ROMANCE OF WILLIAM WESTER-
FIELD AND HELEN THOMAS.
Married After Many Years Of Waiting
-SchooImates and I'm Love More
Than Half a Century Ago.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
RUSHVILLE, Ind, April 1S.-William d.
Westerfield, aged seventy-four, wealthy
farmer of near Manila, and Mrs. Helen =.
Conoway, seventy-two. of New York city,
were married here yesterday afternoon by
Squire Thomas Poe. Mrs. Conoway. the
bride, has resided in New York for several
years and has two sons in business in
Brooklyn and another son in Cincinnati.
1t was arranged between her and Wester-
field that she should come to Rushville to
have the knot tied. She left New York last
Sunday and arrived here yesterday noon.
The wedding arrangements were all made
by Mr.. Westerfield. The aged couple
thought they were unnoticed as they
passed into the Justices Office, but an in
terested crowd greeted them on their re-
appearance and fairly deluged them with
rice. They left for Manila last night and
will reside on the grooms farm.
William d. Westerfield and Helen
Thomas were schoolmates together sixty
five years ago. Their childish acquaintance
ripened into love and they were engaged
to be married early in 1S4s. An unforeseen
difficulty of some kind crossed their path
same year Westerfeld married another
woman, and in 1851 Helen Thomas married
Charles S. Conoway. Her husband died
two years ago. and Mr.. Westerfield's first
wife died about one year ago. Westerfeld,
hearing his youthful sweetheart was living
a retired life as widow in New York,
wrote to her and opened a correspondence
which resulted in the matrimonial agree
ment. The children Of both parties were
satisfied to permit the old-time lovers TO
crafty their wishes and entered no objec-
tions. Mrs Westerfield is connected with
scme of the Oldest and best-known families
of this county. She is an aunt to former
Representative John Q. Thomas. Wester-
field has a large estate and is one Of the
leading farmers I'm his section.
Mrs. Westerfield remarked after the
wedding that love was a strange thing.
Here is William" she said, whom 1
loved well on to fifty-fve years ago, and
have not seen him for forty years. yet he
seems to me as dear as he ever did. I can
notice, however, that age has caused a
stoop in his shoulders since last saw him
I was tired OF the great big city, where you
never knew any one, and when William
proposed the marriage / lost no time, but
accented"

NASHVILLE. Tenn, April 1s.-On the
eve of the Republican state convention the
forces of Pension Commissioner Evans and
Congressman Brownlow are as far apart
as ever and split seems inevitable. The
Brownlow men have a large majority of
the uncontested delegates and claim $50 OF
the 337 contested votes. They claim they
will control the convention. The Evans fac
tion is bitter against the methods OF their
opponents and threaten to make contest
before the national convention unless they
receive what they consider just treatment.
At it's session to-day the state executive
committee decided to recommend Henry r.
Gibson for temporary chairman OF the con-
vention. A protest filed against the ma
jority of the committee preparing a tenn
porary roll and deciding who shall vote In
the temporary organization of the conven-
tion was tabled. 1t is expected Congress
man Brownlow will be chosen permanent
chairman.

VERMONT REPUBLICANS.
They Choose Delegates to Phsladel-
phfa and Adopt a Platform.


BURLINGTON, VT. April 1s-The Re-
publican state convention for the selection
of four delegates and four alternates 10
the national Republican convention in Phil
adelphia next June was held here to-day
and resulted in the choice of Cen J. f.
Mccullough of Bennington, Lieut.. Gov.
Henry c. Bates of st. Johnsbury. Edward
Wells of Burlington, and Lamont Nj. Reed
of Bellows Falls as delegates. The dele
cation was not instructed.
The resolutions reaffirmed allegiance to
''all the great historic principles for which
our party has stood from its foundation
as its consistent advocate and champion:
expressed belief in the policy of protection,
with such reciprocal trade relations with
friendly nations as seem wise; favored the
upbuiIding and protection of the American
merchant marine; an adequate and con-
stantly. improving system of coast and
harbor defenses; a firm, vigorous and dig
nifed foreign policy; the reasonable regu-
lation and restriction of immigration, and a
just and liberal administration of the pen
sion laws; the continual improvement and
enlargement of the navy; an isthmian ca
nal under American control and a cable
across the Pacific. The financial plank pro-
nounces strongly and heartily in favor
of the maintenance of the single gold
standard
Concerning the recently acquired islands
the platform says: 1--WE believe that this
country should manfully accept and shoul-
der the increased duties and responsible
ties that have come to it during the present
administration through the wish and free
choice of the people concerned in the acces-
sion Of the Hawaiian islands through the
fortunes of war and as the glorious fruit
of the heroic achievements of American
sailors and soldiers in the island posses
sions that became ours by the terms Of our
treaty with Spain. So long as any of the
inhabitants of any of these islands con-
tinue in acts Of insurrection against the
authority of the United States it is the
duty of thu government to quell such In
surrection and to establish there tranquil
lity and order"
The resolutions conclude by indorsing the
sions that became ours by the terms of our
great President"
