THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27. 1888.

fiEPTJBUCAS CONTENTION.

Concluded From Fifth Page. necessary that the resolution be read for information. The republican party was not afraid to meet any nuestion. i inally quiet was restored and Mr. Boutelle read the resolution. The first concern of all good government is the rirtu and obriety of the people and the purity of their homes. The republican party eordially lympathizes with all wise and welldirected efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. As soon as this vraa read there was a rush from the various states to second the motion, and after some time the question was put and the resolution adopted by a rising Tote, only ono delegate from Maryland being brave enough to record himself in the negative. A vote of thanks was then tendered to the chairman and other members of the convention, and then on motion of Mr. Uiscock, the convention at 8 :52 adjourned without day. JIow n&rrlson Got There. Chicago, June 25. Chairman Cooper, of the Pennsylvania state committee, who has all during the convention opposed Senator Quay in his efforts to nominate Senator Sherman, to-night gave some interesting inside views of the Blaine movements last night and to-day. Chairman Cooper Bays that "last night the Blaine men had assurances of 600 votes in the convention, and a plan to nominate Blaine to-d?.y was fully arranged. At that time the managers of the Blaine movement had received the first of the cablegrams which were read in the convention to-day. It was then decided to nominate Blaine notwithstanding this dispatch. Thi3 TQOrning another conierence was held, and it was definitely decided to force the nomination of Mr. Blaine on the fourth ballot to-day. This agreement was reached upon Senator Cooper's own motion. It was also asrreed that if this plan succeeded, of which the managers had not a doubt, to ha-e the convention adjourn and await a reply from Blaine. But before the convention met the 6econd dispatch from Blaine was received and the scheme was abandoned. It was agreed to throw the Blaine vote to Harrison, which was done and resulted in Harrison's nomination. Will Swallow it, But Chicago, Ills., June 25. The Tribune (free trade republican, to-morrow will 6ay concerning the head of the ticket: '. It would be 6hef r hypocrisy on the part of the Tribun to pretend that it thinks the convention placed in nomination the strongest candidate before it, for its readers would not believe such, an opinion sincere. The general belief is that the convention was not influenced by the question of availability to any perceptible degree. "What has been done is beyond recall, correction or change. It must stand for this election and there is nothing left for straight party men who had a ditferent first choice but to make the best of it by supporting the nominee. The candidate himself will be found to possess mneh to admire, lie has belonged to the republican party since its organization. He has heen true to ifc fundamental principles. lie has voted its ticket and stomped for it and represented it in the senate chamber and risked his life on the battlefield in defense of its priciples. He is a roaa of clean character and pious conduct and correct morals, and intellectually an abler man than his competitor for the next term of the presidency. The delegated representatives of the party having selected Gen. Harrison from all the candidates, the T ribnne bows to the verdict of the convention and will give such support to the nominee a3 his record shall Justify. Farther than this an honest party journal is not bound to go. A Deep Gloom at Lafayette. Lafayette, June 25. Special. Harrison's nomination has cast a deep gloom over the republicans here and many have expressed their avowed disapproval. Gresham was a popular favorite with Blaine. A weak attempt was made here to-night to enthuse over Morton, but two tin horns were the only ones heard. Dissatisfaction is a substantial fact and will make practical showing in November balloting, when the clique will not control the popular vote. Harrison, by all his friends, is considered the weakest man whom the republicans could have named. Hisnomination has been received with tears of political regret in many places. A Fisk club was organized here to-night with fifty members. J. Ii. Stinespring was elected president. Nine out of ten of the members are ftaunch republicans, but .will vote for prohibition next falL Like An Arctic Itlast. Fort Wayne, June 25. Special. The nomination of Gen. Harrison came like an arctic blast on the republicans of this Gresham stronghold and hundreds of republicans avow their intention to vote for Cleveland and Thurman. Their names are published in local papers. The laboring classes are also against Gen. Harrison to a man, and the German element will vote solidly against him. Frederick Douglass and others spoke from the eastbound trains to-night, but could not muster three cheers for the republican ticket Allen county is good for 5,000 democratic majority. Republicans for Cleveland, Phut, June 2G. Special. To-night was the reorganization of the old Hendricks club here. Frank D. Butler, one of the best organizers of the country, is its president, assisted by a vice-president from each ward. Speeches were made by J. L. Farrer, J. T. Cox and Charles A. Cole, at the close of which a staunch republican came up and attached his signature to the long list of members. Grt-sh-am had many friends here who now openly avow that they will support Cleveland and the old Roman. The mugwump cry will be louder than ever in this campaign. BENJAMIN HARRISON. Sketch of the Career of the Republican ' Nomtnc tor the Presidency. Benjamin Harrison was born at North Bend, O., Aug. 20, 1833. At the age of fourteen years he was sent to Cary's academy, on Walnut Hills, a suburb of Cincinnati, and in 1S50 he entered Miami university, at Oxford, O., as a junior. In 1852 he was graduated fourth in a c!a?s of sixteen, and at once began the study of law with Judge Bellamy Storer, in Cincinnati In October, 1So3, he married Miss Carrie L. Scott, a daughter of resident Scott, of the female college at Oxford. In 1854 he removed to Indianapolis and began the practice of the law. His law practice has been very lucrative and he has accumulated considerable wealth. He inherited nothing from his father but his education and confronted the future as a poor young man with more than ordinary family cares and responsibilites. He began early in his career to take part in the political etrgIe of the period and basal ways occurred a radical position in the most radical wing of the republican party. In lSßO he formed a law partnership with W. E. Fishback and subsequently ex-Gov. Porter was taken into the firm. This partnership Listed several years. In the Lincoln campaign of 1SC0 he was the republican candidate for reverter of the supreme court and was elected to that

