Significant Rumors in Cir

Indiana Dem0Cr@thc Convention
Especial to Cincinnati Gazette.
INDIANAPOLIS, March IA The rain
STERN has seriously interfered with the
gushing prospects of the Democracy.
= The swarm of people which was expect
ed to arrive from the various parts of
the State has not made its appearance,
and the wire-workers are looking mighty
blue tonight The tail feathers Of their
rooster are badly bedraggled and droop-
ing, and bis lusty crow has dwindled to
q squeak. The news from the New
Hampshire election has created great
havoc among them, and.there are more
Just now. As near as / can gather it,
the programme is all arranged, and the
resolutions cut and dried.
They take mild conservative grounds,
much to the disgust Of the friends of
those martyrs, Bowles and Miliigan, and
indorse johnson squarely on his recon-
strnetion policy, and pledge him their
support in carrying II out The mama
gers OF the Commission have resolved
themselves into close corporation, and
no person will be admitted ilto the the
ater building where II is to be held,
without a ticket duly stamped and coun-
tersigned, as they look with little favor
on reporters for Black Republican jour-

A caucus comes off tonight 10 the
hall of the House of Representatives,
the object Of which is to lick things into
shape for tomorrow. MA
Jesse D. Bright is here in all his glo-
ry, and is circulating extensively around
the corners. He is said to be on the
track { the United States Senate. Dan
Voorhees,, who is expected here tonight,
has the pole on that course, however, and
will beat Bright clear out of sight. He
is expected to martyr it in the Conven-s
ten, tomorrow, and relieve himself OF
the pressure Of an immense speech, in
behalf of johnson and the conservative
interest, The policy of the latter will
no doubt prevail, though the Bright and
Bowies men wiilreally shape such action,
they being largely in tie majority.

Nut, Of Warren county. Judge Lowry,
of Ekhart, made the next speech, in
which he said that if whisky was the
cause o, the Presidents change OF base
he'd advise him to keep on drinking it
An ex,Major who was announced 81
having served four years inthe army, b.
the name of Mcdonald, was warmly re
ce:ved. His harGngue was OF the Nc
Clellan pattern, and when he announced
thstthe Democracy we're no longer IN
der the military despotism of Hascal
or Darlington, the sons Of libert,
yelled and cheered tumul uously. Co
John M. Blake, Of this city, and FEY
others made some remarks and the cor
cern played out.
