Clendenning can inform his Kansas City
friends of the fact when he returns.

To the Editor of the Indiana polls Journal:
In your issue of Sunday there is an in
teresting account of the first Republican
state convention which ever met in In
diana. The convention was organized I'M
der the shade of the trees in the State
house Park, May /, 1856, because no room
then existing in Indianapolis was large
enough to hold the people who had come
from all parts of the State to the capital.
The convention nominated a State ticket.
as you state, at the head of which was
the young lawyer, o. p. Morton, destined
to become great figure in the history of
the State and Nation, though this was his
first appearance on the political stage The
convention also appointed delegates to a
Republican national convention to be held
in Philadelphia the following June. The
delegates numbered about forty, and of
these l think two others survive besides
myself. The Journal names George w.
Julian as one of the delegates. This is
erroneous; 1t was his brother. Judge Jacob
B. Julian, who was the delegate.
The Democratic party. up to 1854. was so
thoroughly intrenched in power that its
managers considered it impregnable in In
diana, but In June. 1854 there assembled in
indianapolis convention composed of all
the elements OF opposition-Whigs. Free
Sellers, Knownoth,ngs. etc, called the Flu
sion party. which nominated a State tickle,
and at the October election that year de-
feated the Democrats and put the State
offices In the hands of Fusionists. When
this convention met the Democratic officers
I'm charge Of the Statehouse would not al
low the convention to assemble in the
Statehouse because they said the orga Ia
ton was not healthy one" Indeed, 1,
was not a healthy one that year for them

else such arbitrary power toward its op-
ponents. M. l.. BUNDY.

listing Labor Agitators.

ID. M. Parry, president of the National
Association Of Manufacturers, yesterday
denied the story printed in the BROOKLYN
Eagle in a Washington dispatch stating
that the members OF the Manufacturers
Association intended to make reports of
agitators and undesirable workmen be-
cause of their Affiliations with labor unions
to the officers, in order that a blacklist
might be kept. A discussion of the prop
erty interests and views of employers on
strikes in general. and the recent anthra-
cite strike in particular. was printed in the
same article. 1t stated that IL a blacklist
OF labor agitators could be available To the
employers much labor trouble would be
avoided d. Nj. Parry is credited I'm his
Official capacity of being the instigator OF
the plan.
The plan seems to have been for the fur
nlshing OF new blank forms of contract for
use when manufacturers made new agree
ments with their employees. Violations OF
be reported to national headquarters, where
the black list was to be kept fer the infor-
nation and guidance OF the association
members.
Mr.. Parry says OF the story that Il is
false, but that some ground might have
been found for the rumor from the fact
that G. w Post sent many new forms of
contract to different business firms over
the country asking the opinions of the en-
ployers on the merit of such a contract

Mr.. Parry, land IL would be the last thing

in new BUILDINGS TO-DAY
ADDITIONAL QUARTERS READY FOR
SMALLPOX PATIENTS.
One More Death Recorded and Six
New Cases Observation-Disclosures
tines Established.

The prevalence of smallpox is giving the
health authorities some anxiety. Six new
cases were diagnosed by City Sanitarian
Buehler yesterday and guarantees estab-
lished. There. are now over fifty cases in
the city, with many other known cases
probable because of exposure. OF the pa
tents thirty-two are now in the contagious
disease pavilion at the City Hospital the
pavilion is overcrowGed Relief viii be

They will be furnished Immediately and
patients taken to them. While they are not
the buildings the board wants, they Will
serve the immediate purposes and will De
warm and comfortable. There is capacity
for fifty patients in the three buildings,
and this added capacity will be great re-
lief.
The smallpox situation is more serious
now than 1t has ever been because OF the
virulence of the disease. Heretofore deaths
have been rare, but in the last thirty days
there have been twenty-five deaths. The
last one to die was John Edwards, colored,
forty-six years old, who died at the con-

been at the pavilion only three days. He
had never been vaccinated He was at
fiicted with a virulent type Of black small
pox and his death was almost certain when
he was taken to the pavilion. Several other
patients are expected TO die before the.
week is out.
The saloon OF william Hill, Blake and
New York streets. and the barber shop ad-
Joining, have been closed by the health Off
GERS and a quarantine established.
Quarantines are established in many parts
of the city where patients have not been re-
moved. There has been some complaint
that guards were not maintained at all
places. DR.. Buehler says ii is the policy TO
not maintain guards unless it is believed
the family afflicted will not observe the
quarantine regulations. Wherever 1T is
possible the house is marked only with the
smallpox card. Where the family cannot be
trusted guards are maintained. This is for
two purposes. One is economy; the other
is the inability to always get reliable
guards. If the board finds that its faith is
violated by those whom it trusts ii will i'm
pose a close guard.

