Tame Affair.

Nominate NlntsOn for GOvernor-A very
Tame Affair.
ISDMNAroLrs, ND, April 26.-The
Democrats of Indiana met in conven-
ton this morning in Tomlinson Hall,
one Of the largest rooms Of the kind in
the West, and having Il seating capacity
Of nearly five thousand people.
The main floor was reserved for the
delegates, while the galleries and lob.
bics were crowded with spectators and
friends OF the various candidates. A
noticeable feature was the predomi-
nance Of gray headed men in the assem-
blage.
More than usual interest was mani
Tested in the outcome OF the days work
by reason Of the bitter feeling that has
been engCndered between the friends OF
Governor Gray and ex-senator McDon-
aid, and which eliminated on Wednes-
day in an address from the latter to his
friends throughout the State. In it the
ex-senator says some very uncompli-
mentary things about the Governor.
Many Democrats who have not taken
sides in the matter regret McDonald's
course.
Another incident that added to the in
tercst was the TACT that John E. Sullivan,
one Of the men indicted for participat-
ing in the late tally sheet forgeries, was
apersistent candidate for delegate to the
St, Louis convention from the Seventh
district. His candidacy, however, was
against the wishes Of the better element
Of the party and compelled his with
dHwal, but not until he saw no hope OF
success,
