always the target for numerous index
fingers as he moves through the crowds. so
great is his fame, and hosts of strangers
call on him at his room TO ask the privilege
Of shaking hands with him and exchanging
a few words. For this reason the associa-

his own words in this celebrated inter-

General McAlpin's Boom Chilled to
an Untiinely Death.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, June IA boom for General
McAlpine. of New York, was rocketed to-
day, and blazed brightly for while. They
may find the stick tomorrow. along with
the numerous other sticks that have fallen
from these pyrotechnical presidential
booms. McAlpine's crowds paraded the lob
bies and badges were offered to everybody
who would wear one. The Indiana delega-
ton has shown but little preference up to
date for any particular tail-end man, nor
did it take kindly to the McAlpine sugges-
ton, although a few Hoosiers. including
President A. M. Higgins, of the Indiana
Lincoln League, We're in the secret. The
skyrocket was to go up at p. m. promptly
They had their pockets full of badges,
ready to pin on delegates when the hour ar
rived. One delegate from Indiana, however,
recalled bit of history from the national
Lincoln League convention of 1894, when
General McAlpine allowed an Indiana man
to be defeated for an Office after a combi-
nation had been effected with McAlpine's s
friends. This convention was held at Den
yer, and Robert Z. Mansfield, now secre-
tary of the Indiana State committee. was
urged to become a candidate for national
secretary of the league. He was informed
that New York and other Eastern
ers who were backing McAlpine for
the presidency would form a COM
bination with Indiana, Iowa, Colo
rado and number of Western
States to make the slate read McAlpin and
Mansfield. Everything was fixed and
everything would have gone through with
out a hitch had not w. w. Tracey. of Illi-
nois, heard of the combine. Tracey
friends burned out the wires to New York,
asking him to withdraw as candidate for
the Presidency. and some of those tele-
grams are said to have been fakes, pur-
porting to come from McAlpines friends
in Denver. Although McAlpine was a full
fedged candidate, he laid down, and. as a
result Tracey Of Illinois, was elected
president and a New York man secretary.
Even with the combination broken, Mr..
Mansfield received one-third of the votes
for secretary, but it was impossible to Sc
cure the presidency for Illinois and the
secretaryship for Indiana. The next year
McAlpine was elected president and at
tanned national prominence.
A man from Iowa. who knew the bit of
history. is responsible for conveying this
inside information indirectly to the
Hoosiers tonight, and as a result the Nc
Alpine boom received its first chill in this
quarter.
Secretary Mansfield came to st. Louis
tonight and was asked about this story.
Il have nothing to say about it," said he
II don't care to discuss it at all. You will
have to corroborate your story through
somebody else.'' G. L. p.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, June H.-There is much spec
ulation as to what the Indiana delegation
will do at it's meeting tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Besides choosing a member
of the national committee, members of the
platform and credentials committee of the
convention are to be named. The election
of a platform committeeman is apt to pre-
cipitate a warm discussion as to whether
Indiana should take the forward step
which other States have taken in the last
few days on the money question and de-
clare in positive terms for gold, or wheth-
er she should stand by her own plank for
sound money. While week ago the East
erners expressed themselves satisfied with
any sound-money expression, they have
made haste, since coming to st. Louis. to
take advantage of the overwhelming senti-
ment for sound money and push ii to an
extreme.
