Kyocuil to Iho (jfu/.llle, Indianapolis, April 19.

Democracy,, unterrifiad and unwashn ed, is here in force. You will find them—or it, tho gender and number unimportant—on the streets and in the corridors of the hotels. If you go up to a group you will find them discussing the situation with a charming dissimilarity of opinions, and reaching conclusions as far apart as the poles of the earth. This was especially notice able yesterday afternoon and eveningwhon delegates came in fresh from the people with their cross roads panaceas for all the ills of the body politic in thair crude and native state. Discussion toned them down a little, but it is still possible to hear them reaching the conclusion that there is not enough currency in the country, from tho per* sonal premise that they have not enough in their own pockets. A strong undercurrent, however, of sound money doctrine is noticed among the more thoughtful and least noisy portion of the delegates. They do not talk much, but the presumption is a fair one that they make up for that deficiency by the amount of thought they bestow upon the subject.

The afternoon train from Terre Haute yesterday contained a large number of delegates from Vigo, With a f°\v from Sullivan and tho counties south

the E. & C. Railrbad. During

the trip, it occurred to that staunch and reliable Democrat, Major General D. C. Greinor, to poll the traiu and ascertain the preferences of the delegates for the rival candidat.es for the Gubernatorial chair. Forty-seven were for Holman, thirty-five,for Landers, one for Voorhee.s, and thirteen were noncommitted.

IIOLSF AN A3 A COQUETTE.

Holman's friends have labored at a disadvantage in presenting hi3 claims, from the singular coquetry ol the Judge. Conflicting reports have been recoived from him for several weeks past, in regard to his candidacy, as the readers of the GAZETTE are already aware. Yesterday brought its two dispatches lrom him. It is difficult to tell lrom them what the distinguished gentleman will do. He seems willing to accept the nomination, and then again, appears averse to making the race. He i3 a candidate, and he is not a candidate. But the

conflict

While I RIM not a candidate for Governor, yet, as my friends are pressing me for the nomination, I refer the matter entirely to them, and their action will be satisfactory.1 *£5 W. S. flor.MAN.

By the time his friends had started to work for him on the supposition that it meant he was a candidate, another

dispatch

Washington, D. C., April 18.

Judge Roberts, Col. Bnrkam, D. S. Bursin,Bates House: I have never been a candidate for Govoruor I trust my friends will not bring my name before the convention. I urge conciliation. I could only consent if our friends generally believed it best for all, but do not allow my name to be used to produce discoed

War. S, HOLMAN.

This dashed their spirits. J$ut if that is Holman's way of treating the question, Landers leaves no doubt in the mind of anybody about his being in the field. He has taken rooms at the Hotel Bates and what with countless boxes of election cigars in the outer chamber and a vessel resembling a jug, filled prob-» ably with butter milk, in the" innesanctuary is doing his level best to corral the convention.

The Peru delegation brought with them from their native wilds, a band of music, with a picturesque uniform patterned after the costume of joseph about the time his biethren objected to in as

RESEMBLING A SCARECROW.

This much bedizzened band, bubbling over with patriotism and anxious to display itself marched in the afternoon to the Bates House accompanied by a motley crew of street garomios and tendered the Hon. Franklin a serenade.

He responded in a speech, in which he reiterated his unfaltering devotion to the people, and expressed a desire and determination to make them all rich by giving them plenty of greenbacks.

An impression seems to prevail that the Democracy will carry the elections next October. No better idea of this can be conveyed than by giving the formidable list of

Delegates were chosen to the National Convention, an elector and contingent was selected, and a central committeeman. No interest attaches to this business outside of that done in the EIGHTH DISTRICT which is as follows:

Hon John Robinson, of Owen county, was chosen chairman, and P, T. Luther, of Clay county si tary.

Hanna as a delegate to the national convention from the state at large, and J. W. Kern of Howard, for secretary. Congressional convention to be held at Terre Haute May 18,1876..

