lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNB1
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE gathering in
this city for Convention already exceeds in
numbers and spirit most meetings OF the sort held in
the State The several parts OF the State have not
only their allotted delegations, but tens and twentes
from each district interested in the momentous results
TO be decided by the action OF this Convention
Before noon every hotel in town was helplessy
hacked and the boardng-hOuses called in az supple
ments were Overrun long before dark Almost every
Democrat OF note In the State is on hand, or will be
before 10 o'clock tomorrow, when the Convention begins
its sessions Early in the day the preliminary work
started by the leaders already in the field Since the
Cincinnati Convention 1t has been freely
serted that the Democrats of the State were
earnest in placing Senator Hendricks the
course for Governor. Almost simultaneously
with the action Cincinnati It announced that Mr.
Hendricks had expressed his willingness to lead the
ticket subsidiary the Liberal National ticket This
statement being generally accepted, little question had
been taken as TO the matter, and when IL was au-
tboritiyely announced here last evening that
Mr. Hendricks uneQuivocally refused to sacrifice
his leisure and business for the troubles
and turmos of a term as Governor, the situation
seemed critical All the Democratic plans hope
lessly confused No In the State could hope for
unanimous vote Mr. Hendricks, and at this juncture
IL was felt that the nomination Of any experimental
ddate would be rashness. SO the delegates came to-
eether in hasty consultation, and formal en-
bassy waited upon Mr.. Hendricks to urge
his acceptance of the nomination. The fore
most men in the party were among the
ambassadors, and represented TO Mr. Hendricks
that more than mere party triumph depends ON his
action He was understood TO represent the Reform idea
I'm the Democratic party and would be accepted as a
pledge Of good faith to the Liberals The interview was
OF some length and resulted in change OF Mr. Hen
drickss determination 1t is now positively stated that
he will accept nomination TO be rendered TO him to-
morrow by acclamaOn and will define his position in
an elaborate speech. This result whispered about
during the afternoon threw the delegates into an ecstasy
of satisfaction and encouraged the Reform element to
demand still more marked concession TO the Liberals.
The Bourbon element, which seems to have the SLIM
NEST sort Of representation here, demand straight
state ticket averng that the inevitable Endorsement Of
Greeley ana Brown at Baltimore is much Of conces-
sion as should be demanded. The Reformers arc over
whelmngly in the ascendancy, however and express a
perfect willingness to place the Hon. George W.
Julian on the ticket Congressman at Large,
~ that gentleman will accept the place. They
do not stop at Mr.. Julian, however but
illustrate him as an indication OF the sincerity and
erosity OF the Democracy in its efforts at reform Mr.
Julian is the great antayery patriarch offthis State,
and as such the old time bore the brunt of Democratic
hatred and the ervor OF the party for reform well
attested when willing take this foremost represent
alive OF that old horror candidate on Its chosen
ticket.
Mr. Julian's declnation, however Is somewhat embar-
rassing to the Liberal Republicans and the Reform Dem
oerats as WELL His name, 1t lie admitted on all hands,
would under any insure the success OF tnc
ticket and although there are innumerpple e1ceheht
| Republicans to select from, there 10 none with
| the solid national reputation o. Mr. Julian.
| It s thought that should Mr. JuliSn persist
! that Col. Gray Col. stillwei' Chairman
Of the Liberal Republican state Committee WIN Do CHOSEN
n ,ast N great extent with the Republicans whether
the state ticket Is divided not II representative OF
the Liberal party pressed there is perfect willing
ness 10 conoede place Mr. Julian Is willing to accept
| the place of eector II the Democracy wish to nomi
| nate him. He thinks that In that place he could
be fully AZ effective 20 the ticket az In the more
onerous plaee of Congressman nc Large, C. Kerr and
