Third termery was strong in Chicago, hut the traditions of the Republic and constitutional liberty was stronger. The Daily Commercial is a new and very promising newspaper venture at Vincennes, and is deserving of a large and liberal patronage. Congress has passeed a concurrent resolution to adjourn on the 16th inst. This settles the vexed question of adjournment.
Since the Chicago nominations, says a special from Washington, the Hendricks and Hancock booms have taken new life, and their friends will warmly press their claims at Cincinnati. Tilden is considered as no longer a possibility, or oven a probability, and the impression is that new, fresh and strong men will be the Democratic standard bearers this year. Garfield received several congratulatory di.-patches after his nomination, from all parts of the country. Greencastle’s quoto was filled by the following: Grekncasti.e, Ind., June 8. Hon. James A. Garfield: We ere organizing the first Garfield Club of the United States. Score us one. C. S. Hammond. The latest report from Washington is that the Democratic members of both houses have conferred a good deal among themselves about the presidential ticket to he nominated at Cincinnati. There appears to be a general disposition to nominate Seymour for President and Thurman for Vice-president, and the boom for this ticket is of the strongest sort. Leading members declare that there is not the remotest possibility of Tilden’s nomination.
The reception of the news in this city, on Tuesday last, of Garfield’s nomination for President by the Republican National Convention, created considerable ex-
citement and enthusiasm, especially so ! Superintendent Smart, who was defeated
of the Republican party to use all legitimate means to restore all the States of the Union to the most perfect harmony which may be possible; and we submit to the practical, sensible people of the United States to say whether it would not be dangerous to the dearest interests of our country at this time to surrender the administration of the National Government to a party which seeks to overthrow the existing policy under which we are so prosperous, and thus bring distrust and confusion where there is now order, confidence and hope. The Republican party, adhering to the principle affirmed by its last National Convention of respect for the Constitu tional rules governing appointments to office, adopts the declaration of President Hayes that the reform of trie Civil Service should be thorough, radical and complete. To this end it demands the co-operation of the Legislature with the Executive Departin nt of the Government, and that Congress shall so legislate that fitness ascertained by proper practical tests shall admit to the public
service.

VENTION.
LANDEKS AND GltAY HEAD THE TICKET. A I.sii'ko anti llsinnoioMs
Convention.
The Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis, Wednesday, was one of the largest, and, according to the News, the most orderly State Convention ever held in this city. Governor Hendricks was the presiding officer, and J. W. Kern was the secretary. The race for governor was between Frank Landers, Lieutenant-Governor Gray and Judge Downey, and resulted in the nomination of Landers on the second ballot, whereupon Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Gray was re-nominated for the office ho now holds by acclamation. The Statu ticket was then completed by the renomination of the present State officers, with the exception of School
the hope and promise of good times again. In all this we recognize the blessing of God upon our country, and we denounce it as false and blasphemous when partisan leaders claim this is the work of their ha i ds, and that the people suould be thankful to them and not grateful to Heaven for our returning prosperity. 11 We approve the sentiment expressed by Governor Hendricks in his letter of acceptance in 1876, that “the iniquitous coolie system which, through the agency of wealthy companies imports Chinese bondsmen, establishes a species of slavery, and interferes with the just reward of labor on our Pacific Coast, should be utterly abolished.” 12 Our State administration is entitled to the respect and support of the people. The government of Indiana is efficiently administered, anil more cheaply than that of any other State. Iff That wo recognize the right of [colored citizens as well as white to immigrate into Indiana, but we condemn and den mnee the action of the Republican party in importing into this State [ pauper negroes for the sole purpose of
! using them as voters.

Special telegrams received at Wash* ington City from New York goes to show that Kelly has relinquished none of his opposition to Tilden, and that in the vent of the nomination of the latter at Cincinnati lie would probably organize another independent Dcuiucratic ticket against him, or form a more aggressive movement to secure Tilden’s defeat, It is said that as a part of the Kelly plan against Tilden, a pamphlet is about ready to be issued, and 200,000 copies will be sent over tho United States, giving a full record of the Kelley Convention at Syracuse; the peace resolution offered to the Tilden Convention and rejected; the suppressed minority

Attorney General—T. W. Woolen. Supt. of Public Instruction—A. C. Goodwin. The committee on Resolutions reported the following platform, which was
adopted:
1. Wo, the Democracy of Indiana, in Delegate Convention assembled, congratulate the Democrary of tho country upon tho harmony prevailing within its organization, and upon it unaniminity in the purposes to cast behind in every occasion and sentiment of discord, and to stand as one man for success in 1880; and we give assurance to the Democracy
report of the convention, and a variety of ,,lu v ' u assurance io me nomocracy other spicy reading for the delegates and t ^ iu coun,r y that, accepting the dec-
outsiders at Cincinnati. The Washington
Post, in this connection, had an interview witli John Kelley in which the latter, speaking of Tilden’s chances, says his nomination is not probable or even possible. The two-thirds rule will defeat
him.
that
larntion of principles, and purposes, may be made at Cincinnati, and the candidates who may be there chosen, we will give to them our earnest and undi-
vided support.
2. We believe that laws should be enacted, executed and administered only for the public good, and all class-legis-
IMiitf ouii—CuiK’llith-tl. lation, and all favoritism in the affairs of powerful agencies of tho ballot, and all iGovernment,should be defeated and made opinions must there find free expression, odiousjthat taxes should be levied justly, and to this end the honest voter must be and the most rigid-economy should conprotected against terrorism, violence or trol public expenditures; that tho election fraud. And we ptiiim it to be tho duty | must be freed from the control of the
5. We will stand with all our might, against the aggression of tho Republican leaders upon the rights of the States, made for the purpose of building up a strong central power, dangerous to the liberty ot the people. We will in all fidelity maintain the rights and powers of tho United States < and as faithfully we will maintain and vindicate the rights of the States as reserved to them in tho Constitution. 6. The Legislature oi 1879 is entitled to honorable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 1876 to proviue by law for the comfort and safety of laborers in the mines, and for securing their wages to the persons employed by corporations, and we are in favor of such further legislation in the premises as may be necessary and proper. We congratulate tho people of tho State that by the action of the Democrats of the last Legislature in basing representation on population and contiguity of territory only, the shame and taint of fraud have been removed from the apportionment of representation and that now the people will bo fairly and equally represented. 7 The people of Indiana are justly proud of their system of free schools, and will maintain them in their full force and usefulness, and to that end wo must see to it that the management thereof does not become wasteful or extravaTant, and that no part of the munificent fund which they have provided shall be used for sectarian or any other purposes whatever than the support of common
schools.
8 We are gratified that tho Democrats in Congress have acted in respect to bounties and pensions for soldiers and their families in tho spirit of justice and liberality. 9 We hold up to public detestation the conduct of the leaders of the Republicao party in placing Hayes and Wheeler, by criminal practices shocking to every honest sentiment and damaging to our institutions, in offices to which they were not elected. It was an outrage upon free government,and a crime against the elective franchise that can not be forgiven, and must not be repeated, and for which the guilty parties must be driven from power and consigned to inlamy. And we hold up to public detestation the conduct of the President in rewarding the guilty parties by conferring upon them high and lucrative offices. 10 During the pasf few years our country has been blessed in a high degree with favorable seasons, and tho production of our staples has been enormously in excess of our own consumption. We have sold to foreign countries many hundred millions more than we have purchased from them; gold and silver have come to us; business confidence has been restated, ipnd we have
