Duly One Voice Raised Against the Indorsement of Harrison's Candidacy. Fteclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Jeffersoxville, Ind., Jan. 21. One hundred and fifty-two delegates, representing the Republicans of the eight counties romposing the Third congressional district, met in Jetlersonville this afternoon for the purpose of electing a member ot the State central committee. There were anticipations of a contest, but Frank E. Dean, of Clark sounty. after a brief statement denying that he was a candidate in the interest of any particular presidential candidate, declined to allow his name to go before the convention. and Hon. 6. E. Carter, of Jackson county, vas unanimously re-elected. The wildest enthusiasm was created by tho name of President Harrison. The convention was called to order by 8. E. Carter, chairman of the district central committee. M. IL rtnlzer, of Jefierson county, was made chairman, and L. A. Douglas, of Clark county, secretary, with Engene Heim. of Washington, assistant. The committee on resolutions submitted the following, which wer adoptod without change, though the Harrison county delegation moved to strike out that portion of the report recommending the delegates to the Minneapolis convention to give their support to Harrison. The motion to strike ont was met with hisses and a storm of disapproval. Resolved. That the administration of Benjamin JInrrlson merits the fullest confidence of the Republican party, and that it is gratifying to Republicans to know that the Nation now has one ir the strongest, purest and most brilliant administrations In our history. Keolved. That tho Democratic party has forfeited the confidence of the people of Indiana by the parage of an unjust and burdensome tax Jaw, and we urre that all the fact of Democratic, maladministration and its utter contemnt for the Jeneral publlo interest can best be exhibited in CepuMican newspapers whose circulation should 15 encouraged by every means within the power of the organization of the party. Revived. That while wo do not yield to any In our admiration for the great statesman who so ably tills the position of r?ecretary of State, the Hon. James o. lilalne. yet we Insist that the 2:cpubiicans of Indiana will best honor themselves, their f-tate and their party by supporting, at Minneapolis, our matchless President. Gen. benjamin Harrison. FCCUTH DISTRICT. XIanaonloaa Session, Resulting In the Election of A. H. Jiowlin, of Lawrenceburg. 8 pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. Lawrexcerurg, Ind., Jan. 21. The district convention of the Fourth congressional district of the State of Indiana, which met hero to-day. was most harmonious. At 10 o'clock, when the convention was called to order, every delegate was in his place. Hon. Charles II. Jones, of Franklin county, was elected chairman of the convention without opposition. He paid a fine compliment to the administration of 1'resident Harrison. Hon. Isaac Carter, of Shelby ville, was elected secretary, ami the representatives of all Republican newspapers in the district were made assistant secretaries. The followingresolutions were ottered and adopted, being oifered by L. L. liurke, of Franklin county: Whereas, The last Democratic Legislature made certain changes in the Fourth congressional district, detaching Jefferson and Union couuties and adding Rush and Shelby, therefore, fceit Resolved. That the representatives of the fourth district in convention assembled greatly regret the change, which deprives them of the Tco-cperatlou of the Representatives of Jefferson mud Union counties, whom wo have always Jinind loyal to principle and wle in counsel. Resolved. That the Representatives of the Tourth district cordially welcome to our councils tho Representatives of Rusa and Shelby 'counties, nud invoke their aid In redeeming the id i? trie t, a well ad the State, from the reign of Suisrule. The convention also passed suitable resolutions thanking Hon. John K. Govrdy and lion. Frank MitJikan for the efficient and attentive manrer lu which they have disvchargd the duties of their offices. It was '.expected that there would be some lively righting in theconvention, from the fact that one of the candidates for committeeman, Mr. A. E. Nowlin. of this city, had. it -wan thought, espoused the cause ot Mr. lilaine, and was not willing to indorse the administration. It was supposed there would ba some trouble if a resolution indorsing the administration was presented, but Hon. R. Peak, of Decatur county, off ere d the following: Resolved. That we Indorse the Republican Iwlu-y of protec tion and recioroclly.as embodied n tho McKinlev bllL Resolved. That we, the Republicans of the Fourth congressional district, having full confi dence in the honesty, and patriotism, and states manship of our neighbor and fellow-citizen. njamin Harrison, believe that he has carried ut the principles of the Republican party, as laid down In its platform adopted at the Chicago couvention in 1938, and we earnestly recom mend his renominatlon at the Minneapolis con vention. lion. If. If. Leonard took this occasion to announce himself for the administration, lie hails from Franklin. Mr. Nowlin also seconded the resointious in a very einphatio manner, and was followed bv lion. G. M. Roberts, Dearborn. M. D. Tackett, of Decatur, and many others. Immediately after this resolntion was adopted Hon. M. 11. Tackett. of Greensbursr. who. it was understood, would be a candidate if Mr. Nowlin did not indorse the administration, pre sented the name of Mr. Nowlin for commit teeman for - this district. He was seconded bv tho chairman of everv county commitTee. ana on motion, nowiin s election was made by acclamation, being carried unanimously. Hon. Charles II. Jones, of Franklin, was not a candidate for the office, and lieartily supports Mr. Nowlin, as docs every delegate who was prestnr. The action of tho invention meets with the approval of public opinion in this county and dis trict. riFTII DISTRICT. Jesse Overstreet. of Franklin, Fleeted Com inlttecman The. 1 ministration Indorsed. Had by chance a Democrat, Thomas Tagcart, for instance, bleated with political preference, strolled into the United States court room yesterday morning at 11 o'clock be would have come to the conclusion that be has an insurmountable task before him to carry Indiana for the Democratic party. At the hour named the Fifth district con vention to elect a member of the Republican State central committee was called to order, and 150 intelligent-looking men took their seats. The Filth district convention was held in thiscity (theSeventhdi&trict) as a matter of convenience solely, as had it been held at any other place nearly all of the delegates would have had to pass through this city. The convention was practically unanimous in everything it did, and especially so in its indorsement of President Harrison's administration. It was made tip of a line body of men. and its unanimity lieuotcs that tho Republican of Indiana lire already preparing to buckle on their urmor and enter the fray with a perfect or Conization. The attendance at the con vention was unusually larue. 'lhe- proceedings began with the selection of Mayor Case, of (ireencnstle. as chairman of the convention. It was an excellent eleetiou. and as he took the chair lie was loudly applauded. Chairman Case raid that if he had anticipated that he would be called upon to preside over the conven