office on the ticket with Henry S. Lane and Oliver P. Morton. The war came on and Mr. Harrison entered the military service. He was re-elected to thereportership in 1S64. InlSGSGen. Harrison declined a second re-election and returned to the practice of the law, bearing his full part, however, in all the political campaigns that intervened. In 1S76 he declined the use of bis name as a nominee for governor, but Mr. Orth having resigned from the ticket in the midst of the campaign, the republican central committee, in deference to the universal demand of the party, nominated Gen. Harrison to the vacancy. Being out of the state, and beyond the reach of the telegraph, the general knew nothing of the action until he reached the borders of Indiana on his return home. The campaign was a very memorable one. Gen. Harrison, assisted bv Gov. Morton and other eminent republicans, made a thorough canvass of the state. No effort was spared by the republican national or 6tate administrations to elect Mr. Harrison. Money was poured into the state from Wall-st. and manufacturingsections; the "plugugly" and short hair gentry of Philadelphia were brought by the car load into the cities of the state ; importations were made from the state line counties of Illinois and Ohio and notwithstanding the most herculean labor the democratic candidate "Blue Jeans Williams defeated Mr. Harrison nearly 7,000 votes. Four years later the republicans carried the legislature and in acknowledgment of the services of Gen. Harrison he was elected to the U. S. senatorship. During the canvasses ot 1878 and 1SS0 ho had given the greenbackers mortal offense by his open and rather coarse criticisms of the policy and theories of that party. He denounced the leaders as "idiots," and declared that they should be detained in lunatic asylums. He seems to have estranged the labor element about the same time, and especially at tho period of the

