On 4 rtlar and tblrty cents- will Mcnn the Indiana Ktnve Keattnel from nw until Ma-rcn 1 t?9, and alaothe Seutlnel xuap r Indiana, ta latent anil raot complete mp of th state yet twaed, grt;e pattl oo both. Kerwl yor aubacrf ptiaa at and vare the "WeeUly feienttnel mk! map of Ir4Ihu(u AdOrcw SEXTIN'EL, COMPANY, , Indianapolis, Ind. AXDEttSOX AND HATF-S. Anderson, the Louisiana returning board forger and perjurer, has at last bn sentenced to the penitentiary. It is well. The principles of truth and justice can not be forever successfully antagonized. With the "rerdict, "ticitTY", justice was re-enthroned in Louisiana, and truth, though crushed to earth, rose again, and millions of votaries made the land vocal with their rejoicings. The dark and damning deedsof the conspirators are uncovered. Subjected to legal testa they were stripped of the drapery of lies, and in all their hideousness and repulseivenes3 subjected to the gaze of the American peo pie and the people of all lands under heaven. Anderson is the first one of the infamous gang to meet his deserved fate, atd now while tie razor is being strapped to shave his head, and while some convicted felon- is making his striped clothes, and his cell is being prepared for his reception, Hayes, who mounted intooftioe by the lifting power of the iorgeriea and perjuries Anderson committed, Is preparing a veto in direct conflict with the will of a vast majority of the American people. We submit that nothing in government so entirely unique can be found in history, sacred or profane. The student will doubtless at this juncture review his readings for some recorded fact that will seem in some measure to znodity the people's scorn for Hayes by finding some transaction that has served to help a man into poweras essentially vik1 as' that committed by Anderson, but their search will be in vain. It was reserved for America, the "land of the free and the home of tie 'brave," during the grand celebrations of its centennial anniversary, when the people were contemplating the development! of the wealth and-the progress of the country, to submit to the dictation of conspirators wbo?? crimes defy description, and see a man seated in the presidential chair in defiance of their will. Anderson in prison; Hayes in tbe white house. Companion pictures. Anderson at hard labor, in striped clothes; Hayes in the white bouse, forcing vetoes designed to postpone an era of prosperity and to perpetuate business gloom. As to results, the world has never seen crime work out such opposite results. Anderson's crime placed Hayes ,in office . and himself in prison. A convicted felon in the one case, an outcast from society; at the other end of the slimy track, a chief magistrate clothed with rower and daricg to antagonize the will of a peo. pie. The Anderson trial in its lessons "w ill be likely to have a good effect, and to make the commission of returning board crimes an impossibility in future, but it is unfortunate that a free people should be subjected to euc'i ordeals to reach results in consonance with justice. WHAT TIIKX? Wells, Anderson, Cassanave and Kenner, the returning board forgers and perjurers, re certain of conviction. They will be sent to the penitentiary; they will be decorated with striped dry gxtds, be confined in cells and whipped like dogs if they do not obey orders. What then? "Next Ilcyes. Hayes rosy continue to hold office, act president of the United States have a cabinet and write vetoes to embarrass business and help Shy locks, but tbe couviction of the Louisiana returning board villains is the conviction of Hayes and the radical party. There is no power under heaven that can by any possibility -shield tham from the odium. Just then and here the people will ask, 'What becomes of Hayes' title?" It will not be a partisan question. Honest republicans, whodcmind justice, will be a? emphatic in their inquiries as democrats. The answer is inevitable. - It will be that Hayes his no valid title to the ofiico of president. It would be as sensible to attempt to bail out the ocean with a thimble as to stay, the indignation of the people. The conviction of the returning board rarcala is the convicti6n of Hayes, and every act he performs bears the stamp of fraud. Does he write a veto, every word is an imposition; docs ho nominate a man to office, returning board perjury is written all over it. No leper wa ever so foal. If the Mississippi ran bank full of soap suds it could not wash him clean in a thousand centuries. What then? Hayes must stand it. The radical party mu3t stand it. They can not escape the verdict. A lie sitj in the ofilce of president, and a lie antagonists the will of the American people. What then? It is reserved for the democratic party to wipe out the stigma. iim mrrizKENcr.. The people of the United Stitas for the past few years have been studying the antii'olal character of democracy and radicalism, and they are beginning to understand thoroughly the difference. Democracy is truth, radicalism isalie: democracy is holier, ratlicalif ui is treacherous. The people love train and honesty, hence they are abandoning the radictl party and arc falling Info line with the democratic ranks. Democracy rises like a mountain, lifts its head to the ekies, defies tho hurricanes of in V. ice, the lightnings of hate and the thunderbolt of detraction. It rUe and it lifts. IUdicilisiu burrows, cultivates depravities, crawli like a snake, steals like a pirate and barks like a dog. Tne people have analji'd it, have resolved it Into its original elements and have found itcom owed of 73 parti fraud an J 25 parts lie. Tbe bed rack of ddiuocracy is tha constitution and the e tern 4! principles of justice. Rudical!sru nusved iti forces upon a platform of hate, jfaUnuy and venality. The people fee the differ jnce and are coming to the democratic prty. The democratic party bolievfS

