The following convention notes arc taken from the Indianapolis Journal. Venom is flan# In dtiC.tstonally, but it in the newsiest account we have seen, not being hampered by any tear of showing partiality, and besides Democrats can afford 10 laugh at the flings of an organ of a party which is sure to be beaten:
Indianapolis, January
18.
Notwithstanding the near approach of the date for holding the Democratic State Convention, the hotel* and o'her places of resort where politicians are wont to resort, were base and quiet last night. Most of tne candidates were at their quarters in the, hotels, but even these additions to the regular guests did not notticeably swell the crowds in the lobbies an corr dors, except at the Bates House, where, from toice of habit, they most congregate." A great influx of "workers" is expected to-day, however, and by to-night the confusion and noise incident to the movement of candidates and their hosts of frien is will be at their higUt.
It Is too early yet, of C3UPe, to speak with any degree ot certainty concerni the probable work of the convention, but there does not appear any reason for Changing the opinion that the "ring" slate heretofore given in these Columns -should be broken—via., Secretary of State, David S. Gooding': Auditor ot State, Mahlon D. MatfOft Treasurer of State, John J. Coop«r.
The other officers. Aitorney-General and Superintendent of Public.lnstruction, have not received the attention of the ing, and, in t#ie language 6f Peter Cagger to the "Albany Regency," they will "let the convention nominate these officers." Of course they have their choice, but don't propose to push matters too hard oft the party.
Gooding's principal competitors are 'john'R.Cravens and Gil Shanklin, but the latter has everlastingly ruined hi« 'dhftneesby entering into an arrangement, with several brash candidates for 'Ihe other offices, to relieve the party of the "old barnacles,' as they term them.
Ad. Armstrong, of Kokomo, candidate for Auditor, and H. H. Walker, of Michigan City, candidate for treasurer, are the prominent advocates of the proposed new order of things.
Gen Manson's nomination is a foresgone conclusion, although Ad. Armstrong is making a good Tacts but the fact that he cannot secure the undivided support of his Congressional dihuu^UiWiU hurt him.
The big fight n* over the nomination for Treasurer, and tne fie'.i is a strong pne. John D. Williams may be counted out because of his locality Mansoo's nomination kills him. After Shannon, Cooper *nd Fleming Tare strongest, -and they are engaged an cutting each othei throats. Fleming has got a crowd of workers already in the field, and the «b stinate persistence with which they regard Cooper as a candidate of the ring would be ata.'vzingto anybody but a Bernocrat.
For the other offices, W. R. Harri«on, ot Morgan, willl, in all .probability, ttuve a walk over for attorney general, and Prof. Smart, tthe present incumbent. :is ^uperintendeut'Of public instruction. The nly opponent to the latter who i- toakng any hea i«way at all d* Alex. Hopkins, of Howard countv, wh© is ch eflv, if not altogether, known because he is the con Ot" father.
Theanti-ringsters and Ragged Reubens are making stenuous efforts to break the slate given abeve and us a dernier rc«ert have sent on for Voirhees, who will here to-night. Fresh from the scenes of his Senatorial triumphs, and with the halo cf his silver sptecl* yet surrounding him, the Ragged iReubens hope he may be potent to mould the convention at will. But he has a nig contract on hand, and his appearance will precipitate a iriaugular fi ht among the delegates. l« any event, the ring promise* to be ail powerful, 'i ho coating of Voorhees is is believed bv some to be a scheme o:i
sacriiice his friends—"tlie Swallowtails —for his own selfish ends. As is known, "his straddlency" has been selected to preside over the convention and without some such fool as Voori.ees, might be obli Jged to make a speech. With D. there he c.m very easily slide out of that, and thereby fiee himself of the danger of comnvtiiiig himself. In his recent interview in the Cincinnati Commercial he went so far as to say that he •had'* thought silver shou-H lie remonetized, but the conve.uicn might, want to know what he thinks "now," and th^t »»ould put Tnomas in a very embarrassing and unpleasant situation Voorhees was a happy inspiration, and his coming will be a vast relief.
PERSONAL.
•It
ncae keeps c!Ose guard over a mouth that sorbing interest in say# nothing. He is faid to be taking no'
part in the arrangement of things lor to the convention, but he will doubtless turn up afterwards as chairman of the State Central Committee.
