Fit KLIM I N A11Y DOINGS. Incidents Connect<nl With the Arrival of Delegates and Vlsltorn. Imdianapolik, Sept. 2. — Yesterday afternoon the doubt that possibly tho convention might not be well attended began to wear away. States so remote as California, Rhode Island, Florida and Texas sent ovidonco of their support by the arrival of delegates, and all trains following during the afternoon and evening brought additions to the delegates und spectators. The situation, however, did not begin to take on tho inspiring, exciting qualities of a political gathering until late in the evening. About 7 o’clock Alabama and Georgia delegates arrived and were escorted from the depot to the Denison House by Weber’s band of 20 pieces from Birmingham. This being the first crowd to arrive that had gone to tho expense of bringing its music along, the arrival was marked by greater demonstration thou anything that had preceded. Its march into tho hotel was tho first signal for un outburst of applause, which was repeated as the musicians produced "Dixie” to bring out the southern yell and "Yankee Doodle” for a responsive echo from tho north and east. An enthusiast produced three lusty cheers when he prppoeed them f- r "Bragg and Buckner—north and south united,” but there was not a less noisy response when a delegate in another part of the lobby proposed three cheers for Cleve-
land.
Now York’s delegation added to the busy scene about the Bates House by arriving 72 strong at about the supper hour. They each wore a badge of bright red and celluloid on which was announced their place of residence and adherence to a sound currency with gold ivs its basis. Numerous other delegates came in on night trains, either in groups or singly, and indications at an early hour tins morning were that the representation would be little different from that elected to attend the convention. The Grand Hotel crowd was hardly so large as at the other leading hostelries last night. Among the throng there were a good many local residents who are supporting tho Chicago convention. A consequence was frequent arguments between little groups of tn*-n. That any converts were made to either cause as u result of these discussions was not proclaimed. UK AGO AND IHJCKNEB. PreAoinlimnt Feeling Thai This W ill he the Tlilict Named. Indianapolis, Sept. 2.—Senator Vila* has not since his arrival stated what course he will pursue in case the effort is made to nominate him. He, however, declares that Wisconsin is undivldedly for Bragg aud intimates thut when tho proper time comas he will put a quietus upon the talk of himself for the place. It looks now as though the ticket would read Bragg and Buckner, southern delegates arriving last night taking kindly to such a combination. Florida and Washington are for Grover

Indianapolis, Sept. 2.—Aside from the general question us to how fur j tho platform should go beyond a renunciation of the Chicago platform and u strong financial declaration, a contest is likely to be precipitated over the question of incorporating in it an indorsement of tho principle of an income tax aud a declaration In favor of tho retirement of the greenbacks coupled with tho establishment of a new federal banking system. The convention will complete its permanent organization today and then adjourn until tomorrow, as a big mass meeting has been arranged for tonight at which Co'onel Breckinridge of Kentucky, Colonel Fellows of Now York, Mr. Erich of Colorado and other orators will speak. Drcckiurtdiro an Attraction. Indianapolis, Sept. 2. — W. O. P. Breckinridge, the noted Kentuckian, was a central figure about the Denison last evening. He was dressed in a couveutionul biack suit, wore a white tie and a black slouch hut. His snow white beard und well rounded figure gave him a marked contrast to man; in tho lobby. His Kentucky courtesy was tendered | graciously to all who approached, and not u few curiosity seekers were mixed with the acquaintances who sought him out fur u handshake und u pleasant word, which seemed always ready.
