INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 1.-THE
Democratic Convention tomorrow prom
ises to be the largest held here for many
Vt airs. Ex-senator Hendricks, who posi-
lively declined yesterday, it is understood
has now, at the urgent solicitation of Lib
eral Republicans and Democrats, consented
TO accept the nomination for Governor.
The indications are that the Convention
will endorse the Cincinnati Convention,
and that none but Greeley Democrats will
be elected to the Baltimore Convention,
although there will be a strong opposition
to it. In the event of Hendricks nomina-
ton for Governor, Kerr or DePauw will
be the nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
The Liberal Republicans held meeting
this morning, and selected Geo. w. Julian,
as candidate for Congress, from the State at
large.
SECOND DIsPATCH.-The hotels are
thronged with distinguished Democratic
politicians, from all parts of the State, who
are engaged in fixing up the programme for
the Convention tomorrow, although the
bulk of the delegates have not arrived yet.
Senator Hendricks was waited upon by
various deputations of influential Demo
Gratis this morning, and was finally induced
to accept the nomination for Governor.
Until this time he had positively declined.
He will accordingly be nominated by ac-
clamatiOn. Hon. NJ. G. Kerr will, in all
probability, receive the nomination for It.
Governor. 1t is evident the Convention
will endorse the Cincinnati Convention by
large majority, although there will be a
very strong opposition to it by some leading
and prominent Democrats.
1t is understood that the Liberal Repub-
licans at a meeting held this morning
agreed to support a straight Democratic
ticket if the Convention will endorse the
nomination of Greeley and Brown.
RNIGHT DIsPATCH-The district delega-
tons held a caucus tonight and elected
delegates to the Baltimore Convention.
The delegates appointed are all favorable
to Greeley and Brown.
In the Terre Haute district caucus a mo-
ton to substitute Voorhees, name in place OF
Bowling, flor delegate from the State at
large to the Democratic Convention, was
lost by vote of 70 to SO.
Hon. Geo. w. Julian said in the Liberal
Republican caucus to-day that he would be
glad if the Democrats would take him as
one of their standard bearers.
Kansas Unanimous for Greeley.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 1.-THE Demo
cratic State Convention met here to-day.
Nearly every county is represented. Will
son Shannon, senior, presided, and in his
opening speech said: Should the Baltimore
Convention make nomination some good
man would surely be sacrificed and no ad-
vantage gained. He counseled the party to
unite with the friends of reform and the
opponents of Capitalization and plumber.
Mark J. Parrot responded to calls, and
cordially invited a union of Democrats
with the supporters Of Greeley.
The resolutions declared:
!. The paramount duty of every citizen
is devotion and obedience to the Constitu-
ton and laws of the Republic.
2. That political organizations are usual
ly beneficial OIL ly when their purpose and
action demonstrate shat love of country
control their councils and dictate their pol
icy, but when lawless ambition, imbecility,
corruption and man worship dominate a
party, it is the duty of all citizens, without
regard to previous political affiliations, and
forgetful of past and buried differences, to
Join hands and hearts in the effort to crush
such a party and drive It's leaders from
power.
3. Believing the present Chief Executive
and nominee Of tn Republican, party for
reelection is utterly untitled for the high
position he holds, that his administration
stands alone in the history of the nation
for shameless ignorance, nepetism and gift
taking, for reckless disregard of law and
forgetfulness Of the ancient hon
or of the Republic, for utter
want of that dignity and craftsmanship
which should characterize the executive
government of the first republic of the
earth, and that his continuance in power
would degrade the nation, and be danger
Gus to the liberties of the people; and so
believing, we are willing to join all good
citizens in the pending campaign in the ef-
! fort to drive him from place.
4. AS this can, in our judgment, be most
surely accomplished by accepting and sup
porting the platform and candidates of the
| Cincinnati Convention, our delegates tC
the National Council of the party are In.
