McNeeley. Evansvil. Calvix Cowgill, Wabash. William Elliott. New Castle. There were two conspicuous interests in the Denison house lobby Thursday morning before the republican itate convention met at Tomlinson hali. One was the scheme to form combinations that would keep Stanton J. reelle and Charles F. (iriffin from eoinz to the Minneapolis convention as delegates, and the other wag John G. Blake, superintendent of the school for the feeble minded. Mr. Blake was diligently promoting a claim for a big appropriation for his institution from the next ceneral assembly and Chairman Gowdy of the republican state committee was vigorously pushing his desire to go to the convention in place of Peelle. It was Mrren the part people from the northern of the state who were driving Griffin at a lively gait about the lobby in eflbrts to head off" opposition. Griffin is shrewd enough to court the favor of young voters, and so many of them were around that the crippled veterans of boodle packers were constantly falling over them. Where the republican party got these young fellows was not explained, but they were energetic and innocent, for they have not gone far on the road of political iniquity where the republican party dwells. Hut it wag horrifying to hear one of them pay that things were in each a condition that cne might look for a good deal of throat cutting. The idea went abroad that reelle was rot sound on the tariff and many asserted that he was an apostate; that the fold of protectionists knew him not. Then many wondered how he und Ilarripon could sleep in the same political bed without Eenjamin lifting him over the foot board. I3ut Benjamin has strange ideas concerning trusted agent?. For instance, he has implicit faith in Pension Commissioner Raum when there is no man in Indiana more vehemently cursed just now by soldiers who have voted the republican ticket than Kaum. They are swearing at him up hill and down dale, and breaking away from the republican party by the scores. This is because Raum is trying to save himself from nn investigation hy Lagging up the claims of republican soldiers. If Harrison persists in relying on Peelle for the care of V 'V ') t 7 A. im sr.:- - .x 4 c - I " v. ; heme interests, the protectionists too will revolt. There was a manifestation of such spirit yesterday morning before the convention met and the wicked Mr. Gowdy was secretly encouraging it. Another charge auainst i'ee'le was that on'ike Albert Gallatin Porter, he had nothing in common with "the plain people." Mr. Peelle has often, behind his back by republican friends.been accused of aristocratic pretensions. They know him, nd while it is not eupooel that, like Mr. Porter, he sighs for a wash basin every time he shakes hands during convention times, he would rather conduct affairs from behind the locked doora of a committee room. Bat Peelle took another hitch yesterday in hn auspenders and went in to win two points for himself to one for Harrison. The combinations could not be at him, and before the day was over he bad.the wicked Gowdy swearing allegiance anew to the republican party, it was a sad eight, but no more so than youngsters atroliiDg about with no heart in their support of Richard W, Thompson. They

t

OL

knew he would have to be nominated by acclamation, bnt one expressed the views of many when htj contemptuously remarked; "We wiil have to nominate Thompson, but I do not see why he should always be in the war. Ho has had his day." - When the delegates came together in Tomlinson hall an hour after the time fixed for meeting there was not enough spirit in them to keep a ward caucus moving. Un the platform were a few hidebound partisans who always think they are in the sanctuary when seated near the bosses of a convention. About the hall were a few more of them and in the balcony at long distances were groups of spectators. These with the delegates made up an assemblage of about 2,000 that, after Chairman Gowdy had called them to to order, listened to a prayer by the Rev. Ik R. Lucas. Every political sinner in tho crowd had a devout attitude while the reverend gentleman was asking the protection of the Almighty for the country and the politicians. If there was ever a crowd that needed praying for that republican convention was the one. In it were scores who think no more of prostituting the

r s St".

