THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.

Further Returns From It.

LITTLE BOCK, Ark., Sept. 8—Partial returns from one half the counties in the state indicate no ohanges from tbe estimates telegraphed Monday night. Combinations between the Republicans and other elements affected the Democratic vote in several counties and defeated some local Democratic tickets wholly or in part. The Democrats claim this county by a thousand majority. The state labor ticket carried White and Nevada counties and will receive probably four or five thousand votes in the state, drawn about equally from the Democrats and Republicans. The Legislature is largely Democratic, tbe Democratic gains and losses being about equal.

gressioaal Question-

There were about forty Nationals present at the meeting, which was held in the grand jury room, and the purpose of it, aocording to the call, was to electten delegates to the Greenback congressional convention at Rockville tomorrow. Major George H. Purdy presided. J. H. Allen made a motion that they go into an election by ballot of the ten delegates, and on this motion Dr. H. W. TayJor, Greenback candidate for the Legislature in this oounty, took the floor. He was in favor of all the Nationals who could attend, representing the party in this county at the convention. He was in favor of pu fcting forward for Congress a man of their own faith. He was not in favor of indorsing either the Republican or Democratic candidates for Congress. Such an act would be in opposition to the principles of the Greenback party.

J. H. Allen made the point of order on Dr. Taylor that he was not speaking to the question and he called for a vote on his motion.

Major Purdy, the

Bostain

chairman, did

W. H. Brown here advanced toward Mr. Rankin and made some inquiry that could not be heard owing to the confusion.

Dr. Taylor and M. C. Rankin locked horns here again and the excitement began to grow, when W. Bo ward Manning got up and declared that nine-tenths of the party were against a straight nomination and wouldn't have one.

W. H. Brown said he was in favor of a straight nomination for Congress by the Greenback party. He wanted a man whe would go after' both Johnston and Lamb and go after them red hot, first-class, double-quick. The Greenback party was not an organization to be used as a means of boosting any certain man into Congress. The Greenbaokers had principles of their own and they were there to fight for them. They wanted a candidate for Congress who would defend them on the stump. He was willing to go down into his pocket and assist a Greenback candidate to make the canvass for Congress.

W. H. Man ring said that in electing the delegates it was only fair that the meeting should know just who were for a nomination and who were against it.

Dr. Taylor warmly denounced such a scheme and said nothing like it was ever heard of before.

Rudolph Davis moved that any Nationals present who were pledged to vote for either Jim Johnston or John Lamb should not have a vote in the election of delegates.

Dr. Taylor seoonded the motion. M. C. Rankin said that Dr. Taylor Vas just us much pledged to Mr. Bidlard as he (Rankin) was to Johnston.

Dr. Taylor (emphatically) —N"to quite." Mr. Bankiu continued to extol the virtues of the Republican candidate for Congress as a genuine, simon-pure, undefiled Greenbacker.

Rudolph Davis made the point of order that the Greenbaokers had not assembled there to hear Jim Johnston praised.

Mr. Rankin went on to defend himself and asked when he had lost caste and a voice in a Greenback convention

Mr. Davis (jumping to his feet)^—"If. the congressional convention nominates Mr. Ballard I want to know whether Mr. Rankin will support him?'

A Lively Congressional Convention at Rockville—No Candidate ,, Named,

THE NATIONAL SPLlf.

A Regular Cyclone of a Time Last Saturday. The. bold attempt Saturday afternoon of a section of the Nationals to turn the organization in this county into side show for the benefit of Jim Johnston, the Republican candidate for Con. gress,evoked the stormiest scene that the Greenbaokers in convention assembled have had the pleasure of witnessing since the party has been organized in Vigo county. The promoters of the scheme, which has been part and parcel of the Republican program, were so cute and siy about it that they fancied they would have no opposition at all,and from their strenuous endeavors to force the question and shut off debate it was plain that they were beginning to realize they had made a mistake and were afraid of being beaten at their own own game. There was such intense disgust after the out and dried program had been carried out that a second convention of indignant Nationals met and elected another set of delegates to the

Capt. Allen opposed the motion and finally both motions were laid on the table.

