INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. 21.-PreSident-
elect Harrison is believed to have COM
.pleted his inaugural address, and the
most interesting gossip was in circula-
stiOn to-day among select few to the
effect that in his inaugural the general
will come out strongly in favor
of the one term idea. The
day was given up to pack
ing and tearing up at the
Harrison household preparatory to NOV
ing to Washington. A gentleman who
is thought to he pretty we'll acquainted
with the president-eleet's views on the
New York muddle, said to-day: "Gen.
Harrison fully realizes now that the
only solution of New York affairs
is for him to boldly take the
bull by the horns, and that is what
| think he is going to do" The party
which will leave here Oh the special
train of the president-elect on Monday
afternoon next will number about
twenty persons. Besides Gen. and Mrs.
Harrison, there will be Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckee. their two children and nurse;
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison; Mrs.
Harrison's sister, Mrs. Scott-Eord;
Private Secretary Halford; Stenogra-
>pher .Tibbitts and wife, and
several specially, invited guests.
1t is understood that w. ID.
II. Miller will also be of the party. The
news from Washington tonight. to the
effect that adviceS received there make
it; safe to say that Congressman
Thomas will not be in the new cabinet"
has had a tendency to
STRENGTHEN. THE SWIFT BOOM
among cabinet gossipers here. The
situation IS such, however, that one SO
disposed could pick up a new cabinet
listlourly. Gen. Harrison spent some.
time down town and visited Mr.. New
at his office =. during. the after
noon. The private car OF Presl-
dent Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, which has been rendered

DENVER, Col, Feb. 21.-The great
West is to be represented at Gen. Har-
rison's Inauguration by genuine cow
boy brigade, "sombreros, shapps" and
blue shirts will distinguish the delega
ton from the boundless prairies and the
foothills of the Rockies, and if such
trappings do not offset in the big Wash
ingtOn parade the tinsel and plumes of
the effete East, there will be grOaning
among the politicians and business men
here who to-day about completed az
rangements intended to put down East
ernS in the shade. The nucleus of the
brigade, providing there is no hitch,
will be 100 leading citizens of Denver
who are about equally interested in
politics, cattle and mining. Thomas
McGill, of the Tabor Grand opera
house, is directing the movement. The
programme is for the hundred Denver
men accoutered in all the parapher-
MALTA of cowboys, to start from here
over the Rock Island route Feb. 26 for
Washington. and be joined en- route by
other cowboys" who may wish to thus
uphold the glory of the West. At
Kansas City the dodge City Cowboy
band'' will be attached to the brigade.
The band is to give concerts on the re-
turn trip, which may be by way of New
Orleans. Most of the members of the
brigade are splendid specimens of
Western manhood, brawny siX-f0oters,
who, attired in true cowboy style,
decked out with revolver, knife, cart
ridge belt aud lasso. may not perhaps
succeed in carrying off first honors, but
will certainly be among the most
picturesque figures at the Inauguration.

sehtation of Western life twenty years

mense crowd attended Judge COnrad's
court this morning to hear the trial of
the criminal libel suit again Gov. Lar
rabee. The governor, attended by
Private Secretary Hossfeld and Clerk
BrIstow, came in about 10 O'Clock and
remained about an hour, then quietly
withdrew. The forenoon was spent i'm

at noon and the jury sworn. The court
at first refused to allow the governors
attorney to ask the jurors whether they
were acquainted with the law concern
ing libel. but rec0nsidered it and re-
versed his opinion. This question arose
from the fact that Iowa law makes the
Jury the Judge OF both the law and the
facts in libel cases. The testimony
began at 2 o'clock this afternoon. A.
Fl. Denman was the first witness
and was still on the stand when court
adjourned at 5 o'clock. The governors.
counsel admitted the printing, publica-
ton and circulation of the alleged libel
Gus matter, and Mr.. Denman's testi-
mony simply related his appearance be-
fore the governor at various times in
behalf of pardon for Chester Turrey,
and the manner in which he was
treated. The governors manner was,
at different times, such as to confirm
witness in the belief that Gov. Larrabee
entertained malace against both the hoy
and his mother for the annoyance they
were causing him about the pardon.
Witness had asked the governor not to
circulate the libelous matter contained
in the pamphlet, and informed him that
lie was disregarding both state and fed

that if he kept up such talk he would

to give it the widest circulation in the