great right of suffrage by buying it than they did, after all night caucussing in trying to defeat Harrison's truest friend, Peelle, of going into the Penisoa house bar-room and ordering cocktails. It is one of those strange freaks of hallucination to see the republican party at prayers. I'frmnnfnt Orgnn tiktion. Having thus adjaste 1 the convention to proper guidance the proceedings began with a purpose of the delegates to fail foul of each other if it became necessary. The committee on permanent organization was called on for a report, and jut as its young chairman stepped to tho front of the staeo romo one pulled a string and down from the ceiling' dropped a large American nag with a lithograph of Harrison covering a good portion of it. When the delegates caught sight of Benjamin's features there was scattering applause. The innocent lamb who stood there with the r. port of the committee on organization thought it was for him. lie smiled like an idiot and blushed like a maiden. He got over it though when the fact penetrated Iiis brain that applause was not usually accorded chairmen of committees on per manent organization. The report was that Warren G. Savre of Wabash had been cho.-:en permanent chairman and Robert Brown ot Franklin permanent secretary. The rules of tho Fifty-lire i congress, as "interpreted and applied by Thomas B. Reed," were adopted to govern the convention, end the lnt of ar-sistant secretaries, committees and vice-presidents heretofore puiilishel was approved. When Mr. Sayro came on to take charge of the convention he cot more app lause than Harrison's picture. Nobody laughed though when he opened his epeechmaking with, "I believe I Ree a quorum presei re v w to predicting over such a dojv oi repi ans." They knew that his "body, heart and brain were full of republicanism." He had been a republican all hin life, "joyous in its victories and depressed in its defeats.'' He thought the prospects in the nation and Btate were never better for a great victory than now. He praised the party and Harrison, the latter receiving especial mention for his judicial appointments, particularly that of Jud ire Wood. At this the convention yelled with delight with an inclination to wave hats and continue the racket to the de ay of other business. .Say re thought the appointment phould be indorsed, if for no other reason because he sent democrats to the penitentiary. That too was loudly applauded. A Lttl 1'rlrnoii. The committee on credential than reported delegations all right and everybody Tor Harrison. There was some time wasted in waiting fur tho committee on resolutions. They had been put in such bad shape that the committee could not make good Rnulish out of them. This gave tho Allen county people a chance to causo a little friction. They showed a purposa to abolish the committee and have another appointed. McCarthney, who had been announced by the committee on permanent organization as the Twelfth district representative on resolutions, it was contented was not the choice of the caucus, and R. T. McDonald wanted to know by what authority McCarthney was placed there as the vote in caucus was a tie. "it has been done, but how I cannot say," said Mr. Say re. "The report of the committee on permanent organization has been ratified by the convention." Frank B. Posey took the convention out of a squabble by moving that the order of business be chanced so as to permit tho election of national delegates, while waiting for the resolutions. A l lnw of Ortry. M. R. Suker of the Third district is a little man, but has voice enough for a prize fightor. His tongue is coated with southern Indiana accent and Iiis periods abound with eloquence. He used his full ten minutes allowed by the rules to nominate XewlandT. Del'auw. W. A. Van Jiuren of the. Ninth district wanted to have Mr. Del'auw choeen by acclamation in the interest of Peelle.-but the convention would not have it. (.'lorn Studebaker then modestly seconded the nomination and he wai followed by Binkler of the Hixth and others of the First. Second and Fifth districts. Van Buren tried his motion, again, but there were cries of "no" from all parts of tho hall. Samuel Jones of Ripley related the merits and services of John K. Gowdy, and R. U. F. IVirse of Indianapolis performed like nervices for Ftanton J. Peelle. Thomas II. Nelson of Terro Haute praised the career of Richard W. Thompson and Frank Posey in moving that that selection be mado by acclamation caused great applause, and culled Mr. Thompson "the pioneer of republicanism" in Indiana. Kxbenator JJa Motto of Valparaiso nominated

