Ho thinks that with a good organization the democrats have a good chance to win In the state, but he declares that he Is not Boeklng the responsibility of the chairmanship and that he would be satisfied with the selection of any good democrat qualified to All the place. It Is believed now that Fleming's friends will place him In nomination for chairman 'in spite of tbe protest of the lesders, who, do not favor, him because of his record In the legislature.

Fleming, however, la one of the moat aggressive young men In the par ty and It la conceded that he will give a good account of hlmnclf If he en ters tbe race in earnest. Many of the old timers are inclined to regard him kindly because of the service render ed the party by bis father, the late William Fleming, who was at one time treasurer of state. It Is under stood that (hla la ouo of tbe reasona why he Js favored by Samuel E. Morss. of this city, and James Mur cloek, of Lafayette.

Objectiona that are being raisod to Fleming ami "Stokes" Jackson, of Greenfield, the only avowed candidates, are taken aa an Indication of the feeling of the party workers. It Is Insisted by men who do not want Fleming for chairman that he waa not warm enough In bis support of the ticket In '00, while Jackson's opponents say that the Greenfield man was "too warm" for Dryan. Fleming belongs to the element of the party that was known In the last two campaigns as "conservative," while Jack Ilryan In '98, and that ho was too friendly to the corpoiatlons In tbe last legislature, was Implied by, friends pf Jackson, litythu Indications, are? that Fleming's chapces, betnx elected chairman better than Jackson's, as It Is not likely that the leaders will look for a chairman among tbe men who were, so prominently Identified with the silver movement Since Hugh Dougherty, of Illuffton, has refused the chairmanship It la believed that Will II. OTJrlen. of Law renceburg, Would be a strong candidate, but It la not certain that he would permit the use of hla name, There la more talk now of Joseph T.

Fanning, of Indianapolis, for chair man, but he la not a candidate. It Is urged by his friends that be would bb a good man for the as he Is re garded as a good organiser and haa a wide acquaintance among the party workers throughout the state.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland made the following atatement to day concerning the health of the former prealdent: "The reports that have been published In regard to Mr, Cleveland's condition have apparently been construed aa Indicating his entire recovery. This is shown by a renewal of all aorta of applications for all sorts of things which can hardly be considered even by a man In robust health, lie baa already received several epistolary chastisements at the hands of those yho are impatiently awaiting for answers to letters whlih ahould never havo been written While Mr. Cleveland a health Is such as to entirely relieve his friends from any, apprehensions, lie Is yet fa from well and has not been able to leave his room for nearly five weeks."

General Manager Danforth, of 1he Baerett Moore syndicate, la pleased with the success of the Initial trip on that road from Cleveland to Toledo.

Of the further Immediate plana of the company, Mr. Danforth says: "Within two weeks cars will leave Cleveland every hour for Toledo and Sandusky. For the first few weeks accommodation cars will be operated between Cleveland and Toledo on six hour schedule, stopping wherever necessary. At the same time limited trains TllLJejut.on..tp run the d)s tance In four hours. IUr we expect to reduce tho running time an hour by using round about tracks Into tbe sides of Cleveland and Toledo, thus ridding our service of the street de laya.
