The Demoerkcy of the Senatorial district com posed oif Pike and Knox counties, will meet in delegate? convention at Petersbu rg, on Saturday, August 7, 1886, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Senator for said district. II. J. Wious, Chairman Piike Co. Cen. Com. James Emison, Chairman Kisax Co. Cen. Com. McCullough for congress. A full report of the Boonviile convention appears elsewhere in this paper. We ask every Democrat to giv^ it a careful reading. That Mr. McCullough received a majority of the delegate votes, in regular organization, is certain, lie is the nominee. Tills paper supports the staudardbearer selected by a majority of the delegates, who conformed to party usage in making that nomination. As a Democrat, we lire faithful to the tendts of our party. This is our guiding star.' We will follow it. To the Hon. James E. McCullough we will give our earnest and sincere support. Tiie News is the Republican organ. The Press lias admitted there arc irregularities in tlie: tariff. Tux Treasuiy has never had so reliable a watchman a s President Cleveland.

The Press’idea of protective tariff is to Lave a tariff that benefits a few to the injury of many. , The president has issued ajt order prohibiting Federal officeholders front; attempting to control conventions. _• _ C1es.Gk.vnt made the President's sal ary 450,000 per year. lie signed a bill doubling his own salary and at the same time vetoed a bill equalising soldier’s bounties. The Democratic press of the district (except the Tribune-News, Evansville, and the Siar, Mt. Vernon) support Hon. J. E. McCullough, the nominee for Congress. The idea of getting the 118,000.000 river and harbor bill through is about given up. There is a rumor that all the items will be minced 20 to 30 per cent. This a Democratic administration. The Indianapolis News, an Independent ttcpindican paper truthfully says“The president isn’t losing one foot of ground by his vetoes. Let those who think so attempt to go be-fore-the business men of the country with this as an issue.. Justice is slow but sure. The senate has passed the House bill granting pensions to all surviving soldiers of the Mexican war and to the widows of vetcraus who have not married again. The act is one of strict justice and it should have been passed long ago- . For Major Menzics we have the Most ardent admiration. A learned c legislator, a skillful politician, aud a prince ot good fellows, it is natural he should have stiong supporters. But the right of the majority of a convention to make a nomination is uuquestioned. As it was done iu conformity with party Usage, we accept the result; aud trns| that “harmony may waft its soothing breath o’er the checks” that arc in the flush of excitement aud that every wouud may find a healing balm.

POLITICAL GIANTS In Exciting and Determined Contest for the Congressional Nomination at BooBTlUe. rhe Llrellest Convention Ever Held la the First District. _ Hon. <1. E. McCullough, of Gibson, Sc* . cores the Nomination. Pen Pictures of the Cunvcntiun us Seen by a Democrat Key. rese illative. Resolutions—Committees — Speeches —Sketch of Nominee— States— Press Comment. Thursday, the lath, the Democracy of the district assembled en masse at Boouville. The Pike county delegation, with a few exceptions, arrived on the scene the night before, as did many others, and the hotels were crowded. King Caucus reigned, and preparations were made for the coming contest. The crowd was enthused hut harmonious. Ip the morning the Air Line train trom the south brought an immense crowd; the Gibson county delegation being headed hv the Princeton hand, and the crowd from Posey county was accompanied by the New Harmony hand. The supporters of the candidates with the bands marched through the streets, cheering for their favorite, to their respective headquarters.

