A DIG AT HARRISON

Is Taken Pretty Generally Over the State. A Mighty Close Shave in His Own Home. The Probability That He Is Beaten There. BOODLE USED VERY FREELY Civil Service Rules Violated Most Contemptuously By Federal Office-Holders in All Sections of the State. The Administration Defeated in Many Districts. A Rampant Anti-Harrison Man Indorsed for Committeeman In tho Twelfth District The Tenth District Also Dusts tho President's Trousers Col. Conger's Glass "Workers!, Wearing Illainc Badges, Capture the Convention in Madison Hot Times All Over the Stato Several Contests in Marion County Some Incidents of the Struggle. Tho unpopularity of the Harrison administration in Marion county was fully demonstrated at Saturday night's primaries to elect delegates to the district convention which will bo held Jan. 21 for tho selection of a state central committeeman. AlthougH the game was email, the contest was one of the bitterest and most hotly contested in the history of republican primaries in the city. FIRST BLOOD FOR BLAINE. The Ilnrrlaon Crowd Paraljiad y Seren Hundred Itiaine Madge. Anderson," Jan. 9. Special. Harrison's friends were treated to a genuine eurpriso today at the little republican convention held here for the purpose of selecting delegates to the district convention which meets in Indianapolis Jan. 21 to select a 6tato committeeman. Anderson j the home of Col. W. T. Durbin, who ig the bosom friend of President Harrison. Durbin is tho present state committeeman from this district and he wants to be re-elected to that position. There are lots of republicans in this county who are not for Harrison, consequently are not in favor of Durbin's re-election. For the past few weeks they have quietly been organizing to knock out the Harrison crowd, and while they didn't quite do it today they divided honors with them. The hand of the ubiquitous Col. Conger of Ohio was seen in the movement here this afternoon. Yesterday he went to Elwood, in this county, ostensibly for the purpose of attending a plate-glass meeting at that place. While there he took the pains to organize a delegation of 250 young men of that place and under the leadership of Patrick T. O'Brien, a prominent Blaine man of that place, thev came to Anderson in a body, each man wearing a Blaine badce on his coat. The arrival of the delegation paralyzed the Harrison crowd and the result was that the anti-Harrison gang not only compelled a recognition of Blame in the resolutions but compelled the Harrison men to divide the delegates to the district convention with them. This renders the election of Durbin uncertain and makes the election of an anti-Harrison man possible. Tho friends of the adniiniatration are surprised aud filled with dis-riay over the strength of the antiadministration men. A VERY TAMS AFFAIR. Putnam County Republicans Will TrT Again In Another Week. Greexcastle, Jan. 9. Special. The republicans of this county announced through the papers a big mass meeting to be held here today for the purpose of selecting a chairman of the central committee, and delegates to the various Conventions. At 11 o'clock there was a call of townships, and the attendance was eo slim that it was decided to adjourn to 1 o'clock in order to drum up a larger attendance. Those present wore mainly officeholders and offkeseekers administration, state and city, postmasters and those connected with that department, revenue officials, city officials, the mayor and several who would like to be mayor, the city attorney, treasurer, clerk, councilmen, marshal, some of the police board and police officers. The proceedings of this convention were decidedly tame as compared with the old ones formerly held here, when the court room would not hold the crowd and the performers made lots of fun for democrats. None of the delegates today displayed any of the old time vigor as formerly at such meetings, when such men represented the party as the Hon. D. K. Williamson, George J. Langsdale, J. F. Darn all, Senator S. F. Lockridge, Thomas Hanna and Scotfield. When a candidate for a county office was placed in nomination it was dona by Col, Bill Koberts, who would use Bob Ingersoll'a celebrated speech made on one occasion to the members of the grand army. At one time the candidate named was a man who had got drunk, let his wife fall in the fire and burn to death. Those were the times when it tried men's souls to be a republican in Putnam county. In the afternoon the attendance was very limited, and after the appointing of some committeemen the meeting adjourned to finish next Saturday. All for Blaine. Valparaiso, Jan. 0. Special. Republican conventions were held at every county seat in tho Tenth congressional district today. Delegates were selected to attend the district convention called to meet at Logansport Jan. 21. In the preliminary skirmish an unusually lively interest was manifested owing to the eharpltr anUtronistio Blaine and Harrison

sentiments that prevail all over the 6tate. In this. Porter county; the delegation is unqualifiedly for Blaine with no second choice. An interesting contest is now in progress between the Blaine and adminis tration forcee for tho control of the party machinery in tlm district.

Chairman John Morris, jr., lost entire control of the meeting and every man was shouting hoarsely at once. Hanna won by 107 majority. He announced after Iiis nomination that he was not for Harrison for president A Slim Gathering. Nobles ville, Jac. 0. Special. Tho republicans of Hamilton county met in convention in this city to-day to select delegates to the district convention to be held at Lafavette Jan. IS. Although this county has been a stronghold of republicanism for years gone by, yet the meeting to day clearly demonstrated that the g. o. p. is fast losing foothold. The convention was not only slimly attended but there was scarcely any busines of importance transacted, as was expected. It shot wide of the mark from being a harmonious gathering. Thirty-two delegates were selected. Australian bjritrm Tabooed.' Bedford, Jan. 9. fecial, The republicans met in mass convention here today. Harrison, with all his Woods and Dudley attachments, was indorsed, and they resolved by 11 means in their power to secure his renomination. Delegates to the various conventions were selected, and Will H. Martin made chairman of the county committee. Several speeches were made advocating the nomination of the county ticket in an honoßt, fair, upright manner, but tho amendment was offered by a farmer to hold the primary election under the Australian system. They promptly voted the amendment down. Hnrrlnon Routed In Vendrburgr. Evaxsville, Jan. 9. Ppecial.l There were some lively times here in republican circles tonight. At the primaries the Harrison supporters attempted to retain their control of the county central committee, but in this they failed. The Blaine men were wide awake and turned out in force, capturing four of the 6ix wards and the control of the new committee. A chairman will be s&iected t -o is in sympathy with tho iilaii & movement that has become so deeply seated here. Some of tho meetings lasted til! a lato hour. M'KINLEY INAUGURATED. Ohio's Xcw Governor Takes the Oath of Ofiice. Columbus, 0., Jan. 11. Not in many years bas inauguration day brought finer weather than that which favored Govern or McKinley today.

