THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY. JULY 5. 1876

LOCAL SENTIMENT

Upon the St. Louis Candidates and Platform. SOBER SECOND THOUGHT."DISAPPOINTMENT CHASQINO TO BNTHUSI" ASM ISDIAWA WANTaD THB FIRST PLACE, BUT WILL UMTK THB PARTY BT TAKING THB SECOND GKNRRAL DESIRE THAT HENDRICKS SHOULD ACCEPT HIS SPEECH ON BEINQ SERENADED. Within the past twenty-four hours Indianapolis has undergone a revulsion of publio sentiment that is probably tbe reHex of that of tbe entire state, If not of a larger portion ot tbe West. The news of the nomination of Gov. Tilden at St. Louis lift night, though not altogether unexpected, eyen here where tbe current ot tue desire which so strongly influences opinion net in quite another direction, was a severe suook ti the friends who have so warmly and la thfully adhered to onr own candidal; but tbe ieellngs inspired by this shock are RA iI D LT SUBSIDING. One night's sleep d'd much to May tbe titter sense of disappointment caused by Haadrict' defeat. Men who Wednesday night, gave it&e expression to a natural chagrin, and la tbe beat of disappointment made rash assertions, were ready Thursday morning to admit that the interests of the pry were more than those of any individual, and to follow tbs xioble example of tbe person most nearly touched by tbe event which all regret, in giving their hearty adhesion and support to tbe convention's ticket. And tbo cbar g 'which was begun by calm rt fleet 1 n during tbe night was intensified and com pleted by free discussion and Interchange Of opinion during tee day. It is safe to aay that when evening arrived yesterday the number of Democrats in the city, who were unprepared to give COBDIAL SUPPORT TO THB TICKET, though not of their own choosing, was reduced to an insignificant squad, and tnat these were only waitirg for a satisfactory settlement ot the prevailing doubt surrounding tbe second p?ace to fall Into line also. From tbe time that Ibe unanimous nomination of Gov. Hendricks for vice president was announced here most ot tbe interest centered npon bis probable action upon it. Without a notable exception the opinion ot tbe cooler, steadier, more thoughtlul men ol tbe party wai in favor ot his acceptance, and it is doubtless the pressure tbus brought to boar that ban !- aced bim to modify bis first unqualified refusal. Dor'ng the parly part of the day conflicting rumors as to bis probable course were In circula'ion, which were not set at rest until about 4 o'clock. At this time a band of music, eo rted by a large c m pany of interested friends, visited tbe gov ernor's bouse on North Tennessee street lor a serenade. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS'S POSITION. After playing some time, Gov. IIendrick9 telng loudly called for appeared, and walking down to the gate addressed tbe assembled company as follows: My Fellow Citizens Tbe event at St. Loni vrl'hln tbe past twenty four hoars have plated me In an attitude not altogether expected. I presume it is to these event that i am Indebted for I hit cal . I th nk you for tbe all and f r the ho or It lrapli-H in the national convention at Ht. I a.n the Democracy Of Indiana taongbt fit to pre-e-1 m v name for tbe first piace on the ticket. The cou vent Ion baa selected a distluifuii-hfd citizen and governor of another stau lor that, pottl' ion, and, contrary to ail t xpec a'ion, has unanimously selected me for tbe second p'ac j. This waa not looked for by me, but la ref aided as an honor, coas-derlng ihe unanimty which attende-i it. The nomination of tne distinguished governor of ltw York tor the presidency of the Uulted S'ates has mach meaning. It m ans red reform In the ad ministration 01 the government. Cheers. Anai sentiment nas n. u no more DITINCT