TELEGR A PHO,
Indiana State Convention.

| INDIANAPOLIS. jan IL
| The convention met at A. NJ The Jackson
county contestants casting six votes upon the
Douglas side. asked leave to withdraw from the
contest, which was granted. the Hancock coun-
ty contestants cast votes on Administration
side also asked to withdraw from the contest.
which Was granted.
The committee on credentials reported fa.
vorably to Douglas claimants from Lawrence
county, and after explanations made by repre-
sentatives on each side. The convention
adopted the rerort by vote Of 2l7 to l67.-
the Randolph contest - compromised by cast
ing two Douglas and two Administration
votes
Jas Gavin moved to raise committee to Be
appointed by the chair to report names Of DEL
egstes and elector to the National Cow ention
for the state at large
John L. Robinson moved that such selection
be made BY vote by counties, claiming that
for one he would not give the power to Chair
to select committee to report Douglas dele
gates. and would ask that the matter be set
tied as indicated.
). II. Buskirk said that the popular express
sion Of Indiana was largely for Douglas. and
that four Of his friends ought to be selected to
go to Charleston, and the surest way to do
that was to pursue the old usage by raising =
committee TO select.
II. w. uarr, r,ngton contended that as the
Douglas men had the power they ought to ex.
ercise II in the way indicated by the first mo.
ton. The tables were turned nov to what
they were two years ago, and Robinson's mo.
,ion was the last resort Of the minority to con-
fuse the majority
Gov. Willard defended his course a. Presi
dent of the Convention Of 1883, and advocated
the amendment Let fair vote be now taken
here; if douglas has q majority, let all submit
for Douglas-if Douglas be nominatsd-to
Charleston, he would sustain him, and asked
his friends to do Likewise If another be nomi
mated.
Mr.. Wallace replied. saying Mr. Willard had
admitted that usage had been for Commit ee,
and not in the way proposed by Mr.. Robinson.
He denied that in the Convention OF '5S Gov,
Willard, a. President, had constituted com
mittee en- resolutions composed OF q ma jority
| Of anti-Lecompton men the reverse was true
| not one of that stamp was on the committee.
II, a. Gov. Willard admits there be q MAORI
ty here Of Douglas men and should the result
be to send his enemies to Charleston, what will
the people at home cay at such violation Of
their will?
Gov Willard replied, explaining the history
OF the Conv vention over " which ne presided.
ExGov Dunning said all appeals made for
fairness were perhaps made in good faith. but
were out Of order. The report Of the com
mittee would not be final, but subject TO con.
frmaton or rejection by the vote OF the Con-
ven,ion. On the principle Of old usage he was
ri. .,ht and wanted Douglas to show pluck here;
il we are his friends let Us do like General
jackson at New Orleans, when he said, "by the
eternal God we will fight them"

E% A Mares NEsr.-The illustri
ous Mac Littler. the good Samaritan. the local
editor Of the Davenport Daily Gazette. the
standard family newspaper which treats its
lady readers to disquisitions on "guts." on
Wednesday last. at an early hour, tore himself
away from the bosom of his interesting family
and visited that asylum for disabled political
parsons, the County Judges Office 1t seems
that the Mac Littler is treating himself to the
privilege usually accorded to other great men
that of visiting our public institutions. He
has discovered and disclosed all the secrets of
the prison house, and 10 now consecrstiDg his
brilliant talents to an investigation Of the book
accounts Of the County Judges Office. That
office. % ct present Administered. presents an
interesting spectacle. In days Of Democratic
rule, one Judge and clerk were able to die
charge it, duties; but now it requires two
Judges. = broken down parson, cabinet max.
er aud Dutch grocer to manage its concerns
We pre- ums the business must have increased
greatly to require such an array of judicisl,
clerical, mechanical and mercantile ability in
ironical sense, for We contend that an inventive
genius like the Reverend Judge Burris. who
can smplify. enlarge and expand the Law 20 %
to create the Office Of guardian ad hbitsm for
female ward ofawset sixteen. displays ~ alarm.
ing degree Of ability. 1t was owing to Burris'
profound legal sttainments that the lymphatic
Linderman. distressed BY doubts and misgiv>
ings, on his sudden elevation from the bar Of .
Ls Claire tap room to the bench Of the County
Court, selected the Reverend and experienced
Office seeker - his guardian ad Hb;tum. We,
therefore. cannot say that We consider Lindsr-
man, who 10 merely . ward Of the court of
which he ought to be Judge. responsible for
the dirty insinustion that Judge Weston al
loved 10 more for printing the Governors
proclamation than We we're entitled 70 rscsive.
But We shall not discuss the rsssonsbleuess of
our bills with Bill Burris, or Bob Littler, or
any other gentleman Of that kidney. If the
Reverend Judge Burris is anxious to know
what political pauper has sucked most out of
the County Treasury for the last nine years, We
can very easily tell him. Nine years ago he
fastened his fasgs upon this county. and has
hang on ever since with . tenaeity only
squsllsd by his mssnnsss. He has been Coun.
ty Judge. he has been acopyist for the Record
q, and now, humbiing himself that he may be
exalted, he descends to entering as clerk that
Office in which he once vas . Judge. When
Satan may rightfally rsbuks sin, then may this
hybrid combination Of the Office hunter and
psalm sisgsr talk about spseulating out of the
county.
