The School Commissioners Requested to Provide for a Department of Technology. At the meeting of the School Commissioners, last night, George Merritt, trustee of the Gregg bequest, presented ' a communication in which he showed that the Gregg income fnnd now amounted to $17,267.77. He requested the board to consider whether the present was not an opportune time to erect a building on the grounds of Highschool No. 1 outof this fund that could provide snitablo quarters for a manual training school, to be known as the Gregg School of Technology, the Gregtj income fuud to be used to endow a professorship in that school. Mr. Merritt, in concluding his communication, stated that such a use of the money would bo a proper acknowledgement of the beqnest. and would, ho thought.be in accord with the character and wishes of the douor. Mr. Merritt, who was present, was invited to speak, bnt declined, remarking that ho had nothing to say in addition to what appeared iu his communication. Mr. Conner said that according to tho drawings and plans, incomplete they were, tho now Gregg school hmldingwill havo a frontage of forty-four feet on Michigan street with a depth of ninety-four feet, not including the boilerhouse to bo located iu the rear. On the ground floor will be located the lathes and beneh work, together with engine, lumber and wash-rooms. The second lioor, forty by sixty feet, will be divided into rooms for drawing and recitation, and the entire cost of the building.when complete,wili be, it is estimated, about $12,000. This will provide room for instruction in drawing, bench and lathe work for 240 pupils per day, or eighty at each three-hour session. About one-fourth this number is at present provided for in the Normal School. Ho thought this kind of a school is along at tho front of public thought on the question, and he hoped tho commissioners will bo able to act on tho matter this year. The communication was referred to tho finance committee and the committee on mauual training. Tho report of the committee on building and grounds, recommending the purchase of two lots adjoining IchoolNo. 12 for $1,000, was adopted. Tho committee on finauco reported that the dfHcial bonds of tho treasurer, assistant secretary and building and supply agent had oeen duly filed. The board then adjourned. New sideboards at Wm. L.

BRINGING WORKERS INLINE

Republicans, with Unity of Purpose, Gather to Reorganize the Committee, They Tell of Promising Conditions in All Tarts of the State Waiting the Opening Efforts in the Next Year's Campaign. Harmony with Another GreatSnccessin View Characterizes Every Action. 2Ir. L T. Michener Chairman, with Other Offices Likewise Filled with Competent 3Ien The Administration Indorsed. GATOERIXO OF THE WORKERS. They Come from All Part of the State with Good Reports. The earnestness and unity of purpose thatmovo the Republicans of tho State to get their lines in readiness for tho campaign next year wero manifested, yesterday, in the crowd that filled the New Denison House lobby. It was the first coming together of tho committeemen, party workers and advisers since the election, and the readiness with which they discussed probabilities showed that tho Hoosier Republicans were unwilling to let tho enemy have even a resting spell. While tho actual business to be transacted was limited to a reorganization of the committee, with active campaign work a year ahead, tho spirit with which everything was said and dono indicated that the contest to strengthen the victory of last year cannot begin any too soon. It seemed to be so generally accepted that Mr. Michener would be chairman that the convention and exchange of opinions drifted almost entirely in other directions. Other persons wero suggested for the position, each with the comment that ho would make a good leader, but the wish of the party men from all parts ofthe State favored Michener. As to tho tner officers to be chosen there was but little talk, although here and there suggestions were made in regard to the secretaryship. But the majority thought it best to leave tho matter in abeyance until the chairman -was selected. It has been regarded for 'a long time as the proper thing to let the choice of a secretary be directed according to the preference of tho head of tho committee. Thus with opinion relative to the immediate object so free from anything that would give an opportunity even for discussion, the Republicans had nothing to do but to talk about the future and how to meet the local and State issues that will CQhie into the campaign of next year. It was hot weather for politics, but in dealing with it the various groups sought the coolest corners and places in the hevr Denisoulobby. Rut noone remained longln one spot. Everybody had a desire to shako hands with everybody else, and learn how a flairs were in all localities from Posey to Lake, from Switzerland to Steuben, and Iheu across the State, down the middle and diagonally from corner to corner. It was good news, too, that he learned as he passed from one to another, encountering on the way a score or more engaged in tho same mission. Nobody had anything to report but that the administration was giving satisfaction, and that faith in it had not only been realized, but was firm as to the future. There was nothing to show ill feeling, contention or want of harmony. 