THE COUNTY NOMINATIONS. The Convention on Saturday—Ross for Sheirff ami Smart for Treasurer. The Republican convention for nominating candidates for the county offices, held at English’s Opera-house last Saturday, was as enthusiastic and harmonious as any large and spirited political gathering could have well been. The opera-house building was crowded almost to a crush. The delegates numbered 540, and w ere all seated on the first floor, and a hundred or more well-kuown persons wore seated on the stage. Daniel M. Ransdell, chairman of the county committe, called the convention to order at 10:20 o'clock, and Granville S. Wright called the roll of wards and townships. General A. D. Streight and John B. Elam were nominated for the position of permanent chairman, and the ballots resulted in the election of Mr. Elam, who received 284 votes against 200 for General JStreight. Mr. Elam was received with enthusiastic applause upon assuming the duties of presiding officer. Ho addressed the convention as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the. Convention —Before entering upon the duties to which you have assigned me permit me to thank you for the compliment which you have paid me in selecting me to preside over your deliberations to-day. Permit me, also, a word of congratuhition upon the circumstances under which xve assemble as representative Republicans. Since last the Republicans of Marion county were in convention like this two years have passed. During that time many Republican prophecies have, a:, usual, passed into accomplished facts. Our ancient opponent has had some opportunity to prove the .truth of his professions and establish his right to public confidence. The results are before the country. I say to you note such results, and compare them to the same monotonous history for the past twenty-five yoai*s. It has been asserted that the mission of the Republican party was accomplished, and every day has brought proof that such was not the case. In the last campaign we listened to promises; we are now in the position to judge of the performance. Wit h absolute control of both branches of our State Legislature what was done? Make up the count that was accomplished for the benefit of the people, that may be set down to the credit of the General Assembly. That side of .the ledger will certainly be brief. I don’t think of a single entry that ought to be made there. 3lake up the other side of the account. Take room. Note the failure to make sufficient appropriations and the effort to coerce the executive department of the government by withholding appropriations until the Governor should approve of partisan legislation. Note the disgraceful wrangle of personal and selfish interests that consumed so much ti the session. Note the attempt to leave our State-house languishing while the money that should keep the hammer and saw at work was put out at interest. aiul not for the benefit of the State. Note the fact that, notwithstanding the abundant promises made in the districts where it would serve their pnrposes, it was promptly decided that the people should not vote directly on the amendments to their own Constitution. But time prevents a full list, and making the account for years, to see how it stands. In Ohio the great cities were carried by promises that they would repeal legislation obnoxious to certain interests. The rural districts were appeased by pledges that the wool-growing interests should be protected. In fan* summer weather, when the campaign was on, these promises sprang up and flourished, but opportunity for performance was given and there came a frost, a killing frost, and the dupes who relied on them have found this the winter of their discontent, both in Columbus and in Washington. In the affairs of the ration it is now perfectly evident that, the Democratic party, with its great majority in theHonse of Representatives, not only knows not what to do, but has no idea as to how to d<* it. [Laughter and applause.] Their candidate for President ought to be the distinguished representative from Indiana, who, when he reiterates every day his objections to anything that he thinks may benefit somebody else, expresses the only platform his party has had for twenty-five years. In local affairs here, if any man among us, who is not actuated by selfish and unworthy motives, has gained anything considerable by voting the Democratic ticket or scratching the Republican in favor of the Democratic ticket, I have yet to hear him make out his case. Wo are here to choose a portion of our standard-bearers for this campaign. The issues will soon be made up in a struggle, the result of which will be that either the Republicans or Democi*ais will control this government in all its departments for some time to come. Practical, thinking men. realizing the fact that concession is the very essence of intelligent practical work, will array themselves with one or the other of these great parties and do what they can in aecui-= ttiO best, possible uuruuiatioun <ui(l cllOOSe the best platform. Something in that direction may be done here by you to-day. The men who are either too good, or too bad, too foolish, or too wise, to fight with either of these great parties will, as usual, organize conventions, encourage discontent and card the newspapers. [Applause.] After the manner of the three tailors of Tooley street. they will tell from fime to time what the people want: and they will enjoy the campaign in that way, securing to themselves naught but harm, without any possibility of anything else. The names you put in the