II was to be expected, of course that the
talk at the coliseum banquet Tuesday night
should make for this city. so it was quite in
order for Mayor Bookwalter to predict that
Indianapolis would take the lead of all
the inland cities of the country. This seemed
to touch our friend Mr.. Clendenning. of Kan
sas City, in a tender place, for he began
his excellent remarks by saying he spoke
las a representative of the greatest inland
city of the United States to the citizens of
the greatest inland city Of the United
States" This was neat way of at once
recognizing and denying the claim of Indi-
annapolis to be regarded as the greatest
inland city OF the country. 1t was quite as
natural for Mr.. Clendenning to assert the
claim for Kansas City as it was for Mayor
Bookwalter to make 1t for this city. Kan
sas City is fine city with a great future,
and her people have unbounded enterprise
and civic pride. She has enterprising men
to spare. as witness her generosity i'm send
ing Mr.. MCGOWAN here to become identified
in large way with some of our greatest
local enterprises. 1t was also generous on
the part of Kansas City to spare Mr.. Glen
denning. even for a brief season. to give us
some valuable pointers as to how to build a
coliseum. Indianapolis will not forget these
acts of interurban comfy, but the point at
issue just now is as to which is the great
est inland city.
First, what is meant by an inland city?
Generally speaking inland means pertain
ing to the interior of a country. or away
from the seacoast. but 1t is respectfully SUBJ
mitted that that is not it's meaning in the
phrase INLAND city" If 1t were, then Buff

land cities. They are in the interior of the

Smallpox will receive much attention at
the meeting of the State Board of Health
tomorrow. Reports have been received at
the secretarys office which show an alarm
ing condition in many parts of the State.
DIR. Cox. health officer at Spencer, has re-
ported that a family named Chavis, COM
posed of father, mother and nine children,
are all down with the disease. That fam
lily costs the town SO day for physicians,
nurses and medicines. besides fuel and
food. DR.. Cox says the disease in that city
is the result of no provision having been
made for public vaccination.
A number of citizens of Edwardsport
have petitioned the State Board of Health
for help to fight against the epidemic at
that place. Edwardsport is town of 200,
and there are thirty cases of smallpox
there. There is no quarantine, and per-
sons enter or leave houses where there are
smallpox patients as they please. The
school children are daily exposed to the
disease, and the town health board doesnt
give any relief. The matter will be
brought before the meeting of the State
Board tomorrow.

land. L. III. Kerrick, of Bloomington ILL.,.
president of the American Association of
Aberdeen-Angus Breeders, gave an inter-
esting talk before the association. David
Wallace, of Indianapolis, a member of the
State Board of Agriculture urged proper
attention to steers well as to bulls and
cows for exhibition purposes. He said the
State Board would offer a premium list as
large may be offered by the association
for the exhibition OF steers at the next
state fair. His ideas met the approval of
most of the members, and the association
will probably appropriate a suitable sum
for premiums for steers.

The News says: indianapolis will have
to rely on Congressman Mercer If 1t gets
it's federal building saved from back
yard front" In justification of this state
ment ii is said that Mr.. Overstreet's bill
merely calls for large additional appro-
priation to be spent as the treasury archi-
tect directs, while Congressman Mercer is
pledged to oppose what are assumed to be
the architects ideas. The slur upon Mr..
Overstreet is ungenerous, unjust and UNI
called for. Except Senator Fairbanks no
other one man has done as much to Sc
cure the appropriation for new gov
eminent building in this city as Mr.. Over
street. He has had the hearty co-opera-
ton of Senator Fairbanks and others, but
large part of the credit is due to
him. He is working just as effectively to
secure the additional appropriation as he
did to secure the original one, and it is un-
just for any of his constituents to misrepre-
stands the whole situation, including the
wishes of the people of Indianapolis. better
than Mr. Mercer does. and as he has been
reelected to Congress while Mr.. Mercer
has not he can exert more influence in Con-
gress and with the architect than the men,
Der from Nebraska can. The assistance be-
ing given by Mr.. Mercer is highly appre-
ciated, as it deserves to be, but the assump-
ton that Mr.. Overstreet will not use his
best efforts to have the appropriation he is
working for rightly applied is entirely
gratuitous and is poor exhibition of the
"civic pride we have been hearing about.
