Hon. Richard Thompson. who was appointed
10 lead the Indiana delegation to Chicago, is
now In the seventy ninth year of his ace. He
took prominent part in the great campaign of
1910. which resulted in the election of Gen.
William Henry Harrison to the presidency, and
now. forty eight years afterwards, be hsads a
delegation to urge the nomination of q grandson
Of the first Harrison for the same high Office.
Mr.. Thompson said in bis speech to the conven-
ton yesterday that he belonged to another
generation. All bis compatriots OF the past
were gone and he was left alone. He gave his
first vote hfty.seven years ago, when few Of the
men around him now were born. Yet this old
ago, IL still hale and hearty and able TO do
strong work for the grandson Of his old friend
of Tippecanoe fame. He still speaks with the
ardor and eloouenee that distinguished his
youthful days and 10 fitting man in every re-

Z In the discussion Of Wednesday Senator In
gals asked the valiant Voorhees, If on certain
occasion o lot of soldiers did not threaten to
use q bell-rope upon himl The Senator in all
probability alluded to incident of which the
writer Of this article had personal knowledge.
Briefly stated, the incident was as follows:
The regiment which we had the honor 20 COM
mand had quite suddenly been exchanged, late
In the year 1862. and at once ordered to Mem
phjs. We were at home inkhls city at the time
this occurred but learning OF it by the dis
patches In the daily papers, We fastened To In
aisnapolis only to find that the command had
left for Cairo, Ill, the day previous. Taking the
first available train, with . number OF soldiers
belonging 70 the same command, We hastened
60 join the regiment hoping to overtake it be-
fore reaching Cairo. The train on which we left
Indianapolis passed through Terre Haute, on
tss way to Cairo. and had been on tho
way but q short time until we discovered q
commotion of some kind among the numerous
soldiers who at that period OF the war could be
found on almost any train. The excitement
among them was plainly visible. There Uas
much secret whispering from one to another;
but as yet we had no knowledge Of what the
commotion was about Pretty soon, however,

preached Us. and after saluting, inquired OF
what regiment We were the colonel On being
informed that 10 was the Twelfth Indiana In

had discovered that Dan Voorhees, was aboard,
aud they had determined they would not ride on
the same train with an individual OF such we'll
known disloyalty. and that they had
decided stop che train and put him of.
Reasoning that this might do the cause so
dear to the heart of every Union-loving man
more harm than good. We atonce endeavored to
put stop to the proceedings. Wehad not seen
Voorhees, at that time. but with the aid of an Of
icer or two belonging to the same regiment az

1t was hard work 10 do this. however, for the
ire of the men had been fully aroused. Some of
Them, indeed, did threaten to hang Voorhees,
with the bell-rope Of the cars. but the large ma
jority were In favor of stopping the train and
putting him OF in the woods. Had it not been
for our personal efforts We feel sure this would
most certainly have been done.

Gray's Slaughter Of Mcdonald.

According to Mr.. John W. Kern, Gov Gray
not only had no hand in defeating ex-senator
Mcdonald as delegate to the st. Louis con-
vention. but was ignorant that the latter had
any opposition. and throws the onus of the af-
fair on the Irish boys" of the Fifth Ward who,
he says, wanted one Of their nationality to 60.
But Mr.. Kern fails to state why the State con-
vention failed to rectify the blunder of
the city and county convention by
selecting Mr.. Mcdonald as one OF the
four delegates from the State at large. The
best and the worst of the whole business is that
Mr.. Mcdonald. who had devoted long life to
the advocacy and defense of Democratic princi-
pies, was slouehed for Mr.. McGannon. whose