taa k mm mm a m , . i"v-4 i n . GENERAL HARRISON'S RESIDENCE. great railroad strike, when Gen. Harrison advised the most extreme measures in opposition to the policy pursued by Gov. Williams and Mayor Caven. Gen. Harrison's career in the senate was not particularly brilliant. His record on the Chinese question will not recommend him to the good people of the Pacific coast. His vote was recorded against the Chinese restriction act, and, in fact, his entire record is exceedingly vulnerable. His friends will be kept busy during the campaign in explaining and defending it. At the close of his term in the TJ. S. senate he made an active and thorough canvass of the state with the understanding that he would be a candidate for reelection before the legislature. Notwithstanding the activity and thoroughness of the canvass the legislature showed a democratic majority of two, which was preserved throughout the session, notwithstanding the most disgraceful and corrupt schemes set afoot by Mr. Harrison's political friends to overthrow that majority. The contest was recent and familiar to our readers. Judge Turpie was elected the U. S. senator and his election fully indorsed afterward by a republican senate. The questionable efforts made bv Gen. Harrison's friends to secure a solid delegation for him to Chicago are known throughout the state and are well understood, especially by the friends of Judge Gresham,who were ridden over rough shod on everv occasion. The Chicago Tribune, the leading republican paper of the Northwest, a few days since published the views of a delegate to the republican convention, which explains largely why Gen. Harrison would be acceptable to one of the most corrupt elements of the republican party. The Tribune says: A delegate of prominence and not an active supporter of any one of the candidates, in talking to a reporter for the Tribune yesterday said: "It is strange that the inside of Steve Elkins' alliance with Harrison has not yet become known. They are partners in business. When Harrison went to Washington he struck up an intimacy with Senator Davis of West Virginia. Elkins married a daughter of Senator Davis, and the intimacy extended to him. A few vears ago a scheme was entered into by Harrison and Elkins for the organization of the Harrison cattle company of Montana. Harrison's son, who is now or was recently in Elkins' office in New York, was made the executive head of the comSany and sent out to Montana. Elkins oated the stock and bonds of the cattle company amounting to $2,000,000. Since that enterprise was set on foot the business and personal relations between the two men have been of the most intimate nature. Whenever Harrison goes to New York he makes his headquarters in Elkins' office, and whenever he takes his summer vacation he goes to Deer Tark in Maryland. The cattle company has had a difficult time during the last two years, like many others there, and it is understooa is now in ieep water. Elkins con trols the affairs of the cattle company, ana Ii Harrison should he elected presi dent of the United States he would be under pressing and Etrong obligations to Elkins. This statement may explain why Elkins stopped at Indianapolis to see Harrison, and why he is now urging Harrison's nomination with such pertinacity. "if Blaine had been elected he would have been able to manage Elkins. The case is exactly the opposite with Harrison. Should Harrison be elected ho will bo managed by Elkins. So great is the grip of Elkins upon Harrison, financially and personally, that snouia tie tircome president he might be placed at times in an embarrassing position. "Elkins has promoted the candidacy of Harrison ry using two eets ot arguments to the delegates who have accepted the declination of Mr. Blaine as a linality first, because Harrison was a soldier; second, localise he came from a doubtful state. To the last-ditch Blaine men he appealed that pome votes be thrown to Harrison, in order to equalize the strength of the various candidates, and thereby prevent the nomination of uuybodv except Blaine. He has thus succeeded in winning the support of Charles Emory Smith and Whitelaw Reid and other Blaine men who were otherwise unfavorable to Harrison and would not be it they knew be was the partner of Steve Elkins. "It is well known," continued the delegate, as he lit a cigar, "to persons who are familiar with the business relations of Blaine, Harrison and Elkins that the nomination of Harrison would be more to the interest of Elkins than would be that of Blaine, and hence the desire of Elkins to promote the nomination of Harrison. The same is true of Kerens of St. Louis, Dorsey

