INDIANA INDEPENDENTS

IN CONTENTION ASSEMBLED. WHAT A DAY BROUGHT FORTH. The Resolutions and Nominations of the Indiana Independent Convention Yesterday. THE FORENOON PROCEEDINGS. . IHK OROA5IZATIOIT CHAIRMAN WOLCOTT's ADDRESS REP0LTI08 AJiD PLATFORM KOMI NATIONS FOR GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, AUDITOR AND SECRETARY OF STATE. As predicted by tbe Sentinel, something more than six hundred delegate gathered iu the Academy of Music yeäterday to participate In the greenback convention. Their enthusiasm was somewhat chilled by the barn like temperature of the house. The furnace was out ot order; there was no fire In tbe building and the place wis cold enough to ftfete the hope of the most ardent greenbacker cf them all, bot they warmed up to the work before tbe convention closed and seemed well satisfied with tbe day's doings. Tbe character of the men chosen, politically peaking, will more fully appear in the ketches made by tbe Sen'lnel special on the spot and added to tn proceedings 01 tne convention. CALLED TO ORDKB BT E. A. O IX EM AM. The convention was called to order by Mr. F, A. OllemaD, who paid: Fellow Citizens of the State of Indiana: This large assemblage of earnest faces that I see before me is snfficiently indicative of the great in terest that tbe people of Indiana are now taking In public afiairs. We have met under extraordio ary circumstances. There Is a large amount of work expected of this convention. Not only tbe eyes of the people of Indiana, but tbe eyes cf the people of the nation are turned, looking toward tbe action of tbe Independent Convention of Indiana on the 16th of February. This Is not a time lor makiDg speeches but for work, and I announce that we are ready lor business. The first thing in order according to tbe programme will be tbe report of the committee on organization. R. M. Hazlett.of Putnam, chairman of the committee on organization, submitted a report recommecdiDg tbe Hon. Anson Wolcott, ot White, for permanent chairman. A unanimous and enthusiastic "aye!" approved the report, and MR. WOLCOrT WAS INTRODUCED by Mr. Olleman, 'amid loud and general applause. He said: Gentlemen I have tbe honor and responsibility ot presiding over this meeting of earnest men. This is the first Btate convention that has been held in this whole United States, the distinct purpose ot which la tbe working out of a system of financial reform. Through many years this country and other countries have Buffered periodically from something wrong and insufficient in tbe money systems of the world. In times of complete and perfect protection we have Lad great disasters. There have come sudden commercial revolutions and panics, which have prostrated business, thrown labor out of employment, and all through some unnatural and insufficient cause In the money systems of the country. For Instance we will take the case of Great Britain, which Is the seat of financial variation, and yet It is the great seat of capital. Those who are ACCUSTOM KD TO READ the history of the financial changes In the world will notice variations of Interest in tbe bank from eight to nine per cent., and find that those variations took place in the period of a few days or a few months, coin being the basis, and an Inadequate basis. Tbe arbitrary system Is put In force, and destruction comes to all material interest. Our secretary, in a report of a sptecb in respect to tbe depression in our business affairs and depreciation of property, says other countries are suffering: as badly as we are. He attributes our suffering to paper system. Others have a coin system and afr as rn.u.Qj is we, Tfcsr. i something wrong Sn tbe general money iysteUl. It is ! tbe inadeonüte supply of coin to meet the dezmnds of commerce and business of tbe world. It is as true that money Is required lor production as for exchange, and tbe moment money ceases to circulate production ceases. The advocates ot contracted currency say that money is only necessary to settle the balances. IT IS A GREAT ERROR. Without money to produce there is no balance to settle. For instance, tbe manufacturer has to buy the raw material. He has to rent or build a building. He has to put the machine In operation. And it is weeks, often months before the manufactures reach the hands of tbe consumer and returns come. In tbe meantime, unless there is money in the community posesed by the manufacturer or accessible to him, bis work of manufacturing or production must ceaae. His employes must go out of employment; their families must suffer. Now, Is it necessary that these variations, thess stringencies, unaccountable for, except tbat the basis is too small, shall be continued? We tbink not. We think tbat domestic money for the purposes of our internal trade and busicess and production, based upon tbe wealth of the nation, the