Kelgwln Nominated for Congross by Acclamation. Special to the Indiananolis Journal. Jeffersonville, Aug. 28. —The Republicans of the Third congressional district held their nominating convention at Mozart Hall, in this' eity, this afternoon. Every county in the district was fully represented, and the attendance of spectators was sufficient to fill the large hall The spirit of the convention was enthusiastic, and this enthusiasm manifested itself at every •tage of the proceedings. One of the remarkable features of the convention was the presence of a number of Democrats who have lately given in their adhesion to the Republican party. Sevtral of these were men of prominence and influence—all of them full of zeal for the political faith they have recently embraced. To the Democrats present the sight was one that was impressive and full of bitter grief. A number of Irishmen, who have renounced Democracy, apparently were the happiest, best satisfied men in the convention hall. Jennings, Jackson, Scott, Washington, Floyd oarrison and Crawford counties sent full delegations of the very best men in the respective Bounties. The Journal correspondent interviewed prominent men from each of these counties, asking if there were any defections in their counties from the Republicans. “Not one," was the answer he received from everyone spoken to. “Do you know of any Democrats who have come over go the Republicans!" was also asked. “Yes; a Sjrfiber,” was invariably the answer. Said a gentleman from Floyd county: “I could give you the names of over sixty Democrats in New

Albany alone who have renounced the Democratic party and are for Blaine and Logan. I know a dozen more who will vote for Butler; and every St John-Prohibitlon man in the city, except one, is a Democrat” Other gentlemen from Floyd county confirmed this statement. Said one gentleman: “Only one man in Floyd county has left the Republicans and gone over to Cleveland.” The convention was called to order at 2:30 o'clock by Captain M. M. Hurley, chairman of the district central committee, who briefly addressed the delegates as to the duties they were met to perform. Hon. William T. Walker, of Scott county, was elected chairman, and on taking the chair made a stirring speech. W. S. Ferrier, of Clark, was chosen secretary. When the call was made for the announcement of candidates for the congressional nominations, Scott county named Col. James A. Keigwin, of Jeffersonville. The announcement of CoL Keigwin’s name called forth the wildest applause, which was continued for several minutes, and repeated with deafening roar when Floyd, Crawford, Harrison and Washington counties seconded the nomination. Col. Keigwin was nominated by acclamation, amid the wildest excitement. A committee was appointed to notify CoL Keigwin of his nomination. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That the Republicans of the Third Indiana district view with alarm the tendencies to free trade of the Democratic party in Congress, which, if carried into execution, means one of two things: The reduction of wages of all classes of labor in our manufacturing industries and all dependent thereon, or a transfer of American manufacturing interests to Europe. We therefore declare that it is the policy of the Republican party to maintain the tariff so adjusted as to protect and foster our industries, encourage and promote the interests of labor, and build up home markets in the interest of the farmers. We heartily indorse as sound the American doctrine enunciated at Chicago and so ably expounded in the letters of acceptance of Hon. James G. Blaine and General John A. Logan.” Col. Keigwin was Introduced to the convcnventionand delivered a brief but eloquent speech, in which he gave his reasons for leaving the Democratic party and supporting Blaine and Logan. It was difficult to understand all CoL Keigwin said owing to the continued cheering of the convention. He was most sensibly affected and spoke out of the deepest feeling. He said he find all his life served the Democratic party; but now there were issues upon which he could no longer go with that party. He was for the protection of American labor, American manufacturers and all classes of American industry. He found the Democratic party antagonizing these interests and, with the majority in the lower House of Congress, attempting to force free trade upon the country. He had been a soldier. He entered the Union army at the commencement of the war, and fought as best he could until victory crowned the Union arms and the Union was saved from dissolution and dismemberment. He had not found the Democratic party the friend of the soldiers; but when the struggle was on and the danger most imminent, that party had declared the war a failure, and its votes had often been cast in Congress against sustaining the brave men in the field with materia^ aid. “Hereafter," said Colonel Keigwin, “I will be found battling with whatever ability I may possess, for the suocess of Republican principles and the Republican candidates. I expect to see the Republican standards planted again on the national capitol, where they have been floating in triumph over a prosperous and happy country for the past quarter of a century."

