Holiday is the only cid soldier mem
Der Of the Indiana delegation and that
element is strenuous in his behalf
There have Eeen frequent rumors that
Senator Earkps Of Terre FTauto will
make another effort to land the nom

prospect OF his entrance, however, that

| The Hon. Thomas Taggart has re-
turned to Frercn Lick His famous
smile was broader than ever when he
| departed. He is 50 pleased over his
big victory in the state convention
that he could not keep from showing
it. He declared that, in his opinion,

is twO-fold, for it is generally believed
that he expects TO become chairman

men in New York who stand very
close to David B. Hill and Judge Par

The Hearst headquarters at the
Claypool hotel will probably be closed
at once. J. Oscar Henderson, who has
been in charge, is now closing up af-
fairs. While it is not disputed that
many Of Hearst's loyal followers are
disgruntled at the result Of the state
convention, Mr. Henderson says that
he takes no stock in the reports that
they will bolt if Judge Parker is nom.
mated. Most of them are showing a
disposition already to abide by the will
of the majority, but close observers
believe that the majority of the Hearst
men are very hopeful that, if he does
not receive the nomination, it will &c
to a third candidate. Already there
seems to be a growing sentiment in
favor of Mcclellan of New York, and
it is possible that Hearst's followers
under the circumstances would sup
port him more Loyalty than they would
Parker.

is now resuming it's normal tempera

during the last six months by the figh