'And for earnestness and activity such a meeting could not have had more of that element essential to political success if it had occured six months before rather than eight months after the election. Nearly every important town in the State had a representative, and some, not content with one or two, had a half dozen ot more to speak for its Republicanism and fealty to party. New Castle 6ent, perhaps, tho largest contingent, for a deserving young gentleman and wide-awake Republican of that place was being urged for the secretaryship. It was Frank N. Millikan.and to support him there wero from his town Col. Eugene Dundy, Senator Gross, I). W. Kinney, W. O. Bernard. Representative V illiam A. Brown, Adolph Rogers. C. S. Hernly. S. T. Powell and K. M. Nixon. While it had no candidate to subserve the interest of the party, Kokomo was represented by such stout Republicans as II. M. Sailors, B. F. Harness, P. C. Spraker, W. C. Purduef Representative J ohn N. Loop and C. C. Shively. Of course, Committeeman Sweland was there from Tipton, but there camo with him M. W. Pershing and J. O. Seright. From Covington E. If. Nebeker brought cheering information, and Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, had always a group around him. C. M. Rock, of Knightstown. A. C. Pailv, Lebanon, and W. E. Peacon, Shelby villo, could be seen here and there, and ox-Congressman James T. Johnston, of Rockville, was as cL erf ul as if the recollection of an unmerited defeat had neverexisted. Senator Boyd, J. R. Gray and ex-Senator Graham, of Noblesville, found room waiting for them in every group they approached. E. G. Rctchio, of Goshen, B. ilson Smith, of Lafayette: F. A. Trumbull, of Lafayette, and J. W. Thompson and Judge Monks, of Winchester, contributed their information to the general run of political gossip. Sid Conger, of Flat Rock, had the best things to say about the Republicans in Shelby, while Lewis P. Stubbs, Senator H. U. Johnson and John F. Kibby, of Richmond, told about aHairs in Wayuo. M. M. llnvley and Walter B. Godfrey, of New!Albany,b;.ported aflairs in Floyd as being in good condition, and Nicholas Ensley, of Auburn, brought like news from his far corner of the State. Col. J. II. Jordan and Sanders Hubbow were there from Martinsville. Smiley N. Chambers represented Vincennes, and in this place or that could be seen 8. M. Hardy, of Lena; Chas. Landig, of Delphi; Hiram Iddings and M. Bungan, of Kcndnllville; Gen. Renb Williams. John W. Chapman and L. W. Royse, of Warsaw: J. C. Batchler, of Vernon, and J. H. Bnrford and J. L. Goben, of Crawfordsville. About the lobby were, also, PeWitt C. Justice, P. W. Tomlinson, Congressman Owen and Frank Swigert, of Logansport; Georgo W. Robertson, of Mount Vernon: W. H. Staley. Congressman Cheadlo and W. H. Hart, of Frankfort; A T. Nowlin, of Lawrenceburg; W. T. Purbin, M. A. Chinman and John W. Lovett. of Anderson: J. W. Studv, of Rushville; Senator Tneodore Shockney, and George W. Patchell, of Union City: E. P. Crumpacker, of Valparaiso: M. R, Sulzer, of Madison; John liamson, Terre Haute: H. S. Bennett, of Evansville; J. W. Lindecr and Major George W. Steele, of Marion: exSpeaker Savre, of Wabash; Judge Hadlev, ex-Senator Campbell and J. B. Homan of Panville, Then there wefo tho dozens of local Republicans to add life and interest to the gathering. This was the scene of the afternoon, and it became more lively as later trains brought additions to swell the crowd. As evening approached tho interest turned more strictly to the meeting of the committee, although it was well understood what its actiou would be in regard to chairman. In the meantime Mr. Huston was busy in Room 4, talking with callers, and in the intervals putting tho finishing touches to the report he would niako to the committee. WHAT XIKFUIILXCAN3 SAY. Fullest Confidence In the Administration Kxpremed by Committeemen and Others. The members of the committee expressed the fullest confidence iu tho outcome of tho next campaign. "There have beeu few appointments in our district," said William Bunyan, of Noble count, and committeeman for tho Twelfth dintrict. "I mean, of course, to offices that aro not purely local. Fort Wayne has received a couple of good appointments, and Columbia City got one. That is about all in tho district, so far. Republicans in tho Twelfth district have tho iullest confidence in tho administration. I do not think the pressure for ofiice in that corner of tho Stale is as great as iu somo localities, and we will not havo many disappointed people. It is expected, when tho administiatiou gets ready, that our district will havo a fair share. Those among us who desiro offico show a disposition to wait the time of tho administration. The feel-

ing among Republicans generally-is good. They aro a cheerful set up my way. The last Legislature that is. the Democratic majoritywill furnish us sufficient material "for the next campaign, and I believe it will bo a successful one. and bo