THE NOMINEE. Colonel James A. Keigwin is one of the bestknown men in the Third congressional district. During the war of the rebellion he commanded the Forty-ninth Indiana Infantry. A braver, or more gallant, or popular officer, did not have a command during that memorable struggle for the Union. Up to the present campaign he had always acted with the Democratic party. He is a man of the most genial social traits,' a fine speaker, an energetic and influential campaigned, and is certain to draw largely from the Democrats in his race for Congress. OTHER NOMINATIONS. The delegates from Floyd, Clark and Scott met in convention after the congressional nomination, and nominated Robert L. Howe, of Clark county, for joint representative. At the adjournment of this convention the delegates from Floyd and Clark counties met and nominated George B. Cardwell, of. New Albany, for prosecuting attorney. To-night the Republicans of Jeffersonville are holding a grand ratification meeting, at which the speakers are CoL Keigwin and Hon. Charles L. Holstein. It is one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations of the campaign. The Greenbackers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Jeefersonvillk, Aug. 28.—The Greenbackers of the Third congressional district, to the number of twenty-five, met at the court-house in this city, this afternoon, and nominated A. D, Hudson, of Jennings county, for Congress. The delegates from Floyd, Clark and Scott nominated Col. Thomas G. Morrison, of Floyd, for joint representative. The delegates from Floyd and Clark nominated Jacob * Herter, of Floyd, for prosecuting attorney. The delegates from Clark and Scott nominated George Brown, of Scott, for joint senator. THE STATE CANVASS. A Well-Known Benton County Democrat Enlists Under the Republican Banner. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Fowler, Aug. 28.—Isaac H. Phares, of this city, a life-long Democrat, and who has served eight years as recorder of Benton county, today pulishes a letter in the Fowler Era, withdrawing his allegiance from the Democratic party and declaring his intention of voting and acting with the Republicans hereafter. The letter is strong and pungent, and defines his position very clearly. The main point in the letter is to the effect that the Republican part is nearest to the people, and is willing to trust the honesty and judgment of the people. Democratic politicians are greatly exercised over the matter, and are wondering what they will do to counteract the influence. Mr. Phares is one of the best citizens, a gentleman of high moral standing, and bis open and manly course will carry great weight with it He is being congratulated by Republicans, and he will be a worthy and valuable acqusition to the party in Benton county. Democratic Hoodlums in Daviess County. Correspondence of the Ihdianapoli* Journal. Washington, Aug. 28.—The campaign in this county, as far as the Republicans are concerned, has opened in earnest Almost nightly, at some point in the county, an enthusiastic meeting is held. The Democrats, on the contrary, exhibit a painful lack of enthusiasm, and it is no uncommon occurrence to hear of Republican accessions at the expense of the Democracy. W. R. Myers delivered a most edifying discourse, on Saturday evening, to the local De - mocracy, strengthened by the Vincennes bummer element, captained by the Hon. T. R. Cobb. Mr. Myers had prepared manuscript for an indoor speech, ar.d when he discovered that, on account of the boisterous crowd, he would be obliged to speak in the court-lionse yard, he was in a most embarrassing predicament; as was amply proven by the dismal failure he made of his speech. His shameful abuse of e<President Hayes was notfWgotten by respectable citizens, who absented themselves from the disgraceful proceedings. The Vincennes crowd on the return trip annoyed the train men by setting up the brakes, and otherwise amusing themselves, and so delayed the train that it was obliged to await the arrival of other trains at a way-station for several hours. The crowd became furious, and blamed the Republican railway officials and Mr.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 18S4.