FXPRKSSION by any body ot men that ever met on ear! h. It promises a return to better and purer gov rnment, not for the benefit of c fflcehc4dert, but for that of the people. The action of the convention expresses this thought throughout in the name placed at the head ot tbe tl'kel and In every line of the Platform adopted and npon this istue its candidates will be elected In November. Some of you, my neikhbors snd 'eoowx'iilzens, may reel a disappointment that my name was not 8 If c ted for the first, plac: bat there Is no soon reeling n my own inlnu. My name was presented with tbe full knowledge tbat It in uNi eome iDio compeuii'u with those of tner aisuEguisnen cuiz -ns, and I am nan enough to ccepi the result. I hone -11 mv friends w' II accept it also, ndleld the am unwavering fonwr; o tne ticket that they would do hd J been HONORED WITH THB NOMINATION. Of my duty with rrgard to the nomination Which was offered me this morning, I am not at present prepared to speak. I shall await the return of the delegates from I .diana to the convention, and after consultation with them and other trends shall make m j h. clalon, being governed by my convictions of wnat duty to the party an i to tbe countrv demands. I Ui-ns you all. here at the door of my own hou, for the dUtlngut-hed h-nnr juu uave jun enuifrrwi npoa me, which Is but a continuation of similar honors lu the past. These frank declarations on the part of the governor some na-, ALL AT ED THB INTENSE INTERFST With which bis decision is awai el. I' may be said here that much ot tne dirp -tlcn to acsepn deiea' grace ully and urge the acceptance of tbe vic- presidency up n the governor arises from a better understanding of the attitude of tbe convention towards him, as developed from tbe repor s of tbe firs-, arrivals from 8 Louis. These most emphatically assert tbat tbe defeat In to be regarded as in no sense a rebuke to Governor Hendricks' aspirations tbat be ws the personal choice of most of those who voted for Tilden, especially in the Siutb, and that tbe latter was rhoen solely upon tbe issue ot availability He bad made it appear tbat be al tne et uld Insure the D -m-ocracy tbe electoral vote of certain etae, and upon this aaurnc"t warm friends ot Hendricks' voted lr blm, though wl:b pain and aimot under protest. It may be said, parodying tbe words of a delegate to tbe Cinciucati convention, tbat tbe CONVENTION WAS FOB HENDRICKS " with Its heart, but for Tilden with its head. This appars slso in tbe unanimity "with which the second p ace was forced upon blm. Tbe protests of bis friends were unheeded and do opportunity given blm to decline. One lüden mn said to the Indiana delegation: ''We understand your situation; we know you are not here to make bargains for your candidate, bat we mean to make him vice president in eplte of you.H bcores ot tele

grams breathing this spirit have reached Gov. Hendricks. Some come from delegations from Tennessee, Massachusetts and Martland and many more from individuals, all mof-t urgently calling upon blm to fotget his personal inclinations and accept tor the good of the party. All this bas worked a CHANGS IN THB GENERAL SENTIMENT here, and probably bas bad its weight with Governor Hendricks himself. His decision is still awaited with intense interest, but with a tolerably confident assurance that be will not disappoint the expect athe Convention. The dele-

ga Ion is expected to return from S Louis during tbe day, probaoiy with a strong toll wing of delegates from other states who will aod their persuasions to those already at work upon his mind. The Sentinel ot tr-morrow will doubtlass be able to announce the governor's declsioD. N. W. O. TJ. MEETINO OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS YESiERDAY.

