Every pame on the sbove ticket is familiar to our readers, hence no extend: ed notice need be made of the nominee"? of the 12th of Junme Cpnvention. So much has been said in these columns of most ot the candidates, before their nom-‘:E ination, that almost every reader of theé BANNER is thoroyghly acquainted with their merits and qualifications. As an indication of the unjversal sfatisfaetion with which these npmihatiogs re rcceived by the Democracy, we append a few extracts from some of our exchanges. - [From the Missouri Democrat, (Rep.)]: f The ticket as a whole, is 6ne of unusuaul strength, and confronted as it is by one of .equal ability ard popularity, the contest in Indiana promises to be ongof great interest. o T

: (From the Cincinnati| Enquirer.) ' . Indiana has taken a glx?rious stand, and her reward wili be as certain as it is adequate. The people are moving, and the -man who essays to stop the grand charge along the line had better cast himself under the wheels of a Jaggarnaut sensational death at once. | “ [From the Elkhart D atic Union.) Our State ticket, nominated this week at Indianapolis, is a ticket of the people, and one that will command universal respect from all classes throughout Hoosierdom. It isone that will sweep on and bear down all opposition, come from what quarter it wmay. It satisfies us fully, and we would have no ‘,.chmige made even if .such were possible.’ It will win, and our opponents areall aware of it. + - .

e [Prom the Rensselaer Union, (Rep.).) | ’ Thelndiana Democra?y beld their State convention yesterday at Indianapolis, and nominated Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks for Governor, Washidgton C. DePauw for Lieutenant Governor, and John Williams, of Lafayette, for Congressman at Large. This is a powerful ticket, and Republicans must be vv{gilant'and industrious if they would be|victorious. There will be no-fooling this campaign, but persistent, determined ﬂfghtipg from the start. 2 ¢

[From the Brookvil# Democrat.)] This is beyond doibt the- strongest ticket ever presented to the people of In. diapa. It can and w’ilsl .be’ clected by a msjority of 25,000. The battle has commenced under honest dand able standard bearers ; therefare let all Democrats put on the working harness and cease not their-efforts until victory perches upon the democratic banner and we have done the thing Browne,—so brown that radicalism and corruption shall never regain a foothold in our State. : }

(From the Indianapolis Sentinel, 13th inst.) It was- the evident wish of this con--vention to-mominate not only an unexceptionable ticket, but one of strength in fitness for the positions named and in integrity of purpose. In these regards the ticket nominated yesterday will have not only tke donfidence of its party friends, but wili dommend itself to the respect ot its political opponents. We only express the universal acctaim in saying that it is a good ticket, and if it is elected—as we have every confidence that it will—the people will be assured of an honest, economical, and intelligent administration of public affairs. It isa ticket that will -grow in public confidence as the canvass gr gresses. ) As Mr. Hendricks expressed it ?n his aéceptance' speech, the conven—tion gave its voice not only in ‘favor of civil reform, but have selected men for standard bearers who are in full accord with the sentiment, and will give their influence, if they shall be intrusted with power, forits practical enforcement in the conduct of public affairs. It is not only in national affairs, but in State and local governments that the people demand reform. And so far as Indiana is «concerned, the election of Hendricks and DePauw will be a guarantee of a faithful and economical administration of the State government, and it will’ be an example, the healthful influence of which will be felt in the conduct of county and township affairs. It/isnotin the national government alone that corruption and extravagance are exhibited to an extent that has aroused the people to the necessity of reform, but likewise in local gov-: ernments, The republican party obtain~ ed possession of the national apd State governments under the banner of re—trenchment and reform, but from the hour: it came into power the public expenditures incréased, and jobbers by corruption directed legislation in their interests. And jobbery can only be rooted out by having honest and intelligent men to administer public affairs. No senti ment expressed by Mr. Hendricks was re-’ ceived with more applause than his strong declaration in favor of civil service and }‘egislative reforms in State and local at - airs, i

The next business in order being the appointment of Preésidential electors, a lengthy discussion ensued, the principal_ speeghes being made by Hon. Joseph E. Mcgﬁonald. who argued that electors should not now be chosen but should be defeired until the Baltimore convertion shal}" bave acted, and by Hon. Samuel M. McFadden of Cass county, Hon. H: W. Hartington of Jefferson county, and Hon. Robert Lowry, who gave it as their opinion that the electors should he appointed. imutvevdiatcly. —~The views of Mr. McDonald 'were endorsed by a large majority, even a proposition to-select Electors at Latge being defeated by a vote of 1,037 to £54. | e e : committee of one trom each Congressional district was then appointed to se- “ leck delegates at large to the Baltimore convention, i |

{ NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR, - . [The chair announced that the next businéss in order would be the nomination of a tandidate for Governor. {Mr. Dobbing, of Martin, moved that Hfon. Thomas A. Hendricks be nominated by acclamatjon. + | The applapse wkich greeted this proposition was so hearty and uprorious that if was some time before the chairman cpuld bring the house to order, so as to put the question. This being done, thie apglause wag again renewed, the delegates Springing to their feet, shouting to the ‘extent of their lung power, and waving their hats in a phrenzy of delight. ‘There ~were loud calls for Mr. Hendricks. It was announced that he was not in the ioom, and Mr McDonald moved that a jcommittee of five be appointed to wait fupon Mr. Hendricks and inform him.of (his nomination, b | The chair appointed as the committee | Messrs. J.E. McDonald, Thomas Dowling, {John 8, Davis, L D.G. Nelson, and Dr. {Richardson. : .

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. The ndminqtion of a candidate for Lieutenant Governor was declared the next thing in order. '~ Washington C.DePauw, of Floyd; Chas. B. Laselle, of Cass ; Hon. Michael C. Kerr, of Floyd; James A. Cravens, of Wash—ington; Hon, Archibald Johnson, of Montgomery ; John Brownfield, of St. Joseph ; Captain W. W. Browning, of Brown, and Wm. Mack, of Vigo, were named for the position. The names of Messrs. Kerr and Cravens were subsequently withdrawn, The call of the counties was proceeded with, but before the roll-was concluded the delegates began changing rapidly to DePauw, and the chair, without a formal announcetuent of the vote, declared Mr. DePauw the nominee. A delegate moved that the nomination be declared unanimous. ; !

The chair said: “It has been moved that the nomination of Mr. DePa%i be declared unanimous. Those who are in favor of that motion will signify the same by giving three cheers.” Three cheers were given with a will, and the nomination declared the unanimous action of the ‘convention: bl §i ) - The committee appointed to'wait upon Mr. Hendricks here appeared upon the stage, accompanied by that gentleman. His appearance was hailed with deafening applause, add although all were anxious to hear what he had to say, they seemed reluctant to leave.off .cheering. - The nominee for Governor (Mr, Hen. dricks) betog noticed in the hall, long,

loud and persistent shouts were given for "Hend&icks,“ “Hendricks,” “Hcndricks™ In the midst of much confusion, many members of the econvention rising and ‘waving their hats and bandkerchicfs, the eommittee appointed for that purpose escorted Mr. Hendricks to the front of the stage, Hon. Joseph E. McDonald saying: “Gentlemen—l now present to you your nominee for Governor.” At the instance of a delegate, three cheers were given for the nominee. ‘ : , Mr. Hendricks, when the applausc had somewhat subsided, said : ;

Geutle%ﬁn of the convention: Until yesterday thorning I bad no thought cf becoming a nominee of this convention. Day before yesterday, that evening and yesterday morning I was appealed to by gentle. men whose appeals I could not deny, so that finally I gave my consent, and now I accept your nomination. [Cheers.] I beg you to understand, and that you will make it known to the men you represent, that my hesitation in accepting the nomination has been because of personal reasons and considerations, and- not because of any want of appreciation of the dignity and importance of the office to which you have nominated me. To be the first executive officer of the great State of Indiana is no common honor, and to be selected thus as a candidate for that office by the represen_ tatives of the men of this State, I consider one ot the higbest bonors ever confer red upon me. ; , Indiana, before the close of the next Gubernatorial term, will contain a population of nearly two millions of people, and: their resources will -have been more fully developed ; .and I contem:plate the responsibility of the execution of the laws which affect the interests of such a vast. number of people with diffidence and deep concern. tAlways the pesition of State Governor is one of inportance and responsi bility, but in these times greater than ever, now that the rights and powers of the State are being att.cked and invaded by a central pawer, so that the people shall no longer have a fireside government for the protection of their home interests.