Cobb, the author of the great railroad land bill, wished to “settle it - ’ in a pugilistic affray with the engineer. The mill, however, could not ha arranged, and the M. C. was obliged to withdraw in a most uncongreesional way, leaving the engineer slightly disfigured, but still in the ring. Hon. G. W. Friedley, of Bedford, will address the Blaine and Logan club, here, Aug. 30. John F, Scanlan at Colnmbns. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Aug. 28.—The first general Republican meeting of the campaign was held here last night, addressed by Hon. John F. Scanlan. The court-house was crowded and many went away unable to find even standing room. A desperate effort, amounting almost to bull-doz-ing, was made to prevent Irish voters from attending, but a goodly number were present, nevertheless. Mr. Scanlan's plea in behalf of home industries and home labor was a noble one, finding an echo in every heart, and was heartily indorsed. The effect of the meeting and the speech are plainly visible to-day, and the Democrats are “rattled.” Men gather in groups on the streets and discuss it, and on every hand is manifested an overwhelming sentiment in favor of home protection. The Irish in this county are in revolt, and unceasing efforts are being made to whip them back into the ranks, but with only partial success. Look for a good report from Bartholomew in November. Cheering News from Delaware County. Correspondence of fha Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Aug. 28.—The political situation in this county daily grows brighter for the Republicans. Blaine and Logan clubs have been organized in every township in the county, and tonight Walling’s Hall, the present court-room in this city, is crowded with an enthusiastic gathering of Republicans, met for the purpose of organizing a central club. . Good work has been done by the central committee and local speakers, and never, perhaps, so early in the campaign did such enthusiasm and good feeling prevail. ■ Arrangements are making for a grand and formal opening of tho campaign here to-morrow night, when Hon. W. C. Wilson, candidate for Attorney-general, is to be present and speak. Several accessions for the State and national ticket have been made from the ranks of the Democratic party, and it is now believed that the vote for Blaine in this county will exceeed that for Garfield in 1880. T. P. Keator at Angola. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Angola, Aug. 28. —Wednesday evening the regular weekly meeting of the Angola Blaine and Logan club was held. Our candidate for Congress, T. P. Keator, was in town on a business trip, this being his last week as commercial traveler. Os course he attended the meeting, and made one of the speeches. The questions of the day were handled in such a masterly way as to bring out many rounds of applause, ana at the close of the speech the audience joined with the chairman in three cheers for T. P. Keator. We have had no more enthusiastic meeting here for many years. Mr. Keator makes the tariff question one of the most vital of tho campaign. Should Judge Lowry dare to meet him in joint discussion there will be a much-worried judge. A challenge has been sent him through the chairman of the central committee of this district; but for some reason acceptance is long delayed. Hon. B. C. Hobbs at Spiceland. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal-. Spiceland, Aug. 28.-*-Hon. Barnabas C. Hobbs spoke here last night tj a large audience. He ably discussed the following questions of the campaign: International arbitration, public schools, and temperance. He proved Yoorhees, by his Terre Haute speech, to be wrongly informed in regard to the Democrats being the authors of our public school system. He is doing a good work among those who think to advance the cause of temperance bv voting for a temperance ticket Siuce he has spoken in this and Parke counties we hear of quite a number being convinced that the proper way for them to work is to stay with the Republican party. The vote in this county for the Prohibition ticket will be smalL Joint Senatorial Convention. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Shelbyville, Aug. 28.—The Republican joint senatorial convention for the counties of Shelby and Decatur, to nominate a candidate to succeed Senator F. M. Howard, who was nomin ated by the Democracy at Greensburg, a short time ago, defeating Joseph L. Carson,’of Shelby, was held at Sindlingers Hall, in this city, today. The convention convened at 2 o'clock, and David L. Wilson, of Shelby, was selected as chairman, and W. R. Pleak, of Decatur county, as secretary. Hon. Benjamin F. Love, of this city, was nominated by acclamation for the office, amid great enthusiasm. He will undoubtedly be elected by a handsome majority.

