The Mar.on county legislative conven-
ton was he'd In the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall, and
began at O'Clock with q large crowd pres
ent. County Chairman Moores called the
convention TO order, aud w. A. Ketcham
was made the chairman of the convention.
A. NJ. Ridenour and w. w. Milford were
selected as secretaries. A call of the roll
showed all the wards and townships rep
resented. A contest was announced In the
Tenth ward, and the convention appointed
q committee on credentials to settle it. G.
b. Feibleman was made chairman of the
committee. which retired to an ante-room
TO hear the evidence of both claimants.
While awaiting the report of the commit
tee Hon. Charles l.. Henry, Republican
candidate for Congress. appeared and was
received with loud applause. He was con-
Quoted to the stage, from which he spoke
as follows:
Gentlemen of the Conventional was

learned how TO cast their votes. there
need be no fear of the result on Nov. s.
Applause. The verdict will DO for the
Republican ticket from one end to the

Republican argument appeal strongly to
the safe. conservative thought of the conn

from our Democratic friends. Applause.

Mr.. Henry closed amid cheers and ap.
plause. Judge Chapman, of Anderson. was
next called out. He referred to the Demo-
cratic record of Madison county, which,
for thirty-six years. has been Democratic
by majorities ranging from $50 to one thou
SAND. But he said that now, with the adj
dition of q score or more of great industrial
concerns. bringing wealth, prosperity and
employment at high wages into the county,
Madison would join the Republican ranks,
and would overcome any possible Demo-
cratic majority that Hancock county may
give. If, indeed. it gives any He inquired
il any one knew why Marion county, the
scat of the States capital and of many
and widely diversified industries. should
DO Democratic. Why, he said, should

Albert w. Wishard was discovered IN the
audience and was forced to answer the
calls for speech. Advancing to the stage
he made q short but earnest and happy
reference to the strength of the wage-earn-
ers OF the city. Sixty per cent. of the
voters he said, carry their dinners in tin
buckets. This host of workingmen largely
compose the bone and sinew. the life and
force of the community. The right way to
make Marion county Republican, he said,
is to show the masses that they are better
off as Republicans than as Democrats. Jap

appeal to give the candidates in the ranks
of organized labor q just consideration. 1t

as it would be fair dealing. The speech
met with favor.
X. X. Shiel was also called upon, and re-
sponded briefly, promising thar even the
bartender on the county ticket will have
one Thousand majority.

no more than fair to seat all of the dele
