SPECIAL 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. May 29.-To-day's New
York Herald publishes seventy kilograms
from many representative delegates at
large TO the Minneapolis convention from
the various States. giving their opinion as
to the sentiment In their delegations on the
subject of presidential preference. Since
the opinions are signed, the honest beliefs
of the delegates are unquestionably given.
An epitome of the result gives President
Harrison 366 votes from delegates who will
obey instructions under any condition, or.
being unInstructed, have publicly pro-
claimed themselves In favor of the Presi-
dent; Blaine, 265; Alger Is; Mckinley. l
(Montana), and doubtful, 23S. Delegates
TO the aggregate of S25 announce against
free coinage to 70 for it, while all are In
favor of q protective tariff.
This effort to review the situation as 1t
may exist when the Minneapolis conven-
tion meets, while perhaps not intended for
that purpose gives the President the least
possible showing. For instance. 1T gives
all of Connecticut's twelve votes for Blame,
when il is known that the President has q
strong folio wing in that State. 1t gives all
of South Dakota's eight to Blaine, when
all have been given the strongest lnstruc-
tiOns to vote for Harrison. Ii gives all OF
Virginia and Washington State to Blaine.
when half, at least, favor the President.
But fourteen delegates from Penn
sylvania are reported to favor
the President. and fifty are given
to Blaine, when twice as many have indi-
Gated desire to support the President
New York Is reported as having sixteen for
Harrison and twenty-five for Blaine, when
at least two of the delegates at large from
that State say fifty are sure to support the
President from the first ballot. Not one is
given the President from Oregon or Cali
fornia, while Senators Mitchell and FELTON,
say the two States are practically solid for
the President on the first ballot. But two
are reported for the President from the
Territories (Oklahoma). when the eight are
almost sure to all support the President
Yet in spite of these and many other facts.
this sh6:ving, which is the most nnfavora-
Bile yet made for the President, places him
within eighty-tive votes of denomination
on the first ballot, even if he should get
none of the 23S doubtful delegates, while
il is known here that he will have at least
half of them.

THE PRESIDENT AT ROCHESTER,.
Attended Church Twice Yesterday. Attempted
10 Take Walk and Went Driving.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, May 29.-The weather
to-day was warm and pleasant. and the
sky was clear. The committee on arrange
ments guaranteed the President absolute
freedom from interruption to-day, ana full
filled the promise so far as the time passed
in the hotel is concerned. But affairs were
80 arranged that he was obliged to be be-
fore the public the major part of the day.
He had an early breakfast with Secretary
Noble. Colonel Ernst and George w. Boyd,
after which he attended divine services at
the Brick" Presbyterian Church. This
edifce is on the same street as the hotel,
and only few blocks away. Several
thousand people were gathered along the
route in order to get glimpse of the
President, but in Difference to the
day. however, made no demonstration. as
the President walked by them. The
church was elaborately decorated for the
occasion with flowers. tropical plants and
the national eolors. and presented o fine
appearance. It was packed to the door
to get IN. remained outside during
the service. The President lunched
privately at the hotel and then went out
for walk with Colonel Ernst. He went
only short distance, however, as the
people gathered around him in such num-
bers that it was deemed best to return tC
the hotel. The people here are not suffi-
ciently accustomed to the sight of their
executive to allow him TO walk on the
streets without some kind of q demostra-
tiOn. The President got along better in
the afternoon. when be went ont for a
drive with ID. w. Powers, an incident of
which was O visit to the latter's art gal
lery.
In the evening specIel memorial services
were held at the Central Presby terrain
Church. where President Harrison and
Governor Flower listened to an impressive
sermon by the pastor, Rev. III. III. Stebbins.
The church was beautifully decorated and
was crowded with Grand Army men IN
uniform. who escorted the distinguished
officials 10 and from the church.
The city is rapidly filling with stren gers.
and the streets to- nj ght are thronged with
visitors. the majority of whom are from
west and central New York. The indica-
tiOns are that there will 10 more peOple in
the city tomorrow than ever before in its
history. Detectives engaged by the local
committee arc III cOnstanb attendance upon
the President Ii is novel experience for
him to be guarded in this way. and he Is
not altogether pleased at the Innovation,
as he does not regard 1T as necessary.

