The committee discussed the question OF
permitting nominating speeches TO be made.
1t was pointed out that with the long list
of candidates. even five-minute speeches
would be to long. The sense of the COM
mittee was that no nominating speeches
ought to be made but no action was taken
in the matter. The question will be left for
the committee on rules and permanent or
ganiZatiOn to decide.

LINCOLN LEAGUE PRESIDENT.
r.. Harry Miller at the Denixon, Ac-
companied by His Wife.

r. Harry Miller. of Fairmount, president
of the Lincoln League of Indiana, opened
headquarters in Room %. at the Denison
yesterday. Mr.. Miller is accompanied by
his wife, who delights in politics. Mrs. Mil
Ter is a real politician, as was illustrated
in her determination to attend the state
convention under adverse circumstances.
Miller is in business at Fairmount with
his wife's brother. They have a big gen.
eral store and good many clerks. Re-
Gently one or two of the young women in
the store have been off duty and day or
two ago when Miller remarked to his wife
that he thought it would be best for her
to remain at home and assist in the store.
she replied Not much; if it comes to that
Wen close up the store, for I'm going to
the state convention
President Miller had intended to have
meeting of the officers of the league last
night but it was found impossible to get
them together on account of the attrac-
lions elsewhere in the hotel. Had the
meeting been held it was the intention of
the president to ask the officers to select
a list of names suitable for the standing
committees that are to be appointed. This
will be done later, however.

welcomed in all candidates headquarters

candidate in the last gubernatorial con-
vention for lieutenant governor against

State politics, but his strong showing
against Gilbert attracted the attention of
politicians all over the State Shuts has
announced that he will again be a candi-
date for lieutenant governor at the next
convention, and he is conceded to be the

A CRAWFORDsVILLE MAN.
Henry III. Talbot VIII Act as an As
sistant Sergeant-at-Arms.

One of the sergeants-at-arms selected for
the state convention is Capt. Henry IL.
Talbot, of Charlottesville, who arrived
yesterday evening. Captain Talbot is a
Kentuckian. who fought in the Union army.
He was a gallant soldier and is a fine citi-
zen. While circulating among the candi-
dates last night Captain Talbot came
across one of the appellate judges. In
shaking hands with the judge the captain
remarked Judge, you remind me very
much of Henry Clay" The captain did
not recall the name of the judge. but in
telling of the incident afterward to some
friends he described the judge so accurate
ly that il was concluded he referred to
Judge Wiley.
Incidentally Captain Talbot, with large
delegation of Charlottesville citizens, who
came i'm yesterday, are interested in the
candidacy of Jacob Joel. 1t is conceded by
Joels friends that if Frank Martin is nom
mated for auditor there is no chance for
Joel. and they further concede that with
Sherrick nominated Joel would be crippled
but there would yet be a chance for his
nomination.

A NOTABLE DELEGATE.
Capt. johnson, of Ripley County, At
tended First state Convention.

One of the Ripley county delegates is
Captain Charles b. Johnson, of Napoleon.
Captain Johnson enjoys the distinction of
having been present at the first Republican
state convention in 1856 and every other
state convention since, except two-a rec
ord that is probably not excelled, If
equaled. by any Republican in the State.
II asked why he failed TO attend two Of
the conventions the captain modestly
points 10 the G. \. r. badge on the lapel
OF his coat and offers ii for his excuse
He was a member OF the Fifty-second In
diana Volunteer Infantry during the civil
war, serving first as a private and after

floor of the convention. Sixth and Seventh
ward Republicans yesterday presented the
name of Mayor Bookwater as chairman of
the delegation, and il is believed that Mr.
Bookwaiter will be given the honor Last
night he is said to have refused the chair
manship when first asked, but later gossip
indicated that he would accept.
Delegates discussed also who shall repre-
sent the Seventh district the committee
on resolutions. The name of r. O. Haw-
kins seemed to elicit the most favor, and
il is probable that he will be the choice of
the delegation for the place. Addison G.
Harris was also talked of as a possibility.
Mr.. Harris was named by State Chairman

mittee TO formulate a draft of the plat

SELECTION OF DELEGATES.
Convention VIII Consider Resolution
of Can't. English and X. o. Hawkins.

of Capt. English and X. ID. Hawkins.
One of the acts of the convention will be
10 approve resolution prepared by r. O.
Hawkins and Captain William f. English
setting out that the state central COM
mittee should formulate a set of rules to
govern the selection CT delegates to party
conventions of all kinds. The resolution
was prepared yesterday by Mr.. Hawkins
and approved by Captain English. 1t states
that neco ssity exists for some action on
the part of the committee in regard to
rules by which delegates shall be selected
from communities where primary laws are
not in operation. The resolution will be
adopted separately from the platform. il
is stated by the gentlemen who prepared
it. for the reason that il does not include
statement of principle or an issue. but sim
ply "A suggestion of reform
The resolution is the result Of discussion
which arose in the platform conference
held in the Denison Hotel Monday night
by the party leaders. Ii was suggested at
that time that some EXPIRE ssiOn be made
in the platform regarding the need of ac-
ton on the part OF the committee. George
F. McCullOch. of Muncie, remarked that
i'm many localities of the State candidates
were allowed to select their own delegates.
Addison c. Harris took the position that
it was a practice full OF danger for the
party and should be stopped. Others
agreed with him, and as a result the COM
mittee of two was appointed
In speaking of the resolution yesterday
Captain English said: The controversy
which arose recently in the con gressiOnaI
convention which nominated Mr.. Lands
for Congress over Baldwin demonstrated
that trouble is likely TO arise any time over
the loose practice Of allowing candidates
to name their own delegates. At that con-
VentiOn Baldwin was allowed to select his
delegates in Hamilton county and the dele
cation was contested with some feeling.
Lasting soreness might have arisen and
might arise at any time In similar conven-
tons.
Chairman Goodrich Of the state commit
tee. favors the adoption OF the resolution,
and thinks that rules of the nature sug-
gested should be formulated at once.