field cannot be defeated in a campaign such as the Republicans of Marion county know how to make. I look here today into the faces of men who have helped the old Republican ship to weather Cape Hatteras in many a stormy night. She ought not to be wrecked in this comparatively smooth sea npon which we are now afloat. Be not too enthusiastic; be not convinced that the world and all there is in it depends upon the nomfnation of your particular favorite. Devotion to favorites within certain limits is well enough. It is still tm, unouestionably, that seeking ami holding office is not the chief end of man. [Laughter.] If you look a little into the history of those who nave sought and held office you will readily discover that it is not always showing a man so much a favor as you think to nominate or to elect him to public office. I have had some experience in that. I counsel you now that every one should temper their enthusiasm, and that the defeated should not be too much cast down. [Laughter.] Exercise judgment and prudence,and the ticket that you nominate to-day must be elected. Marion county lias been rather a barren field for our opponents for the past twenty-five voars. They have gained but few victories, indeed, and the results of such as they have gained have not been such as to make their repetition easier. All that is required of us to-day is to do our duty carefully, honorably and wisely. Even in such lost battles as there havt#been we can take unto ourselves the consolation that we have voted for the party that always stood for something, and that in every emergency has had something to do; has had some definite idea, and had a way of doing it. And upon all these battle-fields I say we can reflect without shame, for we have made a manly stand for what we believed to be right, and carried our banners up to the very crest s of the enemy’s earthworks. Without consuming further time, let us, then, with moderation and with judgment, with forbearance, with decorum, proceed to the business tliat has brought us together. [Applause.] In effecting the permanent organization of the convention, D. B. Shideler was elected secretary, and Joseph B. Kealing, G. S. Wright, John C. Guisey, B. A. Richardson, H. S. Tincher, C. S. Denny, Frank Lindsay, M. G. McLain and Will Landis were chosen assistants. A committee on credentials, consisting of one delegate from each aldermanic district and one from each township, was appointed. During the absence of this committee a resolution denouncing the Metropolitan police law was offered, but was referred without reading to a committee consisting of William Irwin, H. E. Drew, Jesse Wright, Lee Fulmer and Dr. Henry Jameson. A brief address was delivered by General A. D. Streight, in response to calls for him, and at his suggestion the candidates seeking nomination were introduced. Brief speeches were afterward delivered by D. B. Shideler, Charles L. Holstein, Jonathan W. Gordon, Daniel W. Grubbs and General Carnahan. The report of the committee on credentials was presented, after an absence of less than an hour, upon the strength of which the delegation from the second precinct of the Third ward headed by N. R. Ruckle, the one from the sec ond precinct of the Fourteenth ward headed by Dr. Pettijohn, and the one from the second precinct of the Sixteenth ward, headed by Stevens, were given seats, after which the convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates. THE NOMINATIONS. The names presented to the convention for the nomination for sheriff were: Henry H. Beville. by General McGinnis; Major James R. Ross, by General Carnahan; John P. Parker, by Frank Hamilton; W. O. Patterson, by Jonathan W. Gordon; Captain Robert Harding, by J. W. Hess. Three ballots were taken before a nomi nation was reached, the result being as follows:

The names of Harding and Beville were withdrawn on the third ballot, and before the announcement of the result Major Gordon moved to make the nomination of Ross unanimous, which was done by a thundering vote. Major Ross briefly responded to the calls for him, thanking the"convention for his nomination, and Mr. I’atterson, in a most manly way, said that Major Ross would have his hearty support.

For the nomination for coroner the names proposed were Dr. W. E. Jeffries, James H. Taylor, T. M. Watson (colored), Theo. M. Wag ner and Dr. Bailey, of Southport. Two ballots were taken before- the nomination was made, Jeffries receiving 314 votes, Taylor 86, Watson 95, and Bailey 27, Dr. Wagners name being withdrawn. Joshua J. Cottingham, of tho Seventh ward, and H. B Fatout, who has held the office for nearly ten years, were named for the nomination for surveyor. Mr. Cottingham received 400 votes on the first ballot, and was declared nominated, after which the convention adjourned. THE CANDIDATES. The nominee for sheriff, Major James R. Ross, is well known. He was horn in August, 1841, at Bellefontnine, Ohio, and is, therefore, now for-ty-three years old. His boyhood was spent at Crawfordsville, his parents having moved there when he was quite young. In April, 1861, he enlisted in Company I, of the Eleventh Indiana regiment, for 100 days’ service, and at the end of that time he re-enlisted for three years. Ho was commissioned us first lieutenant of Company H, Eleventh regimont, and was promoted to captain of Company C in September, 1863. During a part of the time, however, he was on the staff of General Lew Wallace. In April, 1864. while at home on a furlough, he was appointed general staff officer, and was ordered to report to General Wallace, then in command of