TERRE HAUTE, APRIL 18, 1891.

TUEAHUREK Husrojf baa at last succeeded in resigning. He issucceeded by E. B. Neboker, of Covington, this State.

IT is now about time for Mr. Cleveland to write another letter. If he has exhausted all other subjects, and his admirers want to hear any more from him, heniigbtsail in on the Mormons for a change.

ANOTHKH crank has made his debut by figuring out the end of the world in March, 1899. It is a good thing fer the world that this kind of insanity is harmless, but it is hardly becoming that the military instructor at Yale College should be afflicted with it, as is the case in this instance.

NI:XT Tuesday the Kopublican League of tbo United States will meet in convention in Cincinnati, with more than oleven hundred delegates in attendance. Charley Power wont be a delegate, although his desire to talk may overcome his conscientious scruples and cause him to scalo the fonce into the republican fold once more.

THK canvass of the Chicago vote has been complotod, and the result is the election of Hempstead Washburn, the Republican candidate for mayor, by plurality. This is the first Republican mayor Chicago has had in fifteen years, and it will be a bonanza for the party workers during the next two years.

IT is most emphatically denied by Mr. Sprecklos that any attemot is being made to restrict theoutputof sugar from his establishment, but that on the contrary his establishment will continue to run to its full capacity. The protection margin on the manufactured article is so small that any attempt to advance prices materially would soon bring the imported to tho rescue of the consumer.

TIIK Italian government has hoard from Mr. Maine onco moro in regard to tho Italian incidont. Tho secretary of stato maintains tho position which he first took, and states his case in such plain language, and backed by the authorities, too, that the Italian ministry will bo compelled to back down—in fact is now looking far a small hele through which it can creep.

A i.o!)o 14 of tho F. M. 13. A. in SQllivan county has .resolved that the last Indiana legislature was a fratidfde nouHcod the acts perpetrated on cne stato, and condemns Representative Beasley for making promises to his constituents which he did not even make an effort to fulfil. When the people of Sullivan county ride over tho democracy in this rough shod way there must be something wrong down thore.

Wii.i) westorn methods seem to still prevail in some portions of Now York city. The other day a gang of toughs nearly killed several men on the street, stripped an inoffensive old man of his rlothos, and hold high carnival generally. Not a policeman was in sight and no arrosts wore MUUIO, although all the oflendors are well known. Had such an affair oooured in the wost the eastern papers would have gone wild over it.

Ax effort is being mado to have the Kansas Alliance send delegates! to tho Cincinnati convention next month and join in the third party movement. The Alliance legislature of Kansas last winter so thoroughly disgusted tholr constituents by their utter failure to carry out promises made during the campaign that It will be a difficult matter for them to maintain their organization at homo, lot alone branch out as a national affair.

THK speeches delivered by President Harrison in his swing around the circle are in pleasing contrast with the utterances oT the platitudinarian whom he succeeded in the White House, and it is gratifying to note that the people of the south have received the president in a manner becoming the dignity and importance of the head of this great nation. Rut theu when it comes to a display of hospitality the south is excelled by no people in the world.

A Xi vvM'ArKii correspondent has been sent out ahead of the president on his southern and western trip to ascertain the feeling toward the administration, and feel the public pulse as to 1892. The trip covers over lH)00 miles and is a big undertaking. The work, however, will bo dona in a very hasty manner, and in the nature of things cannot be very satisfactory. As an advertising scheme it will, however, be quite satisfactory to the piper which has undertaken it.

I1! another colum of this issue will be found the announcement of Mr. C. A. Lowry as a candidate for mayor, subject to the decision of the Republican nominating convtotiou. Mr. Lowry is well known as oae of the most successful young business men in Terr© Haute, and pos#e*s«« all the requirements nso e*»»ry to make a good mayor. Should hi# party confer on him the nomination to-night* It will find in him a man who will command the tuppert of all Republicans and give th«m a clean administration if elected.

Political Polpourri.

DOINGS OP THE VARIOUS POWTICAL PARTIES UP TO DATE.

The political pot is boiling, and it is presumed that when the Republicans hold their convention to-night it will be in a state of a violent commotion.

The Republicans were first in the field and* held their primaries last Monday evening. The attendance was larger than ever before known, whicn shows that all elements are interested and anxious to take a hand in the fight. In the first ward there were 199 votes cast in the second, 137 third, 143 fourth, 135 fifth, 100 and sixth, 165. Th© fight was on the mayor, and the King and antiDanaldson forces worked very hard all day Monday getting oat their forces. The King men had their billots printed in advance, thereby exposing their hand and giving their opponents an opportunity to marshal their forces solidly against his delegates. There was no trouble, however, at any of the meetings. Everything passed off smoothly, and every one seemed pfeased with the .result.

In selecting the candidates for councilmen it seemed to be a bad night for the retiring members, not one of whom was nominated, although the names of all were before the primaries. The following were the nominees:

First ward—Joseph B. Fuqua. Second ward—E. R. Wright. Third ward—Amos R. Gruber. Fourth ward—81 las Hneyd. Fifth ward—Jabez Asbury. Sixth ward—Henry Stuckwisch. The ticket is considered a strong one and will command the strong party strength. The delegates selected to attend the convention in the court house to-nighk are as follows:

First ward—C. A. Waldo, L. S. Briggs, EL C. Davis. J. D. Wilson, S. T. Miller, Geo. Grimes and H. A. Condlt.

Second

ward—Richard Dahlen, J. E. \oor-

hecs, George R. Grime#, C. D. Cowgill, John C. Watson, Fred J. Beil, Emll Froeb and Geo. Caton.

