IN THE FIELD.

OUR NLW COUNTY OFFICERS, TYOBK OF TUE CONVENTION. "ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRACY. A Harmonious Convention and Choice Candidates. DEMOCRATS NOT DISCOURAGED. SPIRITED SPEECHES GOOD RESOLUTIONS BPLKNDID CANDIDATES, AND EVEBTBODT PLEASED WITH THE RESULT. The Democratic County Convention as sembled at Washington Hall yesterday morning a. 10 o'clock, a full delegation of seven being present from each voting pre clnct Id the county. Promptly at tbe hour the assignment of sea; s was made, and tbe convention was called to order Dy v,a8 By field, Eq. The admirable arrangements in connection with tbe tickets precluded mil dlsordsr, and from tte moment of tb call to crJer to tbe boor ot adiourntneLi ever thing moved smoothly and harmoni ously, notwithstanding the greatest ec thusiasm. Judge Lewis J. Jordan wa4 made permanent chairman. When be wai escorted to tbe platform be was received with flittering applause. lie eaid: REMARKS OF JUDGE JO R DON. Your con vet tion has assembled to noxni uate a county ticket. I thank you for the honor of calling me to preside. We meet as Democrats who are willing to battle for principles, and oar object is not to secure an office tor some particular man. Let as prepare for a tall discussion of these principles and organise to secure their success. We believe we are right, then let us work to achieve the victory. The blessings that will now from our Bucces will be am Die reward for all the efforts we may make. For years we have battled in our county against overwhelmlng odds. but I address tbe representatives of men who have never been discouraged by defeat. Tbf y have stood steadfast and undismayed In the advocacy of the great principles of our party. Tbe same spirit animates you to day. In this city we bave recently mi t with defeat, bat we have tbe consolation of knowing that the Republican party has not triumphed. It is true that tbe laise and slanderous report has been sent all over the land that the Republican party carried our city election by over 4,tl0 majority. Tbe claim of tbe Republican leaders and pxess is Impudent and false, as I shall proceed to show. Tbe worfcicermen nominated candidates in tbe First. Fifth and Seventh Wards, aod tbe votes cast lor these men must not be counted lor the Republican party. The workingmen of those wards repeat tbe claim that tbey have been led into tbe Re publican fold through Ponder, Johnson and äieinbauer. All who voted for these men are not worklnemen, but as they ran as workingmen we ara as fully warranted in giving that party credit for these votes as the Journal is in claiming them for tbe RpubUcan party. Republican candidates could never have commanded hundreds of these votes, and as we can not determine how many Republicans voted in these three wards we take the vote for Pouder, Johnson and Steinhaaer and add it to the worklDgmen's vote. We then bave: Benubllcan ote...-... 8.?29 .Democratic vote 6,143 Werklogmen vote Totab Hl um..... ... . 1 169H Now.add the Democratic and workingmen vote together and we have 8,705, making a majority against tbe Republicans of 4,b If we Bilil lurtber reduce the Republican vote by subtracting the colored repeaters that were sameiully driven la wagon loads from Doll to poll, and add to tbe Democratic vote tbe number of voters that were deterred from voting by tbeee col ored repeaters In th9 Fourth and Ninth Wards, and we bave the Republican party overwhelmingly in tbe minority. Tbe workingmen did cot Intend by their votes to sustain a party which enacted tbe odl oa? resumption bill, and resists evtry effart made to repeal It. Tbey know fall well that tbe Republican party has steadily contracted tbe currency and added to the gold bearing Interest debt ot tbe government. They know that this policy has PROSTRATED THE M A.NCFACTTJMNQ ISTER BSTS OF THE COUNTRY and paralyzed trade. Thousands of will ing bands are ready for work In our city, bat tbe wheels of indastry will not move Inconsequence of the uncertainty caused by the resumption act. This bill was drafted by O P. Morton, and under tbe party lash he forced it through Congress. Did tbe workingmen . in tend by their votes to approve his course? I resent the charpe as an insult to their intelligence. The course of the Journal in claiming all their votes and thus swelling the Republican majority to 4,000 la an lLsult and has lastly created great Indignation on the part of the workingmen. Tbe continued legislation oi the Republican party in the Interest of stock Jobbers and large corporation?, its enor moui publie expenditures and the s'.eal legs of a large number of those who are Officers of the government, has aroused the labor elements or tbe land and led them to crea'e organizations for telle'. TLocsands of Republicans bave joined these organizations, and in tbe sreat state acd national contest or this lau taey win not act with the Radical parly. The Re

publicans of ibis coucty have made their ticket, and there is not at man on it representing the labor element. We claim as Demccrats to repreeerjt principles that must meet the approval ot tbe masses of the people. We seek to have the government administered for the benefit of tbe whole peopl, and cot in the interest ol the privileged few. Invite the hanest workmen to join with uj In ridding" .he country of those who bave been Buckine the life-blood of the nation. - Oar candidate for governor is the repre- , rtatlveof purify and economy. Let us rally around him. lie must command the votes of the laboring men as against Orth. Lst us nomlrja'.e a good ticket today, rer resenting tbe wants ot tbe people of Marion county, and In October your action will be approved by a rousing majority. OTHER OFFICERS. II. S.

