TIL EATEN TO SPLIT PARTY.
Free silver Men Oppose Fleming in
Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. THE
fight for the Democratic chairmanship
was continued today with great bitter
ness, and with the leaders of the two
factions on the ground. State Senator
Fleming. the Gold Democratic candidate
for chairman, arrived last night at mid
night and opened headquarters. and to-
day the other twelve members of the COM
mittee arrived.
The opening of headquarters was the
signal for the coming of prominent Gold
Democrats from all parts of the State.
and close upon their heels came a large
delegation of free silver men, who At
once started the cry that the election Of
Fleming would lead to the disruption of
1856 and again in 1900.
The free silver men did not put up any
candidate, but said they would be salts
fed with any man who had supported
Bryan, no matter what may have been
his Views on the silver question. But
they would not affiliate with the commit
tee with Fleming at its head.
Efforts were then made to induce Mr..
Fleming to withdraw. but he refused to
do so. His supporters held conference
at p. m, and reports were submitted,
showing that he had sufficient votes. but
the figures were hooted at by the Bryan
ties. who said that a majority of the ,om-
mitteemen are not pledged.
The fight is growing more bitter every
hour. and it is predicted that ii Mr.. Flem-
ing is elected another committee will be
organized.

befallen him. They have enlisted the
services of the Pinkerton Detective Bu-
reau in the case, and circulars are being
sent throughout the country offering a
liberal reward for any information as to
the whereabouts Of the lad.
He was bookkeeper, and was studlous
in his habits and fond of reading. particu-
