HAYES AND HARRISON.
The Ex-President -COnfers With
the President.Elect.


INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-Gen. Harri-
sons visitors to-day were not nearly as
numerous as yesterday. Quite num-
Der of Western veterans who attended
the Loyal Legion banquet remained
over to-day. and were among the presl-
dent-elect's callers. Many of the ban
queters fingered around the festive
board singing songs until 8 O'Clock this
morning. a great many OF the visitors.
however, departed on the early trains.
The Chicago, Iowa and Wisconsin dele
cations got away at 2 a. M. and the Gin
cinnati people left at 4 a. m. The
lateness of his retiring hour
seemed to have no effect upon
eX-President Hayes, who was up
as early as usual. and received
many visitors at his rooms. About 10
O'Clock the ex-president, with his son
Rutherford, drove ont to Gen. Harrl-
sons. When Gen. Hayes called with
the members of the Loyal legion yes
: terday, Gen. Harrison expressed de-
sire to see him alone, and an appoint
ment was made for the talk this morn
ing. 1t is supposed that the main pur-
pose of the conference was to obtain
from the ex-president some information
acquired in his experience as chief mag
istrate. 1t is believed by some poll
ticians that Gen. Hayes will be offered
mission abroad by the new president.
After his conference with the president
elect, Gen. Hayes called upon the
widow of the late Senator Morton, at
Woodruff Place. and this afternoon at
1:2O o'clock left for home. Among Gen.
Harrison's other callers of prominence
was Col. William Cassius Goodloe,
of Kentucky, who had charge
of the assignment of speakers
at National Republican headquar-
tiers during the campaign. Lit Is cur
rently reported that Col. GoOdloe as
pires to an important position under
the incoming administration. During
the brief conference the other day with
Gen. Britton, chairman of the lnaugu-
ration committee, it is learned that the
president-elect
MADE BUT ONE REQUEST,
and that was that the survivors of his
old regiment. the Seventieth Indiana,
should constitute his escort at Wash
ington- Heretofore the federal troops
have been the guard of the president
elect on Inauguration day. The suryi-
vorS of the regiment have been quietly
making preparations for the trip, and
they will go to Washington unuer the
command of Nose G. McLain. The
subcommittee appointed by the Repub-
lican state committee to make arrange
ments for the visit of Indiana
people to attend the Inauguration,
held its final meeting tonight at
the New Denison. Chairman Huston
presided. The question of railroad rates
was thoroughly discussed and 1t was
decided to ask the roads for a lower
rate than ever previously made to
Washington and return. In the event
of obtaining such rate the committee
believe that more than 10000 HOOsiers
will go down to Washington to see their
distinguished cOuntryman inaugurated.
The committee will provide each per-
son from Indiana attending the in
augural with handsome badge so that
the people may see how many Indian
ans are there. An Indiana headquar-
ters will be opened at Washington. Re-
garding the statement published this
morning that Mrs. Harrison and Mrs.
Mckee would go to New York about
Jan. Is, to remain two weeks as the
guests of Stephen b. Elkins, in fulfill
ment of promise made prior to the
election, Mrs. Harrison stated to-day
that she knew nothing of any such trip
being contemplated.
