A Wise Nomination.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The Indiana Republican convention did wise
thing in nominating Captain ]. A. Lemcke for
Treasurer of State Captain Lemcke is man
of large business experience. and has long been
identified with many of the most prominent
commercial enterprises of southern Indiana He
is q man OF high character and has an estab-
lished reputation for integrity. His experience
and ability in financial affairs will enable him,
if elected, to render his State good and efficient
service, and that he will devote his best energies

know him. 1t is an honor to the State to have

be wondered at, as it gives much of quality and
saving grace to his sustentation of the view that
the Union men of the mountains of the South
were 'plunderers,' and engaged in plundering
the neighborhood,' and is singularly astute and
strong bid for succor. besides being bill of
health. But Carroll proves beyond question Of
doubt that he was detailed TO secure recruits:
There is no evidence that at the time Carroll
was shot he was doing anything other than re-
cruiting service, and instead of being with a
band, one of the party who shot him swears that
they came on him and Perkins, and fired several
shots at them, wounding him in the right side
and him.

Democrat interviewing corps, and a more vari-

any topic. The preferences avowed show what
Indiana men think of Harrison and Porter as a

proper acknowledgements to the church author

elders regarding the ministers in their districts.
The FIVE districts were reported. and the minis

Lafayette Call.


The Republican State convention made a
strong and wel-distributed ticket, composed
largely of young men, and entirely of men of
unblemished reputation. Mr.. Byram. of In
dianapolis had many friends here who regret
that he could have no place on the ticket, but
who appreciate that his defeat was brought
about by considerations of locality and other
circumstances which render it no disparagement
that he failed to win.