V2 Kl 1

of New Mexico and other representatives of the 'star-route' and land-grab syndicates, who would be potential in the administration if Harrison should be elected. They have been playing for enormous stakes and counting upon the ignorance of the delegates. If Kerens, Elkins and Dorsey should be the kitchen cabinet, Harrison would be an imposing figure in the White House and the last republican president." "It is not believed, however, by those who are conversant with Harrison's political career that he can be elected, notwithstanding his army of ."boomers, who are mainly county and township committeemen. Harrison has no hold on the people of his state. There is not a doubtful man in Indiana who would not get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to vote against him. He is recognized in Indiana as he was in Washington, as a cold, selfish politician, austere and distantin his manner. He has never been elected to any office by popular suffrage and never will be, and should he receive the nomination, the republican party will lose Indiana just as surely as the sun rises on election day. His nomination would be received with cheers by his strikers, but a chilling apathy would seize the voters, and a month before election $250,000 would be asked for from Wall-st. to save the state and it would not come, for Harrison is no more popular in the East than in the West. The truth is, we have all been too tender and mealymouthed in dealing with the Harrison boomers. Wo have permitted them to say without contradiction that he could carry the state, whereas he would be the worst whipped man tho republicans have run in Indiana in twenty years. I think, moreover, that if the truth were to become known about the relations between Harrison and Elkins and the other Southwestern landgrabbers and star-route men there would be a landslide away from the republican party all over the country long before election-day. "The association of Elkins with Blaine undoubtedly cost the party the last election, and it will be an everlasting misfortune and shame if that same brilliant New Mexican political adventurer shall have the asceudencv in the management of the next campaign. The republican iarty loved Blaine and condoned the existence of Elkins on his account, but it will not endure another national campaign conducted under such auspices." Another delegate from the Northwest who is largely interested in stock-raising, when asked if he thought Steve Elkins was for Harrison as Blaine's friend, said: "Elkins would like to see Harrison nominated, but he is too shrewd to believe that such a result can ever be achieved. I will not say anything uncomplimentary to Gen Harrison, because he is a candidate for president and I may have to vote for for him, but Elkins is supporting him solely on the ground that they were business partners. I hardly think that Gen. Harrison has made much money by the partnership; indeed, I have been told that he has lost some. However, the Harrison cattle company of. Montana has passed out of their hands, as I was informed it had been sold last night, and the least said about the company the better." "How was the company organized?" "Gen. Harrison, Elkins, Gen. Hazen and a lot of others were the stockholders and Elkins was to sell the bond3. They started out to raise stock on a stupendous scale, but Elkins for some reason or other was never able to float the bonds. The companv was one of the most obnoxious in the Northwest, and while I like Harrison, I will not vote for him in the convention." "Do vou blame him for making the company obnoxious?" "No, but Elkins is to blame. If you want to find out all about that company write to 'Joe' McCammon of Pennsylvania, ex-assistant secretarv of the interior. Elkins would be president if Harrison were elected, and I regard him as an unscrupulous man. His connection with the cattle company must have hurt Gen. Harrison financially." "And you believe Elkins would be president should Harrison be nominated and elected?" "I do; and yet Elkins is simply working for Harrison because they were business partners. Elkins, though, will desert Harrison at any moment. Everybody knows what Harrison did in the Blaine libel suit against Tue Indianapolis Sentinel. If that was not a piece of duplicity I would like to know what is. Elkins quotes Harrison as Blaine's friend, and yet Harrison was a candidate against Blaine four and eight years ago. It will take somebody besides John C. New, the enemy of Blaine and a man who has repeatedly alleged that Blaine could not carry Indiana, to vouch for Harrison's friendship to the Plumed Knight." LEVI P. MORTON.

