SATURDAY'S PRIMARIESf Ever since the counties in this district commenced holding their primaries to elect congressional delegates it has been a foregone conclusion that Mr. John E. Lamb was the choice, but there was still some interest felt in this county, because it was confidently claimed by the gentlemen opposing him that he could neither get a majority of the votes here, nor so much as carry his own ward. The result on Saturday, when every ward and township elected a Lamb delegate, is overwhelming proof that, however prominent the leading anti-Lamb men may be, their following is numerically small. They had ample time to work up t"he opposition, and there is no doubt they exerted all their power, and yet in the Second ward, where several of the most influential of them live, after personal solicitation through several days, only thirty voters, two of whom went away before the Congressional delegate was balloted on, could be mustered. In most of the townships and some of the wards, all of which are reported in this issue, there was no opposition candidate at all, nor has there been the slightest claim by anti-Lamb men, so far as heard from, in any of the precincts of hasty or unfair action, except at the Harrison township meeting.

None of the majorities were small or doubtful. They were in all cases overwhelming. Now,-had it been otherwise, and Judge Jump been the favorite, the anti-Lamb men would have expected cordial support for him, and he would have received it. Having attended primaries,in whose management they had as much control as any one and been fairly and squarely outvoted, is there anything else left to do. as Democrats, believing in the cardinal principle of Democracy that the majority must rule, but to support the nominee. This is what nearly, if not quite all, of them did when he was a candidate two years ago. He is the same man he was then except that he is a maturer, abler and better speaker.

He will go to tne convention at Rockville with every oounty except Vermil lion and it is now quite possible will be nominated by acclamation. That he will make a brilliant race is oertain, and that he will be the next congressman othis districtis equally sure.

election of Hon. John E. Lamb,

United'States District Attorney, to Congress is regarded by his friends as such a certainty that they are casting about for a suitable man to fill his present position. Among the desirable men is mentioned Mr. David N. Taylor. Mr. Taylor is not only an able lawyer, but he is a jouqg man of great force, and should the position be given him he will fill it with credit to himself and to the state.

THE SUGAR CREEK CONVENTION. The Express this morning contained an interview with Mr. Thomas A. Foley, one of Mr. Lamb's principal opponents in which that gentleman said he would do all he could to prevent the election of Mr. Lamb. The Democracy of this oounty would be pained to see Mr. Foley or any one of the other gentlemen engaged in the anti-Lamb fight lend his efforts to defeat the election of a Democratic candidate for Congress in a Democratic distriot. In another part of the interview with Mr. Foley appears the following: "How about the Sugar Creek convention?" "I was not present, Dut I understand that GUB Edgerton bad twenty-eight votes againBt thirteen for Dora Dermody. Of course you are aware the convention was dissolved in a row, and Dermody declared elected?"

Mr. Foley has been sadly misled about the proceedings of the Sugar Creek convention and he can disabuse his mind very quickly of the idea that there was any doubt or even any contest in that township over the election of the congressional delegate. There was no ballot taken for congressional delegate. If there had been Mr. Edgerton would have been defeated by four to one, but he withdrew his name before he had even been formally placed in nomination, and Mr. Dermody, the Lamb delegate, was then elected by acclamation. There was not a dissenting vote to Mr. Dermody's election. There was, as has .been said before, no vote taken at all on the congressional question and the 28 to 13 story is an invention, pure and simple. The only vote of the meeting was taken on joint representative delegate. It is not true, either, that the meeting "dissolved in a row." It dissolved in peace and harmony. Before the proceedings had fully commenced there was a fight between Mr. Clearwater and Mr. Roberts, but that was quickly over and the business of the meeting was then transacted quietly and without interruption to the end. Every gentleman who was present can substantiate this statement. Marion Howe, chairman of the meeting Mr. Clearwater and Mr. All, the tellers Mr. Donovan and Mr. Cassady, the secretaries Hugh D. Roquet, Squire Wm. R. Little and Frank M. Curley, are some of the persons from whom inquiriqp can be made. Mr Edgerton, himself, can make ho such claim as that printed. Some person wljp cared little for the truth has imposed on Mr. Foley, who, we have no doubt, has been honestly misled in the matter.