fought, so far as Republicans are concerned, on State issues. T tion was particular le school-book legjslav wretched, and will do muca damage to the cause of education. Much of the injury dono will be irrcparauie. "I am not fully posted' said Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, ''on tho feeling over the district, but I believe it to bo good. In my county there's nothing the matter with any Kepnblicans. I believe in the comine State campaign we are point; to beat the Democracy. Perhaps the wish is father to the thought, but I certainly feel that way. The issues will be purely on State questions, but those matters have not as yet beeu talked about by tho committee " "i live in Holman's district," said M. R. Sulzer, of Madison, "and it is coming our way. In 1S32 tho district gave Hofman about 3..VX) majority. It is now down to 738. Tho local appointments have not been unsatisfactory. While everybody could not be pleased, I will say I have never seen more general satisfaction. There was a great tight for the collectorship. Major Cravens's appointment is a cood one. Tho opposing candidates and their friends aro not sore, but are ready to do service for the party. Major Cravens has about fifty counties in his revenno district, and a few more than lifty appointments to make. He is trying to appoint the most deserving men, and if he makes any mistake it will not be his fault. Tho largest number of applicants are from Marion and Pearborn counties. I find hero what 1 regard as a good indication a largo attendance of Republicans, the appointed and the disappointed, and all of them are in a good humor." "Everybody," said L. W. Roycc, of Warsaw "is pleased with Harrison's administration. While there is not much said about politics, there seems to bo no disgruntled elements. Every Republican stands by the faith, and there is no weakening. Tho Democrats do not appear to be particularly well pleased with tho situation. They certainly aro not hopeful. Both parties in our district, however, are quiet." "I shall go back to my people to-night," said T. II. Adams, of Vincennes. "with the best news I have had for some time when I tell them of Mr. Michener's election. He was tho unanimous choice of the committee. After all, there are only two unequaled organizers in tho Republican party that could have been put into the position just at this time, and they are J. N. Huston and Mr. Michener. If the Democrats bad as much good, solid material they would have a better chauce for success. The Democrats down our way have been looking forward with a good deal of expectation to this meeting to-night, and 1 know our action will bea disappointment to them. The effect will be simply to strengthen our forces and make the vote next year doubly strong." There will not be any trouble." said L. D. Stubbs. of Kichraond, "with the people in my city, for the party there is in the best of condition. Our county is all alive to Republican interests and the action WO have taken here to-night will bo received with satisfaction everywhere. I can remember no time when the party was better organized than now. Our national success in 1888 did much tobringthis about, but the present condition of State issues has dono equally as much. As to Mr: Michener, I can speak tho most hearty concurrence in the choice on behalf of the people of Richmond and vicinity." John H. Burfortl, ot Crawfordsville. had a few words to say in behalf of Mr. Michener. "No other man could have suited me as well," he remarked, "as he. He is a thorough Republican, a man of principle, and. hkewiso, of influence. He won't lack for friends anywhere, and I know Montgomery county will toe tho mark in his support." E. D. Crumpacker, of Valparaiso, said: "There is only ono word that I can think of to express the way people feel in tho Tenth district in regard to the political situation, and that is contentment. Everybody is happy, and nobody complains about anything. We have had unlimited confidence in tho State committee under Mr. Huston, and. of course, wo are sorry to seo him leave. But in Mr. Michener I do not think we will find a less capable chairman. 1 have received letters from people in my district urging me to support him and I did. We could not havo made a better choice." J. A. Swoveland. of Tipton, said: "Republicanism ia the Ninth district is above par. We are united and harmonious, and with those two factors wo are perfectly happy politically. I know that my people will have only tho highest praiso for Mr. Michener, and I feel that I have only fulfilled their desires when I voted for him for chairman." Two Good Senators. Senator Shockney, of Randolph, and Senator Hays, of Putnam and Hendricks" two of the clearest-headed and most conscientious Republican members of tho last General Assembly, were in the city yesterday, lookers-on upon the State central committee. "Mr. Hays and I are here, you see," said Mr. Shockney. "I feel sorry for him in his Democratic county of Putnam. We can send him sixteen hundred from Randolph and have a thousand left. You may say you found us in Huston's room; that wo are not asking anything for ourselves or anybody else, and that neither we nor any of our friends are kicking." WORK OF THE C03I3IITTEE. It Is Reorganized with Excellent Men at Its Head. The scenes in and about the New Denison lobby last evening reminded one of the busy nights of the last campaign, when politics was tho only thing that received consideration. Among all a great deal of interest was manifested in the reorganization of tho committee, and ono needed only to mingle with the assembled Republicans to be convinced of the utter absence of any factional disturbances Tho committee was called to order in Parlor 4 by Mr. Huston, promptly at 8 o'clock, and the business of tho evening at once begun, with T. H. Adams, of Vincennes, acting as secretary, John I. Dille