The Hendricks Club Resolves that Bailey Is
the Party's Nominee.

The Hendricks Club. of Indianapolis, which is
composed of the most active and brainy young
Democrats of the city, unanimously resolved. at
a meeting last night, that Bynum was not the
legal nominee of the party in this district and
that they would not support him under any
circumstances. butwould support Senator Bailey
The Meridian Democratic Club, it is said, have
also decided not to support Bynum. These are
the only Democratic clubs in the city, and oppo-
sition to Bynum seems to be very determined
and not at all on the decrease, The following is
the resolution of the Hendricks Club, which was
proposed by Colonel Maynard and seconded by
Thomas Cottrell:
Resolved. That we denounce the outrageous frauds
and wrongs resorted to by Jackson Landers and L. j.
Hackney in order unfairly force the nomination of
William D. Bynum upon the late congressional con.
tion against the wishes of majority of the legally
and rghtfuy eected delegates thereto and under no
circumstances will we support the nomination OBJ
tanned. ts.
Resolved, That Senator Leon o. Bailey having re-
ceived sixtyseven go votes being majority of the
regularlyeected delegates to the congressional
vention declare that this club will give him its
hearty support

German from this city named Henry Shaler. He
captured in all twenty five confederates, taking
at one time lieutenant and eighteen men, 1t
is told that he went out one day with poncho
thrown over his shoulders, so as to conceal his
blue coat and walked in among party of rebels
whom he requested to lay down their arms and
help carry some wounded men off the field
Surprising that he was one OF their
own men, the rebels complied with his
request, and followed him. When he
got them a safe distance from their arms, young
Shaler walked up to the lieutenant and ordered
him to give up his sword. The lieutenant re-
fused, but was compelled to obey the command
and the lone young German marched the whole
party of nineteen men into camp. At another
time, he captured captain and five men to-
