A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE

Town-Talk.

THAT COSVSJMOX.

The ftgbt must go on notwithstanding tho hot weather. The ftwt gun of the campaign wan fired :wid the key note wa»M to the people of Vigo county thei form upon which would bo fought the coming battle. Aftm week* of toiling t,y this

candidate*, and other* interortod

in which button-holes were worn out, horny-handed and industrious men bored to death, conventions set up, and divers other grievous offences committed, and which are too nwi roua by fiur to r- ~ntiwi, the sun at i) shone out brlg^jr upon the day ushered into existence the convention which was to decide the &t« of very many who had apeat ao much valuable time and filthy lr~r* in making their calling mt* (the elo waa not thought of) belbre that honorable and august body. The Court House was the scene of action, and the time appointed for the opening of the hall, two o'clock last Saturday afternoon. At tho hour let, the eighty-five, upon wboee shoulders ao much had been placed, were assembled around the altar upon* which the victims of misplaced confidence were to be offered up an a sacrifice, while the lookers on were (stationed upon tho surrounding benches, tables, and every thing else upon which they could obtain standing room. All were anxious, though £not quiet by any means tho excitement ran high, and all were impatient tor the opening of hostilities. At last Joseph Gilbert, chairman of the county executive committee, called the assembly to order, ami nominated Dr. Exra Bead as chairman, who is always on hand on audi occasions, and who came forward, and, after the usual ceremonies, announced that the meeting was ready to proceed to business. Joe. Gilbert was appointed secretary, and John Brake selected himself to act as deputy chairman, lite committee on resolutions was appointed and immediately retired for business during their absence delegates to the State convention were appointed, and here it was that the modesty of the delegates was displayed to the greatest advantage. They all considered themselves the most available men in their townships for the performance of those arduous du" which devolve upon delegates to hiaJs conventions generally, and of course appointed themselves and blushingly announced the fact to the as* aembled hosts gathered around them. Such modesty should not have lxvn passed by without recognition, as it tli in most cases, until at last Joe. Gilbert announced himself as a delegate, and brought Patrick W. Haggerty to the front a* one of tho citizens of Harrison township, who was allowed to have his say he gave it mi his opinion that he never saw auch a display ot modesty, as that shown by the delegates in appointing tbewwelvea (the outside audience evidently thought he was Joking hero— and said that so fiur as hia township waa concerned, it would take the responsibility of making its own selection he was of the opinion that tho convention took upon itself responsibilities which were not oonftnred upon it. It waa here discovered that he

WHS

not a delegate,

and it was unanimously decided that he had said all which waa necessary for the good of the came. Things went on smoothly again for a short time until Joe, Blake put in an appearance he is a Democrat^ and iikm nothing but the simon-pure article be took his little pencil and drew up fate lUUe resolution to the efltot that delegates to the State conv*: ''on be instructed to vote for none Ui Democrats, and had It offered by a number, (be waa not one himself) It was promptly referred to the committee on m- i! .ns, and sub# lent pro-eer-^r— iuM~rv*tod it no mvr** forever.

John Brake had his little say W* v*»Uv was for temperance*, he said tlu-y mi-lit jMuw resolutions, but when the time «»me they would me wlio did the voting. Martin llolliuger to get even v. him stood on a ch^r, and in acctuu# wild beaought John to see it in his fight, John sakl he wouldn't, and at the same time reminded him that he had been ©ievnt I to his present position (not in the cl^ur) by the democracy, and that now he wished to ascend still higher (go to Oongreaa) but that he would fiiil to find the requisite number of votes, or woyds to that effect. Things were getting quite lively, and to those who were disinterested it was quite entertaining to behold how this happy fiutnily conducted Itaelt Finally tho resolutions were adopted by a vote of fortyeeven and a half to thirty-seven and a half and there waa nothing said about making it unanimous, all of which goes to show that the Democracy arc not quite so much opposed to temperance as some of their leaders opposed. They insisted that tho Kepublicans would have all the opposition In their rank* to it, while they would glide along without the least difficulty. Oh dear! what turns things do sometimes take. After the resolutions had been dh»pg«»d of, the order of nominations were announced, whereupon Haggarty turned to Barrett, winked, and remarked, "I told you so." Barrett didn't exactly see through it until after Kelly had been nominated, when light began to dawn upon his understanding. Kelly claims to be an Irishman, and so does Barrett the former was born in the State of Ohio, while the latter was born on the "ould sod." Barret is an Irish American and Kelly is an American Irishman. Of course Kelly is more of an American thifn Barrett, so was to be preferred to him. If the democracy must nominate an Irishman they want him nftor their own fashion as ranch as posai' ., so they took him. Of course the Republicans are jubilant oyer it. The same mistake made by tho Democrats two years ago elected the opposition ticket, and they hope it will do the same for them this year.
