THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 2. 1894 TWELVE PAGES.

only Involves the life of the nation, but the vastest and mos; Important Interests. The democratic party has demonstrate! ut one thin In lta history, ami th-t is Its utter Incapacity to manage the affairs of the nation. They struggle like a blind man In the dark an! are unable to tell, when the sun sets at nurht, upon what it (nay rise In the morning. They are our countrymen Mood of our blood. They have the same interests that we have, and It Is surprising, marvelously surprWn;. that. In so short a time, they have done bo much mischief. If an intelligent strsnper from abroad should have visited this country a few years ago. during the honorable administration of one fellow-citizen whom I see here (looking toward ex-President Harrison), he would have noticed everywhere vidences of prosperity -with a full and reie-med treasury with the utter tmposBibillty of a deficiency. Ail kinds of Industry anil trade were cared for and fostere by the government. And yet. if the same straner should visit the country now, he would find a reverre of all these trade and Industry embarrassed, commerce deetroyed. Thev were never fully in sympathy with the best interests of the government; anJ yet these men are bone of iour bone and blood of our blood, and have a common interest in the Inheritance from (our fathers. Instead of engaging in an in(tedligent management of the government jand attempting to protect the revenues of (th nation they are simply quarreling over 'whether this man or that shall be postrr.as'ter or collector of revenue, or who shall Oiave this or that consulate. Seem to Be Diseased. They seem to be diseased. Instead of Slaving life, like the republican rarty. they 'are sick. The only trouble I have is In de'clding In my own mind what disease Is afflicting them. I think It must be dyspepsia, for the reason that they can't digest a common revenue proposition after l'X years of experience. After a hundred years of history to guile them they are s;in quarrying a bom whether they shall 'retain the aJva.it.ices gained or turn them over to the lniere.-ts of foreign Kovernments. Thy are ohiliren only they canHot count themselves. Had it not been for Tom Reed they never would have been a.bl to make the cunt. What are they doins now? They told us a year or two ao that a protective tariff wa3 unconstitutional. What is a protective tariff? It means nothing more than an American tariff. It means to take care of, foster and protect our own trade, industry, labor and commerce so that on the high seas we shall be recognized not only as the eo,'ial but as the foremost of all Kations. They say this is unconstitutional and try to demonstrate that It is a fact by various methods. The tjuestlnn is not a new one at all. It i3 older than I am. and I am not a boy. (Applause.) I can remember far enough back when the question 'n 'he same shape and form in which it is presented today agitated the country from center to circumference. One state, supposing its interests paramount to those of the whoie country, resolved that the tariff was unconstitutional and prepared to resist the BMhority of the national government. It employed in the affirmation the Fame arguments now employed by the democratic party. If you want to find the substance of every democratic fpeeech let me tell you where to find it. Look back to lf&l. You will tind the state of South Carolina resolving to nullify laws because of a protective tariff. In th? resolutions and preamble you will find every democratic argument up to date. Not precisely the same words; not enlarged upon as now In the speeches, but the same in substance. Reference to Jarknon, Now, it happened we had a man in the president's chair whose name was Jackson. I like to think of the old man. I have seen him many a time and remember him well. He was innoculated with irresistible ideas learned from 'Washington and all the men who followed him in the early days of the nation. He drew his uword and mounted his war charger and fcwore by the eternal that such things could not be, and put down the nullification. There is no Jackson now. but the principles of Jackson are sown deeply and their power is lodged in our hand.-? and it la for us to say whether the principles FhUl continue or not. It is my notion and belief that there is no doubt at all that In the controversy the republican party will stand upon the side of the government and adhere closely to the principles of our fathers. These men are Incompetent to conduct the affairs of the government. I hesitated to come to this convention, but was compelled to submit to the force cf habit. I doubted the propriety of undergoing the excitement which I would meet here, but when I remembered that It was just sixty years ago since I attended the Hr3t convention of this kind held in Indianapolis I found it impossible, notwithPtandng the remo-: 'trances of my family, to stay away. I r. ive nothing to do with the Piloting today, but am present merely to advise and counsel with republicans and t- make one long pull, one strong pull, one pull altogether, to redeem the country from the mismanagement it is now suf-