the Middle Maryland department, at Baltimore. He was with General Wallace during the remainder of the war. In 1865 he was breveted lieutenant-colonel, and at the close of the war was mustered out, having been in the service four years and a half. He was in the battles at Romney, Vn., Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Monocaey, besides a number of skirmishes. After the war he lived in Chicago for about seven years, and was employed for a long time as a commercial traveler. He came to Indianapolis in 1873, and has since been engaged in business here. All that lie possesses has been acquired through his own industry. He has been prominently connected with the local military organizations. Ho assisted in organizing the Indianapolis Light Infantry, and has held the offices of first lieutenant, second lieutenant and captain of the com pany- It was under his command that the prizes were won in the grand encampment last year. He is one of the oldest members of the Traveling Men’s Association, and is now the president of that organization. He ig a member of the Governor's staff, as Inspector-general of +he State, with tho rank of lieutenant-colonel. There is no one who is more popular with the young men of Indianapolis, and a better man could not have been nominated. He has always been a Republican and has never before been a candidate for office. Hezekiah Smart, the candidate for Treasurer, is a resident of Lawrence township, and is one of the substantial farmers of Marion county. His life has been one of industry, and he is esteemed by his fellow citizens for his integrity. He will make a good treasurer and will he a strong candidate. Tho South-Side is represented on tho ticked by Dr. W. E. Jeffries, the nominee for coroner He is a well-known physician and for several years was secretary of the city Board of Health. He was a Union soldier and belongs to a family all of whom were Democrats but himself. Mr. Cottingham, the nominee for surveyor, is an experienced civil engineer, and will make an efficient officer. Horsford's Acid Phosphate, INCOMPARABLE IN SICK HEADACHB. Dr. Fred Horner, jr,, Salem, Va., says: “To relieve the indigestion and so-called sick head ache, and mental depression incident to certain stages of rheumatism, it is incomparable.”

COMMEMORATING EASTER. Appropriate Services Held in Nearly All the Churches of the City. Easter was generally observed in the churches yesterday, the services in nearly all of them attracting large audiences. The various Catholic churches, St. John's, St. Mary’s, St. Joseph's, St. Patrick's, St. Bridget's ami the Church of the Sacred Heart, all attracted large audiences, and many children were confirmed. The observance of Easter is, so far as this city is concerned, increasing from year to year, not alone among members of the Catholic and Episcopal churches, but in thoso of other denominations. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCHES. The Easter services at St. Paul’s Cathedral began with early morning service, and communion at half past 7 o'clock. Tho regular services, with confirmation, Bishop Knickerbaeker officiating, were held at 10:30 a. m., eight persons being confirmed. At half past 3P. M. the beautiful and impressive Easter service of the Knights Templars was given by Bishop Knickerbaeker, assisted by Rev. Mr. Jcneks. J?he Bishop, previous to comiug here, was grand prelate of the order in Minnesota, while Air. Jencks has held the office of grand prelate of lowa. The ceremony was an exceedingly interesting one, and was attended by sixty members of Rapor Commnndery, in uniform, while members of the Scottish Rite and Master Masons’ lodges formed a great part of the audience. which was a large one, completely filling the cathedral. The music specially selected for this servico was very fine, the choir, consisting of Air, Frank Raschig, Air. Belcher, Airs. Wuest, Aliss Farren and Aliss Mull, being entitled to great praise. It was remarked that Airs. Wuest never sang better than yesterday. The Bishop’s discourse was peculiarly appropriate to the occasion and the audience, being pm the “Duty of Christian Knighthood,” and was replete with historical allusions of the crusades and the instituting of knighthood. In the evening carols were sung by the Sunday-schools of the cathedral and of St. James's mission. Tho Easter carol, "Christ, our Lord, is risen to-day,” was sung with special sweetness. At Christ Church services were held in the forenoon at 7 and 10:30, Rev. E. A. Bradley officiating. At 3p. si. a Sunday-school festival was held, in which the schools of Christ Church and St. George's Alission combined. At 7:30 P. M. the church, which was even more tastefully and profusely decorated than, at last Easter, was crowded, and as the services began many, unable to find room, were compelled to go away. The usual Easter music was given, and thirty persons were confirmed by the bishop, Rev. E. A. Bradley assisting. . The Church of the Holy Innocents had the usual Easter services, which were conducted by Air. A. W. Eaton, the lay reader in the church, that church having no rector. The Easter services at Meridian-street M. E. Church were of special interest. The noon hour was devoted to Scripture readings, recitations and songs appropriate to tho occasion, under the management ot the Sunday-school. The house was crowded and the interest in the services was more than ordinary, exhibiting skill in the preparation of the programme and no less skill in the execution. The singing was excellent and the floral offerings were tastefully arranged and quite