tion he would have prepared a speech three or four hours long, but the honor had taken him very much by surprise and the convention would have to content itself with one half that long. ILaughter.l Mayor Caso then delivered an excellent ten-minute speech, during which be referred to the administration of President Harrison. His words were drowned in applause, and the clapping of hands contiuued for several minutes. Ho had great confidence, he said, in the success of the Kepnblican party lu the coming contest, partly because its principles are right and partly on account of the divided condition of the Deraocratio

party. "Why. look at it." ii he. "It is split up it has been rent in twain. On one aide are liill, Gorman and Criso and on the other side Cleveland. Mills" a pause "the Indianapolis Sentinel, Green Smith and Leon Uailey." GETTING DOWN TO WORK. At the conclusion of this remark the con vention again applauded loudly, and when it had subsided Chairman Case concluded bis speech with a brief admonition to the delegates about party organization. Ho then announced that a secretary was to be chosen and called for nominations. Without any other candidates appearing in the field. Enoch Hogate of Hendricks county, was chosen secretary. The gentleman who placed his name in nomination assured the convention that Mr. Hogate could write his own name. That settled it A motion was then made to the effect that a committee on resolutions be appointed, with instructions to report when the convention reassembled at 1 o'clock. The motion was adopted, and it was decided to make up the committee by calling the counties and allowing the rtelejates from each to name their man. The committee consisted of E. O. Hogate, of Hendricks county; A. W. Howard, of Owen: T. T. Moore, of Putnam; Nat U. Hill, of Monroe; W. H. Watten. of Rrown; Judge I. H. Jordan, of Morgan: L. E. Ott. ot Johnson, and Charles Baker, of Bartholomew. In order to givo the resolutions committee time in which to prepare a report, and the delegates time to got dinner, the convention then adjourned until 1 o'clock. SELECTING A COMMITTEEMAN. Whenthe convention reassembled Chairman Case announoed that nominations for a member of the State central committee from the Fifth district were in order. As before, tho counties were called, but no candidates were proposed until Johnson county was reached. Then Robert Brown, editor of the Franklin Kepublican, placed in nomination the name of Jesse Overstreet, of Franklin. In doing so he spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Overstreet's capabilities as an organizer, and said that if he was elected be would devote his whole time to organizing the district, and would visit every township. Mr. Brown, beside being a good newspaper man, is a good talker, and he was listened to with great interest and attention. At tho mention of Mr. Overstreet's namo tho convention cheered, and it was easily seen that he wonld be elected without much opposition. When Brown county was called W. H. Watton arose and placed in nomination John C. Orr. of Bartholomew county. Mr. Watton did not make a long speech, but ho stated that his candidate was a good man for the place, and if elected would serve the interests of the Kepublican party to the best of his ability. Theso two wore the only candidates named. Enoch Hogate, on behalf of the Hendricks county delegation, seconded Mr. Overstreet's nomination in a neat speech which was very much to tho point Mr. Orr's candidacy was then seconded by Bartholomew county, and Nat U. Hill, of Monroe county, also seconded Mr. Overstreet's nomination. William J. Beck, of Columbus, at this point took occasion to make a speech to urge the need of organization on the committeeman whoever he might be. He thought the man selected should give his individual personal attention to the matter. He did uot express himself in favor of any candidate. The balloting was done by counties, and resulted as follows: Count Us. Overstreet. Oit, Johnson 10 ... Morgan. 22 ... Rrown 2 3 Monroe lt Owen 14 Tutnara 21 Hendricks 1!S JJartholomow.... l) 13 Total 131 10 JESSE OVERSTREET ELECTED. Mr. Overstreet was then declared tho choice of the convention for committeeman. Mr. Orr, who is a quiet talker, said he didn't concede that Mr. Overstreet was a better Kepublican than himself, but he wished to extend to him his hearty congratulations and the sincere hope that the efforts of the Kepublican party would be crowned with euccess. There were loud cries for Overstreet, and he was introduced by the chairman. He thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him, and af tor expressing the belief that the Kepnblican party would be successful, stated that he intended to visit every township in the district and give the matter of party organization his entire time. He was greeted with applause. Mr. Overstreet is a young man, well educated and energetic. He is favorably known in this city, having been for two years a deputy under United States Marshal Dnnlap. He is popular with all who know him and his election is considered an excellent choice. The committee on resolutions was then called upon and submitted the following report: THE ADMINISTRATION INDORSED. The Republican convention of the Fifth congressional district, in convention assembled, indorses the administration of President Harrison as patriotic and pure, and truly American in every sense of tho word. His conduct of the affairs of state have been dignified and diligent, prompt and effective, and in all things wholly consistent with the highest aims of government, the best Interests of the people, and tho profitable advancement of tho business of the country. ' Under the guidance or his administration the stability of business has been maintained, the prosperity of the people assured, and the honor and dignity of the Nation enlarged In the opinion of our people, and in the Judgment of this convention he therefore merits a renominatlon and election to the presidency. ( Applause. 