fering under. V will do so. There is no doubt of it There is only one question. We will be surprised to see so many democratic voters silently and secretly cast votes for our ticket. One word more, I want to express the hope that in the grand contest in the Tature you will adhere to the right. May Ood give you strength to do right. May 21a provide so that the pillars, planted .deeply in American soil, shall never be Visturbed again. IIARUISOVS SPEECH. tTIie Ex-President Is Given a Itonslnf? Reception. Just as the applause over the speech tt the venerable gentleman of Terre Haute subsided ex-PresLdent Harrison appeared at the rear of the platform. In an instant the entire convention was on Its feet and the very rafters of the building trembled aguin and again with the wild yell that went up from 5.000 throats. Flags and banners -were torn from their fastenings and waved madly in the air. The fair sex in the corner of the east gallery became Imbued with the contatg1ou3 enthusiasm and hundreds of immaculate hankerchlefs fluttered everywhere. One stylishly dressed young lady became so enthusiastic that she essayed to emulate the actions of the erner sex and send her headerear on a. "rkyward Journey. She was restrained 'from doing so with great difficulty by le enthusiastic friend. The demonstration that greeted the appearance of the little ex-presMent lasted for 5everal minutes, quiet only being restored when Chairman Thompson turned and. with a Wave of his hand. Invited the cause of all this noise to the front. When Mr. Harrison stepped to the edge of the platform and gazed over the eea of faces a decided improvement was noticeable In his appearance. There was a. ruddy glow on his usually pallid face. Indicating that his recent trip to the salubrious climate of California had proved beneficial. Ills voice was very clear and his enunciation quite distinct. It was plain to be seen that he was addressing a HarrfAon gathering. His epeech was listened to throughout with rapt attention, and he was frequently Interrupted by prolonged applause, the demonstration b-ing most pronounced when he gave the convention to underetand that he would be at the party's service during the coming campaign. His reference to the "infamous gerrymander" was also, received with tumultuous applause. The ex-president said: Mr. Harrison's Speech. , Mr, President My venerable and honred friend, I congratulate you. I congratulate the republicans' of Indian- that you are permitted again, on this hopeful day. to preside over a gathering of the republicans of this great state. (Applause.) You have battled for the principles of the party for fnany years; you have been the able, da.untlss champion of those gfeat principles which culled th party into existence, -ad wfcica have won Xr it &j oCLea and

through a series of suci. brilliant years of almlnistratlon the confidence of the people of the United States. (Applause.) As you have been faithful to the party in the hours of weakness an darkness, we are glad that you are here this morning, when the country is awakenej to the fact that a restoration of republican principles in administration is essential to the prosperity and happiness of the peopl. (Great applause j To, you. my friends. I come this moving with an acknowledgment of my grateful obligations for those underservei" ani accumulate! favors which you have heaped upon me. I will not undertake it would be Inappropriate any full discussion of republican principles. I will not stand between you and the Important work which you have assembled to do and which you are eager to be about. At some time during the campaign which so auspiciously opens today if it be the pleasure of my fe'.lowcitizens I shall ho'.J myself at their service for a fuller discus.sion. (Great cheering.) I can not allow, as I have said before, that an ex-President has lost his citizenship (laughter and applause); nor cun I admit that a calm and , temperate discussionof great public questions is undignified In any- man. (Applause.) We have had. beginning with those years when, as champion of the whig principles, you (turning to Col. Thompson) spoke to your fellow-citizens of Indiana, down to the last national campaign a continuous debate upon the question of the tar! ft'. The people hive now accepted one view of the question, and now. turning, have adopted the other. (Applause.) Kven your silvery eloquence, sir. was hardly equal to stirring great inivrest In the question. Our people became so prosperous, so rich, labor was so universally employed at pood wages, that men ceased to appreciate the danger and the disaster that was Involved In an abandonment of the protection principle. (Applause.) No orator was eiual to the task of maintaining their Interest. But events have stirred tht intre?t to the profoundest depths of our society. (Applause.) What the orator and the pamphleteer could not do. a hitter experience has intruded itself into every home. and Into many brought starvation, has done and is doing today. Our friends may en-ieavor to persuade the American people that this period of depression is only on of periodic panics that they sty at intervals, more or less certain, necessarily fall up-n us. Some may endeavor to persuade you that Ih influences that have brought it about were climitic or seismic. But I believe I do not state it too strongly when I say that the common mind the c!ose observation of those who are educated and instructed by facts rather than given to refined theories has settled upon the cause of this present financial depression. They find that cause in the attempt to wipe out protection ltrislaticn and to substitute for it doctrines of a revenue tariff. They find it in that uncertainty which has intruded itself Into every man's business enterprises, which has paralyzed his energy and which has compelled the wheels to stop while this great Issue was being concluded. The American workman is realizing today that it is not possible for him to separate himself in interests from the manufacturer who employs him; that he cannot, listening to the wild and vicious appeals which have been made to him, strike at the men who give employment to labor without bringing the blow lack to recoil upon himself and upon his family. (Applause.) The times are full of unrest, disaster and apprehension. 1 believe today that all the tumult of this sea would )o stilled as by a voice of omnipotence if the great industrial and commercial classes of the country could know today that there would be no attempt to strike down protection in American legislation. (Applause.) The republican party is friendly to a restoration of silver to a place of honor among the money metals of the worid. (Applause.) Some of my friends In the West thought I was uttering new doctrine when I declared that I believed the free use of silver, upon an international pgreement that wouli assure its continued equality with told, would do more than anything I knew of save the establishment of the protection principle, to brin again prosperity into our commerce. (Applause.) The trouble upn this question has been that some of our western friends would not receive any man as the frien i of silver who believe! that we could only coin it freely anl maintain its parity with gold by coming into an arrangement wi'h the other great commercial nations of the worid. They should have been more liberal. I believe today that we can see in England the nation that has stood against the larger use of silver; in Germnnv, a nation that has followed England the'clear indication of the growth of a sentiment for an International agreement upon this question is increasing in power; ani I believe if rightly and wisely encouraged and directed from America It will finally bring other nations by the compulsion of their own necessities into accord with us upon this subject. (Aplause. My republican friends, I congratulate you upon the hopeful and auspicious incidents that surround your meeting today. We enter upon this campaign with better heart and higher courage than upon any for many years. So great is the confidence that I hear expressed that I would drop a word of caution; for there is danger In overconfidence. I beg to say to you that, in my opinion, as a citizen, having absolutely no interests except those that you have, that every one of you here and all those whom you represent have never had the opportunity in their lives to serve their country more eriieently than by devoting themselves industriously from now until November to the support of that ticket which will here be nominated. (Applause.) We have state matters which should be set right the equality of men at the ballot box. The abolition of all legislation that tends to enhance the power of one man by abstracting from the Just power of another must be re-established. We have fought this question of unequal, iniquitous legislative apportionments for years, and we are today throttled by a gerrymander that must be overturned. (Applause.) For years we have contended that a pure, clean, non-partissin civil service should be Introduced Into the management of our benevolent and penal Institutions. (Applause.) Citizens of Indiana, nail that motto to vour flag-staff, and appeal to the good people, the aecent people of Indiana, to maintain and establish It. (Applause.) But now your kindness nas betrayed me Into further speech than I had contemplated. There is here today active competition for office. That is wholesome; not to be deprecated. Every man, I have always contended, had a right honorably to seek office, and that a president had no right to complain that his time was somewhat occupied in attending to them. (Laughter and applause.) But there is one condition that goes with all this that must not be forgotten. When a man has honorably, earnestly, by appeal to his friends or to the appointing rower, sought a nomination and tailed, he is altogether to be reprobated if he carries his grievance home with him and distracts the party. (Applause.) So in advance I appeal to this large body of excellent friends who are to be disappointed today to put themselves at the front in cheering for their more fortunate competitors. I thank you. gentlemen, for you kindwelcome. I hope you may succeed today in announcing a platform that will win the approbation, that will satisfy the intelligence and the conscience of our people, and that you may nominate a ticket worthily representative of the great principles that you will declare. (Applause.)

