HUGE WARD MEETINGS

ItEPt DLICAX mniAIUES LAST IGHT LARGEST EVER K.OWX. Aot a Contented Delegation Reported Ferd Winter to Preside Over County Convention To-Day. At 11 o'clock this morning: the Joint representaitive convention for Marion, and Shelby counties will meet In Maennerchor Hall and at 1 o'clock thU afternoon the Marion county convention will be had at the same place to choose Judges of the Superior Court and six members of the Legislature. In the first convention there will be 1W delegates and in the latter there will be 422. The primaries to select these j delegates were held In the different wards of the city last night and in the out townships ye3terdy afternoon. The attendance at the primaries was in keeping with the number of candidates that will be presented to the convention from which to select j tickets. The attendance, in fact, was un- j prccedented, and in every ward the rooms ! wherein the primaries were held were crowded to the doors. In many wards where there are large Democratic majorities Republican primaries have generally proven tame affairs and failed to attract crowd3. It has frequently been the case that not enough would attend a primary to fill out the quota of representation to which the- ward was entitled and it would be necessary to elect as delegates persons who did not attend the primary. The average attendance at the primaries last night was about five hundred. ,In some wards the number exceeded this. All of the Southside wards, and even those in the southwest, where Democrats have been as numerous as sands on the sea shore and Republicans as scarce a3 "hen teeth," had large attendances last night. In the First ward there were fully five hundred persons out; a like number attended the meetings In the Third and Fourth wards. In the latter ward the attendance was the largest ever known, and there was a lively Interest taken the selection of the delegates. There were no "scrimmages," not even in the Tenth ward. Such universal harmony as prevailed In every ward has probably never before been witnessed. It was especially significant of the unity of the party at this time when there is such intense interest in the contests for nominations. The conventions will be able to proceed immediately to business to-day, when called to order, and 'will not have to settle the rights of opposing factions to seats upon the floor.. Not a contest has come up from a single ward. In all the wards there were more or less of contests for the delegations, and It was this fact that brought out the large attendance. ' The friends cf the various candidates have been working for several days to get delegations favorable to their men, and the electioneering did not etop till the last ballot was cast at the ward primary. It was nearly 11 o'clock before all of the ballots were counted in some of the wards. Some of the wards instructed delegates to vote for candidates from the particular ward, giving the Instructions, but Instructions were generally fought against, the delegates preferring to go into the convention unhampered by binding instructions. The Second ward Instructed Its delegates to the county convention to vote for J. L. McMaster and Hez Daly for Judges of the Superior Court and the Third ward instructed its delegates to vote for Will Elliott for Judge of the Superior Court. The Eleventh ward gave Instructions for John McGregor for member of the Legislature. In the Twelfth ward a resolution was adopted Instructing for the three candidates from that ward. The following are the delegates: First Ward County A. li. liaker, David Gilliland, Charles Curtis, Gus Lash, Lewis Eike, Mason Jackson, Isaac Barfleld. William Abstom, George Karer. H. J. Marshall.

The Populist leaders again find themselves in trouble. A public meeting, at which S. J. Kent, secretary of the general executive board of the Carpenters' and Joiners' International Brotherhood, was to be the principal speaker, was announced to be held in Monument place, last night, at 3 o'clock. A few minutes before that hour a stand was placed close to the steps leading to the entrance of the monument, a skyrocket sent up, and "Kid" Ballard mounted the stand and announced that the meeting was opened. Hardly had he uttered the first sentence when he was interrupted by President Langsdale, of the 'Monument Commission, who told him that the meeting would not be allowed to take place on ground owned or controlled by the commission. The stand was then removed to the street, a few feet from the Morton statue, where Ballard introduced S. J. Kent, the principal speaker. During that gentleman's remarks a crowd of two hundred gathered, a part of whom encroached upon the monument grounds and obstructed the walk to the entrance. Although President Langsdale raised no objection to this, it is understood that he will file charges of trespass, this morning, against those that managed the meeting. Mr. Kent's remarks included a rebuke to the last Congress, which he said ought to be ashamed of its record. He sail that the hard times were caused by the high tariff, which he compared to the Chinese wall. He said that the present system of politics was rotten to the core, as was plainly evident from the investigations of the New York city police force and of other cities. RED RIBBONS FOR CATS. Pet Stock Association to Give a Show in November. The Indiana State Poultry Association, at its meeting, Thursday night, decided not to give any show this winter, but those who are fond of poultry and pets will not be disappointed. During the week beginning Nov. 12 the Indiana Pigeon and Pet Stock Association, which had charge of the exhibit at the State fair this week, will give an extensive exhibit. The display at the fair was a fine one, but the association promises to make the one in November much more elaborate. Many visitors at the fair noticed the big Angora cat belonging to Mr. Harry Tutewiler, of -this city, and the evidence of interest in cats was so plain that the association has decided to add an exhibit of cats at the coming rhow. Pussy has never entered into. a competition for red ribbons before in Indiana, and It is expected that the novelty will be a taking one. The ornamental poultry department, embracing pea fowls, pheasants and the like, will be a feature of this show, which is to be given at Tomllnson Hall the week after the chrysanthemum show. Ponies, monkeys, song birds, gaudy birds, bantams, cats, toy dogs and the like will go to make up the attractive exhibit. Entry privileges will be granted to almost everything from a white mouse up to a baby elephant. The ssoclation has promises of over two hundred entries. The only show of this kind recalled at present Is the one at the Crystal Palace, in London.

