Democratic Congressional Convention at Hammond March 16.

The democratic congressional convention for the Tenth Indiana District, will be held on Monday, March 16, at Hammond. It will be a very tame affair of course, as there will be no opposition to the renominatlon of Mr. Peterson. The convention two years ago was held at Lafayette, and two years before at Hammond, therefore as it seems to be the idea of the party leaders that proper places for holding these conventions is at the two larger towns in the district, it is Hammond’s turn for it this year. The convention will have 112 delegates. as follows: Benton county. 9; Jasper, 8; Lake, 32; Newton, 6; Porter, 9; Tippecanoe, 29; Warren, 7, and White 13. The convention is to be held at the Jefferson Club rooms in Hammond.
