on the train were a great many members
of the Columbia and Marion clubs. none of

tation about the departure The four
coaches had no decoration OF any sort and
no band accompanied the delegation.
The four cars We're coupled to the rear
OF the Knickerbocker train. which is eched-
aled to arrive in Philadelphia at e:1s this
evening. 1t is very probable that Senator
Beveridge will join the Indiana delegation
at Buffalo, y. Y. The tickets are good re-
turning June 26. but as no stop-over is al
lowed the proposed side trip to Washing

Governor Taylor and wife, who left for
Philadelphia last night, will remain in that
city until after the convention Is over,
when they will return TO Indianapolis. The
Governor said yesterday that he did not
have any fear that either the Governor of
Ohio or of Pennsylvania would honor a
reduisition for his return TO Kentucky.
Neither do I fear an attempt to kidnap
me- said the Governor. "Such a proceed
ing on the part of any one would likely
prove a very interesting experience for
them" continued he, "for should certain
" defend myself against any such out
rage" 1t is possible that Governor Taylor
will run over TO New York city while in
Philadelphia.
Governor Mount will leave for Philadel-
phla this evening. He said TO a Journal
reporter yesterday that his name would
not be placed in nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, and that he was in no wise candi-
late for that Office. I'm the event that the
nomination came TO me-" continued the
Governor. II would accept II, II would
seem my duty 10 do so. But in any event,
[ intend 10 uevote my whole time to the
service of the Republican party in Indiana
this fall. and will work just as hard as
though l was on the ticket" The Governor
said he did not think Senator Fairbanks
would be nominated for Vice President, as
he thought it was the intention TO nominate
cim for the presidency in 1904.
