THE CONYESTIU : t haven't IttllUllge to express my gratitude for the confidence
that you have reposed in me. To be the standard-boarer of tho Democratic parte of Iudinnais iioordinarvcouiplitucnt. I have been over your State, and when 1
tailed I telt that 1 would like to b thn
Governor of Indiana, but as 1 passed over the State I became exceedingly anxious to he the Governor of Indiana. There
are more counties in Indiana where tho citizens feel that their homes are the heat, their soil is the best, and the intelligence of the people is superior to those of any other of the States iit this Union. Where-: ever you rind the citizens of a couutrv!
satisfied with their soil, satiritied with th'
Htclllgence that surrounds them. I sav to
you they are a happy people. I have no
ucecn to make upon the nucsi onsof the
day, but I want to say this: The can
vas lias been a warm one and in soma
degree exciting, but as far as I know, there has been nothing said on either side
tnai is calculated to leave any bad feeling whatever. I didn't want this nomination unless it was the wish of'the Democracy of Indiana. Mv comnetitors.
Judge Downey and Mr. Gray, I think,
hare the same feeling, lean sav to vou. srentlemen. that Mr.
Gray, my competitor in this canvass, has
nowe t n energy that is worthy of auy
man. Jie has been industrious, he has been all over the State, and I would be proud, indeed, if we could have two Governors in Indiana, f Ahnlatisc.l 1
advise energy, I advise it in business as
well as iu politics, and I said to mv friends throughout the State that the
energy ot Mr. Gray whs commendable, and yet in every seine it has been honorable. I will sav this, that when the can
vass is over you will not charge me with lack of energy and industry.
You will imd me iu everv counfv in
Indiana. 1 will he there defcudiug the Democratic party. 1 will be there to
sec that that party is organized for the eonfti.-t. We can nut get through this canvass without organization. We must
have, organization, and wo will have or
ganization, and when we get through this irvat and elect our President, as we did four years airo. we are determined

LiEUTEKAST-novmyon. Governor Gray wn4 called forward to lvo iu his adhesion to Mr. Landers, and.
as he. attempted to speak, Hon. Austin
H. Isrown. of Marion a counfv which
cast a solid vote for Landers moved that he be nominnied Lieutenant-Governor by acclamation. This was a happy thought, and took like wild-fire. Countv
after county seconded the nomination,
delegations sprang to their feet, and in
an instant the Convention out-ran the
check-rein and became unmanageable.
Don. John Lee, of Montgomery, was the
Mrst to secure recognition and withdraw
m lavor 01 loionet uray. ,xne other
candidates hastened to fellow suit, and
the climax was reached when John Enos
Jfctr, or llandolph, the most bitter and uncompromising enemy Gray had in thc Held, pledged the allegiance of tho llan
dolph delegation to his support. Any
cllort to check the tine was unavailing, and after the Convention had exhausted
itself Governor Hendricks put thc motion, which was accepted with a yell. The Governor then introduced the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, with thc remark that a stronger and better ticket
was never offered to the Democracy of
Indiana than Landers ana tiray, and he predicted there wouldn't he Kepublicans enough fo keep in sight of them, There was another outbreak of applause, but finally Colonel Gray found opportunity to say.
THE LIKUTEKAKT-fHOVEKNOK's ACCEPTAXCl
Mr. PRKSttiB.NT ami Gbntlemev or the Convention : Four years ago tho
Democracy ofindianaiii Convention as sembled, nominated me by acqlaniatioti ifs candidate, for Lieutenant-Governor. How I discharged the duties of that position is now a part of the political history of Indiana. 1 was nominated at that timo without solicitation on my part. This Convention to-day, ngain representing the Democracy of Indiana, have in tfcc exercise of its political wisdom seen proper to nominate me again bv acclamation Its candidate for LieutenantGovernor. This is a compliment that has rarely been paid to any citizen of Indiana m far as my remembrance goes. I would he less than a'mau if I failed to appreciate it. Gentlemen of tho Convention, I assure you that I do, and thank you most profoundly lor this renewed manifestation of your confidence and high regard. If 1 shall be elected, and I have not the least doubt (Cries of ''you will lie "I have not the least doubt iu the world but what I will be, I will try and discharge the duties of thc position s'o that no Democrat iu Indiana shall ever be
ashamed of having been a Gray man iu .t.... r ..... . ... a

you awhile ago that nothing was more foreign to my thoughts than that of being nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, yet I am too good a Democrat to decline any position that the Democracy of Indiana may assign inc. that they may believe is for the good of the cause. I will ho found in the coming campaign to the full extent of my humble ability helping iu every honorable way to carry your banner to victory and" triumph in the coining political contest, and when wo shall have planted it upon the ramparts of tho enemy it will be my duty as far as 3iiy position' is concerned to see that the Democratic banner stays there. Gentlemen, again I thank you. JUDGES SUI'KRME (JOUKT. Judge John T. Scott, of Vigo, the present incumbent was nominated ou the third ballot, ami Capt. J- A. S. Mitchcl,' of Elkhart, on the second ballot. Gabriel Schmuck, of Perry, was nominated for re-election as Clerk of the Supremo Court, on the first ballot, and made an acceptance speech in .German and English. GH Shanklin.for Secretary of State; General Mansou, Auditor; 'William Fleming, Treasurer, atid Judge Woollen, Attorney-General, were renominated by acclamation, there being 110 opposition to a second term of service by these gentlemen. A. M. Martin, Reporter Supreme Court, was renominated by acclamation. Professor Goodwin, of Flonl. proved a dangerous competitor to Professor Smart for Superintendent of Public Instruction. The first ballot resulted: Smart, 332f; Blount, G6; Goodwin, Jfrl7; Morris. 13; Da met, 212; Dills, 44; Ilopkitfs, W. On the second ballot the changes in favor of
Goodwin were so numerous that Smart
withdrew, and his example being followed by tho other competitors, Goodwin was unanimously declared the nomiuoe.
The Right Man. The Democracy of the 2d Congressional district last Saturday nominated Hon. Thos. II. Cobb for re-election to Congress. "We only regret that wo have not got more such determined men in' Congress as Thomas It. Cobb. 11c is a gentleman, and a Democrat that can be
relied 011 at all times and under all cir
cumstances. Wo have known Mr. Cobb
(personally) as well as politically, since the year 1868 and '69, and when we say that Mr. Cobb is tho right man in the right place, we know whereof we speak. Kockport Democrat.
The Local Trade Company have concluded that further efforts to buy the E. & E. road are useless, and have determined to build their line through from Evansville to Genfryville. They havo presented a petition to the Board of Commissioners to order aa election on the proposition, to vote them a two per cent, tax in this township, on the oendltion that they build through from Evansville,. and run on the north side of Boonville, locating their depot within a half mile north of the Court-house Doonville Enquirer.
