It Wm Representative of the People and Did It Work Well. .. The Beimblican county convention that .transacted the business expected of it, yesterday, at Tomlinson Hall, iraa one of the best that has erer been brought together in , Indianapolis. With men representing very -walk of life, from learned professions to humblest labor, the assemblage -was in marked contrast with that of the Democrats, in the same hall, several weeks ago. Then there, was everything to show the corruption of politics, the bravado of the hoodlum, the lash of the master and the offenslveness of the heeler. Yesterday there was decency, care, deliberation, fairness and an aim to do that of which the party need not be ashamed. There was enthusiasm of earnestness, but none ' of mad yells and raging faction On , fact, aboTO all, was continuously kept at the front, that the convention had work to do for the people, and that it must be done as law and order and the best interests of city and county demanded. The appearance of the delegations bore testimony to the excellent manner in which the primaries had been conducted. Their personnel was altogether representative, mechanics, merchants, capitalists, lawyers, doctors alike giving worth to each. The roaring, slashing and obnoxious wardheeler was absent. He had no occupation there, and hence there was no need of policemen, nor was there delay when the call to order came, in getting the delegates to their setts. Nine o'clock had been chosen as the hour for this, but an hour passed and still the delegates, in groups, were exchanging views, weighing chances of the various candidates and settling upon what they would do when the voting was on. Candidates were about with a spryness that denoted an energy to cover as much ground as possible in this, the last stretch, before their fate would be decided. There was no hair-pulling, babbiting, wrangling or the use of the knife. Everybody looked upon it as an open race for all, and would offer no guessing as to results. No matter who -was chosen the convention felt that it could not go amiss. It had the field from which to make selections, and the field was, without exception, good. No trading appeared. If a ward had a candidate it stood by him manfully, content to push him on his merits, nor did the question of expediency figure much in the various contests. It was worth brought only to the standard of honest' "Republicanism that decided the matter. ' It had been given currency that the convention would be wrecked at the outset, but the chairman, the Hon. Charles W. 'Fairbanks, had no sooner delivered his excellent speech than the delegates were ready to take up the order of nominations end complete their work. Mr. Fairbanks in his short speech touched the right chord, lor there was quick and cordial response to the sentiment and fact he enunciated. No speaker at a convention of this kind has ever had a higher compliment paid him in clos attention and frequent applause than be. His hearers, from expressions of their appreciation, seemed torecognlze that he aid the right thing in the right place. It was expected that - there would be a delay... over the claims of two or three contesting delegations but none were presented, hence, for once, no committee on credentials was appointed. There had also been a rumor that the order of business proposed by the executive comxnitteee, providing first for the nomination ot a legislative tirlrt wnnld be attacked. It was an innovation, and chronic disturbers of the peace eoming out of the Democratic ranks put in circulation that it would Interfere with the chances of certain candidates. It waa-iolcL these candidates woald resist the adoption of the new order of affairs, but there was not a murmur of protest when Justus C. Adams moved that It be adopted. A short interval was allowed for the appointment of a committee on resolution; and then the convention, with a promptness unusual in such work, tood up the consideration of candidates. Those for the Legislature were first to be named.' and as the nominations started off with such names as A. J. iiankin. John L. McMaster. Frank W. Flanner, I.S.Gordon. Col. Eli Lilly, C. B. Kockwood. Prof. Wm. D. McCoy, Frank I. (jirnbbs, I). P. Erwm, and so on, the delegates felt safe. There could be no mistakes in such a list. No one Lad been definitely canvassed lor place. The nominations followed from a disposition to have worthy men honored, but not to chain the convention down to an order of doing what its majority did not see fit to do. "With so many nominations and the long call ot wards and townships the voting was tedious, but the convention, even under the weary waiting for results, did not become disorderly. - In the meantime the resolutions were read . and m clcta-cut and ' em

phatic wero they that an additiona impetus seemed to be given the delegates to do their work well. Every resolution received a warmth of approval in applause and when the last was read the short series was adopted with a ready aye from all parts of the house. Then the voting for legislative candidates was continued, the wards being impartial in their fayor. The steadiness with which the Dames of McMaster, McCoy. Grubbs, Lilly and Howland were announced suggested the probability of a selection of the live candidates on the first ballot. However, the convention was satisfied when it made such a fine beginning on that ballot with Lilly and McCoy. But there was no longer doubt about the rest of the ticket, and the second ballot only confirmed the speculation as to choice that went on daring its progress. When this part of the work was completed there was applause to mark the general opinion of a difficult task successfully performed. The convention was now well underway, and, although nearly two hours bad elapsed in selecting the legislative nominees, the people in the balconies and on the stage never wearied in their attention to the proceedings. In the balconies the spectators wero as representative as the delef rates, and among them wero a number of adies. On the stage the Democratic politician watched with no delight at what was being done, for it was accomplished in a way that did not foretell a success of the ticket his managers had imposed upon his party. ' ' PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL,

