At the Indianapolis convention the
Hon. ID. P. Baldwin was candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court. Judge
Woods was nominated instead, but the
convention concluded to call Mr.. Bald

himself. He responded in the little
speech given below, and then left the

the convention, amid great enthusiasm,
nominate him, by reclamation, for Attor-
ney General. The nomination was to-
tally unexpected, but Mr.. Baldwin's
speech struck the popular chord, and he
went through with whirl. The follow

Gentlemen, our army is composed of
two classes of soldiers regulars and
the volunteers. 1t won't do for the vOlun-
