rooms much more habitable, as there is
that generally makes the headquarters or
a candidate so obnoxious.
The delegations from the outside counties
are now beginning 10 arrive, and by to-
night will! probably all be In. Five hundred
members of the Morton Club, of Lebanon,
will come in this morning and each member
will wear a silk badge and a silk hat, and
work for the nomination of A. G. Daily, or
Labanon, for Auditor.
Among the delegations which arrived yes
terday was a large one from Terre Haute,
which came shouting for Yigo county'S
candidate for Auditor OF State. This dele
cation was about ten strong, and during the
afternoon managed TO mingle pretty general
ly with the crowds that swarmed the cor
ridors OF the hotel. The Fort Wayne con-
tingent urging the merits OF q. w Wilson;
OF tnaL place, for the same once had arrived
during Sunday afternoon and night, and inn
mediately upon the opening of the Wilson
headquarters began their aggressive work
for their candidate.
At his Headquarters on the ground floor
a. c. Daily, OF Lebanon, was meeting such
persons as were brought to him by his sup
porters, and his friends circulating
among the delegates that had arrived and
feeling the pulses of the different county
delegations.
Webster s. Richey, of Muncie candidate
for the same office. had his supporters from
Delaware county at work, and they were

John W. Coons, of this city, and w. n.
Liggett, of Columbia City, also candidates
tSr ttSSr AUDITOR OF state, were also busy with
the delegates brought TO them by their
friends.
The same condition prevailed in all of
the headquarters. All of them were crowd
ed during the greater part of the day, and
wire pulling was on in earnest. The wire
pulling is proving very difficult this year,
however. and the friends of most of the
candidates have realized that ii is entirely
useless. All realize that combinations cam
not be formed against such a field of can
didates as will present itself to the con-
Vention.
In this county the greatest interest is
centerlng in the race for Attorney general
on account of the county having three cam
candidates have their friends at the hotel
in force and their headquarters present very
nee bids fair TO be warm ore, and last
night 1t was intimated that result OF
the contest might be TO strengthen sol1e of
the candidates for the office outside of this
county. The outside candidates in the
meantime using their efforts upon the
delegates from outside Marion county and
waiting for the result of the contest here
Each of the outside candidates is hoping

dldates in the event of the contest between
them resulting in the nomination going out
For Clerk of the Supreme Court the.e
are eight candidates, the largest number
IN the held for any particular Office. All
the candidates are expecting a long con-
test In this instance and none of them
are claiming more support than their own
county or perhaps district at the Outstart
All OF them are hoping. however, that
something may transpire in the conven-
ton to stampede the delegates for them.
Ihey are also hoping that by the time the
this office that particular section of the
state In which they reside will be entitled
to make a plea for the nomination on ac-
count of the geographical location
AFTER supper last night a sufficient num-
per OF delegates had arrived to permit
al a in hx- thn frio
the various candidates as to the compare
tive strength of their opponents There
was meeting last night of the candidates
from the Thirteenth district with their
friends. The meeting was a secret one and
1t was sought to keep it from becoming
known generally that such q meeting had
been held. The meeting caused comment
among other candidates and their friends
