Hovey CbMen on First Ballot--Chase for Lleo- tenant governor. for Wt • k Strong Ticket Throughout--EnjJiu- • aiastic Beceotion of Gen. Harrf- . Bon by the Convention. Vaj. W. H. Calkins presided over the Indiana ftepublican State convention, which met at In- "di&napolis on the 8th inst. After tho organiza­ tion had been o mpletod Gen. Ben Harrison was itrooght into the hall by a committee sent out tor that' purpose, and -was received with tho Wildest (nthusia&m. Men, women, and children, -dignitaries and humble citizens sprang to their leet, and the shoot that went up and continued tor Are minutes shook the building. It was an -overpowering ovation, and Gen. Harrison was visibly affected, and when he was finally per­ mitted to apeak his voice trembled with emo­ tion. His remarks were brief but strongly elo­ quent. Every sentenoe was greetedwitha burst of applause, and at the conclusion the cheering ̂ was long and loud. Mr. President and gentlemen of the conven­ tion, said Gen. Harrison, when I received your Invitation to appear for a moment before you I| felt that what yoa asked could not involve any indelicacy, ana as it offered me the only oppor­ tunity I shall have to look in the faces of myi Indiana Republican friends here assembled, I: could not find it in my power to deny myself thee pleasure of spending a moment in your presence. This enthusiastic and kindly reception crowns long serl 8 of friendly acts on the part of my' Republican friends of Indiana. To have yourtt confidence is very grateful to me; to be worthy of your confidence is the highest ambition 1 can set t efore me. Whatever may befall me, my fellow-citizens of Indiana have •crowned me and made me forever their debtor. But 1 must not dotain you from the businessr which has brought you here. Such an <issem- fclage as this is characteristic of America. Whab: you shall do to-day will influence the prosperity 4tnd welfare of the State. Such a meeting is a| .notable historical event. We have to-day tran­ spiring in this country two other events that are: Attracting wide interest. At the chief seaport^ of our countr.y that great Republican and thaft great American, James G. Blaine, returns to hia homo. We sha 1 not be disappointed, I hope, in hearing his powerful voice in Indiana be­ fore the campaign is old. Another scene Attracts our solemn and te irful interest; for while you are transacting your business here to- <iay a uraped train is bearing from the place of hia sojourn by the sea to tho placj of his inter­ ment at Washington the mortal part of Philip H. Sheridan. From the convention at Chicago we uent him our greetings and earnest prayers tfor his restoration; to-day we mourn our hero •dead. You called him then a favorite child oft "victory, and such he was. He was one of those| great commanders who upon the field of battler towered a very god of war. He was one of tho! earnest fighters for his country who did not, at the end of his first day's fight, contemplate rest i>nd recuperation for his own com- mand. He rested and refreshed bis com­ mand with the wine of victory, and found re­ cuperation in the dispersion of the enemy who confronted him. This gallant son of Ireland and America has written a chapter in the art of war that will not fail to instruct and develop when-- the exigencies may come again--others shall r3- peat, iu defense of our flag, his glorious achieve­ ments. And now, Mr. President and gentlemen, I am sure that the heat of this hall and the labors that are be ore you suggest to you, as they do to me, that I shall close these remarks •and bid you good-by. • At the conclusion of Gen. Harrison's remarks the convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates for State offices. Albert W. Porter, <!ol. Robertson, Will Cumback, George P, Steele, Kev. Ira J. Chase, and Gtn. Alvin P. Hovey were named for Governor. The first and only ballot resulted: Hovey, 663; Robertson, 221; Steele, 118%; Chase, 120; Will Cumback, 103 ; Gov. Porter, 30. Before the ballot was announced several coun­ ties changed to Hovey, swelling his vote to 593, and In the midst of the clamor for additional changes Chairman Calkins announced that (Ten. Hovey was the nominee of the convention, which brought the 6,000 people present to their ieet in a burst of prolonged cheers and applause. On motion of Mr. Chase, seconded by tile other -unsuccessful candidates, the nomination was made unanimous amid a perfect hurricane of applause. Ira J. Chase, of Danville, was nom­ inated by acclamation for Lieutenant Governor, no other name being presented.