A division of the question having been ordered, both divisions were carried, and Messrs. J. w: Nlcbol, John Sullivan ana Carl Fitch were appointed on the commit tee.

Dividson, Judge David B. Turpie were named for the nom ination for senator. On the first ballot, a majority of all votes belog required to nominate, Oscar B. Hord was unanimously nominated. A committee of three, consisting of Carl Habicb, General Love and Jackon Landers, was appointed to in form Mr. Hord of bis nomination, un the second ballet, the names of Judge Turpie and Mr. Davidson having been withdrawn, the vote stood: Whole number of votes cast...-.... 161 Necessary to a choice 81 1 1 o w La n a ...... ........ . .. . .. . ...... 3 Hopkins ....... .......... 1U8 and the nomination of Mr. Hopkins was made unanimous. He failed to respond to tbe call, and as "tbe best pair of legs tbe Niws ever bad" crossed tbe room at tbat moment, loud calls for "dnacks!" "Snacks!" were made, and the legs rapidly telescoped. At this point OSCAR B. HORD entered the room. He was received with three rousing cheers, and being formally introduced by the chairman, he said: Gentlemen and Friends This is a very unexpected thing for me, and to say that this manifestation of your kindness wai not grateful to me would be saying what is not true. I am gratified that you nominated me for tbe Senate as an evidence of your appreciation and regard, and I am sorry tbat I can not accept it. (Voice "No, no.") Now, genUemen, the reasons I bave tor not accepting it are of a personal and domestic character. Now, those of you who know me intimately will understand what I mean, that it is utterly impossible for me to accept any position in tbe world, or any nomina tion tbat will renaer it necessary ior me to be from home. Now, this is my reason. I want you to distinctly understand tbat it is my only reason. I want all of my friends here to understand that this announcement or determination tbat I make now has no connection, not the slightest, with the result of the election last Toesday. I was spoken to on this subject by several friends some time before that elec tion, and I gave them my reason why I ould not be a candidate. They were gentlemen who understood the sufficiency of my reasons, and appreciated them and agreed with me. If 1 were in a situation to be a candidate tbe result ol the election last Tuesday would be a reason why I should accept rather tbao wby I should decline. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, I want you to understand distinctly tbat as a Democrat tbe election of last Tuesday did not discourage me. It was mortifying. It was more than mor tifying. I wish you to appreciate just ex act ly why I decline, and to satisfy you tbat my declination has no connection 8t all with that. I want you to understand another thing, gectlemen, tbatl don't go back at all on the red'strlcticg of this city (Applause.) I bave not seen it announced in any paper, and I bave heard no intelli gent Republican claim tbat tbat redis ricting ordinance did not leave this city in a better situation tban it was before. have not heard any one say tbat it wa? not A FAIB AND HONEST DISTRICTING, and the only claim that has been made so far as I know as to the propriety of it was that it was made too late. Now, gentle men. I don't regard that at all as a suf ficient reason. It certainly is one tbat our Republican friends have no right to urge against ns. We made it just as soon as we could, and we would bave done it before it we had been able to do it. So far as the legality of it Is concerned, as a lawyer desire to say this about it. Of coarse, it Is simply my professional opinion, that there was not tbe slightest ground lor an objec tion made against Its legality, Now, I was at the Fourth Ward polls from morning until nigb from the time tbat tbe pobs opened until they closed, and it was charged upon us that we committed a serious wrong of some character in tbe passage of this redistricting ordinance. 1 insist, gentlemen, tbat we committed no wrong to anybody, and if we bad committed some wrong and had done something that our Repabiican friends had a right to object to, I submit tbat tbe conduct of tbe Republicans on tbat day in tbe Fourth Ward and other wards of tbe city rendered whatever small offence we committed a matter that ought not to be considered at all. ( a pplause.) The gentlemeu who Wäre tbcro uu iiiu oc casion will support me in saying tbat from the time the polls opened until the polls clo. 61 tbey were in possession of people who did not live in tbat ward. and that it was a mob the whole of that time. TADDlauss 1 There were hundreds and hubdreds ot people there armed with clubs in tbeir bands, determined tbat there should not be a fair election, and tbat those who bad the right to vote should not vote, and everything was done that they couid do to deter people Jrora voting and to prevent a fair election. It was a mob Id which the life of every Democrat upon hat ground was In danger from 7 o'clock: in tbe morning uctil 6 o'clock at night. I understand that the same manifestations were made in other war Je. It was a deliberate purpose by mob violence aFd force to stifle tbe honest voice ot ttat ward In the (lection of a councilman. I say this to you,