faith of the nation, backed by tbe taxes of tbe nation can (rive us as good monev as coin. (Applause.) Tbe national bonds brirg coin me wona over. 11 tne national oDllga tlons in the form of bonds are tbe IQCIVALENT of com la the commercial world, then the national obligations In the form of money are as good as any other form of money. We have tbat basis that we can rely upon. The value of our domestic paper is In tbe fact tbat it is non convertible. Now tbe difficulty in the way of resumption lies in our foreign Indebtedness. Jt Is estimated that the aggregate of American securities held In Europe Is not less than THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and some estimate It as high as five. The Interest on this is 1200,000.000. Tbls whole indebtedness of 13,000,000,000 is but an aggre gate of balances tbat have been accumu lated since tbe war. At the beginning of tbe war the debts were small. But we have increased our obligation. All tl better obligations are reld in E a rope. Previous to the war after the mine' bad been yielding their gold and silver for f rty years, we tad two panics the panics of '31 and '57. Tbe balance of trale tor k our coin from us. We have now an enormou fore;gn debt. So mach so that it takes f 200,000,000 to pay tbe interest of tbat debt. Tbe position tbat we occupy Is tbat coin, as a basis, h aa impossible condition, and the thing Is greenbacks or nothing. (Applause). Tbe retirement of greenbacks Involves tbe retirement

of bank notes. The idea of ever reverting tD a redemption of our more; and sustaining a redemption is one of tbe most fatal and superficial ideas conceivable. In the mines cf California Is an Immense amount of coin developed at the rate of 190,000,000 a year. It does not keep us in coin. Suppose the secretary of the treasury lock up 5150,000 000 or t-00 ,000,000. the moment it is free it follows the gold and silver from the mines, and our creditors take it from us. Tbe work ot reform, gentlemen, of social and political reform, works slowly and works heavily. Necessity begets thought, and the suffering of our whole people, the depreciated value of our products on our farms have begot thought,' and out of that thought there will evolve a system which shall remedy the defects of tbe old. (Applause). THE COMMITTEE ON PERMANENT ORGANIZATION submitted a report recommending Harvey R, Harris, of Laporte, for secretary. Delegates to national convention for tbe state at large, Samuel Farley, Marion count j; Wm. Foster. Newton county; Uriah Conlson, Sullivan county; Allen W. Lewis, Wayne county. Alternates, John 8. Trusoob, Poey" county: Sample Lofton, Hamilton ronnty; J. S. Davis, Bartholomew county; Nathan Fidler, Randolph county. Presidential electors at large, A. T. Bliss, Laporte county: K. M. Gregg, Dearborn. Alternates, John Sutton, Marion county, John B. Miller, Parke. Tbe committee on RESOLUTIONS AND PLATFORM submitted the following report, which was ad opt od unanimously: We, tbe independent people of Indiana, being impressed with the necessity of a unity of action to secure a reform in tbe administration of the affairs of state, the better to secure relief to the toiling masses, against tbe extravagance and corruptions tbat have entered into every department of government, and to secure such a radical change of tbe financial policy as snail inure to the benefit of all clashes of American citizens alike, do hereby make declaration oi our principles, and Invite the co-operation and support of all true men. 1. We demand the immediate and unconditional repeal of the specie resumption act of Jan. 14, 1875. ' Resolved, That it Is the duty of the gov

ernment to establish a monetary system based upon the faith and resources of tbe nation, in harmony with tbe genius ot this government, and adapted to tne demands of legitimate business. Resolved, Tbat tbe circulating notes of all national and state banks, as well as all local currency, should be withdrawn from circulation and a paper money Issued by tbe government in payment of and exchange tor its obligations, directly to tbe people, without the intervention of any system of banking corporations. Kesolved, That such money shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, duties on imports included, (ex ce pt tbat portion of tbe interest and principal of tbe public debt tbat Is by tbe express terms of tbe law creating it made payable in metallic money shall so be paid); tbls money to be Interchangeable at the option of tbe holders with registered government bonds bearing a rate ot interest not exceeding 3 65 per cent, per annum. .We dtmand that the present bonded debt of the couotry be refunded, as speedily ss possible. Into registered, interchangeable bonds, that shall bear interest at a ra'.e not exceeding 3 65 per cent, per annum. That as tbe public domain is