time shall come when "the frost will be on the pumpkin, and the fodder in in shock," the Republicans of Marion county will have placed their emblem, the eigle.' on ihi top of the Manon county courthouse, thus carrying to a suc es.sful issu and final conclusion the good work ? au5plcT;usly berun and thoroughly an l well done by the . Republicans cf Indianapolis In October last. "With pleasure and Infinite satisfaction the friend of pood government look forward to the time when the affairs of our county, State ar.l Nation shall be placed In the hands and under the control of th js? who are In touch. In sympathy and in accord with the vast materixl and ir.du.strial interests of the great State In which we Uv?.

I'.y the time the Ilowers shall bloom In May the Republicans of the Seventh congressional district will convene and nominate the gentleman who will relegate to private life the hatch-t-and-saw iolitical economist who now misrepresents this, the Seventh district of the State of Indiana. "I see In an Interview of Mr. Uynum yesterday that he announces his putrose of returning to his district, exi-ecting the xiomlniticn and confidently expecting reelection. The fond hp.-s and bright expectations of our Congressman will, I fear, b? dashed t the ground, for when the r-un froes down on that autumn day In which the people of this district shall cast their ballots for good government Mr. Uynum will receive an access of information that lie Is not now advised of. of one thing you can rest assured, gentleman of the Seventh congressional district, that you will never again be humiliated at the spectacle of your representative In Congress marching down the al3les of the House of Representatives, with uplifted arm. with clenched list and darkened mien, declaring that sooner than submit to the dictates and rulings of the Speaker of -the House, he will go back to Indiana and bum every' fipear of grass within the confines of the congressional dlrtrict. Till! HARD TIMES. "My countrymen, we are In the midst cf times when partisan advantage should give way to statesmanship; when party platform and individual opinions should make concession for the public good, and when they should not Interfere or In any way obstruct the great and Important interests of this country. Fine-spun theories as to fiscal policy and will and vicious vagaries on the question of finance should have no place In the Congress cf this country, where idleness and poverty walk hand In hand, and thousands and thousands, of our fellow countrymen walk the streets of our cities and the byways of this land, peeking the employment that they cannot find; and when the business men of the country are designated "robber barons" end "protected monopolists." by whicn our Senator has been boring with the same old worn-out gimlet that he has used for forty years in Indiana, the threads of which have become rustv and worn. I say while th business men of this country' walk their otllce floors by day and pace their bedrooms by night, hoping almost against hope, that some way may be devised, some plan suggested, that would cause a betterment of conditions, whereby they would be enabled to meet their accruing obligations and tide over the present crisis. "A short time ago I had occasion to go through that very interesting section of our State, the natural gas region, where nature has been so very lavish In her gifts, and where her last and best offer to mannatural gas is found in all Its abundance and applied to its many uses and forms, where one year aso was. presented the appearance of a veritable hive of human industry, . where every one who sought employment found it with the assurance that their work should be both permanent and remunerative. That manufacturing and Industrial center of our State is now a scene of arathy. Indifference and Idleness. The conditions are reversed; while employment Is the exception, idleness is the rule. From the Ohio river to Michigan we lind come of our industries in operation; others running on part time at reduced pay, while the smoke!es3 chimneys of -many of the most important interests of Indiana tell us that the tires have gone out under the boilers and In the furnacs, r.s they have in the homes and on the heart lis of many Of our people. The silent machinery and the rusty and unkempt appearance all serve to tell us plainly, without asking the solitary watchman, that the plant Is not In operation. "I do not speak to you from a partisan standpoint, not as a politician, a seeker after place, tut as a business man who loves his country and her institutions far and away to a greater extent than he deeircs the elevation of any man or the success of any party. It is a serious thing t mak2 an assault upon a well-balance I, thoroughly adjusted and equalized Industrial system, which it has tiken years to tul!d up nnd bring to its pr?ent hlg'.: ctat cf ctMci ?nv.

Republicans cf Marlon county, that the- pilot who controlled the helm r.n 1 the captain who stod or. the bridge, the responsible head and the prominent and conspicuous figure in that administration which brought this country to the highest water mark of prosperity was the man whom . the Republicans of Clarion county gave to the Reiubliearparty of the Nation as Its candidate nrv t this government as its President.

