THE IIJDIA17APOLI3 JOUrjIAL, ' .32.1DAC,

Tfc contrast betxeen th hypocritical oorhes. with bad war-time record, and his later-lay profession of friendliness for the veterans. anJ the young Congressman, who had done o much for the soldiers. In so short a Mme. wh brought out with telllnrr effect. The bill Mr. Ovens treet introduced miking a pension a vestel rifht was also re- ' frrel to. Two years ago Mr. Overstreet lowered the Democratic majority in Johnson county (rem CO to 73. and this year, Mr. Brown promised he would wipe it out entirely and brine the county into the Republican rark. William Dosson. of the Marlon county delegation, seconded th nomination of Mr, Overstreet. John W. Ray said he wanted to "vote for Je?e because his rather was on of th old guard of 'Li." Ey acclamation Mr. Overstreet was nominated. lie appeared an! was warmly received. y MR. OVERSTREET SPEAKS. After expressing his thanks, Mr. Overstreet said he found hlmsflf in a unique position, serving a term in Congress from one district and sullenly Introduced to another district for Indorsement. Yet, Mr. Overstreet said, he was bcrn within twenty ml!es of the convention hall, and the territory of Johnson and Marlon counties was cherished lanJ to him. He lived In the neighborhood all hi3 life. Th fertile fields of Johnson county were now Joined with the metropolis of one of the greatest States In the ITrilon. The position of the district in commercial relations was also unique. The men who toil In the factories of trie metropolis and the sturdy workers of the soil in Johnson county are Joined together in one political district. The harmony of these two great interests, Mr. Overstreet showed, types the very foundation principles of the Republican party, and it is well that the result is as great as the origin. Indlanapclls ha1 done much better than its sister cities during the hard time, and thi3 only lilus:rated that it Is one- of the soundest cities In the Union. There have heeu fewer failures la proportion to population than elsewhere. ....... Mr. Overstreet then reviewed the efforts or the present House of Representatives to relieve the harsh condition that have existed, and thee efforts were made In the face of the chief executive's objections. The Republicans In Congress founl a deplorable s;ate of affairs. Conrldence had hidden somehere, and the fat treasury which the Harrison administration turned over had been depleted. Th Republicans in the lower branch of Conpress had been able to do some good in spite of the obstacles. Having found the treasury depleted and confidence badly shaken, the Republican majority of the House, placing patriotism above "party, and believing "he serves his party best who serves his country best," pre pared a measure for the Immediate relief of the treasury known as the "bond bill." and a revenue measure, and passed both with commendable speed and a strength of vote that was both surprising and gratifying. The revenue measure was not as strong as the party might wish, but wa3 deemed best under the circumstances. These; measures were treated by the Senate with less patriotism and a substitute offered, the enactment of which would have brought ruin to confidence and have completely tienicrallzed business. The true basis of prosperity is the return to the Republican doctrine of protection, and ttie guarantee of a currency that shall be arable and secure, and circulate as the lifeblood of commerce, with each dollar of equal value and at par In every known market. The responsibility for not further relieving the country rested largely with thla upper body. Mr. Overstreet' s apecch. which was extemporaneous, was a fine efforr, and was loudly applauded. After he had concluded the convention adjourned, and the next Representative from this district held an informal levee in the ante rooms adjolnfng the court. Mr. Overstreet will return to his duties at Washington In a few days. SIXTH DISTRICT.