The Voting; for Candidates and Incidents Attending It It was nearly 10 o'clock, after James T. Layman, chairman of the county central committee, called the convention to order, before the delegates we're seated and in readineos for business. Messrs. Statham Jameson, J. W. Fesler. James Sulgroveand K. O. Hawkins were designated by the chair to see that the delegates were in their PVoper places, after whichSecretary Wiltsie proceeded with the call of the roll. The total number of delegates present was 517, of which number 25'J was necessary to a choice. Stanton J. Peelle placed in nomination as permanent chairman Charles W. Fairbanks, and he was made the unanimous choice of the convention. As he came forward to the speaker's table he was received with great applause, and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention I thank you most profoundly for the honor of your Invitation to preside over this convention. The work that lies before you requires of you tbe best, most earnest and most conscientious consideration. The Republicans of Marion county are to be congratulated upon this most favorable opportunity to render a signal service to themselves and to the people of thin county. The demands of tho hour require that the art airs of this great county shall be managed according to business principles, that the great institutions of this county shall not be further prostituted to the advancement of partisan ends. The affairs of this county should be so managed as to yield the best results at the lowest cost. I congratulate you fellow-Republicans upon the visible omens of fcucces. The Republican party, united and harmonious, can achieve nothing but victory. If it Is united and its ranks unbroken success lies before it. f Applause. I congratulate you that the Republican party has again won the favor of federated labor. Great applause. It is most fitting that it is so, for the bone and sinew of the Republican party are the sons of toil. The Republican party was born out of the ranks of labor la order that it might elevate and dignify labor Itself. The fact is that the Republican party is rich in splendid men. This convention cannot go astray. The demand of the hour is that the fittest men of the party shall be chosen to lead us in the coming contest; men whose names are secure against the putrid lips of calumny; men whose fitness will be generally recognized; men whose fidelity to the interests of this great county will be recognized at the mention of their names. I congratulate yon again that the interests of our great party in this county are committed to such splendid men as are upon your county corntee. Wherever James T. Layman and his enthusiastic and earnest associates would lead we, as Republicans may faithfully follow. Applause. 1 The Republican party recognizes the right of each Republican to advocate and press tho claims of his fellow-Republicans before conventions. We honor a man who raises his standard and presses it forward either to victory or defeat before the convention, but after the convention meets and tbe nominations are made the choice of the convention should be accepted as the choice of each individual. Tbe choice of the convention compels fidelity, loyalty, fealty in support of the nominations, and nothing else will be accepted, nothing else will be exacted. Applause. Horace G. Smith was then chosen secretary of the convention, with John W. Wharton, Wm. F. Hooker, F. ' A. Lander, James Sulgrove and Statham Jameson as assistants. The chair appointed as committee on resolutions C. 8. Denny, Stanton J. Feelie, Chester Bradford, Michael Steinhauer and Joseph lC Perry, to whom all resolutions were referred. The committee then retired. A motion by It. O. Hawkins carried that no changes should be allowed in the vote during a roll-call. A motion by J. C. Adams also carried that the nominations should be made in the following order: Five representatives, county commissioner for district No. 2, connty commissioner for district No. 8, three judges of the Superior Courtjudge of the Circuit Court, judge of the Criminal Court, prosecuting attorney, surveyor, coroner, recorder, treasurer, sheriff, auditor, clerk. The nomination of candidates for the Legislature being in order, Justus C. Adams moved, and the motion carried, that the candidates receiving the largest number of votes cast, providing they received a majority of all the votes, be declared the nominees. Pending the nominations of these candidates the committee on resolutions returned, and through thoir chairman, C. S. Denny, made the following report, which was adopted with manifestations of approval: We, the Republicans of Marlon county, in convention assembled, hereby declare: First That we are opposed to a second term for all lucrative county offices and renew our demand, heretofore made, for the enactment of a fee and salary law, placing the compensation of county officers at a reasonable and tixedsuxn, and providing that the excess of fees above that sum be paid into the treasury. Second We favor such legislation by the General Assembly as will create a non-partisan loard of publio works for the city of ludianapoiis, tho appointment of tho members thereof to be vested In the Mayor. And we f aror suoh -other legislation as will meet the present and growing demands of our city. Third We declare our approval of the aims and purposes . of organized labor, which have for their object the protection and security of laboring men In all their Just rights, the promotion of the comfort, the betterment of the condition, and the social, moral and intellectual improvement of themselves and their families; and to that end we favor such legislation as will fully secure to them their wages, provide all reasonable safety devices for the protection of the health, lives and limbs of those engaged In hazardous occupations, and make Labor day a legal holiday. Fourth Our public school system has been the most potent factor in the development and progress of our State; and while we are in favor of maintaining the system inviolate, we are opposed to engrafting it on private or denominational schools, or in any way attempting to regulate them or their course of study by law, believing that such schools should be regulated by their respective founders and those friendly to them; and our candidates this day nominated for the General Assembly are hereby pledged to conform to this declaration. Fifth We hereby indorso the Republican National and State adminstratlons as able, wise and patriotic, and In accordance with the principles of the Republican party. The candidates placed in nomination for the Legislature received ' tbe following votes on the first ballot: A. J. Mankin, 8C; F. W. Flanner. 151: J. L, McMaster, I. S. Gordon. 61; W. B.