F'rora an acquaintance of thirty years, you were s advised of his htirh char-icter. of his ability, cf his unflinching fealty to principle and never-failing devotion to the cause of the people, and while the Republican party dae. not beiieve in man worship, we have no patron silnt. and we bow the l;ne and touch trie hat tono one In human form, and yet. my c juntrvroon. vour faith in the man waa so wdl founded, your confidence in his ability and capacity was well eimlel by your belief that he would give this country an administration that would redoun 1 not only to his own credit, but add luster to the clory of the American name and renown tci th American Nation. As he lives in the qvl-t of his home, in the serenity of a pure, keif-iolsed Christian manhood, he is Infinitely greater to-day as a private citizen of Indianapolis than he was in the hour of his elevation to the high of!lce to which tha peonle called him.

Chairman Adams at once called for a nomination for prosecuting attorney, and as the ruk3 forbid nominating, speeches, the names of George W. Spahr and Charlss S. Wiltsle were cried up from the floor. As Foon as the roll call hid proceeded throughout the Firrt and Second wards it was evident that Mr. Wiltsle had far the lest of It. It ran along a little further, however, until the Kighth ward created a diversion by announcing its solid vote for Mr. Wiltsie; then Mr. Spahr giinei the stand and very gracefully withdrew, moving the nomination of Mr. Wiltie by accalamatlon. The motion was carried with a yell. Mr. Wiltsle was brought to the front and made his bow, and the band played. At this Juncture the chair announce! that the following gentlemen had been selected as a committee cn resolutions and would report later: Mesr3. Hobbs, Leedy, Holland, Elbert and Hardesty. FOR CRIMINAL JUDGE. Nominations for criminal Judge were at once called for. J. II. Keeling named Frank McCray, Mr. Ilrown named D. M. I.raibury and S. K. Fletcher placed Warwick II. Ripley's nam" before the convention. Through the No. . .-side wards it was a fairly close race between McCray and Uradbury. The question of geography told heavily against Mr. Ripley, as hl3 ward had a number of candidates for other offices, and he was thus not able to make i j:te the showing that he naturally would. When the roll call reached the South-side wards it became apparent that Mr. McCray hid a good deal the best of It. After the roll was called through Pike township, Mr. McCray lacked but three or fou? votes of the nomination, and at this Juncture both Rradbury and Ripley withdrew, and their Joint motion to make Mr. McCray' s nomination unanimous was carried wdth much exuberance of enthusiasm.

A. J. Joyce Wins, with A. A. Yoniifr n Strong Competitor. As soonrs the contest for criminal Judge was over there began to be a perceptible stir in the convention. Th2 clerkship nomination was to be next, and wdth a splendid field of si candidates, interest in the contest was at fever heat Delegates began to stir from their s:ats and slip around to have the last word with friends In various parts of the hall, and it required not a little good-natured pounding of the" gavel to restore quiet. When nominations were called for D. W. Grubbs was placed b'fore the convention by R. O. Hawkins, David Wallace by Mr. Wilmington, Aurelius J. Joyce by the whole Thirteenth ward, T. F. Ryan by S. K. Fletcher, John W. Rowlus by C. A. Rookwalter and A. A. Young by A. N. Harding. The roll call began and proceeded quietly at first, but long toward the end the partisans of Joyce and Young and Rowlus could hardly retain their enthusiasm, and 'every time some precinct cast its rclld vote for one or the other of th:se a yell of applause would go up from his friends. The ballot was as follows:

As soon as the last precinct was In each crowd began cheering for its particular candidate, but the confusion was soon drowned out by the vociferous music of the band. Finally the ballot was figured up and the chair announced the following as th2 official result: Joyce, 271; Young, 223; Bowlus, 170; Grubbs, 43; Wallace, 77; Ryan, 22. There were several surprises in this ballot, not the least of which was the gTeat strength developed by Mr. Rowlus. The next ballot proceeded In short order, and it was soon seen that the race lay entirely between Messrs. Joyce and Young. Rowlus's strength rapidly went to pieces, and matters had not gone far when Ryan's name was withdrawn. A few precincts further on the name of Grubbs was withdrawn, still further narrowing the race down. As the ballot proceeded it became apparent that Joyce was going to be away In the lead, as nearly all the strength left Rowlus went to him, while most of the Ryan and Grubbs vote went to Young. When the Kallot was finished the figures of two or three Individuals who had kept tabs showed the nomination of Joyce by two votes, and there was a scene of remarkable enthusiasm following the close of the roll call. The Thirteenth Ward delegation, which was seated in the rear of the hall, pressed to the front and pulled Joyce off the stage and nearly pulled, his arm off wdth congratulations. Not satisfied with this, four stalwart men hoisted him on their shoulders, and while the band struck tp a lively air a regular procession marched down the aisle while the convention was yelling itself hoarse for Joyce. It was some minutes before order was restored, and when it was the convention found a surprise in, store for them. Joyce was not yet nominated. The official count gave him 4U-1 votes out of a total of 814 cast, requiring 408 to nominate. Sadly disappointed though Mr. Joyce's friends were, there was no murmur of dissent, and they sailed bravely In for another ballot. When It got to the Second ward the vote of the whole ward was announced as 52 for Joyce and 6 for Young. This was challenged, and the vote was called by precincts, giving Joyce 47 and Young 11. At this Juncture Mr. Young secured recognition and moved the nomination of Mr. Joyce by acclamation. This offered such a happy solution of the situation that the convention adopted the motion wdth wild demonstrations of pleasure, and for a moment It would have been hard to tell whether Mr. Joyce or his chief opponent, so generous in defeat, was more popular wdth the convention.

