ever held in Indiana. Secretary Harrington
says that he has received entries from
about every State for the poultry show, and
over two thousand birds have already been
listed, among them being big runs from Cam
ada and Mexico. 1t is not unlikely that Mr..
Tomlinson, of Birmingham, England, a
breeder of buff cochins. will bring some of
his birds here. He has written for particu-
lars of the show.
The midcontinent show at Kansas City
closes five days before the Indianapolis

here unusually successful, as Eastern and
Canadian exhibitors at Kansas City will
stop to exhibit their fowls before taking
them home. large prize list has been
offered, and chicken fanciers seem to real

off the ribbons. Among the many varieties

CADI'S MASS CONVENTION
VIII BE Held on JacksOn's Day, With
out Anything to Eat.

A spirit of bitterness and intolerance per-
vaded yesterdays and last nights meetings
of the push called to prepare for Cadi
Buskirk's mass convention, which is 10 be
held on Jackson's day. Jan. s. In the
afternoon q meeting of representatives of
the various clubs that supported Bryan was
held at the rooms of the Cleveland Club.
Here the famous Edwin st. George Rogers
presided, and such notables from over the
State as Allen w. clark, king of all the
push" and ID. +. Allen, looked in upon the
gathering. AS is usual at the gatherings of
the silver radicals. there were sixteen
words to one thought and a very consider
able waste of lung power. The upshot Of it
all was a decision to have no banquet and
the appointment of the following committee
on arrangements for the gathering: Messrs.
NJ. d. Yontz, George w. Geiger, j. l.. Bell,
W. K. Myers, Thomas Taggart, Myron D.

that the invitations TO the convention be
confined to "those Democrats who support
ed Mr.. Bryan and the regular Democratic
ticket in the last campaign" Nobody
knows OF any souna-money Democrats who
desire to attend the Cadfs mass convention,
but if any such there be, this resolution
bars them out. Then Ii was decided TO in
vite Bryan to address the meeting. but in
aSmuch as there is no offer of $1,000 at
tached TO the invitation. the committee has
but slight hope of securing his attendance
With the almost certain knowledge that he
will not come. the committee also decided
TO invite Senator Joe" Blackburn. of Ken
tucky They want to make this Jacksol's 8
day stand out III bold relief as the great
est celebration in the country, to use the
expression of the member who suggested
the invitation to Blackburn, and they think
Blackburn can bring Ii out. There was

whether John E. Lamb of Terre Haute. or
Green Smith should be invited as an In

Smith on account of 'the burdens he had
assumed in the campaign. and because,
even since 1t is over. that contemplate

on the part OF his champion won the day
for him, and he will be one OF the speakers
