only taking q much needed rest preparatory to
letting themselves out with renewed vigor when
the final jollihcation is held tomorrow. From
prescnt indications IL will In this matter OF
riotous hilarfty, surpass all previous demonstra-
tons Some idea of what may happen Is ind-
Gated By the information that wholesale paint
dealer has already sold over 90 buckets OF red
CANT for the occasion. Republicans who have
been unable to restrain their enthusiasm have
contcnted themselves with riding about the city
decorated with flags and bandannas, and blow
ing all kinds Of noise making Instruments Early
this afternoon tally-ho COACH with about thirty
of these hilarious Republicans upon 1t, drove past
the house of the Presidcnt-elect just as he had
started out for his daily walk They greeted
him with what they rather APPLY called Pres-
Dental " razzle-dazzle." 10 was amusing enough
to cause him to laugh heartily, as he recognized
the party with bow, and proceeded on his
afternoon tramp.
Mrs Harrison, who makes all the purchases
for her household, even to looking after much OF
her husbands wearing apparel, is In town almost
only. and since IL has been determined that she
win bear the honors Of first lady of the land she
comes none the less frequently.
There was an increase in the number OF callers
nj tho house OF the Presdent-elect to-day. A
committee Of leading business men OF CINCINNATI
came to invite him TO dinner In that city next
week. but he Informed them that he could not be
present. His friends, who have RETAINED from
calling during the week, are beginning TO drop IN
to offer their congratulations upon his victory
Among them was j. N. Huston, chairman OF the
State Central Committee, who shares largely in tho
glory Of the victory in this State. In recognition
of the fight that he made there will be great
demonstration in honor of Chairman Huston at
Connersville, his home, on next Monday. Mr.
Huston has been ono of the most Jealous sup
porters of General Harrison and directed the fight
for his reelection as United States Senator TWO
years ago
After General Harrson's defeat in that con-
test" Mr. Huston remarked in conversation
to-day, 1 said to Mrs Harrison that believed
that it was decidedly TO his advantage, and
that in less than two years it would be demon
strated that l was right In my view OF the
matter. I told her that If he had been elected
the office would have been an obstacle to his
Advancement because, with Indiana as doubt
full State, IL would deemed advisable by the
party that he should remain in the Senate"
WAS General Harrison apprehensive as to
the result Of the election ?"
General Harrison had the greatest faith, as
no often said, in the intelligence and sense OF
right of tho American people He is thoroughly
imbued with the conscientious belief that the
protective principle is right and must prevail
He may not have felt entirely at ease regarding
Indiana. 1t is folly to deny that the majority OF
the voters in Indiana are Democratic;
and it is useless to try TO conceal the fact that
the State will not be Republican until there are
more school-houses and churches within its bor-
ders. 1t was hard fight that was before US
The Democrats were desperate, and were equipped
with money they had never been before do
you know how we carried the State? 1t was by
appeals to Republicans who wero called here for
conferences to do their utmost. l explained 10
them that General Harrison would rather be de-
feated than elected without the vote of Indiana,
and urged upon them the full Importance Of rescu-
ing the State General Harrison appeared before
them, upon my invitation; and when these men
returned to their homes they went TO work with
greater zeal They passed the word along the line,
and it was State pride that won the victory.
knew the State was close-much closer than
felt that it was advisable to allow anybody 10
know"
Already there is much speculation here about the
probable policy of the President-elects Admnstra-
ton and what is, of more interest locally, about
the men who are expected to be in important
lations to the new chief magistrate.
General Harrison is probatly giving
such matters no thought. II is chur-
acteristic of him that he never worries about
the future, but when the time for action comes
he acts. " In his methods and habits" said
Colonel w. r. Holloway to-day, there will be no
difference in Harrison the President and as
lawyer have heard him say that he never al
lowed his business TO worry him. lie concentrated
his faculties upon case when he took 1t up; but
he gave 1t no previous thought, and when ne left
the courtroom or his office he dropped all con-
sdcraton Of legal matters
1t is generally understood that General Harrison
has never been in the habit Of seeking advice from
any one, and there are few of his friends whom
he makes his conidants. Certainly there is no one
who can speak advisedly as to his intentions
His most intimate and confidential friend is his
law partner William Henry Harrison Miller and
next in close friendly relations doubtless is Judge
William A. Woods Of the Indiana District Court
who accompanied the General when he went to
Middle Bass Island for his vacation last summer
II is believed that if there should be vacancy
in the Supreme Bench during iIarrsons term il
will be filled by the appointment Of Judge Woods,
who possesses great judicial ability.
The interest here at present seems 10 centre
largely on the question as 70 who will be the
private secretary of the President-ecct and it Is
the popular belief that the position will be offered
to one of these three gentlemen: Mr.. Miller, X
S. Alexander formerly fifth @adtor of tns
editor eddi, of The Indianapolis Journal
Mr. Miller and Mr.. Alexander have been performing
the duties of secretary for the General during the
campaign 1t is understood, however, TINT Mr. Alex
andcr does not desire the position.
In connection with the gossip about the policy OF
the new Administration, it may be stated that
there is high authority for saying that it will be
the endeavOr Of the Prosident-cect to strongly ND
hold the Civil Service doctrine. friend Of
General Harrison quotes him saying while nj
Middle Bass Island in discussing the possibilities
Of Republican success One of the anguishes of
the election will be the disappointment Of my
friends" His cabinet is sure 10 be composed Of
the greatest available men in the party and there
is some significance IN the unanimlty cf opinion
here that the premier Of the Administration will
be lohn Sherman. OF the Indiana men who have
preference in recognition, John G. New is believed
10 be the foremost
