Our Delegates to chicago.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The most important business to come before
the Republicans of Indiana during the coming
campaign is that of soliciting delegates to the
national convention. II is useless to try to
disguise the fact that in the past we have not
always had men in our national conventions
equal to the task that there devolved upon
them. We do not want obscure men, men only
known in their own counties and unacquainted
with the many distinguished men whom they
must necessarily meet from other States.
The name of Gen, Benz Harrison will come
before that convention a candidate for the
first place on the ticket. His name will be pre-
scented. not as the candidate of the State of In
diana. but as the candidate of the great North
west. His name will be accepted by that con-
vention as representative of the new life and
new blood OF the Republican party. A man of
acknowledged ability, of long experience in pub
lie affairs, and one against whose private and
public life no word has ever been spoken. The
name OF such when presented
before a national convention ought to be
backed ant supported by men OF the highest
type find in the State. Able, resolute,
vantage of any emergency that may arise and
promptly fill any breach that may be made In
the ranks of delegations from other States
This cannot be done by ward workers, nor OBJ
scure and unknown men. We want men broad
enough and with courage enough to enable them
to act promptly in a great emergency and not
become stampeded at time when the greatest
GOODNESS and courage 10 needed. We have such
men IN every district in the State but they will
not push themselves TO the front and will not be
attention of the public is called 20 the ;mpor-
lance of having strong and determined dele
cation chosen. Will NOT the Journal urge this7

A Danger to nIe,hodism.

To tho Editor Of She indianapolis Journal:
I notice that Rev DR.. Parkhurst. of Green
castle. who recently came out for the third party
has announced series of sermons in his church
on Temperance and Prohibition" In view Of
his recent new departure. and the talk made
over it. it is easy to infer what his Temperance
and Prohibition speeches will amount to. in
view of the existing political conditions. am
also informed that regular meetings of a
third-party prohibition club are being held in
one OF the Methodist churches Ia this city.
am as loyal Methodist there is in the world,
and, therefore. say there is real danger to the
church this degradation of the pulpit and of
the church to the uses of party that 90 per
cent. of Methodists-all OF them the strongest
possible temperance men-do not believe in, but
do believe, with Bishop Merrill and other leaders
TO be folly worse The Methodist Church
cannot be hitched to the free-whisky Demo
cratic third-party alliance without great danger
TO the church. LAYMAN.

A Gard from MIR. John v. Parker.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jou rnaI:
Eyes. have concluded to stand" I see a
communication in yesterdays Evening News
headed, Delegates to the National Convention, y
in which ii says that Mayor Denny has
formally consented to stand as candidate for
delegate from this county to the national con-
vention; also stating that the line is being sharp
of the Seventh ward, because Parker is sup
posed to be for Judge Gresham, while Denny
is teeth and toe nails for General Harrison. The
and newsy document has, to pss mild eX
preston, been shooting far from the mark.
While have the highest regard for Judge
Gresham, and believe he could be elected and
would make model President, at the same
time am that the sentiments of the peo-
pie of the State are for Harrison, and that they
do not want divided delegation to the Chicago
convention from this State. / have been out
spoken for General Harrison and have talked of
no one else. and It is both false and malicious, as
far as my beir for Judge Gresham or any one
else in prefer ace to Harrison and the man or
clique of m "a that report me contrary are doing
from some sinister motive best known to
themselves The first report was that was an
uncomDromising Blaine Now that Mr..
Blaine is out of the race, they have with their
own sweet will made me a Gresham man. Well,
am for Gresham or any other man that gets
the nomination at Chicago. If I should be hon
trict shall voice the sentiment of the people
and support General Harrison. I fought with
him in the gallant old Fourth Army Corps and
know what kind of stuff he is made of. Yes
have concluded to stand. JOHN v. PARKER.

OPERATIONS OF JUDGE LYNCH.