The Congressional convention was called to order at 11:40 a. in., in the court house yard, by Geo. T\\ Curtis, of Posey, Chairman of the Congressional Committee, when a motion wap made to adjourn for dinner. On an aye and nay vote, the temporary chairman decided the motion to adjourn carried. In an iustant every delegate was on his feet, and there was intense excitement. The chair said his decision was final awl refused to grant an appeal. Feople on the stand crowded avsund the chairman and secretaries; E. A. Ely, Brack Barker and fifty others tried in vain to be heard above cheers for McCullough and for Mcnzics. E. A. Ely took the stand and criticised the chair for uot entertaining an appeal from his decision. Oapt. Stillwell nominated Ely for Chairman. The Chair finally agreed to settle the question by a vote by counties. Ou the vote Perry “split,”Jtwo representatives claiming to be chairman of the delegation. ForVandcrburg R. D. Richardson claimed to represent twentytwo delegates and Fred Blend shouted that he cast fifty-five votes agaiust adjournment, the entire vote. While the discussion ol adjournment was being agitated, 1 he Posey delegation got their dinner and were back in time to hear the chairman announce that the question of adjournment had been lost by a vote of 176 to 6. Confusion continued, and everybody talked and shouted. Mr. Ely was recognized by the chair, and made a motion which was seconded, that each county select one delegate, to act as a committee on permanent organization, and that the said committee select a permanent chairman and t\Vo secretaries and to prepare rules to govern the convention, the result of which was to either be accepted or rejected by the convention. To this motiou Fred Blend of Vanderburg offered an amendment, that a committee of three be appointed % the chair to select permanent officers and prepare rules to govern the convention. This amendment of Blend’s and the arbitrary rulings of the Chairman was what kept the couventiion in an uproar from 12 to about 6:3!) o’clock n. in.

Blend's amendment was declared carried, on an aye and nay vote, by Chairman Curtis. Theu followed a scene indescribable. Denunciation was heaped on the Chairman; there was lest of lung power between the two factions, lion. C. A. Bit shirk spoke for harmony. For an hour the Chairman tried to obtain older long enough to appoint his committee on organization (which was an usurpation of authority), but he was unsuccessful, and on motion the convention adjourned at 1:50, to meet in the "court house—no one but delegates and newspaper meu to be admitted. At 2:35 the delegates were called to order by tho temporary Chairman, who announced that he Would adhere to his decision to appoint a committee of three on organization. Yells came from the McCullough men, and confusion reigned supreme. After both sides bocomc tired of exercising their lungs, Henry J. Kramer, of Spencer, was carried to the chair by the McCullough men, who vrere disgusted with Curtis’ ruliugs. Curtis held his seat, and the “two chairmen” faced the excited delegates fer about one hour, and all joined in singing “We Won’t Go Home Till Morning.” At 4:15 the convention took a recess till five o’clock awl delegates retired, a large number cheering for Townsend. At 5:40 p. m. the convention agaiu assembled, and after being called to order by temporary Chairman Curtis, Thomas £. Garvin of Vamleiburg took the floor aud made a few remarks, saying he believed that a continuation of the convention would be disastrous to the party. He then moved that an adjournment be takeu uulil the secoud Thursday in August, and to meet wherever designated by tho Congressional. Committee. It. D. Richardson of Vandcrbnrg, managed to be heaitl long enough to make an amendment to proceed at Once to organize and nominate a candidate. Then there was “confusion of tongues,” during f.

which n motion was made to tabic Richardson's amendment. By an aye and nay vote, Die Chair* nan decided the amendment to pro ;ecd with business tabled, and a preIcst came from a hundred voices. Then a vote was taken on Garvin’s motion to adjourn to the sxjond Thursday in August. The Secretary proceeded to call the roll. Gibson voted 26against adjournment; Perry “split,” and two men claimed the right to cast the vote as a unit; Pike voted 12% against 6**' for adjournment; Posey 28 to adjourn; Spencer, voted against adjournment; Vamierburg “split” when B’end cast 55 for adjournment, and twenty-two McCullough delegates protested; Warrick voted against adjournment. The Chair directed the Secretary, to record Yanderburg’s and Perry’s v^tc as a unit for adjournment, with the following result: THE VOTE. For nitj't. Gibson Perrv. 20 Pike . ti'A PiM&v.28 Spencer —__— Vnnderbursf Warrick — 55 Against atU’t. 28 • mi 26 26 109J4 88?S “I now declare this convention adjourned until the second Thursday in August,” said Mr. Curtis, aud wlith a louder yell then' ever the Mcnzics delegates made a rush for the door. QUIET WHERE THERE HAb BEEN ClIiAOS. After the retirement of the Menzies’ delegates, Will N. Uuderwood:, of Perry, a member of the Congressional committee, called the convention to order, and John G. Eigenman, of Spencer, was chosen temporary chairman. Mr. Uuderwood was selected secretary. It was moved (and unanimously carried) that G.H. Ilazen, of Warrick, be selected for Permanent chairman. Hazen thanked the botlv for the honor,. and made a rattling speech. E. A. Ely, of Pike, moved that the respective counties select one person from their county to prepare rules and regulations to govern the convention. Carried by consent.