THE I'LATFOnJI. It Studiously Avoids the A. P. A. nnd Civil Service. At the conclusion of Harrison's speech the reiort of the committee on credentials was read. As was generally expected, the Metzger-Hammer delegates got the worst of it in the Tenth ward contest, the crowd on Mose McEaln's slate being seated through the influence of Merrill Moores, chairman of the county committee. The report of the committee was adopted without opposition, and that of the committee on resolutions called for. It will be seen that not a single one of the three questions that, promised to cause a monkey-and-parrot time In the convention are touched upon. viz.. the A. P. A., liquor trafllc and civil service. The resolutions were read by the chairman of the committee, ex-Senator Huhbell of Elkhart. The platform is as follows: The Platform. We, the republicans of Indiana, in delegate convention assembled, reaffirm our faith In the progressive principles of the republican party. We believe its policies, past and present, beat calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of the people. The aim in 1st rat ion of President Harrison and the congressional legislation of that period were wise, pure and patriotic, and we point to the marked contrast between the home and foreign policies of that administration and the present travesty on government inflicted upon the American people. We believe in the republican doctrine of protection and reciprocity, which furnUhes a home market for the products of our factories and our farms and protects the American laborer against the competition ; of the pauper labor of Europe. We de nounce cne unwise ana upartiotie action or the democratic party in attempting to eliminate the reciprocity principle from our tar.ff sytem. thereby cloning a large foreign market to the? products of American farms and depressing agricultural Interests. We denounce the present attempt of a democratic congress to overthrow and , "destroy the American industrial sy3tem.

a course that, with the general fear of a violent readjustment . of the country's business to a free trade basis, has Increased the national debt, has plunged the country into the most disastrous business depression of its history, has closed large numbers of banns and factories throughout the country, has thrown an unprecedented number of American citizens out of employment, "has compelled thousands of ablebodied and industrious men to humiliate themselves by asking for charity and has filled our broad land with free soup houses and food markets. We believe in a currency composed of gold, silver and paper, reaiily convertible at a fixed standard of value and entirely under the national control; and we favor the Imposition of increased tariff duties upon the Imports from all foreiam countries which oppose the coinage of silver up;n a basis to be determined by an international congress for such purpose. We denounce the avowei purpose of the democratic party to restore the era of "wild-cat" money. We believe In a liberal construction of our pension laws, and we condemn the unjust policy of the present administration in depriving ex-soloiiers of their pensions

