LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1876.

nes, was relected as President, and John W. Kern, of Kokomo, as principal Beerafaryi . o LLO THE CONVENTION. The delegations were slow in assembling at the Academy, the complex situation.upon the -gixbern'atoria} question keeping many at the leading hotels, and it was not until 10:20 that the Chairman of the State Central Committee rapped order with a tin foil covered gavel. ®At this time the ‘interior of the Acadgmy presented a brilliant appearance, the seating capacity was fully. absorbed, and the second gallery, appropriated to spectators, was crowded, by a set of men comparing favorably in intellectual appearance with previous assemblies of similar character, The loud hum of cf)r'xversation was kept up until the last, but seemed to partake more of an interchange of sociality than of poli cal working. o g

* THE OGRGANIZATION. . =~ ™ At 10;20 Gen. Manson, Chairman of the Central Committee, : rapped the gavel and called the Convention to order. It required but a minute to still the throng and prayer was read by the Rev. Herbert Root. assistant 'at St. Paul’s cathedral. The committee on resolutions, Judge Anthony, chairman, then reported the officers named elsewhere. At the mention of the names of Speaker Kerr- and Sen.'it,or McDonald there was a slight ripple-of applause, but when Voorhees was named it brought the house dowmr and the cheering was loud. The order of nominations was offered as follows: : 1 Governor. ; 2 Lieutenant Governor. .. - . 3. Four Judges of the Supreme Court. 4 Secretary of State. ; 5 Auditor of State. S 6 Treasurer of State. i 7 Attorney General. | g 8 Superintendent of Public Instruction. : 5 :

9 Clerk of Supreme Court; ‘ 10 Reporter of Supreme Court. Mr. Cobb then came forward and was introduced. Ile returned thanks for the honor and asked for assistance in preserving order. He had no ‘sp’e;‘éql(l to make, and therefore called the convention to order. = : A great deal of time 'was then consumed in calling for the names of the Vice-Presidents and assistant Secretaries. The committee on resolutions was called to report, bfutthe chairman said they' were not ready, and the time was occupied in calling for the delegates to the National Convention, a list of which is given in the introductory. The convention ratified the appointments. A e _ The committee on resolutions not; responding to another call, the chairman announced that the next thing was the nomination of a candidate for Governor. Hon. W.S. Holman was nominated, and the name was cheered. A dozenvs'pr;;ng up to nominate Lan-: ders, but were prevented by a very solemn, lugubrious individanal on the stage, J. J. Smiley, of Putnam, who proceeded in a. sepulchral tome to make a speech about “one who by his own exertions,” ete. Cries of *no. speech, no: speech,” drowned his' loud voice. A motion was made and seconded to postpone the nomination till two o’clock, but no attention was paid to it. sy The solemn delegate from Putnam . proceeded to say: *“The individual as I was alludin’ to i 8 the honorable Franklin Landers,” and subsided.. The: name was received with: great cheering,. which soon merged intd an uproar. A motion to make the first ballot an informal one was voted down, and Mr. Landers rose to his feet in’ the gallery. He®aid: .. .. ; | Mr. President—l wish to say that I’ desire the gentleman who first suggested my name for the neminatiohy to ~wahdraw it." (Cries: No! No! Never! Order! Landers forever! etc.) I have avowed from the first that my name and that of Judge Holman should not come into this convention together. Had it not ‘been for the declaration of Judge Holman, that he would not be a candidate, I would not have beeni I said to him, that in no event should my name be brought in‘to the convention for the nomination’ ‘for Governor in -opposition to his. Had it not been for his declaration that in no event should his name come before this convention I would not have been here, gentlemen. I can not ¢ontrol the friends of Judge Holman but I can control myself and keep my own consistency, therefore I de-. mand that my name be withdrawn from this convention. [Deafening cries of: No! Never!] . : This had a decided effect upon the convention, the principal product of which'was noise. . Cries of No! No! No! pealed through the air, and for a few minutes the uproar was terrible. A ' motion toi:declare Holman the nominee by acclamation was ruled ou} of order. = A delegate nominated Judge Niblack and was faintly cheered, but choked down with cries of indignation. Gen. James R. Slack, of ‘Huntirgton, then obtained the floor aud ‘launched’ out into a’ panegyric upon Holman, Yeélls and eries arose’ and the uproar became terrible. The band’ was set to playing by some officious fellow to choke off Gep. Slack, hut as soon as it ceased the gentleman attempted to speak again. The scene that followed beggars description. Bedlam let loose in a beer garden could not have exceeded it. In the confusion Hon. J. D. Williams, of Knox, was nominated and General Slack finished what was understood to be the withdrawal of Holman’s name. But the noise was so great’ that nothing could be heard. The com-: mittee on resolutions tried to report. ’Squire Cookerly of Terre Haute finally got the floor and nominated as a compromise Hon. D..W. Voorhees, Confusion worse confounded followed. The ' committee on resolutions again tried to report, but was unsuccessful. The chair ordered the ballot to be taken, and it began amid the racket‘re-.;! doubled, Austin H, Brown nearly went into a convulsion demanding & l postponement until one o'clock, and J. W. Nichols -yelled, “Democrats, o:s e e