in the ballot box and the will of the people. Radicalism, under the leadership of Hayes, Garfield, Sherman & Co., ransacks the dens of infamy, utilize perjury and retains power by blasphemous defiance of Jehovah. Tbe democratic party would inaugurate measures of relief and resurrect business corpses. Radicalism stands by with its Shylock slungshotvand while professing sympathy, knocks business in the head like a footpad. Democracy is broad as humanity.

It grasps great questions, it creates events and gives them an upward direction. Radicalism also creates circumstances, but, like the prairie dog, it has a hole where it hides from the light when its deeds are to be investigated. You hear its bark, followed by the quick wag of its tail, and then if you find it you must dig for it. Democracy is advocated by the Sentinel, radicalism by the Shylock Journal. We have pointed out the difference. TELEGRAPHIC NUMMARY. Fridat, Feb. 22. MIsriCLLAKEOUM. Washington's birthday was observed at New York to-day with large celebrations. J. Fred.

Manson, Fleming, Woollen Smart the Nominees Tne Details of the Proceedings. and The scene presented in the 'city yesterday morning was one of unusal animation, and the hotel corridors were crowded with anxioas politicians and their equally as anxious friends. As the hourof 10 o'clock approached tbe crowd which assembled at the Metropolitan theater was numbered by the thousand, and as soon as the 1oor wai thrown open tbe auditorium was filled with the delegates, who were crowding each other for space. All available room on the stage was taken by representatives of the press and numbers of the central committee. Among tho-e seated on the etige Governor James D. Williams was perhaps the most conspicuous. The Third, Fourth and Twelfth districts were given positions in the gallery, while the other delegates were located in the parquette and dress circle. The convention was ca'led to order at 10:30 by General Manson, who reqnejted all to find seats. He then announced that the first business before the onvention would be a call of the counties by the secretary of the state committee, and tbe call was made by Uufus Magee, and it was found that the delegates were present from all tbe counties, and it was so announced bv General Manson. Colonel A. T. Whittlesey, chairman of the committee on permanent organization, reported that the committee had decided upon calling upon the vice president of the United States, Thomas A. Hendricks, to accept the position of president of the convention. This announcement was received with applause. A correction was made by the appointment of Isaac II. Pheres, of Benton rounty, as assistint secretary from the Ninth congressional district . COVKRSOR IIEXnm.-KS. Governor Hendricks was then introduced by General Manson amidst tremendous applause. He said: I am (rreatly honored In being called to proside over yourdelib.irttionH. 1 will dlKchure Hi-duties imposed upon mo linpartUliv. and I call upou you, by the g 'ave rep-nsi'biliiies that rest npou you, to aid ioi In preserving order and uecm 11 in Mtid the right conduct ot the business of the convention.

K is an agreeable and encuiraslng fact that w cuter tho contest this y-ar with no ajoloKies or explanations to nialio for the present or late state n luiini'tmtlon.

In ids care for the public welfare he. receives the efficient support of the several Plato otlicrrs. Oue of the Louisiana criminals has been tried and convicted. The president and John hhcrman say he should not have been tried. Why not? Ills Kollt and that of others Is shown hy the verdict. It Is a hi!;h crime ealm-i th? uatlou, and threatening the stability of free Institution.'. What are the relations between the president and Mr. Sherman and the accusad thut nuthoilze or permit nu ellort on their part to influence Jud clbl proceedings lu a state court? After n l.)ii,i and terrible contest It Is settled thut stats flections aftd Mute legislatures must be free from military intluenceand control.