Charles F. Griffin and covered his candidate with praise. J. R Kenner spoke some time for Calvin Cowgill of Wabash and that closed the list. In these speeches everything was looked after tarilf, labor, money, the past of the republican party, the old soldiers, Sons of Veterans, local option and natural gas. Nothing escaped. The Ilaanlutlona. The committee on resolutions came in and interfered with the voting by presenting the following: The republicans of Indiana, in state convention assembled, believing that a continuation of the republican party in power is essential to good government and the development of the material resouroes of the country, hereby reaffirm our devotion to the principles of the party as set forth in the platform adopted at the national convention in and we declare: That a pure ballot and fair count are necessary to the maintenance of our republican institutions and the liberties of the people. That our manufacturing and labor interests should be protected by duties on imports, and by excludiug from our shores the criminal and vicious classes of other countries. We indorce the policy of reciprocity.whereby a larger market has been secured for our surplus products. We are in favor of honest money, of a dollar that, whether it be of geld, or silver, or paper, shad be of like value in the payment of debts. We indorse the acts of the Fifty-first concress which, in the main, fixed in the laws of the land the principles advocated by the republican party in the campaign of 1883, thus fulfilling its promises to the people. We lament the death of the late governor of Indiana, Heu. Alrin P. Hovey. Ha was a gallant soldier, a loyal and patriotio citizen, a faithful, broad-minded and conscientious executive. We place on record here our admiration for his hieh character and personal worth as a citizen, soldier and chief oilicer of the state. We indorse the brilliant administration of Benjamin Harrison, under which the country has prospered, the rights of American citizens abroad are maintained, the bonded debt of the I'nited States rapidly extinguished and the revenue collected with diminished cost to the people, and without corruption in any branch of the publie service. President Harrison has discharged his high duties in the spirit of a lofty patriotism and with a conscientious regard for the rights of all our people. That such a condition of affairs mar continue to prevail

j we urge his renominatin by the national con vention at Minneapolis, lie hai lifted the nation higher in greatness, power and dignity, and we instruct the delegates this day elected to give him their earnest and unswerving support, by working and votinz for his renoinination, so lone as his name is before the convention. Thus, and thus only, will they ratify the will of the republicans of Indiana, already pronounced. Cup'. White's Flre-rtrand. The resolutions did not reach a vote just then for Capt. James It. White quietly arose and turning to the convention remarked that the Alien county delegation wished to express its feelings in regard to that part of the resolution instructing the four delegates to voto for Harrison. He commended the one referring to the late Governor Hovey and paid that to instruct the delegates to vote lor Harrison was in bad connection following the eulogy to Hovey. "Had Harrison conducted himself as a great and patriotic statesman," t-aid thecantain, "there would not be a dissenting voice in this convention." Mr 6'"n "There is none now," several delegates , in diti'erent parts of the hall shouted. I Although Capt. White was near the re- ' porters, in the uproar that followed what he said was not intelligibly heard. A 1 dozen men were on the floor, each frantically demanding the recognition of the chair, but amid it all the captain sturdily ! held his ground. He would i not talk while tho noise ; was at its bight, but just as it subsided j ex-Congressman Cheadle rushed to bisas- ; eistance and, swinging his arms and ehout- ! ing at the ton of his voice, demanded a respectlul hearing for the captain. He eaid he carried a democratic district, a thing that Harrison could not do, and in his race for congress tho same year received 1,400 more votes than wero cast for tho republican national ticket. The captain then returned to the attack. Faying he meant no retlection on the character of President Harrison, or anv disrespect to him personall)', but there were thousands of men in Indiana just as respectable. "Why should our hands be tied in this matter?" ho asked. "What has Harrison done to deserve it?" "Everything," was a reply from fifteen or twenty voices. "He will lose the state by 25.000 votes," anci then the confusion began again more terrific than ever. Jeff Claypool sought to cad the captain down on a point of order. "You are not speaking to the question," he aid. "What question is there if not these resolutions?" calmly inquired Capt. White. "What public acts has Harrison done to make him worth such instructions to delegates from this convention? Has he said anything to congress for the working classes?" "Yes ! yes !" was shouted from all parts of the hall. Then the uproar was greater than ever, everybody wanting to be heard or taking partin crying tbe captain down. All tho office-holders from the assistant district attorney dawn to deputy C S. marshals were engaged in the racket. President Sayre recognized no point of order and let the captain have every opportunity to speak. Others asked for a respectful hearing for the gentleman from Fort Wayne, and the latter began again with "How has Harrison treated soldiers?" "Good! Good!" was the reply of the office-holders. Then Assistant District Attorney Cockrum, who in his republicanism is as violent as those in Clay township, Hamilton county, who outrage decency by keeping the American Hag in a school yard on a partisan pole.jumped at the captain viciously "I rise to a point of order," he ehonted. "This is a republican convention and not one for a man to spit out his personal spite or to make a democratic speech. It is no place for one to vent his spite on friends of the president and for him to do so is an insult to the republican party. Rx-Congress:nan Johnson, Frank Posey, ex-Senator Hubbell and Rhody Shiet marched to tho front with appeals to give the captain a recpectful hearing, but to no purpose. The convention would listen to nothing. Somebody moved the previous question and R. T. McDonald eaid with fiery emphasis that Allen county would submit. Do it, do it," he exclaimed. "Let the previous question be put,'' and then directly after that moved that the delegates be not instructed. This brought on another row and finally Posey got the convention out of its riotoua proceedings by calling attention to the fact that the resolutions had been read out ot place, aa the order of

