NO POLITICS JUST NOW
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
WILL HAVE NO MEETINGS.
Members Declare that Everybody just
Now Belongs to the Great
American Party.

There was a meeting of the Republican
state central committee yesterday to con-
slider the subject of calling the state con-
vention. 1t was decided that this is an
inopportune time to call any political con-
vention and no date was fixed for the state
convention. 1t was also decided to postpone
all the love feastS that had been arranged
for the districts of the State. To-day, act
ing under instructions made yesterday,
Chairman Hernly will leave for Washington
to work for the appointment Of General
Mckee as brgadier general of the Indiana
troops. Until a short time before his de-
parture Mr.. Henry was not aware that
Mr.. Mckee was a Democrat. This, when it
was called to his attention, Mr.. Hernly
said would make no difference. He said that
there is no politics in the present conflict
and that men of all parties should work to-
gether for the common good of the Nation.
Mr. Hernly indicated that he was more anx-
ious to do something for the good of the
State and Nation than to reap political adj
vantage.
Among those in attendance at the meeting
of the committee yesterday were the fol-
lowing of the district chairmen:
First-George A. Cunningham Evansville
Second-Joseph E. Henley, Bloomington.
Fourth--ThomaS McNutt, Madison.
Fifth-N. Filbeck, Terre Haute

MEETING OF OFFICERS.
Cannot Understand Why Any Other
than Mckee Should Be Thought Of.


than McKee, Should he Thought OF.
A meeting of the regimental colonies and
the ranking officers of the artillery was held
yesterday to consider and to protest
against the appointment of Colonel Henry
w. Lawton, of the regular army to the
command of the Indiana brigade, which, it
is reported in dispatches from Washington,
is about to be made. Senator Fairbanks, at
Washington, was called up over long,
distance telephone and informed that the
Indiana National Guard wanted to make
the strongest protest possible to President
Mckinley against the removal of General
Mckee from its command. Senator Fair
banks agreed to go to the President i'm
mediately and put the protest before him.
In addition the petition mentioned above
was written and sent to the President
The officers of the National Guard cannot
understand why the appointment of any
other man than Mckee should even be con-
sidered. When the meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the National Guard of In
diana, Illinois. Ohio. Pennsylvania and New
York was held in Washington two weeks ago
they were given to understand positively
that the organizations of each State would
be mustered into the general army intact.
Charles L. Hernly. chairman OF the Re-
publican state committee. called at the
camp yesterday and after being made ac-
quainted with the condition of affairs and
the trouble that the appointment of Col.
Lawton or any other man than General Nc
Kee to the command of the Indiana soldiers
would bring about announced that he would
start for Washington last night and lay the
facts before the President. From the num-
Der of influences that are at work against
Colonel Lawtons appointment 1t looked as
If the announced action would surely be
abandoned. The feeling at the camp was
very bitter when 1t became generally known
that the appointment of Colonel Lawton
was pending. The sentiment was that If
General Mckee was removed not COM
pany would volunteer to be mustered into

observation-disclosures Letter.

The delegation of Evansville citizens, sent
here to protest against the mobilization of
the troops at indianapolis, was received by
the Governor yesterday morning at $3.50
O'Clock. The committee was made up of the
following: Mayor w. A. Aiken, Col f. o.
Hopkins, Hon. f. w. Cook, Hon. George a.
Cunningham, Col. William Nelson and Will
liam Warren. The committee made a formal
protest, arguing that, as the order from the
secretary of war commanded that the troops
be modified at Evansville, it was not just
that they be brought into camp in this city
Governor Mount showed the gentlemen the
telegraphic order he had received from Sec
rotary Alger, explained to them that no one
had higher authority than the Governor to
decide upon the point of mobilization and
insisted that they were mistaken in their
claim that the troops ought to have been
ordered to Evansville The visitors saw their
mistake and gracefully withdrew, satisfied
with their VISIT if disappointed in the re-
suits
A dispatch from Washington, received last
night, gives in full the letter of instruction
from Secretary Alger to Governor Mount.
The letter bears the same date as the tele-
gram requesting the mobilization of the
troops and is signed by Russell A. Alger,
secretary of war. 1t is as follows:

vide for temporarily increasing the military

RECRUITS
For Work Are
Plenty.
JOHNSON'S PLANT
Reinforced With Army of
on-Union Men.

Fred I. Johnson, manager of the liver
Johnson Arms and Cycle Works at
Fitchburg, where there is a strike in
progress among the workmen in all
departments of the factory, closed last
evening, the office at 81 Central street,
which he has had open the past few
days for the purpose of securing men
to go to Fitchburg, to work on the jobs
which the strikers left. He is highly
pleased with the success of the stay
in Worcester and says that 1850 of Wor-
cester's workmen will go to his factory,
where permanent positions await them.
He also has the names of about 100
more men whom he has promised to
write to, telling them when he VIII
place them to work.
Mr.. Johnson states that he has found
that the best of workmanship can be
received from Worcester labor, and he
closed his office in this city with many
pleasant hopes of the success of the
plan which he has adopted-putting so
many non-union men at work. He will
go to Fitchburg this morning, and in
tends as his notice in The Spy shows,
to receive any more applications which
may come in at the factory in Fitch
burg.
The men he has already hired, in
clude worlxmen in nearly every branch
of the business, and he has succeeded
in filling UP many of the vacant places.
| He is just as strong as ever in his
idea to let the men go, if they still
insist that striking is the proper thing
to do, and he believes that there will
be no trouble in placing the new men
at work The probability of an OUT
break, he does not fear in the least,
as some of the men are already in the
| city ready to begin their labors.
True, there have been strikers in
Worcester, doing picket duty in the
| Union depot and around the recruiting
station, but at no time were they in
evidence. officers have been detailed
| from the police department tc queu
| any disturbance that might arise, but
everything has been quiet in that Sec
| ton, and no trouble at all has resulted.
Members of the picket brigade, who
| have been in Worcester, have not been
prominently on duty at any time, and
no one would know that they were in
| town.
Representatives of the Fitchburg
strikers say that the success of the
| firm will be over in short order, and
| they believe that there will be a hot
| time in Fitchburg, when the men at
| tempt to begin work. No serious re-
suits have yet been in evidence, as a
result Of the strike, and those who
follow the practice of striking bodies,
claim that there will be none. The
striking bicycle men have formed them-
selves into a union, which has secured
the good will and personal aid of JEFF
| ferson D. Pierce, president of the state
/ branch of the American Federation of
Labor, and that individual has been
| in Fitchburg directing the strike moves
ments, and telling the striking work.
men to remain firm and not give in.