All Sare Hnneock County Voted Finally fur Johnion. Special t the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE. Ind., April IS. Henry U. Johnson received the nomination as Representative in Congress from the Sixth district at the convention held here to-day. Thus ends the greatest political bitile for congresi ional honors ever waged in this district. For weeks there has been but one topic, and beside It all other matters dwindled into Insignificance. Delegations from the different counties began arriving last evening; and by 8 o'clock the hotel corridors were crowded. There had been various rumors afloat that a ."dark horse would be sprung by some of the aton counties in preference to casting a vote for Johnson, but these rumors were boon dispelled, and it was soon clear tliat Johnson would practically have no opposition. Mr. Watson arrived from Washington during the day, and late last night held a caucus with his Intimate friends here for the purple of outlining the policy he should pursue tn the convention to-duy. He doclaed ne would withdraw his name from the convention. The delegations wnlcU came m on tne uornlng trains to-day were met by a oand and escorted t; the Opera House.. Nearly fery business house Jn the cl.y was uecox.ned. At lo:2) o'clock Discrici Commliteenan L. I Mitchell called the convention to order and Hon. M. K. r'orknr, of New Castle, was chosen chairman and V. tf. Montgomery, of Oreenfleid. secretary. Atter the appointment of committees on resolutions, credentials and permanent organization tne meeetlng was adjourned until 1UW p. m., at which hour the Opera House was well crowded. On the ore aide were ranged Franklin, UiuJh. Shelby and Hancock counties, and on the other Henry, Wayne, Fayette and Union counties. Ibere was a fight cn the resolution?, and here Mr. Watson's friends won a decided victory by knocking ou: the unit system, which resulted in his dereat. It was decided that hereafter the primaries in the Sixth shall be .hell in all counties on the same day, and the man receiving the largest number of votes In the district shall be, the nominee for Congress. In addition to this the resolutions recomjnenJed the State convention to Instruct. th delegates at large to vote and work for the nomination of McKinley at St. Louts, and Frank 'M.-Mllikan was indorsed for delegate at large. The roll of the counties was next called for nominations for congressional candidates. Hon. John Payne, of Fayette county, presented the name of H.'U. Johnson, and Rush, by Colonel Edward Wolf, presented the name cf Hon. James E. Watson. When the vote waa called for Mr. Watson arose and rieir.anded recognition from the chairman. His appearance Immediately precipitated a furious Watson demonstration, his frltnds standing up and cheering and shouting his rame. The opposition was taken by surprise, and, fearing some coup, began to cry Watson down. They remembeted the dramatic scene in that other convention, where Watson was not a candidate, but where his speech caused a stampede that resulted In fcis nomination. Chairman Forkner refused to recognize- Watson, and ordered the vote to proceed, amid a chorus of groans from the Wation counties. At this point Capt. It. A. Black, of Greenfield, arose to a point of order and said that, inasmuch as It was Mr. Watson's purpose, to withdraw his name from the co.Tventlon, he should be allowed to speak. Chairman Forkner. seeing that Johnson was j In no clanger, decided that Mr. Watson had tha floor. Mr. Watson had remained Handing during the discussion, occasionally addressing the Chair. Tn recognition obtained, he spoke as follows: "I am 'a Republican, and I desire the succeed of the Republican party above every political consideration. And I hope arter the convention is over, and we shall all have gone back to cur respective, counties and resumed business, that a movement will be inaugurated whereby every Republican county in the district shall Increase its majority; that Hanrock county may throw off the shackles of Democracy, and Franklin and Shelby reduce their Democratic majorities. I trust all scars will be healed and all wound be bound up. I know when I have had enough. Having heard the voice of the people, I hearken, and In the interest of unity and harmony I withdraw my name from this convention and move to make the nomination of Mr. Johnton unanimous." The question was put, but there was a itorm of negatives from tha Watson counties, which refused to let Watson out of the race. The roll call was proceeded with, the ballot resulting as follows: Johnson. Watson. Wilson. Fayette 3a Franklin 17 Hancock. ?t lenry S3 Hush :S Shelby .. I'nion It Wayne SS Totals 1LI W 20 Rush county afterwards rcciuish1rcd her vote and gave It to Johnson, ami after Shelby cast her vote for Hon. D. L. Wilson he declined and the vote went to Johnson. C. H. Campbe.l. of the .Shelby delegation, treated considerable excitement by announcing: lf Johnson wains the vote of Shelby and Hancock coumlft he will have to get down on ail fours Wrose Mr. Watson and rx'g that gentleman's pardon." S!d Conner, after the delegation had reconquered, arose and announced the tote nf Shelby for Johnson. This left the ballot: Johnson. 3-"0; Watson.. CI. Hancock refusing absolutely to vote for Johnson, fiood feeling prevailed, but it, was very evident that it cost a struggle on the part of somo of the delegations i give Watson up. At the concluion of the convention busd-nc-s Hon. Join I. Griffltr.v of Indianapolis, and Judge Tcdi. of Dluffto.), both candidates for Coventor, ' made 'short speeches. Zlr V.'ttzon will return , to Washington to-

morrow. He has offered his services to the State committee and will stump the State this fall. A telegram from Mr. Johnson to-day announces his condition as much worse than yesterday. FIFTH DISTRICT.

