indianapolis. JunG IA o. Marsh
of Winchester. whorhas been appoint
ed pension agent fofIndiana, WAS here
yesterday afternoos Il understand
that l shall take ofD,e about the mid
die Of January" hesaid, and l shall
not have a singles appointment 10
make. In some resfec,s that is re
lief. Although il il good deal OF
pleasure 10 be able &c distribute favors
among ones friends.politieal appoint
menrs always leave heartburnings.
Mr.. Marsh is a mepber OF the conn
mittee that has the arrangements for
the dedication of the Soldiers monu-
ment in charge Tomake the dedica-
ton complete we shotld have the pres
ence of the Acknowledgment" he said.
Unless the expensespf mobilizing the
guard are paid by popular subscrip-
ton, l do not know fpw we can have
that important auxiliary. l am in
favor of dedicatfng the monument just
as soon as all of the necessary ar
engagements can be completed"
The executive committee that has In
charge the arrangements for the dedi-
cation of the Soldiers monument was
in session at the governors office yes
terday afternoon, viii brief interim
for lunch, and adjourned without de-
Gliding on n date for the dedication of
the monument. 1t is understood there
is great difference Of opinion in the
committee, some members believing
that the dedication should take place
this year, while Others including Gov
ernOr Durbin, who was elected chair
man of the committee, want the ded-
ication postponed until next year. A
plan Is on foot for an imposing pa
geant in the shape of a parade of the
battle-hags used by Indiana regiments
and batteries in the Civil war. These
are locked up in glass cases in the
state museum, and the law providing
for their care in this way also pro-
vides that they shall never be removed
except on the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the monument.
Postmaster Thomas IL Adams of
Vincennes is here. If you want TO
see a real live town come to Vim
cennes," he said. -Four hundred new
houses are now being built in the town
and we have just secured a valuable
addition to the city's industries in a
glass plant employing a good many
people. Vincennes is wideawake and
prosperous" Mr.. Adams smiled when
it was suggested that the Second dis
trict already has a superiority Of hus-
Ting candidates for Republican state
nominations. Il am glad it is So" he
said. Il remember when only Demo
Gratis were candidates for state offices
from our district. 1t is a healthy sign
when Republicans are hustling for the
Offices"
Walter Schmitt of Evansville, 4
member of the executive committee
was here yesterday and held con-
ference with the governor. He said
he was merely passing through the
city Ell route east on a business mis-
sion. Financially and industriously
Evansville is prospecting, he said
Eph Marsh and William Cook, lead
ing attorneys of Greenfield were here
yesterday afternoon. Some time ago
Mr.. Marsh created sensation by
joining the Columbia club He has
been rock ribbed Democrar or
his life, but Joined the Republicans on
the money issue. He speaks in glow
ing terms of the splendid wheat crop
in Hancock county.
1t is understood that negotiations for
the purchase of the indianapolis and
Greenfield interurban line have been
closed. The purchasers are Albert Lie
Der, Frank Maus Fauvre and other
indianapolis capitalists who some time
ago secured an option on the property,
paving $4,000 down.
