-Manta Indiana's Vote.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15.-Chairman Tag
CART Of the Democratic national committee
arrived here this afternoon, and for two
hours met the members of the State CEN
trail committee and the nominees on the
State ticket and went over the work of the
State campaign. Reports were submitted
from all of the Congress districts, and each
of the committee members told Of the work
that is being done in the several counties.
Chairman Taggart made a short speech
in which he declared that the organization
throughout the East and West was in better
shape than 1t had been for years and that
the ballots in November would show that
the party is completely and permanently
united. He said New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut are certainly Democratic,
and that only Indiana is wanting to make
the election of Parker certain.
Taggart said that ne had pledged this
State to the party ard wanted his friends
to help him to redesm the promise He
was loudly applaudeo during his remarks
and was assured by all the committeeman
that they were putting up campaign
that would win in November.
1t was said that all the Gold Democrats
are supporting the ticket and that while
some free silver Democrats may support
the Populist State and national tickets
the loss will be small.

ID. CADY HERRICk IN TOWN.
Hill Wants Him in the Court Of Appeals
to Checkmate Odell.


d. Cady Herrick was in town last night
The fact that he was here was not known
at the usual meeting places of Democrats
but he was the guest last night at dinner
given for him at the Democratic Club by
ex-senator Mort on Chase.
The only significance in the presence
of Mr. Herrick here at this time is that
David B. Hill also is in town. Mr.. Hill, it
is known, is anxious to have Judge Herrick
nominated at the Democratic State con-
yention for Associate Judge of the Court
of Appeals. Mr.. Hill, according to his
friends, thinks that Governor-Chairman
Odel in bringing about the nomination OF
Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen to succeed Judge
Parker is not being actuated 80 much by
a desire to maintain on-partisanship In
the matter OF judicial nominations as by
a wish to obtain one Of the vacancies on
the Court Of Appeals bench.
For this reason Mr.. Hill has made up his
mind to fight for the nomination OF Attorney-
General Cunneen and Judge Herrick to fill
the two vacancies in the Court OF Appeals
Senator McCarren, who at present Is
as close as any one to Mr.. Hill, said yester-
day that he would oppose the nomination
Of Justice Werner for Associate Judge OF
the Court OF Appeals.
Il will not vote for Judge Werner unless
/ am directed to do 80 by the CAUCUS dele
gates Of Kings County, Senator McCarreni
said If the Republicans were convinced
that they could carry their State ticket
they would nominate only Republicans for
the two vacancies in the court and Il

LAWLEss AND REPREHENsIBLE.
Parker Constitution Clubs Opinion OF
the Presidents Pensi on order.

The Parker Constitution Club Of Demo-
cratic lawyers has begun to issue few
briefs in support Of its motion that many
of President Roosevelt's acts were un-
constitutional. The first brief which came
out yesterday deals with the charge that
the President exceeded his constitutional
rights in his famous pension order.
Those who looked over the briefs many
pages agreed that as campaign document
it was not likely to be popular reading.
only in the last paragraph Is there any
ginger This says:
1t is a fair inference that the action of
President Roosevelt three months before his
nomination was a bid for the pension vote.
il Judge Parker should to-day announce that
his Pension Commissioner when appointed
would give a certificate TO anybody who was
6Oyears old and that his Secretary OF the TreasA
ury would honor the certificate. the reception
OF such pronunciamento by the people Of
this country may be well imagined, Why,
then, should they receive differently the order
Of March last? Indeed. the Presidents act
is far more serious. because he has, without
warrant Of law and seizing the opportunity
OF once, in effect appropriated the nations
money for his own campaign fund. We con-
clude that the order was unconstitutional,
lawless and most reprehensible.

PLATTsBUBo, Sept, 16. - The Clinton
county Democratic convention here yes
terday afternoon was controlled by the
anti-Hill wing of the party. Thomas F.
Conway OF this city was Endorsed for the
nomination for Attorney General on the
State ticket. This action caused consid-
cradle comment because in the county
convention here last spring Mr.. Conway
was Endorsed for the nomination for Judge
of the Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Conway took
the first train for New York after the con-
vention and could not be seen, but poll
ticians here believe that inasmuch as Mr..
Conway Is in high favor with Charles +.
Murphy, as W ell as with many Of the closest
friends Of Judge Parker, the present plan
Of the Democratic leaders is to nominate
Judge Cullen for Chief Judge, John Cunneen
for Associate Judge and Thomas F. Conway
for Attorney General
1t is believed here in Democratic circles
that jerome vi i'll be named for Governor.
1t is reported here that Mayor George Hall
of Ogdensburg, who up to within few
eeks has been candidate for Comptroller,
has decided that his health will not permit
him to undergo the labor and excitement
of hard campaign and has gone to the
Canadian woods, 400 miles north of Ottawa,

GOV. TOOLE RENOMINATED.

Montana Democrats Get Together After
Wransling Over the Butte Delegation.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. 15.-The Demo-
cratic convention here to-day made these
nominations:
Governor, j. X. Toole, Helena Lieuten-
Governor, Edwin Norris, Dillon; Con-
gresham. A. c. Gormley, Great Falls.
The convention had strenuous debate
over the seating Of the contrasting Butte
delegations. The credentials committee
returned two reports, the majority favoring
the unseating Of both the Clark and
Heinze delegations, the minority report
favoring the seating Of the Clark or regu-
lar delegation. The matter was carried
to the floor OF the convention, and at the
request of Gov. Toole a compromise was
agreed upon, whereby the belligerents
each got one-half representation.
By decisive vote fusion with Populists
and labor men was defeated. Martin
Maginnis Of Helena was elected permanent
chairman and delivered a long address,
after which the platform was read and
adopted without dissent. The action Of
Gov. Peabody in regard to the Colorado
labor troubles was denounced.
Major Maginnis nominated Gov. Toole
and. without waiting for a second, called
upon the convention to rise and declare
him the nominee by reclamation, which
was done.

Gov. Roosevelt nominated by Senator
Platt, was asked by the Senator to retain
In their public places all Of these men.
Senator Platt did not fight them because
they stood by their chief On the con-
trary. he had frequently said to his friends
that they would have been pretty poor
specimens of humanity IL they had not.
Gov. Odel adopted a different policy
after Senator Platt nominated him the
first time in 1900. He had not been in office
three months before he began to displace
the men Gov. Morton, Gov. Black and Gov
Roosevelt had retained and who, in fact,
represented the great Republican organiza-
ton throughout the State as led by senator
Platt. A man who showed his worth got a
job That was not the kind Of men, though,
that Gov, Odel wanted around him. Gov.
Odell wanted an individual and personal
machine of his own, whose purpose was
to dethrone Senator Platt, the man who
had given Gov. Odell every political dis
tinction he had ever had.
For the last three years the Governor
Chairman has gone on his way in rivetting
this Odell machine. He has not done this
openly He has done it by the usual Odell
methods, which are subterranean, cruel
and unfair. SO cruel has Governor Chair
man Odell's COURSE been that never in any
Republican State convention has the es-
sence of political brutality been 30 profoundly
observed as in this convention. The dele.
gates who were Office holders were treated
by the GovernorChairman as little more
than cattle and his personal chattels.