A lively time was experienced in the deliberations of the eighth district. Among the nomina* tions as delegates to the National Convention, Hon. John T. Scott's name was presented meeting. The name aroused the ire cf P. W, Hagerty, who, it seems, cherishes some resentment against the Judge and he jumped to his feet and wanted ta know of the members if they intended to send to the National Con vention a worshipper of the golden calf. To this, the Judge made reply,

-s,»

.v1:'

concluding by stating that Mr. Hagerty deserved no consideration at the hands of the meeting, he having been a bolter from the party nomination. This was intended to SOOTHE MR. H., BUT INSTEAD OF BE

ING OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS it was kerosene on live coals, and Hagerty jumped to his feet in a quadrilateral of cxplot-ives, denouncing the Judge ns a liar. It began at this point to look as if the memorable scenes at Finnigan's wake were about to be revived, but friends interfered. Hagerty admitted that he had scratched Scott's name off' the Dern* ocratic ticket, and after a time peace reigned in Warsaw, or rather in the eighth district meetiug.

THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS met in the evening. A number of different sets of resolutions were sent into the committee for their conaidti eratiou. We will send you by telegraph, the resolutions adopted'by the convention, oqly premising that the set adopted by the committee at their meeting, with only a few verbal changes in it, and excepting tho last three resolutions, was sent to them by Governor Hendricks, aud is the result of his handiwork, and that of his friends and advisors.

Col. Dowling sent in a set to the committee, which are too good to be lost to the world, and we give them here, though they were not adopted:

Col. Pauaccu For Panics. Resolved. That the best mode of reaching special payments does not consist in retiring the greenbacks now in circulation, and thereby unsettling the business and trade of the !country, but rather in a system of rigid economy in itae departments of the GOA'-ernment-2-non appropriations for works ot

real necessity, in the cur

tailment of salaries, in the abolishment of useless offices, in the honest collection of the natianallrevenuos, in individual plainness of living, and in keeping the hands of official thieves aud plunderers out of the vaults of the Treasury. Above all. wo want a resumption of honesty and fidelity in the administration of National affairs, such as marked the early history ot the Republic, when neither political moth nor rust did destroy, nor did thieves break in and steal, 2. That the late dev^U

UltllBlltp^)/ nor—

uigtiTjffciat crroles, 'even in

the shadows ot tho National.: Executive, is an alarming evidence that a change of ^lministralion *a%»pGriouBly demanded for tho public safety Fxom the Cabinet Minister to the.whis-key-guager from the President's^ Secretary to the Military Post Trader, who robs tho poor soldier on the frontier from the Assessor of Internal Revenue to the whisky distiller, the country witnesses the same lack of official honor and the same debasement of private morals. As has been well said by an Independent editor, '"the shores of the political sea are strewn in all directions with the wrecks ot ruined reputations. Men holding the highest positions have fallen in a day to the lowest depths of infamy, and, in some cases, to a felon's cell." The people may well ask, Men and brethren, are there no remedies for these things?

That local self Government by tho States, with sultrage to the toiling millions, educated and enlightened, will gaard the rights of all citizens more securely than the centralized power in the hands of a party. We reject the dogmas of a strong Government in regulating the affairs oi a free people. We demand for lhe individual the largest liberty, consistent with peace and public order for the State the control ot her own institutions and laws and for the Nation the fidelity and loyalty of all her sons. 4. That the Democrats of Indiana are not insensible, or forgetful of the early traditions and principles of tbeir political faith, but they cannot as a party ask what is now practically impossible—a return to an exclusive metalic currency. For the sake of the country, and the safety of the people, we dare not subject the business of tha

Nation and State to the rapacity and greed of the gold-mongers, and money changers. We say to all such: We will come to specie payment when wo can. There in no use in talking about it now. Yon have not got the gold and you cannot get it in one, two three or four years. We might as well quit talking about that for the time being. Tha people want a little more currency. They believe it will be good for them, and. we believe it. We believe it will revive business all over the Nation.- We believe that business will spring up under the influence of a promise like that, just as the grass and flowers will grow under the spring showers." 5. That our system of Common Schools, as a cherished institution of the State, owes its success to the noc* partizao character of its early founders and advocates, and like the guarantee for religious toleration, had its origin in the eulightened and wise policy of the Democratic party that we believe, it is the duty of the State to provide for the education of all its children that it is the inalienable right ©f every man to worship God according as his conscience shall dictate, and no political disabilities should be incurred by reasons of religious opinions, and we deprecate all attempts to raise sectarian Issues 'a politics, as wicked and miscbie .•» and against the teachings of the constitutions and the spirit of true religion itself. 6.