THE RACK II KT WE EX TWO. Hnrry D. Smith Chonen Auditor ly n Good .Majority. There was much of a bustle when Chairman Adams announced that nominations for auditor were in order. John B. Cockrum arose and placed in nomination "the man who redeemed Indianapolis Harry B. Smith." Mr. Spooner, of the Sixth ward, followed this by naming "the one-legged railroad man who was your candidate four years ago and who is everybody's friend John Browning." Several delegates Jumped up ready to second the nominations, but the chairman called attention to the rule which forbade the seconding of nominations. As there were only two candidates the roll-call Immediately began and there was close interest, for one ballot must, necessarily, determine the choice. In the first few wards the vote was close, although Mr. Smith had the best of it. A big majority of the delegations were split and this in itself repudiated any intimation that there was a "slate." Mr. Browning showed his best strength in the Ninth and Fifteenth wards, Mr. Smith having majorities in nearly every other ward. Six precincts in Wayne township were solid for him. The following is the ballot in detail: Precinct. Smith. Browning.

When the 172d precinct was called Mr. Smith had sufficient votes to nominate him, but the roll was proceeded with until the last precinct reported. Before the tellers made the announcement of the result, the delegates in the front part of the hall made a rush for the stage, where Mr. Smith was sitting, and he was dragged down to the shoulders of his' friends who carried him through the hall. The tellers announced the vote as follows: Smith, 4GSY2; Browning, 345v;. Only 407 was necessary for a choice on this ballot.

SCHMIDT roil TREASURER. He In Nominated llefore the Second Ilnllot In Completed. The race for treasurer was perhaps the most exciting one, for there were four candidates and the strength of each was only to be determined by a ballot. It was not known what effect ' the withdrawal of a weaker candidate at the end of a ballot would have on a succeeding ballot. Chairman Adams split another board in his table in quieting the hum of voices preparatory to taking a vote. William II. Schmidt was placed in nomination by the Seventh ward, which also cast its solid vote for the popular business man. Roger R. Shlel, Philip Relchweln and John J. Johnson were named as the other candidates. The Eighth ward supported Mr. Relchweln throughout, giving him thirty-five votes. Mr. Shiel did not de

velop the strength he expected. When the first ballot was completed it was seen that Mr. Schmidt was far in the lead, but he did not have a majority. Mr. Schmidt had far the best of the First. ward, the Second ward was split up and Mr. Scmidt having the advantage considerably in the Third. The first b'allot was announced as follows: Schmidt, 3S; Shiel, 151; Johnson. 133; Reichwein, 132. The ballot by precincts:

lie "Wun Nominated After Mr. Krause Had n Rlgr Lend. Immediately after the announcement of the result of the ballot for treasurer, and while Mr. Schmidt's friends were still carrying him around the room on their shoulders, Mr. Carter arose and caught the attention of the chairman. It was several minutes before the confusion incident to the congratulation of Mr. Schmidt by his friends had subsided sufficiently for Mr. Carter to be heard. When he finally addressed the chair he moved the adoption of the eagle as the emblem of the Republican party to be used on the ballots in the coming election. The- mention of the time-honored emblem of the Republican party was sullicient to again throw the convention into the wildest applause. The motion was carried, and immediately upon the announcement of the fact, the band struck up the tune "America." The chairman then announced that nominations for recorder were In order. Nominations were made in the following order: A. D. Shaw, Charles Dennis, Charles Krause, Robert E. Goff, Benjamin Franklin. Al Taffe, William E. Shilling and Theodore Stein. The first ballot resulted as follows: Krause, 230; Shilling, 115; Taffe, 111; Groff, 104; Shaw, 101; Franklin, 94; Dennis, 47; Stein, 9. The following is the summary of the ballot:

