalf of his
country and State. with the argument that
the party and the State does well to return
him to the scene of his greatest usefulness.
The nomination of Mr.. Shivey was sec
onded by Senator Fortune, of Jefferson
vile. who, turning dramatically to his
Democratic brethren, asked, Can we
match him? He declared that Mr.. Shivey
represented the ideal or Democratic prin-
ciples and was the true choice of the peo-
pie.
MR.. CRUMBAKER'S EULOGY.
Senator Crumbaker, of Evansville. Sec
onding the nomination Of Mr.. Fairbanks.
said:
Indiana is thrice proud of Senator Fair
banks, because of his canstant champion
ship of American honor; his contention for
the rights of the American toiler, and his
strenuous efforts for a renewed triumph
of American industry and enterprise. Dur
ing his term of office he has been aided by
the traditional spirit of Americanism, keep
ing always in the closest touch with the
common sense and manly sentiment of
our State. His policy was ever and is to-
day the policy of her people. His con-
slant study has been the whole country s
highest good. He has met every crucial
test during his incumbency, rich i'm his
tory as those years have been, with calm
balance, with prudence, with a COM
mendable temperament. with a states
manship capacity and with success not
surpassed in the record of any man upon
whom Indiana has ever before conferred
the proud distinction of United States
senator. BY contending earnestly for the
right, and for that alone, Charles w. Fair
nently high upon the escutcheon of his
CONSTITUENCIES admiration and praise. His
name can. in fact be given no added luster
by any eulogy pronouncable here to-day.
His untarnished and unassailable record
for six years pronounces for him its own
most glorious eulogism- Indiana is pre-
eminently satisfied Senator Fairbanks is
her ideal statesman. He is typically Amer
lean in his utter freedom from all social
aloofness.
Under matchless leadership. and by a
fair presentation of true political princi-
pies, Indiana has been redeemed, and let us
hope that she may stay redeemed. Indiana
is Republican, as this body so truly ex-
emplifies, and let US say to all corners
that in that column she will stay. Indiana
is in the right company and she feels it.
We have made progress. Indiana has at
last parted company with Virginia and
Kentucky Democracy, that incubus which
for decades has hung as a mill stone about
her neck. She has taken upon herself the
true spirit of advancement. She no longer
seeks her political inspiration from the
graveyards and deserted by-ways of the
past, where the bats and owls should now
have undisturbed dominion; but she seeks
this inspiration from the moving present;
from the things that now are, and the
grander things yet to be. She has hitched
her fortunes to the star of Republicanism:
the star of beauty that ii is, and one that
we believe has not reached by far the
zenith of its glory. The pathway of Re-
pnblicanism is not strewn with issues dead
and forgotten, save as we may incident
ally look back upon their bleaching bones;
but rather do the facts show that along
that pathway are written the amendments
to the Constitution and the statutes of our
country; and are also so beautifully por-
trayed the most remarkable era of devel-
opment In our history, as well as the posi-
ton this government now holds among
the supreme powers of the world The
