Indianapolis, April 20.—The Republican state convention began business at 9 o’clock yesterday morning. It did not let up until after 3 o’clock this morning—the session being continuous. Delegates stuck closely to their task, and it was not until midnight that a thinning out of delegates was noticed. It was a matter of comment that men stood the labor* for such long hours. Confusion increased as time wore on, anti it was with great difficulty that the calls were proceeded with in the closing hours. The complete ticket is as follows; Secretary of State—Owen of Casa Auditor—Dailey of Boone. Treasurer—Scholz of Vfcnderburg. Attorney General—Ketcham of Marion. Clerk Supreme Court—Hess of Wabash.

Second District—Monks of Winchester. HARRISON APPEARS. 41 reefed With Great. Cheers When He \ Entered the Hall. Indianapous, April 2(i.— Just as Colonel Thompson concluded his address in the Republican state convention yesterday ex President Harrison entered by the stage door. He was greeted bj’ cheers' •which were long continued, the entire assembly rising and waving handkerchiefs and hats. When order had been restored he spoke briefly, giving greatest attention to the tariff and finance, but the sentence which brought forth most cheers was that in which he said: “At some time during the campaign which so auspiciously opens today, if it be the pleasure of my fellowing citizens, I shall hold myself at their service for a fuller discussion.” Aftar this address was concluded this platform in full was adoped without dissent: The Platform. The administration of President Harrison and the congressional legislation of that period were wise, pare and patriotic, and we point to flit; marked contrast between the home and foreign policies of that administration and the present travesty on government inflicted npoli the American people. We believe in the Republican doctrine of protection and reciprocity, which furnishes a home-market for the product of our factories and our farms and protects the American laborer against the competition of the pauper labor of Europe. We denounce the unwise and unpatriotic action of the Democratic party in attempting to eliminate the reciprocity principle from our tariff reform system, thcrebj closing a large foreign market to the products of American■ farms and depressing agricultural interests.. We denounce the present attempt of a Detnocratie congress to overthrow and destroy the American industrial system, a course that, with the general fear of a violent readjustment of the country’s business to a tree trade basis, has increased the national debt, has plunged the country into tho most disastrous business depression of its history, has closed large numbers of banks and factories throughout the country, Ims thrown an unprecedented number of. American citizens out ot employment, has compelled thousands of ablelxxlied and. industrious men to humiliate themselves by asking for charity and has filled our broad land with free, soup houses and food markets. We believe in a currency composed of gold, silver and paper, readily convertible at a fixed standard of value and entirely under national control; and we favor the imposition of increased tariff duties upon the imports from ali foreign countries which oppose the coinage of silver upon a basis to be determined by an in- ■ ternalional congress for such purpose. We denounce the avowed purpose of the Democratic party to restore the era of “wild-cat” money. We believe in a liberal construction of our pension laws, and we condemn the unjust policy of the present administration in depriving ex-soldiers of the pensions without a hearing, a policy intended to Cast odium upon loyalty and patriotism. We believe it to be the duty of the state, as well as the nation, to make suitable provision for the care and maintenance of all indigent soldiers, their wives and widows; we therefore favor the . establishment by the state of a suitable soldiers’ home for the reception of such soldiers, their wives and widows, as may be overtaken, by adversity. We demand a rigid enforcement of all existing immigration laws by the-natibnal government, and demand such further legislation as will protect our people and institutions against the influx of the criminal and vicious classes. We denounce the unpatriotic action of the Cleveland administration in hauling down the American flag at Hawaii, and condemn the arrogant assumption of power displayed in the effort to restore a tyrannical queen over a free people who have thrown off the yoke of despotism. • We condemn the outrageous bargain and sale of federal patronage by the Cleveland administration fn its unblushing efforts to usurp the prerogatives of the legislative ‘ branch of the government, to enforce favorite measures through congress and compel the confirmation of presidential appointments by the senfite. We condemn the reckless and extravagant administration of the financial affairs of this state, whereby the people are subjected to unjust and unnecessary burdens of taxation, by an increased assessment of property and an Increased rate of taxation and by a multiplication of offices to be supported by the taxpayers of the state. We believe that the benevolent, educational and correctional institutions of the state should be placed under non-partisan control. We believe in sucli legislation, state and national, as will protect the lives and luflpß of