drift in that direction; and, In this IN
stance, they feel that the government
has been administered In ON able and patrl-
otic manner.
I'm all departments of business. among
all our industries. and along all the chan
nels and avenues of trade. there Is q oondl-
tion of confidence and contentment never
before SO distinctly felt in all our history.
The sun of heaven nowhere shines upon
people so prosperous and happy as this. and
the stars look on no brighter flag than ours.
The people feel that the ship or state Is
moving grandly onward to still
higher destiny. and that the helm
is In the grasp of a master hand. They do
will not ask it. All over the Western
prairies there Is undated confidence In
President Harrison's great abilities, tried
integrity and lofty patriotism. They
neither want nor expect more than this.
II do not doubt the sincerity of those
gentlemen who think Harrison is not our
strongest man. The conspicuous parties
who indulge in this apprehension are good
Republicans. and earnestly desire the good
of our party and the success of the cause.
Harrison is stronger to-day than he was In
1883 when he was q comparatively new and
untried man. He has not been weakened
at any point since. and firmly believe he
is as strohg as his party. and no candidate
can be stronger"
At this point the Governor. Frightening z
up. said: by the way. a significant co:nci-
dence occurs to me. The Minnea polls con-
vention is called for Tuesday, the 7th day
or June, just four times seven years from
the date of the memorable convention that
gave Lincoln his second nomination. and
which also met on the same day of the
month and the same day OF the week. 1t
may be regarded as the anniversary of that
great historical event. and hailed as an
auspicious omen for Harrison, and. In Ma
poleonic phrase, "A sun of Austerlltz.'
Minneapolis will. il he survives, be the
next President of the United States"

THE MONEY SECURED.

The Central Ready to Meet it's July
Obligations,
A statement has been going the rounds to
the effect that President Conner was unsuc-
cessful while north in securing the money
to meet the July requirements of the Cen
trail The rumor, until contradicted, cree
ated some uneasiness in business circles.
Mr.. Conner said last night that there is not
a particle Of truth in it. The money to
meet the Central's July obligations has been
secured. The MORNING NEWS announced
upon Mr.. Corners return from New York
this week that the confidence of northern
moneyed men In the Central had been re-
stored. Mr.. Conner gave Drexel. Morgan &
Co. full statement Of the Central's condi-
ton. The story that be was unable because
of lack Of confidence In the company's
security TO obtain the money to meet the
July demands. Mr.. Conner said, is without
any foundation. He had no trouble in
getting all the money he wanted. There
has been deep interest in the success of
Mr.. Corners efforts to borrow the money
wanted by July /. and it will be gratifying
to know that il has been secured.
Another story that Mr.. Conner will back
his private fortune against the Terminals
fight to vote the A., 200 shares OF stock is
equally without foundation.

j. @. HALLE TIE MAN
To Be Appointed General Passengel
Agent of the Central.

To Be Appointed General Passenger
Agent of the Central.
J. G. Halle of Columbus Is to be the next
general passenger agent Of the Central.
The circular announcing his appointment
has been prepared, but has not yet been
issued. The MORNING NEWS learned of
the appointment last night. though 1t is as
yet generally unknown even among rail-
road men.
The appointment will prove a general
surprise among railroad men. Nothing is
known of Mr.. Halle at this end of the line
except that he is generally considered a
good man. lie is comparatively a young
man, about So years old, and has been
railroader all his life. He was several
years soliciting freight agent of the
Richmond and Danville at Columbus and
sfterward filed the position of local agent
Of the Central at Columbus. which he has
held for about five years. Mr.. Halle has
been in Savannah frequently Of late in con-
ference with Maj. Shellman, but nothing
was suspected. IL is supposed that Nal
Shellman became impressed with MIR.
Haile's ability while acting as general man-
ager of the Columbus Southern before his
return to the position of traffic manager of
the Central.
This odds another to the list Of young
men in the Centrals general offices. There
is no doubt among those who know Mr..
Halle that he will fill the office aoceptably.
Mr.. D. II. Bythewood, who has been in
charge Of the general passenger agents
office since the retirement of Mr.. Hardwick,
it is said, will be offered the chief clerkship
Of the general passenger department or
some other good position.
Mr.. W. G. Brewers appointment as local
ticket agent will shortly be announced.

AT FLYING TARGETS

The Independent Gun Club to Have a
Tournament July 4.
Savannah's crack shots will have an
opportunity to display their skill July 4.
On that day the Independent Gun Club will
give an all day tournament at its grounds
on Hutchison's Island. As the club is now
equipped with the latest expert blue rock
traps and a new feature of shooting will be
added. AS some of the events will be under
the semi-expert rule of shooting, the shooter
will know the trap from which the biru will
fly, but not the angle, as the trapper in
loading the trap will shift the angle of
flight. The club extends cordial Invita-
ton to all shooters and hopes that the older
clubs, the Forest Citys and Chathams, will
be represented. A number of visiting shots
are exDected
