 | The afternoon was by no means
 passed in levity alone. Much of the | conversation was devoted to a recital ! of methods of government in Indiana. ! the successes and somewhat of the de ficiencies of the Indiana system. for 1 the governor admitted that even In ( diana is not yet perfect though it has : learned d great deal by experience and [ observation of methods in surround , ing states. Altogether. from his re marks it could only be concluded that 1 generally speaking he has reason tO | be proud of his state and that partisan ! ship and graft have smaller hold |! on public and state affairs. than in most of the great American common wealths Though the governor k strong in his democratic faith he rec ognizes partisanship for it's pi inciplcs only and not as d spoilsman. He says ! the day has passed in Indiana when people quarrel because they differ Every man has right. says the gov
 
 if he is honest in the statement. but he ought not to insist that he knows" he is right. and when men of differing opinions meet. if their purposes are
 what they should be they can debate and test their strength, without quar- rcling Governor Marshall. though a democrat. has within his official fami- ly many republicans. who will stay there regardless of politics unless they should be removed for cause. and poli
 ties is not considered sufficient cause for removal under the present regime in that state.
 The governor was most compliment ary tu Arizona and her institutions. and particularly to her people as he has observed them on the occasion of his two visits here. He believes the character of AriZona'S citizenship in point of education as well aS morals and ideals k unusually good and readily subscribes to faith in the req sons offered why this is so. namely that not only have young mel of ac- complishment sought the west for homes and prosperity. but by reason of the climate Arizona has become the abiding place of many of the better classes from all the eastern states. Especially complimentary was the gov ernor. of newspaper men in general. and in particular ot his home state He says he has found it the part of wis dom to take them into his confidence and seldom k it misplaced. He has learned that reputable newspapers as rule employ only reputable men; men who do not purposely misstate the facts or twist their information be- youd the scmblance of truth. In his own city. he says he is surrounded al- most entirely with newspaper men of opposing faith. politically. neverthe- less he seldom has occasion to com plain of their treatment of him or of state affairs. It is generally the smaller and more unreasoning partisan papers that make trouble.
 What is here related is but suggest i've of the jolly and sociable. nature of the reception all afternoon, where al- most every caller had opportunity for personal intercourse. or enjoyed the privilege of minglng in the constantly changing audience which engaged the guest of honor in conversation. And, departing. each was favored with q hearty handShake and a hope of flu ture meeting ar further acquaintance.