SHACKLEFOBD l Large. Hon. Will Cumback, Chairman of the Com­ mittee on Resolutions, reported the platform, which was unanimously adopted. After indors­ ing the action of the Chicago convention and pledging to the national ticket a united and suc­ cessful support, the resolutions declare: Crimes against an equal ballot and equal representation are destructive of free govern­ ment. Tho iniquitous and unfair apportion­ ment for Congressional and legislative purposes made at tho behest of the Liquor League «ct Indiana, followed by conspiracy and forgery upon the election returns of 1886 in Marion County, for which a number of promi­ nent Democratic party leaders were indicted and tried, two of whom are now suffering the de­ served penalty of their acts, demands the rebuke Ot every patriotic citizen. The gerrymander by which more than ha f of the people of the State are shorn of their just rights must be repealed and constitutional apportionments made whereby the votes of members of all po­ litical - parties shall be given equal iorce and effect. We believe equal political Tiphts to be the only basis of a truly democratic and renublican form of government. The ac­ tion of the Democrats in the last General As­ sembly was revolutionary and criminal. The will of the people, expressed in a peace- Able and lawful election, advised and participated in by the Democratic party, was set at defiance, and the consti­ tution and laws as expounded by the Su­ preme Court of the State disregarded and nullified. Public and private rights were subverted and destroyed and the Capitol of the State disgraced by violence and brutality. The alleged election of a United States Senator was accomplished by fraud and force and by high- banded usurpation of power, the overthrow of constitutional and legal forms, the setting aside of the results of a popular election, and the theft of the prerogatives of duly elected and qualified membsrs of the Legislature. That stolen Senatorship is part of the Democratic Administration at Washington, now in power by •virtue of public crimes and the nullification of consti utions and laws. The sworn revelations Of corruption, scoundrelism, and outrage in the ccnduct of the penal and benevolent insti­ tutions of the State made baforo investi­ gating committees of the last Legisla­ ture an i confessed by the action of a Democratic Governor and Democratic legisla­ tors, enforce the demand of an onlightened pub­ lic sentiment that these great an I sacred trusts be forever removed from partisan control. We favor placing all public institutions under a wisely-conceived and honestly administered Civil service law. Labor is the foundation of the state. It must t>e free, well paid and intelligent to remain hon­ orable, prosperous and dignified. In the interests Of labor we favor the establishment and perma­ nent maintenance of a bureau of labor statis­ tics. We favor the passage and strict en­ forcement of laws which will absolutely pre- Tent the competition of imported, servile, conv.ct or contract labor of all kinds with tree labor; prohibit the employment of young chi!dren in factories and mines," guar­ antee to work ingmeu tho most favorable condi­ tions for 'their service, especially proper safe­ guards for life and comfort in mines and facto­ ries, on railways, and in all hazardous occupa­ tions ; to secure which the duties and jxiwers of the State Mine Inspector should be enlarged and provisions made whereby only > killed and competent men, can lie placed in posi­ tions where they may 1)3 in control of the lives and safety of others; enforce the certain and irequent payment of wages; abridge the hours of labor wherever practicable, and provide for the submission to ju6t and im­ partial arbitration, under regulations that will make the arbitration effective, ul controversies between workingmen and their employers. The right of v aye-workers to organize for the legiti­ mate promotion t>. their mutual good cannct be Questioned. A just and equal enforcement erf the law is the only sure defense for the rights of the people. . It is tne bl^he-t Outv of the State nnd local governments to adininistor all laws for the pro­ tection of liie and property, and the abdication of this tunc, ion to private and personal agencies is dangerous to the public peace and subversive of proper respect for legal authority. We favor auch legislation as wi:l secure to every head of a family in Indiana a comfortable homestead in addition to the personal property now exempted iroin execution by th-< law. Fees and salaries should be' equalized under the constitutional amendment adopted by so large a majority for that purpose, and a law for the eqnitablo compensation of public officials should be promptly enacied. T e methods of county ana township business should be econo­ mized and simplified. The amendments to th-3 State constitution making the le-ins of county officers four years, and striking out tho word "white"from section 1, art clo 12, so that colored men may become a part of the regular militia force for the defense Of the Stato should be revived. Railway and otl.er corporations should be subjected to control through tho legislative power that created them, their undue influence In legislation anil in courts, and the imposition of unnocessavy burdens upon the people through illegitimate increase of stock or capital •hould be summarily prevented. The free unsectarian public Bchool system muht be protected against impairments the ebUdren of all the people should be given tb* widest possible scope. The State ! Normal School for tha twining of teachers for 1 the common schools should bs rebuilt, and the 1 school fund of the State release 1 from restric­ tions that kejp it out o* the hand t of the peo­ ple. Polities and legislation must be kept free from the influence of tha sal on. The liquor traffic must obey the law. We favor legislation upon tha principle of local option, whereby tha vari­ ous communities throughout tha State may, as they shall deem best, e ther control or suppress the traffic in intoxicating liquors. The gratitnde of a patriotic people to the de­ fenders of the Union canno; be measured by money. We will not consent that any Union soldier or sailor, or his widow or orphans, shall I be impoverished or embarrassed because of tha refusal of liberal provisions by the Government or the requirements of law or administration in securing recognition of their just claims. Proof of an honorable discharge and of existing dis­ ability ought and must be deemed sufficient showing to warrant the award of a pension. We congratulate the people of the State upon the indications of a prosperity that is being maintained despite all adverse influences. Tho rapid utilization of natural f as has greatly stim­ ulated the industrial intere ts of the Common­ wealth, and rendered more essential the continu­ ance of that economic system under which our marvelous advancement has been mode. State legislation should be directed toward the recla­ mation of untillable lands and the devel­ opment of our rescnrces of every kind.

