FIFTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Plans for the Big Republican Meeting
mt Greencnstle Next Week.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, May 9.-The COM
ing Fifth district congressional conven-
ton, TO be held in this city May 15-Tues-
day next-is exciting the keenest interest
here. The meeting will be held in the opera
exceeds the supply. Chairman Daniel V.
Miller will be here this week and make all
the preliminary arrangements. There are
six candidates, and a protracted struggle
probably will result. Indications point to a
large attendance. The Terre Haute dele
and Clay county is promising to send over
three hundred. These delegations will bring
bands and a general whooping up for the
several candidates will be the result.
The meeting will take on a two-day as
pect from the fact that the district Lin
coin League is to meet for reorganization
Monday afternoon. Following that meet
the different delegations, and on Tuesday
there will be two conventions. The dele
gates to the Philadelphia convention will be
chosen first at 10 o'clock, after which at
1880 o'clock will come the congressional
convention. The same number of delegates
Q15 will serve in each convention, and in
most cases it is thought the same dele
gates will act.
The fourth-class postmasters of this dis
trict will meet in this city on the 14th and
many OF them will take advantage of the
date to take in the convention. Among the
names suggested for permanent chairman
of this convention is that of Enoch g.. Ho-
gate, of Hendricks county, as that and
Morgan counties are the only ones having
no candidates for Congress-.
