POLITICIANS ALL HERE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION ONLY A DAY OFF. G. A. H. Shldeler Not a Candidate— Governor Taking No Hand in Preliminary Canvass. All the candidates for nomination by the Republican state convention for the state offices have arrived at the Denison Hotel and have opened their headquarters on the parlor floor. Yesterday porters of the hotel stretched canvass over the carpet in the broad hallways and posted cards over the doers of the fifty parlors that are the headquarters of the candidates. Down in the lobby anew method of directing friends of the candidates and delegates to the headquarters has been adopted. Instead of the confusing mass of big placards showing the rooms they occupy a large bulletin has beeh put up in a conspicuous place, giving the names of the candidates, the offices to which they are aspiring and the numbers of the rooms they have taken. Following is the list: Secretary of State—John C. Chaney, Rooms 47 and 48; C. F. Coffin, 21; Union B. Hunt, 26 and 27. Auditor of State—James R. Henry, 39; W. H. Hart, 42 and 43; D. E. Sherrick, A. Treasurer of State—D. H. Flynn, 17, 18 and 19; Leopold Levy, 4; W. H. Oren, Parlor D. Attorney General—W. L. Taylor, Parlor E, office floor. Superintendent of Public Instruction—J. W. Davidson. 73 and 74; F. L. Jones, 52; E. G. Machan, 2: P. P. Stultz, 78 and 80. Clerk of the Supreme Court—R. A. Brown, 24; A. M. Higgins, 49; Jesse W. Weik, 53 State Geologist—W. S. Blatchley, 23; E. M. C. Hobbs, 3. • Judges of the Supreme Court—Francis E. Baker. 41; H. S. Biggs. 20; James B. Black. 29; Alexander Dowling, 55; J. V. Hadley, 45 and 46; W. J. Henley, B; Oscar H. Montgomery. I; J. W. Rabb, C; H. B. Shively, 22. Judge H. B. Shively, of Wabash, candidate for the supreme judgship, has not arrived, as he is suffering with an acute attack of rheumatism in his left wrist, resulting from a wound received In the war. His brother. State Senator Charles E. Shively, of Richmond, is in charge of his headquarters. Judge Shively will be here for the convention. The headquarters of Capt. James R. Henry are In charge of Judge Daniel E. Beem and James Williams, of Spencer. Mr. Williams is the chairman of the Republican committee of his county. Thomas Hanna, of Indianapolis, candidate • for attorney general, had not opened his headquarters last night, but expects to do so to-day. All day yesterday there w’as a growing crowd at the hotel and last night the candidates were busy receiving friends who called to discuss the situation with them. SHIDELER NOT A CANDIDATE. The only surprising news that the candidates heard yesterday was that G. A. H. Shideler, of Marlon, a member of the last House of Representatives, was to be brought out as a candidate for secretary of state. Mr. Shideler arrived early in the day from Mackinac, where he has been with his family several days. Mr. Shideler said, when asked concerning the report, that he was not a candidate. “Some ten days or two weeks ago,” said he, “some of my friends urged me to become a candidate. I gave the subject some consideration and received a number of communications from friends in various parts of the State, urging that I announce myself as In the race. Without arriving at any decision, I made inquiries and learned what other candidates had done. When 1 came here to-day I found that if my name were used, it would disarrange the plans of the other candidates who did not regard me as in the race, and I have decided not to go before the convention asking for the nomination. Until a short time ago I regarded other men whose names were mentioned as candidates. If I had known sooner that they intended to withdraw, I would have made the canvas. I do not care to come in as a ‘dark horse.’ I appreciate the efforts that my friends have made and would not have been indifferent to the hign honor of a nomination, hut at this late day I do not think that I ought to take ary hand.” Mr. Shideler has been renominated for the Legislature and, in the event of his election, expects to be a candidate for speaker of the House of Representatives. Last night friends of Frank L. Littleton, of this city, who was in the Legislature two years ago with Mr. Shideler, and who has been renominated, said that Mr. Littleton would be a candidate for speaker. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks was one of the distinguished Republicans to visit the headquarters of the candidates at the hotel. Mi\ Fairbanks expressed pleasure at the activity exhibited about the headquarters so early and expressed the belief that it indicated a great convention was to be expected. ‘This is going to be one of the best conventions the Republicans have ever held,” said James S. Dodge, of Elkhart. “There seems to be a little flurry among the Republicans here, but it will not affect the delegates from the State and I anticipate a haur.cr.ious meeting.” Concerning the outlook, Mr. Dodge said that he regarded it as most flattering. No i effort will have to be made to get the farm- : era to vote the Republican ticket, as they have seen practical demonstrations of the belter times that were promised, in the way of higher prices and better things all round. Mr. uodge seems to think that the efforts will have to be put forth in the manufacturing centers, where there is some dissatisfaction from men whose salaries have not been advanced a great deal and who overlook the fact that thousands of idle men have been given employment. Other prominent Republicans here to attend the convention are J. Frank Hanly, James E. Watson, George F. McCulloch, L. H. Bundy and M. E. Forkner. All of those who had time to say a word, predicted a great convention and a successful campaign touowfng it. GOVERNOR TAKING NO HAND. Some of the papers, in their efforts to stir up trouble in the Republican party, have stated that Governor Mount is advocating the candidacy of certain candidates. This is not true, as the Governor said last night, when asked concerning the report: “If 1 were a private citizen,” said the Governor, "I might show some preference as between candidates, but as the Governor of the State I must not and cannot show any preference for any of the candidates. I regard all the candidates as my friends and expect to treat them as such. I want to manifest such a disposition that when the nominations are made 1 can go into the canvass and support whoever may be the choice of the convention. All of the nun mentioned for the nominations are good Republicans and good men. and I shall glauly work for the success of all the men who may be the choice of the convention.” Nominations are to be made by the 1,616 delegates to the convention for eleven offices. Contesting for the various. nominations are thirty-five candidates. The number of votes that will be necessary to a choice is 800. The following is a list of the candidates: Auditor of State—James R. Henry, Gosport: George W. Wilson. Fort Wayne: W. H. Hart. Frankfort; David E. Sherrick. Westfield. Treasurer of State William H. Oren, South Bend; Leopold Lfcvy, Huntington; David H. Flynn. Lafayette; Isaac Whiteside, Jeffersonville. Secretary of State—John C. Chaney, Sullivan; Charles F. Coffin, Indianapolis; Union Banner Hunt, Winchester. Attorney General—William L. Taylor, Indianapolis; Thomas Hanna, Indianapolis. Clerk Supreme Court—Robert A. Brown, Franklin; Jesse W. Weik, Greencastle; A. M. Higgins Terre Haute. Superintendent Public Instruction—J. W. Davidson. Evansville: P. P. Shultz. Bloomington; Frank L. Jones, Tipton; E. G. Machan. Lagrange. State Geologist— Willis S. Blatchley, Terre Haute; E. M. C. Hobbs. Salim. State Statistician-John B.