The visitors were met a" the dejKit by ov. r 80) members of tho Indianapo'.is Railway Club, and escorted to the residence of Gen. Harrison, where several hundred people had congregated to witness the reception. The Harrison mansion was brilliantly lighted, and when the General appeared on th# steps he was greeted with three deafening cheers and a wav- wockiogmen of England, but I think it woa'd be h ird to demon state that would be good for tfco woifkin ;nn n of America. There is a wise selfishness ; it begins at homo, and he who has the cam of his own fanityy first, of the com­ munity in which he lives, and of the nation cf which ho is a citlson, is wise in his genera­ tion." Tiie General then shook hands with the visits ore. Mrs. Harrison was present," and came in for her 8bn.ro of the reception, the railroaders giUng her three cheers. HOMESTEAD LAWS DISCUSSED. One of the Great Achievements of the Re­ publican Party, [Indianapolis special.] Perhaps the most imposing demonstration yet made by citizens from outside the city sinM the campai m opened resulted from the Joint ef­ forts of Montgomery and Clinton Counties. The delegation from Crawfordsville and other points in Montgomery Countv numbered nearly S,000, and from Frankfort, in Clinton County, 960. Each delegation was headed by a amdl Stub of twenty or less veterana of the Tippe­ canoe campaign. Some minutes before den. Harrison appeared the small platform in Uni­ versity Park was packed with Tippecanoe vet­ erans, and whan Gen. Harrison came there was scarcely standing room left for him. P. S. Ken­ nedy, of Crawfordsville, addressed the General k in behalf of the Montgomery County delegation, and Judge J. C. Suit spoke for Clinton County. Gen. Hat risen, in responding, touched upon our nomestead laws and the ownership of lands. He •poke as follows: i "MY FELLOW-CITIZENS--These daily IN- 1 1 iM Jf IT MAY COME TO THIS, which claim against the general Government has been officially acknowledged and its repayment Erovided for. Like hostile Democratic action as also prevented the return to our State Treas­ ury of $61)6,979.41, discount and interest on war- loan bonds rendered necossary to equip and main­ tain tlie volunteer soldiers who went out under the flrBt call for troops in 18G1. More than Sl.-W,- 0J0 justly due the State is thus withheld iu the presence of an increasing Federal surplus, and of a practically bankrupt State Treasury, caused by the incompetence of the Democratic State Administration. The services of our Republican members of the National House of Representatives meets our unqualified approval. They have been alert to protect the interests of the State and of their respective constituencies. The location of a branch of the National Soldiers' Home, and the prospective establishment of a naval hospital within the borders of the State are sources for special congratulation. Under this declaration of fac. s and principles the Republicans of Indi­ ana invite the co-operation of all citizens irre­ spective of past political faith or action. GENERAL JACKSON AND TION. PBOTEC* The Famous listter of 1814 to Or. Coleman of North Carolina. WASHINGTON CITY, April 20, 1B34. Heaven smiled upon and gave us liberty and independence. That same Providence has blessed us with the moans of national inde­ pendence and national defense. If we omit or refuse to use the gifts which He has extended to us we deserve not tho continuati' n of His bless­ ing. He has filled our mountains and our plains with minerals--with lead, iron, and copper--and given us a climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the great ma erials of our nationiil de­ fense, they ought to have extended to them adequate pro ection; that our man­ ufacturers and laborers may be placed in a fair competition with those of Europe, and tluit we have within our country a supply of those leading and important articles so essential to wear. I will ask what is the real situation of the agriculturist? Where has the American farmer a market for his surplus produce V Ex­ cept for cotton he has neither a foreign nor a home market. Do s not this clearly prove when there is no market at home or abroad that there is too much lal>or employed in agriculture? Common sense at once points out the remedy. Take from agriculture in the United States 600,000 men, women, and children and you will at once give a market for more breadstuff a than all Europe now furnishes us. In short, sit, we have been too long subject to the policy of British merchants. It is time we should become a little moie Amer­ icanized, and instead of feeding paupers and la­ borers of England, feed our own, or else in a short time, by continuing our present policy, we shall be rendered paupers ourselves.