FAIR WEEK BUSINESS

LARGF.2LV IXCREASED PATRONAGE REPORTED RY RETAILERS. Wholesalers Do Not Find the Fair to He of Great Advantage to Them. Fair week was practically ended last night, and while It haa not proven a bonanza to all the merchants. It has served to bring largely Increased patronage to most of the retaU dealers. Tha effect of the fair week upon the business of the different merchants depends very much upon the class of goods they handle. To some of the merchants fair week always proves a disturber, and they are glad to see it over with so far as their business Is concerned. The dealers In small wares generally find a largely increased trada during the week, probably due to the fact that the purchasers can carry their purchases ho:?ie In their hands without inconvenience. The dealers in large wares find the reverse to be the case. The visitors generally do not purchasa such articles, and as a large number of the out-of-town merchants aal dealers are not at their homes It Is impossible for tha traveling salesmen to see them. Compared with the fair week of las: year this week has been an exceptionally good one to Indianapolis merchants, but they do not make their comparisons with last year's business, but that of the year before. This is because last year, at all times, waa an exceedingly bad year, falling way below normal In the volume of business. On the other hand, 1S32 was an exceptionally larg? business year, and a comparison of that year with tnis, just emerging from the panic, would not be just to the showing for this year. The opinion of the retail merchants generally is that the volume of business is rapidly on the Increase, and most of tham say that the fair week has been better than they anticipated. A trip through the wholesale district and inquiries among the wholesale merchants showed that fair week was generally not beneficial to them save in one particular. This particular 13 that the low rates generally brings large numbers of their customers to the city and enables the wholesale men to become personally acquainted with the men with whom they deal. This has been especially true of the present year, on account of the unusually low rates given by the railroads for the fair and "The Last Days of Pompeii." The out-of-town merchants take advantage of the low rates to visit the city and examine stocks In the wholesale houses. In some lines - of goods this results in increased purchases, while In other lines it does not. Some of the wholesale merchants say that they only keep open during the week to meet their old customers, and their stores are sort of reception houses for the time being. Most of the wholesale houses say that tha week cuts very materially into the orders received from their traveling men, and a great many of the houses call their traveling salesmen In during that t week, and they remain at the house and meet there such of their patrons as call. The proclamation of Mayor Denny asking all the business houses and manufacturing establisihmerats to close their places of business yesterday afternoon was not complied with, to any appreciable extent. All of the wholesale grocers closed their stores yesterday, but this was the only line of business that paid attention to the request. A business man said that they would not think of closing their places during the afternoon, becsuise their patrons expected thera to be open to accommodate them. One retail merchant expressed himself In unmistakable terms, lie said the idea of calling on the business men to clcs their places was preposterous, because the greater part of the visitors who came to the city came with the view to making purchases while here, taking advantage cf the low rates to get to this city, where they would find a larger as-' sortnvnt than In their own stores. "Suppose I closed my store," said this merchant. "I will venture the assertion that not 6 per cent, of my clerks would attend the fair. A much larger number of them would probably go to see the game of ball. There is nothing at the fair that will interest them, and they will not spend their time and money In seeing It. If the State board or city officials desire that the home people attend the fair let them provide attractions that will draw and arrange for them seeing it when they have the time. Let them pro-vide attractions at night and keep the fair open until a late hour. Then they will "have an attendance from the clerks and employe of the stores, and not till . then. The clerks are not going to squander an afternoon off by going to a Sta-te fair unless there is something: to attract them." The same sentiment was voiced by several merchants. The expressions of several merchants, wholesale and retaU, upon the business of the week are given below: M. O'Connor & Co. It was only an ordinary State fair week. As usuaT during that week tho sales from our men on the road were lighter than usual, but the house pales were much, increased. This Is due to the fact that the outside merchants have come to the city, .and the men upon the road are unable to see them, and while in the city they call at the store and leave their orders for such goods as they may need. Ward Brothers, wholesale druggistsLots of our customers have called upon us during the week, though the purchases were generally small. Our business in the house has been good, but that of the salesmen upon the road has been light, owing to their inability to see the men. Hollweg & Reese, wholesale china and queensware The week has been an unusually good one with us. This might be said of the last four weeks, which, we believe, have been up to any of the times before the recent panic. We have called most of our traveling men Into the house, and they have been here during the week meeting our patrons in the store. The week has been better for us than previous State fair weeks, and we have been kept pretty busy. The purchases are larger than usual, and our patrons seem to be stocking up ahead, something they have not done since along in 1S92. A great many of our patrons have purchased stock for Christmas trade, a thing they have not done at this early season since 1S92. The fair week is generally a good one for us, for the reason that goods are displayed to much greater advantage in our store than can be one by sample, and the patron sees a larger assortment. The low rates bringing the people to the cUy gives us an opportunity to display a larger assortment of wares to thorn. Last year was a bad year. There was the panic, first, to contend with, and then we had poor crops and low prices. This year the panic is about ended and the crops are good. Daggett & Co., wholesale confectioners The State fair is no advantage to our business. A good many of our patrons call upon us and we are glad to see them and show them through the house. We give them some candy to take home to the children, have a pleasant time with them and part with a handshake, both we and they having enjoyed the call. Our sales do not amount to much, however. The purchases are small and the increase of business at the house is more than counterbalanced by the loss of sales by the men upon the road on account of their inability to se patrons. Our trade, generally, falls off during fair week. R. S. McKee & Son, wholesale shoe dealers The week is no advantage to us in the way of trade. In fact, it is a disadvantage. Our sales do not come up to the average in that week. Fahidey & McCrea, wholesale milliners We have been busy all the week, and It compares very favorably with other weeks during the State fair. The advantage to us comes In the fact that we are able to display our goods to a better advantage to our patrons when they come to the house than we are through traveling salesmen. Indiana Cigar Company The fair week is always a bad one for us. A good many of our patrons drop Into the house to see us, but our sales are not large from this source. We are glad to see the fair over. Bowen-Merrill Company The week has been a good one with us. Our store has been pretty, well crowded. A great many of the sales, however, are small ones, and it takes a large number of them to amount to much. Lots of people drop Into the store and buy a cheap book or two. The sales of school supplies has been especially good. There has been a little stocking up by the merchants of the smaller places, but not a great deal. The sales compare well with the sales during the fair last year. Progress Clothing Store We have had a good week. Our sales run away ahead of those during fair week last year. They are fully M per cent, more than last year. The X sales have been largely of the finer goods.