The office of Executive of State is of still _greater importance. The State of Indiana, ehou'léi I be elected your Governor, must all the time, as far as my. influence 1s con: cerned, maintain a friendly attitude and relation toward the federal government; but at the same time all the rights and powers of government which are reserved to the State of Indiana by the Constitu~ tior of the United States, must be respected—every one of them. [Shouts of applause, in the midst of which a voice. was heard, “That’s business ”'] : Gentlemen, we have before us a sad spectacle ; the result of interference with: . State governments. There are States south of the Ohio river, whose control has been taken away from the people. and whose government has been committed to those who baye sought to make special'and pri: vate speculation out of their afflictions. ' Those States are now prostrated and in the dust. The frauds that have been per: petrated in those States have increased their indebtedness until now they are in a condition almost of bankruptcy, which appeals to the sympathy of the people of Indiana, and when we hear their wailing cry.coming to us to give them moral and political support, shall we refuse to-re-spond? [Loud and repeated cries of “no.”] [A ]voice'—-“Hurmh for Greeley !" Laughter.] ) |

I do not propose to address ycu at any length, but there are one or two subjects to which.l will refer. lam in earnest in favor of civil service reform. [Applause.] I am in taver of that in the State of Indiana as well asin the general governmient. [Renewed applause.] lam a little anxious to know whether the people of this country are to be deceived by the suppoit ers of the’administration any longer? It has been asserted in the platform lately formed at Philadelphia that the party now in power are in favor of civil service reform. That party for meny years has had an opportunity of showing its faith by its ~wish. Reform has not been brought about. And during the last six months we have beheld at Washington the singular spec: _tacle of a President in formal messages'to Congress pretending to favor civil service reform, and his leaders'in the Senate and House denouncing any man who advoca ted such reform as a foe to the adminis‘tration. [Laughter.] This Congress is likely to come to a close—the recent ses: sion has closed without any sincere and honest effort at reform. Now, if the men with whom I am to co eperate now and in the future are in favor of this reform, let them show it at the October and November elections. [Applause.] Let every ballot declare that the offices, high and low, shall’be held and administered only for the good of the people. [Applause.] - I believe that my judgment in respect to the proper action of the Baltimore Convention is in harmony with the sentiment of this convention. [Cheers.] I desire to see that convention perform its duties well. Very much may depend uponsit. I, as your representative in this contest—a§ least, to some extent your representa - “tive—will abide by the dezision ‘of that convention: [Applause.] And I believe | the deliberations of the. convention will result in such action as will secure a reform in the goveroment of the State o Indiana, and in the government of the United States. [Renewed applause.] I believe from what I see here, and from ithe rumblings I hear from afar, from different parts of the country, that the administration of General Grant will close forever on the 4th of next March. [Cheers and shouts of applause.] And, my countrymen, when you are asked to vote for Grant'the ~question is not so much whether Grant shall be elected President of the United States, as whether the ring that surrounds him' shall control the destinies of this country for four years longer. [Applause -and voices, “That’s it.”] He who, in October, shall vote the Grant ticket in Indi~ana, and he who, in November, shall yote ‘the Grant electoral ticket, is casting a vote for not only General Grant, but for Morton, for Chandler, for Conkling, tor Cameron, and for Butler. [Applause.] It - will be understood sooner or later, aq‘d it may as well be understood now as at'an: time that the controversy is not so mucivl between the man who may be agreed ypon ‘at Baltimore and General Grant, as between the Baltimore nominee andi the surroundings of General Grant. | -

- I amnot much afraid of a one man power. lam not much afraid when one man shall stand up before this nation and assume the responsibility of what he may do; but I am afraid of the government of an irresponsible band of men. lam afraid of the power behind that one man—a power held by men not directly responsible to the people. [Applause.] When a President stands up before the people, glone responsible to them for what he does, he must bow to- their clearly expressed and well defined judgment, but when he is surrounded by those who make gain and advantage out of his administration by controlling his policy and patronage, and who are permitted to approach him early in the morning and late at night. When they govern the people in this way it is a -dangerous government for any. people. [Applause.] Iwanta government of direct responsibility. Let us know who are responsible to us. I think whoever-may be elected President next time will feel that he must stand directly before the people, and be personally responsible to them, La the sense in which we have a personal government now, the sdminjstration of the nation’s affairs is for the benefit of rticular individuals and classes; but I rl:ink that the next President will feel that he must administer public affairs for ‘the good of the poople and that there ~sball be no other considerstion pesible _than the good of the whole people. - Now, gentlemen, you have honored me - with this nomination, and as far as my health "ﬂrwk me to do 8o I will try

