FIGHTING FOR LEADERSHIP.

Movements of Democratic Candidates for the Senatorial Nomination. Probability that Holman Will Bo a Compromise Choice Gray's Scheme for Preventing the Succeess of Ills Democratic ratals. Tho more the senatorial question is discussed among the Democrats the more complicated it becomes. New candidates aid c6c:uu!lJ jje added to the list, and there bids fair to, within a few days, be almost as many candidates as there are Democratic members of the Senate. The avowed candidates at present are McDonald. Bynum, Holman and Governor Gray, with Judge Turpie and Judge Niblack available. It is very evident that none of the gentlemen named have a following of the majority of the Democratic members of the General Assembly. While McDonald's name is most frequently mentioned about the hotels, it is openly asserted by quite a number of the Democratic Senators that his nomination by the caucus is out of the question. There are both Senators and Representatives who give it out that under no consideration will they support him if he is nominated. His support comes from the older members of the party, and he is ably backed by Senator Voorhees, hut that portion of the party who style themselves the "young Democracy," are in open opposition to him. They want a man, they say, who represents the latter-day Democracy. Notwithstanding the opposition that has developed in the last few days, McDonald is still vigilantly pushing his canvass. Congressman Ilolman is still in the city, at the Grand Hotel, and is receiving 'considerable encouragement from his friends both in and out J of the Assembly. Unlike the other candidates j he is making no display, but is doing a great deal of effective work in a very quiet way. Since his arrival he has remained in his room at the hotel most of the time, and has been making himself generally agreeable to the members of the Assembly who call upon him. Mr. Holman's chief supporter is Dr. W. D. II. Hunter, of Lawrenceburg, and it is stated that it was on a telegram from him that Mr. nolman determined to come and enter the free-for-all race. Mr. Hoi man's principal chance for success lies in his hope that he may become a compromise candidate, should the fight between McDonald and Gray grow so warm that a third man will have to be taken up. Bynum himself is not making any apparent effort to cet the place, but his friends are actively working for him and have very high hopes of being successful. His Bource of strength conies from his being the choice of the labor organizations, and his henchmen claim that when it comes to a vote, the labor representatives will refuse to support any one else, and he will naturally become the compromise candidate. Recently he has received warm indorsement from the Knights of Labor assemblies of Grant, Clay and Madison counties, and this his friends regard as a point greatly in his favor. Mr. Bynum is still in the city, and, like Mr. Holman, will remain until the tariff question or some other important measure comes up in Congress. Gray's friends regard the revolutionary measures in the Senate as favorable to him. The plan that is being carried out was concocted by Gray's supporters. The plan, when it was first unfolded to McDonald, received his- bitter condemnation, and up to the last nicht he refused to indorse any such action, and pleaded loud and long for its abandonment. But the Gray men, it seems, were in the maionty, and the admonition of the representative of the "old school of Democracy'' went unheeded. The plan was proposed by. Gray's supporters, it is asserted, with the hone of ultimately bringing about a dead-lock, and is one which will result in an adjournment without the election of a Senator, and in that event Gray expects to appoint.Senator Harrison's successor. In making the appointment it will be a point with him to select a man whom he can use as a tool in the future. The. question has been raised whether or not, in case of a failure to elect, Governor Gray can appoint, and many are clearly of the opinion that such a proceeding would be wholly illegal. A prominent Democrat said, last night, that this plan of the Gray men was' to-be carried out to the letter. "It may be illegal," said he, "but we will try it, at any rate." Pierre Gray, speatnng of this question, said, last night: "The Governor ha riot studied the question thorouchly, but it is his opinion that he will have the right to appoint, and it is his intention to exercise is. Previous to the war there was a precedent set, which was against the appointment oi a senator ty tne uovernor or a state, except in case of death or resignation, nut since the war a new precedent has been es tablished, and it is now admitted that he has the right to name the Senator in case of failure of a Legislature to elect." One of Gray's prin cipal supporters, and a man who is on the inside, said, last night, that if given an opportunity to appoint a Senator, Judge Bicknell, of New Albany, would be chosen by Gray. Some of the Democrats who hare just begun to see tne inwardness oi uray g scneme are making ready to oppose it, and it was hinted last night that there is to be an effort made by them to nave Green Smith relinquish his seat next Monday in order to thwart the plan of the "renegade statesman." as some of them call him. , . A Question of Finance. Among the various complications that are likely to arise from the illegal proceedings of the Senate a question of finances is likely to figure quite importantly. It is doubted by many leading lawyers whether any expenditure or loan authorized by the Assembly as now organized could be made bind ing upon tho State, and with this view Mr. J. A. JbemcKe. tne Mate xreasnrer-eiect, has no tified Mr. Cooper that when he takes possession of the office he will not accept in settlement any receipts for money paid on claims emanat ing from the Legislature. State Auditor-elect Carr, whose terra of office begins this month. states that he will not issue warrants for the payment of any claims not bearing the official indorsement of the legally elected Lieutenantgovernor. Poking Fan at the Objector. Special to tbe IndlanavolU Joaroau Washington, Jan. 7. There was a good deal of jesting at the Capitol, to-day, about the candidacy of William S. Holman for the Senate. Congressmen in either party seem to think it a joke, and all the local papers poke fun at him. This morning's National Republican has this about it: "Judge Hoi man's senatorial hopes are not likely to fructify this year, but he -will bear disappointment of this sort bravely, for he is used to it," The Worst Kind of Bad Company. "I suppose you have joined the Democratic party since your son has been appointed . coroner,' said a Journal reporter to Dr. J. I. Rooker, of Castleton. The remark was made by the reporter in a jocular way, but the Doctor failed to see the joke. "No, sir, I am not a Democrat, and have no sympathy with the party or any of their schemes. I am as much of a Republican as I ever was, and am of the opinion that, when my son got into the Democratic party he got into the worst kind of bad company." V Driven to Crime by Want. Dexter E. Fay, who figured here several weeks ago as the spy of the Liquor League, is now in custody at Chicago, where he is to be tried for throwing pepper- in the eyes of a jeweler, and then robbing his store. He is wanted in Milwaukee and several other cities for the same crime. He claims to have been driven o