stand by your guas,”’ though nobody knew what he meant by that. . The call proceeded, tme chair resolutely refusing to recognize any one. Nothing could-be heard. - Cookerly tried to speak, and Havens to withdraw Voorhees’ name, %uc Cookerly would not let him. Sueh a row hasmot been seen in any State ¢onvention. It was moved by Judge I‘K_ow'ry‘f and seconded to suspend the. order of business. and hear the resehitions, which was adopted and the hubbub ceased. Judge Coffroth read the reselutions as follows: Lt

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. The democracy of Indiana declare their ‘fidelity to all the provisions of the federal: constitution, ¥ a perpetual union of the Stites, to local selfgovernment in every section, to all public trusts and obligations, to the hénest payment of the public debt, to the preservation of the public faith, &p the maintenance of free schools, nd to the pure ayd economical administration of ty_ﬁdera}, State and municipal govare€anis. - They contemplate with alarm the distress that prevails, the ‘widespread - financial ruin that impends over! the people, and the corruption that pervades the public service; and they charge:that these evils are the direct results of the personal government, unwise legislation, vicious financial poliey, the great contraction of the currency and the extravagance and selfishness of the party and its officials who have so long held unchecked control. Inviting all who believe in and earnestly desire official purity and fidelity, the adjustment of the financial questions’ upon a sound busis, having & regard for the. interests and weltare of the whole people; and not a class, and the recognition of the final settlement of all questions submitted to the arbitrament of the sword, to .unite with them, they declare . . ,

. 1., That the eivil. service of the government has become corrupt, anda is made the object of personal gain, and that it is the first duty which the people owe to themselves and the government to restore the ‘tests of honesty, capacity and fidelity in the selection of persons to fill all public positions. .- | "2, The repeated exposures of corruptions in the administration of every ‘branch of public affairstcall for continued and thorough investigation, not’ only ‘that corrupt -practices may be brought to light, and guilty parties to punishment, but also that it may be made clear to the people that their only remedy for reform is by making a general and thorough change. L