It is to be regretted that the factsdeveloped upon t'-e trial are of such a character as to create anxiery on the part of the president and 8iiy of hi cabinet: hut they cm not avoid ihe eri'ect upon the public mludofsn exhibition of mat anxiety, and of unseemly denunciations of the state authorities. While it is true that tho itle of M r. iiaye to the oilice of president, and of Mr. WhcHer lo the ofilce of vice president, has been settled under the tojemn forms of law; and while it Is our duty, la my Jndgment.to recognize tbe title, bi-eauoe it is in the Interest of the public stability and tranquility 10 do so; It i tdill noiitt the less truo Mint an imperative diry deumndH that flttlng puhl-ihment should he visited upon the public criminals ihrouirli who Haitlous crime that judgment wasobinined. llcausoa judgment in final and couirlu iv. forms no reasi-n why Immunity should secured to the criminal through whose pi Jury it was obtained.

Capi'al aud labor fcr unemployed. Kindness 1 nantand entoiprhsj parnijxd. Alarm had

seized the people. They are threatened, not only with poverty, but with destitution and want. .When an industrious and Intelligent

people are found in such a slate ana condition, It la the dictate of wisdom to seek and remove the eaue. Oi r country posiessea wonderful advantages of soil and climate lu nroductii include man v of the treat and valu able staples which command the markets r'fJ the world. Ita mine have been proouci'.ve. In each a country why is it that the 'people tremole with alarm as they con tern p'.ate the present and look towards trre iuirjre? The party that seeks to continue in power should answer that ques Ion. What answer can be nade? Have not the special enactment and the general policy been for the JewandRKOnst tne many? The contract between the United Htates and toe public creditors has been Changed, and the change has been against the people. Tbe currency has been changed, out it has been by contraction, to the hurt of tbe debtor classes. The resumption act waa adopted by a party vo;e lu congress and to nerve party purposes. The great sontest for its repeat was In hlo in the tall of 18 5. Governor Alien led tbe movement. Ills defeat of trovernnr Hayes waa the defeat of tepeal. The bt. Louis convention declared In favor ot the repeal of tho resumption claue ; and the democratic house then in session made the pledge of our party good and true by passing a bill for such repeal. The senate waa republican and refused to concur. That body accepted Governor Allen's defeat as a popular Indorsement of resumption. Since the Inauguration of President Hayes I have revarded repeal as bopeltm. He was pledged to resimpilon. Every vote for him was for resumption, if John Sherman, at the head of the tieasury, holds the posit to 1 he will enforce the sti iciest nd hadrtst execution of the taw: and it Is undertood 1 hat any bill to repeal I tie clause will now b-j ve od. I have heretofore aald lhat "lo my belief the resumption law has been the source of the grea.est calamity to the business interests and prosperity of the country. It ha had the ehct of causing men to hoard greenbacks, and tne banks to wlthold and wlthd aw circulation, lu the fear of being c.ushed by forced redemption iu gold." A favorable foreign trade has promoted a return to rpecte payment, and If the balances shall continuo In our tavur I expect toee our paper m ney at pw with Kold at an early day. Will the restoration of tdlverinoney mitigate the evils of contraction caused by the resumption law? That is now the hope of the business men of Indian. It Is not as cheap money that the people demand Its restoration, but as a h'g'd tender r.nd coin contemplated by the cuiistitutio-i. When re-tored It will become ugain a standard and measure of value. Ilerore Us demoi ctizatlon silver was at par with gold, and when restored I think it will ile auain to the same level. I need hardly say to you that the value of any class or description of property ureatly depends upon the important uses to wli tch U may be applied. Silver was money. They a ripped it of lb t. Its m st Important use, and ..ow say it Is worth eljxht percent, less than before, and therefore . it cau not be good mo'iey. Is that fa r aigument? As a m iterlal for the manufacture o. ware, silver will have only the vainn which that ue can give It. But when stampe t with the quality of money, and made a letral tender for the payment of all classes or indebtedness it becomes the active agent of trade and commerce; measures values and dlschanres d-bts; ami in such use becomes correspondingly more iinjoi tunt to society, and more vuluable. Were gold stripped .f the quality ot money, what would be the effect upon its value? I do not believo the pennyweight of gold In the beautiful wine cup is as useful to society nor as valuable as the same weight of gold in the stamped coin, which does its busy work in the channels of trade, ani the demonetization of gold would demonstrate that fact. 1 have heretofore Mud that "silver his become an Important pr nctof this country, and Inasmucn as the world iecognize it as a money medium of xchango I can not seewhv we should not U'ili.e oar large pnxluct of that me.al to the greatest extent that may be found practicable. Its value ns money to this country Is too great to be thrown away." Hioula experience prove that, because of the increased production of sliver, there will be a permanent and imp .rtant dlllorcnce between silver aud cold, congress Is clothed with am pie power to prov.de the proper and adequate remedy. It 1-objected to the restoration of silver money that It will bu In bad faitn towards the public creditors. If I thought that possible 1 w uld n t tvor restoration, however Important to our Interests I might esteem It. My Judgment Is so entirely satisfied that 1 have no anxbty npou that question. The question is settled by the fair trading of the ubllc credit act of IS-jV, and the tund.nsr act of J;o. At the date o the lormtv act It was law ul to pay the f.