''How about the story that General Logan's
prominence led to kind of snub for the G. A.
Il. chiefsa"
''The fact was that Logan could not help re-
ceiving the ovation ne did. It would not have
done any good to try and escape it. Why, even
when we were going out there people would see
on the side of our car, From Massachusetts to
San Francisco and Selling members of our
party, inquire if we knew where Logan was,
and how soon he was coming. He certainly did
not court this applause to the exclusion Of the
others. 1t was simply that, of the whole assem-
blage, his was the figure that men wanted to see.
The enthusiasm he aroused was great"

Colonel Robertson having received q majority
of the ], 1874 votes, was declared the nominee OF
the convention, and. on the motion of Dir. Greg
DRY, seconded by Mr.. Posey, his nomination was
made unanimous In response to calls. Colonel
Robertson came forward from among the dele

received with enthusiastic applause, said that he
would be less than human if he should not de-
clare himself proud of such an Endorsement by
such a convention and of such party-a party
which never faiters in its duty, and is ready al
ways to do its whole duty. He hoped that the
results would prove that there had been no mis-
takes in theSday's work of the convention, and
that the election would redeem Indiana.
For Secretary of State, Posey presented the
name of Fritz Tn. Strituer, q man of honor, in
dustry and integrity, who never tired of working

: Byron K. Elliott, the nominee for Judge Of
the Supreme Court, was born IN Butler county,
Ohio, Sept a, 1885, and came to Indianapolis in
December, 1850. He was elected city attorney
of Indianapolis in May, 1859, and served two
years. He was captain in the One hundred and
thirty second Indiana Regiment, and served as
aid to Major general Milroy. In 1865 he was
again elected city attorney, receiving all the
votes cast at that election. In 1867 and again
in 1869, he was unanimously elected city attor-
ney, and in 1870, while holding that Office he
was elected, without opposition, to the office of
judge of the Criminal Court. but, at the unani-
nous request Of the City Council he resigned
that position TO accept the Office of city solicitor
In May, 1873, he was again unanimously
elected city attorney, and served until
May, 1875. In 1876 he was elected
judge of the Superior Court, and
was renomnated by acclamation in 1880 but re
signed to accept tho nomination for Supreme
professor in the law department of Butler Uni
versity and in the Central Law School. He has
written opinions many important subjects,
notably on the congtitutionality of the law sus-
tanning common schools, and on the validity
of the IL o'clock liquor law. His opinions have
done much to brush away the technicalites
which long INSTRUCTED the just administration of
the criminal law. His opinions have been ap-
proved by courts and law writer's, and the AL
bany Law Journal says: eve have moro than
once spoken of Chief justice Elliott as one of the
best judicial writer's in the country"

,bat is as TO the proposed retirement of
,be commons from the market for tax-pay-
;rr nurposes. Ii is part of the original
contract that these coupons shall be re-
cciyable for taxes, and this is an advan-
tege which taxpayers should not permit
o;tber the state or the bondhOlders TO de-
rrive them Of If the State means to be
honest and pay the debt, it must be wholly

cash Or in coupons; but it is a material
matter to the taxpayer whether he can
ave forty or fifty cents in the dollar or

rons without detriment to the rights and

Emf the blindest folly will prompt him to
surrender this right Oh, no, Mr. Royal :

months after his mother had been dead

pearances died and was buried The
night after her interment persons, for
the purpose of stealing the jewelry

when consciousness returned and she
wenthome. Arriving there she raped
at the door and was admitted by her
husband. who was over joyed at having
her restored to him. Four months
later Rev. Mr.. Lindsey was born. The
mother lived several years after this
event which might have been so dread
ful. II would not do 10 draw a moral
from this.