Tho Republican Nomine for the VicePresidency Named at Chicago. It is safe to say that had it not been for Mr. Morton's barrel the chances are that he would never have been thought of in connection with the vice-presidency. He is a man of mediocre ability, with no special amount of influence in any direction, and no political record of importance. He Mas elected to congress from the aristocratic Fifth-ave. Murray Hill district of New York, and after that was sent to Paris by President Arthur in part payment of his contributions to the Garfield-Arthur campaign fund of 1SS0. Atter he was succeeded .to the French mission by Minister McLane he returned to New York and made an effort to get into the United States senate through the legislature of his state, but made a failure of it, since which time he has withdrawn from public life, Mr. Morton is expected to canvass Wall-st. and eastern manufacturingdistricts whenever the national republican committee falls short of funds, which will probably be quite often during tho next few months. CITY AND STATE PRIDE RUNNING HIGH. Republicans Almost Go Stark Mad Upon Receipt ot the News From Chicago. Republicans generally in this city had abandoned all hopo of Gen. Harrison's nomination, and so when the result of tho eighth and final ballot was flashed over the wires people were momentarily dazed. When the full truth of it dawned upon their minds, however, there was a lusty cheer for Harrison, which was echoed and re-echoed throughout the city. The news spread with lightning rapidity. Tcople carried it up and down street, and in the remotest parts of the city wild - hurrahs could be heard. Enthusiastic republicans vied with each other in testing their lung powers, and in the exuberance of the hour fairly went wild. Voices were unequal to the occasion, and soon gave place to tin horns and other instruments of brain and car torture. The din Was deafening, unearthly, maddening., . ' N6thlng liko it had been beard since the campaign of 1SS4, and it was spontaneous, earnest, impulsive. Besides the joy the news pve to Gen. Harrison's personal and political friends, there was the additional delight in the fact that Indiana had been called upon to furnish a presidential candidate. Democrats smiled and watched the demonstrations good-naturedly, as if to say to their opponents, "this is j-ourday; make the most of it." Then democrats looked upon tho

nomination whether with fair-siehted-

ness and good judgment orliot as a weak one, and this was one of the chief reasons for their happy disposition. "Can we beat Harrison?" asked one democrat of another at the Bates house corner. "Beat him, was the quick rejoinder; "of course we can. We beat the kid gloves with a pair of blue jeans trousers in 1S76 and we can do it easily this year with a cotton handkerchief." Then there was a hearty laugh all round at this unique way of putting it. Democrats really seemed to he about as enthuastic as republicans. State pride was running high. The painting red pro cess had begun vig orously. Every other man republican, of course decorated himself in some outlandish fashion. Harrison plug hats were be decked a deep crimson, without reference to arttistic finish or material used, and these the Harrisonites donned proudly. and with tin horns strode down the street. The huge pictures in one frame of Harrison and G? ham hanging in front of the Bi Four office were hastily taken down, and when they reappeared " they were painted red. It M ould have been more appropriate to have detached Gresham's picture, but this could not be done conveniently or without dela y, and there was no standing on the order of things. Flags and bunting were displayed in great quantities little flags, big flags, all sort3 of flags. Small silkenflags