3. That retrenchment and economy are indispensable in federal, State and municipal administration, as an essential means toward lessening the burdens of the people, and we commend the efforts -of the majority of the House of Representatives for the. reduction of the expenses of the'federal government to a just standard, and their determination to lessen the number of useless offices. T 4, We belieye inour ancient doctrine that gold and silver are the true and safe basis for.the currency, and we are in favor of measures and policies that will produce uniformity in valué. in the coip and paver money of the country without destroying or embarrassing the business interests of the people. e : 5. We oppose the contraction of the volume of our paper currency, and declare in favor of the adoption of measures looking to the gradual retirement of: the circulation of the national banks- and the substitution therefor of éitculating notes. issued by authority of the government. | 8. We recognize with patriotic satisfaction the vast recuperative energies with Which our country is endowed, and we observe that in spite of the constan{ interference with the laws of commerce which has been practiced, our eurrency has improved in proportion as our wealth has increased, and the 'sense of national and local security has been conifirmed. We are, therefore, of the opinion that a natural return to specie payments will be promoted by the increase of national wealth and industries, by the assurance of harmony at home and peace abroad; and by strengthening our public: credit under a wise and economical administration of our na4ional affairs. - s M

7. 'Bhe legal tender notes constitute a safe currency, and one especially jaruab]e to the"debtor classes, because of its legal -tender quality, and we demrand the repeal of ‘he legisiation enacted by the republican party providing for its withdrawal tfromicir-: culation and the substitution therefor of national bank paper. @' = 8. The actof Congress for the resumption of specie payments.on the first of January, 1879,-was a party measure devised in secret caucus for party ends, and forced:through the House of Representatives without the allowance of amendment or -debate under party discipline; it paralyzes industry, createsdistrust of the future, turns the laborer and producer out of employment, i$ a standing threat upon business men, and should at once 'be repealed without any condition whatever. : :

9. As Democrats we may indulge in laudable pride at the great success of: our common school system, which had itsorigin in demoecratic policy, and its development in democratic measures.

1 The resolutions on motion of Judge Coffroth wereadopted. The racket of the Governorship bade fair'to begin but Judge Coffroth counseled ‘quie'? and orderly action. Gen. Slack the informed the convention--that by au‘thority he had withdrawn Mr. Hol man’s name, and nominated Mr. Wils liams. The howling increased. C. S} Denby, of Evansville, was nominated,: ‘Mr. Havens withdrew Voorhees’ name, Holman was nominated and so wa?‘ Landers,; the latter by Austin H, Brown. Mr. Landers tried to speak, Noise*was raised. Austin Brown declaréd that if Mr. Landers Was:‘no+ allowed to speak no one should be Order was finally restored and Mx{ ‘Landers said the Republicans had combined to beat him, not becatse they were friendly to Holman, for he was a man of convictions, but be: cause they could beat him (Landers) with Holman. He and Mr. Holman. ‘had started out in good faith, but he could not control . Mr. Holman’s friends, ‘though the ‘lattelﬂ'h}ighﬂ“. /Therefore his name wasnot to appear vefore the convention if Holman’s did.

A delégate demanded to know if :Mr. Landers accepted the independent nomination. T A Mr. Landers said that he had heen insulted mor¢ than 500 times fgsirig:el‘hL had been here by being ‘asked if he would suppért the action of the convention. It wasan insultto any man ‘aspiring to a position before it. In answer to the gentleman he would say that he had never accepted the nomination of the Independents. He agreed with them on the finances anP he would not sacrifice his opinions on that question.or. his Democracy fo}r any office the convention conld giv}s hime bl S|

Considerable cheering followed this, and John S. Williams, of Lafayette, got the floor. .He said it was evident that, there was-a personal misumleql.standing between<Landers and llolman, and the Demoeracy must not be made a;party to it. Mr, Landers dé%clined to be named, and Judge Slac*#r had WithdrawnﬁJiudge' Holman’s nam?’. To show that Gen. Slack had authority heread a dispatch from Holman saying he was not a candidate and did not want to be, and asking his friends not to urge him. Judge Holman did not want {it. The conduct of Mr. Landers’ friends should be a warning to Democrats, for there were other men in the State who could carry the party banner:as well as either. He preferred Williams, of Knox .county, and suggested to delay the nomination until 2 v’clock. (Cries of '“no, no.”) He dwelt upon the importance of the subjject, and moved that the convention take a recess for one hour. (Cries of “no, no.”) g ' ' The Dearborh county delegation, in the interest of harmony withdrew Holman and nominated Williams., ° Judge C&ffroth obtained the floor and tersely nominated Gen. Manson. The chairman ordered a call of the counties, and an unknown vice-presi-dent. counseled peace. Joe Nichol renominated Landers; some one else renominated Holman, and the noise rose so that the band had to play. The chairman then anngunced that the vote must be taken, and all the eandidates, could have a fair’Show. Call proceeded amid great confusion, both Holman and Landers being cheered as their names were called.. No break occurred for anybody else until Cass ‘was reached, which voted 28 for Williams; Clinton followed with 23 for: Manson. When Knox county 'was reached the name of Williams was withdrawn and 28 cast for Holman. As Wayne, Vigo and Tippecanoe came in it was evident that the vote was very close, and the usual changes and corrections followed.: The result’was aﬁnoum_:é’d as follows: «o cv e sl