j without a hearing, a policy intended to B 1 1 NJAMI N II A R R I SO NT. cist oiium upon loyalty and patriotism. We believe it to be the duty of the state, as well as the nation, to make suitable provision for the care and maintenance of all indigent soldiers, their wives and widows; we. therefore, favor the establishment by the state of a suitable soldiers' home for the reception of such soldiers, their wives and widows, as may be overtaken by adversity. We demand a tigid enforcement of all existing immigration laws by the national government, and demand such further legislation as will protect our people and Institutions against the influx of the criminal and vicious classes. We denounce the unpatriotic action of the Cleveland administration in hauling down the American flag at Hawaii, and condemn the arrogant assumption of power displayed in the effort to restore a tyrannical queen over a free people who had thrown off the yoke of desp.-ttim. We condemn the outrageous bargain and sale of federal patronage by the Cleveland a iministration in its unblushing efforts to usurp the prerogatives of the legislative branch of the government, to enforce favorite measure.? through congress and compel the contirmation of presidential appointments by the senate. We condemn the reckless and extravagant administration of the finanactal affairs of this state, whereby the people are subjected to unjust and unnecessary burdens of taxation, by an increased assessment of property and an Increased rate of taxation and by a multiplication of offices to be supported by the taxpayers of the state. We belive that the benevolent, educational and correctional institutions of the state should be placed under non-partisan control. We believe in such legislation, state and national, as will protect the lives and limbs of employes of railroads, mines and factories. We condemn the policy steadily pursued hy the democratic legislature of Indiana, in so gerrymandering the state as to deny the people a fair representation of their views in the state legislature and national congress, thus imperiling the functions of our institutions. As soon as he had finished reading the resolution Mr. Hubhell moved the previous question in order to shut oft debate, although there was little prospect of any speech-making on the glittering generalities embodied in the resolutions. The motion carried, however, and the resolutions were adopted. SKCUKTAHV OK STATE. William I). Otven Is .Nominated on the Fourth llnilot. Immediately after the platform had been disposed of Chairman Thompson announced that the balloting for secretary of state would begin. He then turned the gavel over to "Warren G. Say re of Wabash and retired to the rear of the platform. Secretary Wilson then read the nam"s of the candidates, who were as follo-.vs: Aaron Jones, St. Jo-eph; W. I). Owen, Cass; J. E. Watson, Rush; M. R. Sulzer, Jefferson; Jasper Packard, Floyd. With live candidates in the ring, the majority of them coming into the convention with chances about equal so far as anybody knew, there was of course no expectation of a nomination on the first ballot, but the manner in which those counties having no candidates split up their vote was somewhat surprising. Of course the counties of Jefferson, St. Joseph, Rush and Cass gave their solid vote to their respective candidates. It became apparent long before the ballot was completed that neither Sulzer nor Jones would show up as strong as their supporters had anticipated. The friends of Owen were very agreeably surprised with the way he ran. and Watson's vote fooled some of them considerably, he having been considered in some quarters a rather "weak brother." The river counties pretty generally divided their vote between Packard and Sulzer. The latter took his stand near the banner of the Lawrence county delegation when the balloting began and nervously chewed a toothpick while he kept tab on the vote. The convention awaited the announcement of the vote of the Marion county delegation with considerable anxiety. The liiO, however, seemed to be very much at sea, and were in fact, wondering where they were "at." Dr. Pettljohn of the Fifth, who never allows anybody to "loose him" in a convention bobbed up when the county was called and demanded that the vote be taken by wards. He quickly disappeared from view, however, nmld a perfect hurricane of "noes:" "sit down!" "crawl in your hole," and sundry other expressions. The vote was then announced by (Jen. Foster, chairman of the delegation. It was badly split, although Sulzer and Watson divided 69 of the 130. the former receiving 33 and the latter 35. The result of the ballot, amid some confusion, was announced as follows: Owen 417 4-5 Watson 331 4-5 Jones "62 4-5 Sulscr 320 4-5 Packard 211 4-5 The number of votes necessary to a choice being S.'S the chairman announced no nomination and ordered another ballot. .Second llnilot. The vote on the second ballot for secretary ,of state was almost as that on the first ballot. It showed a loss for Sulzer of 23 3-5; a gain for Jones of 27 3-5; a loss for Packard of 53 3-5; a gain for "Watson of 13 4-5; a gain for Owen of 51 4-5. Owing to the small digressions from the vote on first ballot very little enthusiasm was engendered during this ballot. The vote as announced by the secretary was as follows: Owen 403 1-3 Watson 4l." 1-5 Jones 3X9 1-5 Sulzfr 2S71-6 Packard 158 1-3 No candidate having received a sufficient number of votes to secure a nomination the chairman announced the call of counties for a third ballot. Third llnilot. The chairman had great difllculty in pecurin order for the beginning of the call of the third ballot. It started off with the same vote of Adams county as caet on the firse and second ballots. It was apparent th.it Owen and "Watson were securing the gains, and that Suleer was falling behind. Marion county gave Owen sixty-nine and Watson forty-olght votes, and the original vote of twenty-three for Sulzer was cast

