Democratic State Convention Will

Be Held June 24, 1896. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., April 1, 1890.

To tho Democracy of Indiana.

The Democratic Btate convention will assemble at Tomlineon Hall, in the city of Indianapolis, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Wednesday, Juno 24th, 1896, for the purpose of Dominating' candidates for state offices to be voted for at the November election, 189G the adoption of a platform the selection of the delegates to tbo national Democratic convention the selection of presidential electors and such other business aB may properly come before the convention.

The basis of representation to said convention as fixed by the Democratic State Central Committee is one delegate for each 150 and one delegate for each fraction of 75 or more votes cast for Hon. Claude MatthewB for Governor in 1892.

Under this apportionment the Convention will consi6t of 1,747 delegates.

STEKLI.NI R. HOLT, Chairman. S. L. WALLACE, Secretary,

They were l^ooltinjr for Trouble uiul Fouiut it. Wednesday evening Jim Dunwiddy, known as "Peck's Bad Boy," and his side partner. Griest, were out looking or trouble. During their rounds they dropped into tho saloon of Howard Nicholson, on Market street, and found plenty of it. They started the trouble by calling for drinks and refusing to pay for them, which Howard stood as loog as possible, without Baying anything. "Peck's Bad Boy" tried to reach behind tho bar to get a glass to smash Mr. Nicholson with but was too slow. Howard broke five big beer glasses over his head which made tho claret How from his head just like water from the old town pump. He was finally taken out and plastered up. During the scrap Griest was hit in the head with a billiard cue which cut a gash about three inches long ou his head. It is safe tosay that they will never look for trouble in this house again. No arrests. The police have IOBI their eyes looking for votes so they will be able to hold their jobs, or perhaps it is too close to the city election, as only one arrest was made in the last week, and every thing is wide open. After election every thing will bo closed as it always is, after such occasions.

Today Ladogo will havo its big horse show. Quite a number will go down from this city.

Oae hundred and sixty horses were sold at tho Cooley & Hamilton sale which closed last evening.

The names of about 30 candidates for the nine or ton offices to be filled, will be presented to the delegates to-day befnii. the republican convention at tho V. M. C. A. building.

The attorneys for Je6se White, tho man who was recently convicted of tho murder of Mrs. Hester Curtis, at Lafayotte, and who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state's prison, are working on a motion for a now trial.

IS. M. Morrow has finished tho school enumeration of New Richmond and Wingate. There are 120 children of school age hero and 183 at Wingate. Wo can account for tho wide disparity in only one way, and that, is the silverites are very prolific, while the reported gold bugs of Now Richmond are waning and tho race becoming extinct.—New Richmond Enterprise.

Governor Matthews on Thursday pardoned John S. Potter, of Greencastle, who was sent to tho penitentiary September 11, 1895. for embezzlement, for one year. Ho was a clerk in a hotel at the time the crime was committed. This is the individual who lifted some cash, over $50, deposited last year by Thoa. Nicholson, the photographer, who had placed it in the safe of the Commercial hotel.

Apportionment .Suit. It is entirely likely that two important decisions will be handed down by the Supreme Court next week. The May term begins on Monday and it is not improbable that one of them will come down that day, while tho other will be delayed until the latter part of tho week.

Tho first is the fee and salary case, which haB been in the hands of the court some months and haB been anxiously looked for by tho county recorders of the State. It is the impression among attorneys that tho the opinion in thiB case is by Justice McCabe. It ia said to havo been finished and passed on by the court early this week.

The second and more important decision to come down is that in the apportionment suit brought in Marion county to overthrow the act of 1895. The opinion in this, which is thought to have been entrusted to Justice Howard, will probably be brief, inasmuch as almott all the ground haB been gone over in previous decisions. The case will probably ottain a record as the most expeditious.^' bandied suit of importance that has ever gone through the courts of Indiana,

If tho decision proves favorable to tho contention to tho republican state com mittee, it seems likely that tho suit instituted at Noblesville. covering all apportionment acts, will be withdrawn. Since it was begun tho point has been made and accepted on all sides that tho post-bellum amendmentB to tho federal constitution, supplemented by the amendment of 1S91 to the state constitution, wiped out all apportionments previous to that of 18S5, and recent decisions havo overthrown all those passed sinco then. Therefore, if tho decision is against the act of 1SS5, the statute books will be clear of apportionment laws.

For Free .Silver. The Crawfordsville correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel sendB in the following: "Tho democrats of Montgomery county met by township on Saturday and selected dolegates to tho county, State, Congressional, and Joint Senatorial and Representative conventions. The financial question was made the issue by a few gold advocates and as a result ten townshipB have selected pronounced free silver delegates to tho State Congressional and other district conventions. In Coal Creek township, with its 150 democratic majority} only four votcB were cast for gold delegates, in spite of tho fact that the delegates defeated were exceedingly popular men. In Wajne township, 150 democratic, the result was as sharply defined. Every delegate selected to state and congressional conventions from this county are instructed to vote only for free silver candidates for congress and free silver delegates to the Chicago convention.

The free silver question will make tho republicans much trouble in their convention on Saturday and an attempt, will be made to bridge over the difficulty.''

!,nr:s Long For Slierill'. The namo of Laut Long, of thiB city, appears in this issue of THE REVIEW as a candidate for Shoriir, subject to the wish of delegates to the democratic nominating convention to be hold on the 23rd of this month. Lant Long is as well and favorably known as any democrat in the county, having resided here all his life, and beon active at all times in tho interest of the party. In the campaign of 1890 he made an excellent race for township assessor although defeated. Some years since ho was appointed manager of the poor farm and asylum, retaining control four years. It was never better managed than under his charge. If to tho workers of the party the honors should bo shown and bestowed, Mr. Long's chances for the nomination are indeed favorable, and if nominated none will labor more earnestly for party success than ho.

For Hoveriior Mnlllieww. The democratic students of tho Cennormal college, of Danville, on Tuesday, to the number of 250 met and organized tho "Matthewsclub of the C. N.C." Charlet Jeston was elected president. Much enthusiasm was mamfestod when the name of Governor Claude Matthews was mentioned, and the club pledged itself to use every available means to secure his nomination for president. It was amusing to 6eo tho looks of blank astonishment depicted on tho faces of tho republicans, who had supposed that they would have a walkover. Tho democratic Btudonts there, as elsewhere, reoresent by far tho majority of voters and will prove a tower of strength to tho grand old democratic party whon the time comes for action.

Tho reported trial in tho Enquirer daily of the Scott Jackson trial at Newport, Ky is read by many persons, and all the evidence is carefully noted. The opinion among many is that tho evidence thus produced is not sufficiently strong and convincing as to result in the conviction of Jackson. Strike A in ii Coal .Uliier*.

The bituminous coal operators held a secret conference at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the outlook for a strike in the Indiana coal belt being quite probable. They refused to divulge tho proceedings of the meeting, and intimated that they expected that tho miners would strike on Friday of this week, because theoperatorB cannot pay more than the Eastern Illinois scalo, which is 55 cents.

The last proposition of the miners looks to accepting 01 cents, but tho operators said this week: "On one side is Ohio, which pays G1 cents and has bettor coal than we have, while on the other side is Illinois,which payB 55"cents and has better shipping facilities than wo have. Wo cannot compete with Illinois and pay a higher rate than that state, much as wo would like to do it.

The operators separated, believing that a strike ou Friday was an imminent possibility. Tte last strike of tho Indiana minors occurred two years ago. and it brought on such a state of affairs in Sullivan and Washington counties that tho state militia was sent there by Governor Matthews to rostoro order The militia remained on guard in Sullivan county for ten days.
