SHOW DAY.
The Grand Consolida/ed Concern Right ... On Top of Us.
From Monday 'a Daily
This is show day. It is usually a sort of a national holiday, but for some rcaaon or other it is not generally observed today. Almost anybody could tell what it was by the army of roughs, bummers, thugs and thieves that has swooped down upon us. An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure and Chief Varide ver instructed his men last evening to keep a sharp look-out and lock up all suspicious characters. The result was that a number of hard bats were arrested and placed behind the bars, where they look as natural and ornamental as an In dian to a cigar store. The circus arrived in town yesterday from Danville and pitched its tents in the north end of town. The procession, which did not possess very many alarming features, started about 10:30 and introduced quite an innovation in the line of march, proceeding up and around Gallatin street when it reached Second. The denizens of that square enjoyed the spectacle very highly and threaten to turn out to-night as one man and woman and become a show in themselves. Up to the hour of our going to press only a tew minor scrimmages had occurred. The riot—the ereat e\nt the day—has not

From Tuesday's Baily.
At four o'clock this morning the strikers resumed work at the northern mill* and everything is now running along as smoothly as before they quit work. It will be remembered that it was not question of wages, but simply in compliance with the requirements of the Amalgamated Association that the stopped work, the only demand being for a change of the contract under which they were working, which contract was printed in full in the Gazbtte at the time. Tho contract contained the word "forever" and the men had come to the conclusion that that was binding them up too long, and they raised the question of the right of their agents to make such an enduring contract with the result that at a confer ence between the representatives of the association and the mill owners at Cincinnati, the word forever" was stricken from the contract and the men resumed work at the same rates prevailing before the strike. Terre Haute is in the Cincinnati district and is governed by the same ecale that governs Cincinnati, hence the settlement of the difficulty there was its settlement here, and this morning at four o'clock the men went to work.

CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAKD, OHIO, June 13.—More men than yesterday went to work this morning at the Cleveland rolling mills, and two more departments were started up. No violence was offered, and there was no disturbance other than the same shouting by some idlers in the street. The yelling, which had been done by crowds as the workers went to their labor, had been magnified in rumors and attributed to the strikers, but in the main the strikeishave been very orderly, and it is doubtful if they are chargeable with the minor street conflicts, which in less exicting times would pass for drunken brawls and attract little notice. The strikers wear badges and no violence has been traced to them.

The United States snag boat Richard Ford on June 2 ariived at Vincennes towing the United States steamer Petersburgh, the snag scow, one Darge and a pile driver. "The machinery of the steamer Petersbnrgh had been re moved during the winter and the steamer Richard Ford lowed the fleet to Vincennes so as to be above the Grand rapids in case of low water, where the1 steamer Petersburgh will receive a general overhauling (new machinery,new pilothouse, small texas and derrick connections, the chain gearing not proving to be sufficient). When she arrives at Vincennes she will prove to be a beauty of a boat. The snag scow during the winter had been hauled out and has had a new inct( oak bottom put on over the old one and has received a geueral overhauling and looks like a new boat.
The pile driver with her 45 feet leads painted red shows up. She is in charge of Mr. Thomas Barrv.

CHAKLFS W. HOKF.
Announcement is made to-day of the candidacy of Charles W. Hoff ton Commissioner for the Second district, subject to the decision of the Democratic convention. Mr. Hoff :a one of the active business men of Terre Heute, having been the owner and manager of a brick yard in the southwest part of the city lor many years. He has always been identified with the Democratic, parly as one of the most active workers and has served on committees and labored for the cause with energy and zeal. He has never been a candidate for any office except two years ago when he was an aspirant for the nomination to the office of trustee ot Harrison township, but he did not receive the nom ination. Mr. Hoff has many friends in the Democratic party who are pressing his claims for the nomination for commissioner and it is believed by them that should he be placed upon the track by the convention he would run a fin6 rate. 1:
-v John E. Lamb.
From the Covington People's Friend. Hon. John E. Lamb, ol Terre Hante, stopped in our city yesterday on his way to Crawfordsville." He will be a candidate for Congress before the Democratic convention, and if nominated will make a strong fight for the position. He is one of the ablest men in the state and it is universally conceded that he would make the best Congressman the district ever had—being a man of brains, eloquence, and possessed ot all the qualities indispensible to- the successful legislator. We do not knejw, of course, the feeling of the people of the district, and while we have the highsst regard for it we must B*y that outside feeling is with John E. Lamb, than whom, in our opinion, a better man could not be found for the placa.

Chauncey B. Lee offered a resolution to tlje effect that as no candidates have been announced lor representatives to the state legislature, the selection of these condidates be referred to ihe county central committee.
Col. li. N. Hudson spoke in opposition to this, stating that it was of no consequence that no candidates had been announced. He wished there were no candidates announced for any office, but that it were left entirely to the people to select* without any personal or political influence, and moved to table the resolution. The motion was put for a viva voce vote and the ayes (for tabling the resolution) were decidedly in the majority, but a division was called tor and a vote taken by wards and townships, and the resolution was tabled by a vote of 02 to 40.