1 Wo declare our unchanging belief in the policy of a protective tariff, which' brings support to our government, guards and maintains our home market for home products, affords the highest wages to labor, nud promotes the business interests and welfare of our people. We denounce the present tax law enacted by tho last Democratic Legislature as unfair anil unequal, and as having increased the burdens of taxation, especially to to the farmers of this State. Wo deplore the death of our lata Gov. Alvin r. Ilovey. and in giving expression of our sorrow at his death we commend his orilclal conduct as -upright and able and lament the loss to the State ot his servioes and to his family and friends his aid and companionship. We heartily Indorse the work of the Republican State central committee, and especially tho work and lalor of our chairman. Hon. John K. Gowdy and Secretary Frank M. MilliKnn, who. in their efforts for the better organization ot the party, have personally visited every county of the Htate; and we consider their work in said organization as able, eillcieut and such as should fully recommend them to the conndenco of the ' party. The reference in the resolutions to the Indorsement of President Harrison's administration caused tho enthusiasm of the convention to brcali fortii again, and it was some time before quiet was restored. The resolutions were adopted with a hurrah. The following resolution, prepared nud introduced by editor Brown, was also adopted with a whoop of applause: Wo condemn the conduct of Congressman George W. Cooper, who misrepresents tho Fifth district, in his persecution of General Raurn, the present Commissioner of Pensions, nud declare our confidence in General Kaum's administration of that office. When it was discovered that Governor Chase was present there were calls for a speech, and he responded with a few wellchosen remarks, lie thought the RepnbBeans of Indiana would make the Democrats ache" before the contest was over, as the system of organization outlined meant success. Judge Jordan, of Morgan county, and others who were called upon, responded brieily. Tho most common remark in the federal court room yesterpay was something like this: "Did you ever see such a full attendance and unanimity nt a convention of this kind before!" 1'robably not. It was a 'corker." After adjournment a good many of the delegates went tothe Criminal Court room, where the Seventh district convention was in session. SIXTH DISTRICT. Harmonious and Knthnsiastle ConventionCaptain Ellis Clioaen Committeeman. Precis.) to the Indianapolis Journal. Cambridge City, Jan. 21. The Republican delegates of tLa Sixth conjExuslonal

district met in convention at the operahouse at 1:S0 this afternoon, with the six counties fully represented. The convention was called to order by Hon. J. W. Macy. lion. Frank T. Roots, of Fayotte county, was nnanimously elected permanent chairman, and, being conducted to tho chair, responded iu the following speech: In accepting this position, Mr. Chairman, I wish to preface my remarks by Hr$t thanking you for this unexpected honor, and, secondly, thank all those who have manifested such a friendly interest in me as their choice for committeeman for the Sixth district, to serve on the State central committee. My reason for declining to bo a candidate is that, possibly, I mierht be tho choice of the convention, in which crtae my many business interests would prevent active particir a tion in the work connected with tae ollioe, and do not believe there should bo any figure-heads or irsons in such a position for the honor. Whoever may be selected should almost pledge himself to devote the major part of his time in the district to awakening an interest and perfecting organization, to tho end that victory might crown their effort. Two years ago the convention was held in this same hall, and a familiar response to the roll-call has ever and anon come to my mind "CI for Stubbs." The result of that convention was the election of Mr. Macy. of Randolph, who has been an earnest and devoted worker in the cause of Republicanism. Our splendid chairman, John K. Gowdy, was not in it." neither were the Roots permitted to sprout on that occasion. The constancy which was exhibited on the part of the Wayne county delegation for their candidate reminded me of tho constancy and loyalty which every Republican, as a rule, (exhibits when confronted by the common foe. Democracy. And, as we look over the achievements and review the work of the grand old pmy during the last four years. It is with the :reaiest satisfaction, certainly for an Indlanian at least, when ho remembers the one who, when the convention in 1SS3, at Chicago, started with butseven votes from Vermont and a divided delegation in his own State, yet ran with the swiftness of a racer in that notable convention, passing Alger, Allison and even the mighty Sherman, and secured the nomination of tho Republican rarty, which with vim and vigor carried him on to victory. And ho who sits as President of sixty million people is none other than Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, every whit a President, who, with his Cabinet, have given us an administration second to none in the history of our government. It is also gratifying to noto that the man we elected as President had tho sagacity and ability to surround himself with men of eminenoo and ability, chief, perhapa. among whom, stands he whom we lovo to admire, whom, tf there is such a th'icns man worship, enjoys that tribute; he whom kings, queens, emperors look upon with fear and respeet, as their schoolmaster, aye, as the mighty Ingersoll said, He stands forth as a plumed knight and a mighty warrior" he is none other than James G. Blaine, of Maine. We should feel honored to be called Republicans. In