being absent. At the beginning of the session the resignations of Secretary Dille and Treasurer William Wallace were accepted, and. on motion of D. M. Ransdell, the election to fill tho ofiicesof vice-chairman and treasurer occurred. John H. Burford nominated Marcus R. Sulzer, of Madison, for the first olhce and his election was unanimous, and, on motion of E. D. Crumpacker, Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, was unanimously elected treasurer. The auditing committee, previously appointed for the inspection or Mr. Huston's accounts, reported them as perfectly satisfactory and favorable for tho future work of tho committee, with a burplus in the treasury. Tho committee then went into an election of a chairman, Mr. Huston's resignation having been presented. Mr. Ransdell arose and moved that the resignation be accepted, but desired to add that in the four years Mr. Huston occupied the chairmanship he brought to it a npo experience, good executive ability and an energy rarelv displayed. His cflorts were crowned with success, aud it is especially to bo regretted that it is necessary to accept his withdrawal. Mr. Burford, of tho Eighth district, ex?ressed his sineerest regret that Mr. Huson had found it necessary to withdraw from the head of the committee, but he wished to assure tho committee that his long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Huston was evidence that that gentleman would still be as active and energetic for his party in Indiana. Mr. Stubbs, of the Sixth district, declared that he, too, desired to add his testimonial to the great worth of Mr. Huston to the party in Indiana; that his executive ability and political management had rarely been excelled, and moved that fitting resolutians bo prepared and adopted, which was unanimously acquiesced in. Mr. Batcheler. of the Third district, said that though he had been a member of tho committee a short time, yet he felt like saying that since he had been a member tho Republican party had never had a more able and effective organizer: that Mr. Huston had taken the chairmanship unselfishly, sacrificing his business, spending his money and endahgering his health for the success of the grand old party in the Hoosier State. All these things he had done, bringing about wonderful successes, and thus showing his wonderful zeal and exceptional generosity of spirit. Mr. Swoveland, of the Ninth district, said he know of no person who could find fault with Mr. nuston. Mr. Huston's

work will live after hira. I know of no Republican." ho added, "but who feels proud of him, and no Democrat but fears him as a political antagonist." " Mr. Royse, Mr. Adams, Mr. Crumpacker. Mr. Irwin, and, in fact, all the committee expressed their appreciation of Mr. Huston's unselfish work in the highest terms. The committee then adopted the following resolutions: Whereas. Hon. J. N. Huston having tendered his resignation as chairman of tbe Indiana Kepublicau etate central committee, and this committee having accepted of the same; therefore, belt Kesolvcd, that in so doinp. we deiro to aa our unanimous attestation to the great energy, Zeal and unselfish devotion he displayed throughout tho entire campaign or 1 83t. Resolved, That wo deeply regret tho necessity of his withdrawal from the head of this committee, but desire to assure him at the same time that we hold for him the 6iuceret admiration, and the profoundest respect and esteem; and that by the careful management aud skillful ability he displayed, brought preat distinction to himself and credit to the State central committee, Resolred, That we hereby Join in a unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. Ituston for his uulforni kindness aud courtesy to this committee on each and every occasion during the long and arduous labors of the late campaign: Resolved. That we feel that he faithfully, honestly and conscientiously discharged the duties that devolved uion him. and take this occasion to express our grateful remembrance or his service. Tho resolutions were unananimonsly adopted.afterwhichMr.Hustonreplied.witii much feeling, that he would be less, indeed, than human if he wero not touched at the kind acknowledgements of the members of tho committee, but he desired to insist that, though he might have done his 6baro of the labor, yet the committee itself deserved full credit for tho great work that had been so well done. Ho believed, as a Republican, that the opportunity was now before the party, and that success was ahead. He said tho committee had dealt fairly and honestly with all with whom it had dealings, lie would work for the party, and did not need to hold an official position to light Democracy, and, whether he was con nected with tho organization or not, oo would always be found in tho front rankV Ho had grown attached to every member of tho committee, and regretted the necessity of withdrawing from their association. On motion of Mr. Crumpacker, the committee proceeded to the election of a lrmaueut chairman. J. I. Irwin placed in nomination the name of Lewis T. Michener, Attorney-general of Indiana, which was seconded by tho entiro committee, both individually and collectively. His election was unanimous. During the meeting of the committee Mr. Michener had beeu spending the evening in Governor Hovey's room. A committee, consisting of D. M. Ransdell, William Bunyan aud Sidney Cantwell, was