Chairman Hernly and members of the state central committee were busy yesterday and last night arranging the final details of the convention. William Essman, who is to be sergeant-at-arms, was authorized to appoint twenty deputies. A small detail of police will be requested to assist in keeping order. The hall will be open to the public at 2:30 o’clock In the afternoon, although the convention will not begin until an hour later. The party leaders were yesterday considering suggestions that were made concerning the platform. Many of the candidates and prominent Republicans who were on hand had views to express on this subject. The platform has not been written and what it is to contain will not be known until the committee on resolutions is selected by the district meetings to-morrow, and meets to prepare the platform. Convention Note*. Secretary Samuel H. Spooner, of the Republican state committee, attended the funeral of his aunt, Mrs. S. H. Spooner, at Lawrenceburg, yesterday. A number of prominent Democrats dropped in on the Republican gathering at the Denison Hotel last night, among them Acting Mayor "Dore” Johnson and John R. Wilson. The Democrats seemed surprised to see such an outpouring at such an early date. Yesterday a large force of men was busy preparing Tomlinson Hall for the convention. On the stage heavy scaffolding was put up so that the chairs may be arranged in tiers, each row back higher than the one in front of it. Another force was at work on the decorations. 11. is expected by the candidates that the delegates will begin arriving to-day, although the majority are not expected to arrive until to-morrow. The important event of the day will be the meeting of the state central committee with the advisory and executive committees in the. Century Club rooms at the Denison to-night. Friends of James R. Henry and W. H. Hart, two of the candidates for auditor of state, say that there is no personal unpleasantness between them in the canvass for the nomination. They say that the papers which have been charging that there was personal bitterness in the contest have simply done so to create trouble. A friend of Captain Hart said, last night, that the two candidates have been and continue to be personal friends. A STATE S. S. CONVENTION , 4 THE FIRST SESSION OF IT BEGINS AT BETHANY PARK. Addresses and Report—New Mission* ary Soeiety Among Women Formed at Acton. Yesterday was a quiet day at Bethany Park. It was the first day of the state Sunday school convention, and the attendance was not up to expectations, but larger crowds are expected to-day. The usual devotional exercises were conducted during the morning. Mrs. A. A. Buxton, of Kansas City, Mo., spoke at the morning meeting on “Primary Class Organizations,” which was followed by an address on ‘‘Bible Study” by Rev. J. L. Parsons. “Sunday School Types” was the subject of a brief address by Mr. A. A. Buxton, secretary of the Mission State Sunday School Association. He treated of the historical school under five types, the Hebrew, the early Christian, the Transition, the Reformation, the Reconstruction. It detailed the causes of the successes and failures of the past and pointed out tlje path along which future success must be reached. In the afternoon, under the subject of “Mechanism vs. Organism,” he elaborately argued from a scientific standpoint that the school was not a machine, but a living organism, bound by implacable laws, but endowed with all the functions of life, and that through these functions of nutrition, relation and reproduction it manifests its true, full life. The first session of the convention was held at 2 o’clock, at which the president delivered an address, followed by a report of the state evangelist and treasurer. The reports in substance are as follows: State conventions attended, 8; district conventions, 26; institutes, 84; schools reached, 131; attended 14 union conventions; organized 32 schools; organized 11 Christian Endeavor Societies; delivered 381 addresses, with 42 additions; organized 52 teachers’ meetings, 4 normal classes, and traveled 11,200 miles In the work. Total receipts, $1,126.35; standing indebtedness, $149; total assets. $281; cash on hand, $33. The directors expressed themselves as well satisfied with the report. The principal event of the evening was the address on “Childhood in the Thought, of To-day,” by A. J. Frank, of Lebanon. The expression of the subject implies that childhood may not have occupied the place in the thoughts of the people of yesterday that it occupies to-day. The marks of change are upon everything. The ideas of men change. Once physical vastness challenged the admiration, almost the homage of man. From the admiration of the physical man changed to the admiration of the intellectual. The cultivation of the intellectual reached the highest point among the ancient Greeks. Mr. Frank showed the estimate placed upon the child by the Romans. It was regarded as of value in proportion to the service it could render to the state. Close observers of passing events have noted that not until the close of the last century was childhood born in literature. Histories tell us that Rome might have continued as the mistress of the world if family purity had been sacredly regarded among them. Mr. Frank exhibited the teachings of Christ in relation to children and discussed extensively that which had resulted from them. His closing thought was the susceptibility of childhood