iff

down to four. The final result showed Owen a gainer over the second ballot by 101 votes; Watson pained seventy-nine votes; Jones lost thirty; Sulzer lost eighty-seven; Packard lost sixty-seven. The vote was officially announced as follows: Owen 570 1-5 Watson 41". Jones i..t 359 1-5 Sulzer , 200 1-5 Packard 91 1-5 FonMh Hallot. After the announcement that there was no nomination Mr. Sulzer went forward and, addressing the chair, said: "I am duly grateful for the generous and faithful support given . me by my numerous friends. I recognize that they have faithfully and honestly guarded my interests from the start and believe they would continue to do so until the finish, but realizing that as I was handicapped In the race from the start by the fact that there was another candidate from the same district a rute in politics now makes it impossible for me to be successful. I do not desire to hamper or Interfere with my friends In the free exercise of their judgment in any way. I therefore withdraw from the race and give my friends, who have thus far been so loyal, the privilege to vote in any way they see fit, and I will say success to this convention and to the nominee, whoever he may be." The remarks were received with cheers. The balloting commenced again with the 200 votes cast for Sulzer to be thrown to the other candidates. After Hamilton county had been called Aaron Jones rose in the rear of the hall and amid the sound of the gavel and the repeated calls of Acting Chairman Warren Sayre for order, declared that he wished to withdraw as a candidate for the nomination. Tenth and Thirteenth district delegates immediately surrounded Jones, and it looked for a moment as If bedlam had been turned loose. When a semblance of order had been restored the chairman announced that the action of Mr. Jones was out of order, but the withdrawal had been made and the voting thereafter was for Owen. Watson and Packard. The latter received but light support in only seven counties outside of his own and on a count It was found he had but sixty votes. The ballot resulted as follows: Jones 69 Owen Watson . f.S0U Packard 60 But 1,703 votes were cast and 85.1 were necessary for a choice. When the result was announced and It was known that Owen was nominated excitement ran high. Rhody Shiel leaped with one bound over the heads of the newspaper men on to the stage and grasped the hand of Mrs. Owen who, overcome by the excitement, sat weeping, supported by that indefatigable lady politician. Mrs. John W. Lovett. The name of Owen was called loudly, but as it was contrary to a rule of the convention for candidates to make speeches that gentleman did not respond. W. D. Owen of I.ogansport is an old war-horse in republican politics and is equally prominent as a Cambellite minister. He has served three terms in congress as the representative of . the Tenth Indiana district. He was commissioner of emigration under President Harrison and is a great admirer and stanch supporter of the ex-president. He was the choice of the republican state central committee as the nominee for secretary of state. His nomination was made unanimous upon motion of Mr. Watson, seconded by Mr. Packard. AVDITOK OF STATE.

After n Prolonged Untile A. C. Daily CielM the .omiiwi t Ion. The convention was called to order promptly at 10 o'clock and yet it was 1:45 before a nominee for secretary of state had been secured and the names of candidates for the nomination of auditor were announced.-rThey were: Webster S. Richey of Muncie, John W. Coons of Indianapolis. A. C. Daily of Lebanon, W. AV. Hauck of Terre Haute, W. II. Liggett of Columbia City and C. W. Wilson of Ft. Wayne. The first ballot resulted as follows: Richey '. 241 Coons 370 Daily 4 ." Hauck 362 Liggett 11 Wilson 31 S Marlon county gave the following vote: Richey. 14; Coons, 75; Daily, 17; Hauck. 13; Wilson, 11. There being a full vote cast and no one having received a majority It was declared "no nomination" and the secretary was instructed to call the roll for a second ballot. Second Unllot. The second ballot started out with little change in the vote. Daily made some gains. In Marion county he gained nine and Coons lost ten voles. Wilson gained four, which were Kichey's loss. The official count showed that Dally and Hauck had gained, whil? the other candidates had lo3t. Liggett received no votes. The vote was as follows: Richey 202 Coons 333 Dailv 40-t Hauck 3S9 Wilson 297 Third llaltot. A third ballot was begun a-r.'.d much confusion. The delegates had now been in their seats from five to six hours and were becoming restless and uneasy, and it was with great difficulty that order was maintained bo that it waft possible to hear the vote as it was called by the stentorian voice of Charley Tariton. The vote was begun, however, and showed only slight changes from the former ballot. Spectators in the galleries also contributed to the confusion by leaving the hall in large numbers. They had come to the conclusion that the convention would last for two or three days, and reall7.1ng that the same food for thought would be served for hours and feeling that they were no: missing much, had stampeded. Their going and coming became periodical with the beginning of a call for a ballot. After the call of Johnson county, W. L. Dunlap rose and, in spite of the efforts of the chairman to down him, vlthdrev 'ho .ame of John W. Coons. This action threjv the convention into convulsions and filled the aisles with raving, howlinj? mob. who pushed and shoved each other about and yelled all the while at the top of their lung power. Rhody Shiel again distinguished himself at this time. Mr. Dunlap had first spoken from the rear of the hall and. fearing that some of the delegates might not have heard the withdrawal of the name of Coons, he again mounted a chair, this time in the neighborhood of the Marion county delegation, and attempted to speak. Rhody made a' dive for him. with what intent no one knows, and was only restrained by the efforts of a dozen delegates. It was at this time that pandemonium and the Daily people reigned supreme and almost succeeded in stampeding the convention. With much difficulty and many boisterous interruptions .the- balloting was continued and the third ballot was finally announced as follows: Richey 194 Coons 66 Dally ; 693 Hauck 550 Wilson 210 Fourth nnllot. In the interim between ballots Mr. Wilson withdrew from the race. With Coons withdrawn during the previous ballot and with Liggett dropped for want of support, there were but three candidates. They were Richey, Dally and Hauck. Allen county, which had continued solid for Wilsen up to this time, now cast its thirty-seven votes for Hauck. Jefferson county also voted solidly for Hauck, as did Knox. Madison

gave her thirty-six votes t,o Daily. Marion county gave H?uck ninety. Daily thirty-five and Richey five. A large number of counties voted solidly on this ballot, the result of which was as follows: Daily g7SU Hauck 726V3 Richry 109 Wilson 1 Mr. Hauck moved that the nomination of Mr. Daily be made unanimous. The motion was seconded by Mr. Richey and earned with a whoop. TREASIRER OF STATE.

