Simmered down, the light now seams to be a clear out Htrnggle between Fairbanks, MoKeen and Wallace, the latter figuring in the role of a compromise possibility. The most oonapionons of the “dark horses’ ’ are Frank Posey, lawyer and ex-gubernatorial aspirant, who to said to carry around the promisee of .Senator* Boeemau and Collett; Federal Judge Baker, who to recognised to possess in dignity, learning and statesmanship the best qualifications at all, and Judge SL & Taylor at Fast Warns who, while not an aotire candidate, ha* many friends. Tim Wallace headquarters were opened in full blast last week with John OL Wingate of Wingate, John Donnell, county chairman at Montgwaery eosutoy, Repreaentattre B. T. HeOwe and Charles William** of OawfardsriU* in ehergh. These men are UQ politician* of wide acquaintance and understand the science of managing a political campaign.

Allen, Nicholas Filb&ok, George 0. Dickerson, Robert It. Cfttlln and William Dcwsey of Terre Haute; Frank Griffin mod Scott Carpenter of Brand and ox-Oongressman George Fasts. They all professed great confidence in the outlook and indorsed the interpretation placed on the situation by “Bob’* Oatiia, the experienced politician who said: "Riley knows how to manage a railroad pretty well and I guess he hae managed hto senatorial boom all right." ♦ ♦♦ It has cost McKean a good deal es rime and money to carry on hto boom, and hto candidacy will at least hare toe beneficent effect of haring placed seme of (he medium in circulation. Fairbanks has sot opened any regular headquarters and the MeXjton people kapatn hto action in that mgard to a “riinginess.’* Mr. Fairbanks ha* nat sewn been seen tn the lobby of the hotel fur aorne time until Saturday night, but hto lieutenants, among them Senator Wtohard, Newton Banding, Joe Sealing and Senator New of thto city, ham been hard at work in hto behalf, the teat named to a son of General Jehu a Mew, ez-comul to London, who to eu ardent Mo&eea man. While General New’s influence is great the Fakrtomfc* men find gratification in the fact that the son has the vote. ♦ ♦♦ AI Wtohard, who is Patobaekar’Mash Hanna, wee asked by the writer this week to review the ritauttion. “Dertag the tost 10 days we hare been waking steady gains." he said, "while toe MoKeen people have been steadily toeing. The withdrawal at Mr. Brownlee means eight vote* •» ns. Let me shspr you the names erf a few at da* mscibsw ad the assembly who am act only goto* %e vote ter Mb.

"I have not, for instance, mentioned any candidate for speaker,** I did not wish to embarrass them. Du you think it possible to beat such men s* thoaef** ha added, with a chuckle of euuUsftkm. ttb One of the responsible managers of Me Mesa was asked the same question relative to the situation, and he said; "If you want to form an impression of ■ McJCean’a strength let me give you an Men ee to the Sdtod of men who are working tor him. Borne of these have not been aide to oome to this city, but they have been a moral strength in the communities where they reside. ” And with thto the boomer begun ran■lug over a list of names, giving porioMea addresses at the same time, at too rapid a olip for me to eadeavor to transcribe them. They wears readily recognised a* men of great "strength In the tommunltie* where they reside," as h at had asserted, and would make ft formidable army iu the cause of any man. I H*ve noticed, however, but a small potf* tit* at thees friends on the scene thus tor, and if it to possible that they are nil re enfcheriaatically for McKee* it to eesMtlal to hto sauces* that they buokie en thair armor right away. After naa’hsg a hundred or more men'of influence th* boomer closed with the remark that •'tome are *nly a small fraction of t«i frtotiris “ ♦ ♦♦ It to something slngulwr if the ear* peeatio* attorney, Fairbanks, has tho ritoeh that bis workers and friends etoiaa tor Mm that they should be urging aa •ariy easterns. Their stook argumeat to tha* if the caucus to held early th* members of the legislature will then ha relieved of the strain pul upon them by th* frieade of other candidates, just ae though Fairbanks’ friends wars not firing Them any trouble. Bui the crowd behind "Long Charlie" must not forget that Mr. McKees woo at one tins* la a position to grant a half doom favors to farmers and laboring men to one of Mr. Fairbanks. McKean undoubtedly hae the railroad men with him because he rise always kind to those in his employ and ha* settled many labor troubles, it to said, for the miner* in thto state, thereby making log many friends. A railroad man mid th* other day that for SO yean, while MoKeon was president of the Vondalia, it was a Ktnnding order to all conductors to pass any man holding a card from a labor union. The railroad people aro circulating this fact among tho traded unions of the state, and that, with kind worth, of the miner*, to making him friends in quarters that the corporation attorney cannot touch. And then there are some morn bom of the general assembly now counted to the Fairbanks column who will not be there when they hear from their labor constituent*, and they will hear from them. History will be made rapidly in Lafftaaapolto during the coming weak. The legislature meets tomorrow and (to* 4Mo*s for principal officer* of each bourn win probably be held tonight Pettit of Wabash will be elected sp««hw, although Nicholson (of Nicholson Mil fume) still claim* to be in the moe. Th* indication* are that the office* at th* frame will take hold after tomorrow, when the usual appropriations bill wiR t* introduced and both houeee wifi adjourn until Monday. On Monday Governor Matthew* will call at the Dentho Boose far Governor-olect Mount mad the two will be driven nu a oturiage to the etotrihouee, where the iimugurattoa eerenaonk* will take place in the oorridors under festoons of bunting. BLrupto ceremonies will be observed, th* oath being administered in the presence at members of the house and senate by Chief Justice Jordan, Governor Mat(tews’ message will probably be read on Friday and the presiding officer of each house will atmonnen hi# .committees on Monday. Neat week Governor Matthews and hto family will bid farewell for a time to Indiana and take up their residence in sunny California. The rental lot a pretty cottage not far from Los Angeles has been secured and there the family will reside until the governor can got possession of hto Clinton county farm on May 1. It is now under lease, and the lessee to occupying the family mansion. It to expected that the trip to Cali fomia will be of great benefit in restoring the health of Mrs. Matthews. Upon hto return the governor will again take up stock farming on an extensive scale "The trouble with all farming," said the governor yesterday, "is that it has ■track hard pan, and very hard pan at that.*' This condition is greatly deplored by the governor,' not. because be to personally in u -fl o l the revenues to be derived from fuming, but because in his exalted political station he has still kept deep in his heart au abiding sympathy for the farmer. ♦ ❖4 There to still a little talk that the minority of the assembly may indors* Mr. Matthews for senator, but he is doing all in hto cower to discourage it. "Whllo the honor is one to be approbated,” be said, "it would have no meaning other than as a token of regard if thrown to me. On the other hand, the complimentary vote, if given to Senator Voorheee at thto time, would mean a complete indorsement of his SO long years of valuable official life." ♦♦♦ , One of the meritorious measures that will oome before the legislature will be a bill to prevent extravagant and fraudulent expenditures by township trustees in the purchase of school supplies. In some instances trustees have been known to pay as high as f 100 for u fountain pen and a similar amount for an ordinary barrel filled with water, tire return being made under the guise erf “school supplies.” Th* frond to apparently one againet not only public but the legitimate dealers in school furnishings and should be rectified. la k Xxnrww.
