predicted there will be a plank affirming

pensions Tor the veterans.
The annexation of the Hawaiian islands
will, in all likelihood, be approved and
there will be plank favoring the construc-

Representative George w. Steele, of the
Eleventh district, came to the city yester-
day to remain until after the State conven-
ton. Major Steele has just returned from
Togus. Me-, where one of the national SOL
diers' homes is situated and where a meet
ing of the board of managers was lately
held. There are seven of these homes al
ready completed. Major Steele says that
20, 600 veterans were cared for in these homes
last year.
I'm my district" said the major, my
friends don't have to work as hard as they
used to. A few years ago when the district
was from 1850 to 1900 Democratic my
friends carried it for me by from 800 to
500 plurality. Now that the district is about
400 Republican we don't have the hard
work to do that we used to. The people
of the district have been very good to me-
Major Steele does not believe that when
peace between Spain and the United States
is declared the President will find 1t neces-
sary to call an extra session of Congress
for the purpose of keeping together enough
volunteers to settle all phases of the Cuban
question. He thinks that until the Pres
ident is assured that there will be no future
trouble with the CubanS he will not declare
the war at an end give the soldiers to
understand they are discharged. Hence
there will be no need of a special session of
Congress. Major Steele is an ardent adj
mirer of President Mckinley and trusts
the President to settle all of these vexa-
tiouS questions.

HALL ARRANGEMENTS.
Delegates VIII Have Exclusive Use of
First Floor

Delegates to a state convention never
found Tomlinson Hall more comfortably ar
ranged than the delegates who assemble
this afternoon will admit it to be. The rule
prohibiting any but delegates on the main
floor will be enforced. To this end barriers
have been built at the main entrance on
the second floor assuring to the delegates
the entire first floor and corridors Inside
the hall the delegates will be seated by dis
tricts. Each districts place is indicated by
large pacard, and each is separated from
the others by broad isles, assuring the del
egates the utmost freedom in getting back
and forth to their seats. The First district
will be seated to the left of the stage, at
right angles with 1t, so that the delegates

While there has been an effort to give the
delegates all the room necessary, it has been
the desire to seat all SO that they may hear

While the decorations are not elaborate
they are very tasteful and striking, bunt-

party leaders and national characters being
profusely used. The band that is to furnish

Predictions of Surprises in the Con-
ventiOn.


Several hundred of the delegates to the
state convention arrived yesterday and last
night. While the Denison Hotel being the
headquarters of the candidates. was the
central point of interest, all the other hotels
had a larger number of guests as a result
of the convention than they have had for
many day. AS soon as they were lodged
for the convention the delegates hurried to
the Denison Hotel and took the elevator
to the parlor floor, anxious to see the can
didates, learn how their friends were run
ming" and engage in those hours of cleo
pioneering enjoyable to active politicians
Each delegation that arrived seemed to be
bent on the nomination of a certain can
didate and was ready to predict success
for its man. Some were less confident after
getting in touch with the situation. Poll
ticians who are well informed said that
there was no such thing as making accu-
rate predictions and that nothing definite
could be asserted as to the successful men
at least until tonight, If then. One thing
was apparent to those who scanned the
delegates. 1t is that the convention will be
one OF the finest bodies of men ever gath
cred in Tomlinson Hail. The delegates are
men whose bearing and conversation stamps
them Tor well-informed men, who have
IDEAS OF their own and who will be guided
by their own Judgment as to what Is best

Meeting of State Committees.

Last night there was a meeting of the
state central committee and advisory and
executive committees in the Century Club
rooms at the Denison Hotel. The work of
the various committees that have been ar
ranging for the convention was reviewed
in detail and approved. It was announced
after the meeting that nothing beyond this
had been done. One or two suggestions
were made. 1t was decided to have one as
sistant sergeant-at-arms from each district
selected at the district meeting to-day in
addition to one vice president and one sec
rotary from each, authorized by the official
call.
Edward e. Hendee, of the Eighth district,
will probably be selected for permanent sec
rotary of the convention by the committee
on organization when it meets to-day. Mr..
Hendee lives at Anderson
There has been an unprecedented demand
for tickets to the convention, and the sup
ply will be more than exhausted before
more than half who are asking for them are
suDDlied.

for the well being of the party and the
good of the State, and who will insist
nominating thoroughly competent men of
undoubted integrity
There are predictions that the convention
will be full OF surprises. From the drift of
the talk of the delegates none of the cam
didates that have been singled out as alb
solutely certain of success have a "sure
thing" and but few If any, of them can
regard themselves as already nominated.
There is an air Of quiet determination about
the delegates which indicates that they
understand the responsibilities that rest
upon them and are ready to assume them.
Among the delegations arriving yesterday
were many professional and business men
of standing and fair representation of the
farmers. The papers that were intent on
stirring up fractional fight in the conven-
ton through a sheer desire to a hot
time have made but little impression on
the politicians from over the State, and as
extensive combines as are spoken of.
The delegates seemed confident that no
undetermined efforts would be put forth and
that they would be permitted to do the
work before them without let or hindrance.
Not all the delegates arrived yesterday,
but, there were enough on hand to keep the
various candidates busy from noon until
late at night when the headquarters were
closed for the day. Campaign managers of
the various committees were on the alert
and constituted themselves into steering
committees to see that the delegates met
the candidates whom they were Interested
in seeing nominated. With all the animal
ton about the big Railways on the second
floor of the Denison the crowd was compar-
atively quiet, and but for the large crowds
IN the Corridors down stairs stranger IN
the city would not have suspected that the
preliminary skirmishes Of great conven-
ton were being carried out on the floor
above. Many prominent Democrats called
during the day. They seemed lost in crowd
that was so different from the disorderiy
mobs that they have encountered in this
county this year in the minor conventions
of their own party.
Ex-Governor Claude Matthews, John w.
Minor nominee on the Democratic ticket
for state auditor and Henry Warrum, nomi-
nee on the same ticket for clerk of the SUI
preme Court, were among those who spent
considerable time about the candidates.
headquarters. They parted with good ma
ture the leading questions that were asked
them as to how badly the party was going
to be defeated at the November elections.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 1.-The