F J. Sehol Captures the nmlnallnn on First Rnllot. The following were announced as. candidates for treasurer: F. J. Scholz, Vanderburg; Leonard Wild, Hamilton, and Leopold Levy, Huntington. When Scholz's friends made the boast that he would go into the convention a sure winner tbey were not in error in their reckoning. He had his forces well in hand and captured the full vote of county after county as the roll proceeded. Marion gave him 77, against 44 for Levy and 12 for Wild. During the taking of the ballot one of Levy's supporters and a Scholz delegate became involved in an altercation in the rear of the hall that came near resulting in blows. The Scholz delegate called Levy an uncomplimentary name which the latter's admirer resented. They were separated by mutual frlendä with groat difficulty. Scholz was nominated on the first ballot, the result being as follows: Scholz ?;;.- j3 Wild 3C41-3 Levy 303 1-3 ATTOR EV-fi nF.RAL. AV, A. Krlrlmm Nnnilnnlril After h Hotteat Fight of the Dny. The candidates for attorney-general were announced as follows: Robert J. Loveland of Peru. John w! Lovett of Anderson. Wiliiam M. Taylor of Indianapolis, Thomas Uanna of Indianapolis and W. A. Kettham of Indianapolis. Everything went lovely until Marion county was reached. Gen. Foster, who acted as spokesman, announced th vote as follows: Lovett. 2; Hanna, 7; Ketcham. 56; Taylor. 66. The vote was challenged bv John B. Cockrum. who explained that Rrightwood had voted one vote more than it was entitled to. Ross Hawkins called a point of order which he failed, however, to explain, and then Mr. Cockrum withdrew his challenge. This left Assistant Chairman Sayre in a predicament. He ordered the roll-call to continue, but was informed that the vote would have to be corrected. He was about to have the p-mes of the delegates called when Mr. Taylor came to the rescue by having one vote taken from him. This was a foxey move for popularity on the part of "Little Willie," and had a good effect. He received a "big hand" and the roll-call went on. The vote was as follows: Loveland 374 Lovett 336 Taylor 476 Hanna 162 Ketcham 367 Second for Attorney-Genernl. When the call of the roll on the second Ivillot had been completed a Vanderhi'.rff delegate, who had the air of a hungry and weary man. climbed upon a chair and moved an adjournment of the convention until 8 o'clock. It was then 6. His motinon was received wdth catcalls and shouts of derision, and when finally put to a vole was defeated by a perfect storm of "noes." The result of th? ballot showed that only two people were in the race to any extent, and they were W. A. Ketcham and "Billy" Taylor. The total vote was as follows: Ketcham 5171..! Tayl.-r 512; Loveland 347 Lovett 304 Hanna 34 The adherents of Taylor and Ketcham fairly went wild over the announcement of the vote, and so great was the confusion that the speech of ex-Governor Hanna, withdrawing from the race, could not be hoard. Third for Atlnrnej-Grnrmi. When Marion county was reached on the call of vhe roll Chairman Foster announced the vote of the delegation, as follows: Taylor, 59; Ketcham, 6S, and Lovett, 3. At -.his the irrepressible Al Moore of the Eleventh ward sprang to his fet and in an angry voice challenged the vote. The Ketcham men attempted to howl him down, chalming that he was not a delegate, which he proved was false. The call of the names of tho delegates then began and the Taylor men sent up an awful yell when somebody cast the vote of Charles Brown for Ketcham. Brown was not in the hall and had no alternate. Therefore the vote was not counted. John Cockrum, with a flushed and angry face, was on the floor almost constantly protesting against the manner in which the roll was called. On several occasions he was roundly hissed. He demanded that the name of Martin Hugg, which had been passed, be called, but Merrill Moores, who occupied a place on the press stand and was engaged in prompting Hiram Brownlee, then in the chair, instructed the latter to pay no attention whatever to Cockrum. and he didn't. As the roll progressed the confusion became greater, and for a time the entire Marlon county delegation was on its feet. Delegates from other parts of the hall began to crowd about the belligerants and the convention soon resolved Itself into a howling mob. One delegate from the Fourteenth ward rushed at a Third ward delegate as if to annihilate him because the la,tter protested against his voting for two absentees in the Second ward. For the next ten minutes the floor of the convention hall was a scene of chaos. Hiram Brownl?e completely lost his head and the delegates left their seats and packed the aisles. The sergeant-at-arms and his fifty able assistants made a feeble attempt to do something, but their efforts were futile. Order was only restored when the convention had howled itself hoarse. Then the Ketcham delegates tried to squelch Cockrum, but he "fooled "em," never failing to make the fact known that he was there to guard the interests of "Willie Bill" Taylor. The vote of the county was corrected and announced as follows, the absent delegates not being voted: Lovett, 3; Taylor, 55; Ketcham, 58. Order was restored once more and the vote continued. Ketcham was nominated by a majority of eight votes. When the fact became known tre enthusiasm ran high. This had been tne hottest contest of the convention and the Indianapolis delegates had been specially active, as the fight had been all along in Marion county. The' official count showed that 1.701 votes had been cast, of which S51 were necessary for a choice. The official vote was as follows: Ketcham 859 Taylor 413 Loveland 2l Lovett 16$ Upon motion of Mr. Lovett, seconded by the other defeated candidates, the usual courtesy of making the nomination unanimous was extended Ketcham. to Mr. St i'UEME COrilT RKPORTKn. A Lontc Strncarle Alexander He Nomlnnted on the Sixth. The contest for clerk of the supreme court was opened by the withdrawal of George W. Harvey of Indianapolis. He realized Chat after the nomination of Mr. Ketcham as the candidate for attorneygeneral his chance for nomination, was exceedingly slim, and not wishing to test the loyalty of his county, which could not now help feeling that a vote, for

