strated that the old Roman was the lido
of the Coast and that the proposition tc
consider second choice for the second
place was out of the question with
them. 1ndianians started out early this
morning and went to the coast head
quarters, where they we're received by
Chairman Tarpey, Governor White
Senator Mitchell and other early risers
After the customary greetings Colonel
Matson, candidate for governor; Charles
E. Jewett, chairman OF the State com,
mittee; Judge Holman, of Indianapolis
and Charles q. Offutt delivered short ad
dresses urging the candidacy of Gov
Gray. They exhausted arguments to
prove the exPedience of his nomination.
Their claims were predicated on the
ground that without al Indiana man
on the ticket the State would be lost to
the Democracy, and the election
jeopardized. There was much more of
the same tenor, and Indiana boomers
retired without having produced any
effect on the minds of their hearers.
The Ohio delegation came In this
morning. The party of 200. or more,
who came with them was enthusiastic
for Thurman, and cried down all OPP
position. G. W. BAKER, delegate at
large from Cincinnati, was not en-
thusiastic for Thurman. He said. Ohio
is in no position to urge any nomina-
ton, with the feeling that now exists
among the delegation and throughout
the country. There is some bitter fight
ing going on ia and out OF the Stale.
However, if Judge Thurman is accept
able to the balance of the country the
Ohio delegation will probably give him
support.
John ]. Brady, one of the delegates
from Cincinnati, represents the element
rabidly opposed to Thurman, and sig
remarked to a gentleman who
announced that the old Roman would
be nominated by reclamation: The
has not been made yet. It
takes two-third vote to nominate in
this convention"
kilograms were received from Vir-
GINA and West Virginia tonight sayin e
the votes of those States would be cast
solidly for Thurman.
The Texas delegation arrived here
this evening. Governor Throckmorton,
who heads the delegation, found a let
ter from Congressman Mills awaiting
him, in which Mills requests that his
name be not presented for Vice-Presi-
dent. The Texas delegation had been
to vote for Mills, but in view
of this letter will not present his name,
and from interviews to night with a
dozen members of the delegation it is
probable that Texas will cast solid
vote for Thurman.
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, ar
rived this afternoon. To reporter he
said, Eyes, l regard the nomination of
Governor Gray to the Vice-Presidency
of the most vital importance to national
success. Since the admission of Indi-
ana into the Union in 1916. no Demo-
crat has ever been elected President
without the electoral vote OF Indiana,
and the result this year will not prove
an exception in her history. Cleveland
will be reelected with The vote of Indi-
ana, or not at all. -Four years ago
cast 1863, 900 votes, and will this
year probably exceed 525, 600. when it Is
considered that neither one of the great
parties has majority In this enormous
vote, but must succeed or be defeated
by a small plurality of 600 or 1900. it
must be obvious at q glance how i'm
portant it is for the Democratic ticket
to have every atom of strength possible.
AS to Judge Thurman, no word of mine
shall ever disparage his great ability, or
the love which is borne him by the
Democratic party, but with the Senate
equally divided, and an absolute tie
between the two parties from and after
the 4th of next March. and with the
control of that body depending upon
The casting vote of the vice-president.
It seems not unwise or unk!hd to sug-
sest the uncertainties of life to one who
mas borne the heat and burden of battle
until the days of labor seem drawing to
i close"
