THE PLACE HUNTERS

MAKING THE IjIFE OF THE INDIANA LUG IS I ATOItS A BUSY ONE.

The Speakership Practically Settled by tlio Httiil.v Forces—The Five Candidates For Senatorial Honors Will llcmain Iti the Hace Until the Votes

Are Counted—Guess oi» the Itesult of the First Ballot In the Caucus. Story Credited to Warren G. Sayre.

LOur Special Correspondent.]

Indianapolis, Jan. 4.—The legislature will convene tomorrow, and what with lmnting a place to live during tlie session and listening to the claims for patronage and being pulled and hauled about in the senatorial struggle the life of the average member is a remarkably busy one just now. The organization caucuses this evening were largely perfunctory. The exigencies of the senatorial contest settled the question of the speakership some days ago. There never were more than two candidates really in the fight, Littleton and Sliidoler, and when the Hanly forces decided that it would be good politics for them to support Littleton for the weakening effect it might have upon the Beveridge boom, the i'ate of tho contest was practically determined. Shideler withdrew from the race Sunday night. The thing thus came to Littleton without the necessity of a pledge of any sort, and it developed that Beveridge's candidacy for tho senate, which it was at one time thought might Train his'chances, was the very thing that made his election easv. Littleton will make a good speaker, unless all signs fail. Pie is cool, honest and a good parliamentarian. Long ago he began quietly investigating the character and antecedents ot the various Republican members with a view to the makeup oi his committees, case he should he elected, and it he makes any mistake in the distribution of the chairmanships it will be because he has been tooled his man, not because he dul not try to get a man fitted for the work.

The matter of overshadowing interest, of course, is tho question of who shall be the next senator. Ir. is a settled tact that all five ot the avowed aspirants will go into the caucus. It has been conceded for two weeks that Hanly will go in with more votes than any other and the efforts of his four opponents have been in great measure concentrated upon the attempt to weaken his strength, and, though thev have not been able to wean any of his men awa.v, they have checked his advance asul have even captured a few votes that the Hanly managers naturally supposed should have come their way. While there have been no negotiations- toward a concentration of the field upon any one man, it is a lact. that thev have allowed each other to hold Ins own and have gone upon the theory that a vote taken from the Hanly column was worth two from any other source.

When it first, developed, the causes of the Hanly strength puzzled the otb"1" candidates not a little and they are not yet entirely satisfied that they have it figured out correctly. While it is true that he is a verv eloquent and energetic young man, and has been working upou this nob pretty actively for a couple of years, they could not see what would draw to his support sueli politicians outside his own district as George F. McCulloch, ex-cliairmau ot the state committee, and J. B. Kealing of this citv. Both these men wore extremely active in behalf of Fairbanks two years ago and the first notion of those who do not keep close track of the kaleidoskopic changes of politics was that their activity was an indication of the direction in which the interests of the present senator lay. Kealing began traveling for Fairbanks in the spring of 1S96 and spent his time looking after the nomination of Fairbanks men for the legislature, devoting practically his whole time to it up to the time of the caucus. McCulloch used his influence in the state committee actively to further the Fairbanks cause and gave two months' time after election to the job. But now the story goes that opposition to Fairbanks is the real cause of the active support these men aud those closely associated with them are giving Hanly. Kealing was grieviously disappointed at not being made district attorney, and though he was offered judgeships in Alaska and the Indian territory and the consulate at Nagasaki, he declined to be reconciled. This is the story, and in corroboration it is declared that in his work for Hanly he is declaring that they want a senator who will break the Fairbanks monopoly in handling the Indiana patronage. This cuts both ways, for, aside from the Fairbanks following, which is a powerful one, there are plenty of Republicans not particularly interested in Fairbanks who do not want to see any such factional quarrel in Indiana as that between Hanua and Foraker in Ohio, between Chandler and

Gallinger in New Hampshire, and between the various Hale, Frj aud ReedDingley tactions in Maine. For six years Maine presented at Washington the spectacle ot three men accounted great, with Speaker Iteed not on speaking terms with either of the senators from his own state, and the two senators upon scarcely better terms with each other.

McCulloch is one of the strongest men in the state, but his weakness lies in the fact that his strong will brooks no opposition and leads him into the waste ot a great deal of energy in the profitless task of getting evon. Ho and Perry S. Heath are usually on opposite sides of any proposition in Muncie and, as might have been expected, they have different candidates for the postollice. McCullocli's man was indorsed by Congressman Henry, but that did not suffice to settle tho light, and McCulloch demanded that Fail-banks interfere. This the senator declined to uo, and this is said to be tho cause of McCulloch's

grievance. Whatever the cause or

Mc­

Culloch's and Kealing's support, it is accountable for six Hanly votes in tho Eighth district, and two or possibly three votes in Marion county that would never have thought of going to him under other circumstances.

