Republicans Choose Delegates to the
County Convention.

Republicans Choose Delegates to the
County Convention.
The republican primaries to select dele
gates to the county convention. which will
be held this afternoon, were opened at noon
yesterday.
In some Of the country precincts the pri-
maries by special arrangement, we're held
from to o'clock in the evening As the
primaries in this case amounted to nothing
more than ratification of states previously
agreed to. the vote was light. There was
absolutely no contest except in the Second
ward, where one man who did not get on
the slate was endeavoring to get place on
the delegation. He failed. This was
the only deviation from the general monot-
ony Of the proceedings. Some OF the Nc
| kinley leaders were in evidence at the vari-
Gus voting places during the afternoon. but
as no contests were in sight they contented
| themselves with merely sizing up the situa-
ton.

Increase in the Harrison Tnlk.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 27.-Lead-
ing republicans politicians here note the in
crease in the Harrison talk They hear
that some Of the generals political friends
in the state have recently received letters
from other states, suggesting that it looks
more and more as If the general will be the
choice of the st. Louis convention. Men
who know the general best, and who say
that he was sincere in his letter to Chair
man Gowdy, declare that he will not de-
cline the nomination if the convention
should see fit to bestow it upon him. 1t is
related that some time ago the general, in
discussing the possible action of the st.
Louis convention with his friends said
"It is one thing to enlist; it is another
go through the Atlanta campaign again, |
but if should be drafted I would go with
out murmurng'
An effort is to be made to prevent In
diana's thrty-two votes going to Mckinley
on the first ballot. Anti-McKinley men in |
other states have suggested that If Indiana |
will not give him solid vote his nomina-
ton can undoubtedly be prevented, and
the convention shaped up for Harrison.
The policy which the state shall pursue
at the convention will be one of the things
considered at the state convention. The
subject may not come before the open
convention, but the party managers will
decide at that time what is best to be |
done. 1t is apparent that there will be |
bitter opposition to any effort to instruct |
the delegates at large.
