A CAMPAIGN KATE.

In order to enable all to peruse the columns of the JOURNAL during the coming campaign and to present the merits of this paper for the favorable consideration of all not now subscribers, we have determined to make a campaign subscription rate of 25 cents. The WEEKLY JOURNAL will be sent to any address until after the November election for a quarter of a dollar. The merits of the JOURNAL are too well known to be urged. We will give the news and will treat political issues in a fearless, fair and candid manner. If not already a subscriber become one at onece.

The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock and ex-Senator Lockridge was made chairman and Major Throop Secretary. John M. ICellar, of Clay, was the only name presented and his nomination was made by acclimation.

FIFIY-TWO FAILED.

Many Would-Be School Teachers Wilt Under the Scorching Light of Examination.

Supt. J. S. Zuek has completed his work of grading the manuscripts of the applicants for teachers' license who went against the March examination. The statistics are startlingly suggestive of the fatality wrought in the oppressed regions of Armenia. The following figures tell the story: Number taking the examination

Speaking of the result Supt. Zuck said: "The large per cent, of failures might be calculated to induce one to believe that a set of ninnies took the examination. This is not true. Fully half of those taking the examination never taught school ^t all and came up here to the examination without having any idea of what an ordeal it is. It takes long, hard work to prepare for these examinations. They are rigid tests. Again there is a class of young folks who always show up but who can never get license. They are perpetual failures and they swell the list of that class every examination. Then again good teachers fail occasionally. The only wonder is that as many get through as succeed, and, to be candid, a good many have to receive a boost."

Otto Got the Worst of It.

Yesterday Miss May Walker, accompanied by two very flossy young lady friends, appeared before the shine of Judge Harney, seeking a divorce from Otto Walker, whom she inadvertently married in 1884 during a spell of absent mindedness. May's friends declaimed eloquently concerning the virtues of May and ths vices of Otto, and when May herself left the stand Otto didn't have enough character left to compare' with murderer Holmes. They told the court that he was a drunken, Drofane, violent, thriftless wretch who beat his &ifeand made her earn a living for both by taking in washing. He frequently struck and cursed her and was altogether a sore disappointmeht. The divorce was granted but Judge Harney entered an earnest demur against people who went up against matrimony with the reckless abandon with which they purchased a trial bottle .of hair tonic or cough syrup.

NIN1H DISTRICT POPULIST.

No Arrangements Whatever For Fusion With The Democrats.

IndianapoliB News: C. M. Walter, editor of the Rossville Journal, the organ of the Populist of the Ninth congressional district, who was here to-day, said, in reference to the story that the Democrats and Populists of the district will probably nominate J. B. Chealle, of Frankfort, for Congress, no such agreement has been entered into. "Mr. Cheadle is a free coinage Republican, and a splendid man." said he, "and he would make a good Congressman, but he has never expressed a desire for such a nomination." "What is the strength of the Populist party in the Ninth district?" "I have not the data at hand to give you our last vote, but that vote would be a very unfair estimate of our present strength. We have made numerous gains all over the district." "From which party have you made your gains?" "From both. Many Democrats, dissatisfied with the administration, have joined with us for reform. We havo also gained greatly from Republicans by reason of the attitude of that party on the silver question. The Populists will notehold their Congressional convention until after the St. Louis convention of July 22, and no man who will not accept the platform there

made, can get the Populist Bupport Until such time no man not with us need expect any encouragement from us. We have a number of good men for Congress, and, as we expect Buch a gain by reason of the coming declaration as will enable us to elect our man, we are in no hurry to accept any fusion, or anything looking like it. To circulate such reports concerning Mr. Cheadle may be unjust to him, and certainly is unjust to a party like the Populists, which is fighting for a principle in which we believe."

Republican State Convention.

Indianapolis •Journal: What action the committee on rules and order of business will take is not known, but the chairman of the committee will recommend a two days' convention, with the first day devoted to adopting a platform, electing the delegates-at-large and clearing up such other business as will not require a great deal of time. It looks very much as if Messrs. Fairbanks, Thompson, Wallace and Brownlee will be elected delegates-at-large by acclamation, and, though the vote on instructing them, if the matter is presented, may have to be by roll call, it will require but one call. If the two days' plan is adopted the delegates can come up on the second morning fresh for the struggle over the governorship, which may require three ballots and may require forty. The contests for Appellate Judgfe will also consume an immense amount of time, and it is possible that the second day's session would bo a long as well as au exciting one.

Favors Wallace.

I. N. Baker, the Republican candidate for Representative from Boone county, favors General Wallace aB United States Senator.

PART FIRST

MEETING OF TEE STATE DELEGATES.

Louis Resolutions I11 Favor of InstructIng the Delegates.

The delegates from Montgomery county to the State convention held a meeting in this city yesterday afternoon to organize for the campaign at Indianapolis in the interests of Hon. James A. Mount, Montgomery county's candidate for Governor.

A permanent organization was effected by electing the following ofliceas to serve until after the meeting of the State convention:

Chairman—A. F. Ramsev. Vice Chairman—E. H. O'Neall. Secretary—Oharles E. Davis. A headquarters committee was appointed consisting of Dr. W. H. Burroughs, A. B. Anderson and Hannibal Trout.

1nan

A.

eminently well qual-

ined to fill the position of Governor of our great State. He was a soldier in the late war for over three years, is a good citizen, a moral man, is identified with the laboring interests, and is well and favorably known throughout the State. We therefore believe his nomination would add thousands of the ticket on election day.

On motion of W. T. Brush the name of

F. Ramsey will be presented by the Montgomery delegation to the district meeting to be held on the evening previous to the convention as the member of the Committee on Organization, Rules and Order of Business from the Ninth district.

The principal business for which the meeting was called having been concluded the following resolutions were presented and adopted:

Resolved/, That we hereby pledge our undivided support to our honored fellow citizen, General Lew Wallace as a candidate for one of the delegates from this State to the St. Louis convention, believing him to be earnestly in favor of the nomination of that tried and true representative of protection, reciprocity and sound money. Major McKinley, of Ohio.

Resolved, That we the delegates of Montgomery county to the Republican tstate convention to be held at Indianapolis on May 7, 1896, believing that Major William McKinley more prominently than any other candidate represents the principles of protection to American industries, reciprocal relations with other countries, and a sound currency—cardinal doctrines of the Republican party—hereby pledge ourselves to vote to instruct the four dele-gates-at-large to be selected by said convention to the Republican'National ^'l^ntion v°te for the nomination of Major McKinley for our Presidential candidate so long as there may be & reasonable chance for his nomination.

The business having been concluded the meeting adjourned to meet at Indianapolis at the place hereafter designated as headquarters for the delegation at as early a date as practicable before the 7th of May.

One of a Mextet.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State central committee said last night that in his opinion the fight for governor in his party was narrowed down to six. He said there were, in his estimation, six strong candidates, and he intimated that in his opinion there was not much difference between the relative chances of any one of his sextet. Mr. Gowdy declined to name the six men, but it is thought he referred to Griffiths, Doxey, Griflin, Shockney, Sayre and Mount.

To Parents.

Parents of school children, knowing that their children have not been enumerated this year, should see their township trustee before May 1, in order to get their children properly enrolled for school. It is to the interest of all to get every child from 0 to 21 years old enumerated.

An Kiror.

Hie list of delegates to the county convention furnished the JOURNAL from Madison township was slightly in error. The name of Thomas Wilkins was omitted and James H. White instead of Thomas White is a delegate.