Mr. Moores, of the county committee, had the band play just as the first ballot was completed so that unnecessary noise might be avoided. The second ballot was begun wdthout much confusion. The first two wards showed gains for Mr. Schmidt, and when the Thirty-first precinct was reached Mr. Shiel appeared on the stage and withdrew his name after making a speech of several minutes. He said there was no aching in his heart at defeat, for it wa3 not essential that he should have an office. He could provide for his family1 otherwise. He said he could not be anything but a Republican; he. was an American and so was the Republican party. Mr. Shlel made some reference to the manner in which he failed to be nominated and there were a number of protests, but In a minute the convention was quiet again. A large portion of Mr. Shiel's vote went to Mr. Schmidt, who also made gains from other sources. When the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth precinct was reached attention was called to the smiling face of Mr. Relchweln. who had come to the front of the staere to withdraw In favor of Mr. Schmidt. The Chair, however, decided to complete the roll, but at Decatur township Mr. Johnson stepped forward and withdrew and the roll was never ended, Mr. Schmidt being declared the nominee by acclamation. Several hundred made a rush for the victor and had him on stout shoulders carrying him around the hall wdth the old-time Republican enthusiasm. HOW 3IR. SHILLING WOX.

pails of the hou?e. po that it was Impossible to judse by the enthusiasm mnnifeFtcd which had the strongest following. Wo mack started out in the lead and maintained it till the Fifth ward was reached, when the solid vcte was cast for Dunn. It was seen from the start that Hum inn and Oroyer had very little backing, with Mar Daws leading them by only a fw vcte3. Honors remained about even with Dunn ?n'," mack, with chufelton a clos? third, till me city wards had all been called. When est Indianapolis ad llauphvlllc were railed they went almost solid for Dunn. giyinrt him. at the close of the first ballot, a lead of 45 over Womack. The ballot stood as follows: Dunn. ICR Womack, 118; bhufelton, lOSpLontr. 10 R Boswell, 91; Cosier.. 91 ; DaWs. 3o; Grover. 51; Humann. 25. A nomination was too far off at this time to consider Dunn's advantage as amounting to j"' much. The following is the result of the first ballot:

When the result of this ballot wa.s announcedthe supporters of Mr. Krause were v.dld with enthusiasm and shouted for their man from all parts of the house. The result of the voting on the second ballot in the First ai.d Second wards seemed to indicate at first that the supporters of Mr. Krause were to be in-the majority, as lie made quite material gains and continued gaining gradually till the end of that ballot, when trie vote stood as follows: Krause. 217; brillin-r, 14'i: Snaw, 1X; Gro;f. 9$: Taffe, 91; Franklin. 4S; Dennis, 13. At this time .vir. Krauze had sue; n'irnei lead that Ine otiitr car-cidate bv;in to consider it a nopeless cat-:e, and .vles-;rs. Dermis, Franklin und Stein withdrew t::e:r names. Tiie third ballot was then ordered. The First ward began by giving Mr. Krause their lirst t.iree princti eo.id, followed by almost tue entire ward, Mr. h'.uw pettiiis: a few vote3 and Mr. Shilling ica-: o.ie of the tarei tie hj.d formerly hd in taat ward. The ward threw its strength to Mr. Shilling, giving hi:n Franklin's votes, iiuth caud;aaUj held tn;ir own until the fifty-second preclne: had voted, when Mr. nav was re. ornzed by tha chair and withdraw his name in favor of Mr. Sh!lliag.

Shiel stepped to the front of the stajre a:d btlc-r. any one wasi aware of what hU Intentions were called out so it could be heard all over the house, "I fou-at with taat man for fcur year?." Then the stampede bsgau going the oth?r way. Oid soldiers wouid arise wnen their precinct was called and call out their votes lor '"Comrade Shilling." At even mention of his nam: by an old soldier the convention would wild w:th applause. After calling a few more precincts Groff and Taffe withdrew, leaving the field clear for Krause and Sailling. Shilling then m?.de steady gains till VA2 end. wnen the result stood: Shilling, 441U; Krause, 3504; Shaw. 19; Oroff, 3. Mr. Shilling was immediately lifted on the shoulders of his admirers and carrIM around the hall, while he was kept bu--y shaking the hands of th; many old soldiers and others who had supported him when all seemed going the other way.