A number of these gentlemen, among whom were Messrs. J. C. Adams. C. A. Bradford. Fielding Beoler aud Win. T. Drown, were not candidates, and so declared themselves, but were voted for nevertheless. The first ballot resulted in the nomination of Wm. D. McCoy and Col. Eh Lilly. There wero loud calls for Col. Lilly and Mr. McCoy to come forward to tbe platform. The former was not present, but Mr. McCoy came forward. Chairman Fairbanks, by a slip of the tongue, introduced him as "Mr. Coy." "Your worthy president," said Mr. McCoy, with ready wit. "has made a slight mistake. Had he been in a Democratio convention he could have found tho gentleman he mentioued. Laughter. 1 thank you heartily for the nomination, and shall reserve my speech for the canvas and for the next Legislature. lApolause. The vote by which tho legislative ticket

was selected is given below, that for McCoy and Lilly being cast on the first, and that for Grubbs. McMaster and Howland on the second ballot: Mcllas- now-

The convention then adjourned. PERSONNEL OF THE TICKET. Drief Reference to the Candidates for the Various Offices. The comments on tbe legislative as well as on all other candidates are, without exception, most favorable. Particular reference, though, was made in the run of talk to the nominees who every good citizen hopes will represent the county in the next General Assembly. They stand so far above the Democratio nominees that the difference caused the most comment. No man is better known in the city and county than Col. Eli Lilly. He has an excellent army record, beginning with the first days of the civil war and ending only with its close. He is in the E rime of life, and since entering business as been at the head of a chemical manufactory. Through his energy and marked executive ability this industry has risen from a small establishment until it is recognized as one of the largest in the country. Colonel Lilly is a. progressive man, and whatever he undertakes is carried out with unselfishness of purpose. He is president of the Commercial Club, and has the interest of the city at heart. William I). McCoy is the colored representative on the legislative ticket. He was born in Cambridge City, and educated at Cambridge, Mass. He is a man of tine attainments, as shown in the great success that has attended him as a school-teacher. He first came to Indianapolis in 1ST1, and then went to Helena, Ark., where ho read law. He returned hero in 1T9, and has since been engaged in school work. Every fruit reposed in him has been fulfilled with a strict conscientiousness to duty. John L.

Favor for the Ticket Emphatically Expressed by the People. It's a strong ticket," said Noble C. Butler last evening, "and I doubt if the Republicans ever had a stronger one, take it all in all. It will win." That ticket is a vote-getter, and no mistake," was the comment of Charles Meyer, the well-known tobacconist. "The Republicans certainly made no mistakes this time, and their careful work insures success." "The strongest ticket we have had for twenty years," was the onthusiastio declaration of William O. Patterson, superintendent of the mails. "It would be difficult to improve on it, and a Republican victory this fall is certain." "Capital, capital," responded Chairman Fairbanks, last night, in response to a query as to his opinion of the ticket. "The .Republicans have every reason to feel well satisued at the result of the day's work. 1 believe they have named a winning ticket." R. 0. Hawkins entertained the general opinion regarding the ticket. "I do not think," said he, "we could get a stronger one if we tried for, a month. In all its parts it is solid, and there is no growliug to be heard anywhere, except among the Democrats, who hoped to see us make mistakes enough to balance their own." "The prettiest day's work done by tho Republican party for many a month," said Alderman Harry Smith, last night "Not only is the ticket a great one. but thero are no sore-heads. While the Democrats are hard at work trying to smooth over the rough places caused by the growlers the Republicans will be dovoting their energies to electing their nominees." It was conceded by the Democrats generally that the ticket is a strong one. They do not deny their surpriso at its strength, and, while claiming that it has a couple of weak spots, they admit that it gives them a light which will call out all their energy to win. Not a man could be found who had anything disparaging to say of the legislative ticket A number of the Democrats evaded the question as to what they thought of the ticket by claiming that they did not know its make-up throughout. On the streets and around the hotels there was but one feeling among Republicans, and that was that the ticket is a splendid one, and will make a glorious run. All Friends of the Secretary. JohnRatliff, the new chairman of the State central committee of the Prohibition party, has appointed an executive committee composed of George W. Hogans, Shelbyville; J. J. Baker, Westfield; S. V.

Newton Todd said yesterday that the Consumers' Gas Trust certificates that wero bought almost wholly in the East way below par, are now largely owned by citizens of this city. "The larger part of the certificates," he remarked, "is held by local investors, as a profitable and safe investment and the price is now nearly par. I have bought, since the first of the year, about $00,000 of these certificates for local capitalists. The demand for these certificates now exceeds the further willingness to sell them."