And the num­ ber is da ly increasing. --Chicago Journal. B. F. PEIXOTTO, of New York, a representative workingman, was for nearly eight years United Stutes Consul at Lyons, France, and made a study of the labor question not only in that country, but of Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, and England. He savs that the wages received in Europe are from one-half to two-thirds lower than those paid in this coun­ try, and that it would be suicide f r American workingmen to vote for a party which seeks to place them on a level with the pauper labor of Europe. ing of 600 lanterns. When the din and noise finally subsided, Gen. Harrison, in a ringing voice, addressed the visitors as follows: "Gentlemen of the Terre Haute Railroad Club and fellow citizens, I am amazed and gratified at the character of this demonstration to-night. I do not find words to express the emotions which swell in my heart as I look into your faces and listen to the kindly greetings which vou have given me through your representative, tie has no. si>oken in too. high praise of the rail­ road men of the United States. The character of tha duties they are called upon to discharge require great intelligence; iu many departments the best skill in the highest mechanic arts, aud in all, even in the lowest grades of labor in con­ nection with railroad management, there is re­ quired, for the safety of the publi J who intrust thems Ives to your care, fidelity and watchful­ ness not only in the day, but in the darkness. The man who attends the switch, the trackman who observes the condition of the track--all these have put into their charge and keeping the lives of men and women and the Bafety of our commerce. Therefore it is that the ex­ igencies of the service in which you are en­ gaged have operated to select and call into the service of our great corporations a picked body of men. I gratefully acknowledge to-night that service you render to the country of which I am a citizen. The great importance of tho enter­ prises with which you are connected have al­ ready suggested to our legislators that they owe duties to you as well as to the traveling and mercantile public. "The Congress of the United States has, under that provision of the Constitution which com­ mits to itB care all fore gn and interstate com­ merce, undertasen to regulate the great inter- sta'e railroads in the interest of equal and fair competition, and iu the equal interest of all membars of our communities. I do not doubt that certain and necessary provisions for the safe;y of the men who operate these roads will yet be made compulsory by public and general law. Tho dangers connected with your calling are very great, and the public interest, as well as your own, lequires that they should be reduced to the minimum, and "I do not doubt that wo shall yet require that uni­ formity in the construction of railroad cars that will diminish the danger of those who must pass between them in order to make up trains. I do not doubt, either, that s those cor- porations are not private corp >rations, bdt are recognized by the law to whkn I have eferred, nnd by the uniform decisions of our courts as having public relations, we shall yet sea legisla­ tion in the direction of providing"some suitable tribunal of arbitration for the settlement of differences between railroad men and the com­ panies that engage their services. I believe that iu these direct ions--that I have no time to suggest--reforms will work themselves out with exact justice to the companies and with justice to the men they employ. Because, my friends, 1 do not doubt--and I liope you will never adow yourselves to doubt--that the great mass of our people of all vocations and callings, love justice and right and hate oppression. • "The laboring men of this land may safely trust every just reform in which they are inter­ ested to public discussion and to the logic of reason ; they may surely hope upon these lines which are open to you by the ballot-box, to ac­ complish under our American institutions, all those right things you have conceived as neces­ sary to your highest success and well-being. Do not allow yourselves to doubt, for one mo­ ment, the friendlv sentiment of the great masses of our p. op b. Make your appeal wisely and calmlv and boldiyfor every reform you de­ sire to that sentiment of justice which pervades our American public. "Yon come to-ui ;ht from one of our most beautiful Indiana cities. It was builded on the Wabash, in the expectation that the stream wo dd furnish the channel of its communica­ tion with the outside world. But the Wabash is a small tributary to-day to the commerce of Terre Haute. The railroads that span it are the great vehicles of your commerce. They have largely superseded the water communication that was deemed so important in the first settle­ ment, and perhaps was so decisive in th • loca­ tion of yo r city. Terre Haute is conspicuous for its industries. The smoke of your factories goes up night and day. The farms about your city havo become gardens, and the cor­ dial and harmonious relations between the railroad shops and the factories and the farms that lie about have a conspicuous il­ lustration with you. You have found that that policy which built up these shops, which main­ tains them, which secures tho largest output yearly from the factories, which gives employ­ ment to illlargest number of men, is the beBt thing not only for the railroads that do the trans­ portation bu i for tha workingmen who find stead i employment at good wages, and for tbe farmsrs, who supply