help to McaIullen for the Attorney generals
nomination. and Sweeney, candidate for Super
intendent of Public instruction. They did not
rely on this, but attended to the Marion
county delegates, as a matter of business, by
assuring Byfield with relief against Kruger
and Connor. They, the Reiter men. claim TWEEN
ty- five Marion delegates by this deal On the
other hand the Kruger forces say they are sure
of at least twenty votes from the same delega-
ton. 1t is possible the next shuttle will bring
either King or Jordan to the front for Secretary
Of State, with the Munson- Bynum Kruger
combination supporting one or the other.
In this connection comes the BynumB Bailey
row again. The latters friends are for Byfeld,
while those of the former support Conner. The
contest is not wanting In interest for one of the
Bynumites said: ''You can bet that Uncle Dick
Conner will get ifty-fi Marion county votes
We will do up those swallow-tail fellows who are
for Byfed." No doubt the latter's men are with
Reiter in the hope that his delegation will
support Byield in defeating Kruger, for one of
them came into the Vincennes candidates room,
last evening and said to him: You can have
my vote and assistance. Mr.. Reter." But there
was another Marion delegate with him who had
been elected by people favorable to Kruger
This delegate upset all previous calcula-
tons as to how he stood in the crossfght
by also giving in his fealty to Reiter. The man
who champloned this delegate at the primary
said early in the evening II am for Kruger
he will come in with good support from
Marion county. If there any deals / don't
know of them, but if there were, would drop
everything that is not in Krueger's interest l
am ready to do anything that will serve him"
Todays developments will be in this lire, with
the question of lieutenantgovernship over
shadowing everything in the shape OF
trade or combination. After all, there
can be no certainty predicated upon any OF
the happenings until the convention IS at
work, unless the general acceptance that McMul-
len, of Dearborn will be nominated for Attor-
ney-general is fulfilled. The Muuson Kruger
combination does not appear strong enough to
carry Kent through.
The convention may get into wrangle over
the temperance ISSUE 1t has been decided by
the leaders to take it up, but in modified form
regarding license. The question will be hedged
about with the demand for an increase of liquor
taxation. BY this it is expected to avoid high
license as we'll as no license.