-Four Hundred Men Take Texas Murderer
from Jail, and he Hangs Himself.
ST. Louis, March L.-Word has been received
from Carthage, Tex, that at early hour yes
terday morning 400 men forced open the Jail and
took out Tom Forsythe, who yesterday con-
fessed that he murdered County Treasurer Hill
by cutting off his head, and that he robbed him
Of $1,000. He was taken to tree in the jail
yard, his hands were tied behind him, and a
rope was placed around his neck. A ladder was
put up, and Forsythe assembled, requesting, as
he did So that he be allowed to execute himself.
A word of command was given by the leader of
the lynchers and Forsythe jumped from the
limb on which he stood His neck was broken,
and death occurred simultaneously. Thelynch-
took the body into the courthouse and laid
it on the blood spots of the murdered man III

and for the people let us go TO the sovereigns TO

the mind of each delegate that he could afford

The suggestions here made would add Interest
and zest to our township elections and il prop

Each Republican voter after he had deposited

time cast ballot for the man whose nomlna-

federate control of the government.
Our party has official loaves and fishes

CAIRO, H., March Capt. John Cox, of Bal

incident in connection with the double lynching
at Clinton Tuesday night. Price. one Of the
men hanged, was not dead when the mob left
the scene, but after being cut down by the conn
ty Judge became conscious and talked to those
about him. Word was sent to the leaders of the
mob, who returned about daylight and COM
peted the job by again hanging the victim, two
men at the same time hanging upon each Of his

to the limb. The cell of the mother of Price
as also broken open, and for time she also
was threatened with the rope. but better couh-
sci prevailed, and the attempt was abandoned.

Our national Convention.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
Indiana is doubtful State. New York and
other States are also doubtful A candidate for
President with present local popularity adds
greatly TO the chances of carrying the State in
which he lives. This truth has wisely guided
the Democracy since 1860 and they carried New
York in 1868, 1876 and 1884 The Republicans
in 1883 should not overlook this important ele-
ment in heading the national ticket The cues.
ton of present local popularity is difficult of COR
rect estimate or intelligent forecast. / am in
favor of nominating that Hoosier who can OBJ
tain the most electoral votes. Some Repubi can
newspapers claim that one competent Indinna
Republican is the first choice OF nine-tenths of
the party rank ana fle." other Repu blican
newspapers maintain that another competent
Indiana Republican is still also popular in this
State. If either of the eminent gentlemen SO
mentioned was nominated we coud more easily
carry this State.
There is still left the question of national
popularity as applied to the other doubtful
States. The whole question as to what Repub-
lcan on the ticket would probably secure the
most votes from the doubtful States can not be
fairly proven by the euogistic opinions of per-
soual friends and champions. How widely the
respective estimates differ2 We have a a popu-
lar election in Indiana April 2 1883. Why
not arrange for the Republicans of the State TO
cast a ballot for President at convenient places
near the polls on that day. This would accord
TO each wheeler of the party 'free vote and
q fair count for purposes of information The
result of this expression could be known q fort
night before the delegates are seiected- The
newspapers and boomers could thence speak
by the card touching the first choice of the
''wheelersa in Indiana. The silent voter thinks
much and has his own notions of men and
measures. Without faint of malice, and with
much charity toward all our great and good Re-
publicans, why not feel the pub

johnson City (Tenn.l Special
One of the happiest cases of reunion that
ever occurred took place on the train at John
son City this morning. A gentleman came up
from Knoxville on the morning train, intending
TO go up the narrow-ga1ge road. Changing
bis mind for some reason, he started back to
Knoxville. AS he approached the train a
gentleman heard HIM make a startled exclama-
ton as he saw face appear at one of the car
windows Rushing into the car, followed by
two or three bystanders, he seized q middle
aged lady By both hands; one glance of startled
recognition and both burst into tears of hap
piness. The gentleman, who gave his name as
Ward. briefly stated that he lived at Golc6nda,
ILL.,, and had been member of the Seventy
sixth Regiment, leaving his wife and three
children at home He had been wounded and
reported dead and when he returned he could
find trace of his family; and now when least
expecting It, he had found his long-lost wife
Mrs. Ward, hearing of her husbands death. had
married man named johnson. and moved to
Montgomery, Ala. She again became woidow
two years ago, and is now re- united to her first
husband. They viii go to Golconda, where
they will in future reside.
