D. Bynum and Hon. A. c. Harris. The lat

high grade of ability, unquestioned character

former, as the Democratic candidate presents
a service of two years in which he has done
more than any other man in the State, probably
to degrade the public service, and to make his
office the mere servant of his personal ad-

has defeated his opponents through the

so Inundated by the disgrace that had fallen
upon her that she attempted suicide by hanging
herself with her apron. She was cut down, and
the apron was taken from her. In short time
she was again found hanging-this time with a

THE TICKET AND PLATFORM
Enthusiastically Received by the PeO-
pie, as by the Convention.
The Platform Commends itself to the IMAM
imous Approval of the Party-A Strong
and Winning Ticket Placed Upon 1t.
A Concise and Strong Document.

Richmond Palladium.
The only objection to the platform is its
length, but it will be good reading to all who de-
sire to know how utterly false to its promises the
Democratic party is now and has ever
been. The enumeration of Republican
principles is concisely and strongly
given. 1t is not, in the main. promises
of future action, but the record of principles
long avowed and consistently enforced by the
party under which the country has risen to the
highest credit and position among the nations of
the world. There IS no dCdging and no conceal
ments. On every question affecting the interests
of the people the Republicans of Indiana are out
spoken and emphatic.
On the subject of the liquor traffic the party is
clear and strong in its condemnation declaring
that "the attempted domination by the Liquor
League of political parties and legislation is a
menace to free institutions which must be met
and defeated" When this opening sentence of
the paragraph upon this subject was read the
convention received it with wild cheering of ap-
proval, and when the principle Of local option
was Endorsed in the words I'VE favor such laws
as will permit the people in their several locali-
ties to invoke such measures of restriction as
they may deem wise, the enthusiasm was almost
unbounded. There was no mStaking the senti
mont of the convention upon this question. A
second reading of the resolution was called for
that it might again receive the earnest and en-
thuslastic Endorsement of the representative
Republic of Indiana. There was not a dis
senting voice in the whole assemblage. War
was unanimously declared against the Liquor
League and its ally, the Democratic party, and
the rights of the people to free themselves from
the oppressive traffic by popular vote was with
one voice asserted, while indemnity for the bur
dens it imposes proclaimed. This bold step
to the front on this subject by the Republicans
OF Indiana is characteristic of the party, and
guarantee that it will be in the future, as it has
been in the past, leader in all of the great re-
forms of the times whether political moral,
where the interests of the people are involved,
and where legislation may be required.

Good Feeling in Shelby County.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
If the Republicans all over the State are as
happy and jubiiant as they are in this county
the State would be on broad grin. The join:
representative convention for the counties
of Marion. Hancock and Shelby named
Mr.. Sid Conger, one of our best citi
zens to make the race for Repre-
sentative. Mr.. Conger is a farmer, but man
of great executive ability, smart as whip
cracker, fine political organizer. and as hand
shaker and mixer he can't be beat in the State.
1t is only necessary, in order to show his popu-
larity, to state that in 1882 Mr.. Conger was in
duced to make the race for county sheriff on the
Republican ticket The campaign was bitter
one; the opposition spent thousands of dollars
waged an uncompromsing personal war. but not
a word of abuse could they find to use against
Mr.. Concer He made gallant race, overcoming
the nine hundred Democratic majority, and was
elected by over FIVE hundred votes In the race
he has now entered on Mr.. Conger is conscious of
the fact that he has work before him. He left
the sheriff's Office with more friends than when
he went ill., and to-day he is the most popular
man In Shelby county Mr. Conger is particu-
larry the laborlng mans friend, and will receive
the united support of every labor organization
in the district. His election is a foregone con-
clusion, but he will make the majority as large
as possible The State convention made us
smile again by nominating Mr.. Louis r. Niche
ner. of this city. for Attorney general. AS a
party leader Mr.. Kitchener has no superiors and
but few equals. He is a man of commanding
appearance, fine debater, knows how to make
and retain friends, but, above all, politician
he understands the work of making full. com
plete and perfect organization. The Repub-
leans Of this county never knew anything about
conducting a campaign before Mir. Kitchener
came here Previous to that time, when a county
convention was called hundred or two men
would come together, go through the form OF
nominating ticket or part of ticket, the en-
tire proceedings being more like funeral than
politica! gathering.
