The rain beat down on the camp of the
Indiana National Guard at Fairview yes
terday afternoon and interfered somewhat
with the routine of the camp. But there
was no serious damage and the men ell
joyed the cooling effects of the downpour.
The water ran in little gulleys here and
there and in the low places there were
pools where the water stood more than
shoe-top deep. The soldiers are we'll shod
however, and they were not seriously in
convenienced by the wet camp ground.
The rain interfered seriously with the
target practice and the afternoon drills.
There was some target practice in the
morning. In the evening after mess the
ground was wet that the regimental
dress parade was abandoned. The weather

the crowds they would have carried had
the weather been better. A good many peo-
pie went out. however. about supper time
and last night there was considerable
traffic in the direction of the camp.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Ind, July 4-The
Democratic congressional nominating con-
vention for the Ninth congressional district
was held in this city to-day. The delegates
were called to order by District Chairman
Charles F. S. Neal, and Rev. w. o. He'd
rick offered prayer Clifton Utter read the
official call Hon. Hannibal P. Yount. of
Fountain county, made temporary
chairman. and Mr.. Ralston. of Upton, tenn
porary secretary. The several counties
then handed in the names for the different
committees.
At this point George Harvey appeared on
the stage and said he thought il for the
best interest of all concerned that his name
be not presented to this convention a
candidate for Congress. and that even then
he Gid not know his own strength nor that
of his opponent, Allen. He hoped for the
success of the party and promised to sup
port the nominee and wished his friends to
do the same. Mr. Harvey had been called
to Company NJ at Indianapolis and had to
leave at o'clock, this being the reason he
had spoken now. An adjournment was
then taken until o'clock.
The convention was called to order at
Ills p. m. and the reports of the commit
tees on permanent organization, creden-
tails and resolutions were presented and
adpoted. Theodore p. Davis, of Hamilton
county, was made permanent chairman.
and +. p Champion. of Delphi permanent
secretary.
Morton Morrison, of Clinton, presented
the name of David Il. Allen, and with il a
long set of reasons why all good Demo-
Gratis could support him. claiming him TO
be an original 16-to-1 man and just the
man for the place. Fountain county Sec
onded the nomination of Allen. NJ T..
Clodfelter, of Montgomery, on behalf of
George f. Harvey, withdrew his name and
pledged support to Allen. Hamilton coun-
ty, through Mr. Wallingsford, also Endorsed

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July A.-The an
nouncement of the nomination of
Captain ID. f. Allen fell very fat
upon the Democrats of this city Al
lens record on the money and colonial
questions does not ''set Well with those
believing in consistency. Some time ago
it was feared that Allen might get a few
Republican soldier votes in Hamilton coun-
~, but his recent utterances on the Phil
ippine question have made the soldiers
solid for Lands. Allen will not carry any
more than his party vote. The disaffec-
tions in this county against Landis two
and four years ago. on account of postof-
flee appointments, have all disappeared
and ne will carry Hamilton by LOO ma
jority this year. At the last election he
carried this county by l,642 and was elected
by 1880 in the district.
