DEMOCRATS NOMINATED
The Demoarats Met in Convention Thursday Evening and Nominated a City Ticket-
The democrats met at the court bouse on Thursday evening aDd nominated a strong city ticket. Mike Carroll was chairman and W. P. Hunt was made secretary. M. V. B. Smith waB nominated in the first ward for councilman, Thomas E. Nolan and D. L. Lee for the second ward, and ex-Treasurer John C. Button) for the third ward. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and it is thought that the entire ticket can be elected. When elected they will run the city in the interest of the tax-payers and not for the benefit of themselves. A prominent republican said that Myers could not rest easy until every cent in the city treasury was spent. Democrats vote the straight ticket and we are bound to win.

NINTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Charles B- Landis, of Delphi, Nominated for Representative on the First Ballot.
The ninth district republican nominating convention, composed of the counties of Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Clinton, Carroll, Tipton and Hamilton, met in Crawfordsville on Tuesday last, according to program, to nominate a candidate for Representative in Congress.
MoBt of the delegates and a good' sprinkling of representative men of the party were present, lbe fellows that had been promised positions from Secretary of State d„wn to township constable were on hand to work for their favorites. There were four candidates, viz: .Landis of Carroll, Tucker and Graham from Hamilton, and Harrison from Boone county. The managers had the machine under good control and everything pann&d out to their satisfaction. Gen. Wallace was chosen permanent chairman, and drew forth a written Bpeech, prepared in anticipation probably three or four weeks ago. Rev. Leech, (some call him Doctor) made a good High protection prayer, and the balloting was ready to begin. After the work was finished the count showed 119 for Landis, which was 10 more than required, and he was at once and forthwith declared the nominee, his opponents almost losing their breath in their anxiety to have it quickly made unanimous. They saw that the machine had crushed them, and they wanted to appear how glad they were that they got left and Landis didn't.
Landis was called for and made the usual "hi-fa-lu-tin" speech about Crawfordsville, Henry S. Lane, the G. 0. P., etc. The crowd was the seediest, most verdent looking aggregation [seen here since the foundation of the party. What time was not devoted to juggling for little petty positions was spent largely in saloons setting up the drinks. The saloons did a bigger business on that day than for six months past. If the cang here on Tuesday is a representative body of republicans the public would not mind a change to something not so representative.

I'rof. Campbell's Project. A Washington dispatch of yesterday states that Congressman Hatch has asked the committee on railways and canals to substitute Senator Turpie's canal bill, which recently passed the senate, appropriating $25,000 for the preliminary survey of a ship cana! from Lake Michigan to the Wabash river, for his bill now pending in the committee. A sub-committee, of which Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, is chairman, ie now considering the bill, and has promised Congressman Hatch to report the matter Boon to the house. Mr. Hatch hopes for favorable action from the house, now that the senate has acted BO promptly, and because the appropriation carried by the bill is comparatively Bmall.
niilllla for Kobjr Track*. The governor and the attorney general will take the greund that the three racing associations in Lake county are under the Bame management, and that any attempt to use the three tractcesuccessively is an evasion of the Sellers law. If the racing is persisted in injunction proceedings-will be brought by the attorney general in the Lake Circuit Court, or the interference of the militia will be invoked. An agent representing the governor is said to be on the ground collecting the necessary evidence, and his reports confirm the governor's belief that all of them are governed by the same head.
flutcbingH Nominated. At a republican nominating election on Tuesday for councilman from the 2d ward, Dr. Hutchings and J. L. Davis were opposing candidates. Notwithstanding the elegant puff given to Davis by the Journal it seemed to have done no good, as Hutchings' majority was nearly 71. A prominent republican speaking of it remarked, "I should think by this time Davis would take a tumble to himself, and know that he can get nothing from the republicans for any kind of nomination."

THE WHITE MURDER TRIAL.
The Defendant found Guilty and Sen-
tenced for life. The jury in the case of JesBie White, at Lafayette, charged with the murder of Mrs. Hester Curtis, retired at 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The murder of Mrs. Curtis was one of the most horrible and brutal that was ever perpetrated in Lafayette, at least within the last third of a century. She was an aged widow, who lived alote on south Twenty-third street. She owned the little home where she resided, and many people were under the impression Bhe had money. In this they were most likely mistaken, for aside from $300 or $400 in the bank, she does not seem to have had any means. On the afternoon of December 22,1895, Mrs. George Curtis and her little son made their regular Sunday afternoon visit to grandma Curtis. The child, ever anxious to be the first to receive grandma's welcome, ran on ahead of his mother, and opened the door which gave ingress to the kitchen, he want aside. A moment later he darted out of the door again, and cautioned his mother to be quiet, that grandma was aBleep in her chair.
Mre. George Curtis stepped into the Bitting room, and one glance told her that it waB the sleep of death. Sitting almost upright in her