to make your ticket successful in October. [Applause ] Bear in mind that as Indiana oes in October so Indiana must go in gl’ovember. [Renetred applanse.] I believe I know the result now. I believe I read it in your faces, and know it from the sympathy of my heart with your bearts. . Go to the people and say to them that they must put in nomination in their districts and counties the men who can ¢ommand the entire support of all persons who oppose the present party in power. [Applause] : ' SaE - We have this day substantially turned our backs upon the past; we now stand in the presert and we look forward to the great fature. The past is gone. [Applause. ] The future is ours. Let the people lay hold of the fature and achieve that full measure of prosperity and happiness which it is in their power to secure. [Applause.] At the conclusion of Mr. Hendricks' speech there were loud calls for DePauw, but it was announced that he was not in the city. ' e

| CONGRESSMEN AT LARGE. . i The convention next proceeded to the selection of Congressmen at Large. On motion it was resolved ito nominate both &t one time. The names of the following gentlemen were placed before the con. wvention: Col. John S. Williams, of Tip pecanoe ; Hon. Thomas R. Cobb, of Knox; 'Hon. M. C. Kerr, of Floyd; E. Van Long, ‘of Kosciusko; Hon. George W. Julian, of Wayne; Wm. Harrow, of Posey; Col. I. 'P. Gray, of Randolph; Col. C. M. Allen, of Vincennes. : s

- The following letter was presented and read, from Mr. Julian: © = : INDIANAPOLIS, June 12, 1872. A.M. PverT—Dear Sir:—~l go home this morning, and wish to leave a line for you, to be used if there should be any occasion for it.. While I hope the conven--tion will place some Liberal Republican op the ticket, in drder to a more cordial and perfect union against the commeon foe, I must not in any event be made a candi-. date for any place. I do not want the ‘position of Congressman at Large, or any other. I want no office whatever, but shall labor for the cause to the extent of my health and strength, and believe I can do s more effectually as an independent citizen than I could in the attitude of a seeker of place. ' . Please bave this laid before the covention, if there should be-any serious purpose to nominate me. In haste, yours, ‘ GEorGE W. JULIAN The names of Messrs. Gray and Allen -were withdrawn. : : 5

The call of the counties was proceeded with, but before the vote could be counted a large number of counties changed their votes, making cousiderable delay necessary. The chairman finally announced the vote as follows: . John 8, Willkiams. .. ... .00 00 131014 M GiKerr o 000 o dG LR Onbb i oo oo 399 HEooVaphong. 0. ol L 0 30938 Wm o Hatrow... iie. a 0 488

Mr. Williams having received the votes of a majority of all the delegates, was de<clared duly nominated as one of the candidates for Congressmen at Large. ll‘here being no second choice, the roll was again called. After it was finished, and before the vote.was announced, the delegates began to concentrate upon Kerr and Harrow, the vote having previously been pretty well divided between these gentlemen and Messrs. Van Long and Cobb. The vote was finally announced, as folows : . : Mow Ry 000 T aaone WL Hartow . o oo aditn s 998 M, Ker’r having reccived a majority of all the votes cast, was declared nominated, and then, upon motion, the two nominations were declared unanimous.

No choice. The name of Mr. Meno was withdrawn, and the roll was called for the second ballot. Before the result was an. nounced' the name of Mr, Barnett was withdrawn, and the delegates began to concentrate upon Mr. Eddy. It being apparent tbat he already had a large ma’ority, his nomination was declared unanimous without the formal announcement of the vote. - , ! .AUDITOR OF ETATE. The nomination of a candidate for Auditor of State was announced as the next business in order. The names of John C, Shoemaker, ot Marion, and John B.

His appear: ance upon the stage was greeted with hearty applause, Hon, John B. Stoll having been urged forward from bis seat among the Laporte county delegation to a place on the plat. form, amid the enthusiastic plaudits of his friends, spoke as follows ;

MB. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW CITiZENS OF INDIANA.—Togay that I thank you most heartily for the distingunished honor you bave conferred upon me to- day by nominating me for the high and responsible position of State Auditor, and to say to you that I am truly grateful for this honor, is but a feeble expression of the emotions that I experiense at this moment. [Applause.] Fellow Democrats, two years ago [ was presented as a candidate for the game cffice. I was not successful in the contest for that nomioatijon, but when defeated I immediately hrose in yonder gellery and promised to go into the contest and fight for the success of the ticket then nominated [applause] as vigorous| and as enthusiastically as ’ﬂwng% I b'ng myself been placed upon that -ticket,

