supporters, as they were tearing the hall, to “|go back and nominate me anyhow." There were About fifty fire who obeyed, and went back and nominated him. •The Democratic papers of the district, except the Evansville Tribune and Mount Vernon Star, bed McCullough's name up as the standardbearer for Congress, while these two papers stated there had been m nomination made; but that the convention had adjourned till Aug. 12, yrhen another convention would be held. The chairman of the district committee called the committee to meet in Evansville, July 2D, to appoint the place for holding the adjourned convention. All the members of the committee were there, four of them being Kleiner’s postmasters; and the committee, by a vote of five to two, decided that the convention had been held, and that McCullough was regularly nominated. It took but a short time for the news to spread over Evansville, and in an hour about fifty of the most influential Menzies men of that place met in secret session to denounce the action of the central committee. The same afternoon the Republicans of the district met in convection at Evansville and nominated Gen. Alvin P. Hovey for Congress. General Hovey is the father-in-law of Menzies, and upon his nomination Menzies withdrew from the race, so ae to give the old General a square whack at the Democratic candidate. As soon as General Hovey was nominated abont eight hundred Democrats came out equarely for him, and they are nearly every one working hard* for his election. They intend Sd put a stop to fraudulent nominations, and will make an example of Me- 1 Culiough. In Vanderburg county Hovey will not get less than four hundred Democratic votes, and will get plenty of scattering votes in Warrick, Spencer, Perry and Pike counties. Also in Gibson he will run ahead of the Republican State ticket, as McCullough isn’t lined any too well there. McCullough “rule or ruin" will cause the Democrats of this district to lose their representative in Congress, as his defeat is now a certain thing. He will fall short of election from 1,500 to 2,000, and it wouldn’t be surprising if more than that. The loss qf a Congressman to the Democrats of this district will not be the worst, as they will Tose four or five members of the Legislature. In the last session of the State Legislature there was but one Republican member from the First Congressional district —the member from Gibson county. At the election this fall the Republicans will elect the member from Gibson county, the two members from Vanderburg, the member from Warrick, the member from Pike, the member from Spencer, and, in all probability, the member from the gerrymandered district of Vanderburg, Gibson and Knox counties. This will give the Republicans of this district a delegation of six or seven to the lower bouse of the next Legislature. At the same time, there are chances of the election of the joint Senator for Warrick and Spencer counties. The Democratic nominee is a crank lawyer of Rockpori, named Hiram M. Logsdon, and the Republican candidate is Dr. Samuel F. Johnson, of Dale, the same county. The majority for Cleveland in the two counties was 509, but this year the Republicans will make a gain on the straight ticket of nearly 200 in both counties; besides, Dr. Johnson will run ahead of his ticket.

