THE CANDIDATE FROM INDIANA.
The Ticket Gives General S~atisfaction 4
Repubticans.

Republicans.
Chicago dispatch: J. s. Clarkson, Of
the national subcommittee which had in
charge the details of the republican ma
tional convention, was seen before leav-
ing for home to-day and questioned on
corning the success of the convention
and its results. When questioned as to
whether the nomination Of Harrison was
the result of a combination made before
the convention met on Monday he said:
SIT was not. The sharpest politician
could see NJ attempt to make any com
bination. When Harrison showed a ris-
ing pulse of strength the light came.
After two ballots the Iowa delegation,
which was governed more by party in
terests than ever for Senator Allison, saw
that the situation could be unlocked and
q favorable ticket reached, q ticket which
New York and Indiana, two necessary
states, had asked for and the nomina-
ton Of which would make those states
responsible for party success IN Novem-
Der.
Senator Allison had instructed to
subordinate his interests at all times to
the party's interests. Before doing so
we went to several of the. strongest
states and told them that solely for the
party interest and still realizing that
Allison had good chances left we were
willing to give up and unite on Harri-
son if they would go to him also. 1t
was a patriotic appeal, unselfish and
purely in the interest of the party. They
accepted it and Senator Allison was
withdrawn and his entire following
transferred to HARRISON. 1t is a fact
that Iowa made this choice, while at
heart [ think most of its delegates pre-
ferred Gresham. The ticket commands
and represents the full strength of the
republican party. No republican con-
v~ention has adjourned since the war
with everybody accepting the result as
unanimously as this convention adj
journed.
General HARRISON is as strong as his
party. New York demanded him, Indi-
n offered him, New Jersey accepted
him, Connecticut approved him and
California adopted him."
Chicago dispatch: Another story
about the Blaine kilograms, which was
told to a reporter yesterday evening,
was that Blaine feared that Boutelle and
manly would use their own Judgment
and refuse to read the dispatches to the
convention, and that in order to guard
against this possibility Blaine cabled his
son, Walter Blaine, instructions to have
those kilograms demanded by some
friend in the convention if the balloting
was persisted in. It was added that it
was only under Walker Blaine's threat
that he would do this that Boutelle read
the messages.

The Republican Candidate for President.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 26.-There was
much enthusiasm here to-day over the
news of the nomination of Gen. Harri-
son for president. Later in the after
noon a delegation from Plainfield and
Hendricks county called at the gener-
als home and were addressed by him as
follows:
Gentlemen: I sincerely thank you
for this evidence of friendliness. That
so many of my Hendricks county friends
should have reached indianapolis SO
soon after hearing the result Mt Chicago
is very gratifying. The people of your
county have always given me their most
hearty support whenever l have ap-
pealed to them for support. l have the
most affectionate interest in your county
and its people, especially because of the
fact that it furnished two companies OF
the regiment which [ took into the field.
Some of the best and most loyal of
these soldiers gave their lives for their
country in battle. These incidents
have attached me to the county, and [
trust / have yet, even here, among this
group some of my friends of the Seven
tieth Indiana survivors, who will always
be glad to extend to me, as L to them, a
comrades hand. 1 thank you for this
call"
In the evening a meeting was held at
the criminal court rooms, at the adj
journment of which a crowd about 5000
strong marched to the generals resi-
dence, and called for him. He ap-
peared. and said:
Neighbors and Friends: I am pro-
foundly sensible of the kindness which
your evidence tonight on gathering in
such large numbers to extend to me your
congratulations over the result at Chi
cago. 1t would be altogether inappro-
pirate that / should say anything of a
partisan character. Many of my neigh
bors who differ with me politically have
kindly extended to me as citizens of In
dianapolis, their congratulations over
this event. Such congratulations, as
well as those of my neighbors who SYM
pathize with me in my political beliefs,
are exceedingly gratifying. Ihave been
q long time a resident of indianapolis
over thirty years. Many who are here
before me have been with me during all
these years citizens of the great and
growing capital of this magnificent state.
growth of this city. We are proud of
its position to-day, and we look forward
in future to the development which shall
outstrip that which the years behind us
have told. I thank you sincerely for
the evidence that those who have known
me well and long give me still their conf
dence and respect. Kings sometimes
bestow decorations upon those whom
they desire to honor, but that man is
most highly decorated who has the af-
fectionate regard of his neighbors and
friends. L will only again thank you
most cordially for this demonstration of
your regard. I shall be glad from time
to time, as opportunity offers, to meet
you all personally, and regret that to-
night this crowd is SO great that it will
be impossible for me to take each one of
you by the hand. But we will be here
together, and my house will open its
doors gladly to any of you when you
may desire to see me-"

DOUGLAS AND SHERIDAN
Both Places Named as County
Seats Tuesday.
Democratic Sheriff, Treasurer and
Attorney for Converse.
Sheridan Casts More Votes Than
Older Counties.
Douglas Wins.

