hours before the boards. The street scenes
were such as would convince the most doubtful
that in Indiana there live men who have the in

patience with which they faced the drizzlne
rain furnishes any evidence to that end
By 10 o'clock in the morning the people were

Tuesday. All the deputies had seemingly
cleared out and not voice was heard
save those of few Of the bulldozers who were
waiting to see about their wages. Grandpa

the postoEics. At the Capitol building every
thing was lively except around Governor Grays
private apartments. Here. with the curtains half
drawn, sat Bark Parker, second assistant depu-

The slight change in the weather last night,
bringing with it heavier rain than had been
falling durng the day, did not in any wise lessen
