POLITICAL POINTS.
Movement to Hold Another Convention and
Send IngersoI to Chicago.

Washington Special.
Col Ingersolrs friends do not despair of get
ting him into the Chicago convention from some
where. The Colonel shares the feelings of his
friends movement is on foot in the District
of Columbia looking to another convention on
the ground that the one in which lngersoll was
so numerically beaten was irregular and fraud
ulent Last week the eloquent hereto was reg
lstered in New York as hailing from Illinois, and
it was so printed in the newspapers. Mr.. Greeley
once hailed from Oregon. Col. In.,ersoll, though
resident of Washington, may yet turn up at
Chicago as delegate from some unexpected
Iuarter. The Colonels solcitude to go to the
convention denotes a purpose. He has had a
sliding scale of preferences, the latest being
Justice Harlan. The week before it was Justice
Miller, and for considerable time before that
Gen Logan fancied that he had the Colonel's
favor The very latest is that Ingersoll, seeing
which way the cat is going to jump, is prepared
to swing in for Blaine Despite his infdelity,
he is an ardent worshiper of the rising sun.

James NJ. Dunn, the Temperance Lecturer.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
James NJ. Dunn, the temperance lecturer who
has been laboring the past few months with
such extraordinary success in Richmond and
other cities and towns of Indiana, is of Irish pa
rentage and was born in the city of Pittsburg,
Pa, in the year of 1851. His early life was
darkened by intemperance. In the year 1876 he
became one of the original nineteen who signed
Francis Murphy's total abstinence pledge at
Pittsburg. Since that time he has been one of
the most active and enthusiastic temperance
workers in the field, sparing no pains to fit him
self for the great work of retaining men.
lie naturally possesses the impulses of his nation.
Yet In him these impulses are all directed to
definite and lofty ends. He is marked by ma
ture as leader, speaker and organizer He
may also be termed an evangelist, but after his
own method and according to his own intuitions.
He is a devoted Christian, earnestly desiring
the eternal as well as the temporal salvation of
men.
In speaking, his manner is transformations,
simple sincere. He gets at to his
subject is pointed, terse, and emphatic.
His gestures are his own, and in this
hes their power. His clear, decisive
voice claims the utmost attention. slight
Irish accent and peculiar infection give charm
to his speaking. He is free from rant and slang
but is constantly sparkling with ready wit
dashes of quaint humor, and illustrative anec-
dotes. Mr.. Dunn is tireless worker He says
if there is ever time when his zeal grows faint
he has only to remember his early life, and he is
nerved anew for the good warfare. Deep earn
estness and evident sincerity mark all his efforts
As a consequence of this, he reaches the hearts
of the people, especially of that class in which he
is most interested, the men whom he labors to
save His appeals to these are full
of burning, resstless eloquence, and the hold
which he gains upon the fallen is indeed aston
ishing. Those who have witnessed the wonder
full work wrought by his fundamentally, can
heartily commend him to the confidence and
support of communities which may desire the
services of valiant temperance refoPmer, and
can bid him hearty God-speed in his noble
mission.