MR. DAVIS CARD. ./

Mr. John J. Davis, not J. W. Davis, as incorrectly at first reported, who called the second convention in Harrison township to order last Saturday, publishes a card, addressed to the

ZETTE,

in which he says:

"The bell of the court house was kept as quiet as though it were never used oa such occasions, while at the last convention I myself gathered the rope that rang the bell that called the people that held the convention that fairly elected, 1hat honestly proclaimed to the public their choice to represent them at the state, congressional, and joint representative conventions."

If Mr. Davis rests his charge that the first convention was not "regular" on the fact that the court house bell was not rung for it, he is certainly standing on a poor foundation. There were seventeen other Democratic primaries held in Vigo county last Saturday, and no bell was rung for any of them. The hour at which each was to be called was advertised for a week in advance and was well understood. The court house bell is sometimes rung for tp. meetings, but by no means always. There can, however, be no objection to it, nor would Deputy Sheriff Grimminger have made any objection to

GAZETTE,

Lamb delegate, who would have a large personal following for anything else, were secured. Were not the anti-Lamb men treated fairly and courteously in the Second ward?

The truth is, the primaries of last Saturday gave conclusive evidence that Mr. Lamb is the choice of a very considerable majority of the Demo-1 crats of Yigo County. No' claim is made that the test was not fair, except in the Harrison township meeting, and this claim, as already shown, will not stand investigation, although it is unfortunate the meeting was conducted in any manner to give offense, There was certainly no necessity for it*

however, regrets that any

Democrat, who happens to oppose Mr. Lamb's nomination should feel that he has not been courteously treated. The friends of Mr. Lamb had no intention that such should be the case.* In several of the townships the delegate was elected by acclamation, and where there was a ballot taken it resulted, in every case, in an overwhelming majority. Is it, therefore, at all probable that if the Harrison township meeting, which was not oalled to order iwtil five minutes past the adve rtibed time, had been delayed a half hour the result would have been different"? No especial claim was made by anti-Lamb men that they could oarry Harrison township, but they did confidently claim the Seoond ward, and yet, in the latter, after vigorous solicitation, only 28 voters for the anti-

After dinner they adjourned to the parlors and sang a number of class songs, after which a vote of thanks was passed to Dr. J. T. Scoville for favors reoeived and to the host, Mr. Elder. After many farewells the members of the class dispersed for the several depots.

ST. MARY'S^ INSTITUTE..

The Commencement at This Charmingly Beautiful Place Today. Vrom Wednesdays daily.

What a grand place St. Mary's of the Woods really is! Is there anything in the west that compares to this fairylike woodland home? The opinion of every Terre Hautean is that there is not. It is an institute of learning that the citizens of this county can well be proud of to have in their midst. Few persons can visit this charming spot without being thoroughly enraptured by the soene. Many of them, it is true, oome away bewildered at the sight of suoh an array of feminine beauty, for St. Mary's is famed for her lovely maidens and they are as clever and lady-like as they are good looking.

The commencement exercises that were held today were the forty-fifth in the history of the institute. There was the usual interested assemblage of parents from all parts of the west to see their daughters take the honor that they have so long prepared for, and there was also the usual attendance of friends of the school from Terre Haute. Among the notable visitors present was Right Rev. F. B. Chatard, bishop of the diocese of Yincennes, who, as is customary- with him, presented the diplomas to tfle graduates, eleven in number, who were as follows: Miss Fox, Miss Francis, Miss Newhart, Miss Wells, Miss Swint, Miss Peabody, Miss Filbeck, Miss Ferguson, Miss Snapp, Miss Massey, and Miss Breen.

The ball was crowded and the stage looked pretty in its commencement dress. Over the stage was th# motto: "Knowledge and Virtue United." The visitors spent their time before the exorcises began in admiring the works of art in the art department, which is this year said to be better than ever before.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Chatard closed the exercises by a few remarks and by conferring the diplomas and laureate wreaths on the eleven graduates, after whioh pretty ceremony the spectators, highly charmed by the exoellent character of the exercises, dispersed to the handsome grounds to admire the beauties of this famous retreat.

The Republicans of the Keystone State in Convention

Beaver Unanimously Nominated for the Governorship.