the rightful heritage ot the people, it should not be dis tributed to speculators or corporations, but reserved for actual settlers, and we favor tbe giving to each of the Union fcoldiers of the late war 160 acres of said latdof the public domain, without the condition ot actual occupation. We demand and insist upon severe retrenchment and economy in all branches of the public service. R. M. Hazelttt, Chairman. B. F. Jones, Secretsry. We recommend tbe adoption of this resolution, Independent of tbe platform: Resolved, That while we regard the attempt to drag the common school question Into the coming campaign as unnecessary, vet we do not hesitate to declare it as our well considered opluion that tbe fund set apart by the state for educational purposes should ever remain one and undivided, and tbat no part of It should ever be devoted to the maintenance of any sectarian or denominational school whatever. A delegate from Morgan moved to NOMINATE THE HON. FRANKLIN LANDERS for governor by acclamation. Mr. Tri plot t, of Monroe, insisted that the convention should act on his resolution, which had teen eubmitted to the committee as follows: Resolved, That any person nominated to any office other than a judicial by this Con vention shall be required to come oeiore it in person or by writing and signifying his acceptance, and in so doing he shall be required to absolve bims-lf from all allegiance to any other political party, and the nomination ot any one failing to comply to these requirements shalt be regarded as null and void and that tbe vacancy thus made snail be filled with some other person who will so comply. Tbe resolution was ruled out of order. Information as to Mr. Landers's standing on the greenback question was called for, and a dispatch frcm him to C. W. Bridges was read In which be said: "I hope you understand I will rise or fall with tbe greenback question." On a rising vote, Mr. Landers was nominated with three rou-ing cheers. Tbe Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White, was nominated in the same way for lieutenant-governor. In response to cries or "Wolcott I" " Wolcott !" "speech !" ''speech 1" Mr. Wolcott said: I will say to y)u, I tbank you very profoundly tor tbe distinguished honor conferred on me. I will say, moreover, tbat in relation to this question I deem tbat on one side stands permanent prosperity, and on tbe other a degree of poverty and destitution such tbat this generation has never seen. Mr. J. B. Buchanan moved that tbe action of tbe convention in nominating the Hon. Franklin Landers, and tbe substance of the platform adopted, be telegraphed to THE DISTINGUISHED NOMINEE with a request tbat he answer in time to have his reply read to tbe convention before It adjourns; and tbe motion prevailed. Ihe Daiance ot the ticket nominated was as fol lows: Secretary of State. Leroy Templeton. ot Benton county; Auditor of Statt , Morris N.Bundy, of Henry county; Treasurer of estate, John u. a. Newsom. ot Bulllvan county; Attorney General. Wm. A. Tipton. of Fountain county; Superintendent of Public Ins ruction, Robert S. Blount, of Greene county; Supreme Court Clerk, W. W.Con nor, or Hamilton coanty; Importer of the supreme Court, Charles ii. Knlgbt, ot Clay county; Supreme Court Judges First District, W. F. Parrett, of Vanderburgh county; Second District, J. D. Uaynes, of Dearborn county: Third District. U. C. Newcomb. ot Marion county; Fourth District, N. R. Lindsay, of Howard county. A DISPATCH FROM LANDERS. HIS VIkW CF THE FINANCES REITERATE: IF ELECTED GOVERNOR OF INDIANA HE WILL FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE. Washington, D. C, Ffb. 16. 1876. Messrs. A. Wolcott, President ot the Convention, and E. A. Olieman, Chairman pt the täte Central committee. Gentlemen: Your dispatch, announcing my nomination for the office of gorernor an3 containing a copy ot (he piatiorm

adopted by the convention, is duly received. 1 assure you, and throsgh you tbe convention, that 1 fully appreciate and highly esteem this mark of confidence at the hands of my fellow citizens, and that I have seen no cause to change my views, as publicly announced In my late canvass, bat on the contrary, have seen much, very much to strengthen and confirm my mind In the correctness ot these views, and as your declaration of principles on finance are in strict accordance with my views of public policy I shall use every proper effort to secure their adoption as the controlling policy In the economy of the federal and 'state governments. And if chosen to serve in the capacity ot governor of the state of Indiana, my highest ambition will be to so discbarge tbe duties of tbat highly responsible trust as to best promote the interests of the people, and merit tbat commendation due to a fai'hful public servant. Your friend and fellow citizen. Franklin Landerh.