business had been changed. Quietness was restored and the convention voted for the four delegates at large. Voting: fur Ilgatrn. After the Allen county delegates had been suppressed the balloting for delegates-at-large proceeded. Gowdy took the platform and withdrew his name. His support went to Cowgill, but Griffin was nominated. DePauw, Peelle and Gritiin were elected on the same ballot. The vote was as follows: Whole number cast, 1,057; necessary to a choice, 529; PePauw, 1.032; Peelle. 9W; Griffin, 731 ; Cowgill, 350; Gowdy, 4t. Auutlifr Uproar. Upon motion of Frank Dice of Montgomery the vote by which the resolutions were adopted was reconsidered in order to show on a roll call there was no opposition to Harrison outsida of Allen county. McDonald again moved to strike out the resolution instructing for Harrison, but President Sayro ruled hitn out of order under the Tom Reed rules. When Allen county was called McDonald responded: "Allen county declines to vote. We are not office-holders, and realize that we are out of place here." The vote stood yeas, 1,035; nay?, 0. Many speeches were made by delegates in answer to this roll call. A delegate from Clay was applauded for live minutes when he said: "As a miner of Clay county speaking for thousands of coal miners I desire to cast the whole vote of Clay in favor of instructing for Ben Harrison because he has always been the friend of the miner, and has done more for them than any other president." A few moments later the so-called miner went to tho reporters' table and said: "lam the superintendent of the Eureka mine in Clay county. My name is Welton, but be sure to write me up as a coal miner and a superintendent." Prof. Knox, the Bates house barber, was elected as Peeile's alternate to pacify the colored vote. J. H. McNeeley of Evansville, Calvin Cogswell of Wabash, and W. II. Elliott of New Castle were elected alternates lor the other delegates. It was 2 o'clock when the convention

adjourned. It was not largely attended. By actual count lato in the proceedings there were fifty-three persons in the gal leries, twentv-two on the staire and, with the exception of Allen, Marion and Vanderburgh, tho delegation were not fully represented. MRS. BLAINE, JR.. NEARLY DIES. It Takes the KiTorts of a Number of Doctors to Save Her. .nv lOKK, iuarcn w. lor seven hours Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., lay beween lite and death yesterday, ith three doctors gallantly fighting for her life," says a morning paper. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the old nurse attempted to arou.se Mrs. Blaine after dressing tho baby for his breakfast. Sirs. Blaine was in a comatose condition, her eyes closed and gasping for breath She was unconscious and evidently not far from dissolution. The nurse ran to Mrs. Nevin's room and screamed out: "Mary is dying." A doctor was speedily in attendance, and late in the afternoon he said: "If Mrs. Blaine had been left ten minutes longer without attention it would have been too late. As it was, it was the turning of vour hand whether she would live or die. Her stupor was as alarming as the heart failure. "Mrs. Blaine has, as vou know, a bad arm." The arm is almost disabled bv rheumatism. The onlv wav her life was saved was by the cruel but necessary forcible movement of her arm up and down. The pain caused kept her from falling entirely into the lethargy of death "The crisis was reached shortly before noon, and from that time her respiration has been stronger and her heart action more perceptible. She is gtill, however, in a verv dangerous condition and will be for twenty-four hours. We em ploved tho artificial administration of oxygen by means cf apparatus. "Several times' she was in what may bo called a dying condition. I think that there is no danger now, however; but she will require a long rest and careful attention." Iluir Tlir I.ikn Enrrcln1 !.