Senator Bell is leaderofBiil Fleming's cohorts, and is breathing red-hot maledictions on the "ring," unless it will support the Summit Citv statesman In which ca«e#he is in favor of the "ring
Ad. Armstrong has imported Willed Nash all the way from Maine to champion is cause with the boys. JNo belter man could be selected for doing effective work in a fair field ih in Willjr J, but he will find the 'hoss'eves sot." "We're sorrv for him—and Armstrong.
It will probably .-»t John S. Williams more money for the extremely small amount of satisfaction that he will derive from the convention than any other unsuccessful candidate. It seems a pitv that the man who made Jimmy Williams Governor should be sacrificed, but the decree ha* gone torth.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Up to this writing really nothing has been done, and il is very dr ubtful if anybody can form anything of an idea about the result Candidates are more numerous than ever before in the history of the paity, and this lact serves to mix matters. Each one claims:, or it is claimed tor him bv his friends, that ht* C'tance3 a.-c excelleut. This is, of course impossible, but it id nevertheless *ruc that such claims are made. It seems to be a irt of the traJe of prlitic*, As s?o:i as a rson confesses that he is "boat," people are likely to take him at his vord, and go to walking on and over his political corpse.
So far the town has not filled up fo any remarkable degree, but it is expected that to-dav the crowds will come. Eveiybody seems to feci, or at least everybody says, that the convcn'.ion will be the biggest ever held. '"Everybody may be right in this, for it is generally understood that what "everybody"' says must bj true, though it ii tar trom my purpose 0 say «o,
I have been lo a great many conventions ofonekindor anoth-r, and havis won any number of Terre Haute people her^ but I do not remember to have ever seea so many as are congregated here now. It dos not seem to be confined to anyone party. Democrats ate here in the greatest pftyfcisitan That was to have been. expected. Thefe is a ctowd of them in the corfidots of all the hotel--, although the main headquarters is at the Kates. There they arc a* thick as flies around the bung hole of a molasses b-irrel. The sitnil^ may not be eleg int, but it ii a vivid orre and to my own mind is filled with an idea cf .swarming num1 hers Which is jast what I wish to convey. The evident disposition *1 to help Shannon, and t.iey are talking up his claims for the nomination vigorously. But this does not end trish the Democrats. Republican.', too, are here,on the same errand, and are assist•i.ig their Democratic friends in aciisting a Terre Haute man. This is -s marked, and has been 60 weH observed before, viz., the disposition •of Terre Haute people to be »Oi* our 'townsman, under any and all circum stances, atjd ii respective of party that it, has attracted attention.

In the race «br Treasurer cf state the three leading candidates are Shannon, Fleming ot"For, Wavne, and Cooper, of thiseointv. At the time I write it is generally believed that Shannon's chances are the be»t of these three. He has- a large number of cojnties already pledge4 and is working like a beaver in other®.

the convention. It
publishes a great manv unfair and untrue things but its reports are the raciest and best of any that come to the Gazette. We reproduce the following forecasts
The hotel corridors were crowded last night with the hosts of the Democracy and every indication points to the proba bility of a gathering of gigantic propor tions. During the day many delegations had arrived, and all the prominent candidates had large numbers of friends working vigofously in their behalf The can didates1 'headquarters at the ites,Grand and Occidental yvere the scene of grave consultations, bargaining, schemes and plots but nj very markei cha-ige a pears at present to have resulted therfe from. It is on all hands admitted that G. neral Manson's nomination as i-ta'e auditor is almost a foregone conclusion some of thi verv sanguine ones prophes/ even that he will be chosen on the first ballot, and the general hi,n elf i, .v-on ably confident of his succes Indeed, the chances appeared sj greatly in hi favor that he seemed to have lost a good deal of the fun of the fight, and was keeping himself somewhat more than usual in retirement. He says that under any circumstances, .vhether or not he be nominated as a CanJid&te, he will not again accept the chairmanship of the State Central Commi'tee. As to his successor in th it po. sition there is a good deal of reticence but it is reasonably certain th it the choice will fall upon a man not no a member ot the state committee, and the name of J. A. S. Mitchell, of Elkhart, is most talked ot ir. that connection.