their needs. You will not willingly be led to believe that any policy that would check the progress and the prosperity of these enterprises, is good for vou or for the community in which you live. It will be hard to con­ vince such an intelligent body of working- men that a policy which would transfer from this country to another the w ork that mig t be done here is good for them. It can easily he. demonstrated that if our revenue laws were so adjusted that the Imports from Great Britain tedoafeMI that ttwoold be food tor the 1 creasing delegations coming to witness their in­ terest in the great issues which are presented for their consideration and determination, and bearing as they do to me their kind personal greetings, quite overmatch my ability to fitting­ ly greet and respond to them. Your interests have had a harmonious and amazing growth under that protective sygtem to which your representatives have referred, and you wisely demand a continuation of that policy for their further advancement and development. You are in large part members of the Republican party. You have in tho past contributed your personal influence, as well as your ballots, to the great victories which it has won. Among tbe great achievements of our party, I think we may worthily men tion tho passage of that beneficent act of legislation known as the homestead law. It waa impossible to the old parties. It was possible only to a party composed of the sturdy yeomanry of the freo States. It has populated our territo­ ries and newer States with the elect of our citi­ zenship. It opened a way to an ownership of the soil to a vast number of our citizens, and there is no surer bond in the direction of good citizenship than that our people should have property in the soil upon which they live. It it one of the best elements of our strength as a State that our farm lauds are so largely pos­ sessed in small tracts and are tilled by men who own them. It is one of the best evidences of the proB|>erity of our cities that so large a pro­ portion of the men who work are covered by their own roof-trees. If wo would perpetuate this condition we must maintain the American scale of wages. The policy of the subdivision of the soil is one that tends to strengthen our na­ tional life. God grunt that it may be long before we have in this country a tenantry that is hope­ lessly such from one generation to another. That condition of things which makes Ireland a land of tenants and which holds in vast estates tho lands of England must never find footing hire. Small farms invite the church and school- house into the neighborhood. Therefore it was that in tho beginning the Re publican party de­ clared for free homes of a quarter section each. That policy should be perpetuated as long as our public domain lasts, aud all our legislation should tend in the direction which I have indi­ cated." At the conclusion of the speechmaking each one of the Tippecanoe veterans was introduced to the General, who went through the handshak­ ing ordeal with tho entire 2,SOD or more people. The effects of t e ex reine heat and tbe exertion were visible on the General at the fiuish. DONE WITH UBOTER. Bolt of the Ex-Speaker of the Mew Jersey Assembly. [Washington teiegram.] John T. Dunn, ex-Speaker of the New Jersey Assembly, a prominent Democratic politician, has comi out unflinchingly for "Tippecanoe and Protection, too." "Yes, I am going to vote for Harrison," said he to-day, "because I am dis­ gusted with my party, and I have been since it became a free-trade organization. If tho party managers imagine they can bam­ boozle the workingman into calmly accept­ ing a dollar a day instead of three because a mob of Southern aristocrats and that Buf­ falo gentleman who occupies the White House wish to put English clothing on themselves and English wages on us they will find Nov. C that they have made a how ing error. They will be hunting wildly around for a hole to crawl into and a favorable opportunity of pull­ ing tho hole in after them. It is a toss-up of a> copper cent with ine whether or not I shall Siump the State for Harrison and Morton. The Irish-Americans at Elizabeihport, where I live, will vote the protection ticket almost to a man. As you know, that is the manufacturing quarter of tbe city, and if the Democrats think the me­ chanics and laborers there are a parcel of fools they are mightily mistaken. I am a Democrat, but when those naniboynnt 'outhern aristocrats and Anglouianiac aping dudes join hands to pull the country down, I, for one, intend to pull against them. No sir; I'll have no English In mine." A Whole Factory Comes Over. The firm of Doty A McFarlin, manufacturers of surface-coated paper at Willonghby avenue and Walwor.h streot, Brooklyn, supported Cleveland four years ago. They have Been the error of their way, however, and to-day a hand- Bome Harrison, Morton, and protection banner was flung to the breeze from the top of their factory. The firm emplpys about 1HJ hands, and the flag-raising was ail the work of,; the em­ ployes, the members of tiie firm being among the invited guests. A band played patriotic airs, and a number of protection speeches wera made.--New York dirpatch. SAID a man who bad been talking with an em­ ploye in the West Albany Railroai shops : "I am told that you can't find half a dozen Democrats in those shops that, will vote for Cleveland. Tbey don't care for Harrison any more than ftbey do for Cleveland, but they believe that Har­ rison will protect them, and that he represents the party Uiat will protect them."--AlSmy Ex- A STRONG TICKET.