HARBISBTJEG,

Pa., June 30.—A sea of

restless faoes met the eye of Chairman Cooper of the Republican State Committee at 10 o'clock this morning when he mounted the stage of the Opera House to call the state convention to order. Such a gathering at a Republican state convention has not been seen here in recent years. The house was packed from the orchestra to the back doors of the galleries, and a pushing throng darkened the space leading to daylight beyond. Upon the platfo rm, whioh was almost pain fully crowded, a plush and gold banner bearing the legend, "Beaver and Montooth" was the only faottonal emblem to be seen in the building, showing that the "Montooth boom" did not propose to give tip until the last moment. A band was stationed in each wing of the balcony- and enlivened the hours before the opening with patriotic airs. Without remark Senator Cooper directed that the call for the state convention be read, upon the conclusion of which the minor officers were announced and a list of the delegates was read.

There was not a contested seat and the delegations are full. The report of the committee in the revision of the rules was then submitted and upon motion was referred to the committee on resolutions yet to be appointed. S. T. Oliver was then nominated by J. W. Morrison as temporary

chairman

and

the nomination was ratified. John Cessna and Mr. Quay were appointed to conduct Mr. Oliver to the platform.

The oonyention reassembled at 20 minutes after 2 o'clock. Around of applause followed and then another when General Wagner announced as the next business in order the nominating of candidates. Upon this Col. D. H. Hastings, of Bellefonte, arose and placed the name of Jas. A, Beaver before the convention as the party candidate for Governor. He made an eloquent address, which was frequently interrupted by applause.

Mr. Havings began his speech by saying that the Republican parly of Pennsylvania were never in bettor condition than now to enter upon a successful campaign. The honest differences of other years have crystallized its aims and purposes, justified hopes, blotted out animosities and forever reunited that splendid army. The common enemy, be said, is entrenched in power, state and federal, but the Republicans of the whole state have given voioe to their preference for a standard bearer. He then paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Beaver, whose character, manhood and achievements have become part of the history of the state. He spoke of his fearless character, his clear judgment, his keen sympathy and his manly courage whioh none dared to question. "His oomrades who wear the metal star upon his breasts," the speaker continued they who saw the hole torn across the rows of buttons upon his coat while leading his command at tihancellorsville, who were by his side when he fell at Cold Harbor, who saw him blown into the air at Petersburg, and they who followed him two and twenty years ago and saw the flash of his sword when at Beam's Station he fell, bleeding, marred and unarmed, nevermore to tread the earth without the aid of his inseparable friend—that well-known crutch—those are some of the men-kindred heroes who would have you honor him today, and thousands of Others all over this broad oommonweaith, who know his worth and believe in his Republicanism, who in many campaigns have heard him give expression to the noblest inspirations of their cause, who beheld the shafts and arrows aimed at him lie broken at his feet, who saw him suffer defeat in civil life with the samecourage that characterized him in the field of battle willing to suffer that the flag might be purified, dis-enthralled and united. All these will I know second the nomination which I now make of Gen. James A Beaver for the office of Governor of Pennsylvania."

No other candidates were named for Governor and when Mr. McEvoy, of Philadelphia, moved that the nomination of Gen. Beaver be made by acclamation it was carried with shouts and cheers.

The next nomination order was that for Lieut. Governor. William T. Davies was nominated for Lieutenant Governor on the first ballot.

The tariff address, adopted by the convention reviews the history of the tariff since 1832 to show that the Democratic party "has for the last fifty years legislated against the best interests of the American people in the direction of

CHILD MURDER.

A Colored Woman in Jail for an Unnatural Crime.

From Wednesday's daily.

Yesterday Superintendent Lawlor and Captain Vandever arrested at Brazil a miserable colored woman, aged 22, named Sarah Waldon or Sarah Ross, for the murder of her infant child while living in Lost Creek township the early part of the present month with her grandmother. The child was born April 8th and was about two months old when killed. The suspicions of the residents of the neighborhood were aroused as to the fate of the child, the story told by its mother being that she had given it away to a woman whose last name she did not know, and the police here were notified, with the result as stated above. She at first denied the killing, but finally confessed and took the officers to Lost Creek township, yesterday evening, pointed out the spot near tbe house where she had buried it, and it was dug up by the officers. One side of the child's head was bruised in as if it had been struck on the head with a club. The remains were taken to Ryan's. In her statement to the officers the woman said she was unmarried and had four children, only one of whom is now living. There are rumors that the other children disappeared mysteriously and it is believed she got away with them in the same manner. The woman said she was forsaken by everyone, even by her mother, and the father of the baby refused to support it as he promised. This, she said, caused her to the commission of the unnatural crime.
