More Carelessness of Postoflflce Employes. A letter addressed to Mrs. M. H. Bushonguo, was received at tbe postoffice, in this city, on Aug. 10, and, although inquiries were made for it daily, it was not delivered until yesterday. Three letters’wer9 sent to the same lady from Lafayette, a short time ago, inform-ng her of the death of her sister, but none of them were delivered until after the deceased had been buried a week. Last week, the letter-box at the corner of Home and College avenues was so packed with tatters and postal cards that it was imoossible to Sitinone more letter, and it is said that at ast two dozen could have been taken out, had any person been disposed to remove them. Complaint is made that the letter-boxes are fretjnentiy dot emptied until they are completely The Coming Railroad Fair. The railroad fair commences next Tuesday and continues to Sept 10.

A. C. lIARRIS FOR CONGRESS, Nominated as the Candidate of the Republicans of the Seventh District. A Largely-Attended Convention in Which There Was Much Ent hnsiasm—Sid Conger Nominated for Joint Representative. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Addison C. Harris Receives a Majority of Four Votes—The Speeches. In appearance the Republican congressional convention, which was held in the Criminal Court room yesterday, was strikingly in contrast with the turbulent body which assembled at the same place on the 27th of last May to nominate a Democratic candidate, and in its exuberance of spirit named two, who have since been engaged in making political life very warm and interesting for each other. In the convention yesterday, there was much genuine enthusiasm, and it was given expression freely and appropriately. The court-room *as crowded, . and many were unable to gain admittance. Among the prominent Republicans present as observers of the proceedings were many from outside the district, who are in the city to attend the State convention to-day. Although the delegates began to gather early after noon, it was 1:30 o’clock when D. M. Ransdell, the chairman of the district committee, called the convention to order. The roll-call showed that five of the Marion county delegates were absent, and the convention authorized the filling of their pluses by the delegates who were present. Mr. Boice reported that there was a contesting delegation from the third precinct of the Second ward, and therefore, on the motion of R. O. Hawkins, a committee on credentials, consisting of Ferd Winter, H. J. Prier, and Milton Connett, of Marion; Mr. Byers, of Shelby, and George Nicholl, of Madison. The committee was instructed to return with a report on the contest within fifteen minutes, but it was absent half an hour, and, as the temporary chairman ruled that the convention could not proceed with the permanent organization until the contest had been decided, there were calls during the interval for speeches from W. W. Herod, John B. Elam, John M. Butler and State Senator L. M. Campbell, of Danville. Mr. Herod made a brief, but happy response, declining to make a speech. State Senator Campbell made a few remarks, giving briefly some of the reasons why Republicans should be proud of their party’s record. The committee on credentials came into the room while he was talking, and at the conclusion of Senator Campbell’s remarks Mr. Winter presented a report in behalf of a majority of the committee, stating that it appeared from the testimony that there had been some irregularities at the primary, but it was difficult for the committee to determine just how it affected the two tickets. It recommended, as a compromise, that Messrs. Boice and Carson, representing each of the contesting delegations, should be seated. A minority report was presented by Milton Connett, recommending that Messrs. Pattison and Carson be recognized as the delegates. Mr. Berryman, of Shelby county, moved to lay the minority report on the table, but It was declared out of order, as, also, was a proposition for the adoption of the majority report. The vote on the minority report resulted in its rejection by 134 to 84. The majority report was then adopted without a dissenting vote. Charles L. Henry, of Madison county, was elected permanent chairman- by acclamation. Mr. Henry, on taking the chair, said that for the first time sioce the last change of mind by the Democratic Legislature the Republicans of the district were met in convention. Unable to read the future, he could not tell what counties may be represented in the next. It was arranged for favorite statesmen, and they concluded it would bffif S little more, so they had added Madison county. TLey thought that by adding one county after another they could keep this district Democratic. They forgot the story of the old man who began by lifting a calf day by day, and was enabled to lift it over the fence when it became an ox. Prove to them that the Republicans have grown constantly in strength, after Madison county has been added, can lift 4he whole ox over the fence next November, and show this to be a Republican district. Charles Horton, of this city, and Charles X. Matthews, of Shelbyville, were made secretaries. W. H. Morrison, of