Mr. EdgertoB, of Fort Wayne, also sent to tho committee Bome resolutions which were not adopted, but which deserve publieity lhrough the GAZETTE because they sc "%tly express its opinion of sound, ola rcshiondd, Democratic doctrine, f-

TERRE HAUTE, INK: WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 19. 1876. PRICE 5 CENTS

Mr, Edger(on!g Resolutions. Resolvod. That the present depression in the business, and the financial embarrassments of the country, are the consequences of the errors and crimes of tne Republican party, and of its disregard of just and honest principles of government and of finance, and that there can be no relief until that party shall cease to rule.

That the Domocratie party is, and of right, ought to be, the party of the constitution, but to be such, ii, must declare with tbo constitution that "The Congress shall have power to coin money," and to "regulate the value thereof," and "To borrow money on the credit of the United States," and it must, and does hereby declare,

That tho coined money of the Constitution, and of the law, is not a paper dollar, nor any kind of a promise to pay, but that the money unit of the United States is a dollar end that dollar here, and in the history of account with other nations i3 twen ty-iive and eight-tenth grains of standard gold and that it is not, in the language of a packed United States Court, an "ideal thing."—

Resolved, That a legal tender note, used as a substitute for a dollar, represents a forced loan from the people, made when the Government could not "borrow money on the credit of the United States."—

That the reasou mony could not then be thus borrowed, was, shat tho Republican yarty feared to incorporate with the creation of the debt tho means hf extinguishment.

That the issue of legal tender notes, without any provisions for redemption or extinguishment, caused their dopriciation and an injudicious eularged expenditure and extravagance in all public and private affairs: th-* invertable result of wh:ch is now exhibited in murmers, and disatisfaction, and in demands for remedies which no government can provide.

Congress, it is true, can tax us and borow on the credit of the Unitet States, and thereby absorb os more deeply mortgage, tne resources of the country.

That now to require economy in national expenditure, and, at the same time, to demand an additional issue of legal tender notes "to meet the wants of trade," are inconsistencies wbica an intelligent and honest people shou'd not sustasn.

That withdrawing the national bank currency from circulation, and its consequent surrender to the United States Treasury, will not, of itself, put one dollar of legal tender notes in circulation. An increase of such notes can result only from increased expenditure by the general Gove.nment, or the purchase of other forms of national indebtedness.

That as the profits of nearly all the industrial pursuits of the country are now absorbed by taxes and high rates of interest, a reduction in both is the only remedy which the country, can .kMiu orntunonest party can promise.

That the people must extinguish all debts which exist, and avoid contracting more and must shr.n the delusion that a government which creates no values, produces nothing, but consumes tho money of the people, can eltbor fiiruish them bread or pay their debts.

r®"3534*® Special Telegram INDIANATOLIS, April 19.—2 v. jr. The convention met promptly at 10 o'clock this morning, in the Acadeuay of Music. Every seat on the floor was filled, tho galleries were packed, and the spacious stage was crowded with reporters and other distinguishedipersons, including the officers of the convention.

Judge Thomas R. Cobb, of Knox county, was unanimously selected chairman of the convention, aud in a few words, thanked the convention for the honor conferred. John W. Kern, of Howard, was appointed Secretary:

The first business in order being the selection of delegates to the national con vention, from the State at large. The report of the Committee on Permanent zanization was read. The delegates •a'Elected are, M. E Kerr, of Floyd, J.

McDonald, of Marion, B. W. Hanna, of Vigo, and General M. D. Manson, of Montgomery. The contingents are Col. Charles Denby,*of Vauderburg, Win. Flomiog, of Allen, J.

Vice Presidents of the convention were selected. Dr. Rice, of Park being chosen from the eighth.

then

called for, [John R. Coffroth, of Tippecanoe, came forward amid applause, and read the following resolutions.

Platform

The Democracy of Iudiana declare their fidelity to all the provisions of the federal constitution, to a perpetual union of the states to local selfgovernment in every section, to all public trusts and obligations, to the honest payment of the public debt, to the perservation of the public faith, to the maintenanco cf the free schools, aud to the pure and econimical administration of the federal, state and municipal governments. They contemplate with alarm the distress that prevails, the wide-spread financial ruin that impends over the people and tne corruption that pervades the public service, and they charge that these evils are the direct results of the personal government,

unwise

expressly delegated to

the United States of America in Congress assembled. This wholesome doctrine of the constitution and the ancient Democracy sanctioned by

Jef

S IS 5

Mitchell, of Elkhart aud G- W. McConnell, of Steuben. The Presidential electors chosen, were D. W. Voorhees, of Vigo, and S. Scobey, of Decatur.

