Fort WAYNE, June N.-The Democratic
convention of Allen county to-day nominated for
representatives, j. d. NcHenry and A. w.
Brooks who served in the last Legislature, and
Court Hon Samuel NJ. Hench; for prosecuting
attorney of the Circuit Court, Chas. NJ. Dawson,
present incumbent, was renominated; for
treasurer, John Dalman, present incumbent, was
renominated by acclamation; for sheriff, De
Graft Nelson son of Hon. l. D. G.. Nelson, State
house commissioner, was renominated on the
twelfth ballot, after the bitterest fight ever seen
in an Allen county convention. o. B.
Wiley was renominated for surveyor. Just
reached word was brought to the convention
that the only son of De Graft Nelson had been
drowned while bathing with son of ex-State
Treasurer William Fleming. The effect was to
changea food of sympathy for Mr.. Nelson,
which largely contributed to his choice There
were 1853 votes in the convention, II being neces-
sary to nominate On the sixth ballot II % votes
were announced by the chairman for George
Viberg, who had led in the race for sheriff.
the chairman permitted a new vote to be taken.
Afterthat Nelson led to the twelfth ballot, when
he was declared nominated. OF course there is
very bitter dissension in the party, and many
old Democratic friends of Viberg persist that
Republican will be the next sheriff in this in
tensely Democratic county.

A NEW ADMINISTRATIONS Under
our new government which will be-
gin It's career on the 4th Of March
next, the people are anxious to know
what course viii be pursued in reIas
ton to the tariff. The CAPITAL Is
opposed to free trade. It agrees With
che democratic majority, that protec-
ton should Be no longer prostituted
% monopoly; that The wanton taxa
ton Of the necessaries Of life should
not be suffered to exist and that there
should be no unnecessary taxation on
the raw materials not produced in
this county. 1t believes that D
practical, business like revision Of the
tariff, aiEording protection to Ameri-
enc industry and stripped Of all mo.
nopoly features, will be the policy OF
the new administration, and in that
Il will be supported by liberal men OF
bothsparties. The workingmen and
mechanics are not to be degraded az
the opposition have charged; but the
interests Of those who labor for
livelihood will be protected in every
way that tariff, justly laid, can eff.
feet that end. Both parties admit
that . new tariff Is imperatively me-
cessary, and we have no doubt the
good men Of both parties will coop
crate to effect reform that will be
advantageous to every American in
terest. This is understood to be Mr..
Cleveland's position on tariff reform.

PUTTING ON AIRS.
Tho Grand MOgui OF the Treasury
anu His visitors.


Secretary Folger is encountering much
criticism by reason Of the comparatively
short time which he devotes to the recep-
tion Of visitors. He positively declines to
see any one except between the hours of
ten and twelve, and on Saturdays will re-
ceive no visitors at any time. Members of
Congress, as q rule, faro no better than
Others, and oftentimes indulge in some
pretty plain expressions when informed by
the messenger at the door that he dares not
announce their presence to the Secretary.
A day or two since a prominent politician
from New York, whose name has always
been an open sesame to the closet of auy
official, was stopped at the door of the Sec
retary's Office with the information that the
Secretary was not receiving visitors at that
hour. He gave his name with o smile, ex-
pectipg to be at once bowed in. but was
thunderstruck to find himself still denied
He expostulated and said his business wa,
important. but all to no avail. aud finally
in rage, he pulled out his card, handed it
to the messenger, and in voice loud
enough to be beard along the whole CORR
dor, said, "You give that to the Secretary
and tell him that / say this conduct Of his
is q id outrage"