Third ward—J. K. Allen, Joseph Trogdon,' Henry Howard, Tohn H. Vancleve, A. J. Thompson, W. T. Byers and J. W. Mand.

Fourth ward—Jacob Stump, Isaac Ball, George Hammersteln, Joslah Price, William Piper, James Mltcbell and Louis Hoffman.

Fifth ward*-W. A. McFarland, E. Brakeflold, D. P. Downs, W. C. Holmes, Joseph Elder, C. O. Lincoln and George Dickerson.

Sixth ward—Elijah Brewer, Henry Copeland, Thomas Spauldtng, Adam Tressel, Robert Blood, Willi® McDougal and J. N. Shepherd.

The following are the committeemen for the ensuing year: First ward—Lawrence Burgett.

Hocond ward—David Watson. Third ward—J. Q,. Button. Fourth ward—Wm. G. Willlson. FCfth ward—Otto Burgett. Sixth ward—Will Dorsey. The Republican nominating conven tion will be held in the Circuit court room this evening, at whieh time candi dates for mayor, clerk, treasurer and marshal will be put in tho field.

THE DEMOCRATS.

The multiplicity of candidates in the Democratic ranks caused a lively time skirmishing around to control the pri notaries and secure delegates. Among the Democrats worth without work doesn't count for much in the scramble for office, and the man who is the best rostlgfc generally gets $here. ^hat was tlffc experience this tluae. The primaries were held on Tuesday evening, and all the old timers were on hand, together with many novices in suoh work. The consequence was larger meetings than have been known for years. The fol lowing candidates fer councilmen were put in nomination in the various wards:

First ward—John Ii. Wnlsh. Second ward—Nicholas Stein. Third ward—Gcorgo Haller. Fourth ward—Wm. O. Wcldele. Fifth ward—Christian Morlock. Sixth ward—John Diets. The following committeemen were appointed for the ensuing yearjf

First ward—Joseph Watson. Second ward—Thomas H. Hite. Third ward—Charles L. Seeberger. Fourth ward—Edward Drought. Fifth ward—Dan Murphy. Sixth ward—George Mann.

All day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the friends of the varieus candidates worked like beavers for the success of their men. No stone was left unturned, and before the convention met it was generally conceded that Wildy would head the ticket. But as the unexpected frequently happens, so it was iu this case. The favorite was ignored, and the conyention put forward the man who is considered strongest in the light of repnblican votes. When the convention was called to order in the circuit court room Thursday evening the attendance was small, and the proceedings were characterized by an absence of euthusiasm. The mayoralty candidates contrary to expectation, were all in it for two ballots, when Scott dropped out, and Roberts remained till the final result, on the fourth ballot, when Allen was declared the nominee, having received 16 votes to 12 for Wildy and 2 for Roberts. The convention organized by electing B. V. Marshall chairman, and John F. Joyce, secretary. Four ballot*, were taken for mayor, five for clerk, one for treasurer and four for marshal. The following were the nem Inations:

Mayor—James M. Alien. Treasurer—George King. Clerk—Michael Krophy, Marshal—John Tully. No resolutions were adopted, and the candidates go before the people unpledged by the convention. The voter must seek each candidate if he wishes to have his views concerning the Metropolitan bill, high license are redistinct lag the city. rROHinrnoNisnrs.

A few of the faithful gathered together the other night and nominated Bssaleel Holmes for mayor, and James Ctolescott for marshal. It was not a delegate convention, because there were not enough of them to hold primrries, and a fall ticket wan nqt nominated because the*-© wasn't present a sufficient number to go around the office*. No executive committee was appointed, and no money will be spent In the campaign, bat each candidate will make a spirited canvass.

IXDKriOCDKXTS.

At a meeting in the basement of the

court house Tuesday evening the Independents resolved that they wouldn't put a ticket in. the field this campaign. Want of time and the absence of a .party organ were assigned as th® cause. 5

AMUSEMENTS. l"^

THE NATIONAL F&OWER.

The rehearsals are progressing finely, all of the old singers, with one or two exceptions, being on hand at the first rehearsal, full of enthusiasm. Some changes will be made in the cast, on account of sickness, or absence from the city, and quite a number of new features will be added. Mrs. Adams has written a duett for the lawyers, a song, "Four-leafed Clover" (written expressly for Miss Esther Power, of Evansville, who will represent that flower) and a topical song for ts£t funniest of all comedians, Adpjph Gagg. In addition to the new nowsic, several changes and additic^p? will be made in the Roses' March^etc. etc. As the operetta will be given forjthe benefit of theeastand west «9i mission schools—principally the latter—there is quite a degree of interest felt in its production by those directly or indirectly interested in missien work. It will probably be given early in May.

THE MELVILLE SISTERS.

The Melville sisters and a popular company of dramatic stars will open a week's engagement at Naylor's opera house next Monday night, presenting a repertoire of popular plays, with a change of bill nightly. The combination is said to be first-class in every respect, and judging from the appended comment of the Akron Beacon, is entitled to liberal patronage. "This evening the Melville company will conclude what has been a very successful week's engagement at the Academy of Music. The company has played to first rate business during the entire week and has given satisfaction at every performance. The Melville Sisters, from whom the company takes its name, are capable, pains-tak-ing actresses and in many of the standard dramatic attractions which they present, do clever work. Their supporting company is very fair. They deserve the success they have achieved in producing at popularprlces some of the strongest dramas ever written. Many theater-goers in this city has paid 75 cents to see performances of a deal less artistic meflt than those whioh the Melville Sisters give for 10, 20 and 30 cents."