That brought back matters to where they were before the meeting was held. Dr. Taylor again offered his amendment

Capt Allen, arising in an evidently warm mood, said patience ceased to be a virtue. He impugned Dr. Taylor's motives and advanced toward Jwn until he oould have touched him.

Dr. Taylor then made the speech of the afternoon. He declared that he had fought for Greenback principles for twelve years in his own party until he found that his party oould not be trusted on that issue. He had heard both Bankin and Allen say that they ought not to unite with either party.

W. H. Robinson, of Fayette township, an old National of influence and standing in the party, and who has been one of the most prominent figures in past Greenback campaigns, then got up. He said be was not in favor of Johnston. He said so emphatically. He was in favor ef nominating a Greenbacker to carry the Greenback banner over the district

Mr. Manning denied that he was trying to work up any scheme. Dr. Taylor said he had urged Capt Allen himself to take the nomination for Congress, for he recognized in him just suoh a man as they wanted. If Capt Allen would consent he knew he would be nominated unanimously.

Mr. Manning said when the Nationals wanted Capt Allen to run for Congress they would let him know it.

Mr. Davis said it was plain to be seen that the move that was being made was in Johnston's interests.

The whole matter was for a second time laid on the table and the meeting was back where it began.

A motion was made by a disgusted Greenbacker to adjourn, but that motion was voted down.

Then the meeting ceased wrangling and went to work balloting. After a sharp struggle the Rankin wing elected their ten delegates, who had been carefully selected and voted for solidly, showing that a preconcerted move was being carried out. Tbe delegates elected were: M. C. Rankin, Howard Manning, Capt. J. H. Allen, W. Lee, John Anderson, J. R. Backus, R. A. Nott, John Omhart, Eli Brown and B. F. Perkins,

A SECOND CONVENTION.

The disgust was so deep at the proceedings that subsequently a second convention was held at which a second set of ten delegates were elected to go to the Rockville convention. Among the more prominent of the delegates are Dr. Taylor, Geo. H. Purdy, Dr. Theo. Holloway, Rudolph Davis, W. H. Robinson and W. H. Brown. The latter gentlemen claim that the delegation headed by Rankin was picked wholly from the city, there being only one representative from the country among the number.

One of the second delegation said this afternoon that they would be on hand at Rockville tomorrow and would claim seats.

PARKE COUNTY'S ACTION.

The Parke county Greenbaokers elected their delegates to the congressional convention last Saturday. They are all for nominating a Greenback candidate, with no Jim Johnston in theirs.

THE ROCKVILLE CONVENTION.

A Hot Time There on Tuesday. From Wednesday's daily. The Greenback congressional convention of this district, after a Regular bear garden of a time at Rockville yesterday, during which at sundry intervals it would seem as if some one was going to be knocked out, decided to make no nomination for Congress. This deoision has caused a rupture in the party in Yigo county and more or less of a split in all the other counties in the district represented in the meeting. The Johnston schemers who laid their plans some time ago to get the convention to come out and endorse the Republican candidate for Congress received a severe setback, nearly all the speeches that were made in the convention scoring Johnston in a strong manner.,

BIVAL DEIIEGATIONS. I

All the counties were represented except Sullivan. The two contesting delegations from Yigo county were on hand, each claiming to be the only genuine representatives. About 9 o'clock the delegates went into a caucus in one of the rooms in the court house building and as soon as the rival delegations from Yigo oounty came together there was a regular old-fashioned row that woke up the depths of even sleepy old Parke.. The Rankin wing was represented oratorically by M. C. Rankin, Capt-Allen and Howard Manning and the other wing by Major George H. Purdy, Dr. Theo. Holloway, Dr. H. W. Taylor, W. H. Robinson and Rudolph

Davis. The row began to get fiercer as

to run him in on the convention. Finally, the squally weather was somewhat calmed by an agreement to elect a oommittee on credentials composed of one member from each oounty represented outside of Vigo. They were to decide who should be admitted.

