The Republican State Convention.

The republican state convention meets at Indianapolis this week and indications point to a mammoth crowd 1 and the most enthusiastic and liveliest convention held In recent years. There are four hgih grade men run- ; ning for the office of governor, and all have been tried and have proven successful in important offices of trust, and the aspiration to become the governor of the great state of Indiana is a lauable one. James E. Watson has been a membeF or the United Stales congress for twelve years, Chas. W. Miller has been attorney general of Indiana, Wil-

liam L. Taylor has bfeen attorney general of Indiana, and Hugh T. Miller Is the present lieutenant governor. Mr. Watson is figured the probable nominee, but he is hotly pursued by Chas. W. Miller and k both -William s Taylor and Hugh Miner will enter the convention with some loyal support, and each expecting that should Watson and Chas. Miller fall to be nominated on early ballots, they will Come in for support when the break comes. There will probably he quite a number of republicans from Jasper county aside from the delegates attend the convention and the outlook for a good lively time looks very attractive and the convention lover will probably get his money’s worth If he goes. ( ~ The Republican’s hope is that the best man wins.