No nomination was made, said the chair, .although some of the reporters made ithe tally - figure up 974 for Holman, Manson’s nameiwas withdrawn, and Mr. Landers again took the floor, saying that if Judge Holman’s friends put his name up, his own must be withdrawn, after the way-Judge Holman had treated him, '

| Gen. Slack withdrew Holman’s name ‘for the third time, and the confusion ‘began. J.D. Williams’ name was announced as the only one before the convention, and the vote began amid howling and shouting from all parts ‘of the house. The request for infor‘mation was renewed again and again, ‘and answered that Williams ‘was the ‘only candidate.” Finally it was stated ‘that other candidates could: he.nominated if desired, and Judge New,Manson and Voorhees were named, and the call began again, and when Benton was reached a break was again made for Landers, which was followed by others; but before the vote was finished Williams’ nomination was certain, and the counties commenced shianging. ¢+ o o Before the result was announced it

. Cruelty to:Animals. . - As a general thing, the farmers and” | horse-owners. of this Jocality .cannot ‘be complained of a 5 being guilty of cruelty to animals, Yet, once in a ‘while, a case is brought to our atten- | | tlon that calls.for public rebuke or the “intervention of »thq';ggvgg@;;,gf SR - For: the information of }ownars‘ of horses we publishigherewith an dct ofy the Legislature, abroved March 106 h% 1873, defining ¢ " ty to animals, de: | ’-qmvzns' it 2 misdemeanor, and provid: ing a penalty therefor. ' The act is St _ “That every persen who shall cruel1y beat or torture, ovgrdrive any horse, or other animal, wliether belonging to ‘himself oranother, shall be deemed guilty of a’ misdemeanor, ‘and ‘upon ‘conviction shall be fined in any sum ‘not exceéeding ouie hundred dollars.” . - In the county of Fulton, this State® some time ago, & man named Davis _Was arrested for a violation of this ‘act. The Rochester’ Sentinél gave an ~account of thie trial, from .which we ‘glean -the following ' particulars:— “From. the ‘téstimony given on the trial of the cause; it appears that Da vis had hired the services of a neighbors’s. horse to: haul some logs, and ‘that said horse was like a great many men, not disposed to do a fair share of work: assigned to him; in fact at ‘times refusing to do anything but retard the progress of his mate at his :side. ~The driver became as. balkly as the horse, and showed. less good judgment than the brate, for he proceeded _to pommel him so. unmereifully that the horse died the following day. Suit -was brought against -him under the ~above act. A largearray of witnesses - were examined, requiring three days’ ‘time. 'At the conclusion of the trial, “the jury, without any delay, returned a verdict, of guilty, and assessed his fine-at $5.00, which;, together witli the costs; will not make the entire tEll’for his cruelty fall farishort of $lOO. The “trial of the cause excited considerable interest, from the fact that it was probably -the first case ever .tried in _this county under that act. 1t should by no‘means be the last, unless the re--sult of the case just tried should have the.effect to prevent the too frequent inh uni'an treatment of animals; which is an every-day occurrence, Too many PErsons ‘misuse the. .horse, their best friend, mot always by beating him, but: by ‘overdriving and cavelessness in feeding and wintering them. Others come to town and hitch their team to a rack and leave it there all day in ithe hot stn, to' be pestered with flies, ‘and} without _food or water, .while their masters: quaff cool beer and revel i all kinds of sports, Winter days and nights- they are left standing,, af‘ter a hard drive, without covering, - wliile ‘the owners ‘toast their shins ‘around a saloon stove, and enjoy their ‘drinks ‘and popular games. A few ‘prosecutions for this neglect of faithful ' animals Dby heartless owners, might have a good- effeet, and now that the case has been made, let it be followed by others” ~ el Tl o el i .., Silang Expressions. | At regular intervals there.comes to. ‘the ~surface: some slang.'expression which-the American people seize upcon and hold. to until'they wear it threadbare.

