DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

AN IMMENSE ATTENDANCE OF

PEOPLE PROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

Daniels of Virginia. Temporary Chair­

man—The Platform --Nominee for President Choser..

Tho national convention of the democracy assembled at tho Colliseum building, Chicago, ou Tuesday last. The Convention in point ot attendance of people was tho largest ever hold in tho United States'. There were people present from every Statu aud territory of the Union, and the building, the largest, it is said, in the world, was tilled with tho vast throng to witness the proceedings.

It was to be a contest between tho free silver men and thoso of the gold standard, and tho silver man won. The delegates, over 900, were composed of over 000 favorable to silver, while the gold men numbered 300. For temporary chairman the former chose Senator Daniel, of Virginia, the latter, Senator Hill, of New York. Daniel was elected as temporary chairman, and made an eloquent speech on assuming the position with which he had been honored. The The committee of resolutions on Wednesday reported the platform:

The report declares for tho free anl unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 without reference to the action of any other nation,

The issue of bonds.is denounced. A demand is made that the power to issue notes must be taken from national banks.

A tariff for revenue only is demanded, with a declaration that threatened revival of the McKinley law is a menace to the best interests of the country, and the present tariff law a democratic and eminently proper piece of tariff legislation.

A demand for a constitutional amendment permitting an income-tax law is also made a part of the platform report.

Sympathy is expressed for the Cubans. A demand is made that pauper immigrants be excluded from this country.

A declaration for liberal pension legislation compries three other planks accepted.

Senator Hill is praised for his introduction of the bill prohibiting the punishment of certain contempt cases, and sweeping government injunction by the federal court are doprecated.

Another plank denounces the Pacific railroad refunding bill. The third term idea is opposed as violating one ot tho cardinal principles of democracy.

A vigorous denunciation of the extravagance of the last republican congress also is included in tho majority report.

Tho balloting for nominees for President aud Vice-President began on Thursday. Among the names placed before tho convention for President were Bland, of Missouri Boise, of Iowa Mathews, of Indiana, Bryan, of Nebraska and others.

Friday the ballotting for choice of the convention for President began, and most of tho day was consumed. On the 5th ballott, Hun. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb., was nominated—the first person west of tho Mississippi ever nominated for this distinguished position. No nomination for vice-Prosident was made yesterday. It will bo made to-day, and the general opiuion seems to be that tho choice will fall upon upon John R. McLean, of th eCincinn&ti Enquirer.

Weekly Crop Ilnllctin. Centrai Station, Indianapolis, Ind.,— Warm, fair weather, with a few local rainB only, was very favorable for harvesting and growing crops. Corn is in excellent condition and growing rapidly, standing quite high in many fields. It is being "laid by." Oats are very tine and never promised better. It is ripening, and in the southern portion some has been cut. Beans have been planted. Potatoos are in good condition. Tobacco is looking well, but worms are bad in places. Sugar beots are making good progress. Vegetable, tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and berries are abundant. Wheat and rye threshing continues the yield in some localities is good, in other localities it is bad. Haying continues. The crop iB good, but light much has been up in the northern portion. Young clover looks well it needs rain in the northern portion. Pasturage is good. A good crop of timothy is being harvested. Plenty of fruit, especially peaches. Blackberries are ripening.

Ihe Indianapolis News correspondent from Crawfordsville has tho following which is probitbly mixed with some truth, but very little: "Several days ago Alonzo Careti, of tho Balhinch neighborhood, near Crawfordsville, invited his son-in-law, Peter GroendyUe, to take dinner with him 1 he invitation waB sent by a neighbor who found Grendvke entertaining company himself and unable to go.

On Friday, however, while riding his horse to tho field he fell off and injured his spine and brain. Ilo lies ir. a critical condition and will probably dio.

CiKarH Till do Before lie War. ihe will ou tho late Thomas Bonitield an aged and highly respected citizen of Danville, lnd., was opened Tuesday, and in distributing the household goods there was found a largo box containing nearly 5,000 old-fashioned, hand-made cigars, tho history ot which is as follows: Mr. Bonifield formerly lived in Kentucky as a farmer, lyid his wife, as a means of assisting in making tho living, began manufacturing cigars, tho tobacco for which they raised themselves, and she succeeded in making a success of tho undertaking. ThiB was before tho war and before any revenuo tax was put on tobacco, and when that went into effect her stock' in trade amounted to the cigars just found, and never having taken out a license, they were kept in a tiehtly closed box, and when the family came to Indiana tho cigars were brought along. Mrs. Bonifield died some four years ago and always took a delight in telling of hor skill in rolling cigars, Those heirs who received the cigars distributed them to the smokers of tho town, who pronounced them first-class, even though they they had been made close to 35 years ago.

Attorney A.M. Higgins of this city waba witness to a fiendish murder at tho Michigan City penitentiary last Sunday morning. The murderer's name is Henry Jones and the victim was Omer Thomas. .Both wore from Indianapolis It was dtirirg the chapel service that' the blows which resulted in tho death of Thomas were struck, and so quickly did the black fiend act, no one could stay his arm until Thomas had fallen to the Hour with three gaping wounds in his body.

Attorney lliggins says tho two negroes have been enemies ever since thoy have been in prison. In f-ict, Jones Baid when ho »vas put in tho prison that ho was going to kill Thomas. This hared arises from tho fact that when Jones was on trial for murder at Indianapolis Ihomas was tho principal witness against him. Jones was sentenced to twenty-one years imprisonment and vowed tho day ho left Indianapolis to kill his enemy. Whon

Old Israel PattOD, tho well known populist and farmer, had a horse to meet v. itli a strango misfortune on Saturday last at Linden. Driving into town there was tbo usuai stylo of Fourth of July celebration going on, on that day, and to prevent him from running away, he hitched his horse securely to a post, and repaired to somo othor part of the town on a business mission. Tho firing of crackers, bombs, etc., was continued for

601110

hours and much of it

in the vicinity ot tho horse. On returning to the horso aud unhitching it, Mr. Patton discovered that tho inceBsont noiso of tho fire works had produced total deafness and which haB continued over since. WordB or commands to move, stop, "gee," "haw," etc., have no effect on the animal whatever. It is supposed tho drum of tho ears became fractured by the noise, and tho hearing faculty is gone permanently. Blind horses are frequently seen, but thoso deprived of hearing aro rare.

The Liquor Dealers' Association,oi Terre Haute, after a heated session yoBtorday afternoon, voted to resist the prosecution instituted against them for selling on July 4, and appropriated funds sufficient to retain three of the city's loading lawyers. The expression of tho meeting

waB

that it was willing to abide

by tl law aB regarded closing at 11 o'clock p. m. and on Sundays, but declined to do so on legal holidays. Members say that the holidays of the year are the best buisness days and to close them would be to euspend buisness entirely. Complaints havo boon lodged against fifty or uioro saloon men for oponing on tbo Fourth, and Beveral havo already pleaded guilty and paid flneB. The remainder will stand fight. Samuel M. Huston tho prosecuting attorney is especially active iu the prosecution, being strongly supported by th9 Civic Federation.

Short a Hieyele. Frank Miles, or au individual giving that as his name, called Sidoner's bicycle shop on on Monday, saying he desired to ront a bicycle an hour. One was furnished him and ho wheeled out promptly. Tho hour passed and he came not, and several more hours followed. A number of local wheelmen Btarted out to look for him but up to this hour ho has not boon seen in theso parts. It is, no doubt, a case of premeditated thoft, and Sidener is the loser, tho Bicycle being valued at 875.