-'JO bonds in tr asury notes. But it was contended that because of thecircum stances attending the creation of tbeaebtit wou d not be proper to to ctmstru- the laws, ana that payment nugtit not to be made in pajier. To remove douot and settle all controversj the set was passed. It pledei the faith of the 1,'nlted Stales to payment In coin. I opposed the measure In the enate, fcnd said tliat Its effi-ct would be to mat- thelarto read that "the debt shall be paid in coin." The Mil passed aud became a law. Thereupon tne debt. Ia?caiue payab.e only in coin, not lu gold olu aioue, but in silver coin as w 11, lor the silver doLar was t lien a part of the coin otthe country, as honored in law and com morc as irold." Next came the law r.f July 1 1, 1ST0, to re fun theuatiounl debt. That act provided lor Hie ls:iie of now bonds to the amount of iiitteu hundred dollars, liearing t, 4,' J ana per cent Interest, ihe Ikiii'Is so to Im' issued weie to bo exchanged lor the outstan Jing n-2) bonds "par for par," or sold for coin, and the proceeds were to bn used in ledeenlng the 6--U bonds. In the first section of the law It was provided that toe new bonds should ba made "redeemable iu coin at the present standard value." Tluit law, gentlemen, had no uncertain meaning. The new bonds were, to be substituted for all th outstanding 6-20 bonds; theywere to he i-old for coin, an 1 It was to be made a part of their language that they shall be "retivemabi? iu coin of the present standard value." My views on this subject were recently considered of sutllclent linjiortance by a distinguished cklzen of New York to call lor 11 relew aud answer by himself. He bad unqoestlonab y given the phras ology of the laws relating to the bonds a clost r study than I liml, for It was lu t!te line of his business and of hit profits. I had examined these lawa with no proles donal or business purpose, bat only as a citizen Interested in the Uiiaiicial policy of the countr. . He found It useful 10 hit. uruumeut to show, It possible, that the law under which the public debt wan being refunded required the boms to be paid In gold. He used this language: "Vet I am supported by the opinion bt illustrious lawyers lu the land that gold payments of the debt ars required and assured" by the refunding net of 1S70 Itsvlf, which Indeed mention generally "c ln"'ia its first section; but then In lis fifth wctiou, 10 carry out the net, excludes silver aud speciticaUy commands the secretary of the treasury to receive only 'gold crJn' us tho coin (t d ioslt aud payment." I am sure it Will astonish you after hearing this passage read, to learn that thn fifth seeiiou has nothing whatever to do witli the provisions and sales of the new bonis. It provides for thlsandno more: that the secretaiyof the treasury might, for two years, receive old on deposit and l.-sne po.'d cert locates bearing a low rate of interest and I hat lli deposit iniplit be withtrawn any time after CI days upon ten days' notice, and that ii jht cent i-h 011 Id b retained in the treasury to iy the ce . titled' cs hmu thi residue used to redeem 5-a bonds. I was crltilsei by this gi-ntlnn in for using the wo ds gold and coin ns synonymous In a public speech ; yet to maiintain his luer.iiH nt he asks that it believe that coin and gold coin an looely used in the same fcetise in diUorent tJectio:is of one of the most linKrt:int laws of the United ritatt s. Gold certificates were to ! i-sikyI 01 ly upoogold dep-i 8 Imr In tlm urniiil teelio't the Itoiwla wen t sell for coin, and In tho Hist wctioir thev went to le redeemable in "coin ot the present standard value." The solemn asxuT-aiioo given by that law to the public cr dtlor was that the bonds lsued undrr it should be redeemable iu gold aud silver ol" the weight and fineness then fixed by law. Upou this subject I have tio -lewcpinionstoext. res. In my letter accepting the Kt. Iionis nomination for vice president I said "tJold and t-ilver ere the rel standard of value." indivsl I would rclolce if our supply of tho precious metal wete sulHcient lor the wants of our IraiJe ami oommt rce. But we all know that It Is Insufii lent, and that we must also have a palter currency, and therefore I have opposed ihe p licyof a forced resumption ot specie payments fo'ised ujton cont ruction bywllhniavt lug the treasury "notes from circulation. Tim treasury note has been a safa enrn ucy. aud the peop e have had confl tence in ltund have not asked for its mlempiion. Whilst It Is a safe currency ills fl'so cheap cnmmy In tho s'nse that It dite not r present nn imei-st bearing obligation of the goveinm-nt. In that r sp-ct and lu the nsjieci that. It Is a legl tvnd-r It It a b tter currency than the n:itloual bank note. Because of tli so vleas I have urged the repeat not t n'y f the resumption claus, but also t f the p.ovisions tli!t Boiisht to sub -tltute bank notes for the outstanding treasury tiotea. No hlijmr duty reft uron the legislators of thu country than the prompt and tiual settleniriit of financial que t o is, upon a right and permanent basis.

