Friday, Aug. 25, 20 and 27. The Beta Theta Pi is the largest College Fraternity in the world, numbering over 5,000 living members, all of them being either graduates or students of the collegiate institutions of this country. The Progress is reminded that Major Mulky ,as Mayor of our city, would not be eligible for a nomina
tion to the office of Secretary of
State. Whether this is true or not the students of law may decide. But we feel confident that with his knowledge of tbe tactics of conventions he would have 83 good a chance as any one to capture the nomination. Another thing that all concede is that no man has a more general or favorable acquaintance with the prominent men of Indiana than Major M., and we believe that if nominatsd he could carry the full strength of the party as against a man who was instru-
mental'in disfranchising those of our people who desire to elect a Representative or Senator. Sam. Dinsmore has sold forty acres of land off his farm for 800.