TO REPEAL RECIPROCITY.

A RESOLUTION IS INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Brsckinrldce Thinks the Retaliatory Clans of tli MeKlnlcf Aet I Cncuitlla. tlonnl and Introduces a Kolatlon for lt i:pl He Glret Some Good ßeasoas fer Its Consideration. Washixcton, Jan. 11. The republican principle of reciprocity as embraced in the McKinley act and practiced by the present administiation was assailed for the fir3t time by the democrats this eeaion in a resolution which Pepresentatiye Breckinridge (Ky.) asked unanimous consent to offer in the house today. This resolu tion, which is thet eubject of great discus cion tonight, nnd the introduction oi which wis objected to by Mr. Burrows ol the republican 6;de, recites the letters written by the secretary of state, by the direction of the preeident to the diplomatic representatives of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Columbia, Honduras and other nations, calling attention to the reciprocity section of the McKinley act and stating that the president lecms the duties imposed by thee countries to be reciprocally unequal and unreasonable, and that unleps on or before March 15 next some satisfactory commerdd arrangement is entered into, the president will issue a proclamation s'ispendi.ig the provisions of the pection. and further recites that such action by tho president would be uhconstituional, onerous r.nd unjust, and instructs the committee on ways and means to report before Feb. 25 a bill repealing the third section of the McKinley act. The president is also authorized, without further legislation, to declare the ports of the T'nited States frea and open to all tho products of any nation of tho American hemisphere upon which no export duties are imposed, bo long as euch nation shall admit to its ports free of all national, municipal or other taxes, flour, cornmeal and other breadstuti, preserved meats, fish, vegetables andfruit, cottonseed oil, rice, lumber, agricultural implements, etc, or eucn other products as may be acreed upon. "I believe," said Mr. Breckinridge to an Associated Press reporter, "that the third section of the McKinley act is unconstitutional in conferring upon the president the power to imposo taxes without congressional action. I alba believe that the retaliation allowed in that act is not only unwise as regards our relations, but is really burdensome to our citizens, for it imposes duties .which they have to pay. And where this retaliatory measure is adopted... on) v as to certain cations it makes an unjust discrimination which may also not only be arbitrary but may not be free from corruption. I therefore am anxious to have that clause of the McKinley act repealed, and while it may not be possible to do it, I desire to call the attention of the country to this measure and thought it might be done by connecting this movement in the houpe with the letter which Mr. Blaine had, written and which had been published' all over the country. "And yet." continued Mr. Breckinridge, "being in favor of the freest possible trade consistent with the raising of the needed revenues of the government, I appended to the resolutions instructing the committee on ways and means to report a bill repealing the third section of the McKinley act, an instruction to report in lieu of it a true reciprocity provision by which the president is given the power, which undoubtedly is constitutional, to open the porta of America to the producta of euch countries as do make true reciprocal arrangements with us. I do not entirely agree with some of the leading democratic statesmen a to reciprocity treaties and;arrangement". There are great objec tions to them but 1 think them uettertnan prohibitory taritlV. And if we can not enact such revenue laws as I desire, I desire that reciprocal arrangements be made, as far as they can be, with any or all nations, believing that every movement in favor of freer trade will ser7eas an educational process, accustoming the country to better views and practices in our commercial relations. "I was further led to offer this resolution just at this particular moment because the committee on ways and means has not yet had time to become entirely organized and get to work on the various propositions which have been submitted to it, and by selecting at this particular juncture this particular provision of the McKinley act, 1 might concentrate the attention of tha country upon it separated from the other; . provisions of that act I selected as the reciprocity provision to be reported by the ways and means committee one that had received the ßanctioa of a large number, if not, indeed, cf all the democratic senators in the Fifty-first congress. And w hile there may be a difference of opinion in our party as to the extent to which it is wise to go, there is no difference among us that the provision adopted in the McKinley bill ought to be repealed, and that some liberal measure could well be enacted in lieu of it" Mr. Breckinridge's resolution appear! to be well received by the majority of the ways and means committee. "I think very favorably of the proposition of Mr. Breckinridge," eaid Chairman Springer. "Oi course I cannot say what the committee may decide to do in the matter. 1 am in favor of reciprocity but whether I would be willing to go to the extent provided in the aiticle mentioned in the resolution I cannot say. That question, however, is a mere matter of detail, and does not affect the vital principle embodied in Mr. Breckinridge's resolutions." FOUR KILLED, Fivo Boilers in a Chicago Manufactory Klplode. Chicago, Jan. 8. Five boilers exploded tonight in the Warren Springer manufac turing building on Canal st, killing four men and injuring two others, one fatally. The dead are : ARTHUR HALL. A. I).
