house to-day, and nominated candidate for
Congress The convention was called to order
by S. NJ Reeve, chairman of the district com
mittee, and James T. Rogers, of Martin county,
was chosen permanent chairman. Delegates
were present from every county in the district
except Green. On the call for nominations,
Col. N. H. Jepson, of this city, late candidate
for Secretary of State before the State conven-
ton, put in nomination Capt. George q. REILLY,
of Vincennes, who was nominated by acclama
ton, amid much enthusiasm. Captain
Reilly was called to the platform and
made neat and appropriate speech,
and was followed by J. W. Emison of Knox
county, and D. A. Graham. The latter is

The Republicans win Be successful.

Interview with Major Calkins.
Indiana has been and will continue to be a
pivotal State. Since the organization of the Re
publican party, with one exception, it has al
ways given its electoral vote to the Republican
candidate. When the vote was cast for Tilden
and Hendricks there was a third party vote
which proved disastrous to us. AT the present
time there is no such diversion, and have never
seen so much enthusiasm at this stage in the
canvass as there is for Blaine and Logan. 1t
amounts to popular outburst There are some
peculiar features of our voting population. We
poll one vote for each 3 81 head of population.
This is the largest vote in proportion to popula-

COL. GRAY AT HOME.
A Chilling Reception to the Democratic Can
didate for Governor.


didate for Governor.
Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
UNION City, June 27.-On Wednesday last at
1890 p. NJ, as the bulletin at the telephone ex-
change announced Gray's nomination the
Democratic candidate for Governor, not single
shout went up, though the announcement was
made to an eager and expectant crowd within
half block Of his office and in the very shadow
of his bank. Democrats, when twitted by Re
publcans about the want of enthusiasm over
the nomination of their fellow-townsman, said;
''Just wait till Ike gets home, and we will show
you our enthusiasm uncorked; we going to
give him a reception that will be a reception"
At once Gray's corporals and orderlies set out
to get up non-partisan jubilee, to show city
pride in the honor conferred on one of our citi-
zens, and to meet the exigencies of the occasion
sought an orator. Having nonein their own party,
they importuned a half dozen Republicans to do
the grand honors to their leader but none could
be found that could understand the bipartisan
reception part of the programme, so all de-
clined. Nothing daunted, they went to Win
chester and imported the far-famed orator and
mast-fed Democrat, Col. NJ B. Miller, and to
Greenville, Ohio, and corralled the long haired
Demosthenese of the Darke county bar, Charles
NJ Anderson, and had them in waiting
for the p M. Bee-line express,
which arrived in due season, laden with our own
Ike, the conquering hero. A band was there, a
hearse team and a colored driver-ft emblems
of the political funeral awaiting the Democrats
next November-the orators, ten Democrats and
about forty boys. Magnificent ovation AS the
Colonel was driven to his palatial residence not
word of welcome or shout of joy greeted his
hungry Once at his stoop, he was dumped
out the forty boys and ten Democrats dispersed,
the hearse team was stabbed and business was al
lowed to resume its normal condition Gray
will not carry the strength of his party in his
own ward.

His Insult to Mcdonald Four Years Ago
The Fee and Salary Bill.
Logansport Letter in Chicago Tribune.
The fact that four years ago Gray secretly
wound up boom in the Indiana Legislature
and secured the complimentary vote of his party
for United States Senator is also used against
him by the friends of Senator Mcdonald, who
will not forget this open insult. This compli-
mentary vote was generally conceded to Sena-
tor Mcdonald but Gray and his henchmen, by
promises and misrepresentation, gobbed it in.
1t will be remembered that four years ago Gray
used all his powerful influence in the State
Legislature to secure the passage of the fee and
salary bill, measure that would have trans
ferred thousands of dollars from the pockets of
the people TO those of county officials. Notwith-
standing Gray's hard work the bill was defeated.
1t is a fact that receives much comment. how
ever, that the county officials were his
most ardent supporters for the guber
Material nomination, and, indeed, were
instrumental in securing it, This will injure
him greatly, as well as the fact that he was one