The second ballot was then called and, amid loud calls for Womack, Dunn and Shufelton, Merrill Moores, who stood in the center of the hall to repeat the votes as called, vainly strived to get order sullicient to proceed with the roll call. Finally, a semblance of order was secured and the roll call proceeded. Very few changes wero noticed in the votes till the Ninth ward was called, when Humann and Grover , withdrew their names. Their supporters, almost as a unit, went over to Dunn. The ballot resulted as follows: Dunn, 203; Womack, 1S7; Shufelton, 151; Roswell, 132; Long. 67; Cosier, 6; Davis. 8. At 6 o'clock, at the close of the second ballot for sheriff, the convention began to grow noisy. As the third ballot was announced some one moved to vote by wards, but the chairman decided this to be out of order, and explained that the vote could only be changed by a two-thirds vote of the convention. It was finally decided that those delegates who desired to vote by ward might do so. The third ballot was taken with difficulty. Republican enthusiasm was high, and several criers howled themselves hoarse in announcing the ballot to the secretary. As the vote of the twenty-fifth prec'.nc; of the First ward was announced William T. Long stepped to the stage and proclaimed his intention of withdrawing from the race. He retreated gracefully ami avowed that he should take off his coat and do his best for the winner. He was greeted with cheers and the vote proceeded. The third ballot resulted as follows: Dunn. 293; Womack, 135; Cosier, 1; Shufelton. 153: Roswell, 115; Long, 4. Necessary to choice, 4U8. As the vote was read the convention reached a state bordering on frenzy. The band, stationed at the right of the stage, struck up a march, but was cut off after the first half dozen a)ars of a spirited march. The chairman caught sight of Mr. Cosier and the latter signified that he desired to speak. He was given an opportunity, and stated that he proposd drawing out of the contest. He said he would reaign In favor of his friend, Mr. Roswell. and notwithstanding the fact that he did not seem to be in the race, he would stir himself in the interests of the man who was. The music by the band was again drowned in the cheer that went over the hall. It was nearly 7 o'clock when the convention quieted itself enough to proceed. The chairman rapped for order, but found himself unable to check the noise, anil finally sat down to wait until quiet could be restored. Many of the wards and townships abandoned the plan of voting by precincts In the fourth ballot and the vote was hurried through. On the fourth ballot the total number of votes cast was 814. with 40S necessary to a choice. The vote stood as follows: Dunn, 3j7; Shufelton. 110; Womack, 352; Boswell. 45. There was yat required nearly a hundred votes to nominate a sheriff, and a fifth ballot was necessary. As the chairman was about to call for the vote Mr. lioswell mounted the stage and addressed the convention. He said hi had made up his mind to withdraw, and although he would not withdraw in favor of any particular candidate, he did not care to be considered in the fifth lallot. The vOP then proceeded with deafening cries for Womack. On the call of precincts for the fifth ballot Dunn and Womack ran pretty evenly for a number of precincts with Shufelton bobbing up ever and anon for some votes. Whenever a precinct voted solidly for Mr. Womack the vote was greeted with deafening applause. The Dunn men seemed to have given up hope of pulling their man through and votes cast for him were sometimes received with faint applause arid .cheering, but were generally taken as a matter of course. Before the vote was completed it was apparent that Womack was the nominee. There were loud crle3 of "Womack." "Womack." When the vote was announced it was found that there was a total of 811 votes cast and that 4CS would be necessary for a choice. Womack received 462; Dunn, 201, and Srufelton. 118.

II. C. Miller and J. J.

The

ballot ran very close for a time, then Dr. Castor steadily forged ahead. Although Castor was gaining rapidly, it was doubtful If enough votes were not being cast for the field to require another vote. It required the calculations ot the secretary to settle the point as to whether thero was any nominaion. When the vote was announced it was found that Castor had barely pulled 'through. There were 812 votes case and 407 were necessary for a choice. Dr. Castor had received Just enough votes to nominate him. Dr. Rravton had received ISO, Dr. Garver 91 and Dr. Miller 15. Then there was more shouting and calls for Castor, who was seated 11 pen the stage.' but nominations fcr surveyor were called for and made. The following is the summan' of the ballot for coroner:

Thus a trreat )tal of time was lost. The following namexven presented cn the call for nomln iti r.s for county commissioner for the FIr.t district: II. F.