this city, moved that no speeches should be allowed in presenting the names of candidates. Mr. Berryman, of Shelby, proposed an amendment limiting the speeches to five minutes, which was adopted. Mr. W. C. David, of this city, in presenting to the convention the mane of Major Holstein, spoke of him as one who could rally as many hustlers as any man; as one who, while a beardless boy, when his country called for men, took his place and wgnt to the front as a soldier; who served from the firing of the first gun at Philippi until the last one at Appomattox; a man who has at all times responded to the call of his party from the day of his return from the war until the present time. "If you give us Charles L. Holstein to lead us in the Seventh district,” he 6aid, "we will place him in the halls of Congress to face the rebel brigadiers as he faced them on the field of battle.” The nomination of Mr. Holstein was seconded by Mr. Berryman, "in behalf of a large majority of the Republicans of Shelby epunty;” by a delegate from Hancock in behalf of the soldiers, and by a delegate from Madison county. The nominating speech of Mr. David and the seconds to it from the different delegations were received with enthusiasm, the cheering being loud and prolonged. Mr. William Bosson, of this city, in placing in nomination Mr. A. C. Harriß, said that be was fully competent, was a man of pure principles, high intellectual attainments, noble personal character, was a worker and orator, with ability to represent the Republican party in Congress. It was proposed that the call of the counties should be in the following order: Hancock, Madison, Shelby, tno out-townships of Marion and the city wards. There was objection to this, and the motion was defeated. It was decided that the counties should be called in the order that they are enumerated in the statute creating the district. The ballot resulted as follows:

Mr. Harris was loudly called for, and, in response, apbeared before the convention. He said: Republicans of the Seventh Congressional District—l wish to thank you and my earnest friends for the honor of this nomination. I wish to say that I was not the candidate of any clique or ring, and gave no assent to any such thing. Every person who knows anything about the canvass in this county ean bear witness to this. I was the choice of the people. In the early part of this campaign I went to my gallant friend, Major Holstein, whom T have known long and well, and whom I esteem as highly as can any of his most earnest friends. 1 assured him that in this canvass there should be nothing but an earnest, honorable rivalry between us. So far as lam concerned, and, I believe, so far as he ia concerned, each of us has striven to gain the esteem of those composing this eonvention.

CONGER FOR REPRESENTATIVE. A Popular Shelby County Farmer Nominated by the Joint Representative Convention, The Republican joint representative conven tion, to nominnte a candidate for Representative from the counties of Marion, Hancock and Shelby, met yesterday forenoon, at 11 o’clock, in the Criminal Court room. Dan M. Ransdall, committeeman of the Seventh district, called the convention to order. The roll was called by William Pattison. Os the delegates, Marion being entitled to 144, Shelby 28, Hancock 18, twenty-one were absent. On motion, the other members of the delegation were allowed to enst the vote of the absentees. Hon. John B. Elam, of Marion, was made chairman by a unanimous vote. William A. Van Buren, of Marion, was chosen secretary, Charles X. Matthews, cf Shelby, and E. E. Stoner, of Hancock, assistants. The names of George W. Stubbs, Walter W. Davy and W. J. Nichols, of Marion; DltVlri F. Howk, of Hancock, and Sidney Conger, of Shelby, were placed in nomination. From the announcement of Mr. Conger’s name it was evi- i dent that he was to be the choice of the convention: Is prctciitinz bi 2 ErtluS, Hon. Nelson Berryman said: "What we want is a candidate who can get votes. We have a man who in 1882, when Shelby county had a Democratic majority of 1,000, carried that county for sheriff by a majority of 400, and can do it again. He is a farmer, and claims to raise better Jersey cows and bettor chickens than any man in the State. Whether this is true or not, we know hi3 worth as an organizer, and as a thoroughgoing Repubfican, and that he can carry votes, Shelby county puts in nomination Sidney Conger.” The roll was called and the ballot taken showed the vote to be as follows: Stubbs, 62; Davy, 24; Nichols, 26; Conger, 59; Howk, 18. R. A. Black, of Hancock, withdrew the name of Mr. Howk. The name of Mr. Nichols was withdrawn. Mr. Stubbs came to the front and asked to withdraw his name from before the convention. Mr. Davy’s name was also withdrawn, and the nomination of Mr. Conger was made unanimous amid much enthusiasm. When called upon for a speech, he disclaimed being a speechmaker, but promised to do his best for the interest of the party. The convention then adjourned, having been in session less than an hour, the greater part of which time was taken up in seatine the delegates. Opening Day, Saturday, Sept 4. Dunlap’s Celebrated Hats.