II. Evans, of Gibson. W. P. Knight, of Pike. Will N. Underwood, of Perry. llenry J. Kramer, of Spencer. R. D. Richardson, of Vauderburg. Wm. Swint, of Warrick.

The Committee on Credentials reported no contests. A call of the counties was then, made for nominations, and Hon. C. A. Buskirk named lion. J. E. McCullough and F. M. Groves, of Vauderburg, nominated Hon. G. V. Monties. The vote was as follows: McCullough Mesziks Gibson . 26 0 Pike. 19 0 Perry. .*> 0 Spencer. SB 0 Vanderburg. 22 2 Warrick. 2ft • Total. 1S7 2 The chairman announced the result of the vote, declaring Mr. McCullough the nominee and appointed E. A. Ely, of Pike, Uou. Win. Halim, Jr., of Vauderburg. and John Sweeujr of Perry, to wait on the gentleman and notify him of his nomination. The f dlow'ng resolutions were then read aud adopted: THE RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, By the Democracy of the First Congressional District of Indiana: 1. That we commend Grover Cleveland. President of the United States, for his sturdy honesty, and for b s earnest effort to infuse in all depart nn n s of government a spirit of honesty, economy and industry. tve commend bun for his effort to secure a modification of oppressive tariff taxation, for his courageous treatment of monopolies ami cattle'barons, in compelling them to yield up the possession of millions of aeres of unearned and unbought lands, thereby plauiug them withiu the reach of actual settlers. , That the action of a Democratic President in this respect, is in happy contrast to the jobbery successfully earned on under Republican administrations, whereby a magnificent public domain, acquired by Democratic statesmanship, that should have been preserved for happy hemes for the toiling masses, was squandered fbr the benefit of the favored few. 2. That it is the conviction of this convention that a member of Congress, whether of the liouse of Representatives, or of the United States Senate, can not faithfully serve two masters. That the salary now paid to a Senator or member of Congress is entirely sufficient to justify aud require au undivided service in behalfot his constituents. That the practice indulged, of 8f ii.> tors being retained with large retainers in behalf of corporations is calculated to bl ind the judgement as legislators, and is fraught with danger to the people. Therefore the action of the Republican majority in the Senate of the United States, iu refusing to vote fbr a law to prohibit a member or Congress from aeceptiug employment as an attorney or counselor fnr a corporation, meets with oar unqualified condemnation 3. That the war tax imposed upon the iu

