with Nelson. Faris and Johnston In

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

special 10 the Indianapolis journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. S.-More
than half of the 215 delegates to the Re-
publican congressional convention to be
held here tomorrow are in the city to-
night. Five candidates will be placed in
nomination: Hon. Thomas II. Nelson and
George w. Faris, of this city: Judge Buff.
of Sullivan; j. w. Halliday, of Clay. and
eX-Congressman Johnston, of Parke.
The contest at the start is expected to be
between Nelson Faris and Johnston. The
most spirited feature of the contest is in
the delegation from this county, where
Faris's enemies are advocating the nominal
ton of Nelson. Faris said to-night that
this opposition was milne 10 a few
men, and that he would have at least
forty-fve of the sixty-two votes of the
county on the first ballot. He expects
votes also from Montgomery and Fountain
counties. Nelson's friends say he will get
Sullivan county's vote after the first bal
lot, and perhaps that of Clay. Johnston's
friends claim sixty votes on the first bal
lot and profess to nave had some sort of
promise from some of the Terre Haute
anti-Faris people of votes after one or two
ballots.
Most of the delegates who are here have
come ahead to learn what is the best thing
to do and will not say how they will vote.
Col. r. w. Thompson will be chairman of
the convention.

Bruno PiIghein's Varying Career.
Springfield Republican.

~ 4NCIdOAINdha
Bruno Pilghein, the Munich artist at the
head of the new school of revolt, died a
few weeks ago in his forty-seventh year.
He began as a religious painter. failed in
that speciality, turned 10 the depletion OF
jokes and risky subjects and succeeded,
returned to religion, tried sculpture and
then painting saints and madonnas, and
was no more successful than before. Since
his last failure, fourteen years ago., he has
been busy on able and questionable pastels
for himself. Eight years ago, however. he
sprang into fame by a cyclorama Of the
CrucifiXion. which won general praise. The
Royal Academy at Munich made him an
honorary professor, and his last years have
been full of honors. His masterpiece was
a large painting of a blind girl groplng her
way through a field of scarlet peoples. But
1t Is the irony of fate that the only thing
that ever brought Pilghein's name to these
shores was a humorous pastel of a little
girl and dog seated on a plank over a
stream, with their backs TO the spectator.