Xo Dissenting? Voice Against Farls's Itenomlnatlon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE. Ind.. April 16.-There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of the republicans of the Fifth district here to-day. The congressional convention was called to order by C. II. Case, of Greencastle, as chairman. George M. Allen, of, Tcrre Haute, was chosen secretary. Judge John V. Hadley, of Danville, Hendricks county, placed George W. Faris, of Terre Haute, In nomination for Congress, and the nomination was seconded by each of the other counties in the district, and Mr. Faris was nominated without a dissenting voice. Mr. Faris spoke a half hour. The address increased the enthusiasm. While there were no candidates to compete with Mr. Faris, there could be seen indications that he would not much longer have the right of way. There was Adams, from Tarke, early on the ground, who has a host of friends in the district who would not only like to see him in Congress, but would do all In their power to put him there. He is best known as the "gentleman from Parke," who took a leading part on the Republican side In the exciting scenes attending the closing of the last session of the .Legislature. Judge Grubbs was chairman of the committee on resolutions. The resolutions favored sound money and Indorsed both Congressmen Faris and Overstreet. They also indorsed James T. Johnston for Governor. The convention also passed the following: "We believe the thirty years of uninterrupted control of national affairs by the Republican party, and especially the last four years of the administration in the hands of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, to be the most resplendent era of commercial and political prosperity enjoyed by any nation since the days of civilized government began; that we give renewed and unqualified expression of our confidence in the absolute virtue of protection to American Industry, and insist that the present tariff law, intended solely to raise revenue and falling even in that born and nurtured to life in an atmosphere of free trade. State rights and loose ideas of national honor, be wiped from the statute books; that we reafftm our faith In the glorious principle of reciprocity, as Inaugurated in the McKinley bill and made Immortal by the genius and diplomacy of James G. Blaine, and demand the restoration of those commercial relations with other nations which, until abrogated by the Democrat party, had done so much, to Increase our foreign trade." A DB3IOCIIAT FIIOZEX OUT. The Party Has Flsht on Its Hands at RnshTlllc. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE, Ind.. April 16. The Democrats of Uushville have been of the notion for some time that, they could capture two of three councilmen to be elected at the May election. But an unlooked-for Incident in their own stronghold, the Second ward, iias dissipated their hopes. Councilman Philip Ileeb, who has Represented the Second ward for six years, was a candidate for renominatlon. Richard Purcell. a young man. came out against Ileeb about two weeks ago and developed great strength. Tho aspirations of the "boy candidate" were at first looked on as a Joke, but last night as young Purcell marshaled forty of his supporters at the Big Four depot and marched them double file to the Council chamber. In which the convention was held, it was evident that a hard fight had to be made to beat him. On the first ballot young Purcell led Heeb by one vote. Then the Heeb managers began challenging the Purcell voters, and a big row ensued. For a time an old-fashioned Kentucky convention held the boards. Purcell finally sprang up and said: "Mr. Chairman, I withdraw my name. You can have your blanketyblank nomination, but I'd like to see the man who gets It win." Purcell and his followers then left the Council chamber and the convention adjourned In an uproar. Will Day .McKinley Had. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

GLASS TRUST FIGHT

JODOCnS PLOTTING TO BRI5G MANUFACTURERS TO TEXIMS. Coal Miners Strike at Star City Harry Cardie Helping Spend Gould Dollar- In Paris. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELYVOOD. Ind., April 16. Local window glass manufacturers arc greatly alarmed ever the outlook for the trade and declare that the present state of affairs is the re sult of an attempt on the part of the jobbers and brokers to mash the manufacturers' combine and force them to reduce prices by Importing foreign glass. They assert that the Jobbers have refused to take the amount agreed on, thus allowing stocks to pile up in the plants and thus force an early clos ing of the plants. The manufacturers combine has been in control of the trade for fome months and in that time the importa tion of foreign glas has been greater than In any like period for years. Thi3 has had the effect of mollifying to a great extent tne sharp advance in prices caused by the com bine which are now 40 per cent, higher than before they assumed control of the trade. The