The Democratic Congressional Convention for the Tenth Indian District, will be held at Rensselaer on Tuesduv, July 22d. 1884. Hon. T J. Wood will be present and address t'ue people on the issues of the day. If it is now iujorder we would ask: “Will Newton county now concede the Republican nomination for Representative to our Simon?” Toe radical innocents hereabouts profess great sympathy and admiration for Messrs. Kellev and Grady, of the Tammany orgaD zation. Ex* President Tilden and ex*Gcverror Seymour, gentlemen posted in the political condition of Isew Yoik, unite in saying that Governor Cleveland can readily carry that State. “A littlo more grape Gen. Bragg,” made the fur lly, and uncovered the corrupt motives actuating Messrs. KelleyJ and Grady in their vehement denunciation and opposition to Gov. Cleveland. Messrs. Judge Hammond, Ezra O Nowels, “Ben” Smoot, Mose Tuteur’ C, C. Starr. W. B. Austin, Jonn Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Thompson, and others too numerous to mentionhave been taking in the Convention at Chicago during th« week.

Republican Senators Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Sewell, of New Jer-cy. and Jones voted that the Fitz John Porter bill pass ov r the objections of Crank Guiteau’s aecideney, Arthur. The bill passed the House by a vote considerably over two thirds, and the Senate by one majority. The Detroit News says that if Dor soap-bubble “vvero perfectly candid, he would probably have written I is veto message in one sentence; ‘I return the bill without my approval, because I am advised by the leaders of ray party that its disapproval will hurt the democrats in the pending campaign.’” The Democratic National Convention now in session at Chicago, is the. great center of attraction this week, and it names the next. President of thelUnited States—Gov, Gao vf,k Cleveland, of New York. The nomination is a’pood one, and will be heartily endorsed by the masses. He is free from the taint of orruption, while his republican opponent is iatooed with jobbery. We expect next week to be able to lay before our readers the proceedings of the Convention, platform, etc. Now prepare for action and let victory and reform be the watchwords. The Rens c ela» rJDeraocratlc Sentinel says Jas. T- Sauriderson, of Keutlond. will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Judge. The same rumor is current here, but yre have not 1 eard Mr Saunderson say yea or nay.— Kentlmi.? Gazette. Nevertheless, at the solicitation of many citizens, members of all parties, disgusted at the anxious effort s of one mm to insure the nomination of a certain favorite, ss well as the over* willingness of the favorite to seecnro the nomination in spite of the strong opposition arrayed agaiust him, and his self-commendation to the parjsi sans of his party iu the declaration that he was a Republican who had never scratched his tioket, Mr. Saunderson has consented to accept the the nomination, which will no doubt be accorded him.

Indianapolis News (Republican):— Tie democrats nominated a strong ticket yesterday. It is fatuous to at tempt to be blind to that. * * * * * Tbe ticket h strong because the body of it has a good record and carries with it tbe "nine points* of possession. It is “in.*— It is stroDg because tbe head of it is an able man He has as much grit to the square inch as any bod}» * * . * It was this grit that gave him this nomination. * • * * Human nature admires this quality in anybody. Democratic human nature especially admires itand here is i n indication of Gray’s strength The rank and file of bis party stuck to him in mi? convention, * * * it was tbe representatives of the democratic people * who carried him through. * * * He will, in our opinion, poll every democratic vote that any other candidate for the place could, * * Gray is a pretty even match

for Calkins. Each has about the same cumber of points alike. Each is an able speaker, and where one may see an advantage for Oalkins in the impulse and entbusiam which may spring from warm young blood, he might see an advantage for Gray in hia seniority of years and experience. But he is not too eld; just about old enough, and as we see if, “it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands,” The cam paign in this state is going to be put upon its mettle, and it ought to be elevating and instructive. Tbe platform i 3 a splendid document—speaking to the manner of p atforms. It has a vigor ami precision all the way through which carry with ;them the ccnvicion that it knows what it wants. * * * • • Its strongest plank is the one on th'; constitutional convention. It has the “whip hand” on the republicans in this, and will be endorsed by a majority of tbe people. * *