Judge Cravens and David S. Gooding are said to have about equal chances for the secretaryship, but the hopes of the latter were considi. rably blighted at the result of the choice ot Marion delegates. Dave had expocteJ to have gained some strong support in that artcr, bat failed utterly in his expseta L.is. When asked, late in the evening, how his chances stood, he replied, "A'l right," but he didn't talked with his usual vim, and thje quiet, subdued manner in which he bore himseli showed hj was troubled in his mind. Goojing ough», hoyvever, to be satisfied, even if he does not get thi nomination, for he ts having lo:s ol fun ut of the candidature. He ought to be a hap-( py man when he is able to ventilate his views and pour forth a flojd of eloquence hour after hour without a let-up. He may never again ive such an p.»i tui.ity of telling all he knows. Let him make the best of his time within the next twenty f? ir hours, and pour forth wislom into the .a-» 01 every man he can get to li-t^n to hi-.n.
Fleming wa, last night COn3i lered the strongest man f. treasurer, and lie is moving heaven aad earth, so to upeak, to make his pledged supporters stick. Whether how succeed is thought by many somewhat doubtful. He has carried his opposition to Superintende.il Smart to s.i li an extent as to arouse the ire of some of that gentleman's friends, and the fisht for the treasureship is likely to "be the liveliest contest of the convention, unless some mark^l c'jangc takes jjlacv within a few hou.s in the seniim",it$ 01 the delegates. Cooper stands second on the list, but the Marion county delegation is nut entirely solid in his bchali, and some of its memocr* will go into the convention practically unpledged aflt the first ballot.
When it was announced last night that almoRt the entire Marion delegation was pledged for Will A, Peele for secretary of tate and Frank Trissal lor at'orneygeneral, something like a commotion was oc asioned. Such a result was scarcely antici{Mited. It becamj e.i lent at 5*1 ce that tne youiger el -ment of the pafrty hai been putting in its work, and makii^g its iruffluie»ee telt. This action gives Peele abetter position before the tonverition, ftiut may place him among'the stronger candidates. Frank Trissrfl and Wm. 0.i Foley each »av tha' they have thdresupport throughoui the state than'(hey had anticipated Foley builfls h're hopes on netting a-show attc* Fleming and Cobper are titled off.
A private telegram was received b/ a genileman in the city, last ni^ht, intim 1tingthat it woald bi difficult Yor Senator Voorhees to lea'Ve Washington at the present time. It r8 very doubtful if he will be at the Convention and his absence will make tne success ot Judge Cravens measurably an easy task. •About a tltiv !ii candidates are jlding themselves in readiness to entsr tlie lists 'f ir Miperiniend nt oi public instructio 1, «lioul 1 Mr. ^m iri he di f^.ited by tne 'nomination of Fleming, of Allen, Treasurer. They will not themselves oppose Smart, but want to be in the field as soon as he is out ol the way Profcs•sor Goodwin of Clark county, is the latest name mentioned in this connection.
During yesterday a very pretty fight was developed between the friends of ^nannon and Ed. Henderson. The latter was decidedly out ot sorts ovor the idea put fourth that he was practically out of the fight, and by some means came to the conclusion that the report originated with Shannon's strikers. Last night, Henderson's supporters were very vehemently stating that he was in the fijbr. and would be there long alter Mr.Shannon who was really then a "dead cock in the oit," had reiired. Hendtrson's friends are using the story telegraphed Sunday from Te rc Haute about Sannon'e alleged cro kedness in the purchase "of a nu'iilwr tf shares of Vandalia railroad stock from tne bard of commissioners of Vigo county,and subsequent sale to another stockholder, bv which th? county waschi eled out 01 $7000.

to obtain aid and'eamfort at the Fifth Ward convention. It seems that Shannon attempted to make political capital out of his connection with the Catholic Church among thj Irish voters of that ward, and was successful to such an extent that delegates in his favor were declared elected. This was an "outrage" at which the Cooperites were highly indignant, and they proceeded to make things livelv to such an extent that the secretary of the convention jumped out of the" window running tor dear life,declining to became a martyr even in the cause Df the great Patrick ofTerre Haute. At this' juncture Dick Hollywood, who was chairman of the convention, declared the proceedings null and void, and ordered a new convention to be convened for this morning. After this the feeling between the friends of Cooper and Shannon became very b:tter and antagonistic.
