INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 21.-The
president-elect had large number of
callers to-day, among them 100 or more
delegates attending the annual meeting
of the Grand Lodge |. 0. 0. f. The
prominent out-of-town callers during
the day were Gov.-elect Nellette and
Delegate o. S. Clifford. Of Dakota; Gen.
James NJ. Shacklefo' d. of Evansville,
and State Senator S. p. Thompson, of
Rensselaer,, Ind. While not receiving
callers Gen. Harrison was buSily en-
gagged upon his corres spondence. The
gas filters to-day began to pipe 'e gem
erals residence for natural gas. There
has been considerable talk of late of Gov.
Gray going to call an extra session Of
the Indiana legislature. The subject
was doubtless under consideration, but
Gov. Gray announces this evening that
he has determined not to call special
session unless it should be made neces-
sary by some unexpected emergency.
In the way of political gossip the News
this evening says: lit is the confident
belief of the intimate friends of Chair
man Huston, of the Republican state
committee. that he will be Indiana'S
repre- sentative in the cabinet and they
offer many reasons for their hope. The
most important, of course, is the ser
vice he has rendered the president-elect.
1t is claimed for him that he did more
than any other person to secure Harri-
sons nomination. and that no man in
Indiana did so much to
CARRY THE STATE
for the Republicans at the recent elec-
ton. And, besides, it is asserted that
Gen. Harrison has indicated warmer
friendship for him than for any. of the,
other prominent RepublicansSbf the
state, and that he has good reasons for
expecting an exalted position under the
administration. The announcement
that Capt. William II. Meredith, of
Chicago, is likely to be the next public
printer, will be no surprise to those who
know him. He was captain of the color
company in Gen. Harrison's regiment,
and the friendship between them,
which began in the days when
they were. army comrades, has
bors for many years, and when Capt.
position of public printer at the time S.
Z. Rounds was appointed, Gen. Harri-
son, who was then a member of the
senare, strongly supported him. Capt
Meredith, who is now in the city OH a
visit, seeks the position simply as man
who has the practical experience that
qualities him to properly discharge the
duties. He has had charge of large
printing establishments for twenty-five
years or more. He is popular among
the union printers and his strongest
support will come from them, although
he has good political backing. not only
from Illinois, butialsO from Indiana.
