Democratic Convention denoet* the l'Viot 'X'liiit 'l'horo its Groro oil Luna, The Democratic county convention to-day for the purpose of electing delegates to a minor district convention at Terre Haute would under ordinary circumstances have been a very tame sort of an affair but two or three days ago it was discovered that the anti-Hrook-shire forces were moving every force to pack the convention and deal Hroolfshire a slap in the face. Accordingly in the little time left the Brookshire men bestirred themselves and the court room was comfortably filled this morning wheu time was called for the first round. An verwhelniing majority of those present were from Union township and every anti-Urookshiio man known to fame was present, from John liooe down to Jere Keeney. It was painfully manifest that the autls. who had the chairman, intended to bulldoze things through and there was a lively tight over the right of the chairman to appoint the chairmen for the several townships. Johnston had his slate already written out and coolly started in to make his appointments but was called down and the selection of chairman was linally left to several townships. The row over this point lasted an hour and a half and much bad blood was manifested. The Brookshire men wanted Michael Carroll elected permanent chairman but the out townships defeated this and all the way through refused to recoguize either of the Union township factions. The scrap appeared to lie about a draw wheu the convention adjourned to meet this afternoon. The fight waxed warm in several of the townships but the lines were only openly drawn in Union township. The anti-Brookshire men had printed tickets and elected their seven delegates .to the district convention by a majority of one. The seven chosen are all known as antiHrookshire and are as follows: Asher W ert. Eli Myers. Jim Brennan, Mike Callihan. Tom Nolan, \V. 11. Hardee and Sam Burliolder. The anti-Brook-sliire men could not hold their own when it came to choosing officers for tlie permanent organization, however, and the out townships ignored both factions again and elected Mike Foley, of Coal Creek. In the selection of secretary the same impartiality was maintained and the editors of the rival Democratic papers shared the heavy honors.

When oracle Mike took the chair his long pent up eloquence burst forth and he told the people all about it. He just literally wiped the earth with the Republican party and proved conclusively by saying that it is composed of a mosr surprising lot of thieves, liars and traitors in history. Incidentally he put enough white wings on the Democratic party to almost hide its long ears. He spoke at eloquent length and when he closed Marion Clodfelter introduced a resolution praying for tariff reform. The delegates to the district convention were named and the meeting adjourned. The antiBrookshire men had made their biggest showing but failed to pan out very surprisingly. They won by an ear (and not a big Democratic ear either) in Union township but they showed their hand and will be wiped out of sight next time.

!:Mr.

Landis' Candidacy. IV

Charles B. Landis. editor of the Delphi Journal, was in the city yesterday. He has, for a few years past, figured quite prominently in the inner circles of the Republican wire-pnlling fraternity of the State. At the recent meeting the Republican State central committee it was hinted that he was a candidate for secretary of the committee. The resignation .of Frank M. Millikan from that position has emphasized the hint, but Mr. Landis comes the front with the declaration that he has higher aspirations. He will lie a candidate for Congress from his district and has no intention to ask for the secretaryship. That position will most likely go to Russell M. Seeds, city editor of the Indianapolis Journal. —[nilianapol'w Journal.

-A. YOTnVC* SWINDLER.

Ho Got« Into ,T. W. Homy "For Xwonty-EJiglit .Dollars. The authorities are after Mr. F. W Lyon, a plausible young man who is doing a big swindling business over the State. Young Lyon came here a week ago last Wednesday with a contract apparently signed by by the W. W. Southerland Lumber Company, of Saginaw, Mich., which represented him as their traveling agent. He was the son of A. I. Lyon, the well-known dealer in hardwood lumber in Indianapolis, and apparently a business like young fellow, lie made some contracts with Mr. Henry, ami purchased two car loads of lumber. Before "lie left he exhitited a draft for from the Southerland Company and asked Mr. Henry to indorse it with him as he was a stranger here. Everything appeared so good that Mr. Henry accompanied him to Elston's bank and indorsed wth him. On Christmas day the draft was returned from Chicago protested. The bank unformed Mr. Henry and he accordingly wrote to Lyon's father. It appears, however, that Mr. Henry will Vie forced to stand the S2S loss as the following letter from the Elder Lyon is self explantory:

INDIAX-WOUS. Ind., Dec. 2!, LS'CI., Mit. J. W. 1IK.\KY. Crawfordsville, Ind., Dear Sir:—Yours of the 2Sth received. One came at the. same time addressed to F. W. Lyon, which I refused to receive as 1 disowned him an long time ago. and will have nothing whatever to do with him.

Regarding the draft you speak of 1 have no doubt it is a fraud and perhaps forgery. I am sorry you are one of his numerous victims. I have just received a telegram from Lebanon asking for his address. I have no doubt lie has perpetrated some fraud there.
