INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

An

Enthusiastic State Convention.

Speeches of Gov. Porter, Attorney General Baldwin and Others, :

Tho Republican State Convention of Indiana, held at Indianapolis on the 9ih inst, waa notable for its numbers, its intelligence, its enthusiasm, its harmony and the rapidity and smoothness of its work. All of tho present state ofiicers were nominated by aorlamatiou for rc-ileotiou. A nnmler of rattl ng spocchi: were madi', some of which we herewith reproduce. 1109 MOHABD W.

Brothers, the life of a nation or a partv, like tbe life of an individual, rs a battle, and success iu that battle does not depend so much upon the weakness or bluudors of the enemy t; upon the strength of onr own principles and ttio completeness of our own organization. ' God is always on tho side of the atronjest battalions." Tht-y fight strongest and longetit who fight for ideas. Ideas alono aro lux mortal. I bavo no right to detain you longer.
