Two Candidates Who Want to Go to
the National Convention

the National Convention.
Ex-State Senator Loveland, of Peru, was
in the city yesterday. Mr.. Loveland says
there is a hot fight in his county, Miami.
over the question of VINO shall be delegate
to the national convention. 1t is practically
decided that one of the delegates will be
w. L. Sines, of North Manchester. Wabash
county. The other delegate has been con-
ceded to Miami county, but Miami is en-
barrassed by the wealth of her delegate
timber. The Miami aspirants are Abraham
L. Lawshe, of the Converse Journal. and
Ira Myers, of Peru. The Miami county
delegates have been selected ard d majority
of them are favorable to Lawshe- Ordi-
narily, a district convention would allow
a county to decide a question ike this
for itself. but in this case other considera-
lions enter. 1t was Ira Myers ard his
friends who succeeded in splitting the Miami
county delegation on James f. Statesman
in the interest of Major Steele at the
Kokomo convention last Tuesday. 1t was
this split that prompted the withdrawal
of Statesman before the convention got TO
a ballot, resulting in the nomination OF
Steele by reclamation. Mr.. Myers and his
friends are now asking that Grant county
shall return the favor by casting their
vote for Myers at the Huntington conyen-
ton, on the 18th. and Grant county Re
political debts. The solid vote of Grant
county cast for one candidate or the other
would go a long way toward the settle
ment of the controversy. On the other
hand. the Lawshe following, which was
loyal to Statesman. recall that the latter
withdrew and gave Major steele a. clear
field, and that in recognition OF this the
least that the friends of Major steele can
do would be to divide their votes between
Myers and Lawshe, and allow Miami coun-
ty to decide Ii.

Allen Clark Says Ii VIII Control the
Chicago DELEGATION.

Allen Clark. of Greensburg, president of
the State Silver League, was In the city
yesterday looking after the interests Of
the movement of which he is the head
In India Ia. The date of the Democratic
convention which will nominate a candi-
date for Congress in Mr.. Clark's district,
the Fourth, will be liked tomorrow. Mr..
Clark says that the district will nominate
a candidate for Congress whose views on
the money question agree with those of the
free-coinage people. He says further that
the international bimetallism that the State
organ is advocating is not the sort of
money declaration with which the silver adj
vocates intend TO go TO the country; that
that sort of a straddle would be as OBJ
jectionable as an out-and-out declaration
for a single gold standard and that the
silver people will have an unequivocal
or know the reason why: He Gays that
the free-silver people are hard at work in
every part of the State and that the cause
of silver within the lines of the Democrat
&c party is making progress every day.
Every two weeks the executive commit
tee holds a meeting here, reports or the
progress of the work are received and the
efforts OF the organization are directed TO
those quarters where the expenditure of
a little time and ammunition promises to
affect results. There have been evidences
of increased agsresSiveness and audacity on
the part of the silverites ever since their
threat, that they would split the party
wide open, prevented the postponement of
the State convention until after the national
convention, and ever since hat ime they
have appeared to have the upper hand in
the controversy. Mr.. Clark says there is
no longer any doubt that the financial
plank in the next State platform will be
further that they will send a silver delega-
ton to the Democratic national convention.

in the right leg, making a light flesh wound.
The guard who did the shooting and the

THE MESSAGE UNNERvED HER.
Mrs. George Raper Fell from the Tel
ephone to the Floor.

II was a sad telephone message that came
to Mrs. George Raper at the Denison Hotel
q few minutes before 3 o'clock last night. 1t
was a death m-essage-kindly meant. but de-
livered An the bluntest way. and the scene
that followed was pitiful and almost tragic.
Mrs Raper is the wife of the proprietor of
the Denison House news stand. For the last
six months Mr.. Raper has been in California
seeking health Two months ago Charles f,
Rsper. the only son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Raper,
fell Ill with rheumatism. which rapidly de-
yeloped into a more serious malady. Since
her sons Illness. IL has been necessary for
Mrs Raper to come down TO the hotel and
relieve the clerk at the news stand at meal
time Last night she was taking her usual
turn founS Raper was apparently much
better when she left home in the evening.
anG she felt hopeful OF his recovery. After
supper business was rushing at the news
stand. and Mrs Raper remained longer than
usual. Early in tho evening she had been
friends over the telephone. and when the
bell rang at $40 O'Clock she supposed that
one OF her acquaintances was at the other
end OF the line with some trivial message.
There's my lady friersis again." she re-
marked with a'gay laugh 10 the clerk, taking
down the receiver.
Hello. Yes. this is Mrs. Raper-,
o. son has just died" were the words
that interrupted her.
The message came as a terrible shock, and
shrek that echoed through the corridors of
the hotel. As the scream left her lips. the
poor woman feel TO the floor in a swoon. AS
she tottered backward several men stand
ing near rushed to her assistance. but were
not In time TO prevent her from striking the
floor. Dr. Reynolds happened 10 be in the
hotel and rendered prompt medical assist
ance. IL was ten or fifteen minutes before
Mrs. Raper recovered sufficiently TO be
taken home.
Although Mrs. Raper realized the serious
condition OF her son. his death was entirely
unexpected. He was about twenty years
OF age. For several years he has been as
sisting his father about the news stand. and
was very popular with the hotel people. The

Ex-Judge Elliott. Opinion.

The opinion OF Byron X. Elliott on the
rights of the Central Union Telephone Com
pany holds that the company has certain
rights here for the term OF its corporate
existence within the State. regardless of the
fact that the ordinances under which it
Is operating contain provisions for their re-
peal. The opinion cites the ordinances and
their passages, but says it has become a
rule Of law, mentioning the street-car case
as an instance, that indefinite franchises run
as long as the life Of the charter OF the
company accepting them. He says 1t has
even been held that municipalities have no
right to restrict the term of a franchise to
a less time than the corporate existence of
a company, but thinks this is stretching the
matter somewhat and would not hold in a
court Of last resort.