to Impressions. The late arrivals registered at the hotel are: G. A. Downs, Connersville; Mrs. Annis Burk, J. D. Gould, Mrs. P. M. Dill, Indianapolis; E. S. Conner. Noblesville; N. A. Davey. Charleston; Mrs. V. A. Pollard, Kokomo; Oscar E Kelly. Roachdale; Mrs. M. A. Whistler, Miss Whistler. Evansville; Emma M. Choate. Newark, Del.; Henry A. Burtt, Irene Burtt, Jeffersonville; J. H. McNeill. Rushville; W. F. Foulke, M. W. Yocom, Sullivan. To-day the state Sunday school convention will be continued. The Assembly lecture will be delivered by Rev. D. R. Lucas, of Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Buxton wili talk, and In the evening a lecture on “Poetry and Life” is announced to be delivered by Scot Butler, president of Butler College. FORMED A NEW SOCIETY. Women's Home Missionary Association at Acton. There was a drowsiness in the atmosphere at Acton Park yesterday and many of the camper* became it* victim*, particu- ,

larly in the afternoon. They "owled” away the hours In hammocks and easy chairs while scarcely a sound disturbed the stillness. It was like a village In the South. Monday at camp meeting usually Is a day for resting up on accoutit of the activities of Sunday and the tenters seem to revel in the mere enjoyment of existence on that day more than any other day of the week. The only meeting held was that of the missionary organization of the ladies at the park. The election scheduled for the forenoon was postponed until later in the season. as it was thought beat to become thoroughly familiar with the duties of the Acton organization since such advisers as Miss Bancroft and Mrs. Dale were on the grounds. A council was held in the forenoon at the Missionary cottage and a better understanding of the work was arrived at. A stock of literature of the missionary organizations was also displayed. In the afternoon the officers, consisting of Mrs. H. A. Crossland, president: Mrs. Ida V. Steeg, vice president: Mrs. Floyd, corresponding secretary; Mrs. M. B. Thresher, recording secretary, and Mrs. V. William, treasurer, and the members of the Acton branch of missionary work, met In the Tabernacle to complete the work of the day. The first thing attended to was the naming of the organization, or as one of the ladles suggested, “a christening of the baby.” This occupied the better part of an hour, and the institution will be known tinder the name of the Woman's Home Missionary Association, in order that it may not conflict with the large Institution called the Woman’s Home Missionary Society. The Acton order is an independent local body composed of missionary women, who are in most cases, members of auxiliaries in Indianapolis or elsewhere. After this matter was disposed of a question social was held and queries relating to all phases of the work were freely asked and discussed. Miss Dole, of the Asheville Home, was present and gave an account of the work of that institution, and also spoke of the needs. The meeting was closed with an address by Miss Bancroft. delivered in her charming stvle. She spoke particularly of the Elmira Deaconesses’ work in London. She gave an interesting description of the home, the sisters, their dress and manner of living and of the work they do. In the evening the camp was treated to an entertainment, consisting of read.ngs in costumes from Shakspenre, and a number of humorous selections. The evening’s programme was under the management of W. R. Crawford, of Indianapols. assisted by Miss Zella Spence, child whistler. This is De Fauw University day and a good programme is promised.

HERESY IN SPIRITUALISM • * • MATERIALIZED SOIL AT SEANCE DISPUTED BY J. CLEGG WRIGHT. Trouble In the Chesterfield Camp That Threatens the Testimony of Inspired Mediums. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. I.—J. Clegg Wright, of London, who has been the principal lecturer at the Indiana Spiritualists* camp, will be relieved this week by Williard Hull, of Cleveland, and Mrs. India Hill, of St. Louis. Wright has created several sensations in the camp this year and wrought considerable bitterness among the rank and file. This will probably be his last appearance in Indiana. The discussion which he started a week ago about “dark” or “evil” spirits arose by accident. It seems that a spirit that “materialized” in a seance one night said it was miserable In the spirit land. When asked why, it replied because it had sinned in taking its life. Wright combated this and stated that the spirit land was no penitentiary or dungeon and that all spirits of the dead entered on an equality. This brought a great storm of disapproval, which was led by Major Bitters, of Rochester, and the feeling got up to a high pitch. In fact it is understood that such personal enmity was aroused that several people refuse to speak as they pass. 4; INDIANA OBITUARY. Prof. T. C. Vnn Xnys, Formerly of State University.

To the weary march and the dust and heat| He who had found life fair and sweet, Strong and sure leaped to endure When tl e signal came to play his port. (O my laddie boy!) One more blast o'er his resting place, (Laddie, O my laddie!) Who sprang with a call in the blazing hell. First in the maddened fight—and fell. Fell with the light upon nls face. (O my laddie boy!) * Let al! the sullen cannons roar, (Laddie, O my laddie!) Let all the mournful bugles call For the lad who charged at the head of all And fell In the rout with a ringing shout— Deathless now forevermore!