appointed to escort him into the presence of the committee. He was received with cheers on his coming into the room, the enthusiasm showing more cttectively than words could do the popularity of the new chairman. In response to a formal recognition from the chairman of the evening Mr. Michener said: I am very jrratcful for the honoryou have done me in electing me to the chairmanship of this committee. I trust your confidence iu me will prove to have been well founded. In accepting the place, I -wish to state that, so lonsc as 1 am your chairman, I will not, directly or indirectly, be a candidate for any oflice. I will not take part in nominating candidutcs for oflice of any character, for any other course on my part would be little le!s than treason to the parts. I hold the Republican party above men. I iuvite and wiU welcome the advice and assistance of every good Republican. Elections arcnotwon by State committees or their ofllcers. but by the united and intelligent effort of the rank aud tile of the party. Therefore, not only of you, but nlso cf the gallant yeoman of tho party, I earnestly ask for belp aud co-operation. Fresh from the glorious victory of lfcen.the Indiana Republicans will press ardently on to the fight of WJ0 and will win it. 1 believe. Unfaltering confidence in the administration of President Harrison, sincero devotion to the principles of tho Republican party, and undying opposition to the Democratic party will prompt every Indiana Republican to do all in his power for success, and that means victory in 1890 beyond question. The office of secretary was the last one to bo filled, and tho only one, in which were rival candidates. J. I. Irwin nominated W. R. McClellan, of Danville, and J. A. Swoveland named F. N. Miilikan, of New Castle. But one ballot was taken, resulting in the election of Mr. Miilikan. Tho committee then took up other business, almost all of which was of a private character. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The Republican State central committee In session assembled at Indiaiiapcjis July It), 189, take this opportunity to express its unqualified indorsement of the administration of Renjamiu Harrison, President of the United States; Resolved, That ro regard "President Harrison as a safe, wise and earnest executive, who will bring to the wholo people an administration of public affairs that will reflect unquestioned credit to the great party which he represents and at the same time add honor and distinction to the Nation. T. II.ADm, J. II. Rt'BFOUD, h. W, Royse. The committeo then adjourned. Tersonnel of the Newly Elected, Mr. Michener was kept busy as Ion gas he tarried in the hotel, after the adjournment of tho committee, receiving the congratulations of his many friends. "This is a position," he said to a Journal reporter, "which I havo not sought at all. It was given to me unasked, and for that reason T feel the responsibility all the more. I certainly shall try to hold up my part-of the work in tho best possible manner. I realize that I am succeeding a man who has borne the reputation of being a fearless party leader. Ho has been fully competent for the onerous duties of the chairmanship. But all that can be asked of me is that I do my best. 1 am determined, at least, to try, and it will be for the people to decide in the future as to my success." Mr. Michener's character as a man and loyalty as a Republican aer well known throughout the Mate. No other man, in all probability, could have been chosen who possesses more friends. Marcus R. Sulzer, vice-chairman, is a well-known Republican in Jefierson county, and has been identified more or less with the interests of the party for the past ten years. He is probably the only man in Indiana who has held a State appointment before his majority. At the ago of eighteen, Mr. Sulzer was appointed by Governor Williams as the Ohio river commissioner, but was afterward removed by Lieutenantgovernor Gray, after the death of Mr. Williams. Under the administration of Governor Porter, however,, he was again given the appointment, which position he still holds. Ho has filled the position of city attorney at Madison with success, and is now prosecuting attorney for his judicial district. F.N Miilikan. of Now Castle, the secretary of the committee, has for a number of years been identified with tho banking interests of that place, and is known in business circles as a shrewd and careful disciplinarian. His political ideas are soundly Republican, and have never swerved under the severest tests. Eight years ago his superior business qualities secured for him the election as treasurer of his county, which place he filled to the complete satisfaction of all. He has served on the Henry county committee, as well as tho State central committee. Joseph I. Irwin, the treasurer of the committee, is a resident of Columbus. He has been a life-long Republican. His business qualifications have led to his being chosen to fill places of prominence and responsibility. He has held several positions of trust and responsibility in educational institutions. .. wSHurled In Lime. While workmen were digging in tho rear of the Franklin Insurance building, on East Market street, yesterday morning, they discovered the skeleton of an infant which had been buried in a wooden box. The box had originally been filled with lime, which had partially decomposed the bones.