political opponents have arranged the statute so as to prevent this capital district of Indiana from being represented by a Republican, that I have faith in the people of this district, and believe that this central district will be represented in Congress by a Republican. [Applause.] I believe it is this country’s interest and welfare to be controlled by the Republican party. The Republican party, for twenty-four years, administered the affaira of this Nation, and who is there to say they were not administered with honor, honesty and economy? [Applause.l In that period the power and wealth qf the country were doubled. If the same policy can again come into control, this country, at the end of years, will he resplendent with glory—such a country as the world never dreamed of. [ Applause. ] Tud party came from the loins of the people. It always seeks to carry out the wishes of the whole people. Now, what the people of this district and of this State want is that the Congress of the United States be arrested in its course when it comes to administering upon the pensions of soldiers. [Applause.] The people of this country believe that every man who has lost a limb, every man who has lost his health, and every man who has been rendered incapable in any way of earning his livelihood through service for his country should not go to the poor-house, but should be provided with comfort as long as he lives. [Applause.] That is my doctrine, and I undertake to say it is the doctrine of every Republican in this hail. A voice—Right you are. There is another thing: The Republican party is a party that desires to see the industries of this country again spring up. We want to hear the music of the spindle and the rich ring of the anvil. We want to see American steamers running to every port in the world, planned by American sailors, flying the stars and stripes and carrying American products and American handiwork all over the world. [Applause.] If I shall be your representative in the halls of Congress. as 1 believe I shall be, I shall use my voice and every effort I can to encourage and extend our commerce. The Republican party has always been the friend of free labor. It believes that every hand of toil should have opportunity in this great country to earn and receive honest wages for an honest day’s work. We believe it to be for the welfare of this country that its industries shall bo built up and that tire laboring man shall be protected and secured by a wise public policy in earning a competent livelihood. lam for that, and whatever votes I cast in the legislative halls of our country shall be to support and develop that doctrine of the Republican party. [Applause.] At the close of Mr. Harris’s remarks. Major Holsteiu was called for. He came forward and said: Fellow Republicans—First and foremost, I take this opportunity to say to my friends all over the district that I am indeed rich in thanks, though poor in the command of language to utter them. My friends each and every one know that their support of me has been according to their best judgment, and from high motives of party interest and the purest feeling of personal friendship. Such friends I am proud of. Their names are on my heart. I recognize the right of opinion in such matters of those who have opposed my candidacy from like motives. My candidacy in the beginning was not to gratify any personal ambition that I might entertain. I came before you then to lead a forlorn hope. I am willing again, if the chance shonld ever come when the Republicans want a forlorn hope led, to lead it. I go out of this convention a defeated man, but my friends will say without compromising their respect or confidence in the least. I wish to say this: Defeat leaves me no soreness, no bitterness, no complaints, no griefs. You have put the banner in the hands of another leader. This is a Republican district to-day by reason of the dissensions in the Democratic party. Victory is before us. The nominee of this convention has a sure triumph before him, a great opportunity, and as I know, ho will make the most of it. Let all understand, that I, a volunteer, take my place in the ranks once more. The remarks of Major Holstein were warmly applauded, and the convention, having no further business before it, adjourned.
