INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 5.-There
is an unusually large number of members
of the Legislature in the city in advance
of the assem- bling of that body.
Special interest exists on account of the
fight for the seat of Senator Voorhees,.
The friends of Charles A Fairbanks,
temporary chairman of the St. Louis con-
vention, claim he is in the lead, and the
claim is substantiated by the fact that the
other candidates are not gathering
strength or doing much active work.
Hiram Browniee's recent withdrawal is
taken as strong card in the interest of
Fairbanks, whose friends are also making
much OF the fact that General Lew Wal.
lace's home Grand Army post in Craw-
louisville has failed to adopt resolutions
indorsing him for the senatorship.
