 Given second place upon the ticket | four years ago. the burden of the cam paign fell upon him. He did not shrink ! nor hesitate. but accepted the trust and carried the party banner in honor and triumph from sea to sea.
 In Indiana fifteen years ago he found the party temple brick. Today he leaves 1t granite. Under him no cleo ton has since been lost. In personali- fy he is commanding and dignified and yet gracious and genial. He values hu- man friendships and holds them ever in grateful memory. Always innately wise and farseeing, his wisdom is now by wide observation and his vision heightened and clarified by deep experience.
 His Power of Character.
 He has the boise of character the gentle calmness of disposition and the born of conscious power. He has clearness of intellect. quick. ness of perception. deliberateness of reason and promptness of decision and a breadth of view. depth of thought and grasp of conditions and affairs which fit him for great service in high station.
 He has convictions concerning the principles of right and wrong and the great public questions that vex our people. and he is not afraid to stand for them in public and in private. Had he lacked either principle or courage be could not have required leadership in Indiana. With but them her people would never have honored or trusted him. He publicly the free coinage of silver when many of the party leaders hesi- lated and were afraid to speak. Under his leadership Indiana Republicans de- dared for the maintenance of the gold gtandard months before the party spoke at St. Louis. To him and to them defeat with honor was prefera- ble to victory at the cost of a debauch- d currency and a ruined national credit These, being morally wrong. could not be politically right So he , md they believed. and so they said. With equal courage he has led his , party in Indiana months since to de- |, ,lare for the prompt and effective re- , Fision of the tariff immediately after he November election. whatever the 'esult of that election shall he. to the md that the business interests of the ,, country may moi he long subjected to ! and that the principle of ,roiection to American industries shall ! ,c preserved = His character iS as pure snd white Is q Harble shaft.
