Home Their Points The Ex- , citable Mr. Baker. WASHINGTON'. April 27. In the pres ence ot crowded galleries and of almost a full membership, Messrs. Littleiield, of Elaine, and Williams, of Mississippi. in the House to-day made speeches intended lor the coming presidential campaign. The two speakers were wildly applauded by their respective Hides, but there was an absence of irsonalities such a a character ize the cla!h between Messrs. Dalzell and Cockran. Indeed, the best of humor pre vailed. ' Mr. Littlenld continually taunted the Democrats with th-? utterances of Mr. Cockran and by name called on several oi' the prominent members of that party in the House to answtr "yes" or "no" whether they approved Mr. Cockran's tariff views, and whether they Intended goin,r before the people oh the Issue of free trade. He defended the protective tariff system from every point of view. Mr. Williams, adoptjng the tactics of Mr. Littlefield, endeavored to force from the Republicans and from Mr.1 Littlefield In particular, categorical answers to sev eral questions which he deemed pertinent. Mr. Littlefield answered "yes" when asked if he approved of everything in the Mc Kin'ey administration, which enabled Mr. Wdliarns to remind him that he (Little Held) and Mr. Williams had stood together lu opposition to colonialism. Mr. Williams asserted that the Republicans were going before the people "on the issue borrowed from the gambler's table of standing pat." The House sat until late in the afternoon ,and then recessed until 9 o'clock at nighi. 'The night session lasted until after mid night. MR. LITTLE FIELD'S SPEECH. In beginning hi3 speech Mr. Littlefield aid it recently had been the privilege of the House to witness some very unusual and remarkable displays of parliamentary eloquence. "The gentleman from New York." he said, "has contributed in a large and remarkable degree to that rhetorical display." He congratulated the country upon Mr. Cockran's return to Congress, which brought forth Democratic applause, and paid a tribute to him as a man of ability and great capacity, but he said that the arguments that are supposed to main tain "that Utopian theory for fiscal legisla tion" had long been threadbare', frayed out, tool worn, trarel stained, and he raid "they now achieve a new distlncUW'.ies by the rhetorical display of the gentleman from New York." Mr. Cockran. he said, spent little time in developing the metaphysical theories and general line of argument and discussion which were supposed to lie behind and Justify the doctrine of free trade. On the contrary, he said, Mr. Cockran devoted his time largely to an assault, a vitupera tive, vilifying and demagogic assault on the doctrine of protection. Republican ap plause greeted this assertion. Mr. Cockran. he declared, mistook epithet for argument and denunciation for demonstration.- He would not, he said, degrade himself to the level of assault, vilification and vituperation in the discussion of a great question that concerned the welfare, happiness and prosperity of a great people. Wbiie admitting that the "performance" of Mr. Cockran, Saturday last, was one of the finest laurels he had added to his repu tation, he said the discussion added noth ing to the sum of human knowledge and did not add to the store of human wisdom. PROTECTED FOR FOUR YEARS. Mr. Littlefield referred to the Democratic platform recently adopted in New York, and said the convention did not dare pro claim any proposition that had any idea of defmlteness whatever, because, he said, the Democratic party could-not enact any of Its propositions into the law of the land. "Cod be praised, they cannot," he ex claimed, "because the country is protected from Democratic legislation for four years to come, no matter what happens to the presidency or to this chamber." He asked the Democrats if they stood on the fpeech of Mr. Cockran, "the new risen lead of the Democracy." He directed a speclhe question to Mr. Williams if he ap proved of Mr. Cockran's policy. Mr. Wil liams remained silent. Mr. Littiefield then ventured the asser tion that the Democrats would march out with fife and drum and force their cohorts Into line and make the people believe they "both approved and disapproved." He goaded Mr. Williams for a reply, but the minority leader remained silent. He then sought a reply from Champ Clark, of Missouri. Mr. Clark set the Democrats frantic by saying that when the House should give htm in hour he would make a reply "that will knock some of you gentlemen silly." No one, he said, could reply "yes" or "no" to one hour of cheap demagogy. There were screams of approval from the Demo crats at this utterance. "The gentleman from Missouri wants one hour to indulge in vilification and vitupera tion," retorted Mr. Littleneld. Mr. Clark, he said, could say "yes" or "no" now, and he would give him until the end of the campaign to answer. A suggestion from Mr. Clark that he and Mr. Littlefield should hire a hall and de bate the proposition was the signal for a tumultuous outburst of applause from the Democrats, but Mr. Littlefield pressed for a categorical answer from any other