We have received, but too late ■.‘or pubbeation this week, the official call for the Senatorial and JadieiaH conventions, the = ; times and places for holding which have already been published. The call will appear next week. A personal article in last week's Remington News, by its proprietor, Mr. Mclntire, in partial answer to the questions in The Republican of two gard to the Hoover matter, requires a more extended notice than circumstances will permit us to give this week, And we shall take occasion to recur to the matter, at a later date.

President Cleveland, was martied last evening to Miss Frances Folsom. Previously published accounts of the preparations for the event indicate that it was conducted in a simple and commeudibly sensible manner; in marked contrast, in that respect, to the gorgeous extravagance and regal cere* monies of the state dinners and pt her entertainments given by Mr. Cleveland, heretofore. , The Message of May 19 th says: “In the entire vote of the three punties [Benton, Jasper and Newton] “there was a plurality of 59 votes against Mr. Thompson.’ Mr. Thompson had a plurality in the three counties of 285 votes. . In the same paper of May 26th it says:. “Will it be expedient to io experiment with the other Republican candidate” [referring to Mr. Thompson] who was defeated in these counties for Prosecutor in 1874?” Mr. Thompson had the plurality given above in these Ihiye counties, and in the district S elected by nearly 600 plurality.

It would be a fine specimen of “poetic j uttice” if internal dissensions among the democrats should result in the election of a majority of Republican Congressmen frotn this state, in spite of the gerrymandering legislation of last year. Hi" prospeete for sueh ft result are surely encouraging. In the 12th district, where Judge Lowry has been renominated, a bitter contest between candidates has resulted in a bolt, and a convention of anti-Lowry men has been called, to nominate an independent candidate. Tn the Indianapolis district, which held its convention last week, another intensely bitter fight between rival candidates has already resulted in the nomination of a bolting candidate, The feeling between the contending factions in bollji these districts seems to be too intensely hostile to promise any hope of reconciliation.

The editor of the Message has been privately circulating the statement, especially among old soldiers, that Ex-Governor Porter intends to be a candidate for United States Senator, against General Harrison, and that S.P. Thompson was one of his superiors, and yesterday an article was published in the Message based on arf alleged report in political circles that Mr. Porter lias determined to be a competitor for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. This whole' matter is an invention M the malignant brain of the editor of the Message, and is the first step in a new scheme by which he hopes to injure Mr. Thompson. But it will not succeed. Mr. Porter is himself a warm friend and supporter of Gen. Harrison, and does not dream of contesting with him for the Republican nomination for the Senatorship; the’same can be said of Mr. Thompson; and every--where in the state there is absolute unity of sentiment among Republicans in favor of Gen. Harrison as the only Republican candidate for the Senator-ship. The editor of the Message has been trying to spring something which would “do up” Mr. Tliomjison. It is now pretty evident that he has in mind an intention to attempt to prejudice the minds of Republicans, and especially Republican soldiers, with an attempt to make it appear that Mr. Thompson, and his strongest friend, Judge Hammond, are against Gen. Harrison.