Jobbers appear to have become enraged at being deposed from being in control and are now trying to force the com bine to reduce prices, which will result m the trust going to pieces in a short time. The Jobbers expect by continuing the im portations or foreign glass to rorce tne manufacturers to come to the Jobbers' terms In a few months at least. The closing down of the plants one month earlier makes the year's work short three months and will cut the earnings of the men one-third below the normal. In the struggle between the Jobber and manufacturer labor is belnj.crusned between two stones and '13 getting the worst of It. A similar condition of affairs exists in the Dlate zlass industry and the action of the trust in forcing the Jobbers out of business by establishing agencies In the principal centers of distribution it Is feared will precipitate a fight between the Jobbers and the trust. It Is thought this action on the part of the trust was taken to forestall an attempt on the part of the Jobbers to compel manufacturers to sell to certain Job bers who could handle a speclned amount each- year, all their product thus forming a Jobbers trust and placing the manufacturers and consumers at it mercy. Should the Jobbers begin now to Import foreign glass It would greatly complicate affairs. Convention Sunday of Glass Worker. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind.. April 16.

SURPLUS rtEVENTES FOR THE PAST FISCAL YEAR. OVER 21,000,000. Budget, Statement Presented ' to the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. LONDON. April 16.-In the House of Commons to-day the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, made the budget statement. He said that the surplus for 1895-DS was f 4,210,000 'and he . estimated the expenditure for the current year at 100,047,000. The Chancellor of the cl-Exchequer sail that this had been a wonderful year and one of unexampled revenues In spite of the fact that the expenditures had been the largest since the great war. The surplus was the largest ever known and a larger sum was devoted to the reduction of the national debt than ever known. The condition of the working classes, he continued, judging from the consumption of tea, tobacco and sugar, had materially improved and it was a remarkable fact that while the decrease In the exports and Imports for the first six months amounted to 7,531,000, the Increase for the second half of the year 'amounted to f28,22S,000. Tea. Sir Michael Illcks-Bcach further remarked, was driving coffee out of the market andJBrltish and Irish spirits were entirely diIacing foreign spirits. , The Increase in the importation of tea was 10,000.000 from India and Ceylon and replacing so much Chinese tea. The Increase In the import of tobacco was 108,000 pounds. The Increase in the Importation of tobacco was 108,000 over the. estimate, chiefly for cigarettes. The customs authorities calculated, he added, that 1,000.000 yearly was thrown in gutters In the shape of the ends of cigars and cigarettes. The Imports of wine had Increased 1,256,000: light wines were preferred. Beer had Increased 617,000; the death duties were f2,8Sl,000 and stamps 1.620.000. Referring to the estimates for the current year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that the expenditures K were placed at 100.047,000 and the revenue calculated upon was 101,755,000. Touching on the proposed reduction In expenses. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said that the government proposed to reduce the maximum land tax from id on the pound to Id, which would absorb 100,000 of the surplus; allot 975,000 to reducing the rating of the farm lands, devote 433,00u for the education bill and 200,000 to a slight alteration of the death duties. This, he continued, would leave .a modest surplus for contingencies. The Financial Secretary of the Treasury, the Right Hon. R. W. Hanbury, in the House of Commons to-day, replying to a question, said that representations had been made to the United States relative to the order regarding the mailing of newspapers from that country by American line steamers alone, and a reply to this communication was awaited by the government. The budget statement is commented on by all the newspapers. The Times and the Conservative organs praise the budget. The Graphic, "as a friend of the government," says: "Nothing will be gained by pretending that it is anything but a landlord's budget." The Dally News, the Liberal organ, says: "Nobody who is not a landlord will have any cause to thank the Chancellor of the Exchequer." Tne Dally News also complains that the income tax has not been reduced. The Chronicle (Liberal) says: "His speech establishes Sir Michael Hicks Beach's reputation and will rank him among the great Chancellors of the Gladstone type, but there is nothing to praise in his policy. The rich man wltir a rent roll ls the only man who will get relief." FIGHTING RESUMED. Rebels Defeated by the Hondaran Troops In Two Engagements. M1ANAGUA. Nicaragua, April 16.