lustries of the country. under the present injust and iniquitous tariff, wherein’ the Custom-house tax are laid on so hitch that [he people get the burden, and the monopolist the beufflt, is a master-piece of injustice, inequality aud false pretense; is a treat impediment in the way of restoration sf general prosperity, and is peculiarly a grievous burden upon the forming industries of the country. We therefore enjoin upon the nominee of this convention that he labor in season and nut for an equitable modilication of its provisions. We also henrtilv endorse the notion of lion. John J. Kleiner, and that of the large majority of Democratic memliers of Congress tor their efforts to relieve the lieoplc from the burden imposed by this legacy of Republican misrule. The Democratic Party is the faithful friend of the soldiers, their widows and orphans. We are in favor of granting pensions to all soldiers suffering from disability incurred during service in the armv; of equalizing {tensions and bounties to soldiers and liensioners without limitation as to time, and of providing for the widows of all soldiers. The convention then adjourned to court-house yard, where Mr, McCullough made a speech, a synopsis of whicli is given belotv. He said ; “According to the call of the congressional committee, the whole number of delegate votes of this convention was one hundred nintv-eight. 1 am informed by the chairman of the convention that I have been made its nominee, having received one hundred and thirty-seven delegate votes. There never was a time when it was not a great honor to any man to receive the nomination for congress at the bands of the Democracy of the First Congressional district. It is such an honor now and for this honor I am profoundly thankful. I do not attribute it to auv merits of mine, but very largely to the efforts of mv warm friends in tbis'district. At their feet I lay a heart full of gratitude It is the principle of the Democratic party as well as the principle upon which our government is based that the majority shall rule. Abrogate the rule that the majority shall rule and there can be no Democracy; no Republican form of government. As much as l prize this nomination I would not have accepted ft at the hands of the minority. I started into this campaign with the full determination that 1 would say or do nothing that should injure tiie Democratic party or the chances of my opponent for an election in case he instead of myself was nominated by a majority vote. I have rigidly adhered to this determination through all the canvass. I have said nothing I would have to take back or would have to explain in order to consistently and heartily support the nominee of the convention if it should have been nnothother person than myself. While in Gibson county there were 2,b53 Democrats at the last election, true and noble Democrats as ever found in any county, I am sure that nothing has been said or done there, that would tend to prevent the nominee of the convention, whoever he may be, from getting the full Democratic vote of the county. (A voice: “Ho you except the nomination >)” Of course I do. I ami my friends have been working industriously- lor this nomination some time. I accept it with thanks for the honor, kuowing the responsibilities which it imposes. It shall be my earnest endeavor to secure the election, and when so elected, discharge the duties of the office. Gentlemen. acain I thank von.

Following Mr. McCullough, Mr. Busk irk addressed the mooting, after which the convention was adjourned sine die. About eight o'clock (after Mr. McCullough’s speech). Major Meuzics appeared on the balcony of the St. Charles Hotel (his headquarters) and addressed his supporters. A reliable gentleman, who heard the Major’s speech reports him as follows: Mr. Meuzics said the assemblage which placed Mr. McCullough in the field was “a town meeting;” that the delegates oftheFijpt District of Indiana would meet on the second Thursday in August, an«l if he was the choice of the meeting he would accept ahd if he was not he would to up and down the bills and vales ef l*osey county for the man selected on August 12th. Boonville was then “painted red” by the enthusiastic Democracy until the arrival of the south bound Air Line train, at 9:05 p. m., on which most of the people departed for their homes in the various counties, while others took vehicles for their homes in Spencer and Perry counties; and then Boonville resumed its usual quietude after the liveliest Congressional convention ever held in the First District of Indiana. ! ! ! ! ! Both sides had stayers. Everybody had the floor! State candidates were present. It was a big day for Boonville. Posey county’s disappointment is bitter. It w as conceded on every hand that if Mr. Townsend had remained a candidate he would have been noBiinated. EXPLANATORY. Vanderburg's fifty-five delegates were chosen by want and township primaries, and of course came to the convention uninstructcd. They had a right to vote as they wished, and could not be forced to vote as a unit. The delegation met before the convention, however, and 39 Meuzics delegates voted Fred Blend Chairman of the delegation and instructed him to cast the vote of the county as a unit, though twenty-two McCullough dalegates protested. This was the cause of the wrangling in the Vamlerburg delegation and great confusiou in the convention.

