This Favorite Summer Resort is now open fur the season, and we can say to Friends and Patrons of Bloomington and Monroe County that we are better prepared for the accommodation and amusement of guest than ever before. We have made many changes and improvements that add muuh to tin? convenience of the Pprings, having built a new club and Pool room, and Ball Alley on the hill, nearer to the Hotel; also a line half mile race track in the Valley, just North of the Hotel, where visitors can sit in the grove and view the races, which will b' a new and pleasing feature. The character and reputation of the Hotel and Springr are so well and favorably known that we refer to anyone that ever visited the place. The reason is, every person is made to feel at home from the moment they land at the Hotel until their departure, thereby making one large American family, full of fun, yit and humor. Those coming for health will find everything arranged for comfort and convenience, and their stay will be both pleasant and profitable. As these waters have no superiors in this country for health giving qualities, we make no boast of our business, but do say that we have in the past and will continue to give better satisfaction for what it will cost you than any other Summer Resort in Indiana.

"I never heard lichenei's ns.me mentioned before, but I have heard that Governor Hovey would be a candidate." "As betweer Gray and oorhees what it your opinion?" "Oh, I tliini: Voorhees would !e re-elected beyond any do'ibt and there are good reasons for thinking Voorhees is at that age when

defeat means his political deatb,and this the Democratic party knows. The party leaders and hit; friends would not allow him to be consigned to political oblivion. The party can not afford to lose him,for he is a valuable man to them. Grayetai.ds well with his party, but should he be defeated it would not injure him in the least, and he would still bs a prominent figure in his party." "Then Voorhees would ke elected not because the party loves Gray the less, but Voorhees more?" "Yes, that represses it." "What chance do you consider Governor Hovey h;is?" i "That depends, of course, on the Legislature. Indiana is really a Democratic State and aboutthetimo of the election the Republicans will be in the s im condition the Democrats were after the election of Cleveland. A great many of them will be disappointed and v. Ill not be enthusiastic in. the fight, and the Democrats, of course, will win, I really do not know what Governor Hovev's chances would l;e should there be a Republican Legislature which is not likely."