FOE THOMAS 15. REED. (Conelndrrt from First Page.) friends of Mr. Hobart declare that his candidacy for Vice President will be vigorously pushed. They recognize, however, that if an Eastern man heads the ticket, his chances are weakened and it was for this reason some of his friends endeavored to secure the indorsement of McKinley. The platform, in its first section, declares for a tariff that will afford adequate Income for the expenses cf the government, avoid l.icrcase of the national debt, revive American industries, restore American wages and re-establish the national prosperity on a sound and statle basis. The second section demands that "the reciprocity policy adopted by a Republican administration and destroyed by the Democrats should be restored." The Monroe doctrine is Indorsed In the third section, and in the fourth there ls a demand for a more virile foreign policy and for an enlargement of the navy and the construction of coast defenses. Section 5 says that the practical sympathy of this Nation should be extended to all peoples who have been driven, by oppression and wrong, to take up arms In behalf of the right of self-government. The exclusion of criminal, pauper and anarchistic Immigrants is demanded. Discriminating duties in favor of American bottoms is favored. Th money plank comes next. It reads: 'The standard value In this country and In the other principal commercial nations of the world is go'.d. Wages and prices have been made ana fixed in accordance with this standard, and the welfare of the people demands that It shall be maintained. We regard the agitation for the free coinage of sliver as a serious obstacle to our country's prosperity." The eight section says: "Relying on the discretion of our delegates to voice the preference of the Republicans of New Jersey in the national convention' we refrain from hampering their action by specific instructions, and we' pledge and devote ourselves to the hearty support of the ticket there to be selected Indulging at the same time the hope that redeemed New Jersey may be represented on the national ticket in the person of her able and distinguished cit'zen, the Hon. Garrett A. Hobart." State Senator Edward C. Stokes was chairman of the convention. When, in the course of his address on assuming the chair, the Senator spoke eulogistlcally of Major McKinley, there was an outburst of applause that continued for nearly five minutes. A mention of Mr. Hobart as a fit man for the vice presidency was also greeted with enthusiastic cheers. After the delegates had been selected, the platform, as given above, was reported. The McKlnleyites began their fight a.4 soon as the resolutions had been read. Congressman MrEwan spoke against the plank declaring against the noninstruction of delegates and offered a resolution instructing for McKinley. He was1 ruled out of order. Delegate Edgar, of Rahway, offered a substitute requesting the delegates to support McKinley. He also was declared out of order, the Chair ruling that' the resolutions should go to the committee on resolutions the convention having 'previously adopted the platform. Senator Sewell spoke vigorously against instructing the delegates, saying that sooner than go to St. Louis with a tag, he would resign. The resolutions of McEwan and Edgar were laid on the table and the convention adjourned. Four of the eight district conventions to elect two delegates to St. Louis were held this forenoon, with the following re?ult: First district Ex-Co ngreas man George Elhrs, of Salem, and rx-Sheriff Robert , P. Hand, of Cape May. Second district Ferdinand W. Roebling. of Mercer, and Capt. A. M. Bradshaw, of Ocean. Fourth district A. Blair Kelsy, of Warren, and Stephen K. Large, of Hunterdon. Fifth district William Barbour, of Bergen, and Joseph Quackenbush, cf Passaic. The Sixth and Eight districts did not hold conventions to-day, but It Is practically agreed that the, delegates from the Sixth will be J. Frank Fort and Charles Brpdley, of Newark, and those of the Eighth will be Frank Bergen, of Elizabeth, and Wiliam RIcker, of Essex. None of the district delegates elected to-day were instructed. The conventions of the Third and Seventh districts were held last week. Illinois A. P. A. After McKinley. 