I}^ MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE. At 1:30 p. m. this committee met and at 2 o'clock the delegates who were not on the oommittee were called to order in the circuit oourt room. The Oommittee on Nominations for Parke oounty reported the selection of S. D. Catlin for auditor and called amass convention of Greenbaokers to meet September 15th to nominate a joint senator. Calls were then made for Fisher Doherty, of Montgomery county, one of the Greenback leaders in the distriot. He said he came there expecting and hoping that a Greenback candidate for Congress would would be nominated. He had heard that that move would hurt Johnston or would hurt Lamb. What did they care for Johnston or Lamb? They were Greenbaokers. It would seem as if the Greenbaokers hadn't yet got fully weaned away from the old parties. If they remained scattered around and this one was hired to work for a Republican candidate and that one to work for a Democratic candidate they would merely be the laughing stock of both of the old parties. He was brought up in the Republican party and his last vote in that party was oast for Grant Itwas no time for them to quarreL There were plenty of good men whom they oould name as their candidate for Congress. If the Republican or Democratic candidate made them specious promises they would be fools to believe them. All they wanted was the Greenback vote, and they were after it hard about election time. They had nothing to expect from either of the old parties and wanted to have nothing to do with them. Mr. Doherty urged that if Mr. Ballard, the Prohibition candidate for Congress, was in town he should be invited to address them. Personally Ballard was a good man, a Greenbacker, and he was for him as a candidate,

URGING A NOMINATION.

Dr. De Gaux Tilney, of Montgomery county, next followed. He implored his Greenback brethren to not make the mistake of omitting to place a straight Greenbacker in the field for Congress. Montgomery oounty came there solid on that issue. He knew the feeling of the Greenback party of his county and he knew that the sentiment was in favor of a candidate. If the convention could find a better man than Ballard he said to go ahead and find him but they wanted nothing to do with either of the old parties. They had been fooled before, and they were not going to be fooled again. Ballard was a Greenbacker as well as a Prohibitionist. He was a good man and his candidacy, would strengthen the party wonderfully in Montgomery county. He ventured to say that they would double their vote. Dr. Tilney took from his pocket a copy of the Chicago Express. He read over a declaration of the principles of the Greenback party. He said he had read each one of the declarations oyer to Mr. Ballard and the latter had given his hearty and unqualified assent to each. Dr. Tilney called the attention of the meeting especially to the declaration that the government must take measures against rich men putting their money in such shape that it couldn't be taxed. Continuing Dr. Tilney said: "But what does

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSTON

say to this declaration of the Greenback party on this question? I have his letter here in his own handwriting and with his own signature attached. In enswer to this particular question (here Dr. Tilney produced the Johnston letter and read from it) Mr. Johnston, who is now honeying around us trying to get our support so as to send him back to Congress, says, in his own words, 'not unless the government is needing the money for some purpose'. We are not talking of the necessities of the government, Mr. Johnston. We are talking about the necessities of the people loud applause]. Whose man is Johnston when he talks that way? Is he the people's man or does he represent the monied interests? He can't deny it. It's in his own handwriting." Dr. Tilney said further: "Mr. Ballard has challenged both Johnston and Lamb to a joint discussion of the publio issues of the day. Lamb has answered his letter, but Johnston hasn't as yet paid any attention to it. Johnston told Lamb that he wasn't good enough morally to meet on the stump [laughter], but he can't get off anything^like that on Ballard." In conclusion Dr. Tilney warned the meeting that if they did not nominate a candidate it was the death blow to the Montgomery oounty Nationals. 'HA.