Harve' was a vote thrown away, he gracefully withdrew his name from before the convention, or, to be more exact, he did not allow it to come before the convention, as the names of the candidates had not yet been read by the secretary. The following names went before the convention: Robert A. Brown of Franklin, W. R. McClelland of Danville. O. M. Tichenor of Princeton. II. B. Tuthill of Michigan City, Oliver P. Enslev of Auburn, Alex Hess of Wabash. R. A. Black of Greenfield. The first ballot was close, the vote being distributed among so many candidates. The result was a follows: Brown 233 McClelland 132 Tichenor 259 Tuthill 239 Ensley 261 Hess 273 Black 213 Harvey 7 Second for Clerk. The second ballot for clerk of the supreme court was taken without any unusual occurren?e. There was much delay occasioned by the senseless Idea of degates that they must yell louder than other delegates when a favorite candidate received a large vote. Hendricks county deserted its candidate on this ballot and went for Brown and Ensley. The vote was as follows: Brown 225 McClelland 42 Tichenor 28 Tuthill 272 Ensley 297 Hess 372 Black 43 Harvey 2 Third nallot. The third ballot resulted as follows: Brown 2S3 McClelland 4 Tichenor 27 Tuthill 270 Ensley 193 Hess 4.V Black : 233 Fourth Rallot. The convention was In a state of turmoil after the announcement of the third ballot and electioneering was in order on all sides. There was a long wait after the result had been announced a wait in w hich it was hoped some of the weaker candidate would withdraw and throw their strength where It would do scme good, but the hope was never realized, even the candidate who received but four votes hanging on to a forlorn hope. The fourth ballot was therefore taken and resulted as fcdlows: Brown CI9 Tichenor 254 Tuthill 2:2 Ensley 173 Hess 543 Black S Fifth llnilot. Just before the call of the roll on the fifth ballot began the names of Ensley and Tichenor were withdrawn. While this ballot was in progress the confusion became so great that the chairman called the attention of the convention to the fact that it had been in continuous session for thirteen hours it being then 11 o'clock), and that unless better order was preserved daylight would find it still plodding along. The ballot resulted as follows: Brown 637 Hess 7S4 Tuthill 257 Black 37 Sixth for Clerk. Before the sixth ballot was called the chairman secured comparative quiet for a short time by calling the attention of delegates to the fact that it was past 11 o'clock and unless the work of the convention should not be obstructed by the unnecessary confusion occasioned by the promenading of. delegates in the aisles and the vocal demonstrations of enthusiasts the convention would be in session until daylight. The fifth ballot showed that Mr. Tuthill held the balance of power, and the tenacity of his friends in sticking to him might have caused the balloting to continue for an indefinite period. That gentleman, however, asked permission after a few counties had been called for the sixth ballot, to have his name wdthdrawn. The permission was granted by the unanimous vote of the convention. This left the fight between Brown and Hess, and it was evident that the fight would be a bitter one, the friends of both men being loathe to give; an inch of ground to the opponent. Madison county gave Brown 36 and Marion county gave him 99, while Hess received from the latter county 31 votes. The total vote was as follows: Hess S73'4 Brown S321 This nominated Hess and the usual motion to make unanimous, made by Mr. Brown, wan carried. Capt. Alex Hers was therefore declared the unanimous choice of the convention for the office of clerk of the supreme court. .' n. 31. GeetlnK the Man. There were but two candidates for the office of superintendent of public instruction D. M. Geeting of Madison and J. H. Henry of Warsaw. When Pulaski county was reached on the roll-call Geeting had received several hundred more votes than the number necessary to a choice Henry secured the floor and withdrawing his name moved to make the nomination of Geeting unanimous. The motion carried with a hurrah. State Statistician. John Worrell, Hendricks county; W. F.- Axtell, Daviess; S. J. Thompson, Shelby, and Hiram HInes, Hamilton, were the candidates for state statistician, J. W. Agnew's name being withdrawn before the balloting began. The balloting progressed very rapidly with the following result: Thompson GId'.i Worrell 479 Axtell 3334 Hlnes 211 Seeond llnilot. The second ballot had progressed rapidly and almost completed when Mr. Axtell moved that the nomination of Mr. Thompson be made unanimous. Mr. Worrall, the only other candidate in th? race at this time, seconded the motion, saying that he felt It no disgrace to be defeated by a man who lost a leg in the defense of his country. The motion was carried and the convention returned to the consideration of candidates for state geologist. Stale Geologist. Four names were before the convention for state geologist. They were M. X. Elrod of Hartsville, W. S. Blatchley of Terre Haute, A. II. Purdue of Yankeetown and John Andrews of Woodside. It was 1 o'clock when the roll-call commenced, and by that time only alxmt two-thirds of the delegates were in the hall. Those remaining seemed to have changed their tactics to some extent and the call of the roll was allowed to go on rapidly. It was as follows: Elrod AS'i Blatchley .-. Purdue 22: Andrews 4 Second Rnllot. Messrs. Purdue and Andrews withdrew and a second ballot was begun. Rlatchley's majority became apparent before the ballot was over, and upon motion of the invincible J. B. Cockrum the rules were suspended and Blatchley's nomination was made by acclamation. Jl IMiE, FIRST DISTRICT.