X IKv CUIIIIl\ & lUll^UII UrviUllUUiUll, was 12% fur a McCullough motion ami 6% for a Menzies’ motion, Vince France's vote beingdiveded, as he was not present, ami this vote showed the relative strength of the two candidates in this county. The Perry county delegation appeared to be equally divided between McCullough and Menzies, for each faction selected a Chairman of the delegation, and on roll call one Chairman would cast twenty votes for a Mcuzics’ motion and the other Chairman per contra, and it was not settled. After the Menzies delegates withdrew, the total utunber of delegates who remained in the convention (not counting ten Perry delegates who were there) were 112%—12% more than a majority. Take from this the two votes given Menzies when the ballot was taken, and 110% votes remain. These 110% votes represent McCullough’s actual strengh on the floor, divided between the counties, as follows: Pike, 12% ; Gibson, 26; Silencer, 25; Vamlerburg, 22: Warrick, 25. It will be observed that in the above we have conceded Perry's twenty votes to Meuzics, though half the delegation remained and Perry’s vote was recorded twenty votes for McCullough ; as Pike’s vote of 19 was recorded for McCnllongh, though six Menzies delegates had retired with the others. This was done in accordance with the rule adopted as follows: ‘•In voting each county shall be called in alphabetical order, and the vote shall be announced by the Chairman of each delegation, but each delegate shall have the right to have his vote counted oh r.ll questions coming before the convention. So when we concede Mr. Menzies all the delegates tl at he could consistently claim, Mr. Cullough was the uomiuec of 110% delegates to that convention—the nominee of the majority. A Sketch ef the Ntanace. ' As a resident of our town for a number of years, Mr. McCullough is well knbwu to our people, but a brief sketch will not be out of place here. James E. McCullough was born iu

Spencer county, I ml., about 40 rears igo. In his younger years he lived >n his father’s farm. He taught school for a number of years. He graduated »t the Indiana State University in 71, ind after want began the practice of law in Petersburg, where he remained until 1875,when he removed to Princeton. He has enjoyed a large amt lucrative law practice; and in 1882 he was elected State Senator for the counties of Gibsen and Posey, which office he now holds. He is Chairman of the Judiciary Committee aud leader of the Democratic side of the Senate.. Press Comment. EARNESTLY LABOliS FOR Ills ELECTION. [Boonvillc Enquirer.] The Enquirer will abide by the decision of the Democracy of Warrick county and the action of its delegates in the Convention, and support the nomination of Hon. J. E. McCullough for Congress, aud earnstly labor for his triuiiiphaut election. THE NOMINEE. [Canncltou Enquirer and Reporter.} There was great delay in getting down to work, ami not until 6:30 o’clock, seven hours after the convention was called to order, was a permanent organization effected. After this was done the convention speedily transacted its busiuess and the Hern. J. E. McCullough became the Democratic nominee for Congress trOtn the First Congressional District of Indiana. HARMONY. [Indianapolis Sent!net,■RTKi.) Our dispatches this morning, received just before going to press, report a complication as the result of the Democratic Convention in the First Congressional District .yesterday. Mr. McCullough was nominated after Mr. 'lenzies’ friends withdrew from the convention. The latter announced another convention to be held August 12. A great deal of harmony may be evolved in two weeks if the Democrats of the First put tbeir inirnls to it. RALLY TO T11F. CANDIDATE. [Evansville Courier.] It is not unnhlnral that there should be some disappointment among the friends of Major Menzics. lie is a man of fine taleuts aud well educated for the business of legislation. Moreover he conies from a county that lias ever been faithful to the Democratic party. But the majortv of regularly appointed delegates must always shape the action of a Democratic convention, and it is not pretended by any one that the supporters ol' Major Menzics were in the majority.

it is a matter ox regret tuautie rosey county delegation withdrew frdftx the convention, and jvc believe they will themselves realise the mistake when they calmly think the matter over. Nothing was to be gained by an adjournment, even if sue’., a iliinghad been possible, but we suppose every one knows that no deliberative body cau cifeet an adjournment until after organization has been established. The nomination of Mr. McCullough was made in perfect conformity to every established usage of the party, and we have no doubt that this view of the case will be heatilv recognized by every Democrat in the First district. There is not the suspicion of a shadow upon his title, and we believe that his election in November is as certain as air thing can be in the future. So far as the Courier is concerned, it shall labor for his success from this hour, and we hope to be j >ined in our efforts by a united Democracy. — Senatorial and Judicial Convet * tioiis* Previous to assembling of the Congrcssioiial convention the following nominations were made: SEXATOKtAI..