Whilst we may not approach our oppouen s in resjiect to their political doctrines and partisan purposes, may we not come nearer to them in rrsonal attachment a fellow citizens? Agalu thank you for the bono you hae done me. I see the finance c .mml'tee has prepared a bill to be reported t the house of representatives at once, which I consider of the greatest importance. 11 is a Din to provide bv ample machinery for tho substitution of treasury notes for the entire volume of outstanding national bank currency. Cheers. Wheu that bill shall become a law lor Its provisions seem very reasonatle there will be In opera tlon two Influences which will be felt by the business Interests of this country. The silver bUl is to become a law; then every month. If John Sherman will obey the command of congress, the silver will mo rolling out over the country and through the channels of trade, like the red bio d that goes through a man's veins and arteries and elves him hie and power and energy and vitality. lApplnuse.J Tneu under this bill, which is ready to report to the house, the process will be going ou of Kubs'ituting treasury notes for the outstanding bank notes, and a non-interest bearing currency equ lly good In respect to the confidence the people will have ia It will take the place of the interest bearing currency. Ueuilemen, In ail tbe discussions I have had upon this subjt-ct 1 have sougut to avoid any reference to sectional division upon it. 1 shad regret, aa no man can more regret, if upon the financial question there shall come to be a division ol sentiment uown as sectional at alt. Every sectional division la hurtful to our institutions, but the west has Interests that must be regarded. I Applause.) And the western people 1 speak of the democracy, and a large body, too, of reEubiicans are of the opinion that we Ought .0 ave a restoration of the silver money of the country; that we ouht to have a repeal of 1 he resumption law, which has fastened itself upon the ousiness interests of the country, and that we ought to hm a substitution of treasury notes for the hank notes. Applause. The west Rtauds upon that, and it ought to be accepted by all sections of the couutry. At the conclusion of Mr. Hendricks' remarks, the Hon. William Mack, of Terre Haute, proposed three cheers, to be given standing, for Mr. Hendricks and the principles advocated in his remarks, which waa agreed to and they were given with a vim. . John R. Coffroth, chairman of the committee on resolutions, made the following report as a declaration of principles: TltK PLATFORM. The democracy of the slate of Indiana assembled In uelejrute convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and In lieu thereof there shall be issued by tbe government an equal amount of -treasury notes with fall legal tender quality. That we are In favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender In payment of ail debis, public and private, except such obligations wnly as are by the terms of the original cvutracts under which they went issued, expressly payable iu coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as tO:n is the exclusive prerogative o the government, and such money shoul 1 ha Issued in such amounts as the sound business luteiests of the country may turn time to time require. W e are in favor of such legislation by congreRsaswltl authorize the taxation by the states of the United btates notes iu common wit hall other money. Tuat we deem it unwise and Inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of tbe uat'onal debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best Inter ms of tbe people would be subset ved by le.istating so as 10 distribute said debt among our people at homeaffording thmt the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings In the funded debt of the United Htates. That we are In favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of lu teres t at uot exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the bllverdollar, of WlYi grains, to the colu of the country, and with lull higai tender quality in the payment of all debis, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall oe unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided f r the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the Immediate and unconditloual repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of tbe most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that tne tee aud salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are lu favor of the repeal of the 1 'eypkrupt act. jThut we idnceroly deplore the recent violent U I .fl I lwtrtn lu.tiriu.n luHop anH naittfnl ai-iri tr prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order a ad security we believe that tho wages 01 corporal ons engaged In the biltiess 01 mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the projHTty, receipts and earnings of said corporal loDK, and th.it such lien shouJd be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation. """"That we favor the p.v-Rage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines one that would be just to the miner and owner. """lhe democratic party is the friend of the common school system, and will in ev ry legitimate way laltvr for its success, and will oppose any attempt to ulvert anv portion of the common school fund to any stct.riau purpose. 