Claude Matthews, democratic candidate for governor, was present and maie a speech in which he named Cleveland and Gray, causing great cbeeriog. Biel K.pnblican. tn Mnnele. Mcxcie. Ind., June 10. Special J The news of the renomination of Harrison at Minneapolis today was a pill too hard for the Blaine faction in Delaware county to swallow and one leading republican attorney this evening informed your correspoudent that he would bet all his money, property and clothing that Ben would lose Indiana by 20,000. Another republican lawyer placed the democratic majority in Indiana at 30.000. The tin horns anvils and cheers for Harrison have caused many leading republicans to peek their ouiet chamber at an early hour tonight disgusted with the situation. Ben's office-holders in old Delaware have a big undertaking before the November election. Xiarriaon'a Nomination Coldly Rece'vad. Anderson, Ind., June IL Special. While this has been reputed to be a strong Harrison community, yet when tbe news came that Harrison was nominated but little enthusiasm was manifested. Many of the long-headed republicans regard the selection of Harrison under the fierce and bitter fight made against him by the leaders of the party all over the country as fatal to success. They hoped that neither Blaine nor Harrison would be nominated, but of tbo two many thought Blaine would be the stronger man. taking the country over. Today prominent republicans assert Harrison will be beaten in Indiana by 10,000 votee. There has been as yet no effort made to ratify Ben's nomination. A Tory Silm ACTOr, Seymour, June 12. Special. A sickly attempt was made to ratify Harrison's nomination here last night. The entire day was spent in trying to get out the workers of the party, which wae a dismal failure. The procession was composed entirely of "kids" following Constable White on horseback. Mot another man was in the mix. A prominent republican and a consistent Blaine man and his wife were lookers-on and when the procession passed he remarked, "This is the most signal failure that ever took place in Seymour, and when the result of the November election is learned Ben Harrison will know just what is thought of him and his oclce-holders in Jackson county."

Soecial A rousing democratic county convention was held at this place today, which resulted in the nomination of the following ticket: For sheriff, O. F. McCoy; coroner. Dr. J. J. Thomas; treasurer, William Buehrle; recorder, Col. McKinsey; couuty assessor, Charles O'Rourke ; surveyor, Joseph W. Cox ; commissioners, N. M. Ililand and Frederick Maibauer. Permanent Chairman H. A. Steia made a ringing address, which deservedly aroused the democratic enthusiasm and started the work in a friend'y epirit, which continued to the close. The ticket is an exceptionally strong one and will undoubtedly be elected with an old-time democratic majority. Ratifying at Nebeker'e Home. Covixgtox, Ind., June 11. Special. The republicans of this city, the home of U. S. Treasurer Xebeker, had a ratification meeting tonight on the public square. An immense bonfiro lighted up the streets, the city band played and anvils were fired. Speeches were made by the Hon. is. F. Wood, O. P. Lewis, Fred Boord, candidate for joint-senator, and others, all lauding Harrison, but touching very lightly upon the wrangle at Minneapolis. The republicans of this county will nearly all support Harrison, but the state pride argument will not cut the figure this fall that it did four years ago. People's Party Maas Meeting. LooAxepoRT.Ind., June 11. Special. The people's party held a mass meeting here today. W. W. Jones of Illinois delivered a speech of three hours this afternoon.

A email crowd surrounded the bulletin boards here this afternoon, and the result was received without any manifestations of enthusiasm. eBlaine has devloped considerable strength and he seems to be the choice of a majority of Bartholomew county republicans, many of whom say they will cot vote for Harrison. This is in marked contrast to the reception of Harrison's nomination four years ago. Not a Flr-eruek er for Ban. Martinsville, Ind., June 11. Special. The nomination of Harrison seemed to have a very chilling effect on the republicans here. Not so much as a firecracker has been heard thus far in commemoration of the event. A majority of therepublicans were in favor of McKinley after the wrangle developed between Blaine and Harrison adherents. Khody Shiel comes in for his share of reproach. The democrats are correspondingly jubilant over the prospects as the republicans are despondent. Would 'ot Work. Colcmbcs, Ind., Jane 11. Special. A eickly attempt to ratify Harrison's nomination was made here, but the result was a tnoet dismal failure. An enthusiastic young republican started out as soon as the result was known to get up a fund. He worked diligently for an hour to raise a donation and succeeded after getting the most out of hia own pocket. Prominent Blaine men looked on with disgust. Harrison's nomination falls like an ice-cold shower bath on the g. o. p. here. Preparation far tba Republican Convention Fort Wayne, June 12.