Juntice to Ghalrnian Pritchard. Special to the Indianapolis Jourmti. Franklin, Sopfe. 16.—The special in. this morning’s Journal from Martinsville, relating to the joint senatorial convention, unintentionally, no doubt, does an injustice to W. T. Pritchard, chairman of the Republican central committee of this county. Delegates to that convention were elected by this county about the middle of last August, and would have been present at Morgantown had they known of the convention. At a meeting of representatives from the three Counties, at the congressional convention held at this place on July 29, it wag left with Chairman Pritchard, so he understood, to fix the date and issue the call for the senatorial convention of Johnson, Morgan and Brown counties. The chairman had not issued a call, nor had he any Botice of the convention until yesterday, when he was called by telephone from Morgantown. General Packard' for Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Goshen, Sept 16.—The Republican congressional convention of the Thirteenth district, held here to-day, nominated General Jasper Packard, of LaPorte, where he has been engaged in the practice of law since the close of the war. He entered as a private in the Forty eighth Indiana Volunteers, and during the three years of his service, rose, by rapid promotions, to the rank of brigadier-gen-eral. He was in many of the severest battles of the war. During the last few years he has traveled considerably. Ho is a flue speaker, and will make a strong canvass. Legislative Nomination. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Princeton, Sept. 16.—The Republicans met at this place yesterday and nominated Robert L. Mackey, of Knox county, for Representative in the legislative district composed of Knox, Vanderburg and Gibson counties. The Democrats have nominated Johu F. Prr sos Yanderburg county, for the same position. HENNA’S CAMPAIGN HOOK. “To the Victors Belong the Spoils.” or Why a Klch Democrat Did Nat Subscribe, Washington Special to Courier-Journal. There is not so much good cheer at the national Democratic congressional campaign headquarters as there was. Before the campaign book was published nearly all the chiefs of bureaus in the departments promised to subscribe for a dozen or more copies each, and the committee fully expected to sell at least 5,000 copies in the District. Since the publication of the work, however, the promises to buy have not realized worth a cent Toe actual fact is that up to last night but eleven of the books had been sold in Washington. What is troubling the committee now is how they are going to raiso the money to pay for the publication of the book and the salaries of the cisrks employed in sending out Democratic literature. While the book was being edited a prominent Democrat proposed to pay SI,OOO for the privilege of one page in the book. Ho was asked what he desired to write. He said: “I only want to write one line to be printed on ope page. It shall be good Democratic campaign material.” The proposition was Accepted, and the next day the gentleman presented a certified check on Riggs & Co.'s bank for SI,OOO and a slip of paper upon which was written in a bold hand: "To the victors belong the spoils." The member of the committee looked at the check, then at the sentence, scratched bis head, returned both to the giver, saying: “I agree with you, bat caunot accept your proposal.” The prominent Democrat tore up ' h check and paper upon which the famous i, .tier was written, and walked out of the covnmittee-ro*m. Ho is immensely wealthy, and would not accept a Cabinet position. MR. BLAINE A CANDIDATE. Tlie Maine Statesman Very Much Elated Over Monday’s Victory. Washington Special. A private letter was received here to-day from the Hon. Seth Milliken, of Maine, in which the following lanuguage occurs: “Mr. Blaine is very mnch elated at the result of the election in Maine, and in a letter received by me this morniog he acknowledges the receipt of a congratulatory telegram as to the outcome on Monday. Nothing will prevent the Maine statesman from going before the nominating convention in 1888, and I bslieve he will be stronger than ever. There is no question that he can command the undivided labor vote, this fact having been demonstrated in Monday’s contest. Os course it is problematical as to the balance of the country. But in the next campaign, as in the one that preceded It, the battle-ground will be in New York State. From the best sources I have It that Mr. Blitin* whether nominated or not, will make a rmet active canvass in the Empire State for the benefit of tho party of which he is a foremost leader. ” POLITICAL NOTEB.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of All Kinds in the Two States. The Reuniou of the Seventieth Regiment at Martinsville—A Farmer and His Hired Man Robbed by Masked Men—Gleanings. INDIANA. Successful Iteunion of the Survivors of the Seventieth Regiment of Infantry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Martinsville, Sept. 16. —The twelfth annual reunion of the Seventieth Indiana Regiment took place in this city to-day, and will long be remembered by those in attendance. After registering the regiment was formed in line in tbe court house yard, with the Band in the lead, and marched to the Presbyterian Church, where the exercises were to take place. The church was handsomely decorated. The forenoon was devoted to organization and to the addresses of welcome and responses. The addresses of welcome were delivered by CoL J. H. Jordan and Maj. George W. Grubbs, and the response by Gen. Ben Harrison. General Harrison, in the course of his remarks, said: “We are not rejoicing because the rebels were put down, but because the principles which we loved were put UP.” Major Grubbs read a letter from one of the old Seventieth boys, which contained the following: “The next President of the United States ought to be a soldier, and Gen. Ben Harrison is the man.” At noon the soldiera formed in line and were marched to the rink, where the ladies of the Presbyterian Church had spread a fine repast. Among the interesting objects of the reuaion was the old war-horse, Billy, belonging to. Colonel Merrill, of Indianapolis. He was captured at Russellville, Ky., in 1862, and was used by Col. Merrill during the remainder of tho war. Although over thirty years of age, he traveled thirty miles yesterday to reach this point in time to attend the reunion. The afternoon was devoted to short speeches and army reminiscences, and was an occasion of unusual enjoyment The reunion adjourned to meet at Irvington, Ind., on the Bth day of September, 1887. The roster shows 148 members of the regiment present. County Fairs. Specials to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Princeton, Sept 16.—The thirty-second annual fair of the Gibson County Agricultural and Horticultural Society began on Monday with excellent prospects, and up to last night the displays in the various departments exceeded those of all former years, and all the entries are not yet made. The fair has justly gained t.he reputation of being the bestin the southern part of the State, and tbe week this year promises to be a successful one in every particular. A number of fast horses from different parts of the State have been entered for the races, while the show of fine stock in all the departments is said by competent judges to be the best ever seen at a county fair. The large display of farm products fully sustain the reputation of the fine farms that comprise the county. Terre Haute, Sept 16.—Yesterday the weather was threatening and kept many persons away from the fair grounds. It was hoped that there would be a large attendance to-day, but the weather has again prevented the people from attending in large numbers. The association this year had made many improvements and been at much expense and trouble to build up the Vigo fairs. The revenue from beer and game privileges can no longer be obtain**, owing to tbe new law, and the result is that the association is likely to get a set-back. It is., however„in the hands of liberal-minded and enterprising men. who will not be dismayed by their “hard luck.”