Mere shown from the pocket as a take-off for the red bandana, which had been so conspicuous. Horses and vehicles were covered Mith flags. Half a dozen half" crazy republicans would crowd themselves into a small carriage and then, Mildly Maying flags and tooting horns, Mould go about the streets adding to the deafening din. One of the most picturesque turnouts was Frank Bird's tally-ho loaded down M ith republicans all decorated in corgeous style. It Mas driven over town and was everywhere hailed with cheers. A carriage filled Mith Second ward republicans, drawn by four black hordes, also attracted much attention. While out ratifying in this M ay the enthusiasts M ere wont to stop in front of the the Xeus and the Journal office and other republican strongholds M-here there would be a fusillade of tin horns. The din in the streets continued, but lessened somewhat in volume as republicans gradually M ore themselves out. At 4.15 o'clock the booming of a cannon or anvil was heard above everything else. It M-as fired at very short intervals and shook the buildings in the center of the city. The salutes came from Circle park, and there Mas no cessation for nearly two hours. Everybody wanted to find some more satisfactory May to relieve his exhuberance, and the natural query arose: "When will the republicans ratify?" This was answered late in the afternoon, by the appearace in the street of a covered wagon, on either side of which Mas this flaming announcement: : IIAEP.ISON MEETING : TO-NIGHT, i AT THE j I COÜKT-UOÜSE. I Martial music furnished by fife and drum attracted attention to the M-agon, and when the announcement had been generally circulated, the more staid citizens went home to get a little rest before the meeting assembled, leaving the din-making to small boys and ultra-enthusiastic youths and men, who seemed to find the keenest enjoyment in making the most hideous rackets imaginable, borne marched around town keeping step to the Mords: Harrison, Harrison, Benjamin Harrison. And so the noise wa.t kept up until late in the night, some of the participants looking sadly disfigured before they had half performed the delightful task they had undertaken that of "painting the tOM'n red." Shortly before 4 o'clock a process ion came marching up Uli nois-st. from the depot to the music of a brass band. It M as first mistaken for a delegation just in from Chicago, but the familiar form of the Rev. Ira J. Chase, ex-department-commander of the G. A. R., in the lead, disclosed the fact that it was a delegation from Danville, Ind. There M-ere about forty in line, all wearing Harrison plug hats and bausres. The figures "ö44" were conspiculously displayed, some of the men having it Mritten all over them. They stopped before the Xens and the' Journal ofccs and Berenaded the same, and then M-ent north to Gen. Harrison's house on DelaMare-st. Large delepations from Noblesville, Kokomo and Upton, similarly equipped, came in shortly after ward and went tnrougn about tne same programme. After nightfall, at the adjournment of the court house meeting, the city Mas a perfect bedlam. The tin-horn Mas tho chief disturber, and nervous people M ere rendered "fit subjects for a lunatic asylum," M hich was once said by Gen. Harrison of the greenbackers. A novel procession passed The Sextinel office at 9 o'clock, consisting of about fifty men and boys afoot following a man on horseback, M ho was M rapt in the stars and stripes. Their motto seemed to be "where he leads we will follow," and as he was evidently enjoyine. the . fun and distinction, and didn t have to M alk, he led them a lively chase. Some of the rooRt ludicrous scenes were witnessed in the streets. Even the babies, who Mere pushed through the crowds in troublesome cabs, had been decorated for