U. That retrenchment and eoouomy are indispensible in federal, state and municipal administration, as an essential means towards lessening the burdens of the .'people, and we commend the efforts of the majority of the House of Representatives for the reduction of the expenditures of the federal government to a just standard, and their determination to lessen the number of useless offices. 4. Webeleive in ourancientdoctrine that gold and silver are the true and safe basis for the currency, aud we •n inf&-ror of measures and' policies that will produce uniformity in value in the coin and paper money of the country without destroying or em* barrasing the business interests of the people, and we oppose the contraction of the volume of our paper currency, but declare in favor of the adoption of measures-looking to the gradual retirement of the circulation of the national banks and the supply of its place by circulating notes issued by authority of the gdvermeil t. 5. We recognize witn patriotic satisfaction the vast recuperative energies with which our country is endowed, and we obserye that in spite of the constant interferences with the laws of commerce which has improved in proportion as wealth has increased, and the sense of national and local security has been confirmed. We are therefore, of the opinion that a natural return to specie payments will be promoted by the increase of national wealth and industries, by the assurance of harmony at home and peace abroad, and by strengthening our public credit under a wise and economical administration of our national affairs. 6. The legal tender notes constitute a safe currency, aq^one especially valuable to the debtor classes, because of its legal tender quality. We demand the repeal of the legislation enacted by I vote, the Republican party providing tor its withdrawal from circulation and the substitution therefore of national bank paper. 7. The act of Congress for the resumption of specie payments on the 1st of January, 1870, was a party measure devised in secret caucus for party ends, and forced through the House of Representatives without the allowance of amendment or debate under party discipline it 'paralyzes industry, craates distrust of the future, turus the laborer

upon a sounn basis, having a regard for the Interests and welfate of the whole people, and not a class, and the racognition of the final set* tlemeut of all questions submitted to the arbitrament of the sword to unite with them, they declare 1. That the civil tervico of the government has become corrupt, and is made the object of personal gain, and that it is the first duty which the

people

owe to themselves and the

government, to restore the tests of

honesty,

capacity and fidihty in the

producer out of employment, is a standing threat upon business men, and'should at once be repealed without any condition whatever, 8. As Democrats, we may indulge in laudable pride at the great success of our common school system, which had its origin in Democratic policy, and its development in Democratic measures. We will stand by and forever maintain our constitutional jprovisioli which guarantees our common school fund from diminution and misappropriation and its use only to support non-secta-rian common schools, and we denounce as enemies of the schools the Republican politicians who, for party ends, have sought to bring them into political and sectarian controversy. 9. We believe that a licenser law properly guarded is the true principle in legislation upon the liquor traffic. 10. That the Democracy of Indiana reconize with pride and pleasure the eminent public service of the Hon. Thomas Hendricks. In all public trusts he has been faithful to duty and in his public and private life pure and without blemish. We therefore declare that he is our unanimous choiqe for the Presidency of the'United States. 11. That the jurisdiction of the United States Courts in civil causes has been extended so aa,to become a burden to the people by increased c&sts in said courts and forcing citizens to try itheir causes ac the capital of the states or places distant from'tbeir homes, instead of the county where th«y reside. 12. That we are opposed to the Congress of the United States assuming the payment of the debts of the District of Columbia, as contracted by the late corrupt ring, and we believe the Uni ted States government should pay her equal share and just proportion for improvements made in said district, the same as other owners of property are liable for and have to pay, and no more. 5 5

Who has called at the Opera House Clothing Store is delighted. First, not only at the elegant and handsome arranged room, but second, particularly at the idea to find the handsomest and largest line of Men's, Boy's and Children's Clothing ever exhibited in this city, and Third to find prices way down below their expectation.

Look to your interest, examine goods and prices all around, and then convince yourself that the best placc is

election of persons to fill all public positions. 2. The repeated exposures of corruption in the administration of every branch of public affairs call for continued and thorough investigation not only that corrupt practices may be brought to light, and guilty parties to punishment, but als,o that it may be made clear to the people that their only remedy for reform is by making a general aud thorough change.

Mr. uanders appeared in the gallery and demanded his name be withdrawn, for the reason that he had from the first, intended, and did now intend, that his

name and Judge Holmans should not be before the aonvention together. This news met with cries of "No, no," lrom all parts of the house, and much confusion ox isted for some time. At this point the name of Hon. D.. W. Voorhees was presented as a compromise candidate.