man on the Democratic side. A RASH NEW YORKER. Mr. Raker, of New York, arose. "Will the gentleman yield." he excitedly asked. "No." said Mr. Littlefield. "Fools rush in where angels dare not enter." Gesticulating wildly and showing great excitement. Mr. Raker answered excitedly, exclaiming: "I will give you an answer if you want one. I will give you one. Mr. Littlefield paid no heed to Repub lican cries of "let him go on: let him go on." but said there was only one man left on the Democratic side, Mr. Raker, who had the physical courage to say he was ready to give an answer. He contended that Mr. Baker could have said "yes" and after seme remarks in which Mr. Little field refused to accept Mr. Raker as enti tled t$ spenk for the Democracy Mr. Little field was drawn into a lively colloquy with Mr. De Armond. of Missouri, which was much enjoyed by the crowded galleries. Mr. De Armond said he would venture to gratify Mr. Littlefield to some extent. He was interrupted with cries of "yes" or "no" from the Republicans. Continuing. Mi. De Armond said that if Mr. Littlefield wanted information a to the Democratic position. h. would say that the position of the Democrats was to take off or to lower the duties wherever those duties sheltered trusts. "Rah! ball!" came from the Republican side. Mr. Littlefield caljed on Mr. De Armond to my whether he did or did aot agree with Mr. Cockran's views.

Who Drew the Fire of Democrats in the House Yesterday. TO TOM, IF HO HITCH IN Both Branches, After Late Ses sions, Took Recess Until 10:30 This Morning. CANAL BILL AGREED TO Nomination of William D. Crum for Collector, However, Will Die To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 27. Unless there is a hitch Congress will adjourn to-day. The Senate was in session until near midnight and the House did not take a recess until 1 o'clock this morning. Both branches will convene again at 10:00 o'clock this morning. The usual scenes incident to approach ing adjournment were enacted in the House. Many Republicans retired to the cloakroom and sang patriotic songs. Teals of laughter, which followed each song, were heard In the House, but business proceeded as usual. Several solos were sung, each of which w?s loudly applauded. An effort was made to secure action in the Senate on the nomination of William D. Crum to be collector of the port of Charleston, S. C. but it failed. It was said President Roosevelt intended to eall an extra session of the Senate to secure rejection or confirmation of the appoint ment, but Senators Allison, Aldrich and Spooner, who conferred with the President last night, said an extra session was im I probable. The Crum nomination dici with the adjournment of th present "fcestdon, butthe action of Democrats in taking a position which Republicans term "a filibus ter," they argue will warrant the President in again making a recess appointment. Another matter that threatened to block the adjournment programme was the Panama canal bill. The conferees, however, reached an agreement .last night by ac cepting the first seoiion of the Senate bill providing for the payment of $1U.J.U to Panama and the House provision placing the. canal zone under the control of the President. No provision was made regard ing the bonds for construction. The first section of the Senate bill, which is adopted, authorizes the President, upon acquisition of the canal property and the payment of JlO.OuO.OuO to the republic of Panama, to take possession of and occupy on behalf of the United States a zone of land extending to the distance of five miles on each side of tie center line of the canal route. The section provides for the reappropriation of the amount heretofore authorized to be paid to Columbia for the canal concession and was regarded as necessary to authorize payment to Panama. The section describes the canal zone as beginning in the Caribbean sea, three marine miles from mean low water mark, and extending to and across the Isthmus of Panama into the Pacific ocean to the dis tance of three marine miles from mean low water and including all islands within said zone, and in addition the group of islands in the Ray of Panama named Perico, Maos, Culebra and Flamenco, and from time to time any lands and waters outside of said zone which may be necessary and conven ient for the construction, maintenance, op eration, sanitation and protection of the canal or of any auxiliary canals as provided by the treaty between the United States and the Republic of Panama." The section condudes as follows: "The payment of the JiO.OOO.OoO provided by Article II of said treaty shall be made in lieu of the definite appropriation made in the third section of the act of June 2S. li2, and is hereby ap propriated for such purpose." The House provision re-enacts until the expiration of the Fifty-eighth Congress the resolution adopted in for the govern ment of the Louisiana Purchase, making it applicable to the canal zone. The provision gives the President complete Jurisdiction over the canal zone. POLICE PUT TEH BULLETS 111 THE B0DY0F A NEGRO Tragic End of a Ten-Hour Fight Between Law Officers and a Desperado.

