J. FRANK HAMLEY GIVES OS A CALL

AND EXPRESSES AN OPINION AS TO THE OUTCOME OF THE CONVENTION. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR Says the Nominee of tbe Convention Will be the Next Governor of i Indiana. Mr. J. F. Hanley, candidate for governor of Indiana, and one of the most genial of gentlemen, is in the city today calling on friends and looking after his political fences. Mr. Landis will be a candidate before the Republican convention that meets in Indianapolis April 26 and 27, for governor of Indiana. Mr. Hanley paid the Palladium a pleasant call this morning, and, when asked what he had to say to the dear people, he said: 'Oh, I don't know tliat I have anything special to say, only that the nominee of the convention will be the governor of Indiana!" "And what chances have you, Mr Hanley, for that honor?" queried the reporter. "Well," said he, "the people of the state will make the nomination, and the people are with me in this contest. Twelve counties hae already inshueted for me, besides numerous townships in many other counties. These counties are in almost every section of the state, and their action is a fair index to the feeling over the entire state. In addition to the counties that have instructed for me there are many other counties that will give solid support. My district, the tenth, with 132 delegates, are with me. My friends everywhere are earnest, loyal and active, and I am absolutely confident of the result. Indications point to a great convention, representative of the best party in the best state of the Union." HOLffEEK Lent Ends With Next Sunday Services Today and Remainder of the Week.

The New Castle Courier, for some time past, has been poking fun at Richmond's apparent lethargy in the matter of securing factories, railroads, etc. It seems to take a delight in that sort of thing. They had a meeting up there Tuesday night for the purpose of securing additional factories, principally the Chicago Steel Manufacturing company. A subscription paper was started to get enough money to put up a building for the factory. That's all on paper. In the occount of the, meeting the Courier says: - "Come, diet's get together, on this splendid proposition and give,, Richmond and ""06 surrounding towns 'another sample of bur thirft and enterprise." The Palladium would like to say to our dear friend, the Courier, that New Cas tie, " with all her bombast about new factories, would not make a respectable suburb for Richmond. The whole place would fit in the elk's pen at Glen Miller. Richmond is not of hushroom growth. She has stood the test of years, has grown gradually and surely and safely, and there is rrtibble about her credit 1 When New Castle is able to lift her head above water Richmond will talk business with her.