A Story of the Poor in Ireland AVho Are Shut Off on a. Lonely Isle in tho Atlantic The So-Called Justice of the Crown Tempered ivith 3Iercy The " Poor Fishermen with Neither lioats nor Nets A Tramp of Thirteen Miles Through a Storm. Loxnox. March 10. A story has reached here that has caused many expressions of deep indignation by the English papers. To the westward of County Mayo. Ireland, there lies in tho Atlantic a small patch of land known as Clare island. The inhabitants aro mostly fishermen and are miserably poor. A number of them ran into debt and theircreditors took legal proceedings acainst them and sent baililfs to seize the few cattle owned by the debtors to satisfy the claims against them. The islanders resisted the bailiffs, and as a result eighty of them were summoned to answer at Eouiuburgh, the nearest town on the mainland in County Mayo, for re sisting officers of the law. Tho eighty islanders ooevea the summons and pre sented themselves before the magistrate. They all appeared t" be in a starving con dition and their thin garments afforded them little protection from the inclement weather. Tho macistrate listened to the testimony of the bailiffs and then calmly ordered that further hearing of the case be held the next day at tho court house in Westport, thirteen miles distant. To reach Westport in time for the hearing it was necessary forthe island ers to start at night. They had no money to p-iy for conveyances find were compelled to walk the entire distance over a rond that is ner.e loo good m fine weather, That night a blinding snowstorm set in, The road runs alongside the ocean and the poor people stumb ing along in the darkness were exposed to the full fury of a stinging gale that swept inland from the sea. Many of the poorlv clad islanders. weakened by their long abstinence from nourishing food, fell bv the roadside, un able to proceed and would have perished had it not been for the kind-hearted vil lagers along the mute who, when they learned of their sufferings, went to their assistance and succored them with food and shelter. Of the women in the party not a single one had strength enough to drag her weary limbs to Westport. The men who reached the town at once proceeded to tho court house and pref-ented themselves before the magistrate there titting to hear the case. Many of tho islanders were almost completely exhausted by their journey, and all of them Mere famished and half frozen. When the magistrates learned that all persons summoned were not present they were incensed at what they were pleased to term disrespect for the law. They held forth at preat length upon the strong arm of the law and how all, rich and poor alike, were amenable to its provisions. Then they spoke of the great goodness of the crown, how it tempered justice with mercy, and after dwelling upon this subject to the painful edification of the shivering wretches before them, thev announced that es the defendants had pleaded guilty to the chanro against them the crown would extend it3 clemency to them. Tha court then ordered that the men be liberated upon giving bail for their good behavior. The dispatch does not state whether the bail demanded was furnished, but as tho islanders wero not known in Westport and as they have nothing of value of their own tho probabilities are that the bonds were cot famished. Many of the Clare islanders, though ostensibly fishermen, have neither boats nor nets to follow their vocation. All the male defendants in this case have been enabled duriug the winter to earn a little money by employment on relief works, the employment being given to them as a matter of charity.

IIj was shortly after this made postmaster' at New Salem, and afterward entered into commercial life on his ow n account, opening a small store, in which, enterprise he failed. His next employment was as assistant surveyor of Sangamon couaty under Mr. Calhorn, the Democratic incum'-ent, Lincoln himself bcinj a Whig. At the time of his appointment he had r.o practical and very littb theoretical knowledge of survey-J in- It had ail to le afterward acquired, but, nothing' daunted, he made the attempt, and, it is needless to say,' succce led. . In the meantime Lincoln had been diligently reading law. The first book he read on this subject was tho St:!.t!iS cf JnJiju:, lent hi:n bya friend named Turn-' ham.

Mr. Lincoln continued the practice cf law with great success, till 1S40, when he was elected to congress. While in congress he made for himself a name as a clear-headed man of business, and came orominentlv be
