INDIANA
IS SAFELY
REPUBLICAN.
C. A. McConnoll, of Indianapolis,
Will Back His Reputation oa
18,000 Majority.
THE OLD COPPERHEAD ELEMENT
Is No Longer in Evidence?The Qas
Belt Vote Adds Strength to
the Republican Party.
It has been the general Impression
among Republicans that the State of
Indiana would return to its old love at
the approaching November election and i
cast Its electoral vote for the "Prophet
of Disaster." That belief has arisen .
from various sources, but the most po- i
tent argument bearing out the BUggCg- <
tlon is, that at heart Indiana baa. been
a Democratic state.
In contravention of this false convlc- i
tlon, an Intelligencer reporter had a
talk last evening with Mr. C. A. Mc- '
Connell, general agent of the Mosier
Safe Company, who has been a resident
of Indianapolis for the larger part of '
his life. Mr. McConnell was born "at '
Bridgeport, Ohio, and Is here combining
business with a visit.
When asked about the condition of
politics In Indiana, Mr. McConnell said:
"I will bank my reputation an a political
prognostlcator upon the statement
that the Iloosler State will give MeKlnley
and Roosevelt from 18,000 to 25,000
majority and the state ticket will go
through by a majority equally as good.
It may sound to those who are unacquainted
with the condition of affairs
in Indiana, that I am talking at ran
com, UUt my UUSlitcao ima I.UIICU i..s uu"
every county of the state and I believe
that I am conversant with the drift of
sentiment.
"Let me give you a few reasons why
Indiana has changed from a Democratic
to ?a Republican state, and why it
will remain in the Republican column.
The old 'copperhead' element that controlled
Indiana for so many years has
completely died out, and the descendants
of those sympathizers of secession
are, for the most part, supporters of the
Republican faith. The son of the late
W. E. English, and who by the way, is
one of the leading business men In Indianapolis,
Is making speeches for tho '
Republican candidates, and in addition,
I might name others who nave come
from the well known names of Brig- ,
ham, Mllllgan, Horsey, Bowles and
Dodge.
"The gas belt has "been the means of
Introducing numerous and varied manufactories,
and with the hundreds of
/.nini-nhiono ? vnot nrm? nf '
iloating voters who, at first, "were favorably
Impressed with Democratic ,
doctrines, but who. since 1S9G, have de- ;
veloped Into Republicans. The Gold 1
Democrats are also In line and will cast
their ballots against the apostle of freo ,
silver. Seventy-five per cent of the <
German vote will also be for the Re- |
publican ticket. That means many
thousands of hnllots for our party, for ;
the German vote Is by no means a
small factor. I
"And then there is Debs, who will
draw from the Bryan vote to the tune
of 10,000 to 15.000. He Is conducting a
personal canvass, and is scheduled for
a large number of speeches where he
has friends and followers. He is sawing
wood strictly on his own woodpile
and Is having absolutely nothing to do
with Bryan. No one can impugn his
personal or political honesty or question
the integrity of his motives. The
worst that can be said of him by those
who are put out by his candidacy is
that he Is fanatical and dangerous, and
the same can be said of Bryan.
"Taking all these factors into consld- .
oration, I am led to believe that the ma- Jorlty
for McKlnley and Roosevelt will ?
ue wnat x nave aircuuy inaica?-'U."
Deatli of Miss Leonhart.
Sunday night at 11:30 o'clocK, the end
ot this life came to Miss Lizzie Leonhart,
at the City hospital, after an illness
of a few months. Miss Leonhart
had spent her entire life In this community,
and through her devotion to
friends and family had endeared herself
to all who had the fortune of her acquaintance.
Endowed with a gentle
nature, and a thoughtfulnesS for the
wants of others, her presence brought
sunshine Into the paths of those with
whom she came In contact, and her too
s?hort life was an example of true womanhood
and genuine Christian character.
Many have been the deeds of
kindness performed in a modest Way by
Miss Leon hart, and they will be cherished
by her associates as a priceless
heritage and a sweet memory In the
Jays that are to come.
The funeral of the deceased will be e
conducted at her late home, corner of
Jacob and Twelfth streets, on "WednesJay
morning, October 3, at 10 o'clock.
OPENING Wednesday, Thursday ^
and Friday.

"Why?" is tho Question. 1
If Gregg Shorthand Is such a poor, .
worthless system of rapid writing as
some would hnvc you think, why arc 1
schools adopting It all over the coun- C
try? Why arc court reporters changing \
to It? M It bUd been a worthless system 1
It would not have lived during the last i
fourteen years. If It was worthless, authors
of other systems would pay no attention
to It; but they nil realize that It
possesses merits which their own system
does not. And every attempt on 1
their pnrt to keep persons from learning 1
It. only makes Gregg's Shorthand more \
popular. No other school In the state ,
enn teach It without purchasing their
books from the ELLIOTT SCHOOL, <