Running the Reapers and Other Labor-Savers. THIRD DAY OF THE GRAND TRIAL. A GREAT JOURNAL SPEEDING THB PLOWS WORK OF A MISCREANT THB EUREKA MOWER fiULKT PLOW HARVEST MACHINES. (.Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Perdue University, Lafayette, June 29, 1876. Tbe few readers of tbe local papers here should be advised not to gauge tbeir estimate of the grand Implement trial this week by tbe meager and Inadequate notices ot the Lafayette press. Tbe talent of some oi these journals is unquestionable. In tbe line ct evading duty in tbelr own field and belittling what is of meat value to their home aflUirs, they manifest a mtrked ab lity at all t m e. The pr sent oc asloo 1 no excepuoa to the rule. Twenty six lines measures tbe value which this morning's Journal puts npon tbe grand afternoon's work of yesterday, which, in b th tbe plow field and bay field, showed some of tbe best work ever done, and gave instruction ot untold value to tbe numbers of Intelligent spectators on tee ground. Tbe fact is, tbe trial yesterday was a Krand success both in the character ot the wotk and tbe progress made. Tbe rain bavlog concluded to snp9nd, tbe water dried up rapidly s? tbat operations were not seriously Interfered with by tbe condition ottbe ground. Tbe plowlngte6ts were continued with some of toe best results tbat it is possible to attain, at least it St) appeared to men who are the bts. Judges of such matter?. No more valuable service can possibly be done to tbe farmers of tbe state tban to Inform tbem fully ot improvements which save labor and money. Hundreds and thousands have no idea ot tbe real advantages to be gained by tbe use ot superior implements and machinery. Nor does it follow tbat tbe best are always tbe costliest. Tbere are plows made in this state and sold at $14 which are so much better tban others brought from distant states et double tbe cost tbat It would be good economy for tbe owner oi the latter to throw it into a fence comer and buv tbe former. In practice there is no comparison between tbem. So also of mo wets, reapers, ana other classes or ma cblnery. A LITTLE INCIDENT happened last night which has excited considerable remark. Tbe South Bend chilled plow was one ot the Instruments whose work was above all criticism yesterday. It Is without question a wonderful implement. After tbe work yesterday tbe plow was left with numerous other machines by the roadside in tront of tbe uulveraity. This morning its polished mould-board was found broken in two through tbe middle. Tbe grief and vexation of tbe agent when he touhd it thi morning were so great tbat he could not refrain from shedding tears like a child. Various surmises and theories were offered as to tbe cause ot the accident, but the whole matter miut be left to conjecture, as tbe truth can not b9 known. Tbere is a lively contest about tbe respactlve merits ct the walking and riding plowr, tbe main distinction of merit pertaining to tbe com para ive llgbtuess ot dratt. Some expariments on tbat point will be made 'to-day with tbe dynamometer. There were tes'ed testerday toe following mow er: Tbe Eureka, a center draft, wide-cutting macbloe, manu actured by tbe Patrons' Association at Indianapolis; tbe Johrston, from Brockport, N. Y.s tbo Planet, Richmond, Ind.; tbe Champion, Spnnifie'd, O.; the Buckeje ol Ohio; the Wood, Uoosac Falls, N. Y., and the Climax, from Corry, Pa. As stated yesterday, ibe grass used for tbe test was the wor-tt that a mowr could be put into clovtr and timotby badly lodged and ta gled on a sott grourjd, with a thick undergrowth of fine blue ara&p, which would stop any machine that could be choked down. All tbe machines did marvellously Kood work, atd some stood tbe t?st wi bout a failure. Bit, it the truth be told, and for tbe interest of tbe farmers It ought to ce told, tbe EUREKA OF INDIANAPOLIS, with its novel simplicity, swept tbe field by a long way. Tbe committee, of course, did cot ssy so; tbeir verdict will remain sealed till tbe end of the state fair. But, ao far as I can loam, tbe voices of all the spectators are unanimous that "tbe E art k a beats ever) thing." It does more work, better work, and takea less power than any other machine t hat ba ever been invented and used. Until something Dew is devised, this mnst lead tbe crowd and command tbe ra rooage of