1 bat the last apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was gross y unjust and dishonorable, and we demabd that the next legisl ature, in apportioning the state for legish'.tive purposes, as will bu tho r. Imperative duty, shall bave regard alone to population and coutiguity of teriilory. That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United 8w.es over questions of corporate and individual rights arlsiug under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigant to such an extent as to amount to a pruct ical denial of Justice In many cases; and we consider the legislation wulcb has conferred such Jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the Hue interests of the people. And we demand such 1 gislatlon as will restrict and limit the Jun-.dlciion of such courts tisuch matters a are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in Mm Judiciary net of ITcStfi "W e are oppf-sed to class legislation, and protost aguiust the grant of 8ubidies-by the federal government, either iu Isnd.s. bonds, money or by tho pledge of the public credit. That we abhor and hold up topublic delest.tlou the leaders In the republican party who secretly connive;, and with haicfaced effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through veival returning boaids, whert by .sumuel J. Tllden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the po pie's cnoice for president and viee president, were wroiigfnliy fcepi cut o the populous to which a Ireo people had called them. We hold it up a the monster crime of the age, a crime against five goveruttitut, a crime against tbe elective franchise, an i a crime that can only bo con dotted wheu the malefactors who seated a fraud lu the presidential chair are dtiveu from power and consigned to everlasiiLg infamy by the peor le whom they have outraged. And we denounce theac.of the president of the Uulled ISiatea In appointing to high and lucrative pof-itior.s the corrupt niembei s of tho returning boards, and coudemn the net of federal olticcrs In attempting to luterfrre with tho rights and powers of the stole counsin the pr'tsecution of ttme criminals. . That our senators and representatives In congress be and are hereby requested to secure passage of a law giving 10 the soldiers of tlm Mexican war a penslou similar to that now given to the soldiers of tne war of lfdi After reading the resolutions, Judge Coffroth moved their adoption, but a gentleman from the Sixth district moved that the resolutions b-i considered separately, but he was promptly eat down upon, and they were adopted as n whole. A. T. Whittlesy then moved that no changes be allowed during the process of balloting, which wtu very nearly unanimously voted down. James K. Wilson made a motion that ihe secretary of tbe tonvention call the roll of countits ia alphabetical order, and that the chairman of each del-gitii.n aunonnce the vote of the county, and that the roll call D not proceeded with nntil each county has been heard from. This was agreed to. A motion was made by a member from the Thirteenth district that as tlm vote is proceeded with the lowest ciiidid ite be dropped on the second ba'Lt Not agred to.

The third ballot resulted in the nomination of Mr. Shanklia, and before tbe result was announced Judge Gooding proposed that the nomination of Snanklin be made unanimous this, however, after the nomination bad unquestionably been made. Toe proposition of Judge Gooding was hailed with cheers, aod there were loud calls for a speech from Mr. Shanklin, but that gentleman, whois noticeably modest, declined to go upon the stage, and 8 m ply arose from his seat in the parquette, and said: Mr. Psesihent and Gentlemen or tub Convention.

Stephenson, ot Dubois, and Pa'nck Shannon, of Vigo. The real liht of tbe day was now begun in earnest, as there wns much more feeling manifested by the friends of the candidates for this office than there was for the other positions. It was thought that Fleming, Cooper and Shannon would lead in the race, with the chances in favor of either Cooperor Shannon. At every announcement of a vote for either Fleming or Cooper the friends of the gentlemen cheered lustily, and the scene was one of animation. It soon became evident, however, that all but Fleming were losing ground, and each succeeding ballot he g lined strength. Mr. Kramer requested to nave his name withdrawn before tbe second ballot.

The vote was finally cast 15 for Flerainjj and one for William. On this ballot therwas also a wrangle among the Marion county delegates, one member insisting thst v votes be cast for Shannon.
