4NOlANAfOLlS, 1Hu., aug. o.-O:OU p.
M.-Gen. Hovey has just been nomi-
mated for Governor. Davis County
changed two votes to Hovey. Conven-
ton wild with enthusiasm. Ballot not
yet announced.
INDIANAPOLIS, ind, Aug. 8.-The local
interest manifested in the Republican
state convention, which opened this
morning, was fitting reflex to the at
tention that the gathering is attracting
throughout the country. Long before
the doors were opened the streets on
either side of the city market house,
over which the hall is located, were
packed to suffocation and it was found
necessary to admit the delegates
by side door. When the main en-
galleries were filled in twinkling, and
even then there was little apparent
diminution in the crowds upon the out
side. Every few minutes cheers were
called for Gen. Harrison and heartily
given.
The great convention hall has seat
ing capacity of nearly 1000 and was
crowded to overlooking, several hum
dred ladies being present in the gall
ler1es. There are l, $50 delegates and as
many alternates. The hall is tastefrllly
decorated-a large silk flag is suspended
from above the front of the stage, in the
center of which is a portrait, heroic size,
of Gen. Harrison. On either side of
the stage hangs the stars and stripes
while surrounding the hall hang numer-
GUS pictures of Harrison and Morton,
Garfield, Lincoln, Grant and others.
Over 500 prominent Republicans occupy
the platform and great enthusiasm pre-
vailed for half an hour prior to calling
the convention to order, the band play
ing Marching Through Georgia. and
the vast audience joining in the chorus.
Generally speaking, the situation is
just as uncertain this morning as it
has been since ex-Gov. Porter's
name to go before the conven-
ton for the gubernatorial nomination.
There is still as much likelihood as ever
that. realizing the vital necessity that
exists, for his name to be at the head of
the ticket, the delegates will insist upon
presenting his name and getting it
through with a rush. In this event the
ticket is likely to be made up in this
shape: Governor, Albert q. Porter;
lieutenant-gover1or, Robert S. Robert
son; secretary of state, Charles f.
Griffin; treasurer, J. E. Leimcke; au-
ditor, Bruce Parr; attorney general,
Louis Meichener; superintendent of
public instruction, II. M. La Toilette;
clerk supreme court, William 7. Noble;
reporter supreme court, John L.

Across the Atlantic.

Across the Atlantic.
New YORK, Aug. 10.-The passage of
the City of New York was al
most without incident The break
ing of the vacuum pump in the
engine, which delayed the ship
twelve hours, was the only exception.
Mr., Blaine enjoyed the voyage. He
made many acquaintance among the
passengers and took lively in
terest in everything that was
going on. The City of New York
anchored at sunrise outside the bar.
The eager passengers were given all
the latest news, and the announcement
of Gen. Sheridan's death was received
with great sorrow. The noise aroused
Mr.. Blaine and his wellknown features
were seen for moment at the portfolio
of his stateroom.
In reply to question as to his health,
Mr.. Blaine said: 81 am feeling very
vigorous. My trip has renewed my
youth"
There was no attempt to make fast
time on this trip and except for their
Impotence at the some what slow time
the passengers enjoyed a remarkably
pleasant voyage. There was first de-
lay at Queenstown, where on

speedy one, however, and after the first
day OF delay she made 420 knots. Then
for three days AL, 425 and 44S each
day.
Mr.. Blaine came on board in the
hest of health and spirits. He did not
60 ashore at Queenstown but chatted
freely with the many Irish re-
porters who came on board ship with
out being interviewed by them at
all. Mr.. Blaine, who is very sensitive to
WEAKNESS, was not at all i'll, took his
meals regularly and spent much time in
the captains room with Messrs Girls
com, Scott and Cossett and Lord Lough-
imer.
On Wednesday evening the saloon
was turned into court room for mock
trial of Marshal P. Wilder for breach of
promise. ]. r. Dospassos prosecuted,
Col. Kawolsky, of California, was for the
defense and Father O'Reilly was Judge.
1t was rich treat of fun and Mr.. Blaine
laughed as heartily as any present.

the Democratic raid on this Northern

Importance of West Virginia.

From the Washington Star.
The Republicans may be expected to
cultivate with assiduity their chances in
West Virginia, because the six electoral
votes of the state added to those of Har-
rison's own state and the generally con-
coded Republican states, would elect
Harrison without the aid of New York,
New jersey or Connecticut.

Pat. the Barrel and the Bull,

How did you come over, Pat?" asked the Journal man of a we'll known laborer in the yard of one of the Lewiston mills after the story teller had done telling his story.
 Il left home," he began, after expressions of difidence, "when I was lad, and my cousin, says he to me, my boy, my boy and be- gorry I was sad indeed. I didn't ship or pay any passage. I didn't register on the ships books, for them days was afore the steamship times. I just slowed myself in the ships hold, nntil one day the churnin' and the thumpin' got that loud that I was afraid, and I come aloft to the main deck of the ship"
 After he got on deck, his narra- tive continues, the captain fell on him and gave him three lashings day on his bare back with un- failing. regularity. This became so monotonous that one day he fell on his knees and pleaded for his life, and the captain had big eask rolled up out of the ships hold, the head knocked in, lot of food put into it, Patrick put into the cask. the head replaced, and with only bung hole open, the en- tire cask and contents rolled into the sea. For days he drifted on and on. T had only the bung hole to look out of, and the great green waves all around me-"
 "How dld you get water?"
 ''All the water I had to drink was what washed through the bung hole"
 And you like salt water?"
 Sure its only a matter of taste."
 After Pat had drifted many days and had begun to grow very fat from his inactivity, he one day felt the cask bump on the shore, and pretty soon was washed up high and dry.
 With certain naivette, he said that he had by this time begun to be sort of frightened I saw no signs of life until after severa hours some COWS and bulls came roaming over the seashore, where they had come down to drink. At this point it is better not to ques- tion the tastes of COWS for salt water. One of the bulls came smelling around the cask, and playfully leaned up against the bunghole to rest. Pat put out his hand and quietly grabbed the bulls tail Then he pulled it through and bracing his feet against the head of the cask, gave the tail twist.
 The bull awoke. He looked around. The cask had him. With a snort like the wrath of Jove he started. Whew! How he run. He bounced over fields and hedges, into the streets of the city, past wharves and docks, past the GUS tom house up to the city building, where, in weathering a street cor her, he spit the cask in twain over a lamp post, and Pat stood forth from his prison house of weeks 8 free man.
 He was in New Jersey.