The managers of the several candidates naturallv continue to put forth very large claims, partly because they are honestly deceived as to tho strength of their favorites, and partly because they hope to deceive members into the belief that their man is a sure winner and tho "baud wagon" is about to start. Their figuring, however, is reduced to individual cases. I have looked as closely as possible for one on the outside into the attitude of each member and the influences iu'ound him, and while there are still four or five men who have given no indication as to when they stand, I am willing to venture a guess as to about how the first ballot would stand if it were taken today. There are now 89 members, but there will be 90 before the caucus, for it will not tako the senate long to determine the contest for the Madison-Hancock-Rush district and scat Stoner, who was rightfully elected, beyond doubt. I would divide the 90 votes up thus: Hanly 27 Taylor 21 Posey l." Beveridge 113 Steele

11 A.

C.

llun is 1

Harrison 1 Mount 1 This does not give Beveridge much of a showing, but his strength lies in the second choice, and it is conceded that he will be one of the factors at the finish. Steele has been handicapped by geography and by the failure of two or tliree members in his own district to support him, but his managers declare that he has a lew tilings "up his sleeve" that, will surprise people when it comes down to balloting. There has been much speculation as to how long Posey's forces will hang together. I have talked With nearly every one of his supporters, as well as with a number of: Republican leaders of the First district, and they are unanimous in the declaration that they will stand bv Posey until Pose\ himselt asks them to desist. Posey says he will not ask tlieiu to desist until the balloting is over and somebody is nominated. The only inclination to get away from him that I know ot lies with one or two members from his own district, but. every leader in tho district, including those who have opposed Posey most strongly in local politics, is advising these members to stand linn for tho sake of district politics. Should Posey go it pieces, almost half his strength would go to Hanly. Should bteele tro to pieces, Tavlor would probably bo the beneficiary ot. most ot his votes. Should Beveridge go out. or Taylor, ov lia.ilv, there is no telling how their strength would divide, but it is probable that the race will have to be reduced to two before any one will have enough to liomiliato.

There has been talk of all sorts of "movements" during'the past week, but the most, dangeruus. was an etl'or made to gather in 12 or 15 unpledged men and make a mutual agreement among them to throw their votes together as the majority might decide. This scheme was cradled in the hopo of making a patronage deal for the benefit of the men who would thus covenant, but there were not enough members inclined to go into that sort of politics to make the scheme effective.

This contest is likely to stand out in history as one oi the very lew senatorial elections in the country where there was a warm contest and uo ground upon which to base a charge ot the use of money. In the first place none ot the candidates are wealthy and there is no reason to believe that any of them would countenance anything that smacked in the least of boodle. Judge Taylor has enjoyed a lucrative practice at the bar lor many years and is probably more comfortably circumstanced than any of the others, but if ho thought a $10 bill was being used any questionable way in his behalf he would get out of the race. Nor is hi the kind of a man that would rest iu ignorance about anything of that sort. Ho insists upon knowing just what his lieutenants are doing, and if he caught them doing anything that was repugnant to his very clear notions of right and wrong the game would be up in a minute. The rest of the candidates are without any particular means, and in one or two instances I know of, personal friends have chipped in to help pay the legitimate expenses of their canvass. These perfectly legitimate expenses, by the way, are no small item. Emissaries must be sent all over the state and their expenses paid hosts of friends must be invited to spend a couple of weeks at the capital to do what they can telegraph and postage bills pile up expensive hotel headquarters must be maintained, and there are dozens of incidental trifles that all help to swell a pretty large total, without a penny spent outside of perfectly legitimate channels.

The exact date of the Republican caucus has not yet been fixed upon, but it will probably be hold on Jan. 12, though there is considerable effort to fix it as early as Tuesday evening, Jan. 10. The Hanly people are particularly anxious to have it over with as early as possible, and everybody realizes that no committee work can be done until it is out ot the way.

Hon. Warren G. Sayre of Wabash was hero last week, and did not hesitate to say that he was opposed to Steele. Sayre is one of those unfortunate men, who has acquired the reputation of being a wag, and gets credit for many a misanthropic quip ho never uttered. Whether lie said this or not, I do not know, but ho is credited with having sized rlio situation up thus: 'Hanly has no bottom to hold Ins boom, and it will fall through. Posey is just a candidate from force of habit, and won't last any longer than usual. That leaves three, and who are they There's old Judge Taylor, who can think and can't talk. There's young Beveridge, who can talk aud can't think. And thoro's Steele, who can neither think nor talk."