V "'IMIS is Short Ordofe;'-- - • With hut One Exception AH the Present State Officers Unanimously '[•KZ Renominated. : ' v * fiatform Adopted in Harmony will the Principles of the Repub­ lican Party. The Michigan Republicans assembled fn State convention at Detroit on the 9th inst., and, after effecting a temporary organization, with Maj. Watkins, of Kent County, in the chair, ad­ journed over till the 10th. Before reassembling the Committee on Permanent Organization re­ ported the names of G. W. Farr, of Grand Haven, for permanent Chairman, and CoL Irish, of Kal­ amazoo, for Permanent Secretary. Nominations fer Governor being in order. Judge Williams, of Allegan, presented tne name of Cyrus G. Luce. "The only speech I have to make," he said, "is that he is honest, competent, faithful, and he is not afraid of a sheep." On motion of a delegate, the nomination was made unanimous by a rising vote, and three cheers were given. Gov. Luce returned his thanks, nnd said it was notnecesBary to define his position on tho politi­ cal issues ot the day. He believed in the stand- ard-ln arer of the Republican parly, and that it was to succeed In the coming election. If elected be could only pledge unflagging industrv, fidtLty, etc., to the interests of tne State and its best good. James S. McDonald, for Lieutenant Governor; Gil R. Osmun, for Secretary of State; George L. Maltz. for State Treasurer; H. H. Aplin, for Auditor General, and lioscoe D. Dix, for State Land Commissioner, all present incumbents of offices, were unanimously renominated by accla­ mation, but a ballot waa directed for Attorney General. Dr. McNabb, of Newaygo, placed the Hon. Edward E. Edwards in nomination. Bur­ ton Paiker, Stephen V. R. Trowbridge, and Philip Padgliam were also placed in nomination. 8tepben V. R. Trowbridge received the nomi­ nation cn the first ballot. The ticket was com­ pleted as follows : Joseph Estabrook for State feuperintendent of Public Instruction, Percy F. Power for member of the State Board of Educa­ tion ; Gen. Russell A. Alger and Isaac Cappen, of Ottawa County, a representative Hollander, were nominated as Electors at largo. Gen. Alger's nmne was presented in a neat speech by Col. Henry M. Dufiield, late manager of the Alger campaign in Chicago, and his name evoked great enthusiasm. This nomination and that of Isaac Cappen went through with a rush. The platform submitted by Senator Babcock, Chairman of the committee, and adopted by the convention, is as follows : Tlie Republicans of Michigan, assembled in State Convention, reaffirm their faith and confi­ dence in the principles expressed and candidates selected by the National Republican party at its recent convention at Chicago. That in Ben­ jamin Harrison we rectgnize unquestioned in­ tegrity. high statesmanship, and devoted patriot­ ism. and pledge to him and his honorable and distinguished associate our vigorous and earnest support. We do most fully and cordially indorse the wise, economical' and statesmanlike adminis­ tration of GoV. Cyrus G. Luce, and commend the vigilance and c< urage with which he has discharged the official rtuties of his great office. We are also justly proud of the faithful and capable manner iu which every State officer has discharge i the duties of his office during the present term. We believe in that system of protection which has built up and diversified our industries and has made us the best f< d, clothed, housed, and the happiest and most civilized of all jiecples, which has rewarded lal>or with wages and condi­ tions unequaled elsewhere, and which has made our markets the envy of all the world. We ar­ raign and censure Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party for their bitt r and disloyal attacks up n American industries and American lal>or. especially- for their direct and merciless blows aimed atlMichigan aud those of her great industries which have advanced her to the front rank in the march of States : we arraign tbeiu for placing wool on the free list, the effect of w. icli has already been to greatlv reduce its Srice, and which, if adopted, would absolutely live from our farms the growing of sheep. We believe in tho reduction of tho increasing surplus and national revenues to gov. rmnental requirements by IUI American protective and Re­ publican method, aud not by t>n English freo trade nnd Democratic system,*end that such re­ duction should be modu with the encouragement of our industries and the better wages of our workmen ever in view. We cordia ly indorse the progressive temper­ ance legislation enacted by the last I egislature, and regret that its full fruits were not realized, owing to the technical defects in the laws held by the Supreme Court to be iu conflict with the Constitution. We record ourselves as in favor of the impar­ tial enforcement of the temperance laws of the State, and recommend to the next Le^is-ature the re-enactment of a local option law that shall be iree from constituti nal objections. Upon tho question of pensions to Union sol­ diers, their widows, orphans, and dependent ones, the R publican party, unlike its antagon­ ist, is not divided by sectional prejudices, but its Bentiments are ever grateful and patriotic. We believe the debt of gratitude we owe to tho brave defenders of our national life can only be discharged by extending to them such aid, and especially to the maimed, health-broken, and crippled svrvivors, and such care for the de­ pendent ones of deceased soldiers, as wiU bring to them comfort and do honor to a patriotic peo­ ple blessed with a bountitul land and an over­ flowing treasury. We indorse the sentiment recently uttored by our leader, Benjamin Harrison : "It is no time now to use apothecary's sia'es to weigh the re­ wards of the men who savad thrfcountry * We believe in