Quarrel Over WolcOtt's Nomination.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RENSSELAER,, Ind, March 29.-The Re-
publican papers of this city have re-
pudiated the nomination of Eben III. VOL
colt at the Goodland convention. held on
last Tuesday, for joint senator for the
counties of White. Jasper and Newton. Mr..
Wolcott received q $40 votes and Mr..
Coover, of this county, received 26 40
votes. 1t is alleged that the Wolcott fac
ton i'm Newton county, by process I'M
known in legitimate politics. gave a por-
ton of the Coover support to Mr.. Wolcott,
thereby concentrating his nomination.
The correctness of the Newton county
vote as announced by the chairman was
questioned by the delegates to the con-
vention, but before the matter could be
fully decided the Wolcott faction broke
up the convention by loud yells and by
bringing brass band into the hall at an
opportune time. The Republican papers of
this city demand another convention and
the withdrawal of Mr.. Wolcott. AS 1t is
essential for Mr.. Wolcott to have the Re-
publican vote of this county to be elected,
the matter presents rather serious phase
in Republican circles.