Campaign Notes. Hon. Will Cumback started last evening for Maine, where ho will make several speeches. The following additional Blaine and Logan clubs have been organized in Jackson county: Beech Grove, Isaiah Bedel, president;, Parker Carpenter, John Q. Foster, secretaries. Tampicoa, Jesse Cox, president; Wra. Endebrock, J. F. Keach, secretaries. Spraytown, Jesse C. Lucas, president: L. J. Estep, Wm. Lamport, secretaries. There are now fifteen clubs in the county. At a special meeting of the Blaine and Logan ciubs of Seymour it was decided to gieet the Hon. John F. Scanlan with a torchlight procession and transparencies. In this procession will march some eight or ten of this year's converts to Republican ranks, several of whom were enthusiastic and leading members of the Hancock club in 1880, and who carried torches upon several occasions throughout the last campaign. Sheridan in New Hampshire. Weirs, N. H., Aug. 28.—General Sheridan had a most enthusiastic reception here, upon the occasion of his visit to the encampment of the New Hampshire Veteran Association. Cannon boomed forth on his arrival, the band played “Hail to the Chief,” and from 15,000 throats went forth welcoming cheers. General Sheridan made the following short address in response to the warm greeting: “Comrades: I nave heard that cheering before. I did not come to make a speech, but to meet you all and to get close to you again. I am proud of the troops who fought under me in the war from New Hampshire; 1 have always retained for them the tenderest sentiments of friendship. I came to this reunion to see and shake hands with you, and the talking must be done by the Governor and others who came already primed. lam glad to see this gathering. It is very interesting to me. I will be glad to see all who will call upon me at the close of these exercises. I thank you for your kindness, and will always retain memories of this occasion." At the close General Sheridan was loudly cheered. He was followed by the orator of the day—M. A. Haines. Did the Tallapoosa’s Officers Have Good Eyes? Philadelphia, Aug. 28. —The Medical News says: “In the official inquiry about to be held, we hope the Navy Department will direct that a special investigation be made, by medical experts, concerning the color vision and acuity of sight of all the officers and men of the Tallapoosa, whose duty it was to -have seen the lights of the colliding schooner, and thus definitely determine if defective color vision, the existence of which had not been previously ascertained, was responsible for the sinking of the Tallapoosa.” Beaten with a Coupling-Fin. Minneapolis, Aug. 28.—D. P. Bloomer, a traveling salesman for Weidraan & Cos., of New York citv, was found iu his bed at the Nicollet House, this morning, in an unconscious condition, he having been murderously assaulted during the night, by an unknown party. A railroad coupling-pm was found iu his room by his bedside. Bloomer’s head and face were frightfully out and bruised, and the physicians doubt his recovery. There is not the slightest clew to the perpetrators. Robbery is presumed to have been the object.

THE DRILL AT LOUISVILLE. The Tredway Rifles Will Probably Take First and the Light Infantry Second Place. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Louisville. Aug. 28.—The prize drill at the Exposition grounds was concluded to-day. Three companies entered for to-day’s contest, but the Brookfield Guards, of Brookfield, Mo., withdrew, leaving the Tredway Rifles, of St. Louis, and the Indianapolis Light Infantry the only contestants. Fully 1,500 people filled the immense amphitheater erected on the drill grounds. The, drill proved very interesting. The Tredway Rifles appeared first, putting up one of the most perfect drills ever seen here. They are a fine-looking body of men, and as they filed into the grounds with clock-like precision were greeted with rounds of applause. Their drill was excellent throughout, and the field movements were executed in a style hard to improve upon. The movements were frequently applauded, and at the close of the drill the shouting and hand-clapping lasted several minutes. The appearance of the Indianapolis Light In fantry was greeted with noisy demonstrations by their many friends in the vast crowd. Kind feeling for the crack Hoosier company seemed general. The company presented a most excellent appearance, and their drill was almost perfection, comparing favorably with their competitors. At first their movements seemed sluggish and evdked but little enthusiasm. The first movement of notable excellence was the execution of left turn into