THE CANDIDATES. THE HON. FRANKLIN LANDERS. The Hon. Franklin Landers, present representative from this district la congress, is so well known throughouttbe state that It is unnecessary to make any extended notice ot his career. By steady application to business and great industry he has gained tbe distinction of being an honorable and successful merchant. In politics be has been equally a success from bis first appearance before the people. He is known to be a man ot sincerity, consistency and fidelity to principle, come what may. Uis fearless position in congress has already brought bin) Into enviable prominence as an unflinching advocate of the greenback creed. He stood up for hla principles, against tbe prevailing policy ot bis parly, in tbe vote for Speaker Kerr, and was the first to introduce Into the House a bill for tbe repeal of the resumption act. In bis own forcible language, he will rise or fall with tbe greenback question. The people know it and believe in him, and tbe probabilities are tbat he won't fall. His nomination by the independents yesterday was an honor altogether unsolicited, and hence a more valuable expression of regard from workers In the same great movement, finan cial reform. ANBON WOLCOTT. Mr. Wolcott is a gentleman of considers ble ability and is well known to the people ot Indiana, especially the northern districts. In 1S66 he represented the counties of White, Pulaski, Banton, Jasper and New ton In the State Senate, having been elected as a straight republican. In the spirited senatorial campaign of 1809, wten Cumback was withdrawn to give Pratt tbe nomination, Mr. Wolcott bolted tbe cauens, having himself been spoken of as a pes -i ble nominee, and since then be has been a kind of political wan derer till be saw hope in tbe greentacs movement and anchored himself on the independent creed. For several years he has voted mixed tickets, preferring candi dates with greenback ideas and is to day one of the most powerful and prominent men in . this Independent . movement, .in statnre be is tall and robust, has a handsome, intelligent face, pleasing manners, good executive abilities and is about sixty y eai s o'.d. tils borne Is In Monticello, and he has con siderable means. - LEROT TEMPLETON. Mr. Templeton is another handsome man of- easy address and firm, honest countenance. He hails from Benton county, where he owns vast acres and carries on an exten sive stock farm. His age Is forty-five. Mr. Templeton's antecedents are republican and be still clings to the main features of tbat party, but was compelled to bolt from its financial views when congress passed tne Infamous act of 1869, pledging tbe country to a gold redemption. His horns is twentyfive miles from Lafayette, and he will carry the votes of a large district. MORRIS N. BUNDT, the nominee for auditor, was not present yesterday to show himself, and hence our readers are deprived of a personnel. He is also a farmer In comfortable circumstances, living in Henry county, and is represented as about forty-five years of age, and blessed with constitutional vigor for a campaign. He was an old line republican, vot ing solid with the party for year?, but kicked out ot the traces in 1872, joined the Greeley ranks and has, since then, been a pronounced greenback advocate of the inde pendent school. JOHN Q. A. NEWSOM. Mr. Newsom, who secured the nomination for treasurer, dis played his familiar form on the platform. He is not unknown to our citizens, as he frequently visits the city and has often been in attendance at the meetings of tbe grange, of which he Is a prominent member. He belongs to a wealthy family, tbe Newaoms, of Sullivan county owning immense tracts ot land and being known as successful farmers. His home ia near Azalta, One ot tbe Quaker centers ot tbe state, but his bulky - frame would . cot lead the beholder . to suppose he comes ot Quaker stock. His age Is about forty-five, 'his msnner somewoat nervous, and his style of oratory very spasmodic. - He was one of the originators of the Independent movement in tbls state, and, tbocgb not a man of much foroe, txcept physically, is ccumed a göod representative ot the greenback movement, and will command tbe strength ot his district. WILLIAM A. TIPTON. Judge Tipton, of Fountain