OLD-TIME POLITICS.

Some Reminiscenses of Tigo County's Political Fast.

COL. JOHN BAIRD RAISES A ROW.

Voorhees Comes Back to Greeley and Gives Him a Warm Support— Oglesby's Stay Here.

VTTT f.

I COL. BAERD RAISES A STIB. The Republican Congressional convention of 1872 met at Brazil on June I 113. There was no opposition to Gen.

Morton G. Hunter, and on motion of Major Carter he was nominated by ac-

Pastor Curry presented the

•esolutions. Gen. Hunter addressed the »nvention. The Bepublican judicial lonvention on the same day made the ollowing nominations: Judge of the Circuit Court, David H. Maxwell, of arke Prosecutor of the Circuit Court, tobert B. Sears, of Vermillion Judge the Court of Common Pleas, Isaac N. *ierce, of Vigo Prosecutor of the Court

Common Pleas, W. S. Maple, of Solvan. Two days later the Republicans eld their county convention. D. W. finshall presided. The nominations lade were: T. C. Buntin for Clerk ver Messrs. Hosford, Patrick and Turer Chas. Rottman for Treasurer over I. C. Rankin (the incumbent), J. N. hepherd and Geo. H. Mills Joshua M. lull for Sheriff over Richard, Sparks, abez Smith, J. L. Humaston and Geo. 7. Naylor. The business of the condition proceeded quietly until Proselting Attorney was reached. R. S. ennant and Lord Emory Beauchamp ere the opposing candidates. The first illot decided the contest in favor of former. At this juncture Col. Baird up and denounced the nomination a fraud. He endeavored to make a eech, but was ruled out of order by chair. He then withdrew from the nvention declaring he would never pport the nominee. This action cre3d great confusion. Some of the deletes moved to adjourn, but it was ted down. Order was finally restored the convention went on to complete a ticket, as follows: H. D. Scott for ate Senator W. K. Edwards and P.

Lee for Representatives Stanley bbins and Joseph Fellenzer for unty Commissioners Dr. W. D. Mull v* Coroner over E. O. Whiteman, Paid jhCoskey and others. P. B.

an opportunity of explaining his tion. On July 18 the Congressional rention of the Sixth district was held Spencer, Ind., and unanimously sea in nomination again for Conis. He was present and made a «h accepting the nomination, in ih he gave a careful review of the deal situation. Of Greeley's nomina he said: "In opposing the nominof Mr. Greeley I acted on prin-

and no one will expect me, now or after, to retract a word I have en or written on the subject. The Lenceof my words, if they had any, directed to the Baltimore convenand not beyond the action of that

THE GBKEIIBT-GKANT CAMPAIGN. In point of bitterness and malignant personalities the Greeley-Grant campaign was never surpassed in the history of Vigo county. The Republicans put up a wigwam and the Democrats erected what they called a Temple at the northeast corner of Eighth and Ohio on Dr. Reed's then vacant lot Ardent supporters of Greeley wore the white Greeley plug hat The political cauldron was kept in a constant white heat by the manoeuvers of the Terre Haute Journal. This paper's position attracted considerable outside attention. The Detroit Free Press, then, as now an alleged funny paper, demolished Jim Edmunds in a paragraph that read something like this: "The Terre Haute Journal savs it cannot support Greeley. From the looks of the sheet we should judge it couldn't *en support the editor." CoL W. E. McLean threw himself into the canvass with astonishing vigor and proved one of the best and readiest speakers on the stump. One of the speakers that visited Terre Haute during that campaign was Richard J. Oglesby. He had been a former resident of this city, and in his speech alluded to the friendly feeling for Terre Haute that had been aroused in his youthful heart many years before. Thirty-four years previously (in 1838) he came to«*this city a poor orphan boy, in company with his uncle, and after remaining here about a year he put his little bundle across his shoulder one day and started west on foot, crossing the Wabash river. That night he stopat Paris. To-day Uncle Dick 'glesby is Governor of Illinois. The political feeling was heightened in this county by the organized bolt of a number of Irish-American citizens who were incensed at the complexion of the county ticket. A Greeley Liberal Republican olub was organized over Donnelly's drug store. On August 3 a proposition was made at a meeting of the Democratic county committee to starve out the Journal. On tiie same day a street altercation occurred between Editor Edmunds and Judge Jones over a letter written from here by Judge Jones to the Louisville Courier-JournaL 1 THE GREELEY TEMPE OPENED.