such legislation, both State and national, as will impose severe penalties upon all organized trusts and monopolies that unjust­ ly oppress our citizens, and do hereby declare our opposition to their existence. The Republican party being in favor of pro­ tecting the products of American labor, also de­ mands the protection of American laborers, and is therefore unalterably opposed to unrestrained Chinese immigration and to the importation Of all foreign contract labor, an 1 believes that suoh laws should be enacted as will give protec­ tion to our laboring men against such competi­ tion, and secure to them the wages and labor to which they are rightfully entitled. We believe also in such legislation as will ever protect the laborer in the preservation of bis rights and se­ cure to him Bafety in his employment. We condemn the Democratic members of Con­ gress from this State for th ir willing submis­ sion to the dictation of Southern Democratic members, and for their unreasonable and dis­ loyal action upon "the refunding of thedirect tax bill" passed by the Senate, and which legally and justly by its provisions would have turned into our Stale Treasury nearly half a million of dollai'6, and would have reduced the burdens of Michigan taxpayers so much. We also arraign' the Democratic party for its criminal insincerity in indorsing the Mills bill and nominating can­ didates wl:o have declared their opposition thereto, itB preten<led 4ovo of party and the bar­ ter aud sale of its princijiles unii the name of Democracy to a meaningless fusion for the sake of votes. Its indefensible action in keei ing Da­ kota from the sisterhood of States; the scur­ rilous vetoes of pension bills ; its incompetency and failure to reduce the surplus; and the pros­ titution of the civil service so soon following the glowing declaration of tho newly elected Democratic President, are but a few of its incon­ sistencies. We invite the intelligent voters of Michigan to an examination of he record and principles of the Republican party, and we solicit the co-op­ eration of all who believe in the continued in­ dustrial progress of c ur State and in the protec­ tion of labor, the farm, and tbe workshop, and against the dang rs threatened them. Mr. Miller, of Saginaw, stated that the com­ mittee had been unanimous on the report, ex­ cept tbe plank relating to temperance. Charles J. Osborne, of Marquette, said he had refrained from Bigning the report,because he disapprovea the resolution. S. S. Babcock, of Detrcit. said tbe Republican party could not afford to take a backward step. Col. E. M. Irish, of Kalamazoo, though in fa­ vor of strong temperance measures, did not think it wise to adopt legislation on a subject on which the best lawyers were divided. Gen. Williams, of Allegan, thought the resolu­ tion did not fully cover the ground. Ex-Congressman Hub) ell was of the opinion that Republicans could take no backward step, and asked for a recess to luore fully consider the .matter. JanieB H. Stcne, ot Detroit, declared theRr- publicans were fully committed to local option and a high tax, which-volicy had been enacted by a Republican l eg siftture and had been ap­ proved by a Republican Governor. He colled attention to the firm Republican position of most of the Northern Stites, including the action taken by the enthusiastic Republican convention of Indiana. The motion for a recess was then voted down, and the platform adopted with a majority appar­ ently four to one. The convention then adjourned sine die, with three cheers for the ticket. A special frrm Detroit says: "Tbe Republican party o. Michigan may well b ) p o >d of the work done in convention. The ticket is strrng in the elements that in ure success. The plat­ form is sound upon all questions at present un­ der discussion and the campaign is begun with every augury pointing to an overwl elming victory for the party of freedom. In common witbj til ? Republican 1 party of the other states, Michigan pronounces for restricted immigration, protection that will protect, and equal justice to all. The Democrats are on the run, and they are already realizing it. It is pre­ dicted here among well-informed politicians that tbe ticket nominated to-day will sweep the State by 30,000 majority." C'.V : I-BALL LAWYER MARBURY recently made a speech thirty-five honrslong in a Balti­ more court room. Progress of the Battle for tf.6 Championship of the League* ' : Ibolrolt and Chicago fraiiinfrlllosg Behind the New York ' Giants. j [CHICAGO CORRESFOHDBHC*.] The present week the Western teams bt the National League are playing the last series hut one that they will play this season. The Chicago team is to visit Philadelphia, Washington, New York, Boston, Detroit, and Pittsburgh, before returning to Chicago to open the next home series with Pittsburgh, on Aug. 27. The past two weeks has made a big change in the complexion of the pennant race. Two weeks ago Chicago was leading. Then Detroit came to the front and both the Wolverines and New Yorks passed Chicago in the pennant race. Then De­ troit began to tumble, and not only New York, but Chicago as well, passed the sluggers. The position or the teams at this writing, shows the Giants to be far iu the lead, with Anson's men second and Detroit third. The De­ troit Club is in rather an unsettled con­ dition at present. Larocque, the Lynn player, heralded by the Bostonese as a great ball-tosser, came on and made a pronounced failure as second baseman, whereupon Gauzel was returned to the base and plays it to the queen's taste. Larocque claims that the outfield is his best hold, and he will be given a trial there. This, of course, weakens the team behind the bat, as Bennett's hands are in bad shape, and Sutcliffe is the only catcher to fall back on. Director Stearns