Major, and came out of service at the end of |
the war with record surpassed by no other |
of the brave two hundred thousand who |
shed lustre upon the name of Indiana.
Major GLOVER is now serving his second
term as Treasurer of Lawrence county, and
is reported to make most popular and eff
cient officer.
The Convention paid deserved compli-
ment to Col. JAMES b. BLACK in his fiatter-
ing denomination for Reporter of the SUI
preme Court Col BLACK has discharged
every duty of his office with the greatest
satisfaction to the profession, and
we know him to be most
painstaking and Conscientious Re-
porter. During the last campaign he
made fine canvass of the State, and re-
ceived vote fully equal to that accorded
his colleagues. He will be as wei
come to the Republican party now as
then, and will contribute his full share to
the work Of the canvass and the strength of
the general ticket.
For Clerk of the Supreme Court the Ger
mans Of the State presented most worthy
and competent candidate, and he was nomi-
mated by . handsome majority ON the first
ballot. Mr.. CHARLES SCHoLL was born in
Cologne in 1882 He received liberal edu-
cation both in his native city and in Munich,
Bavaria. After the troubles in 1849 Mr..
SCHoLL emigrated to America, locating in
Washington county, where he spent some
time in the profession of teaching. In 1860 he
immigrated to Clark county, where he has
since been engaged in merchandising. Mr..
ScHoLL is a fine-looking gentleman, we'll
educated, with a thorough business training,
and will make as acceptable Clerk as any
man to be found in the State. The more he
becomes acquainted the warmer and more
numerous will be his personal and political
friends.
BENZ. WILSON SMITH, the nominee for
Superintendent of Public Instruction, is a
native of Clarksburgh, West Virginia He
came to Indiana in 1916, and has just passed
his forty second birthday. He came to In
diana in 1876, and commenced his career
rs a common school teacher in 1S4S-gradu
ated from the Indiana Asbury University

guages two years in Cornell Col
lege, Iowa-returned to Indiana, and
for ten years continued his career as
teacher, during which time he was Super
intendent of schools of Aurora, and Presi-
dent five years of Valparaiso College. Fol
lowing this he was pastor two years of Cen
tenary Methodist Episcopal Church of
Terre Haute His career i'm school affairs
has been varied and extensive, covering
several years of duties ilSthe offices of Trus-
tee and County Examiner He is one of the
oldest members of the State Teachers
association, and has from their Inaugural
ton been an active worker in the County
Institutes. With q broad and liberal educa-
ton, extensive experience, practical
knowledge of the wants of rural as well as
graded schools, ability as a public speaker
and lecturer, untiring industry and zeal,
combined with superior business qualifica
tons, we think the Convention very fortu-
nate in its selection for this important Office.
| Our candidate for Attorney General was
the work of fifteen minutes, but better
nomination could not have been made il
the Convention had spent the day upon
that particular business alone.

, engaged in the practice of his profession
Judge DENNY is an able lawyer, gentle
man of unimpeachable integrity, and /.
, speaker of more than ordinary ability.
