REPUBLICAN TICKET.
James A. Mount Nominated For Governor.
M'KINLEY DELEGATES SELECTED.
General Harrison Not at the Convention and Took No Fart in th« Deliberations. Sonnd Money Platform Adopted—Names of the Nominees—Other Dispatches of
Interest to Indiana Headers. INDIANAPOLIS, May 8.—The Indiana Republican convention yesterday instructed its delegates for Major McKinley, with scarcely a show of opposition and the long impending battle between the McKinley and alleged Harrison forces ended in commonplace peace. The platform embodying the instructions was adopted by a viva voce vote and without division, the chairman's decision that the motion to adopt had carried, being received without a challenge.
General Harrison did not make his eagerly-expected speech to the delegates and did not visit the convention at all.
The platform declares for "sound money," favors the use of both gold and silver at a parity, urges bimetallism on an international basis and condemns the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The ticket chosen was as follows:
Delegates at large: R. W. Thompson of Vigo county, C. W. Fairbanks of Marion, F. M. Milliken of Henry and General Lew Wallace of Montgomery.
Alternates: R. T. McDonald of Allen, Hiram Brownlee of Grant, E. O. Hopkins of Vanderburg and George L. Knox, colored, of Marion.
Electors at large: H. G. Thayer of Marshall and O. F. Jones of Henry. The convention was then ready to proceed to the nomination of a candidate for governor. In accordance with the rules there were no nominating speeches. The following names were presented:
Frank B. Posey of Vanderburg county, Will Cumback of Decatur, James T. Johnston of Parke, John L. Griffiths of Marion, J. J. Todd of Wells, Theodore Shockney of Randolph, Oharles T. Doxey of Madison, James A. Mount of Montgomery, Oharles F. Griffin of Lake, G. E. Everett of Allen, Warren G. Sayre of Wabash and James S. Dodge of Elkhart.
It took seven ballots to settle the contests. It was evident after the announcement of the sixth ballot that the delegates, wearied by the 10 hours' session, were ready for a break to a winning candidate, as the call began it was plain that Mount was profiting by the break. Marion county withdrew the name of Griffith and when Mount was given the majority of the Indianapolis delegations' vote the matter was settled. The final ballot resulted: Mount, 763 Griffin, 302 Doxey, 251, the remaining votes being scattered in small lots among the other candidates. Upon motion of Mr. Griffin the nomination was made unanimous amid the greatest enthusiasm yet shown by the convention. Mr. Mount made a graceful speech of acceptance and speeches were also made by the defeated candidates
A motion to adjourn was hotly contested, rollcall being demanded adjournment was defeated however, and T. A. Haggard of Tippecanoe county and John W. Baker of Whitly were placed in nomination for lieutenant governor. Baker received 668 votes and Haggard 777 necessary to a choice, 708
For secretary of state, W. D. Owen of Cass county, and for auditor of state A. O. Dailey of Boone county, were nominated by acclamation.
For treasurer of state: Fred J. Scholtz was nominated over Leopold Levy. Scholtz is the present incum bent.
W. A. Ketcham was renominated for attorney general by acclamation. For reporter supreme court Charles F. Remy was nominated on the second ballot.
For superintendent of public instruction: D. M. Geeting of Jefferson. For state statistician: S. J. Thompson of Shelby county was nominated by acclamation.
James A. Mount, the nominee for governor is a farmer of Shannondale. He is an ex-member of the state senate, is prominent in farm institute work and yearly delivers lectures in the agricultural department of Perdue university. He is quite wealthy.
Jumped From a Window.
FORT WAYNE, May 8.—Alfred Harry Saylor, a prominent business man of Antwerp, was brought to the St. Joe hospital here on Monday, suffering from the effects of softening of the brain. Yesterday he jumped from his bed and leaped from a second-story window, carrying the sash with him. He lived four hours, and died of internal injuries. The deceased leaves a widow and five children in good circumstances.
Factory Burned.
SEYMOUR, Ind., May 8.—Yesterday morning fire destroyed the main factory building of the Seymour Manufacturing company. The firemen prevented the spread of flames to other parts of the large plant. The loss will reach $8,000 or $10,000 on machinery, stock and building. The damage is covered by insurance.
Alleged Mnrderer Arrested. MARTINSVILLE. Ind., May 8.—Bedford Kent who cut N6ah King's throat from ear to ear, in November, 1893, at a protracted meeting in Willow Grove schoolhouse, this county, has at last been arrested in Marshall, His. The sheriff has gone there for Kent, who has been a fugitive from justice since the night of the murder.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN.
GREENFIELD, INDIANA FRIDAY EVENfNG MAY 8 1896
v«- «•, A
LEGISLATION BLOCKED.