REPULSE OF JAPANESE ON THE YALU RIVER LI AO-YANG, April 27. The Japanese troops which crossed the Yalu north of Tchangdjiou charged, during the night of April 26-27. the Russian position near Liza vena, a village on the Ma .churian bank of the Yalu. They were repulsed, but their loss is not known. Two gunboats steamed up the river to the support of the Japanese, when a Rus sian field battery at Amisan opened fire on them, resulting in a duel which lasted I for twenty minutes. The Russian fire was too hot, and the gunboats were forced to turn and steam out of range. The Japanese were facilitated in crossing by their occupation of the island of Sam alinda. i CLEAR STATEMENT OF SITUATION ON YALU ST. PETERSBURG, April 28. Disappoint ment prevails at Sjt. Petersburg that no official dispatches giving details of the op erations on the Yalu river have been made public. The press dispatches are so meager as to becloud rather than enlighten the peo ple, who are hourly awaiting new.. The Associated Press has obtained from the general staff the following clear state ment of the situation: "Before beginning the passage of the Yalu river the Japanese evidently completed the., concentration of the armies along the river commanded by Generals Kuroki and Oku. Each army is composed of three divisions and three re serve brigades. The total force is lOO.OoO. The Russians on the Manchurian bank of the river are inferior in strength. Having perfected the essential preparations, the Japanese, without waste of time, com menced the passage of the river, and the Russians realized that it would be impos sible to prevent their crossing. The Jap anese front extended from Wiju as far us Pick-Tong. over eighty miles. We faced the possibility that they would cross at a j score of places, and all we could hope for J was to harass and impede the ctosfing, for every day gained enabled us to push our preparations and bring up more men." "There are only two instances in history where an army was unable to cross a river that of Napoleon at Aspern and that of Prince Eugene of Savoy at Loch. Both failed because of floods. The Yalu proved no exception to the established rule. We know that the Japanese crossed at at least two points. Their first attempt to force a passage near Chand-Che-Kow, twenty miles above Wiju. near Siaopoussikhe, on the Pousslkho. a tributary of the Yalu. was successful. This is important because a road leads from Siaopoussikhe northeast to Kwan-Tiou. which commands one of the I roads to Mukden. j "It is evident that the Japanese devoted most or ineir attention to crossing near Wiju. The river here is divided into sev eral channels by islands, the largest of which is Samalindo. Above and below Wiju the rtver was bridged at three points. Up the stream near Sindiagou the Japanese were watched by a small detachment of cossacks. but the enemy was practically unopposed. At Tureachen. lower down, our outposts directed a fire from a field piece so successfully that they destroyed the moorings and wrecked the pontoons. The enemy was thrown into disorder and suf fered considerable loss. Still further down the stream the Japanese proceeded to make a third attempt at crossing. "We do not think the Japanese will at tempt to land at Takushan or Tatung-Kau now that they have crossed the Yalu. The object of such landings has been. to cause a diversion so as to enable the Japanese to cross the river. Takushan is not a good strategic point.

FRANK HANLY, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR. MILLER, IN A GL OSE RACE, WINS SECOND PLACE Real Contest of the Day Begins with Balloting for the Nomination of Candidate for the Office of Lieutenant Governor Ball and New by Show Strength at the Starts but ScatteredSupporters of Miller Unite on the Third Ballot and Elect The contest for the nomination for Lieu tenant Governor was the only one that ap proached a genuine contest in the Repub lican state convention yesterday, and at that there was little doubt after the first ballot that Hugh Th. Miller, of Columbus, would be the nominee. Mr. Miller's lead on the first ballot was not so great he received but thirty-three votes more than Walter L. Ball, of Mun cie, and but sixty-seven more than L. P. Newby, of Knightstown, who was a close third, but his strength was so divided throughout the entire State, as Ilanly's had been in the race for Governor, and there, were such evidences of reserve forces to be swung into line for him" that the "get into the band wagon" cry set up by his followers in all parts of the hall carried conviction. However, the friends of Mr. Ball and Mr. Newby made plucky fights and never abandoned hope until the votes had been registered and counted that gave their opponent the coveted prize. No votes ' were changed in this contest before the results of the ballots were an nounced, but the Miller forces shrewdly di rected by William E. Springer, the Fourth district chairman, Charles F. Remy, re porter of the Supreme Court, Ed II. Remy. Will G. Irwin and three or four others, made the same play that the Hanly forces had made, only they hurled their reserve strength to their candidate early on the second roll call, at a time when it would have the greatest effect. It