VISIONARY VICTIMS.
Republican Candidates for Rural
Retreats and Rustic Repose,

oRgD- .CUssRs NOR FOREIGN Folks NEED
APPLY-THE TICKET THAT WILL TAKE TO
TALL TIMBER.
For the benefit OF country readers who
are no. reached by the Sunday Sentinel
we give brief summary of the proceed
iDgs OF the republican county con-
vention- The delegates assembled
in Washington Hall at 10 A. M,
Saturday morning. John ID. Rowland,
clerk of the United States Circuit Court,
was made chairman, and r o. Hsw kins,
Dan NJ. Ransdell and w. c. David weie
appointed secretaries. The radical rabble
could not well have been noisier If they
had come together for ismboree, instead
OF 70 nominate "the best men in the
county" for the different offices. DIR.
s. A. Elbert, the only colored man whose
name was presented for any nomina-
nation, was badly defeated, aud, as if to
add insult to injury, he was called out for
a speech. He said: "Gentlemsn of the
conveEtion-I will assure you when my
name was announced before this party, 1
was greatly surprised, but should have
been much more so bad / to have received
the nomination at your hands. The rea-
son why l was here, 1t has been so GUS
tom for me to be in the convention 1t
seemed to be impossible for me to keep
away, and const quent]y have been here
to-day watching your. proceedings. Had
it not been so / should have been at my
dome site duties. i will say to you, gen.
tlemep, thank my friends for the hearty
support they have given me. Gentlemen
OF the convention, L pledge you IS it has
been in the past so it shall be in the future,
that the black republicans will not be
found wanting" Ii anybody can find in
that any very loud
PROMISE OF SUPPORT
to be given by the colored voters to the re-
publican ticket, they are welcome to all
the consolation they can get out Oft. As
If this "setting down" on Ebert was not
enough, when the colored people asked
the poor privilege OF presenting petition
for the nomination of DR.. Samuel Davis,
man who was an aboilitionist from his
birth, and had always been friend 70 the
down tTodden and oppressed OF all colors,
tie convention insultlugi II refused TO allow
the paper to be read. Another noticeable
feature of the ticket Is the conspicuous
absence of the name OF any German
or IrishmaD." But then that is to
be expected from the party which
fostered and matured know ROTH
ingism, and whose candidate for governor
is the ex-grand master OF the order in In
diana. The ticket Is very weak. Already
we hear grumbling, and many swear they
will not support such ticket mixed up as
it is with good, bad and very Indifferent
material. Some on the ticket would
shame Belknap in crooked stick ways.
The ticket does not please the Journal,
and We expect 1t to open its batteries on
that old renegade democrat b. K. Elliott.
The Journal wants none but old abolition
lists on guard. Everybody win laugh at
the ring ticket formed. yesterday when
they remember the frantic appeals Of the
Journal and the News for men of splendid
ability to come 10 the front this year and
save the party. Their appeals, as usual,
amounted to nothing. Perhaps -At
THE BEST THING THE ooNvENTIoN DID
was to vote down, by laundering and al
most unanimous "NOv series OF reso-
lutions, declaring that the republican
party saved the country, and is pledged to
honesty, fidelity and economy; that the
republicans of Marion county are in favor
of continuing the greenback system, and
have no sympathy with those who have
been guilty OF fraud and conspiracy in
office; that they bslieve in letting no
guilty one go unpunished, and In
giving offices to honest men. The
candidates nominated are named Samuel
Hanwey, who is well known here on &C
count OF his long residence in the city,
was selected to be slaughtered tor county
treasurer. Ex-Councilman John Presley,
noted for nothing in particular except his
good health and comfortable fortune, will
Cal. K. Darneu is Interested in the ticket
because, il successful, he viii be the re-
eorder. In one or two terms of Office be
might learn how TO
RECORD THE PRICE OF WOOD,
by the load and for his own use.
James Z. Heller, who would be legal lu-
minary il he had learned anything about
the Law, hopes to be elected prosecuting
attorney if there should prove to toe mere
republicans than democratic, and ne don't
run teo far behind the ticket. DR.. w. Fl.
Wishard, of Southport, is as good q man
as there is on the ticket. If ne don't get
beaten he will be the next coroner. Byron
Z. Elliott YVES nominated for judge of the
Superior Court. He is well known IN the
city. In the Sixth Ward primary dele
gate said: ave want Elliott to work for
the party awhile; the party has worked
for him long enough" CAPT. Daniel
Howe, of the law firm of By field 81 Howe,
was nominated for Superior Judge in the
contingency of Judge Newcomb resigning.
The convention could have found q worse
man. Jacob Rubusb, A. @. Remy, VIM.
Worman, the nominees for county
commissioners, are well known. Rubbish
was q former contractor and
builder; Remy Is considered a
carpet bagger, and Worman Is
a former business man of this city. ALI
three are now farmers. The candidates
for representative are Justis G. Adams,
Harry Graft, Stanton j. Peele, and John
II Mononobou The rof fuvo obrooso
office seekers; Peele wss a fancy soldier,
and one of the most respectable men on
the ticket, and McGaughey was never
heard of until he was nominated. The
ticket will be easily beaten.