ancient times to be a Roman was greater than a king. In modern times to be a Republican is greater taan t have been a Roman in the centuries past. We should be proud of the distinction of belonging to a party tuat has convictions and has the courage to carrjthem out. The platform which was formulated at tho Republican convention at Chicago, in 1888, declared for eight distinct reforms. 1. A federal election law. 2. Tariff revision In conformity witu the policy of protection. 3. The restoration of silver to its money uses. 4. Just pension legislation. 5. Revival of the American merchant marine. G. The exclusion of contract labor and all other degraded forms of labor. 7. Tho admission of such Territories as are fit for the duties of Statehood. 8. The revival of the navy and harbor fortifications. 1'iiring President Ilarrlson's administration, with one exception, these pledges have been redeemed. The exception is the failure to pass the federal elections bill. This had President Harrison's sympathy nndsupport. A Republican House of Representatives passed it, but it was strangled in the Senate by the apostaey ot certain Republicans who were overburdened with an overd'ie amount of senatorial courtesy. In regard to the others, we find by the eighth it has been redeemed by the expenditure of millions upon the navy and the repassage of the shipping and subsidy bill; the seventh, by the admission of Idaho, Wyoming, North and South Dakota and other Territories: the sixth by the passage of the anti-trust bill, an act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopolies; tho fourth, "just pension legislation;" that pledge baa been redeemed from the fact that we pay $131,000,000 per year to the soldiers who served tho Nation, and let it burn upon the memories and the gTateful hearts of every soldier, whether Democrat or Republican, that this government pays s?2 out of every $3 Income annually to the soldiers. And to the Republican party is due largely the credit of this splendid legislation. As to the third pledge, tho restoration of silver to its money uses, it has been redeemed by the passage of the fcherman compromise bill, which bill provides a market for the product of tho American silver mines, whereby tho Secretary of the Treasury Is ordered to purchasefrom time to time, silver bullion to tho aggregato amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or eo much thereof as may be offered In each month, at the market price thereof, cot to exceed $1 for 37125 grains of pure silver, nud to Issue in payment treasury notes that shall be of legal tender, in payment of all debts, public and private, customs taxes and all publlo dues. This means to the people of the Nation an increase In their circulation of nearly fifty to elxtymiUton dollars a year. In 1861 our circulation was only $42 4,000,000, to-day it is $l,ftOO,0O0,0OO. tho greatest amount since the foundation of our government, due largely to the efforts of tho Republican party. The scoond pledge, tariff revision in conformity to the rollcy of protection, has been redeemed by the passage of the McKlnley bill, the splendid efiects of which are apparent, notwithstanding the violent opposition of every Earty, except the party which passed it. What as it done I It has increased our commerce forty-seven million, reduced seventy million of taxation, fifty-live million upon sugar alone. Free sugar was the Christmas gift of tho Republican party to this Nation. And as J. 13. Forakcr, the gallant soldier, orator and statesman, said. In his speech In Cincinnati, Oct. 18, ltfin, "it is a grand party." The Republican party has always said, and ever will hay, it could, it would, and it did. The Democratic party said row cannot reduce the price of steel rails. Tho Republican party said we could, we would, and we did. from $1G0 per ton to $23. Yon oannot reduce the price of starch, the Democratio party said. The Republican party said we could, wo would, and we did. from 10 cents in 1801 to 3 cents In 1802. Rut you cannot make tin-plate, and this Nation witnessed the anomalous position of the Democratio party, together with other parties, preventing, if possible, the payment of thirty million ot dollars in laoortoourovn workmen, Instead of sending it to Pouth Wales. We said wo could, we would, and we are making tinplatointhls country to-day. As evidence of t his fact, we find in Piqua, in the East, and in the W est, and in ourown State, nn immense plant or ganized and almost in operation for that purpose. Permit me to give you a little chapter of my experience when traveling from Paris to London with a prominent English manufacturer. He said: "ou are a young Nation and have a great deal to learn. In the first place your tariff laws are out of Joint." I asked hlra what he wonld have me learn. lie said our country should rcpsal the tariff laws so that England might manufacture In her mills all the manufactured articles used in the United States from the fact that they had factories that could supply the world. I remarked that we had our own factories for that very purpose, giving em plovment to no less than from ten tonrteen million men. He said: "Those factories should be closed aud those men go to the farms and send in their farm products, and let England supply them with their manufactured goods." I complimented him upon his English theory and stated to him that whilo the Republican party had life and being that partr would never tear down its Chinese wall of protection, which, as Powderly said, should be so high and so broad that they could not get over or under It to the detriment ot American labor, and ventured the assertion that he must bo an active member of the Cobdcn Club. It behooves us to beware of free-traders, as this is their ultimate purpose. Rut what do these figures mean I Will our Democratic friends not be convincedl It would seem that a Democrat, very much like Republicans, are loyal to their faith until they die. Borne of my most personal friends are Democrats, while I am a Republican, and that is what is worrying them and worrying roe. Either would be happy If tho other would change his politics. There is a story In regard to free sugar, where a Demofr.ft. tlc farr"er, not knowing that the McKlnley bin had been passed, glviug free sugar to the American people, irrespective or creed or politics, and when he discovered that he could get twenty-four pounds of sugar for a dollar, instead of twenty, on account of Republican legislation, ho fiatly refused to tatta it, saying to the grocer, "If my wife would discover that tho cause of the reduction in prico of sugar was due to the Kepublican law, she would niako me vote the Republican ticket." Let us turn our faces to the f utnro and bury all personal difference and prepare tor the fight Ea,ll'ni1 supremacy.

