and the gallery. The Marion county dele
cation occupied seats at the center and
front of the hall, next TO the speaker
stand.
Seen from the press box the hundreds of
delegates on the floor and the balcony APP
peared as a sea of faces eager to see and
hear everything that could be applauded
by representatives of the stalwart Repub-
licanisn of Indiana, while the only touch
of color to relieve the sombre tone of
their clothing was afforded by carnations
on coat lapels and badges of candidates
pinned beside them.
The first demonstration of the afternoon
came upon the arrival of j. Frank Hanly
candidate for the nomination of Governor
who arrived and took seat upon the
stage early. ms supporters made the hall
echo for several moments. Governor Dur
bins appearance was the signal for an
other outburst of applause. The climax
came when the two senators were to-
gether ushered upon the stage by Chairman
Goodrich. and q long burst of cheering and
hand clapping gave evidence of the audi
ence's note of the fact Immediately after
their arrival the convention was called to

TALE OF BLOODSHED
At 4 CONVENTION

A st. Joseph county delegate was in a
reminiscent mood last night and related
his experience at a former state Republic
an convention when his delegation was
actively working for the candidacy of
Aaron Jones, now president of the Ma
tional Grange. for the nomination for sec
rotary of state.
A number of the ST. Joseph county dele
gates were occupying the same room at a
nameless indianapolis hotel on the double
up" plan. but found that the cots to which
they had been assigned were already &C.
cupied-by certain small, but belligerent
bedfellows--that made sleep a thing more
desired than actual The delegates fell to
and slew several dozen of the denizens of
the beds. arranged them upon a large card
and pinned the card to a pillow where it
would be found by the hotel people in the
morning, with this explanatory note:
Good Republican blood shed in the
cause of Aaron Jones'.

Of the delegates at the English yesterday
had TO do with southern Indiana delegate
and wig. The delegate had a lamentable
lack of hair on the top of his head and a
desire TO make a good appearance at the
state convention. He accordingly ordered
q wig from an Indianapolis house. and re-
ceived the wig in good time sto wear 1t to
the convention. But for lack of actual
personal measurement the wig did not fit,
and the delegate was forced to wear a wig
that was not in accord with his heads re-
quirements. Once here. he made haste to
have the wig altered to fit his head When
he was able TO attend yesterdays session
with more comfort than he made his jour-
ney TO the city.