was a stam pede movement, and while it did not stampede the convention to such an extent as to give Miller the nomination on thaj ballot, it assured him the victory on the next. Allen county, the second on the list, had GIRL BRIBE BEFORE DEATH SAYS SWMLLOWED POISOH Mrs. Annie Nixon, Eighteen, Dies Suddenly at Parents' Home Doctor's Statement.' O MOTHER DENIES STORY Mrs. A-inie Nixon, aged eighteen, died suddenly at the home of her mother, Mrs. Olive Ott. 30 Lin wood avenue, at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon To Dr. Myron H. Williams, 3312 East Washington street, who was summoned and reached her bedside be fore life was extinct, she stated that he had taken 5 cents worth of strychnine. The young woman died in convulsions of agony, and it is stated by the physician that in her death there were evidences of strych nine poisoning. Dr. A. N. Towles, 5552 East Washington street, was also called, but did not arrive until after death had occurred. To him Dr. Williams repeated what Mrs. Nixon had said concerning the strychnine previous to her death. Mrs. Ott, when seen by a Jour nal reporter at her home last night, de nied that her daughter's death was due to any other than natural causes. When asked if her daughter had not com mitted Filicide she said: "No; her death was caused by. convulsions." Mrs. Nixon had been living at the home of her mother. Mrs. Ott was asked con cerning Mrs. Nixon's husband, and re plied: "My daughter was a widow." A further question. "Is her husband dead?" brought no definite answer. "You don't have to know that, do you? I have told jou that my daughter was a widow."- -ä': . ... 1 121 ; . - ' ON TICKE 71 HUGH T. MILLER. Republican Nominee for Lieutenant Governor. given Miller 15 votes, Newby 12 and Ball S on the first ballot. On the second CO votes were thrown to Miller, leaving but 5 to Rail, a gain of 15 for Miller, and a loss of 12 for Newby and . 3 for Ball. Benton, Blackford and Roone counties followed by throwing their solid strength to Miller on the second. Clay, Decatur and Elkhart also decided to put . all their, eggs in one basket on this ballot, and as they had a combined strength of 06 .votes, .that sent Miller farther into the lead and gave a decided impetus to the band-wagon move ment. Aud so it went on down the line,, until In the cud Miller had 14J votes the better of Ball, while Newby was 275 behjnd Rail. Miller did not get through the fight alto gether unscathed, however, for his own district could not be held in line for him. It gave him its entire strength on the' first, but on the second ballot Dearborn county broke, giving him but 4 votes to 5 for Newby and 1 for Ball. Jackson followed suit by delivering 1 of . its 11 votes to Ball, while Jennings gave 7 of its 10 to Newby, and Switzreland jave 1 of its 7 to Newby. These losses in his own district apparentiy had no effect on Miller's strength, however, and on the third ballot there was no head ing his followers. BALL'S SPEECH. ' When the result of this ballot had been announced Mr. Ball was recognized. He said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention I do not feel exactly as the Irishman, because I know where and how I have lit, but I want to thank my loyal friends for their generous treatment of me during this - convention and during the time that I have been a candidate for this nomination. And I want to express to my distinguished friend who has succeeded in being the victor in this convention, my loyalty and to assure him and every Re publican in Indiana that when the conflict is on this fall I will be in front and in line of battle, trying with all my power to bring triumph and glorious victory to the great old Republican party. Applause. And in conclusion I desire to move that the Hon. Hugh T. Miller be made the unani mous choice of this convention for lieu tenant Governor of the great common wealth of Indiana." 'Applause. In seconding the motion Mr. Newby said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention I am prepared to say at this time that there are but two men in this hall that are better pleased than I am. One of them is my friend. J. Frank Hanly, and the other, Hugh Th. Miller. Mv heart is filled with gratitude to the Republican press of Indiana, which stood always as a unit for my nomination. I want to put the emphasis on Republican when I say 'press.' Applause. I want to thank the loyal Re publicans who stood at my back and gave me every support. "While there were some things in this campaign that were subject to criticism and encompassed my defeat, none of it can be laid at the door of Hugh Th. Miller. Cries of 'Amen. There has been no more gentlemanly, clean, manly campaign than his. and to him I pledge my loyalty. Gen tlemen, of this convention, for twenty years I have fought up and down Indiana for the success of the Republican party. My zeal will be during the coming campaign, where it has been for twenty years, and mv efforts this fall In behalf of the party shall only be limited by my strength and ability. Gentlemen, let me announce that everything I can do will be done from now on until next November for the success of the ticket that is this day nominated." Applause. J MR. MILLER "RATTLED."