That we view with consternation and alarm the corrupt, heedless and revolutionary practices of tho leaders of the Demooratlo party in defying the will of the People of sov ereign btates, degrading the suffrage and. by a stupendous system of frauds In one section 01 the Union and gerrymanders in other States, practically disfranchising the people and putting the control of elections lu tho hands of corrupt gangs and rings ot self -see king fixers and political heelers, and that the continued liberty and happiness of the people depend upon the overthrowing of that party in Its strongholds of power and the reformation of its crimes against free and fan elections. Resolved. That the interests of toll as well as of agriculture, trado and the mechanical arts demand that tho money of the people shall be sound and of uniform and stable value, and that we are opposed to all propositions to rob the farmers and toilers by the issue of Irredeemable currenoy, or other schemes which would tend to depredate or destroy the value of the circulating meuia. Resolved, That while we should deplore war and favor all honorable efforts to avoid hostilities with a neighboring tvjwer. vet it is the sense of this convention that the rights of American citizens and the dignity of the Nation must Do maintained, peaceably If possible, but In any event maintained. Resolved, That we denounce the wasteful corruption ot the Democratio rarty to Indiana, by which it has burdened the tftate with needless Indebtedness and so grcatiy Increased the burdens of taxation to the people, and especially by unjust discriminations, to the farmers of the State, and that the Republican party, should it gain ascendency, wid make it its first duty to reform these abuses and give the people relief. Resolved, That In common witn the people of the entire State, we mourn tho death of Gov. Alvin P. Ilovey as that of a sincere, honest and capable chief executive and patriotic soldier and citizen. Resolved, That having full faith in the ability end force of our member of Congresjs, the Hon. Henry U. Johnson, and recognizing his zeal in behalf of the principles of tho Republican party and the Interests of good government, we bid him be of good cheer, even In the House of our enemies, and pledge him the unfaltering support of his constituents in every effort ho may make for political righteousness. Resolved, That we believe lb the salutary rower of an honest and fearless newspaper press, and that we especially commend the Republican newspapers of tho State and district for their earnestness and candor In the treatment of political questions, which is in such marked contrast to the unreliable and often untruthful and hypocritical utterances of so-called independent newspapers, and that we urge upon Republicans everywhere tho wise duty of giving effective and earnest support to the Republican press of the State, and especially to the local home papers. Resolved, That we recognize in Capt, John K. Gowdy. chairman, and Frank M. Milllkan, secretary, of tho Republican State central committee, earnest and capable men lor the important places they occuoy; that we fully Indorse and commend their wise and efficient management during the time they have been in charge of their important trusts; that in this indorsement we include, also, w ith special emphasis, the services of our district committeeman, John W. Macy, of Randolph county. Delaware connty placed in nomination for State committeeman Capt. Frank Kills, and Union county nominated Mr. Hey worth. The first ballot resulted in the choice of Mr. Ellis 119 to 69. This was the most harmonious and enthusiasts convention ever assembled in Cambridge City. The Republicans of the Sixth congressional district are. in good fighting trim, and ready for the battle of next November. The Journal's Mancie correspondent reports that the forty odd Republicans from Delaware connty who attended the meeting at Cambridge City returned homo math enthused at the selection of Capt. Frank KUib as district central committeeman. Captain Ellis is a discreet, bard-working Kepublican, and even the .Democrats confess that the party could not have found a more zealous member. SEVENTH DISTRICT. General ' Uarrtsotf Unanimously Indorsed Hess Elected A Lively Reglnnlnc "Make it lively in convention and then tarn in together and make it lively for the opposing party at the polls!" This theory has worked well and often, and the Seventh district Republicans are proceeding npon it this year. They went in with a small division and came ont unanimous. They had a lively and goodhumored contest yesterday, which produced plenty of fan. bat was entirely too one-sided to he of more than passing interest. Tho convention was called for Room 3, of the Superior Court, at 1 o'clock p. m., bat as the body was composed of 201 delegates, and large bodies are - proverbially slow, it was 1:40 o'clock before W. T. Durbln, of Anderson, the retiring committeeman of the district, called the body to order. At that hour tho room was packed and jammed with an intelligent and enthu siastic body of men, and it -was impossible to seat all the delegates. The galleries were opened and filled np at once, but it did not relieve the congestion much. W. H. Nickman was made sergeant-at-arms, and brought in more chairs, bat still a great many delegates had to remain standing. 