THE RAY AND BYNUM FIGHT.
Inconsistency of Rays Supporters in Their
Attacks on Bynum-Local Political Notes.

Mr.. Bynum is at work in Shelby county, and
yesterday Scott Ray in this city, leaving last
evening for Anderson, to look after his interests
there. Copies of Colonel Maynard's recent
speech. appealing to Democrats to defeat Bynum
on account of his utterances about Hendricks,
were scattered over the city yesterday. A
Democrat into whose hands one of them hap
pened to fall remarked to a Journal reporter:
1t seems strange that the men who are fighting
Mr.. Bynum SO fercely because he said harsh
things about Mr.. Hendricks should be support
ing Scott Ray so enthusiastically. Ray was All
enemy OF Hendricks for years. In 1880 he went
to the Cincinnati convention, at the special
entreaty of Governor Hendricks as a
representative of his old-home district but
hardly had he reached there before he abandoned
Hendricks, and did all that he could to defeat
him. When the ''old-ticket" talk was revived,
and every Democrat in Shelby county was anx-
ious to have the Governor honored with the re-
nomination. Ray sent for copy of Puck con
tanning a cartoon of Governor Hendricks and ad-
vertised In his paper that on and after certain
evening it would be on exhibition in his Office.
and invited people to come up and
see it. When the Shelby county Democrats
organized a movement to boom the old ticket,
Ray carried his hostilityt to Hendricks to such an
extent that he refused to announce a meeting of
Democrats for that purpose. and would not
allow posters for the meeting to be printed in
his Office"

over the city in his interest, and is probably
better posted as to the situation than any other
man, said yesterday that he regarded Bynum's

The Attioa Posroffice Burglary Case.

The trial of Henry Tetteman and Freddy"
Jackson on the charge of burglarzing the Attica
postoffice, occupied the entire day, in the federal
court yesterday, and will probably not be con-
cluded before this evening. The defense are en-
deavoring to prove an alibi and the case is being
strongly contested. Tetteman was on
the stand during the greater part of
yesterday afternoon, and was closely ques-
toned regarding his career, the examination
of the district attorney eliciting from him the
admission that he had served sentence in the
Cleveland work house last winter and that he

noted criminals. During the morning Stanley

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
The Superiority of the Indianapolis Festival
Over That Of Cincinnati and Other Cities.

Cincinnati has for years, and with good reason,
prided herself upon her May Musical Festivals
The entire programme, though, is confined to
chorus and solo work. Louisville and St Louis
come forward this year and claim recognition
as musical centers, and proclaim through their
newspapers and with widespread advertisements
on dead-wall and fence their especial good
fortune in securing the American Opera Com
pany to give the entire programme of their
respective festivals. Indianapolis with her fes-
tival, will have all of the attractions OF these
three cities. There viii be three chorus per-
formances by quite as large, and, according to
Professor Barus, to whose care in training has
been largely due the Cincinnati success, as well
trained chorus as Cincinnati ever had. The
same prime donne and famous male singers
will take part Two performances will consist
of American opera by the same people
who give the entire Louisville, St Louis
and Chicago festivals. In addition to all
these indianapolis will devote one day TO
grand campfire, the programme of which will
consist of patriotic and old songs and exer
cises, in which Generals Sherman. Schofeld.
Gibson. Logan, Burdette and perhaps Sheridan
will participate, assisted by delegations from

varied and extensive entertainment than all her
