H. HELLER, Manager. “Tho reclection of Albert J. Beveridge is the paramount if not the sole issue in Indiana," quoth republican politicians all over the state. Is not this a confession that the republican cause .is at low ebb and that thus pressing Beveridge to the front amounts to a loud cry of despair: •’Help, Cassius, or I sink!” —South Bend Times. Talk about your troubles. Here conies the telegraphic wires sizzling with the things the regulars are going to do to Indiana, and on top of that comes more sizzling frim the camp of the insurgents, all of which indicates troublesome times ahead for the republican party. The issue between the two wings of the g. o. p. bids fair to eclipse in bitterness and malice aforethought, anything ever witnessed in Indiana politics, and that the democrats will enjoy it there is no doubt. .*.
