Indiana Socialists and Republicans Rally in Indiana State Ticket Battle
The remnants of the Greenback National party join with many Republican farmers to form the Peoples' Party with Leroy Templeton of Benton county as secretary of state nominee. Templeton supports the Democratic ticket, forcing a reshuffle of the independent slate. Democrats expect to win a large share of Senate and House seats. The Republican campaign may rely on home talent as Blaine, McKinley, and Reed decline to visit. Local tariff cuts at Woodburn-Survey Wheel Works. Indiana School Book Company wins suit against Frankfort school board. Public sentiment favors Republicans in Pike and Gibson, with Parrett ahead in several counties. Wright’s prospects look poor in Posey and elsewhere. A list of Indiana patents is released by the New Harmony Register.