county, nominee for attorney general, is a thorough representative man of tbe money . movement, and for several years has been a warm advocate ot the indepeadent position on finances. His antecedents are bed rock democratic. He has served acceptably aa common pleas judge for Fountain and Warren, and is counted a lawyer of considerable ability. He Is rather easy and judicial in manner, of pleasant appearance.aod tbe streaks of gray in his sandy beard Indicate an age of about forty-five. ROBERT S. BLOUNT. .There is not much to be said of the nomiinee for superintendent of public instruction. He is a young man, of Worthingtou, Greene county, whose fitness lor the position has been vouched for, principally on the score of his orthodox greenback views. Mr. Gow was brought forward, but be disclaimed being a politician, and that settled his hash. W. W. CONNOR. For Supreme Court clerk the convention made a very sensible choice in Mr. Connor. He is about the only man In Hamilton county of that political etrlpe who can command tbe votes of all parties. His home is near Noblesville, where he has honorably filled tbe position of county clerk, to which he was elected by the citizens pretty much regardless of party, arid be can overcome' the republican majority in Hamilton county without much doubt. Mr. Connor Is a small, active man of fiftysix, ready as a speaker, affable and easy in hla address. II has been Id entitled with the Independent party for tbe past six years,

and his nomination by the democrats Is thought probable. CHARLES K. KNIOHT. When Mr.. Knight was beaten for the nomination for clerk, he was indorsed by acclamation for Supreme Court reporter. His borne is In Brazil, Clay county, where he baa been a pronounced democrat and has performed public f ervice by a call of tbat party. He comes of a wealthy family, his father being well known as the founder of Kuigbtsville, and tbe sen is a lawyer ot much ability and sound views on the financial Issues. He will make a strong race. Ilia age is twenty-nine. WM. F. PARRETT, the nominee for the supreme bench from the first district, is a sound democrat, who has never moulted a feather cf hla allegiance to the party, and probably never will. Ha now holds a position on the circuit bench of Vanderburgh, to which he was elected on tne democratic ticket.- Financially bis views are well known, es he was tbe firs: fudge to decide that greenbacks are a legal tender. Heran In tbe congressional raf-e against Fuller, but came out behind. His selection is considered a win one, but it i uncertain whether he will accept the nomination.. J. D. HATNES. Judge Uaynes, of Dearborn, nominee for the econd district, Is a man of ability, having Berved acceptably on tbe bench for several terms, and his frleods claim bis name will "firry strengt a with It over a large district. In politics he has always beeu a republican and is vouched for aa a strenuous advocate of tbe greenback movement. H. C. NKWCOMB. The somluation of Judge Newcomb, of this ciy, for tbe third judicial district was a well deserved compliment to his ability and integrity. It the independents bad searched the republican party ever they could not bave made a wiser selection. His decisions from tbe Superior Bench stand ss law, commanding tbe unqualified reaped of the profession evervwbere, and hie call to- tbe Supreme Bench would give universal satis'aotfön. In politics, Judge Ntwcomb is and always bas been a pronounced republican, maintaining bis principles stou'ly as a member of the legislature and while editor of tbe Journal. Mr. Geisendorff vouched for bis greenback view?, but it is well to remember In this connection that tbe-te Judicial candidato are absolved frcm fealty to tbe platform. N. R. LINDSEV. Judge .Llndsey, of Howard, nominee for the fourth district, is an old line democrat witb'tbe Greeley appendage, and sound on tbe currency question. THE HEBREW TO BE HANGED. HB HAS A ETRiFOS INTERVIEW WITH THE BROTHER OF THE MURDERED GIRL. The New York Herald ol Tuesday says: Deputy Sheriffs Howard and Lyons perfoim the duty of keeping watch day and night over the doomed slayer of Sara Alexander in tbe murderers' corridor of the Ray mood street jail. He eats and sleeps about tbe same as usnal since bis incarceration and the doctors say tbat