kindness" to Mr.. Randall which it said it
had constantly shown toward that gem
tleman throughout this whole speaker

"Mr. Randall is conceded the chairman

by very scant vote, he practically ignored
him in the construction of his committees
By the recent caucus vote. of which he re-

to lose any of the meaning OF Mr.. Carlsle's
election. He scorns to temporize and polly

REFERRING to the talk that indianapolis
will not be able to entertain the national
convention, the Lafayette Courier pertinent
ly says:
Thirty years ago. when Lafayette was
young, she aspired to hold the State fair. 1t
was freely predicted that she would fail to
entertain the crowd, and that they would go
away to anathematze. the city, but they
didn't. They were Hospitality received, COM
fortably entertained and went away to
spread the fame of Lafayette from sea to
sea. Even Horace Greeley, who aggravated
his dyspepsia with excess of chicken, and
who foolishly took a picnic ride
from Lafayette to Michigan City on
hand car had a good word to say for
our beautiful city. If indianapolis secures
the national convention the $4,000 people
who come will be made comfortable. Bet
your life on it. 1t is great deal to say, but
nevertheless true, that the great political
gathering held in this county at the Tippeca-
noe battle-ground, in the campaign of 1840
was the largest convention ever held in the
diana ever had. We are inclined to date the
widespread appreciation of our rich re-
sources, mineral and agricultural, to this
great national assembly"
Let the Republican and the Democratic ma
tional conventions come to indianapolis, and
we will guarantee their proper accommoda-
ton. Indianapolis and the State of Indiana
could not have better advertisement than
to have one or both of the great national as
semblies held at the Hoosier capital.

says:
"As a business matter, no man who holds
property or pays taxes in this State can
afford to have any of these prisoners convict
ed or imprisoned. Whenever it is shown
that the government has power in this State
to punish any man who is active in opposi-
ton to whatever party it may be backing,
We will have lost power to oppose negro,
radical and carpet-bag rule, and the horde
of spoilers will be let loose on u.s. with their
natural rapacity sharpened by hunger and
their old vindictiveness intensified by VEN