is, however, hustling for an outfielder and a catcher, aud will without doubt soon fill the gap. But what a grand game New York is playing. They commenced to pick up a month ago, when Buck Ewing began to play his game, and have been playing winning ball ever since. Your corre­ spondent remarked as much to a party of Chicago base-ball enthusiasts the other afternoon, and got them started in a gen­ uine old-fashioned discussion of the na­ tional game and its well-known teams and players. "No question but what New York is playing a fine game this year, bnt they are stronger this season than they were last," said one of the party. "You mean at third base," said another of the party. "That is right. And that reminds me that never did a team captain correct his own and the faults of his men so promptly as Ewing has done. He soon recognized his incompetency as a third baseman and promptly went behind the bat. And did anybody ever see good re­ sults come so quickly? I never did. In my opinion it has been E wing's example more than anything else that has brought the team up to its present standard. Keefe and Welch have been doing wonderful work, to be 6ure, but they have been re­ ceiving almost faultless support, and that support was the result, I believe, of Ew- ing's influence and example." "Whitney's work has also had mighty good effect upon the team generally,"said No. 3. "The men knew the team was weak there, and when Whitney jumped in and began to play third base in a style that equaled that of any third baseman in the country it most nave braced the boys up." Meanwhile, how is Chicago faring? Only so-so, thank you. I see the alarm­ ist has been getting in his work from sev­ eral points against the Spaldiug aggrega­ tion. One man draws an heroic picture of a scene between Anson and Senator Ryan in the home club-house, with Ed William­ son assuming the role of peacemaker. Non­ sense. Anson, I believe, told Jimmy after Thursday's game with Detroit that he had no business muthng Brouthers' fly to the outfiekl, and Jimmy, conscious of the fact that he had done his best, sassed the old man quite pert like. Then Anson got hot and gave Ryan an impromptu but very stiff little lecture, and big Ed Williamson disgustedly remarked, "O, shut up, Cap; for Christmas' sake, shut up," and thus drew the old man's wrath from Jimmy toward himself, with the result that the only ancient forgot all about Ryan and the latter's costly error. Then some fellow comes out and says Pfeffer has been fiued $10 for stupid in­ field work, and has got an attack of the sulks in consequence. Now this is not right. Jimmy Ryan has made some very bad breaks in the center field, and yet he has offset them with some of the prettiest work ever seen in any outfield. So with Pfeffer. Thtough his monkey business and circus work around second Fred has let many a man to his base, and although through loss of temper he has given cause for some harsh criticism,, he is man enough, I believe, to know when he has reached the boundary line of tolerance. Until Pfeffer obtains the mastery over his unpleasant disposi­ tion he will always have more or less to fret over in connection with his work. Surely ho man in the team has less cause for complaint than he, and yet no man is so liable to break out over some fancied grievance or insult. These traits detract greatly from the popularity and success of a ball-player, no matter how great his reputation. They have hurt Fred Diin- lap; they have injured George Gore; they have retarded the advancement of Mullane and Latham, and have ruined several ball-players whose names have now almost been forgotten in base-ball circles. However, without attempting to moral­ ize further, 1 will say that there is abso­ lutely no foundation for the charges of discord among Chicago players at present. They feel hot and disgusted at the series of defeats they have met with, to be sure. Would they be men and ball-players if they did not feel so? While Ryan and Pfeffer are perhaps a little less tractable than the other members of the team, it is dollars to cents that they will each do all in their power toward the team's success so long as they wear its uniform. Enouc t, therefore, of these unfounded charges of dissensions and cross-purposes. There is no room for such among the Chicago players at present. Leigh Lynch has arranged dates for tha Australian team at Frisco--four gr.mes--and also at Denver and Salt Lake City. He says that the boys will be well received and duly honored at each point, and that, so far as he can judge, there will be a big attendance at all the games arranged for. I "Frisco people are crazy to see Anson," said Mr. Lynch. "It has been years since the old man has visited the coast, and the younger generation of base-ball enthusi­ asts have, of course, never seen him. I wish 1 had kept tab on the inquiries that were firetjl at me concerning him. It was laughable. One fellow wanted to know how many umpires Anson had killed, and would not believe me when I told him that the big fellow was one of the mildest- tempered and pleasantest men in the busi­ ness. They had all read the exaggerated reports of Anson's kicking propensities, and will probably be 6adly disappointed should he fail to tear up the base-bags and slaughter the umpire when we play there." "Will yoa go from here direct to Den­ ver?" "i "I cannot say yet. It was the |ntention to go to St. Paul, Minneapolis', Omaha l and a dozen other points, and if we can feel reasonably certain that we can strike favorable weather in Minnesota at that time of the year, wo shall probably make the trip that way." "Is Frisco the only point yon will touch on the coast?" "I cannot tell that yet. We have re­ ceived several urgent letters from Spokane Falls, np near Portland, Oregon, to play there.
