Harrity Has No Hope of Indiana.
The Democratic comfy chaIrmen were in
the city yesterday, in large numbers. in
consultation with tho head of the State
committee. They had met in pursuance TO
o call to come together and make reports,
but they were all eager to come and hurl
their demands for money at the hapless
State committee. Chairman Taggart was
really not anxious to face the hun
cry horde of party managers, who
knees so well what the boys at home
were demanding in consideration of being
ardent Democrats. He had made two trips
to New York for money, but without sue
cess. He was therefore compelled to put
the county cbairmen of with another
promise. lie did not tell them what q

New York on his last visit. During his IN
terview with Chairman Harrity, he was
given to understand tina the leaders of the
party expect nothing from Indiana.
Indiana Is the Presidents own State"
the national chairman Is reported TO rave
eald, and whenever Harrion has been on
the ticket, he has led it by several hundr
votes. We have been studying the In diana
situation. We here in New York believe
that Indiana will do rs she did in 1855

pride will cut a figure as 1t did four years
ago. and with your secret ballot some DEM
ocrats will quietly vote the Republican
ticket in spite of you. He won't lose any
Republican votes. so thore you are. What

I'VE can carry the State. Iif you will send
us enough money" replied the Marion
county man, thoroughly discouraged.
But we sent you $3.50. 900 In 1855" was
the reply, and still the State went for Har-
ris0n, when that amount of money ought
TO have saved it for Cleveland. We may
be able to send you q few thousand later
on, but not now. We think il Is money
wasted and would rather spend 1t in other
States that promise to be close. Why,
would you believe it, we have imperative
calls for money to save us Alabama.
Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginias.n
Mr.. Taggart. it is known, returned from
New York with a heavy heart. 1t was a
bitter pill for him yesterday to have to con-
fess so much TO the county chairmen.
A call was made for reports from the
chairmen. Each one echoed the immediate
necessity of money. and for lack of 1t but
slow progress in organization. The reports
from the northeastern and southern
parts of the State were particularly dis
couraging. The party in northeastern In
diana Is suffering. SD ran the reports, par
ticularly from the lack of money for pur-
poses of organization. The local candi-
where the nomination is not equivalent TO
an election they are induced to contribute
with difficulty. Tie trouble in the south
ern part of the State comes from the Peo-
pies party. The conference lasted until
the middle of the afternoon. The chair
men took the first trains ont of the city,
much to the relief of the State managers.