On Wednesday night, August 7, the Democrats opened their Greeley Temple with an immense meeting that was addressed by Hendricks, Voorhees and Hanna. A flagstaff was put over the Temple and its apex was crowned with a mammoth white hat On the following Monday night Senator Carl Schurz, of Missouri, spoke both in English and German at the Temple. In this campaign we see the name of John E. Lamb mentioned for the first.time. He was then a youhg man just about of age. On August 16 he officiated as secretary at a Democratic meeting in the Third ward and when the Greeley Escort came to be organized young Lamb was elected Second Lieutenant L. M. Rose was its Captain. The boundless possibilities of youth in this great country were never better illustrated. Who among the torch-bearers in that company dreampt for a moment that in a few years their Second Lieutenant would become, by the genius of his own efforts, a member of Congress of the United States? B. Wilson Smith, a member of the present Legislature from Tippecanoe county, was then a resident of this city, and was officiating alergyman at one of the churches. Like Brother Curry, Mr. Smith's inclinations ran in the direction of politics, and he made speeches and carried torches in processions whenever it was necessary to get a big turnout This enraged the opposition in his flock and they had a note inserted in the Democratic paper which went on to say: "Does a certain congregation in this city pay their minister for preaching or do theyjpay him for carrying a torch in political processions*, or for making speeches down in Bagdad?" Thin ponderous question, so it has been told, has not been answered to this very day. The wording of this ingeniously constructed statement might lead a disinterested reader to infer that if the Rev. B. Wilson Smith spoke anywhere else but in Bagdad things would have gone on swimmingly. There were three Democrats from Vigo county who attended the Louisville straight-out convention called by Blanton Duncan, which put Charles O'Oonor in nomination for President against his wilL One of these, Chris. Wallace, came home disgusted and for Greeley, having become convinced that it was a job engineered by the Grant crowd. At Greencastle the Republicans kindly posted the platform from which 1Mb:. Voorhees was to speak with extracts from his speech of May 13 against Greeley, but Voorhees-like he turned the point and made capital of them. On all sides, however, wherever else the dividing line may have been, it was universally conceded that Jim Edmunds was the most incorrigible specimen of a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat in existence.

San Salvador, via Galves

ton, March 14.—The firm attitude assumed by Mexico in behalf of the autonomy of San Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rioa against the threatened usurpation of President Barrios, of Guatemala, excites enthusiasm throughout the three republics. The determination of the people of these countries to resist incorporation into one republic under the domination of Barrios continues steadfast and the foil of Barrios is considered certain. The Mexican legation has been directed to leave Guatemala and proceed to San Salvador. The forces at San Salvador are being concentrated on the frontier of Guatemala.

The general opinion here is that the scheme of Barrios will meet with an ignominious failure. "r'

"You may say for me," said CoL Vilas, "that I consider it my first aim and duty to become fully acquainted with the department before any important changes are to be made. The department here must be thoroughly looked over before outside questions can be taken up. This does not signify that any changes are neoessarily to be made in present non*-waHt)«t made unless it ii Jttnte apparent that they are needed Tne department will go right along very much as it has gone until I have made myself familiar with every branch of it Meantime such vacancies as occur will be filled, either by appointment by the President or by myself in the classes where I have the ap-1

Miss Cleveland made their short stay* at the White House very pleasant, paying them most- distinguished attention. Soon after the Blaines left Mrs. Logan passed in and was presented.

Cleveland's Callers Yesterday. WASHiNCKroir, March 16.—Ex-Presi-dent Arthur made a social call upon Mr. Cleveland this afternoon. He was driven to the White House in the carriage of Mr. Frelinghuysen, whose guest hels, about 5 o'clock, and was at once ushered into the presence of the President, who gave him a cordial greeting. The visit lasted half an hour.

The President, accompanied by his sisters, Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, attended a lecture given by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, to-night, in the Congregational church, on "Evolution andRevolution.'*

The constant rush of visitors to the Executive mansion oompelled the President to limit the office hours from 10 to 1 o'clock, except on Cabinet days, when they will be from 10 to 12 o'clock. An hour will be set apart every afternoon for the reception of those wishing to pay their respects. The President will receive no persons outside of the hours specified, except by special appointment, as he desires to reserve the afternoons and evenings for the consideration of public business.

A delegation of about two hundred Christian workers, mostly ladies, composed mostly of the Woiwan's Temperance Union and Temperance Alliance of the district, called at the White House to-day. Miss Cleveland received them the blue paflor. The call vas not for I

the purpose of making an regarding temperance, makers,- but Miss La Fetra, who addressed Miss Cleveland in behalf of the visitors, stated that uiey simply desired to pay their, respects and to express their confidence in her Christian character, and that as mistress of the White House she would perform her duty.

Last evening he had not examined t&$ petition but had requested from the ment a full statement of the shortcomings of Pearson as found by one of Frank Hatton's special agents. His present inclinations, so the New Yorkers say, is clearly to give Pearson another term, but the straight Democrats are demanding the place, pushing State Senator Daly as a proper man to fill the place.

A Huge Mail.

The President and Cabinet teceiv an exceedingly heavy mail everyday, which shows no signs of growing less. CoL Lamont smilingly remarked to-day as he gazed upon a huge pile of unopened letters: "If this'state of things keeps up much longer I will have to persuade the President to order the stoppage of the mails for a few days so as to afiow us to catch.up."

The Secretary of the Treasury reoeived a large number of anonymous letters making all sorts of scandalous charges against employes of the Treasury. He said this morning lie wanted to nave it by

Senator Sherman's refusal to serve on the finance oommittee of the Senate has caused a good deal of gossip. To an Associated Press reporter he said: "If I have any apologies to make I will mnkft them to my constituents". There is said to be an unfriendly feding between Senator Sherman and Senator Alflrtoh, another member of the committee, which dates back to the action of the oommittee respecting the tariff and has been revived and possibly increased by the controversy over the refunding and national bank measures, in respect to which the two advocated a widely different coursa