gentlemen, because I want you to thai understand tbat ' THIS RESULT OY THAT ELECTION la my Judgment is cot anything to deter Democrats from going lorward with their

purposes, but on the contrary it is the most conclusive reason in the world why they should go forward, if mobs and mob in fluence are to control the elections in this city, why, gentlemen. It is well that we should understand that just as soon we can. It is not for men that are In favor of fair elections, and who have suffered the consequence of this mob violence, to set down and submit to it. I believe there is enough honest and healthy sentiment in this city to prevent that fraud in the future. It is the duty of Democrats, by proper organization, legally and fairly to make efforts tor an honest election, and to at tempt to secure it at the next election. (Applause.) Now, I submit to you what is the duty of a Democrat at the present time, and it is a matter that comes home, not only to Democrats of this city, but it comes home to every intelligent man and every property holder in this city. That mob violence, gentlemen, was brought about by the stimulations and influences of the men in this city who claim to be the most intelligent part of the community and who claim to represent the property interests of this city. There would have been no trouble on last Tuesday if the men of this city who claim to be its wealthy men, who claim to bs it s Intelligent men, .who claim that they bave a greater stake in tbis city than any other persons, had not stimulated it and brought it about, i submit to those gentlemen to day, and to you, gentlemen, whether per sons of that character can afford in tbis city to recognize and adopt as a permanent part of our city institution?, or ratner, as a permanent part of our city election, the carrying of elections by force and fraud. rtiow, the rest or as, who have not so mach propartv, and who it Is assumed bave not the sam interests in tbis city although we deny it certainly have a right to insist that tbe men who have so much at staue, and wbo have so much interest in tbe peace and prosperity of this city, shall seriously consider tbe quest iou as to whether tbat 8T8TEM OF DOING BUSINESS will not in the end come home to them, affecting their mot vital interests and in a very serious way. I say, gentlemen, tbat to-day I believe tbat the large mass of hon est Republicans ot tbis city are as hostile to a system inaugurated on the last elec tion day as we are. 1! I could believe, gen tlemen, that the intelligent KepuDiicaDS oi this city believe tbat it was light to tike from the Third Ward ol this city, and from other wards of this city, a drunken mob of lour or five hundred negroes to crush us In tbe Fourth Ward and In other wards or tbis city, I would say, gentlemen, that they were striking directly at the nett interest ot this city, and tbat there w?s no hope lor either property or peace in this city. Now, these are matters, gentlemen, that we ought seriously consider, and that our Republican friends ought to consider. I dtm't believe, gentlemen, when they charge on us tbat we bave no interett in this city aod nothing at stake, and call ' uh hard names, I don't believe that they think anything of tbat kind. I telieve that those gentlemen are just as confident that we will do our best to maintala law and order iu tbis city aa any other class or any ether political organization in tbis city. But I say that since I bave teen in this city there have been no mobs tbat bave been generated by Democrats, ap plause. And tbat every mob we bave ever bad in this city was generated by Re publicans. I Applause I. Now, I submit to you all, and ask you to tell me ot a single instance in which there has been moo violence In the last sixteen years that was set on toot by Democrats? Now, I say.gentlemsn, that I don't believe tbat tbe sober, eerlou, thoughtful people ot Indianapolis will approve or will sustain such proceedings as we bad last Tuesday. They must know and feel teat it is D EfeTKDCT IV B OF TBI BEST INTERESTS of this city. And therefore I say, gentle men, that instead of the result of the elec tion on last Tuesday being a reason way we sncuia cease our enorts to carry me county at the fall election, tbat it furnishes the most stimulating reason In tü cwcild wby we should make a strong, earnest aid united effort to carry the county. I hare detained you longer than I should have. I have thought It due to you to give you hit reasons why I declined this nomloa tion. Whatever you do to-day, and I know you will not do anything but what is right, will receive my earnett aod ardent support. 'Applause To Mil the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Hord's declination, tbe names of Elisha D. Howlard, Judge David Turpie and Dr. Theophilus Paivin were presented. Tbe first ballot wss taken, and before the re sult was announced, MR. HOWLAND was nominated by acclamation. In re sponse to calls, be was introdued, re ceived with three rousing cheers, and said: I bava no remarks to make other ban to extend you my thanks for tbe hoior you have conferred on me. I will endeavor (provided you elect me) to discbarge tbe duties ot tbe omce faithfully, honesty and without any fraud. (Applause.) FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Joseph Marshall, Dr. O. H. P. Abbott, Dorman N. Davidson, R. C. J. Peidleton, J. G. S wails, Albert Q. Beck, W. P. Roy fee, Elmsly Wright, James Douilasand Lsvl Bolander were named, and be first ballot was taken and without annuncing the result tbe nomination of R. C. J. PENDLETON was made unanimous. Intsponee to the calls he said : Those of yu wbo remember the defeat of Malvern IUI aod Uhickabominy will bear in mlndtbat it was the medium to combine our sreogth to defeat tbe enemy. Our defeat lat Tuesday combines the elements by wiica we will roll up a majority next Octoif r and November that will place them la in tbe shade. I can see the evidence beretc-Jay. Never before in the history of Marion county were there so many pranlnent men of tbe Democratic party lere to transact tbe business at thl tlm. I recognize mj self tbat it is no tins now Jor speaking. Bat in whatever psitlon, and wherveryou find me, you wllldnd me a worker fcr those great princites that should be sacred to every cltizaiofour country. Applause. It is nece&ary, In order fcr me to place myself proprly belore you, to say to you to-dav bat it Is encumbered upon me for asborltimeto consider tbi3 nomination. It fa n-csesary for m9 to consult my business hterests, which I musi do befora I can, decide whether I can accer t li or not; but vnether I do or not this next cinvssi shall lave my hearty support. And with Uncle Jlnimv Williams aa the, corner ttane we wl)l lay the foundation upon which ve shall erect a superstructure which sbal tower into such magnific3nce and eubliuity that our adversary shall appear like a mere shadow.