6PRINGFIELD. 111.. April 16. It developed here to-night that there is a wellorganized plot to defeat McKinley Instructions in the Republican convention here April 29. The circular sent out by the advisory committee of the A. P. A. denouncing -McKinley on the ground that he made appointments of Roman Catholics and because Richard Kerens and Stephen B. Elklns,' McKlnuley managers, have denounced th A. P. A. was read In all A. P. A. lodges in this city to-night, and resolutions were adopted denouncing McKinley, and A. P. A. delegates to the State convention Instructed for McKinley will be asked to violate their instructions. It ls stated that Hon. J. Otis Humphrey, who Is a warm persor.a.1 friend of Senator Cullom. and who led the fight in the county convention here for Cullom, but who is a delegate to the national convention from this district, and 'who is instructed for McKinley, Joined the A. P. A. to-night and will lead the fight for Linton, , the A. P. A. candidate tor president. Teller and Shafroth AVI 11 Dolt. DENVER, Col., April 16. The Times says: Senator Teller and Representative Shafroth have decided definitely that they will not be candidates fo- election as delegates to the national Republican convention. They feel that there ls no hope that the convention will nominate a candidate or ydopt a plat form which they can Indorse. Both say they cannot support a gold standard candidate for the presidency, not matter by what party nominated, and they would only place themselves in an embarrassing position by participating In a convention which Is certain to make a position against silver as they consider the Republican convention to be. Mr. Teller says he promised the people of Colorado in 1894 that he would not sunoort a gt Id standerd man in the campaign of liOS. and that he will not change his poslilcn now. WASHINGTON. April 16.-Senator Teller to-day confirmed . the report that he did not expect to be a candidate for delegate to the Republican national convention from Colorado, but declined. to give his reasons for taking this position. Does This Mean McKinley f COLUMBUS. O., April 16. The United Mine Workers' convention to-day adoDted a resolution which is practically an Indorsement of Major McKinley. A resolution was introduced recommending the nomination of Eugene Debs for President by the Populist national convention at St. Louis in July. About two-thirds of the delegates were wearing McKinley badges, and W. C. Webb, eft Kentucky, said the idea of adopting a resolution favoring a Populist candidate with a pe-ck of McKinley badges in sight was ludicrous. The following substitute was adopted: "That we recommend to the wage earners of the country the advisability of nominating a representative wage earner or a well-known friend of the wealth producers for the presidency of the United States to be held next November." M ill Rule or Ruin. DENVER, Col., April - 16.-The Rocky Mountain News says editorially to-day that the representatives of Colorado In the national gathering of the Democratic party will walk out of the hall and out cf the party unless the platform contains an unqualified declaration for free coinage and the candidate is suited to the platform. After .Senator Tillman finished his speech last night the convention reassembled and comoleted the election of delegates at large and district delegates, making the selection as follows: Delegates at large C. 8. Thomas, of Arapahoe county; T. J. O'Donnell, of Arapahoe county; B. O. Sweeney, of Las Animas, and Adair Wilon. of La Plata. First district W. Speer. Second district H. H. Seldomridge.

When he lay In his cradle he was Uilnkin? out rroMemt in Euclid, and when he was a boy he found more pleasure in studying his lessons than, he did in play. I am told by veracious persons who knew Dingley in his youth that hli mother used to drive him out to play with a broomstick and forbid him to study more than ten hours a day. Dingley has no humor. He has no capacity for the enjoyment of what the rest of the world calls pleasure. His social Instincts are not developed. Why.