One Mail's Power Made Manifest fn the Lower House of Congress. WASHINGTON, May 8.—The net result of a three and a half hours' session of the house yesterday was the passage of a bill to amend the act creating the court of appeals so as to allow appeals from the st^reme courts of the territories to the court of appeals. Mr. Pickler (Rep., S. D.) attempted to secure his revenge for the defeat he suffered Wednesday night when the house refused to remain in session to pass private pension bills, by blocking legislation yesterday. He made the point of no quorum at every opportunity and finally the house losing patience adjourned. Mr. Pickler threatens to keep up his tactics until he accomplishes his object, which he says is to secure further consideration for private pension bills.
Bond Inquiry Will Be Made. WASHINGTON, May 8.—By the decisive vote of 51 to 6 the senate yesterday inaugurated an investigation, to be conducted by the senate committee on finance, into the facts and circumstances connected with the sale of United States bonds by the secretary of the treasury during the last three years. The six adverse votes were cast by Senators Caffery of Louisiana, Faulkner of West Virginia, Gray of Delaware, Hill of New York, Mitchell of Wisconsin and Palmer of Illinois, all Democrats.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.
An Animated Fight Over the Money Question the Main Feature. DETROIT, May 8.—An animated fight over the money question was the most striking feature of the Michigan Republican convention yesterday. It resulted in squelching both the gold plank offered by the majority and the silver plank submitted by the minority of the resolutions committee and the substitution ther jfor of the money plank of the Minneapolis platform of 1892. McKinley was endorsed most unequivocally and the delegates were strongly instructed in his favor.
The four delegates at large are General Russell A. Alger, Thomas O'Brien, John Duncan and Mark S. Brewer.
The alternates are O. S. Kelsey, Henry A. Haigh, George H. Kempf and Isaac O. Washington, colored.
J. O. Gray of Kallaska and Charles Flowers of Detroit were selected presidential electors.
D. M. Ferry was chosen chairman of the state central committee, but it is not certain that he will accept the post, both himself and General Alger, whose name was also presented, having declined the honor in advance.

FOE LITTLE FOLKS.
Skipping the Rope.
Winter time has fled away, Spring has had her gentle sway, Summer surely must be near, When the skipping ropes appear.
With a skip, skip, And a trip, trip, As thus we rise and fall.
In yard and street The little, feet Are coming to the calll
Oh, BO many tricks to do That our mothers also knew— "In the Front Door," "BakingBread," "Chase the Fox" and "Needle Thread."
With a skip, skip, And trip, trip, For so the loader saith
With a hop, jump, And 11 thump, thump, Until you're out of hreath.
Hear the counting, sure and slow To a hundred they must go. Not a hand or arm should swerve, While the rope describes its curve,
With a skip, skip, And a trip, trip. Until the task is done
With cheeks so red, And ruffled head— Bravo, my little one I
Boys may leap and vault so high. But none was ever known to try To master this soft, little spring That is so intricate a thing,
With a skip, skip, And a trip, trip— Oh, may always hear
That pit pat pit That seems to fit This blossom time of year I —Anna R. Patten in St. Nicholas.
Indian Children.
Although Indian children have their games and good times as well as their more civilized brothers and sisters, they also have much hard work to do and are taught to help their poor tired mothers almost as soon as they learn to walk. One of the principal duties of Indian children is that of supplying their camp or village with water. These camps are always near a river or stream, for of course wandering tribes of Indians cannot have wells or cisterns, and from the river the children must carry up to the lodges all the water used in cooking.
In this work they call to their aid their playmates, the dogs, always plentiful in Indian villages. To the collars of the dogs are fastened two long, light poles, one on each side, that drag on the ground some distance behind them. On these poles, about half way to the ground, is fixed the kettle or earthen jar that is to be filled with water, and then the dogs are driven down to the river.
Some of the larger boys have ponies, to which they attach heavier poles in the same way that the light ones are fastened to the dogs, and on which they can carry as much as a barrel of water at a time.
At the river side the children have great fun while filling their various jars and kettles. They duck and splash each other, run, scream, laugh and often forget entirely that the village is waiting for its daily supply of water, until the shrill voice of some squaw mother warns thesa that they are neglecting their duty, and if they do not attend to it at once they will have to .suffer tlio consequences. —Detroit Free Press.
The Art of Studying.
A girl who entered the manual training school two months ago complains of the lessons she has to learn—so many pages of one study and so many of another. Just think of it 1 The actual number certainly appeared formidable, but an investigation would no doubt prove that what she really had to learn was a lesson of fair length. The secret of study in the higher branches is to read the pages assigned slowly and carefully, making mental note of—or marking if you dare not trust your memory—thoso parts which you feel need to be learned by heart. You will be astonished at the shortness of the list. One reading will fix the incidents 0) ten pages of history well in mind. The dates and names would not fill half a page. The same is true of spelling. Suppose your teacher glvM you two or three pages from "Evangeline'' or a history or geography. The way to learn the lesson is to select the wards which have silent or double letters, those involving ei or ie. Leasn that
list and you will have accomplished irM yoxur teacher intended you to do. «~8rMkljra Ea^l*.