11. M. Seeds, of the Indianapolis Journal, was appointed temporary secretary, and upon motion of R. O. Hawkins it was determined to call the roll by counties as to Hancock and Madison andby wards and townships as to Marion. This prevailed and the roll was thus called, showing ISO dele gates present, the only contest noted being in the Tenth ward of this city. When this was called W. V. Rooker, of Brightwood, gave notice of a contest. WHERE THE FUN BEGAN. just here all the fun of the convention cropped out R. O. Hawkins moved that the chair appoints committee of five on credentials, consisting of three, from Marion connty, one from Hancock and one from Madison. Mr. Rooker, of Brightwood. objected to, this, pleading that according to parliamentary usage the convention should nrfr.mize before appointing any committees. James Kealing made quite a little speech on the subject. The chairman and secretary should first be elected, he said. Other contests might be tiled. They were not a bowling Democratic moo. such as Indianapolis is accustomed to seeing in convention of the other party, hut Republicans. intelligent men. and able to transact their biTSiness properly. It was not necessary that things should bocutauddried in order to get throngn witn xue wuik. ii imngs were to be done thns he did not care to participate in tho convention. "Do yon know of anything being cat and dried in regard to this convention' asked Mr. Durbin from the chair. Yes, sir." replied Mr. Kealmg. "I believe you have this credentials committee in your pocket on paper." Thi. nrAated considerable confusion and laughter. When it subsided Mr. Durbin remarked: "If there is anytbing of that lHnd hero I haveno knowledge of it." "You did the same thing when you pre- . i i.

The committeeman who ealled ft toorder did not derive his authority from the convention, and therefore did not represent

Rooker, of Brightwood. at once moved that all delegation contests be set tied bv the, convention. R. O. Hawkins moved to amend by the appointment of a committee. Tnen Royal Hammor mov ed to amend the amendment by making the committee one from each county, but his motion was not seconaea, anu wa i crush. rrt. i r t l n.i,)nrnAf1 mnntit. 1 li OH DXT. iiUOKOr, Ul i)tluivu, ..' ed a chair to talk on the motion, it has been charged." eaid he. ''that thero has been federal interference, intimidation and Dull dozing in the primaries, i wan Mr. Hooker at Lrightvcood. mony, but I don't want it at the price of bulldozing, bribery and corruption! If there has been any such influence" By this time the hisses, the cries of "Sit down," eta, caused such confusion in the hall that the young man's voice was drowned out. As it subsided he bobbed up again, and was saying: "if there has been any such inlinenco we ought to know it, and know where it comes from-" . He was interrupted at this point bv a delegate, who made the point of order that he was talking on the merits of the controversy, not npon the motion. Chairman Dnrbin told him to confine himself to the motion. '.... "That's just what I'm doing," cried Mr. Rooker, of Brightwood, and he continued a few sentences in the same lin nntil a chorus of "Sit down." "Break Vvay."and other friendly admonitions caused him to clamber down from hit chair. "it would seem to a man of ordinary intelhcence," said W. A. Ketcham. rising slowly and speaking impressively, "impossible to have a calm and judicial investigation, such as tbegentlemanhascommended by his manner llaughterj, before this whole body. I therefore second the amendment for a committee of five." Mr. Kealing arose, but there were cries of "Question!" and the chair put the motion on the amendment, and it was carried by a viva voce vote. Mr. Kealing still kept his'' feet A. F. Denny called for the yeas and nays, and Mr. Koaling seconded it. The chair put the vote on the original question as amended, and it was carried by a vive voce vote. "Mr. Chairman!" cried Mr. Kealing. "are we to be denied the liberty of speaking in this convention!" "No." replied the Chair. "The only anxiety 1 havn is to expedite business in order that the Hancock delegation may catch their train." "Then listen to me!" and Mr. Kealing insisted upon the demand for the yeas and nays, and said if matters were to bo conducted that way he wanted to leave the convention. Mr. Ketcham spoke briefly in favor of calling the vote as the roll had been called. With the consent of the convention this was done. The vote was on the amendment, the yeas favoring the appointment of a committee and the nays favoring settling the contest by the convention. THE TEST VOTE. This was the real test vote of strength between the administration and "anti" forces and resulted as follows, contesting delegations m the Fourth and Tenth wards not voting: Yeas. Kays. Hancock county 17 Madison county 35 Marion county First ward fir Second ward..... 12 1 bird ward 10 Fourth ward Fifth ward. -6 Sixth ward 11 Seventh ward. 8 Fihth ward 4 2 Ninth ward 8 Tenth ward ...

