INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September L.
The hotels are filling up with dele
gates to the gold-standard democratic
convention which assemblies tomorrow
and the center of the city has decided
convention air. Not many men Of
great prominence have SO far put In al
appearance, but by this evening the
old-line democrats will be here IN
force. Tomlinson's hall, the scene Of
many historic national and state con.
ventions, has been beautifully decorated
by the local committee. The sentiment
of the delegates on the ground is de-
cidedly favorable to the "two B's''
ticket, General Bragg, Of Wisconsin,
and ex Governor Buckner, Of Kentucky.
Both ex.Congressman Bynum, OF
this city, and S. FL. Holding, of Cleve-
land, have friends who are urging their
availability for the second place on the
ticket.
The national committee has estab-
lished itself In parlor twelve Of the
Grand hotel. Five hundred seats have
been arranged for the press in Tomlin-
sons hall, and which has capacity for
5000 people. Sergeant-at-A Arms Wal
ter Kesseler and his staff were busy to-
day completing the arrangements for
the gathering.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September L.
The early morning trains brought
many delegates to the national demo-
cratic convention. General Bragg and
Senator Villas, OF Wisconsin, were
among the first to arrive. John Z.
Irish, formerly of the bureau of en-
craving and printing at the national
capital, now a resident of California,
came on as an avant courier of the
California delegation, reporting the
members from the southern part of the
state shut off by wash-out, and that
they would not be able to reach In
dianapolis. The decorations of Tom
linson hall are very effective.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The national committee, although
billed to meet at 10 o'clock tAas morn
ing, did not bave a quorum at noon,
and thereupon decided to take recess
till 2 O'Clock, this afternoon, by which
time 1t is thought that quorum oi
members will have reached the city.
But little work has been outlined, but
1t is probable that the committee will
simply ratifg the temporary organiza-
tion suggested by the executive COM
mittee.
JOHN F. IRISH TALKS.
John p. Irish, of California, was
seen this morning, shortly after his ar
rival, by representative of the United
Associated Press. 81 anticipate the
defeat of Bryan in California by 5000
majority SAID Mr.. Irish. 'sHe will
be beaten also in Oregon, Washington,
and, strange to say, the mere ele-
ment Of self-respect and state pride In
Nevada may lead to his defeat in that
state. Senators and members of the
national house OF representa- yes from
Nevada, Messrs. Stewart, Jones and
Newlands, three millionaires, all live
ia California and visit Nevada only to
secure their own return to the offices
they hold. The people in Nevada, this
year, show patriotic disposition to Sc
cure representation in congress by the
people who live IN the state. Heretofore,
their politics have suffered from sort
of extreme external proprietorship, like
alien landlordism in Ireland, ''and resi-
dent taxpayers are tired of It..
