the last session OF the Legislature and was
one of the prominent members on the MI
nority side, is at the Grand Mr.. Taylor
will not be candidate for denomination.
and he classes himself as 1.-THE last OF the
Warrickites." Warrick county is Demo-
cratic and has also sent a Democrat TO
the Legislature, but under the new appor-
tionment Warrick is placed with Wander
burg, which means that a Republican Will
represent that district in the future I'm
der the circumstances IL would be useless
for Mr.. Taylor to seek denomination, for
he would have no hopes OF election, so he
will retire from the political arena for the
time being at least.
Frank G.. Salisbury, OF Orland, repre-
sentative from Steuben and Lagrange coun-
ties in the last session of the General As
sembly, is another of the legislative Wis
itors. He expects to be a candidate for
denomination, and as the Republicans of
that district usually give their representa-
tives the Endorsement of at least one re-
election he will probably be back in the
Statehouse year from next January.
Mr.. Salisbury says that Elmer Leonard,
of Fort Wayne, will undoubtedly be re-
elected chairman of the Twelfth district
organization. Il do not know just who will
be candidates against him." he said. IF
there will be any, but the Republicans OF
the district recognize that he has earned
the Endorsement of a reelection, and they
will give 1t to him"
E. III. Chadwick and ]. II. Tyndall, of
Shelbyville, were in the city yesterday, and
called Senator Beverage to invite him
TO deliver an address before the Shelby
County Bar Association some time this fall.
The senator did not indicate whether he
will be able TO accept the invitation.
j. A. NJ. Adair, of Portland, is one of the
politicians who has been attracted to the
city by the state fair and the prospect of
meeting a number of stalwart Democrats
from various parts of Indiana.
John w. Kelly, of Marion, who was the
three years ago, was at the Grand last
night.
Alva NJ. Higgins, of Terre Haute, who
was at the. Claypool yesterday, says that
politics has been lost sight of in Vigo
county for the present, while all attention
is given to the more momentous question
of improvements of the Wabash river, such
that will make it a navigable stream in the
real sense of the word.
About the only thing discussed in Terre
Haute for the past week has been the con-
vention for the advancement of Wabash
river improvements, held there to-day,
said Mr.. Higgins. Great interest is taken
in the project, and the business men or the
cities along the Wabash believe that they
will be able to make a showing before
Congress at the approaching session that
will result in the appropriation of several
hundred thousand dollars to be expended
in Improvements in the Wabash. Since
Representative (Hemenway, of Indiana, is
to be the next chairman of the appropria.
lions committee OF the House, Indiana
should fare we'll at the hands of that com
mittee.
II have heard very little political gossip
recently. There is no discussion of the
congressional question, so far as L know
and believe no candidate to oppose Repre-.
sentative Holiday is in sight. L do not
know just what Mr.. Barcus will do. He
may be a candidate, and he may not.
do not believe he has taken his friends into
his confidence on that point.
z. NJ. Scifres, of Salem, one of the we'll
known Democrats of the Third district, is
here for the state fair and for such polit
zeal news that may develop. There's no
much doing politically down our way a.
present" he said last evening at the Grand
I'VE may have lively fight for the Demo
cratic congressional nomination, but L an
on the outside of that proposition and dc
not pretend to know who Will be candidate,
or who will secure the nomination.
Zone OF your Republican candidates fol
Governor-Frank Hanly-was down our way
recently. He made an address at Orleans
and from all that L hear L judge that h,
made a great hit. Hanly seems to have
many admirers in the southern part of In