the c Urtry. F ir iostance, take only one point. It cuts six feet wld, or mows fifty per cent, more gras with eq lal time and Us power tban an? Md--drit macbloe. Tbat tact alone settles i be question of its merits. But add to tbia its perfect operation In all sorts ot Kragand grenni: tbat it runs back and fr rtb on thehMine vide of tbe field, obviating tbe inconvenience of surrounding a pticu so tta a field can be mown to tbe bot advantage; tbst it leaves toe gras Just wtere it stood In tbe tx-st sbap to dry and to be takea up; that It turns sqt er, r.ever chokes aud is mrre easily managed than the i-lip-draft mcwers, aod that it t-iiln at no point. Wbat more can be sain? Yet my ectoosiasm is coolness compared with th t ot farmers who know most about machines ot this class. Wn'le tne reapers wrre getting ready for tbelr tussle during tbe forenoon there was a livelv contest among tbe sulky plows. P.owa were enter ho by tbe following five companies: Toe Molioe, Illinois; DavenP rr, Iowa; D-ere A Co., Illinois; B D. But -rd. Rock Island, Illinois, and tbe "Cohr" by J.P.E -st A Co , Free port, Illinois. Tne last named was said by some to have done the best work. Meantime, some ottbe fifteen or twenty cultivators were displaying their comparative merits loan adj libiog cornfield. It is not possible to no e all tbe implements tor cultivation corn. But one i ew feature shon here tbat is well worthy of attention is the "Tongneless" cultivator which it said to eff-r pronouco d advantages over those wl'B a tongne, wbicb those will appreciate who have tried t work the "last row" by tbe aide ot a fence. Without tbe-tongne a m rt iurt can be a ai and no enn broken d iwn. Mao does a e still coming Id. Cu rious and Indescribable barrow?, grain binders, loaders, stackers and various im provements are still altlngiora cnance to show wbat wonders they can do. AFTERNOON EXHIBITION. The carnival of reapers in the wheat field engaged tbe attention of the company this afternoon. A fine stand of wheat was laid off in half-aore lots, the grout d was In tbe best poealb e order and tbe exhibi tion was tbe moat spirited, so far, of this

interesting occasion. Tbe contest is not sufficiently advanced to be described in this letter, but proper attention will be given to tals Important feature to-morrow. All present are greatly interested to witness the operation of the gralr -binder attached to Wood's reaper, from Hoosac Falls, N. Y. It will be put into tbe field late this evening and reported in my next. The Prairie Farmer, Ohio Farmer and Indiana Farmer re all properly represented on tbe grouji. The news of the nomination of Mr. Tilden created some excitement among tbe agricultural gentlemen, but not ot Jablla'ion. Hard money candidates, it must be confessed, will get very cold shoulder from tbe people of Indiana this fall. I state this merely as a matter of fsct, which is a tact, as will surely appear in due time. H.

THE GRAND TRIAL. MODERN FARM MACHINERY. FIRST FRUITS OF THB STATE FAIR POLICY OF THB BOARD A WORD ABOUT THB UNIVERSITY A WET BLANKET PLOWS AND PLCIOUS DULL BEGINNING BETTER OUTLOOK HAYING BEGUN. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. J Purdue University, Lafayette, June 28, 1876. By a Judicious policy of tbe State Board of Agriculture, tbe trial of farm implements and machinery lirthis year was removed from tbe time and excitements of tbe state fair and assigned to a season when, under ordinary circumEtaocee, all kinds of field implements could be tested-in a practical way. At this time there is work for reapers, mowers, and tbelr accompanying apparatuses; for plows, cultivators, barrows, etc. It is well known by long past experience that amid the soenes and attractions of a lair but little attention can be secured to a careful and accurate trial of agricultural im plements and machines. Yet these constitute od of the most important features of modern agriculture and are exerting an lnfloence on tbe wealth aud welfare ot the world not second t any material agency. They have revolutionized farmlrjg, changed the conditions of labor, emancipated production from slavish drudgery and UTILIZED THE VAST BES0URCE3 of this rieb continent in a degree tbat seems miraculous. Tbe s ate, board have therefore vindicated tbelr character as valuable servants to the state in givlrjg such