CRAWFORDSVILLE, June Especial.
The republican county convention was
held here today and was very tame
affair, much to the surprise of many,
who expected a big fight on account Of
the combinations and rings that have
been formed during the past few weeks.
The A. p. A. element did some very fine
work, but was completely routed, many
republicans being disguised with the
township ticket which the A. P. As sue
ceeded in putting in the field few weeks
ago.
The chairman. Col John c. Wingate,
in the opening speech, denounced Grover
Cleveland for declaiming that the tariff
was only a local issue (the colonel gets
little mixed on facts and scored the
administration generally.
There was the least ripple of excite
ment when the committee on rules re-
ported a rule to vote townships accord
ing to their numerical strength. This
was one OF the schemes TO secure sue
cess TO one of The rings, but 1t
was soon voted down Aside from
that the only excitement WIS &C.
cesiOned by the preparation of that
time tried and fire tested" chestnut.
1.-The ayes have it, which the chairman
sprung with and without prOvOcatiOn
whenever the opportunity offered itself.
Following is the ticket: Representa-
tive, E. T. McCrea; prosecuting attorney,
Dumont Kennedy: auditor. William NJ.
White; treasurer, William Johnson;

lam Harding
