INDIANAPOLIS IN THE LEAD.
If there is any opposition to indianapolis as
the next encampment city it is hard to trace
Interviews at the various department headquar-
tiers today revealed the fact that most Of the
other aspirants have Withdrawn from the con-
test. The Lincoln people were free to admit
that their prospects were not 30 bright
as they had appeared at first. There
Is positive enthusiasm at the Indiana
headquarters and the boosters are willing TO bet
their last dollar that the prize is theirs. There
Is little work being done to give the encamp-
ment to Chicago. The Illinois vets say that
Indianapolis is conveniently situated for them
and that 1t would not be wise to have the meet
ing in Chicago during the progress of the
worlds fair. 1t would be next to impossible to
accommodate the crowd. San Francisco will
make bid for the encampment, unless a Cali
fornian is elected commander-in-chief. A jaunt
to the Pacific would suit great many of the
boys in blue, but a vast majority would be un-
able to spare the time money requisite for
such trip. The Lincoln folks are going ahead
with their canvass in spite of the immense lead
which indianapolis has secured. II any COM
plication arises to lessen the latter chances the
Nebraska men will be found in the front rank
urging the claims Of their bright little city.

A CLOSE CONTEST.

The Various Candidates for Comm andcr and
for the Next Encampment.
The interest attending the contest for com.
mander-in-chief is shown in the fact that many
OF the active partisans of Messrs Lincoln and
Weissert were busy until o'clock this morn
ing. 1t is understood that tho question will be
settled at the business meeting tomorrow. and
those who are pushing the canvass realize tina,
there is no time to be lost.
The exact figures upon which the leading
candidates base their hopes of success are not
obtainable, but it is certain that each man has
had thorough canvass made and knows pretty
well what to depend on. II confidence is any
criterion Col. Lincoln is making q winning
fight. He was serene and happy when seen al
the Arlington today and declared that things
were coming his way. The information that
he was willing to furnish regarding his strength
was only gepeysl but he was positive that last
nights electioneering had been beneficial and
that he now had little to fear.
More definite information came from some
OF his lieutenants who said they could show
figures, If they deemed it policy 50 to do, that
would prove their claims to be well founded.
They wished to make the contest with as little
friction as possible, and therefore preferred
not to reveal the attitude of all the depar tments
or of the score or two of influential men who
are quietly working for Col. Lincoln.

The struggle appeared to be narrowing down
to Col. Lincoln and Capt Weissert until Col.
Jas. A. Sexton of Chicago entered the field.
His candidacy has multiplied the complica-
tons. Its tendency is to divide the north
western vote and weaken Weisseft
Gen. Hurst remains candidate, but his chief
hope rests in a possible compromise. The two
leading aspirants are very evenly matched. and
in contest so close and sharp there NAV be an
opening for third man. Col. Warfeld holds
the main portion of the Pacific coast vote, but
the other candidates claim that his supporters
are wavering and will not stick. Col Lincoln
is promised the entire vote of Pennsyl-
vania and most of that of New York.
He has earnest supporters. both in New
York and Ohio. He remains confident OF win.
ming, and is pushing an aggressive canvass
Capt. Weissert's friends assert that he is hold
ing his ground. They say that he has a YER,
strong and influential body of men looking GU,
for his interests and that he will not be de-
feated this time
