No formal call lias yet been published fjr th 3 assemblies of the retiring Johnston delegates, in convention July 9th, although it is stated that such a call will soon be issued, signed by at least five of the nine county chairmen of the district. The Republican took the ground immediately after the Hammond convention that had the retiring delegates organized a convention at that time and nominated Mr. Johnston, it would have been a move well calculated to cause the - ■ :-• state or national committee to interfere and bring about a settlement. The re-assembling of these delegates now, and their nomination of Mr. Johnston, may have that desirable result yet, but it must be admitted that the chances for it are much less than had they taken their action_atlhe very time they withdrew from the other convention. Mrich of the color of legality which their action would have then possessed, will be wantingnow, because of their not acting at tbe the time and place at which the convention was regularly called.

At the Chicago conference meeting of Johnston Republicans, last week, , ; a committee consisting of N. L. Agnew of Valparaiso, E. W. Wickey, of East Chicago, and B. Borders, of Winamac, was appointed to prepare an address setting forth the reasons against supporting Mr. Landis, for Congross. The address was published yesterday, in the Chicago papers. Viewed from the standpoint of one who desires the settlement of this trouble i<l the harmonizing of differences, we must say that this statement," with its bitterly abusive closing paragraph, will do vastly more harm than go d. It is strange that that conference did not select for this committee men possessed of a little moderation, discretion and good political horse sense.

CHAIRMAN HARLEY’S ANSWER.

Hon. Charles Harley, district committeeman, sent out the following letter last week, in answer to numerous requests for him to call a new convention: Headquarters, 10th District ) Delphi, Ind., June 18, ’94. ) Dear Sir: Yours of - received, I, of course, regard it as unfortunate that there should be any question about a Republican nomination within this district It is unfortunate, also, that a party organization contains no tribunal with delegated power to adjust differences of this character. A convention, once having met in response to a regular call, at given time and p ace, is out of the committee’s hands as soon as it has organized itself. It then becomes complete master of the situation, and its action is final The Tenth District Congressional convention was regularly called at Hammond, Indiana, on May 24. It met at that place on that date and was called to order by me, as chairman of the district committee. It organized itself by the unanimous election of Mr. Wilson as chairman. There my official connection with the convention ended. It was then the sole and final authority to determine a congressional nomination in tlie disiricV A portion of the delecatcs to this convention, dissatisfied with its action, withdrew, but did not organize another convention at that tiui ■ and place under the call. The convention proceeded with its business and nominated a candidate for congress. Its action was final. The onlv person or authority who could undo the work of that convention was its nominee, but the nomination has been accepted, and as chairman of the district committee, all party law i’ nd party precedent compel j • to ri cognize the work of the

convention, meeting regularly in response to a regular call and organized regularly. It is not a question of howmany delegates withdrew, as-there were no rules adopted declaring any certain number to be a quorum. While I regret as deeply and sincerely as you possibly can, that affairs shonld have gotten into such shape as to cause wide differences of opinion among Republicans, you will readily see from this statement of the legal.phase of the case, that I am powerless to in any wise change the result of the convention. —1

CHARLEY HARLEY,

Chairman Tenth District.

LANDIS’S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

The following is the full text of Mr. Landis’s letter, accepting the nomination of the Hammond convention as published last Wednesday: To A. F. Knotts, chairman and othi rs: Gentlemen:—Your letter notifying me of my nomination for Representative in Congress, by the Republican convention of the Tenth Indiana District, which convened in Hammond, the 24th ult., has been received.

After mature deliberation, after carefully weighing all the circunu stances and incidents connected with the convention, and the canvass preceding, I now write you to inform you of my acceptance of the same. That there was the least discord in the work of the Hammond convention, ne one regrets more than I. I still think, had my proposition, thrice made on the day of the convention, to adjourn the convention, with a recommendation that the matter of the selection of a congressional candidate be left to a votejpf the republicans of the district in the various precincts, uncer the Australian system, would have been wise, and would have protected the party against any possible friction; but the proposition was rejected, and the convention proceeded and made a nomination.

In the coming campaign I shall give the party in this district the best service at my command. I am a republican because I have never known how to be anything else. The great principles of the party sank into my heart and mind with the stories of the sacrifice, suffering and death that came from the fields where my father was fighting for the flag, and I rejoice at the vindication of these principles, most ; signal when the goven ment is at the apparent mercy of Democracy. The matchless advancement of the nation from Lincoln to Harrison, was made in the face of the furious opposition of the leaders of the democratic party. These leaders have achieved some notoriety as opposers. They have achieved no fame as builders or promoters. The oft repeated charge of these leaders that the republican party had systematically legislated in the interest of the few as against the many, at last took root, and the result of the November election of 1892, was an emphatic declaration in favor' of democratic policies. What these democratic policies are we can only guess by Democratic promises, for they are not tangible as enactments, are without form and void, while darkness, distress, idleness and bankruptcy, stand in their stead. No fair-minded man can question for a jnoment that the presentcondition of the country is the direct fruit of these Democratic promises, and the threat to keep them. Tricked by these leaders, who now stand helpless, by reason of their own incompetency, the great body of the Democratic party, if not eger to actively assist are certainly most willing to acquiesce in a restoration of the happy conditions that existed under Republican rule. The mass of the people have lost patience with the Democratic party, and this fact will be emphasized at the coming election. These people have learned that finely spun theories do not turn the wheels of factories, and they have grown hungry and weary waiting for the discovery of the “markets of the world” of which they have heard so much and seen so little. Their creed henceforth will be simple and sensible. It will be the creed of the Republican party, embodying the doctrine of protection, reciprocity, honest money, work and wages for all, and condemning mercilessly that system of government spies, which has been organized by the present to track the footsteps of the soldiers who preserved the nation. 1 shall work earnestly and honestly to be elected to the end that a republican shall represent this district in the next Congress. Very Truly Yours, Charles B. Landis, Delphi, Ind., 18, 1894. «