In one of the briefest sessions in the history of the party in this State, Indiana Republicans, in delegate convention as sembled, yesterday named a full State ticket, with J. Frank Hanly. of-Lafayette, ät the head as the candidate for Governor. IIughiTh. Miller, .of Columbus, .was named for Lieutenant Governor; Oorge W. Self, of Corydon, for reporter of the Supreme Court, and Joseph II. Stubbs, of Indian apolis, for-state statistician. Those were the offices for which there were contests. The remainder, of the ticket was named by acclamation Daniel E. Storms, of Lafayette, for secretary of state; David E. Sherrick. . of Noblesvlllc, for auditor of state; Nat I". Hill, of Bloom ington, for treasurer of state; Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, for attorney gen eral; Fassett A. . Cotton, of New Castle, for state superintendent of public Instruction; Oscar. H.'

With the exception of Mr. Mont gomery ail these candidates were renomi nated, and Mr. Montgomery had no oppo sition for the preferment he sought. The convention was in session from 9:15 a. m. till 2:45 p. m. five hours and a half. As a rule the long sessions of Republican state conventions have been prolonged un til late at night and on one or two occa sions until the small hours of the follow ing morning. The brevity of the convention this year was due to the overwhelming strength of the candidates nominated. At no time after the balloting commenced was there any doubt as to the winners, for each of the successful . candidates led from the start. But one ballot was necessary to choose the candidates for Governor and state stat isticiani The race for Lieutenant Governor was decided on the third ballot, while it was 'not found necessary to complete the second roll call in the contest for reporter of the Supreme Court before it was appar ent that Mr. Self had been nominated. TICKET HEARTILY APPROVED. Senators Fairbanks and Beverldge, Gov ernor Durbln, State Chairman Goodrich, Representative Watson, who presided as chairman of the convention. Representative E. D. Crumpacker. of the Tenth district, other members of the Indiana Republican congressional delegation, members of . the state committee, and, in fact, all the party leaders, unite in congratulating the Re publicans of Indiana on their choice of candidates. The convention was called to order at 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning. For over an hour the doors to Tomllnson Hall had been open, and when Chairman James E. Watson rapped for order the auditorium was packed to the doors with an eager, ex cited and expectant throng. The followers of the rival candidates were cheering and shouting in their efforts to rally their co horts to greater enthusiasm and greater efforts, and to nerve thm for the fray nt hand. As the candidates appeared on the stage each in turn was given an ovation by his loyal supporters and friends. NO TIME WASTED. No time was wasted in preliminaries. As soon as he could make himself heard Mr. Watson calUd for the report of the com mittee on credentials, which was presented by Qulncy A. Blankenship, of Martinsville, the secretary of the committee. It was adopted without dissent. The report was published in yesterdav's Journal, and con tained nothing to arous c.ipecia! interest. Then the report of the committee rn reso lutions was called for, aud Chalrnvia Wat son relinquished the gavel to Governor Dur bin. his voice having suffered by. Ms ora torical effort of the day before until be was scarcely able to make himself heard in the babel. The Governor piloted th con vention through the early hours, and was unusually successful in keeping the crowd well in hand. Former State Senator Ward H. Watson, of Charlestown. presented the report of the committee on resolutions. The vigorous declarations were received with applause and cheers, but it was apparent that the convention was anxious to grt down to real business, and the platform was adopted with remarkable alacrity and unanimltv. It will be found in full on another page of the Journal. A supplemental resolution, giving the name of the party for the cam paign af hand and the emblem fcr the ticket, and authorizing the chairman of the state central committee to fill .my va cancies that might occur, was read and adopted. Animated further by the desire to get to the contests, the convention speedily dis posed of the nomination of the candidates who had no opposition. On motion of for mer Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter, of In dianapolis, these candidates were all placed in nomination at one time and their nom ination was taken by acclamation. Then the delegates settled themselves for real business, the candidates on the stage pulled themselves together, and their Moor managers got ready for action. Governor Durbin announced that the nomination of a candidate for Governor was next In or der, and read that portion of the rules providing that there should be no nominat ing speeches and regulating the manner of voting. Secretary