[Renewed applause.] It is not for me to say whether that pledge has been redeemed. I leavethat to the Democracy of Indiana to determine: Bat I wish to say to you now, gentlemen, that if I corld find time to advocate the election of a democratic State ticket in-1870, as an unsuccessful aspirant for a place thereon, you may rest assured that I-will roll up my sleeves after the adjournment of this convention, and fight on until victory is achieved in October. [Cheers.] ; I desire to return you thanks, too, in behalf of the nationality which I repre sent in this convention. [Applause.] In behalf of that nationality which to day looks. with pride and -honor to one of the greatest statesmen among us, and wha is today a member of the United - States Senate. [Cheers.] Aund in addition thereto, my fellow-citizens, I hereby enter a most sacred pledge and promise that, if elected, everything that may be imposed upon me in the discharge of my duties as Auditor, shall be fazithfully and honestly performed. [Applause.] And,gentlemen, again thanking you for the honor conferred upon me, I bold mysclf in readiness to respond to all calls that ‘may be made upon me from the severel Congressional districts ‘during the ensuing campaign. [Applause.] . ° : Mr. Stoll then endeavored to retire, but was again urged forward and said:

Ferrow Cirizens.—l have been requested to make a few remarks in my nativelanguage. [Applause.|l will onlysay: German Democrats, -fcllow citizens of Indiana—l have but one remark to make, and that is, that I shali use every endeavor in my power to keep in honor and un stained from every tarnish the name of our nationality. [Loud cheers.] _ Mr. Shoemaker was called ™ for, but not being present, a fricad among the Marion county delegation spoke for him to the effect that, though he was net a' speaker, be was too good a Democrat to go_ back ou a regular nomipation. |

: TREASURER OF. STATE. ] - The nomination of a candidate for | Treasurer of State being the next thing in order, Hon. Jumes B. Rvan Yvas, on mo tion, nominated by acclamation. There was a loud call‘for Mr. Ryan, and hé came forward und said: L : MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—FEL§.OW CITIZENS,— I know .not what to say, For the fourth time you bave taken me upanl nominated me for this position. I wrote to no delegate asking bim to support me. I left it to yourselves ‘to do what you pleascd: I havn't spoke to a delegate from my own county in my own behalf. It wasin the hands of my democratic friends to do with me as/they saw fit. ‘You havel nominated me now for the fourth time—a thipg unprecedented: in Indiana, and whatcan I say in thanking you? Words cannot express my feelings, my friends, There are not-words in Web ster’s' Unabridged that can express my feelings. [A voice — “speak louder.”] Well, my friend, I will if I can. [Laughter.] I will say this: I hope that we may have success péxt October, not for my benefit so much as for,my country’s bene fit. ‘[Applause.] | ~ I would love not myself above any ot my fellow citizens' down South. I would try to lift them up, that they might be my equals [Applause.] For that I would sacrifice everything. If necessary, when the State Central Committee meets for consultation, if they think it best to take mé off the track, and put on another, I will even be for that. Tam for success, not from personal considerations, but for the -sake of my country. My ' friends, when a boy I hedrd a great countryman of mine make a speech, and he said this; “Go hometo your people,” said he, “and agitate,'agitate, agitate!” 'When he was speaking of the accursed union ar between England and my poor, distracted native ccuntry, he said to them, “Agitate, agitate, agitate!” . And I knew a clergyman who once closed an address by saying, “Educate, educate, educate!” I propose to amend that here to-day by saying to you, '‘Organize, organize, organize, [applause| and save your country from accursed radical pollution. [Cheers.] My friends, I speak what I feel. Itis trom the heart that I ask you for God's sake and for your coun'try’g sake, to banish all personal considerations in this contest, and see that Indiana gives 20,000 majority, and beat -Oliver P. Morton next winter in the legislature of Indiana. I care not who. goes to the Senate from In diana, so that he is an honest and incor - ruptible man, but for God’s sake don’t send Oliver P. Morton. Butenough, gentlemen, I have detained you too long. I thank you kindly for your partiality. This 1s the first time to-day that I bave been out of my office since Monday worning. ‘A good many county treasurers have come to settle within the past few days, and I have not been able to visit you dele. gates at your rooms, not have I been able to see very many of you égcel;t as I have met you on the street. I shall be happy +to see any of you at my office or at my house. The latch string is always oant [Applause.] e

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLICINSTRUCTIUN. Hon, Milton B.