Natural Gaa in Delaware County. Bpeial to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Sept. 16.—Eaton, eleven miles north of this city, is to-day the scene of much excitement, occasioned by the abundant flow of natural gas from the well which has just been completed there. Several weeks ago a company, composed of Hon. R. C. Bell and W. W. Worthington, of Fort Wayne, and Messrs. B. F. Smith, Jesse Nixon, Ame Foorman, George Carter and others began to drill for oil or gas, or anything of value that they could find. They were gratified last night about 9 o’clock, when, upon removing the drill, gas in paying quantities came forth from the opening. The flow is intermittent, and upon being lighted at times sent a flame forty, fifty and even sixty feet into the air. -At other times the pressure seemed to die away, and th flame ascended but a few feet above the surface. It is the purpose of the company to sink the well deeper, honing to get a steady and more powerful flow. The present supply and pressure are thought sufficient, when confined, to be of practical utility. Union Sunday-S<thool Celebration. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Winchester, Sept. 16.—-Arrangements are nowcompleted for a county union Sunday-school celebration, to be held at the fair grounds here on the 2d of October. Rev. G. L.

Albright Assigns. SpeciaV to the Indianapolis Journal. Winchester, Sept. 16.—At an early hour this morning a report was circulating that B. F. Albright, who recently engaged in the dry goods business here, had made an assignment, and investigation showed the report to be well founded. W. W. Canada, of this city, is the assignee, and the liabilities will be fully $5,000, while the assets will reach SB,OOO or SIO,OOO. Case of Supposed Suicide. Spaclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Sept. 16.—John Huehlefeldt died in this city last night from an overdose of laudanum, thought to be taken with suicidal intent.

St. Louis, Sept 16.—A daring robbery was committed early yesterday morning, near Centrevilla station, 111, the victims being Joseph Bluff, a well-known farmer, and his employe, named Patmyer. About 3 o’clock in the morning they started from the house to the barn to

bitch a team to a wagon of cabbage which they were to bring to this city. As they approached .the stables four masked men sprang out from ’a place of concealment and presented revolvers at their heads, at the same time cautioning them to make no resistance. The robbers then ordered them to reveal the hiding place of their money, and the frightened victims did so. The robbers, after sagging them, led them back to the house. On entering, Bluff w taken to a bureau in one of the rooms, where he had hidden SBS. This the robbers took, and then proceeded with Patmeyer to the latter's room, where they secured $35. They then left the house, after warning Bluff and Patmeyer not to attempt to pursue them, as they would be killed. The latter were too badly frightened to do anything, and the masked thieves escaped. Bluff went immediately to Belleville, 111., where he informed the authorities of the robbery.
