Vilsss and watterson Most Discussed for
 Girst Place the Ticket.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 1.--Many delegates to the national or gold standard, democratic national conven- tion arrived this morning and several state headquarters were opened while decorations which had heretofore been confined to the two leading hotels were placed on many business houses and smaller hotels These decorations consist of American flags, yellow hunt ing and pictures of Cleveland Tilden, Watterson and other noted democrats. National Chairman Bvnum expects the attendance to tax the capacity of Tom linson hall, which will seat i. 600 peo- pie. It is the intention of the manage ment to accommodate all the visitors If possible. For this purpose the tick cts are being carefully guarded and none will oe distributed for local use until the visitors shall be provided for. As to the candidates for the pres den tial and vice preside tial nominations it is possible that quite contest will be de- veloped- Henry Watterson has ca bled from Switzerland his willingness to accept and make fight if named. Senator Villas somehow was regarded as the adlninistra tion's candidate and its was said that Gen. Bragg, for whom the Wisconsin delegation is instructed, would willingly step out of the way. but Ellis H. Usher, of Wisconsin, declares that Mir Villas does not want themomination, was not the administratie candidate and was for Gen. Bragg.
 Although it is generally understood that the president is in full sympathy with the convention and it's purposes, nothing has yet been received from him. The arrival of Secretary Morton, who will probably be the only member of his official family here, and of Comptroller Eciels. is therefore looked forward to anxiously.