all his meanness by want, and In an interview in the Chicago News says: ' "1 was driven to do what I did from sheer want. I did not know that I would succeed, nor. did I care if I was caught, for I might as well be in jail as wandering about Btarving. Although my plan caused Mr. Donnelly much pain, it worked successfully, and then I tried it in Milwaukee and Cincinnati. In Milwaukee, where I had lived, I was recognized. I am glad I am arrested, for I don't know how far my successes might have led ne.n

DEATH OF FKANK B. M'DOXALD. Dies in aSiuHgtuii irom Heart Disease After an Illness of Two Weeks. Frank B. McDonald, the only son of ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald, died in Washington yesterday morning, at his boarding-house, No. 1103 G street Northwest He was appointed, through a civil-service examination, to a special examinership in the Pension Office in November, 1885, and, owing to ill health, was cot sent into the field, but rendered service in the office in Washington. He died of- heart disease. For a little over two weeks he had been indisposed, and was unable to perform his official duties, and remained in his room most of the time. He was thirty-seven years old. His genial disposition , made him a favorite among his large circle of acquaintances. He was known and respected by all the Indianians in Washington, and attended all of their gatherings. He had a fund of drolleries, and was a happy story-teller. The remains have been taken in charge by Mr. Colville, his brother-in-law, and wiil leave Washington at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon for this city. His father telegraphed, yesterday afternoon, that a special car had been engaged at Cincinnati, over the C, 1., St L & G, to this city. The funeral services will be held at the residence of the deceased's father. No. 561 North Meridian street, to morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The pall-bearers will be Pierce Norton, James M. Cropsey, Smkh H. Myers, Frank W. Morrison, Aug. L. Mascn, lienry iJoyd, Beni. Jones and Addison Roache, jr. SLOW PROGRESS OF THE RECOUNT. Irvin Gains One Vote, and Wagner Recovers the Three Lost on Thursday. Very slow progress was made yesterday in the work of recounting the ballots in'the Irvin and Wagner quo warranto proceedings. . It was after 9 o'clock when the recount was resumed yesterday morning, and it dragged along wearily until shortly after 2 o'clock, when an adjournment was taken until this morning. The counter-attractions at the new Statehouse draw away all the politicians, and there are hut few spectators of the proceedings. "Goose" Eden is about the only man not di rectiy interested in tne recount wno Keeps a close watch on every movement. xne nrst incident o: note yesterday morning was when one ballot was found on which Ayers had been voted for as a Superior judge, and this made a gain of one for Irvin. It was also found that the Pr hibition vote had been given to Wagner, Ayers and Morrison. One ticket was found on which every name had been scratched save that of Rol lins. In the second precinct of the Third ward there was a gain of one for Wagner, and, in the Fame precinct, Irvin made a gain of two. These were the only losses and gains, and the counting ended with the Fourtn ward, in which there were no changes. As the vote now stands, Irvin has made a gain of one, and Wagner and Mor rison stand as they dm at the beginning. The recount will be resumed this morning. At the present rate, it will take the whole of next week to finish the work. . CLAIMANTS OF A CniLD. A Grandmother's Reason for Refusing to Surrender Possession of a Little Girl. At 4 o'clock last evening a dozen women and as many men, preceded by an old lady carrying a bright-eyed little girl of four years, filed into Superior Court room No. 2, where, besides tbe judge and the court officers, sat a young man and hia wife, who had come to ask the court to grant a writ of habeas corpus to secure posses sion of the bright-eyed child. The young man was its father, and the old lady who clung so closely to the child wa3 his former mother-in law, and grandmother to the little one. The woman beside him was his second spouse, whom he had married soon after the death of his first wife. The grandmother says that