line, and it was so perfect as to call forth deafening plaudits from the crowd, the Indianapolis excursionists, who came down to shout for their favorites, being easily located by their noise. Great good feeling prevailed, and when other movements of su perior excellence were made —“by the left flank, march;” “march by the left flank;” “form line to the front;” “single line, left in double line, double quick time,” and “break to the front in column of platoons from the left,” the applause continued long and loud. The last movement was the best made by any company competing, and old soldiers say it could not be excelled. At the conclusion of the drill the company joined the other companies in a regimental review and dress parade, which was the most imposing military spectacle ever witnessed in the West. The result will not be announced before to-morrow, at noon, as the judges are not ready to report. Tho prizes will also be awarded tomorrow, when it is expected a very large crowd will b? present to witness the ceremonies. Careful inquiry among military experts and ex-sol-diers develops the fact that first money is generally conceded to the Tredway Rifles, but many think the Indianapolis company may get it These two, and the Porter Rifles, of Nashville, .are the leaders for the first prize. One old colonel places the competitors as follows: Tredway first, Indianapolis second, Porter Rifles or Montgomery Greys third. An Associated Press dispatch says: “The opinion of ex-soldiers and military experts generally is that the Tredway Rifles will get first money; the Porter Rifles, of Nashille, second, and the Montgomery Greys, of Montgomery, Ala., or the Indianapolis Light Infantry, third.” THE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION.

St. Louis, Aug. 28.—A suit is being entered in the Circuit Court here which is likely to attract a good deal of attention, particularly in Catholic circles. The style of the suit is “S. Auguste Chouteau and Ada R. Taylor Chouteau, his wife, against the Visitation Convent, a corporation of this city, Robt. McNichols trustee, and others.” The history of the case, briefly stated, is as follows: Miss Louisa K. Taylor, a sisterarf Mrs. Chouteau and daughter of the late George R. Taylor, a very wealthy and wellknown citizen of St. Louis, was educated under the influences of the order of St. Francis De Sales; some two years ago she announced her determination to become a nun, and, although opposed by her family,did enter the Convent of the Visitation. Prior to this, however, she voluntarily conveyed her property, estimated to be worth SIOO,OOO, to her sister Ada, who was then unmarried, under a written agreement that she expected to take monastic vows with the order of St Francis De Sales, but should she not do so, or entering and afterwards severing her connection with the order, the property was to be restored to her. Some mouths ago Miss Taylor left the convent, and announced, it is said, that she had withdrawn from the order, and asked for restoration of her property. Her sister, suspecting tho sincerity of ner act, demurred to giving back the property, and Miss Taylor brought suit to reoover. Mrs. Chouteau, not desiring to enter into litigation, reconveyed the property, and a short time afterward Miss Taylor transferred it alj to Robert McNichols, as trustee, for the use of the Convent of the Visitation. A few weeks later Miss Taylor re-entered the convent, and took the black veil. The plaintiffs, in their petition, allege fraud and collusion against the officials of the convent, charging them with using undue influence with Miss Taylor, and entering into a scheme to obtain the property.

Monterey, Cal., Aug. 28.—The one hundredth anniversary of the death of Padre Junipero Senna, a pioneer of Catholic missions in this State, was celebrated to-day, with all the im posing ceremonial observances of the Roman Catholic Church. This illustrious churchman was born in Majorca. At the age of nineteen he took- the vows of the Franciscans, and came to Mexico in 1750, where he remained seventeen years. He was then appointed president of all the missions of Lower California. He came to Upper California in 1769, and settled at this place in 1770, where he founded the San Carlos mission, and caused to be erected the San Carlos monastery, which was lately repaired in anticipation of the anniversary of his death. His burial place remained a secret for ninety-eight years. The celebration to day was attended by representatives of all the prominent Roman Catholic churches, besides delegates from the California Pioneers, and many civic military bodies.