GOSSIP,
The Sentinel publishes the blowing card from Hon. D. W. Voorhees announcing his inability to bi present at the conven ion: Tj the E Iitor of th Sun tinol:
Washington, Feb. 17.
Sin--Up to this hour I had intended to be at thj state convention on the 20th. I feel compelled to change my purpose, for the following reasons:
First, the silver bill may be veto after it passes the House, and it then returns agiin to the Senate.
Second, the equally important bill for the repeal of the resumption ^act is still pending in the finance committee, of which I am a member. It is understood that it will be considered at once, and the result is doubtful in the committee. OCir next meeting is on Tuesdav, and I be lieve my presence necessary «to obtain a favorable report. In my judgment, therefore, I can better serve the people of Indiana here at this particular juncture than by attending the convention. Nothing but an imperative sense of pabiic duty could at this time deprive me of the great pleasure I had promised myself on 'he 20th inst. D. W. Voorhees. COMMITTER ON I'ERMANKNT oroani-

THE RESOLUTIONS.

The membsrs met at nine o'clock, and without having finished their labors, adjourned at two clock to meet again at seven. Governor Hendricks was present a part o! the ti ne and made several suggestion?.
Judge Holmtn, ex-me:uber of the Fifth congressional district, and the very best congressman Indiana ever had, was the active member of the committee in shaking up and directing the deliberaons of the committee. Frank Linders also had a great deal to sav, and has modified his views considerably on financial questions ince he first ran for congress, (*s«o iutotl ProJi Dispatches.),
Indianapolis, Feb. 20.—The State Democratic convention met at the Metropolitan theatre at 10 o'clock this morning. Edsom Hendricks was chosen permanent chairman, with the usual number of vice presidents and secretarys. The commit-.ee on resolutions made the following report whi.h wa« uti^niTious-ly alop'ed: so to
The Democracy of the state\ of Indiana, assembled in delegate convention, declare the national bank notes shall retired, and in lieu thereof there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury no'es, with full legal tender quality.
That we ate ir. favor of making the United S'A'es notss, commonly culled greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contract, under which thev wer«s jjsue.l, expre_ssly payable in coin.,
That tha right to issue paper money as well as coinis the exclusive prerogative of the government, ar.d such money "hould be issued in such amounts as th sound business interests of the country may from time to time to time require.
We are in favor of such legislation by Congress 11 will authorize the taxation by the states, ot U. S,.notes, in coiumjn with all other money.
That we deem it unwise And inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the mean*, of home syndicate® or other methods, atKl we believe true policy of the government, frrid tfte best interests of the people, vVdold be subserved by the legislation, so as distribute said debt among Oftr people at home, affording them the mcrst favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United Suites.
That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of intcrssta not exceeding six Jper cent, annum.
We demand the restoration of the silver dollar ot4i2)^ grains to the coin in the countrv. awd with full legal tender quality in the payment of ail debts, both public and pi ivatv, and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of void. f-
T4*a& we are in favor of the immediate and -.Qrrc_,nditional repeal of the resumption act
We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public oflicc-rs should be reduced.
That we are in favor of the repeal »f the bankrupt act. That #e mneedy deplore the recent violent tolliasions between labor and capital, and to prevent the occurrence thereof, and to piotect the future public order a security, we believe that the wages of enij loyes of corporations engaged in the business mining manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corpora' tion that said lien si ould be declared, defined and enforced by appioxtmate legi«lation.
That we favor the passago Of a !avr for the ventilation of coal mines, in thot would be just to the miner and the owner.
THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
The Derrocraiic party is the friend of the common school sutein, will, in every legitimate way, labor for its success and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common vchocl fund to any s.c'arian purpose,
STATE APPORTIONMENT.
That the last apportionment of the ftate for legislatiu. purpose was grossly ur just an^ dishonorable and we demand that the next legislature in apportioning the state for legislature purposes as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of the territory.
THE COURTS.
That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit c*urt* of the United States over questions of corporate and undivded rights arising under the laws of. the states tends to oppress the burdened litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases, and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hur'.tal to the true interests of the people, and we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 17S9.