employes of railroads, mines and factoriw. We condemn the policy steadily pursued by the Democratic legislatures of Indiana in so gerrymandering the state as to deny the people a fair representation of their views in the state legislature and national congress, thus imperiling the foundations of our institutions. DETAIL OF THE CONVENTION. How the Candidates Showed at the Start and the Finish. The fun began witji promptness, the nrsr oanot on secretary ot state being conducted as a test of strength between the five aspirants. Better order could not have been wished for, the convention remaining seated during its progress. The announcement of the result, however; was the signal for work, and from tljat hour there was interminable strife for supremacy. Sulzer was first to drop out, being followed by Jones, and on the fourth ballot Mr. Owen of Logansport mustered the winning forces. Without speeches and no delay the t convention passed to the auditorship,

Daily of Lebanon won on tlie fourth ballot. Coons of Indianapolis started a good second, with only 3S votes less thsn tho leader, Irtit when he lost 87 of thews on the second call lie gave up the fight, and witfidrew, closing one feature of the Marion ebunty warfare iu the convention. A great scene was enacted here by Daily it nd Hauck forces, each of which tried to effect a stampede for their inan. and the third showed Daily with the best of it. He was chosen on the fourth ballot, but was given a lively chase by Hauck, Wilson having withdrawn. The “old ticket” got recognition on the first contest for treasurer. Mr. Sholz of Evansville took the lead from the start and maintained it to the end, finishing with 865 1-2 votes. Marlon’* Great Struggle. The next inane drawn was on the attorney generalship, where Marion county, by reason of presenting Ketcham, Taylor and Hanna, was the center of attraction, while outsiders were making ever)' effort to turn the circntnHtances to the advantage of Loveland or Lovett. It was as fierce a struggle as is often seen and Taylor started with a slight lead over each competitor the first count, leading Ketcham by 109. Lovett showed up with 836 and Loveland with 874. Hanna hml but 162 and dropped out of sight. Ketcham closed the gap in the second heat and passed Taylor by a nose, showing 517 1-4 to 512 1-4, while each of the others lost a few votes. With these running qualities shown the delegates drifted steadily to Ketcham on the third, when he passed under the wire with one vote to spare. Marion county supporters of each fought hard and the vote was challenged at every turn. It was 8 o’clock when the supreme court clerkship race was entered and in the wartning up heat it was a free-for-all with seven entries, Harvey of Marion going lame liefore the call. The first call showed: Brown of Johnson, 233; Hess of WabaVh, 273; Tichenor of Gibson. 269; Endsley of Dekalb, 261; Tuthill of Laporte. 239; Black of Hancock, 213; McClelland of Hendricks. 132. Two successive ballots showed slight change; on the third Hess and Brown showed the "most decided gains. Six ballots were necessary., when Hess captured the prize with 873 1-2 to Brown’s 832 1-2, the other aspirants having dropped out. Superintendent of public instruction came next with but two contestants. Geeting and Henry. When the rollcall had progressed as far as Pulaski county . Mr. Henry saw that his chances were hopeless and moved the unanimous choice of his opponent. Simeon Thompson of Shelby was chosen statistician on the second ballot and W. H. Blatchley of. Terre Haute went in as geologist after a similar test. For judge of the First district there were but two contestants, Coffey of Clay and Jordan of Morgan, and the latter was the choice of the convention by the narrow majority of four votes. For the Fourth judicial district Monks was nominated on the second ballot. The convention adjourned at 8:3t) a. m. ALL-AROUND POLITICS. Threatened Indictment of a Grand Jury In Chicago. Chicago, April 26.—The grand jury now in session is endeavoring to uncover frauds in the special mayoralty elections last fall. It is charged by Democrats that the members of the grand jury are working in the interest of the Republicans, with a view to counting in George B. Swift, the Republican candiML JUDGE CHETLAIN. d ate for mayor. A plj.n is said to be forming to summon a special grand jury with a view to indicting the regular jury. The grand jury called upon the election commissioners to surrender the . ballots, but they have declined to do so. Judge Chetb in has been asked to compel the commissioners to coinply with the jury’s request. He has the matter under advisement. Remember every pair of glasses you buy at D. M. Hensley’s you only pay one half as much as you pay other opicians and have the privilege of returning them if they don’t suit. He will take baok every pair that is not correct. Get yourselves or yobr friends a pair of glasses at D. M. Hensley’s. 33 ts On account of bad health the firm of Donovan & Coffee was by mutual consent dissolved, Peter J. Coffee retiring. Mr. Coffee|was to great expense trying to improve his health. WenttoCalifornia with that view and was brought back a corpse. All has incurred a heavy expense, and now the widow call on all those owing the firm of Donovan & Coffee to come to her relief and settle up their indebtedness with the. old firm as she needs the money. 4-4 Notice to Gas Consumers.
