STEELE IN THE CONTEST
HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE SENATE
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED.
A Conference Attended by His Friends
in This City Yes
terday.

Maj George w. Steele, member of Con-
gress from the Eleventh district, spent yes
terday afternoon in Indianapolis and left
last night for Washington to be present at
the opening session of Congress, which con-
venes on Monday. Late yesterday evening
Mr.. Steele formally announced his candi-
dacy for the United States Senate He did
this after a conference held by his friends
from over the State at the Denison Hotel
yesterday afternoon The meeting was held
shortly after Major Steele's arrival in the
city, but he was not present at the confer
ence.
The question of his becoming a candidate
was considered in a careful and unpreju-
diced way, and the field was thoroughly
gone over. At the conclusion of the confer
ence Major Steele was appraised of the de-
cision of his friends and was advised to
announce his candidacy at once. Concern
ing the matter Major Steele said last night:
Il have given this subject very careful at
tention, with view to finding out whether
it was the desire of my friends that I should
become a candidate for a place in the United
States Senate. In looking over the field
have counseled with my friends in different
parts of the State, and have met such as
could come here to-day. On their advice
have concluded to become a candidate. I
believe, and my friends believe, that my
chances for election are fully as good as
those of any of the gentlemen who have
announced themselves
Among those who came here yesterday
to discuss the candidacy of Major Steele
were George A. Osborne, senator-elect and
ex-state committeeman from the Eleventh
district; Henry c. Petit, of Wabash, who
was speaker of the House at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly; Warren Big
Ter, member Of the state committee from
the Eleventh district, and LATE Johnson,
joint senator for Grant and Madison coun-
ties. Major Steele said last night that he
would probably return nome during the
holidays. This week in Washington he will
attend a meeting OF the board Oh managers
of the National Soldiers Home.
