INDIANAPOLIS. A pril 20. Tho Democra State
Convention will meet tomorrow. The dele
gates will number over 1900 and the candi-
dates. with their friends. seem to be legion.
The hotels are hives OF busy politicians to-
night. while sharp contests prevail. largely as
to what shall be done to satisfy the Gray and
Cleveland factions. There Is a general spirit
OF good hunor and q disposition toward har.
nony and il looks as though the Convention.
when it reaches the Presidential question. will
adopt peace and harmony resolution. The
leaders In the party from the various Con-
cressional districts have been in conference
nearly all day with the State Central Commit
tee. canvassing the situation with the view OF
recommending to their respective district
meetings what course is best to pursue

made up OF both Cleveland and Gray Demo-
Gratis. Voorhees, to-day took command OF the
peace and harmony crowd at the request Of
the friends Of Gray. and has been busy all day
advising that peace and harmony prevail. and
asserting that it can only prevail by the State
doing tho right thing by Gray.
AS delegates from tho country came in they
were pilotcd to Voorhccs's room by tho friends
Of Gray: and to each crowd that came in yoo r.
and harmony must prevail.

tho strength they claim. 1t Is. however, more
than probable that one or the other will be
forced to take the Lieutenant- GoyerEorship:
but which one will be selected it is hard to de-
termiEe until the Governors nomination has
been settled.
The district conventions. thirteen in all. are
IN session tonight selecting representatives
for the several committees and also two dele
gates each. making twenty: six in all. to the
Chicago Convention. They will not get through
until midnight probably. but the results will
give the complexion OF the National dele
cation.
Bynum was renominated to Congress to- day.
and made a Cleveland speech. There is no
talk OF Holman or Bynum tonight for the
Governors nomination.
At 10 o'clock eight out OF the thirteen dis
tricts have held their Conventions and ad-
journcd. Three elected Gray delegates to tho
National Convention. three were carried for
Cleyeiand. and the other two elected ore-half
for Gray and one half for Cleveland.
The twenty-stx national delegates to the
Chicago Convention were selected tonight.
The Gray alherents elected twelve out of thu
twenty-six. which. with the three out Of tho
four delegates at large. secures them fifteen
out Of the Thirty who will represent Indiana at
Chicago. The Gray men are jubilant tor night.
as it is much better than they expected.
They will probably have to fight tomorrow to
hold the agreement made by the Central Com-
mittea regarding the four delegates at large.
II they cnn hold the Convention to that agree
ment they will have one half OF the delegation.
but tho Cleveland section is doing some very
hard kicking,