profuse. Not the least interesting part of the exercises was the touching allusion to four of the very old members of the congregation who had died within the last six months, all more than eighty years of age—Airs. Lucinda Tousey, John F. Ramsey, William Smith and Chauncy G. Aloore; also to the younger persons, Jason S. Carey and Miss Alyra Lewis, all dying in hope of the resurrection through the resurrection commemorated by the Easter service. THE CONDITION OF THE INSANE. What Should Be Done To Care for the Unfortunate—Sample County Poor-Houses. “I tell you,” said a gentleman to the reporter yesterday, “that the Democratic scheme to build three new hospitals for the insane is a fraud. They will cost, completed, at least, $500,000. All the insane in Indiana that you could possibly get togeter outside of those now in the Hospital for the Insane, will not number a thousand—not anywhere near that number —and $150,000 spent in an addition to the institution in this city would amply provide for every one of them and for all reasonable demands for many years to come. Not one of these three new hospitals can be built and made ready for occupancy inside of six years, and in the meantime, what is to become of the insane who are kenneled in the filthy dens called poorhouses over the State! The board, which is Democratic, with Governor Porter at its head, should stop, if it is possible to do so, the building of all of these but one, and go ahead on that, complete and equip it in one year, and let the others go for future legislation. I would say finish the one at Evansville with the money on baud, and stop the others. Dr. Fletcher says that there is room for 250 women at the Hospital for the Insane, and I know the board has money; but, as stated by the Journal, I believe they hold on to it to make a good financial showing and a record of economy, at the expense of the good name of the people of this State.” The reporter, on inquiry, finds that tho daily expense per capita of maintaining patients at tne hospital for tho insane is a little less than eighteen cents, and the institution has saved over SIO,OOO during the past six months, the most expensive months in the year. The two hundred and forty or fifty women, who are now caged like beasts in the poor-liouses over the State, cost more for maintenance than that in the several counties among which they are distributed; but for the sake of humanity and decency the question of expense should not stand in tho way of doing what is so obviously necessary, the removal of of the wretched insane women from the poor houses to the State hospital. The reporter is informed that a woman returned from here to one of the northern counties as an incurable, but who is in every way harmless, is kept in the poor-house of that county, naked, in a pen. The same county that holds one of the largest and most handsomely endowed educational institutions in the State contains one of the worst of the county asylums, a poor-house in which the sexes are allowed to mingle without restraint, and where recently an insane woman was a victim of outrage by tramps. PERSONAL MENTION. Willis P. Ilumo, sr., publisher of the Marion, 0., Daily Star, is visiting relatives in this city. Rev. John Alabaster, D. D., discoursed, last evening, at Meridian-street M. E. Church, on the lesson of the late Cincinnati riot. Miss Maude Stuart will return to her homo in Indianapolis this week, to spend a few days with her mother and sisters, prior to going abroad next month. Hotel Arrivals. A R.

BANKRUPT BOOTS AND SHOES. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE OPENING OF THE ROCHESTER SHOE CO. The doors opened Saturday with tlie grandest rush ever known in this city. The spacious salesrooms, 1•' West Washington street, Iron Block, in spite ol‘the continuous rain, hardly contained the surging crowds, the management being compelled, several times, to close the doors. Men, women and children pushed and scrambled to gain admittance to the great sale of SHOES. Towards noon the fact was noised about of the ridiculously low prices Shoes were being sold at, and a personal visit verifying the truth, shoes went like “hot cakes,” and the bargains placed in front of the store vanished like “a cake of ice in the sun.” The man agement have every reason to be proud of the successful opening, as it but proves that Shoes "cost like fun’' in Indianapolis, and the Rochester Shoe Cos. will cut prices without fear. Cost is never considered. We fight monopoly, and mean to spoil the “soft snap” enjoyed by the high-priced shoe dealers in this city. We shall, without discrimination, wage war against all of them, and all such remarks as "shoddy,” "paper,” “slopshop,” etc., are anticipated by us and will be met with a ghastly and eye sore (to them) parade of the names of the manufacturers of the goods we slmll advertise. For instance, the well known Cox Shoes are sold by us at $1 less than other dealers (even than cheap calico shops). Store open from 0:45 a. m. till 9 p. in.; Satur days 11 p. m.

It will be the particular'care of The Journal during the year 1884, that its readers shall be kept fully informed, of matters connected with tire great presidential struggle upon which the country is about to enter, and with the no less important canvass for the new Congress to be chosen next November, as well as of ail othei important political movements. The financial and commercial department ol The JOURNAL includes full and accurate report* of all movements affecting the interests of capitalists and business men that occur in Europe or America.