Pandemonium Reln Throughout the Call Jordan Vomlnnted. The candidates for Judge of the supreme court. First district, were S. D. Coffey of Clay and J. H. Jordan of Morgan. When the call of the roll was completed the secretaries wrre at work on the tally sheets for an unusually length

of time. Finally Secretary Wilson stepped to the front with a sheet in his hand and in an apologetic ton made the rather strange statement that the vote was certainly correct, as the various tallies had been carefully compared and showed the same results. He then announced that the vote was as follows: Jordan "94 Coffey 5, This, cf course, nominated the former, but no pooner had the announcement been made than R. W. McBrile, a member of the Marion county delegation, sprang upon a chair and shouted: "I protest against this outrage. More votes have been announced than were cast in the convention. I demand a verification of the roll." This sensational declaration and demand, in the face ol the smallr.ocs of Jordan's majority, bn ught hundreds of delegates to their feet and pandemonium reigned supreme. Bob Graham of Hamilton seconded McRriae's demand for a verification of the vote. Delegate Case cf Putnam Faid that lie lived in a district where Judge Coffey had held court for years, and delegates thereof were satisfied that Jordan had been honestly nominated. Chairman Sayre declared tha.t it would be useless to attempt a verification of the vote by the call of the counties, as delegates could easily change their votes, and any discrepancy that mitr'nt have occurred could not be discovered. Delegate Blair of Clay at this shouted that he would appeal from the decision of the chair. At this juncture the awful Rhody Shiel climbed over the heads of a dozen delegates and began what promised to oe a. long oration. A perfect cyclone of hisses and groans greeted him. however, ar.d for onee in his lifetime he subsided. He was followed by Charles Audible Bookwalter. who made a rather rambling statement, in which he gave utterance to the monstrous statement that never In the history of the republican party had a crime been committed in any of its conventions. Finally above th din was heard the voice of the chairman saying that he would permit a recall cf the counties. The call then proceeded and at Its conclusion the vote remained the same. The friends of Judge Coffey thereupon expressed themselves as being perfectly satisfied that there had been no crookedness and the nomination of Jordan was made unanimous.

FOI RTH DISTRICT. L. J. Monks Secures the Nomination on Second llnilot. The names of the candidates for juice of the supreme court for the Fourth district were read at 2:40 o'clock a, in., at a time when, had it not been for the intense excitement over the decision of the vote for the First district, many a delegate who is accustomed to give himself into the keeping of the mythical Morpheus, and who doubtless r se before the roosters had announced the coming of the day of the republican convention, would have been dozing comfortably in the cramjel quarters afforded them in the convention, hall. As it was thy were decidedly awake and responded briskly t the secretary's call. The candidates were M. E. Forkner of New Castle, L. J. Monks of Winchester and D. W. Comstook of Richmond. Before the result of the ballot was commenced a resolution adopting the eagle as the emblem of the party was passed. The result of the ballot was as follows: Forkner 4"71-3 Monks 73 1-3 Comstock 472 1-3 Second Rnllot. Crawford county delegates sho,,k the dust of the convention from their Sunday shoes between the acts and loft ni r -,resentat!ve behind to tell the tale. They were passed in the roll-call. The ballot was as follows: Monks P26 Forkner 3 Comstock 422 It was 3:33 o'clock when L. J. Monks of Winchester was declared th- nominee. The mob then dispersed aftr seventeen and one-half hours of continuous session. lloir Krtrlinm Won. The nomination of Ketcham for attorney-general was a triumph of the lawyers of the state. Remarks to the effect that "if Ketcham is nominated tho bar will do it," could be heard on all sides in the preliminary contest. His friends fought it out on this line. "If you ar in earnest and desire a lawyer Ketcham is the man" was dinned into the ears of delegates day and night. It was no secret that the News, father and son, were bitterly hostile to his nomination. In fact Tayior's friends declared that if nominated the Journal would openly antagonize Ketcham. Prominent lawyers never before seen on the floor of a convention were there in his interesd and fought hard for him. and there is no doubt that they were the ones who encompassed his nomination.