A Remarkable Eruption, At the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain, on the east side of the Hudspn river; near . the northern entrance' to the Highlands, is the handsome| snmmer residenice of the Widow Wade, \Opposite in ‘the Hudson, is Pollipell's Island. The ground on which ithe ‘Wade mansion is located is 800 or 1,% feet above the level of the river, the, Pbackground being Sigar ‘Lollif Mountain, I,ooo°feet higher. A correspondent’ of the New York Sun|thus relates the particulars of a strange and ‘unaccountable Qccurrex'xce which took place” within a thousand feet of the house on ‘ Tuesday afternoon of last g ‘hile James McManus, the flag-. “man, was in the rock cut north at 3 p.

’,e heard l?, singular noise, a sort of rattling or crackling. To use his own words, “I thought the storm ~n£vas i ;wgnbling:" In a minute afterward there was another rumbling and rat- - tling louder than the first, almost im‘mediately followed by a third report. Said he, “I have heard powder explosions and sharp claps of thunder, but [ never heard such a noise that.” He ran south to ascertain the cause, and found the railroad track for 500 - teeti covered with stones and bowlders, and sunfish and perch. He lpoked up the hill:and saw a hole 300 feet in width and 50 feet in depth, and from iv fully 50,000 tons of dirt and sand had to all appearances been lifted up and hurled into and across the cove - below. The cove is 500 feet in width, - and the avalanche swept through it and oyer it to the Hudson River Railroad track, tearing down fences and covering the track 6 inches deep with stones, dirt and fish. Huge trees were ! hurled in every direction, ang the water the entire length of the cove was disturbed. T o At 7 o’cloq‘( in the! evening there was another report, and another mass of earth was hurled to the| cove below.: At 8 o'clock yesterday mog\ing there were two more reports, ' and - more dirt ‘was displaced. ' |What is stranger still, almost immediately af‘ter the last reports, a torren of water . burst from the bottom of the eavern, ‘from where'the earth had been hurled, »and plunged down the side of the hill, cutting a ravine 5 feet deep in less‘than no time, and the body of water 18 _increasing hourly. When the fact is stated that there is mno| pond or stream near the spot, except one a ‘mile back of Sugar Loaf, the sudden | ‘appearance, of so large'a stream of water from the bottom of a cavern 50 feet below the surfdce of the ground is remarkable. Prees 30 feetin height were carried to“a distance of 1,000 feet. Scores of people visited the spot ‘to-day, but not one could satisfactorily explain the occurrence.” It was not a - land-slide. It certainly looked like an eruption, for to all appearances the thousands of tons of earth must have been forced upward and outward to the cove below. The result of this up- * heavel can be easily seen from the windows of passing trajns. All around the chasm the ground was un- ' -disturbed, except Wwherd the immense mass of earth stuck to it asit tumbled into the rivﬁr. ,The indications are that there will soon be another upheavel there, and the trackmen are wateching the track closely.. The occurrence has revealed tons ot the finest sand where it was thought no - sand existed.. ¢ %' | :