Total 1C8 14 . - The result was greeted with great cheering. Long before the call was finished Mr. Rooker and his friends saw that they were defeated. They took it gracefully and in good humor, as becomes good Republicans, and when it came down to Mr. Rooker himself ho "got on the wagon" and voted with the majority. The Chair announced the committee as follows: R. O. Hawkins, of Marlon. , A. YanBuren, of Marion. II. II. Wheatley, of Marlon. John n. Terhune, of Madison. Col. 8. F. Gray, of Hancock. The committee retired, but soon returned to look for that contesting delegation from tho Fourth ward. Itwaanot to be found. Milton Connett raised the point that W. A. Van Buren was not a delegate, bnt reference to his ward delegation showed that he was. Mr. J. L. Griffiths moved that a committee of five on resolutions be appointed and it carried without a dissent. The chair appointed the following: J. L. Griffiths, of Marion. lialph Hill, of Marlon. D. M. Bradbury, of Marion. E. E. Hendee, of Madison. Henry finow, of Hancock. This committee retired and R. A. 'Black, of Greenfield, was called npon for a speech. As it had been mooted about tha't Mr. lilac k was the candidate of the "antis" for State committeeman it was expected that he would say nomething interesting and he did. He made a wise and serions talk that put everybody in the best of humor, smoothed ont all the wrinkles and gained lor him a number of votes of the most enthusiastio Harrison supporters. MR. BLACK'S ADDRESS. "I hardly know what to say," said Mr. Black. "I did not expect to be called upon this early in the meeting." This reference to his hope of election brought down much laughing applause. "I am a Republican," he continued. "Not a Harrison Republican, nor a Blaine Republican, nor a Oresham Republican, nor any other kind of a Republican with a string to it. Iam an oldfashioned Republican. I believe that tho safety, that the salvation of oar beloved country depends npon the continued ascendancy of the Republican party. Jt is in the Democratic, not in the .Repnbhcan. party that but one leader at a time can be found. Thank (iod that in tho Republican party there are a score of men who, if elected to the presidency, or to any otlier otfice. would grace the potation.

Benjamin Harrison. IRinging applause again. 1 worked as hard for General Harrison as anybody four years ago, and 1 shall do it again if he is the choice of the party. "This is not the time for ns to split up. I understand that between General Harrison and Mr. Waine the most complete harmony of purpose exists; that if the one is a candidate tho other will not be. Then, why should there be strife between us. their friends! Attain, let me impress upon you that we must pull together in harmony and devote our attention to the common enemy." The speech was received with frank and hearty applause. While Mr. Black was talking the committee on resolutions retimed, and Mr. Griffiths now read its roEjrt, consisting of two resolutions which ad received the unanimous approval of the committee. FRF.SIDENT UNANIMOUSLY INDORSED. The first of theso was this: The Republicans of the Seventh concessional d'strlct. iu delegate convention assembled at tho c ty of Indianapolis, hereby reaffirm our faith In t te principles of the Republican party as declared at Chicago in 1888; and we commend to the thoughtful people of the district and of the country the wise (jnd patriotic measures enacted into laws by the last Kepublican Concret. es pecially tne tanir, silver and pension leKPdation, whereby our manufacturing and laboring interests aro protected; reciprocal trado relations established with other nations, thereby furnishluc a market for our surplus products; the volume of money Increased; the disabled Boldiersof the late war provided for; and also the measures adopted looking to an enlargement of our commerce on tho high seas. It is with pride that we, his neighbors and friends, congratulate the country on the able, honest, patriotic and prosperous administration of President Harrison. He has given to the country an administration unexcelled In ability and fidelity to the public Interests. While he has been faithful to the principles of the party which elected him he haa, in the dlschargo of his publio dutlea, been guided by a conscientious regard for tho best interests of the whole country. His highest ambition for our country Is that every citizen shall obey our Constitution and laws, thereby protecting each other In the exercise cf civil and political rights; that American citizens, however bumble, shall be protected in their person and property by foreign powers, and that the flag of our llepubllo shall not only be respected at home but wherever unfurled it shall be the shield and buckler of every American citizen abroad. Thus reposing confidence in the integrity, statesmanship and Republicanism of Benjamin Harrison, wo favor his renominatlon by the national Republican convention at Minneapolis in June next. As soon as the crowd caught the tenor of the paragraph indorsing General Harrison there was a load burst of applause and a continued scene of enthusiasm, with cheering and waving of hats. The applause broke out again as Mr. Griffiths proceeded to read, and again when he had finished. When the question was put it was carried with a whirl. There was but one dissenting voice, that of Romeo Stewart, secretary of the Democratic city committee, who was in the room. There were loud calls for a speech from Mr. Griffiths, but he said that the Democrats were making eo much material for Republican speeches every day that this was not the time to make one; better wait until Juno 7, when it would all be in. Moreover fie had another resolution, which he read, as follows: Whereas, During the past year John K. Gowdy and Frank M. Milllkan, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the Republican State central committee, have, one or the other, personally visited every county in the State, holding conferences with Republicans for the purpose of encouraging organization and uniting the party for effective work during the coming campaign, and encouraged the dissemination and circulation of Republican newspapers, both State and county; therefore, be It Resolved, That the thanks of the Republicans of the Seventh congressional district are hereby tendered to said Gowdy and Milllkan for their active and efficient work preliminary to the coming campaign, and we commend them to the Republicans of the