Our sales of the average grade of goods have been light this week. We have also sold a large number of overcoats, which is something unusual for this time of year. The most of the sales have been to persons residing outside of the city. H. P. Wasson & Co.-Our trade this week has been better than usual and exceeded former fair weeks. The sales In the cloak and dress goods department led this week, as they generally do. Our store has been crowded during the most of the week and especially during the last, three days. The week has been very satisfactory to us. I believe our Friday trade during fair week is always the largest. The visitors to the fair come with an Idea of doing shopping while here. They generally go to the fair on Thursday and do their shopping on Friday. Eastman. Schleicher & Lee Our trade has not been large. The sales we have made have been generally small and are mostly to persons residing out of the city. The residents of the city generally stay away during the fair because they expect the store to be crowded. Large purchasers generally do not come during this week for the same reason. New York Store, Mr. Gay Our store has been crowded all week and our trade has been very large, in fact, the largest in the history of the store. This is due, of course, to the low rates on the railroads and our special effort to bring the people to our store after they got in the city. The silver statue is proving a very effective drawing card and we have advertised it extensively. On Thursday, thirty thousand people passed the statue. The trade is not confined to one or two departments, but is in all of them. Friday noon we fed 1,200 people at our lunch room. Model Clothing Company Our trade was much better than usual.
