THE THIRD DISTRICT.

Mr.. stockslager Denounces the Action Taken
by Mr.. Towards Friends.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON June 14-To-night the Journal
correspondent asked Assistant Land Commits
sioner Stockslager what he thought Of the situa-
ton in the Third congressional district since the
split at the meeting of the congressional COM
mittee on Saturday last. Mr.. Stockslager re-
pliedsthat he thought the split was the scheme
of Towards friends who saw defeat in the
nominating convention, and who were assuming
disposition to rule or ruin. He was very posi-
tive in his belief that the men who resolved to
hold q nominating convention at New Albany,
on Aug. ., were the authorized and legitimate
congressional committee aud stated that the
men who arrogated to themselves the orgauiza
ton of a congressional committee because they
had acted in that capacity four years ago had
acknowledged that the old organization was
not alive, or operative, when the chairman,
Hon. Alexander Davidson, of Seymour was
ignored by Secretary Riley, of the State central
committee, in calling the meeting for last Satur-
day. Mr. Stockslager predicts that the rule or
ruin crowd-the minority-will meet at North
Vernon, Aug. 81, and nominate Howard. and
that he lStockslagerl having already majority
of delegates. will be nominated at New Albany.
This will put two candidates in the field, but
Mr.. Howard, after such a nomination and receiv-
ing the indorsemept OF only apparent
minority, will not figure much in the canvass.

One More Victim of the Chicago Bomb.

CHICAGO, June IA forlorn hope was taken
this morning in the case of Nels Hansen. the
police officer who was so severely injured in the
Haymarket riot and who has been wavering be-
tween life and death at the County Hospital for
several weeks past. On Saturday his left leg
was amputated and it was fancied that the
strain on his enfeebled system was too great. 1t
was then decided by the hospital staff that the
only means that offered any hope of the posi-
bilty of saving his life, or prolongng it
for short time, was the infusing into his veins
of a quantity of fresh blood from healthy, ro-
bust man. Eric Egeries, the officers brother
in-law. offered himself for the operation, and
this afternoon an incision was made in the main
artery of his left arm, and four ounces of blood
allowed to rush out. An incision was then
made in Officer Hansens right arm, and the pro-
cess of transferring his brother-in-laws blood
into the patient was in progress. He moved
restlessly to and fro, and after time a slight
tinge of color came into his face and lips The
operation was successfully performed, but after
suffering greatly for about two hours, he died at
the County Hospital He belonged to the
Fourth precinct, and was wounded in the arms,
body and legs. He leaves widow and six
children.

Senator Shermans Energetic Protest Against
the Confirmation of Mr.. Riley.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 14-The Senate commit.
tee on postohices and post roads devoted the en-
tire day to consideration Of the nomination Of
Mr.. Riley to be postmaster at Cincinnati and
were in session until o'clock this afternoon.
Senator Sherman appeared to oppose the con-
irmation, and he represented the views of all
the Republicans and reputable Democrats in
Cincinnati. He had no charges to make against
the integrity or ability Of Mr. Riley, who ia a
man of commercial standing and successful in
business, but he objected to him because Of his
political associations. He was the fgurehead of
what was known as the ''boodle ring of Haml-
ton county, and being man Of respectable asso-
Citations in society and business, and of reputable
character, had permitted himself, knowingly and
willingly, to be used as shield to cover their
frauds He had been selected by the doodle
ring" as a candidate for postmaster, the most
influential federal Office in Hamilton county,
and the President appointed him over the heads
of unobiectionable candidates who we're supported
by the reputable Democrats of the city. The Re-
publcans and reputable Democrats had united to
overthrow the "boOdle gang" and had been sue
cessful. Now the President, by recognizing the
leader OF the ring, was assisting to restore 1t to
power. 1t was an insult to the respectable peo-
Pile of Cincinnati to elevate such man to Office,
particularly upon the recommendations of those
who were back of him. Mr.. Sherman cited as
an illustration of Mr. Rileys connection with
the ring. the history Of what is known
as the Highland House convention, which, he
said. was the most notorious political gathering
ever held in any city. and at which all the politl
cal debauchng in Ohio originated. Mr.. Riley
was selected as chairman of this convention
because he was the only man Of responsibility
who would submit to the dictaton of the ring
and carry out their plans. He acted as their
creature on this oocasion-a mere puppet who
danced the strings were pulled from behind
His programme was cut and dried, and Riley's
rulings chairman were prepared for him in
advance. By those rulings two hundred respect
able Democratic delegates, who represented a
large portion of the commercial interests of the
city, were ousted and hoodlums we're seated in
their places. MIR. Sherman spoke at great length
and occupied the entire time in recitng Riley
political record Senator Payne will reply to
him in defense of Riley at the next meeting.

Large Attendance Expected To-day.

PITTsBURG, O., June 14.-To-day has been
very quiet Crowds have been coming in as
usual. but have been so orderly that the day has
been more like Sunday than Monday. Only
5000 people are on the grounds, probably owing
to wash-day, and the necessity for a drying pro-
cess at home after the dreuching rain of yester-
day. On Sunday five beeves, weighing 1000
pounds each, were consumed at dinner, and a
large hogshead of steak that had been reserved
for supper, had to be used to satisfy the multi
tude.
Tomorrow will be the great day for the mem
bers of the society. The curious have been sat
isfied and only delegates and home members will
attend on the morrow. Estimates given az TO
the probable number place it at 10000 to Il. 000
The weather promises to be fair and cool for
the great day; trains will run at frequent inter
walls from all directions, and every facility has
been furnished by the L., B. & W. railroad, the
only road running through near the grounds,
to accommodate everybody

are coming to see what Is to be seen and eat

streams Of carriages, buggies, hacks, and
wagons came pouring into the grounds.

o'clock every inch of this ground was occupied.
At $50 o'clock excursion trains began to arrive
from every direction-the largest single train
from the east bringing in twelve coaches packed
with people. By 10 o'clock no less than 10. 0G0
people were on the grounds. At this time,
clouds began to gather faster and faster,
and about II o'clock it began to pour in
torrents, and continued, without abating, until
o'clock when the clouds began to break, and
from that time the weather became brighter and
cooler. Hundreds of visitors left for home in
their carriages at the beginning of the storm;
others took to the empty coaches left on the
siding, and the remainder to the large dining