his general health is not bad. He has grown greatly depressed in spirits since Saturday and weeps fre quently, while he - shrinks from tbe gazs of those who visit the prison. His death warrant was deliverd to tbe sheriff yesterday. Rabenstein yesterday. In co iveiratlon with Detective Zandt, who has been the chief agent ot tbe police in working up tbe case against the prisoner, told tbat "bis blood" would be upon him (Zandt) and his family, and tbat he would regret what he bad done before ' the close ot tbe present year. Su frequently be asked Zandt to bring J. P. Alexander (Sara's brother) over to tbe jail, as he said he bad something to communicate to bim which was or importance. Thinking that Pescu was about to make a full confession ot the crime, the detective went to New York, and, alter considerable persuasion, prevailed upon Alexander to accompany him to the Rtymocd street jaiL As soon as the two men the prisoner and tbe brother of the murdered girl met , they ; shook bands and opened a conversation in tbe RusBO-Polish language, which was not intelligible to Zundt, who withdiew, but kept a close watch on them. Finally he heard Hubenstein entreat, in the German language, Alexander to give him a pin, and as the officer feared tbat he would attempt to open an artery with a pin be went forward and told J. P. Alexander not to give it to him. Af.er an bout'd conversation they separated, shaking bands. Alexander said, as he knew Pesach was to be hung, he would forgive bim for tbe crime he had committed. Tbe defective says tbat were it not for tbe Inducement of a revision ot tbe sentence of death and a new trial, which some of tbe prisoner's friends hold out, Hubenstein would make a confession ot the erime. As it is, he solemnly asserts tbat he is Innocent, and Fays be will never be hung. He is very much grieved in bis religious Bentiment at having been sentenced to death on Saturday, tbe Jewish Sabbath. Many of his frleuds of the synagogue sympatbizs with him in tbat respect to such an extent tbat yesterday two Hebrew lawyers visited tbe Court of Oyer and Terminer and asked Judge Pratt to set aside tbe sentence of death passed on their Sabbath day and to resentence the prisoner on someday devoted by their law to servile labor. The court refusel to comply with tbe request and the lawyers retired disappointed in their mission.

. Columbus is in an uproar on account of the burglaries and rowdyism which are giving the city a bad name. And yet it is not as bad as North Vernon. "O wearisome condition of humanity I" How many wretched homes In our land! How many heart-broken Invalids I Life with many signifies a mere onerous existence. All are subject to disease, but when health is removed tbe hope is nearly gone out. Sickness is usually incurred through exposure or carelessaess. Especially is this true with those diseases peculiar to woman. Through her own imprudence and tolly she Is made to drag out a miserable ' existence a source of annoyance and anxtety to her friends, and anything but a comfort and pleasure to herself. Exposure to tbe cold at times when she should be most pru dent, and overtaxing her body with la borious 1 employment, are botn fruitful causes of many of tbe maladies from which she suffers. Gradually the bloom leaves her cheeks, her lips grow ashy white, her vivaoityVieparts, she continually experiences a feeling of weariness and general languor, and altogether presents a ghostly appearance. What does she need? Should sbe take some stimulating drug, which will for the time make her" lee 1 better," or does her entire system demand reparation? She requires something which not only will restore to health the diseased organs, but will tone and invigorate the system. Dr. Pierce's Favorlre Prescription will do this. It imparts strength to tbe diseased parts, brings back tbe glow of health, and restores comfort where previously there was only suffdring. Every invalid lady should send for "Tbe People1 Common Sense Mejical Adviser," In which over fifty pagos are devoted to the consideration of those diseases pecnliar to Women. It will be sent, post paid, to any address, for fl 50. Address R. V. Pierce, M. D., Vorld'a Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y. Agents wan tea to bou tnis valuable work.