Strohm called the roll of dis tricts for nominations. Frank L. Little ton, of Marion county, placed in nom ination William 1. Taylor on behalf of the Seventh district. Senator Will R. Wood, of Tippecanoe, presented the name of J. Frank Hanly, the Tenth district's candidate. Warren G. Sayre, of tha Eleventh, was named by L. L. Carpen ter, chairman of the Wabash county del egation, while Judge O. N. Heaton, of Allen county, did the honors for William L. IVntkld, the Twelfth district's can didate. The roll call of counties was or-, dered. but it was several minutes before it could be taken up, for the supporters of the four candidates insisted on yelling themselvis hoarse before they permitted any balloting. HANLY XAMKD ON THE FIRST. But the one ballot was required to give the coveted nomination to Mr. Hanly. When-the vote was totaled he had 701. to 37.T; for Taylor, 2121 for Sayrc and 13Si for Penfkld, but before the result could be announced the chairmen of fcveral co-,intks clamored to change their vote-. Madison, with forty-four votes, threw its entire strength to Hanly, Wayne followed with twtnty-six. Randolph with twenty two, Fayette with ten. Franklin with eight, and there were others anxious to get on the band wagon, which was then a surft enough band wagon, but no more votes were necessary. Mr. Hanly had pained tUtj-two vott-s by the chdiKcs made and had enough for the nomination, with cignt and a fraction votes to spare. Mr. Sayre was recognized to make the motion tn.it the nomination le made unanimous, and his motion was seconded by Judge PinfieM and by William V Taylor. The motion prevailed with a tumult of cheers, and Mr. Hanly was the victor his vlctorv had been won by bis meat strength in all parts of the State by a splenaid organization and by the shrewd v.urk of his managers on tne floor "of the convention. Three ballots were required to make Hugh Th. Miller the nomiiur for Lieuten ant Governor. Mr. Mllh-r was placed in nomination 'by ' District Chairman W. E. bprinstr. of the J'ourth. .

Ball came se- ond with 4:ni 1-0. while Newbv was la.-t witn t'J2 2-3. The strength displayed bv the Miller forces showed conelushelv that tho victory would be with tium. but two :no4o ballots had to be taken, consuming almost two hours of time. On the second Miller increased his vote to Cs5. while Ball le celved 5W and Newby JSI. On the third seats on the bandwagon were in demand, and Miller rolled up a total of J57 1-3 to 455 1-3 for Bill and 72 1-3 for Newbv. On the motion of Mr. Ball, seconded bv Mr. Newby. the nomination of Mr. Miller w.is made unanimous, and another Jollification was in order.

It was apparent before the first roll call hid proceeded very far that there was nothing to the race for Mate statistician but Joseph H. Stubbs. of Indianapolis, ' the baldheaded man." Stubbs got off well in the lead and there would have been no ex citement to the contest had not the vote of Marlon county been challenged and a tedious polling of the delegation necessi tated. When the figures were compiled it was found that Stubbs had MP, votes to STH for R. F. Johnson, of Fowler, and :X'0 for J. W. Egnew. of Lagrn. The nominal tlon was mnde unanimous on the motion of Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Egnw. The convention was at an end. Five hours and a half of strenuous work had passe.j into history and a Republican state ticket had been named. There were many vacant sats in the galleries, on the stage and on the floor of the convention at the end. but scores of the spectators and most of the delegates had remained to see the conven tion through. During the pension Representative E. D. Crumpacker. of the Tenth. Francis T. Roots, of Connersville. Representative Ellas S. Holllday, of the Fifth, and John C. Chaney, of Sullivan. 'Republican nominee for Congress in the Second, in addition to Governor Durbin. had a turn at wiHdin the gavel as the presiding ofäeer of t.e convention, but at the close Representative Watson was again in command. He de clared the convention adjourned sine die after three hearty cheers for the ticket and for the Republican party had been given. THE FIGHT FOR GOVERNOR. J.

Mr. Hanly knew it and hi managers knew ;t, for their organization as to - r fect that they knew Just whet they would get the votes, and when thy tould come, to give them the prize. They . nt into the convention expecting to nominate Mr. Hanly on the first ballot, and they encom passed their plans. A total of 81 votes had been pledged to Hanly, to be delivered when called for. tw fore the convention opened yesterday morn ing However, the men who had charge of the light decided with wisdom not to call out their entire strength on the first roll call. They planned to gt 713 votes as the. roll was called, holding.' in reserve at least fifty sure votes that they could hurl into tho fight by changing the votes of certain counties before the result whs an nounced, and thus clinch the nomination on the first ballot, without the necessity of showing their entire tru?tn.