J-

the occasion by republican mothers. The din was sufficient to have converted them

into infantile idiots. The night was a hideous one for most folks. IT MEANS A FIGHT IN INDIANA. Opinions of Democrats and Others Touch- ; fng Harrison's Strength. Gov. Gray said yesterday afternoon: "I regard Mr. Harrison as a stronger man than Mr. Blaine as a national candidate because he has less antagonisms. Gen. Harrison's nomination is perhaps as strong as could have been made from this state. How far state pride Mill help him I can't 6a v, this being the first time that Indiana has ever had a presidential candidate." "Do you regard Indiana as the principal battlefield ?" "Well, I think the republicans made a bid for it when they nominated Harrison, as he M-ould not have been the nominee, I-think, unless he had been a resident of this state. The republicans will put forth their greatest efforts in Indiana, NeM' Jersey and Connecticut. Of course they have not given up New York but it is generally believed that the democrats will carry it." "Cleveland and Thurman Mill carrv Indiana, and more than that, they Mill be elected." SENATOR MCDONALD. Ex-Senator McDonald was found by a Sentinel representative yesterday . afternoon at his law office, busily engaged in writing. The sounds of the demonstration ratifying Harrison's nomination M ere creating a fearful din. But the explosion of fire crackers and the awful torturing blasts of the tin horns seemed to affect the distinguished democrat but little. "What is my opinion of the nomination?" he said,"in response to the reporter's interrogation. "I think it's äs good a one as the republicans could have made. Gen. Harrison will carry the full vote of his party in Indiana, and the fact of his being a citizen of the state will add something to that on the score of state pride. But I do not think he M-ill carry Indiana. On tho contrary I believe Cleveland and Thurman M-ill carry it by a majority ranging anywhere from 5,0u0 to 10,000. Gen. Harrison, m hile strong M ith the line vote of his party, is not f trong Mith the elements from which his party must draM- in order to get a majority. Particularly is he M eak M ith the greenback party and he has no special hold on the labor element, but, indeed, he Mill be antagonized by it and will not draw especial strength from the prohibition element. No republican candidate can hope to succeed in Indiana M ho cannot make large drafts upon all these elements, because without their aid the republican party is in the minority. On the other hand the democratic candidates will carry the entire strength of the democratic party and M ill draw considerably from the "greenback and labor elements." "What do vou think of Mr. Harrison's strength in the Pacific states?" "The difficulty about the Pacific states," he said, "is that the emigration into them M ithin the last tM elve or eighteen months has been very large, and a majority of the emigrants have been republicans. The democratic ticket ought to be strong on the Pacific slope on account of the Chinese question. Whether it will be strong enough to overcome the effect of Eastern emigration I have my serious doubts." "What ot Mr. Harrison's strength in New York?" "I think the same causes that m ill defeat him in Indiana will cause his overthrow in New York. I have an abiding confidence in the success of the ClevelandThurman ticket." mr. English's opinion. The Hon. W.H.English said he had a high regard for Gen. Harrison personally and did not know any republican M ho Mould be likely to make a better president, looking at it from a republican standpoint. "But the general," said he, "cannot expect democratic votes, for he is a representasentative republican and strong party man. He Mill not be any stronger than his party, even in Indiana. In fact, it is by no means certain that he M ill be that strong, for, no matter what the outMard indications may be, the friends of Gresham are undoubtedly very sore. Then he M ill have serious trouble m ith the greenbackers, who have long held the balance of poM er in this state, and have never forgotten or forgiven his bitter denunciations. Also the labor organizations have no sympathy with him, on account of his Chinese record, and for other reasons not necessary to mention." Upon the whole Mr. English thought that the democrats had not the slightest occasion to be dissatisfied Mith the outlook. The blowing of "toot horns" on the streets by boys did not make votes, however amusing it might be to the boys. WORKING MEN DISGUSTED. A Brief Interview With Editor Gruelle of 'The Labor Signal. Mr. Thomas Gruelle, editor of the Lahor Signal, M-ent to Chicago and Marked earnestly for the nomination of Judge Gresham, believing him to be a friend of the M-orkinirmen and a man whose vieM S on the tariff M ere reasonable and sound. He came home disgusted at the disposition shown by the convention, especially Mith reference to the platform, and his disgust M as intensified yesterday by Harrison's nomination. He retards Gen. Harrison as the M eakest man the party could have nominated, and on account of his record does not see hoM' any laboring man can vote for him. "This is a great day for Indiana republicans said Mr. Gruelle to a Sentinel reporter, "and I do not begrudge them all the happiness they can extract from the situation. For a fortnight Mr. Harrison will be cock of the M alk in Indiana, but after that time the enthusiasm Mill subside. All the talk about "state pride" will cease, and all the candidates in the field can be judged upon their individual merits, without regard to party or state. The position of organized labor in Indiana M-as correctly stated by the gentleman who accompanied me to Chicago, notwithstanding the misrepresentations of Mr. Harrison's organ. I have no more to say now, but after the excitement has subsided and reason is restored to the populace, I shall have more to say." Knights of Labor generally expressed the most intense disgust at the nomination of Gen. Harrison, and it is M'ith this element that he is particularly M eak. CALLED THEM IDIOTS AND FOOLS. Greenback a Unit In Opposition to Gen. Ilarriftou 111 MaMinBville Speech. Mr. Samuel Douglass, formerly state secretary of the greenback party, regards Gen. IlaJrison's nomination as a very w eak one. He said in the course of a conversation yesterday : "There are 20,000 independent voters in Indiana and they consist mostly of tho remains of the old greenback party. They will vote eolMlv against Mr. Ilarrison. They are very bitter against him because of his having called them 'idiots and fit subjects for a lunatic asylum' in the course of a speech delivered at Martinsvile, Ind., in 1876. The greenbackers of Indiana will consider it their duty to turn out for Cleveland as against Harrison. The policy of the present administration has also been very acceptable to the greenback party, the tariff views of the two parties being almost coincident. The manner in which the administration has been paying off bouds is also approved of by our party.

The only thing the greenbackers do n like is Mr. Cleveland's position on the a

ver question. HE HAD THE VOTES TO SELL A Nesrro Delegate Who was Distrusted Votes at 8100 Earh. 1 Chicago Special to the Repub'Ic.J !

