Some Notes of the Convention.

John Ade, the Keutlaud banker, came over to witness the selection of his sou as a national delegate, and occupied a box in the opera house during the c< nvention. — * — Dr. I. M. Washburn entertained a few friends at dinner convention day in houor of George Ade. The guests included Judge Henry Vinton, of Lafayette, an old eoUejm friend of the author, an 1 several ol Mr. Ade’s friends in R*mi.<si filer Wherever Mr. Ade wa ia'odacvd he impressed all with hi v.n genial manner. A national delegate usually gits admission tickets to the convent in for about three people, and imii ill \ has to prouiis* about a handre*'. and fifty and then disappo ut fhetn all. Mr. Ade says he will try to find seats for the 123 delegates thai voted for him aud Mr. Sills pro poses to to it that the entire party membership in tlie district i> admitted. When it cmu u> getting things from Shelve* oar friends Sills is never out done, and Kit will have ail that is com iug to him. —a The Judges, also, were here in good numbers, aud included J H. ir"Gillelt. orHahVinond. judge of tin snpreme court; Judge Reiter, also • »f Hammond, Judge Henry Vinton, of Lafayette, and last but not lea t Judge Henderson, of Lafayette. He is a judge now in name only, ha' in ’ retired from the pol e judg-ship to practice low. He a - "'WHy * wttts a plug hat pti <te~* *-h+>ovwh.;e ais best efforts as a p.ii tic j ■ ■ eriled forth, aid like F. E. 1) M- .t iley, the loyal Lafayette democrat who dotes his unbroken fai t from t! ie time when jpe wos elect-d Mayor >f his homo city. Iri always w *»“soh > same vest. And the Judge also adorned himseli wi;h a rose in his coat lapel, and Wore his hair Napoleonic style. He Was one ot the couspicu >tis attendants of the convention, x * — There were a large number of •dirorsat the c invention, among them, John M. Mivity, of the Talparsio Vidette, R)bb, of the Michigan City News, Buwser of the Chesterton Tribune, Gregory and Stephenson, of the Warren oounty Seview and Republican, Chas. K. Mnvity, of the Lafayette Morning Journal, Robertson, of the Fowler BepuMican, Birch, of the Oxford Tribune, F. M. Smith, of the Chalmers Dispatch, and Strom, of the Keutland Enterprise. A. J. Bowser, 0t Chesterton, is a state senator, ■UmI served as chairman ot the resolutions committee. The 1900 denmis gave his town a population of 788 people, but the Tribune has lee i a moulder of opinions in that portion of the district during all (he ji .rs Mr. Bowser has been at its lui-a. He has a type-setting

chine and works both day and forces to keep in front of his job hook. And on the side Bowser pla\s a very clever political game, and took a hand in the winniug tight here. .„

The fact that Jasper county allied themselves with the north,end and with the trills supporters seemed to have caused some wonder among some ot the delegates. Several things contributed to this result. The principle one probably was the fact that White and Jasper counties are both in the same representative and senatorial districts. Another is the fact that Jasper county is quite apt to have its associations in state office districts with the central and northern counties, and a thiid that Mr. Sills signified his williugness to cast his vote in the national c invention to suit the wishes of his lOfh district constituents, while Me. Wood wanted his selection to carry unrestricted freedom to vote as he wished without regard to the choice of the majority of the voteis in his district. Of course, when Mr. Wood's friends boldly asserted that bo was opposed to any movement that Congressman Crumpacker favored, and that the Tippecanoe county delegation was more anti Crumpacker than it was anti ad ministration, it was up to the friends of the congressman to accept the challenge. It would seem that Mr. Wood has no one to blame for his defeat so much as himself.