prominence and encouragement to machine farming. Tbe arrargemects for this "Grand Trial" have been made witb the greatest care to secure a fair and intelligent test of tbe machines both comparative and absolute, and to dlscics whatever defects may yet require tobe overcome in machines wbicb amm already to have closely approximated to perfection. Tbe committees have been chosen with great care for tbeir intelligence and integrity, and are composed cf six men, as follows: Tbe committee on plows, cultivators and tbat el ass of implements, consists ot J. Kelly O'Neal ot Tippecanoe county; Seneca Armstrong, Rush county; aua George S. Durham, Park county. Tbe committee on mowers and harvesting machines is composed of John M. Seward ot Monroe county; Llitville Ferguson, Rush county; and Isom Wray, Shelbj county. Tbe premiums offarsd are gold atd silver medals and diploma, and tbe awards will not be made known until the cl sa of tne stats fair October 18. Tbe board are to be further commended for a good stroke ot policy in tbe selection of the place lor holding this trial. It was eminently proper in several respects to bring this intelligent body oi farmers aod manufacturers to the PURDUE UNIVERSITY, whore tbe best possible facilities are offered for the work ol the machines and thereby to extend an acquaintance witb this new institution of the s a'.e np m wbicb tbe sun of prosperity is now or questionably about to rise. As tbe unfavorable weather bas retarded operations considerably up to this writing, it may be admissible to devote a few words to the present aspects and prosp cts ot tbe school. Ii is now clear enough that a good start bas been accomplished to build an institution ot learning which will speedily become an houor to tbe state ot Indiana. Tne prospects tave never before been so h paful. Tbe trustees, patron and the public ft el the utmost conti .'er.es tbat, Jn the election of ut. wniie to tne presidency, a man as been secured who will lead tne instltu tion to certain and brilliant success. Tberis no doubt tbat President White is tbe peer of any educational leader of tbe timrs. His aims are intelligent, well defined, and adep ed t the situation, while ris executive ability bas been amply demonstrated in bis - PAST HISTORY ELSEWHERE The corps of professors also Includes eome of tbe most scholarly and efficient educators to be found anywhere. New departments have been dev ssd to meet tbe requirements of ti e public inthls particu.ar finld, and the coming ytar will undoubtedly sea more tbaa one hurdrta s uden's in attendance at its opening. Young men can come b' r, and, it so ditpoaed, cao, by tbeir own labor on the :arrr, sustain themselves aud obtain a good educitiou ta prepare tbem for succt&srul careers in li'e. Things begin to look belter on the farm aud in tbe surrouudlrgs of the institution. Cap aln Burke, tue farm tnperin tendent, is certainly making the mots: ttret uous exertions and with jcood succr s to manage the estate in a profitable and economical manner. A good start ba been made in blooded stock. Some Joketbave been perpe'rated about sending a committee to Kentucky w th fi.000 to buy fiae stock at sales where a single calf sdd at more tban tour times the amount. But as a matter of fao , by tbe discretion and industry of Mr. John Sutherland and Captain Burke, a remarkably floe herd of short horns and Jers-ys has been secured at a very small expense. Hereafter, under tbe ame Judicious management, tbe stock business of tbe concern will pay a bandsome profit. But to return to tbe BUSINESS OF THB OCCASION. A "wet blanket" bas been literally cast upon the affair, which neither tbe board or anybody else could have foreseen. Yesterday between showers sciuething was done in tbe 'rial of plows, lave In tbe after noon, but to-day tbe rain baa been so fctnadyand xtperatlng that the plan oi operations bad to be abandoned entirely. coining at an nas Deen done up to tbe hour of noon, and tbe heavens are still irowntnp; but all are waiting patiently, filling: up tbe time witb dUcuaslans of itreenb ekcon tract ion, ic nation and cand Idatep. The show ot machinery on the tr round is more than respectable and com a from all parts of tbe country. Had tbe wtatber been the test It is bard to see bow all tbe trials could bave been carried through during tbe week. Tbe entries of plows ot all descriptions are not much short ol nay. the cultivators amount to more tban baft that number, wbtl tbe re pears and mower" single and combined, binders and bar vc jra number over twenty. Wbat tbe re sult will be in view oi tbe dtlay by rain it

