INDIANA's PROHIBITIONIsTs.
State Ticket Named Despite tn,
ConVentiOn's SnIit

A State Ticket Named Despite the
Conventions Split.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 24.-The Indiana
Prohibitionists are hopelessly divided on
the nomination of State ticket, and as
result the party is holding two conven-
tions here to-day. The section favoring
the nomination of a State ticket. with
M. E. Shield at the head, assembled in
English's Opera House, and effected a
permanent organization by re-electing Eli
+. Ritter, of this city, as Chairman. Mr..
Ritter, on taking the chair, delivered a
speech taVorIng the nomination of a State
| ticket. The faction opposed to the nomi-
| nation of State ticket, headed by DR..
Houser, b. b. ReynOld, j. B. Connor, and
others, is in session at the Grand Opera
| House.
Mr.. Ritter on taking the chair made a
speech urging the nomination of a State
| ticket. A long discussion followed on the
question OF pledging the members of the
convention to support the ticket and
platform, and a resolution to that effect
was finally adopted. About forty men,
bers declined to be bound by this action
and left the hall.
A communication was received from
the Anti-State Ticket Convention asking
for a conference. The request was at
first laid ON the table, but this action was
subsequently recOnsidered, ana a Con-
ference Committee was appointed.
Nothing was accomplished, however, by
the conference.
The following nominations were made:
For Goyernor-R. S. Dwiggins, of Jasper
county.
For Lieutenant-G -Governor-E. G. Siler,
of Hendricks.
For Secretary of State-B. F. Carter, of
Marion.
For Auditor-Eli Miller, of St. Joseph.
For Treasurer-A. j. Taylor, of Allen.
For Judge of the Supreme COurt-E. p.
Hammond, Of Jasper.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ti0n-Ryland Brown, of Marion.
The State Central Committee was in
structed to name candidates for Attorney
General and Presidential Electors. The
convention then adjourned.
THE PLATFORM
denounces the old parties for their failure to
recognize prohibition and declares in favor of
statutory prohibition; favOrs woman suffrage;
demands that the effects Of alcohol on the
human system be taught in the schools; and
ch lrges the last Legislature with treachery in
refusing to submit the pending amendment to
the constitution TO vote of the people.
The faction opposed to the nomination
of State ticket assembled in the Grand
Opera House and was called to order by
Z. p. Reynolds. A permanent organiza-
tiOn was effected by making William
Cumback Chairman, with a Vice Presi-
dent from each Congressional district.
A proposition looking to harmonious
action with the Shiel convention
was adopted, and a committee of confer
ence was appointed, but the conference
proved fruitless. DR.. Hauser addressed
the convention, and in the course of his
remarks charged that She'll was acting
traudulently. The meeting finally deter
mined to organize a Constitutional
Amendment Association, the object being
to secure the election of members of the
Legislature who will vote tor a constitu-
tional convention. The convention then
adjourned.

The Bakers Horse.

There was very stout and naughty
volunteer general in the Southern army
who had contrived to make himself
hated by his men, one of whom took
occasion to revenge himself as follows
The general, who was extremely vain
of his appearance and horsemanship,
dissatisfied with his own horse, secured
a large, snowy chestnut (the property
of n baker in a neiyhboring town.,
which he rode for the first time on the
occasion of grand review of the army
by the commander-in. chief. His enemy
heard OF tho transaction from the gar
rulous baker, and an inspiration came
TO him. On the day in question
the soldiers We're drawn up, the general
came curveting and caracoing down
the line, his immense frame squeezed
into the newest. tightest, most gorgeous
uniform that ever feld.oflicer sported,
conscious Of the eyes OF his chief,
and rejoicing to run his course, when
out stepped his enemy and shouted,
BREAD !" with voice like bassoon.
The horse, recognizing the famiia,
summons, stopped short, and presently
his rider was sprawling in the dust be-
fore his command, the most absurd figure
in the world.