The second ballot was taken, and with

out announcing tbe result, tbe nomination Of DCRJtAN 5. DAVIDSON was made unanimous. On coming forward be was received with three enthusi astic cheers. He said: Gentlemen of the Convention I desire to thank you for the nomination. I want to say that tbe result ot last Tuesday's election, instead of discouraging me, it has given me renewed strength for tbe conflict. When tbe days of October come, may it roll up a ma jority for tbe Democratic party. The third ballot was taken, and tbe nomination of - J. a. S WAILS was made unanimous. . He came to tbe platform and Bald: Gentlemen of teb Convention F. r the honor conferred upon me bv making me your choice to represent you in the General Aesambly of Indiana, I thank you. L.-t me assure you, gentlemen, that I shall buckle on my Democratic armor, and continue to labor faithfully in defense of that cause until victorv shall crown our efforts In October. Applause. It does me good to know that the principles of the Democratic party are right. Gentlemen, allow me again to thank you for tbis manifestation of your honor.

I- confess tbat I am very muca surprised that tbe nomlna'ion bas been given me to-day It ra been intirely unsolicited on my part, and tberefora your giving me tbe nomination is all the more heartily felt. I am not at all discouraged, although 1 did not desire tbe nomination; it was not because I did not feel tbat tbe Democracy ought not and would notsncceed in the coming campaign. Whatscever ability I have will certainly be exercised In the attempt to bring about an election ot the candidates nominated here to-day. I am mistaken In the temper of tbe people, decidedly mistaken, if the outrages that were perpetrated here last Tuesday be permitted again in this ciiy. I do not believe that honest men of any party will permit them. I thank you again for this honor, and certainly assure you that whatever can badone for the suc cess of this ticket shi.l be done.

I believe to-day, gentlemen, tbat there are no respectable Kepublicans in Indianapolis that do not feel es I do, that their succesc, as tbey call it, and gain on last Tuesday was net be tbe honest vote ot the Republican party, but by a mob that went irom one poll to the other voting. Men came rushing up to tbe Tenth Ward, where I was worcing ior my ticket, came rushing on horseback, rushing into the crowd frantically crying for men to go to wards for tbe purpose of INTIMIDATING DEMOCRATS. As many as three wagons at a time they drove frcm the Tenth to tbe Ninth, and from the Fourth to tbe Thirteenth. I sent men along with them, who saw themvete the second time, and challenged their votes and were driven out of the crowd. Tbat is the way they carried the election last Tuesday. It bas been said by other gentlemen before me, and I will also say that it only f makes me more earnest to work for the success of our ticket tbat you have put in nomination.

But, my friend", I have cast a good many votes, and Ism net tcday discouraged, but I saw last Tutsday what I have never witnessed before, and that I may never see again the white voters of this city driven before the colored population. That was instigated by some of the white voters of the city of Indiat apols. I said that tbe day would come when tte c;t!zsr s who owned large amounts of propeity in this city, that tbey would feel the burden of keeping people from the polls. I saw men running with the blood streaming from tbem. Gentlemen, such things can not be in tbis country and we bave peace. Such things can not be and we have prosperity.