is not pcsilble to say. Should tbe rains continue tbe disappointment will be very serious, for tbere Is a large crowd of visitors aod machine men - from abroad, many ot whom bave come from distant states. Tbe "Star City" is made lively, and tbe hotels ar happy and lull for tbe week. .A larze

number ot the state board are on the I ground to conduct tbe trial, aod tbe trus tees ot Purdue are also here to attend to some business tor the institution. IN THB FIELD. Two o'clock p. m. The clouds are off, the sun shines and it is hay (not Hayee) weatber. All is excitement now and tbe mowers are in the field. A string oi carriages from town fills tbe way ta the university, and fverythlD Jooks lair tar business. Tbe place ot trial is a field of flat and tangled clover and timothy, well calculktfd to test tbe qualities of ttie cutters. Tbe eight foot cutter 'Eurek," from Iodl anapolt, callad by all toe granger machine, is the center ot attention and jut t now wins the compliments of tbe crowd. But the contest is not begun. Tbe preliminaries it laying off and stakine tbe grounds will hold tbem back tor some time. I will coctlnue the report to-morrow. H. SCALPERS." THB SUGGESTIVK NAMB ADOPTED BY THE RADICAL REFORM CLUBS. To tbe Editor of tbe Berit Id el: Sir Was ever a more appropriate name adopted by any party or body of men tban that which tbe Republican party bave taken to designate their political clubs in this presidential campaign? The name, if not tbe party acts and leaders, should condemn them in tbe eyea of a tree and lawabiding class of people. "Scalpars!" Truly tbey are a set oi scalpers, and their tili -lal records in tbe past 12 years bave proven them to be well and truly named. And they, acknowledging tbe proof so plain against tbern.bav tbe face to come out boldly and eail under tbeir true colors, and ask the American people to give them further lease ot power, and permit them to continue their scalping business. Tbey bave scalped everybody and everything tbey bave layed tbeir band on. They bave scalped tbe people by tbeir railroads and bond swindles, by their Credit Mobiller, by their whisky rings. Tbe soldiers by tbeir p .s'-trader-ahipi. Tbeir own appointed officeholders by their "per cent." scalp. Through tbeir president nave tbey scalped tbe people with their "Black Friday" and their "Seneca Sandstone" project. Through their ministers in tbeir ''Emma Mines" nd in every department in Washington have they sc&lprd tbe people by tbeir swindling contract?, and in our own beloved Indiana bave we been scalped by their "Cow Feed Bills." And now tbey come out boldly and defiantly and saj '-we are a club ot scalpers." We bave scalped you on every band. We bave robbed and plundered jou, but you mast reelect us to office. Will tbe American people doit? Will we continue in power, knowing tbem ta be as corrupt, ts dear experience bas shown them to be, a party with such a record? "YOU CANT TEACH AN OLD DOG I.EW TRICKS," na more can you teach a Republican Officeholders to be honest. It bas become a second nature t tbem to engage in eome swindling gams tbe minute they once get n office. From te highest to the lowest have tbey been snewn up and exposed and a fewot tbe many are now paying the penalty behind tbe bare. It will speak better for tbe country when mere o' the gang are witb tüeir brothers in crime, and are made to luliy realize the fact that "honesty is the best policy." This cal plug business bas gone on long enough, tbe people cry out against it and look to tbat old p rty who so ucctrsstully, faithfully and bout&tly managed tbe government for years, for relief and rescue from this set ot "scalpers." let the St. Louis Convention act in harmony and give us as our standard-bearers, men, not nly Innocent ot crime or trickery, but ibove suspicion, on a platform of sound principles, and we will close our Centennial celebration in a victory of right over might, ot honesty over corruption, ot free government over nepotism, and a grand 3 -lebration over the rescue ot the "Rinche" from fnia set ot "red-handed Bvalrtms."