district and of the State as earnest, active and thoughtful men In the management of party affairs. Resolved, further. That we recommend to the Republicans of the district and ot the State the circulation of more Republican newspapers, believing that such papers more fully dve tl-apolitical situation from all points of view than other papers. This also was unanimously adopted, and the calls for Mr. Griffiths were repeated. MR. GRIFFITns'S SPEECn. He finally came to the front and made a brief and rattling talk that aronsed the convention to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He spoke of the situation in Indiana, where the maladministration of the Democrats has caused a big increase in taxes. The Democrats had piled np a big debt It was "against their principles to pay interest and against their Interests to pay the principal." He spfike of the Fort Wayne institution for feeble-minded as an instance of their financering. They had asked the Legislature of 18b7 for $50,000. He thought Allen connty a good place for such an institution, and was for the appropriation. Laughter. I Two years later they had come back demanding $250,000. It cost more to educate four hundred feebleminded children in that institution than fourteen thousand sound-minded children in the pnblio schools of Indianapolis. In closing Mr. Griffiths said: 41 am cot one of those who bolieve that Indiana is even .a doubtful State. I believe this because of the record of the party in this State and because the national administration of the past three years has been unexcelled. And in my judgment, the man who has done so much and done it so well for his country in the last three years will have an opportunity to accomplish much more in the next four.' ... The speech was warmly applauded, and a little love-feast followed while the convention was still waiting the credentials committee. This committee finally came in, and its chairman, Mr. R. O. Hawkins, made a verbal report. "There were two contests," said he, "one from the Fourth ward and the other from the Tenth. And I want to say that in neither contest did either side make any claim, nor was there any evidence adduced of any corruption, bribery, boodio or intimidation at any of the primaries. No claim of anything of the kind was made. Applause. I am instructed, by the unanimous vote of the committee, to report that we find the following the regularly elected delegates in the Fourh ward: Edward Harris, 2ick Tavlor. William E. Davis. Gabriel Jones, Anderson Lewis, George Standridge, John Puryear. William Cravens. Wash Watkins, Joseph Rroyles, John Williams." The question was put upon this section of the report, and it was adopted without dissent. "In the Tenth." continued Mr. Hawkins, "there was a spirited contest, and, as the evidence was connecting, the committee determined to seat three from each of the contesting delegations, as follows: F. M. Lacey. C. C. Heckman. Henry Anderson. Dr. G. 11. Roberts. Joseph Soloman and F. R. Dearinger." When this latter half of the report was made. Mr. Rooker. of Jirightwood. arose and said that one side must be right or wrong. Robert Metzger, the chairman of the meeting, was present, and as he had published a long statement in that morning's beutinel, he would like to have him heard by the convention. "I have no desire," said W. A. Ketcham. speaking slowly and impressively, as before, "to hear a man who use the columns of an opposing newspaper as his monthpiece talk to a 'Republican convention." This sentiment was applauded, and Mr. Rookers request was not seconded. The report was unanimously adopted, and that both the contesting delegations accepted it was shown by the fact that all those seated voted on committeeman, thus pledging themselves to abide by the result. J. W. II ESS ELECTED. The Chair then declared nominations for district committeeman in order, and W. S. Montgomery, of Hancock, moved that, in calling the roll, Marion be called first, Madison next and Hancock last. Though the convention did not nnderstand this.it wasassented to. The real reason was that some of the Harrison men ot Hancock wanted to compliment Mr. Itlack. in case they could do it with safety. They could. A. F. Denny nominated James W. Hes, of Marion, without a speech, and CoL &

EIGHTH DISTRICT. A Blaine Man Chosen, bat He Comes Oat for Mr Harrison. Special to tne Indianapolis Journal. Terrb Haute, Ind., Jan. 21. There never was a larger attendance of prominent Republicans of this congressional district at a couvention whose only object was the selection of a committeeman than the one held here to-day, nor w.as there ever a more harmonious and enthusiastio gathering. The keynote to all that was said and done, in private consultation and publio proceedings, was a determined support of President Harrison. Nothing could more plainly indicate this purpose than the cbciceof a committeeman. Mr. Nichol.il Filbeck, of this city, was known to be the choico of those who are most active in promoting tho renominatlon of President liar neon, and all other candidates cheerfully withdrew in bis favor. Mr. Filbeck had been considered among those who were not pleased with the distribution of patronage, but nothing could better testify ?o the hearty support the President will receie in tlits district than the manner of Mr. Filbeck's election and what he said to the convention. District Committeeman W. T. Rrush called tho convention to order and Captain Travis, of Crawfordsville, was chosen chairman. Mr. George M. Allen, ot the Terre llanto Express, was secretary. On tho roll-call for a committee on resolutions the following were named from ditlertnt counties: C. L. Puck, James Uingham, F. M. Dice, W. 11. Klson. Vaxdiman Jewell. James K. Dnulap, Frank C. Danaldson. While the committee was ont the chairman announced that nominations for district committeeman were in order. Mr. Thomas V. Hutchinson nominated Mr. Nicholas Filbeck. of this city. All the counties indorsed the nomination, and, on motion, it was made bv acclamation. The resolutions were then reported as follows: Resolved. That we very cordially inaowe the administration oi I'reeldent Harrison and the lat Republican Coninrs As Republicans of Indiana we feel an especial rride in the statesmanship displayed by lix-nident Harrlaou. lie has shown to the entire country that ho Is a man of broad, able, tearless, lncorruptablc and conscientious in the admlnUtratlon or rublic tTlrs and In his conduct in private life.