Washington Special to St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The secret of the loves of Mr. Dana and the Widow Butler, too long hidden from the cold eyes of an unsympathizing public, has just come to light. Stowed away in the musty archives of the War Department, a correspondence has been unearthed, by the merest accident, which shows the gallant in the strange light of an alleged dealer in contraband goods. The papers, Stained and yellow with age, can be seen by any one desirous of inquiring into the matter, or part of the correspondence may be found in General Baker’s well-known “History of the Secret Service.” One of the official letters is dated Washington, Jan. 26, 1860, and is addressed to “0. A. Secretary of War.” The writer is h. C. Baker, brigadiergeneral and chief of the , national police. He has been ordered to inquire into certain illegal and treasonable transactions done under the recommendation of Major-general Butler, “regardless of every motive but the sordid one of amassing wealth at the expense of tho very lifeblood of this country.” In reply, General Baker says: “During the latter part of last year, one G. M. Lane, upon the recommendation of Major-general Butler, procured permission to carry to North Carolina articles not of a contraband nature, consisting of hoop-skirts, ladies' wearing apparel, etc., and received in return cotton. Lane loaded his steamer, the Philadelphia, not with articles specified, but with salt, coffee, pork, molasses, etc., and delivered them to Major J. R. White, agent for confederate supplies. General Butler’s brother-in-law, Mr. Hildreth, is partner of this Lane, and has received in one case alone a fee of $7,000, besides other fees." The letter goes on to give a list of firms “sucking the life-blood of the Nation,” through peculiar privileges conferred by Lane * Hildreth, all done under protection of General Butler’s orders. “George A. Johnson, late adjutant-general under General B. F. Butler and others,” the letter states, “have several stores near Oomjaek, Currituck county, North Carolina, and are reported to have g ild In two months $200,000 worth of contraband goods. ” After reciting instances where descriptions of detectives were furnished the confederates, the letter concludes, “And it can be dearly shown that a large portion of these goods have gone directly to the rebel General Lee’s army." There is no record that Mr. Dana took any measures against General Butler looking to the revoking of Lane ft Hildreth's strange permit The Heathen Rage. Chicago News. It will cause the Indianapolis Times untold anguish to know that Mr. John C. New has prospered to such an extent In a worldly why that he will hereafter publish a Sunday edition of his excellent paper, the Indianapolis Journal. Mr. New is a man of affairs. He seems to think nothing of conducting a State oampaign, assisting in the management of a national oampaign, and at the same time editing the best daily paper in Indiana, if not the best In tRe provincial West Mr. New loves work. What most mep consider work ho regards simply play. We reremember having gone around to the Palmer House one day in the week preceding the na-

tional Republican convention season to secure a press ticket for tho editor of the Paw Paw (Mich.) True Northerner; Mr. New- had charge of the press tickets, and his room was filled with metropolitan and provincial journalists from all parts of the country. Ten or twelve pale, wan, worn-looking men, propped up in chairs and sweating profusely, were ensconced behind a railing, answering the questions of tho howling mob. We were told that these invalids were Mr. New's clerks; that he had hired them ten days before, when they were hale, robust men, but tho work he imposed upon them had worn them down to mere shadows of their former selves. “But where is Mr. Now?” we asked. We were directed to a short, stout, clean-looking old gentleman who sat behind a walnut desk, an iron-gray beard, and a pair of silver-bowed spectacles. in the comer; he wore a nobby seersucker suit, and looked as cool as a encumber and fresh as a daisy. We were amazed at the self-posses-sion, the Spartan calmness, the heroic imperturbability of the man in the midst of all,this clangor and rioting. He had completely worn out a dozen clerks; yet there he sat, cool, calm and smiling, with a seething, howling mob around him and the thermometer at 94 degrees. We. approached him and requested a press ticket for our friend, the editor of the Paw Paw True Northerner. “Wait ono moment," said he, pleasantly. He was writing. We could not refrain from glancing over his shoulder at the voluminous manuscript that floated from beneath the magic touches of his pen. It was a placid and thoughtful editorial upon the subject of the “Apple Crop Prospect in Posey County.” Bryant's Business College gives individual instruction and pupils are received at any time, but the fall term (both day and evening) for all departments opens September 1.