her dangater, on her dying bed, requested her to Keen the child, and further more asserted that Theo. W. Weese, the plaintiff, is not the father of the child, it having been of illegitimate birth. Weese claims that Mrs. Sarah M. Hatten, his mother-in-law. has mistreated the child in many ways, and only seeks to retain possession of it because she does not like his present wife. The testimonv was of a very interestlne character, and there was quite a scene when Weese s new wife was called to the stand, bhe said she could n t get up there and talk. She broke down crying, and her testi mony was passed over. The case will be continued this morning. SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORT. Work Upon the State-Honse Mast Be Stopped Unless that Amount Is Appropriated. ' Unless some provision is made by the present Leeielature, work upon the new State-house must ha descon tinned in March next, and cannot be resumed until the August following. The report of the Board of Commissioners, filed with the Governor yesterday, shows that the total amount of expenditure now contracted for is nearly $1,800,000, and the amount already provided for falls short of the necessary sum about $70,000. The general tax levy yields about that amount in August, and by using that tho work may be recommenced, though that tax is intended to pay the unpaid per cent of work finished. The Commissioners have expended about a million and a half already, and tbe cash balance of $25,000 will be wholly exhausted in a couple of months. Mnncie's Natural Gas Supply. Assistant State Geologist Lee returned yesterday from Muncie, where he had been investigating the natural gas supply at that place. He reports the city full of natural gas mains, and a score of families are using it for culinary and heating purposes. The well b nine hundred feet deep and has a pressure of 325 pounds to the inch.

TEE POULTRY SHOW. The Award3 of Preminms Yesterday Organization of a State Association of Breeders. The poultry show at Meridian Rink attracted a large number of visitors yesterday, during the day and evening, The judges on the day before left off on light Brahma pullets, the competition heing so close that the greatest 'discrimination was necessary in order to award the premiums to the proper birds. B. N. Pierce, who judged this class, made the remark . that the light Brahma pullets are the best lot he ever passed on. Up to last year a

light Brahma that would score 03 points was considered hard to beat, hut such is the improve ment made that numerous specimens are now on exhibition that reach a score of 94J and between this figure, which won first place, and 94, there were five prizes awarded, and one bird that scored 94 was given no place, being defeated by two ounces in weight Of the partridge Cochins.

Un temporary organization, l. in. .Earner, or Thorntown, was made chairman and D. H. Jenkins, of Indianapolis, secretary. The initiation fee was placed at $5, and annual dues, $2.

James Cassidy, the observer of the State weather signal corps, now in this city, has issued a circular, addressed principally to railroad men, soliciting their co-operation in organizing the service, which, it is intended, shall he operated in conjunction with the Board of Trade, railroad companies and other corporations, and with the national weather service. Purdue University win conduct tne service, and tnrougn this me dium it is intended to keep the farming com munity informed as to what the weather probabilities will be. The railroads are asked to as sist by either hoisting signal-flags or bulletinboards giving the daily indications. Postponement of Morse's TrlaL xne iuorse case wm not come to trial soon, as the defendants yesterday gave notice that they intended to take the deposition of Louis M. Buscher, of Mansfield, Mo., for the purpose of establishing the reputation of the young man. The prosecutor states that there will be no post ponement of the trial on his part, and denies that there has been any effort made to stand the trial off as long as possible. A Pleasant Episode. A pleasant episode, which missed reportorial attention daring tne past week, was the presen tation of an elegant gold badge to Mrs. Irvin Robbing, the retiring president of the Ladies' Relief Corps of the G.