The bowler of Rawhide valley, the
garden spot of Wyoming, the terror of
the Platte and the young wolf Glenrock,
may now.r return to their peaceful avoca-
tons of conducting progressive news
papers and booming their. respective To-
%calities. In other words Editors Calkins,
Barrow and Kimball may rest from their
exhaustive campaign labors until the
slogan is sounded this fall.
The Converse county war is over. The
heated triangular contest is ended and all
concerned breathe steadily once more.
Douglas, the future great, thanks to
the indefatigable energies of its enter
prising residents, captured the plum. In
addition to being the commercial center of
central Wyoming, the town is now the
county seat of Converse county. Lusk
and Glenrock fought nobly, but fate was
against them. No figures are yet OBJ
tainable, but it is believed that the vote
was quite close. Before the conventions
there were loud threats of a coalition be-
tween Glenrock and Lusk to defeat the
plans Of the ambitious Douglasites, but
nothing came of it.
A special telegram received by THE
LEADER late last night says that lncom-
plete returns show positively that Douglas
has been chosen county seat and the fol-
lowing officers elected:
Sheriff-Malcolm Campbell. Douglas,
Democrat.
Clerk-Chas. NJ. Carver, Douglas, Re-
publican.
Treasurer and probate iudge-Edmund
j. Wells, Glenrock, Democrat.
Prosecuting attorney-F. H. Harvey,
Douglas, Democrat.
Their opponents were Robert S. Brown,
Chas. Rastaettter, Ad. A. Spaugh and
Daniel Prescott.
Further news from the seat of war will
be placed before the public SO soon as pos
sible.
Converse county, as is well known, was
created by the tenth Legislative assembly
and consists OF northern portions OF Lara
mic and Albany counties.
The bill for the enabling act was intro
duced in the council by Hon. @. A.
Guernsey and originally provided for two
small counties, to be known as Niobrara
and Fetterman. In the house Hon. W.
G. Sampson offered an amendment dis
placing the ~diminutive subdivisions and
substituting a large county to be called
Converse, The alteration was made and
subsequently concurred in by the council.
Immediately after the appointment of
commissioners to organize the counties
they were enioined from proceeding to
perform their duties. The iniunctions
were dissolved by Judge Magiunis and
the elections held Tuesday.

IN GOOD HANDS.

Territorial Bonds.
The Issue of 500, 900 Sold at a
Heavy Advance.
Wyoming Securities Sought After
by Eastern Firms.

N. w. Harris & Co., Chicago finan-
ciers, purchased 500, 1000 worth of the
territorial bonds yesterday for 500, 1856.
The securities bear interest at the rate Of
6 per cent per annum. The Harris COM
pany already hold Wyoming bonds aggre-
eating in value a large sum-.
The bonds negotiated were territorial

torial university at Laramie, S25, 900; ter
%ritoriaI insane stSlam at Evanston, $780,
600; territorial poor farm at Lander, S.,
900.
The sale was made by virtue of an act
providing for the erection, completion,
maintenance and care OF certain public
buildings and institutions, passed by the
tenth legislative assembly. The measure
originated in the house, the bill being
presented by Representative Weaver, of
this county. Bonds will be issued in de-
nominations of 81, 900 each, with interest
payable annually.
The sale was conducted under the su
pervision OF Attorney General Donzel-
man, Treasurer Voorhees, and Auditor
Grant.
At noon yesterday the bids were opened
at the office of Deputy Auditor Stewart
in the presence of the board and several
representatives Of eastern brokers.
From MONDAY until abont A o'clock the
air was heavily I~mpregnated with figures.
The territorial officials and the bankers
agents used at least half a gross of pen
ellis, and covered several reams of paper
with figures during the session. The ex-
act amount of interest accruing to each
bond during its lifetime was ascertained to
the tenth of one mill, and the profit real
lied by the territory reduced to figures.
There was lively competitor in the bid
ding. Appended is a list of the appli-
cants and sums offered:
Municipal Investment company, Chi
cago, for $25, 900 Of bonds, $24, $50.
N. w. Harris & Co., Chicago, for
whole issue, 800, 1856.

to be delivered at their expense.
Fidelity Trust company. Kansas City,
for whole issue, par and Sc per cent plus
$25.
Fidelity Trust company, Kansas City,
for whole issue, par and u per cent.
The fact that the bonds were sought
for with avidity is very pleasing to all in
terested. The number of bidders evil
dences that the outside world has an eye
on Wyoming.
So soon as the deal for the bonds is
closed work on the buildings for which
the money was appropriated will com
mence.