BAIIIJABD,

the Prohibition candidate for Congress, who had just entered, was' called upon for a speech. He stepped to the front and asked the meeting what they wanted him to say. "Make a Greenback speech" came from one of the delegates.

Mr. Ballard then spoke for about three-quarters of* an hour, mostly discussing Greenbackism, but occasionally touching on Prohibition. He read part of a speech made by him 1878 and whioh was loudly applauded as good Greenback doctrine. He defended the greenback dollar, and declared that if it was good enough for the soldier and the soldier's widow and orphans it was g»od enough for the bondholdera.

THE CONTENT TON ORGANIZES. The committee on caredentials having agreed upon their report, after a long session, Dr. Taylor moved that Fisher Doherty be elected permanent chairman.

Capt. Allen—"I rise to a point of order. The gentleman is not yet a member of the convention." •Dr. Taylor—"I likewise rise to a point of order. The gentleman himself is not yet a member of the convention."

Mr. Doherty was without further ceremonv elected ohairman and Benjamin Ogden secretary. The retioit of

pointed and pending their return speeches were made by Eli Brown, Dr. Spottswood and Fisher Doherty. The two former did not allude to the nomination trouble. The latter, who was called on again for an address, urged that harmony and good feeling prevail. He was sorry to see this division. He would like to have Mr. Ballard nominated, but if not him then take some other good Greenbacker. "Let us," said Mr. Doherty,

I see a feeling here against a nomination, but for the life of me I can't see why. Some say if we put up a man it will beat Johnston. What do we care for Johnston? [Applause]. The eyes of the Greenbackers of the distriot are on this convention and they want a candidate. I will be ashamed to go home and tell the good old Green backers of Montgomery county that we didn't put up a man of our faith after meeting nere. What excuse can I offer? We will be the laughing stock of tbe district"

GETTING TO WORK.

The committee on resolutions reported approving the Greenback platform and making a number of recommendations. It was adopted.

Dr. Tilney stated that the committee was divided on the subject of a nomination and decided to leave the question with the convention. Five minutes recess was given for consultation and then a vote was taken as follows: Against a nomination, 32 for a nomination, 10.

Mr. Doherty—"1 believe that the decision of the convention can very slightly affect the temper of the Greenbackera of the district and I am confident that the greater part of the Greenbackers, who are as ready now to fight for their principles as they were in the days of Peter Cooper, will oast their votes for Mr. Ballard [applause.]"

At this junoture a delegate created a scene by jumping to his feet and offering a resolution stating, in effect, that the placing of no candidate in the field to represent the Greenback party was unmanly, cowardly and unworthy of the Greenback party of the district. Things looked favorable for a row for a minute or so, but it blew over, and the convention then adjenrned.

Prohibition Matters.

T. E. Ballard, of Crawfordsville, Prohibition candidate for Congress in this district, was expected to address the Prohibition county convention at the oourt house last Saturday afternoon, but h9 was unavoidably detained by business at Bluffton, Ind. He wrote to Mr. J. E. Martin expressing his regret at not being able to attend, but promising to deliver a speech in this city some time before the middle of September. In his remarks opening the oounty convention Mr. Martin said he had been urged by candidates not to nominate a Prohibition county ticket, but to turn in and work for the Republican party. Mr. Martin said the Prohibition party wanted no alliance with either party. He denounced the Cumback—Reynolds Prohibition Republican sideshow.'

Lamb Opens His Campaien. Hon. John E. Lamb left this afternoon for Harveysburg, Fountain Co. where he will fire the first gun of his congressional campaign tonight. Great enthusiasm is said to exist for Lamb in all the upper counties.

Advisory Board.

The Democratic county central committee has appointed the following gentlemen an advisory board to act with the committee during the coming camaign: James M. Sankey, Chas.. iteumpfle, John G. Williams, Andrew? Grimes, David N. Taylor, Geo. A* Schaal and Wm. O. Patton.
