TENTH DISTRICT.

Convention at Logansport Nominates an Able Man. The Populists of the Tenth District met in convention at Logansport, on Thursday of last week for the purpose of placing a ticket in the field. The meeting was one of harmony and was ably presided over by the district chairman, Frazier Thomas, of Carroll county. Upon call the following nominations Nvere made: Frazier Thomas, of Caroil; C. E. Carter, of Cass; J. B. Milroy, of Carroll; S. M. Hathorn, of Carroll; A. S. Surface, of Carroll, and D. B. Nowels, of Jasper. Thomas, Carter and Nowels declined the nomination. It was necessary to cast three ballots before a decision was reached, and the final vote resulted in favor of S. M. Hathorn, of Carroll county. Those attending the convention from this county were as follows: D. H. Yeoman, Thos. Robinson, Geo. Vincent, C. G. Austin, J. A. McFarland, M. M. Tyler, D. B. Nowels, M. I. Adams, W. H. Ritchey, Ad Robinson, Frank Robinson, John Nichols, W. B. Yeoman, L. L. Ponsler, Chas. Stackhouse and Stimson. Mr. Hathorn is a man of fine physique, good address, and has a liberal education. He is a minister of the gospel in the Christian church, and has a pastorate which pays him SI,OOO a year. He believes that all religious poople should come to the front and lift American politics out of the slums and the bum element of society, and place it on the high plain of justice, morality and fraternity. There is not a Populist in the 10th District who will not be proud of him when they once hear him speak. He is amply able, and also willing to meet in joint discussion any candidate who may contest with him for the suffrages of the people of this district. Every old party man should hear him. He will tell you of the wrongs you suffer and which you help to perpetuate, so plainly and logically that you must admit the truth of it, and yet he will do it so kindly and pleasantly that it will actually make you feel good to listen to him.