A RrpuUir. reporter was standing in the ser ond-lioor corridor of the Grand Pacific thi afternoon when a negro named Smith of Wash incrton, wuo was secretary of the convention held in the District of Columbia which notnl nated Miellenbarger and Dvson, approaches him and offered to sell two tickets to the con vention for $10. He said in explanation : 'We have been downed in the District c Co lumbia ficht, and now that Sherman ha been downed I want to get out of this and g home." "In what way has Sherman been done up? the reporter asked. "Oh, they are combinina; against him." "Who?" "Why, the South. The negroes in one a two of the Southern states are ready to qu: him now.

Smith did not appear to be fully convinced, r he added, "You have no badge on." "That's all risrht. I'm a friend all the same." for was the reporter's answer. "Well, you may come along," Smith said finally, "nut 1 don't suppose Hccker will care to have you present when we discu&s the thing." Smith and the reporter went to the room, which the former said was occupied by Hecker, room 522, but finding that there was no such room. Smith started down Ftairs to the Michigan headquarters to get the correct number. The reporter searched around and found Frederick J. Hecker of Detroit, who is managing Aider's boom, located in room ltiö, and he hastened thither. He found the room filled with colored delegates, most of them etil wearing Sherman Dadges. One darkey waj saying: "We stuck to Sherman as long as we could, but now we are ready to change." Mr. Hecker w::s seated on a bed, but arose presently and retired to an ante-room with a colored delegate, the door leading to the room being guarded by a member of the Detroit Journal staff", who permitted no one to enter or to disturb Mr. Hecker while presumably engaged in important negotiations. The reporter took a seat and awaited developments. About two minutes latter, Smith, who had evidently been directed aright in the meantime, entered. His coming had evidently been awaited, for Senator Stockbridge, who was present, went up to him immediately and shook him by the hand. They then seated themscves on the side of the bed, and Senator Stockbridjie said: "1 see that you still wear a Sherman badjre. Well, he is a good man and I have nothing to say against him. Dut I think I can thow jou that we have a better man." Smith's reply was to the effect that he thought such might be the rase. Senator Stockhridffe then whispered a few words in the ear of a young man who was in the room and the latter retired w ith Smith to an upper story, where the alleged deal may have been consummated. Caution. If you ask your druggist for Pond's Extract, and he tries to impose upon you by ofierintr "something the same as Pond's Extract," do not believe him. There is nothing the same as Pond's Extract. It can not be successfully imitated, and any articles offered as uch are only worthless counterfeits. Put no faith in any druggist trying to so deceive you. It is sold only in bottler, inclosed in buff wrappers, with the words, "Pond's Extract" blown in the glass, and is never sold in bulk. Why continue the use of irritating powders, snuffs or liquids when Ely's Cream Balm, pleasant of application and a sure cure for catarrh and cold in the head.ean be had? Fifty cents at druggists or by mail. Not a liquid or a snuff. For chronic catarrh, induced by a scrofulous taint, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the true remedy. It stops catarrhal discharges, removes the sickening odor, and never fails to thoroujrnly eradicate every trace of the disease from the blood. Sold by all dealers iu medicine. Clinging to the Last. The rirus of rheumatism often remains in the system through life, when it doe? n t cut the thread of existence suddenly, as it is always liable to do by attacking the heart. Ere the grip of this tenacious disease tightens it should be unloosed by that beneficent liberator from disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will free tho sufferer at the outsc from subsequent pain and danger. Jfo purer r more agreeable blood depurent exists, as multitudes of the rheumatic and neuralcic hare ascertained by certified experience. It is throueh the medium of a regular action of ths kidneys and bladder that an outlet is afforded for the escape of impurities which beget not onlv rheumatism, but gouty ailments, and dropsical effusions. To these organs the Bitters gives an impulse, never verging on tho bounds of irritation, but sufficiently vigorous to cause them and the Dowels to perform'their functions with clock like precision. Use it also for dyspepsia, billiousncss. lever and ague and debility. Advice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are culling teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once: it produces natural, quiet sleep bv relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub'awake as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant to taste. It eoothes the child, softens tha gums, allnvs all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes.
