INDIANA (. 0. p. IS
 BADLY MIXED UP

Indianapolis, April Especial )-The ar rival of Senator Beveridge in his home city seems to have wrought radical change in the sentiment regarding a. procurement by the state convention on Tuesday. Some days ago the candi- d&tes for places on the state ticket met and agreed that there was nothing to do but indorse the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and pointed out that anything else would put the party in false attitude before the people.
 Today, however, the leaders are all dis cussing the propriety of ignoring the Fayne-Aldrich measure entirely, indorsing the tariff as a principle, whooping it up for Beveridge, without mentioning his vote against the bill, and making the campaign on the theory that some parts of the bill are good, but contains parts not wholly what the republicans would havo made it.
 In looking for precedents for this action it was found that the Mckinley bill was not indorsed by the state convention that first met after its passage, but that the Dingley bill lately was specifically in dorsed The politicians say, therefore, that there is precedent both ways, and the safe thing at this time is to ignore the Payne-Aldrich measure.
