Isolanapous, August 8 The Re publican State Convention of Indiana convened this morning in Tomlinson Hall, this city. The .great eonven tion hall has a seating capacity of 4,000 and is crowded to overflowing, several hundred ladies being preseut in the galleries. There are 1,160 del egates and as many alternates. The convention is the largest ever held in Indiana. The hall is tastefully deco rated. A large Bilk flag is sus pended from above the front of the stage, in the centre of which is a heroic portrait of Gen Harrison. On either side "f the tag hang the stars and wb.Ie surrounding the hall hang numerous pictures of Harrison .-. Morton, Garfield, Linooln. G-ant m; others Over 500 prominent Republican occupy the platform an 1 gr"a entl;; iasm prevailed for half au hour i;i to calling the conven-iori t order, the band playing "Marching Through Georgia" and the vast audit n join ing in cheers. At 10.50 Chirman J B Huston, of the State cwut'ial com mittee, opened the convention. Im mediately the convention was called to order Senator Johnson, of Wayne county, made a vigorous protest against the delegates being crowded out of their seats by spec'atorH. Fully four hundred delegates were unable to obtain seats and stood in the crowded aisle. Consideiable con fusion prevailed in attempting to clear the aisles, in the midst of which Delegate Dresser, of Ripley county, moved that the convention take a recess till 2 o'clock and that no person be admitted to the main floor but those holding delegate tickets. This motion was adopted. The working of delegates into their proper localities and ejecting alter nates and other intruders ihen prog ressed amidst some confusion. Quiet having been restored, the pro ceedings of the convention were opened with prayer by Rev. E P. Whalen, of Indianapolis. Secretary Dill, of the State committee, then read the call for the convention. A new method of procedure was inaugurated by the State committee which did away with the temporary organization of the convention. The delegates from the several Congressional districts were called together in separate conferences last night and appointed their members to the committees on credentials, or ganization and resolutions. These committees met at a late hour last night and began their work. The committee on permanent organization selected Hon. Wm. H. Calkins, of In diana, for permanent chairman. The committee on credentials reported no contests- Chairman Norrisen, of the committee on organization, then re ported the names of W. H. Calkins for permanent chairman, and M. L DeMotte, 0 Porter county, as secre tary, v ' Delegate Gardiner moved ut committee of three be appointed to visit Gen. Harrison and invite him to attend the convention The motion was carried amid wild enthusiasm. The list of vice presidents and presidential electors having been received, the report of the committee on organization was 'unanimously adopted, and Chairman Huslon presented ex Congressman Calkins to the convention, who was received with loud cheers. I In his address Chairman Calkins briefly re viewed the achievements of the lie nuhlican nartv. When he referred to "protection to America labor aud industrv." the convention cheered lustilv. He touched upon the civil service law. declaring that President Cleveland used the civil service ques tion like a platform to a car. He used it to get in on,but when he' got in he aaw the sign, "Don't stand on the olatform .'"and he did not. (Vocifer ous cheers.) He condemned the ad ministration for its delay in settling the fisheries question, and declared that the policv of intimidation which prevailed in the eleven Southern States had been extended to Indiana He favored local option and high li cense, which sentiment waa heartily applauded. . . ria--4aa. - THBCOHHVKE.

In the afternoon there will be a yacht race between the fleet of the Carolina Yacht Club over their eight mile course. The home companies will not enter the contest against their visitors, but after the test, our fire department will give exhibitions of its skill and will endeavor to beat the time made by their guests. The third regular regatta of the Yacht C ub was sailed on. the 4th inat. with some entries, four yachts of the first cluss and five of the second. Th interest in the race was centered on tho yachts Mascot te, Idler and Peggoty of the, first class, lhe wo first named crafts had each borne off tho honors th.s season. The Peggo'y, which is a new yacht.-owned by Mr. H. Walters, general Manager of the A. C. L , was expected to show her heels to her competitors, but her qualities were not known and the odds were in favor of the old lavor-ites- Th race was a very close one, the Peggoty winning by about one minute aud forty seven eeconds over the Idler, and a little Jess than two minutes over the Mascotte. The Mas- cotte was sailed by her owner, Mr. George D. Parsley, the Idler by her owner, Mr. Pembroke Jones, and the Peggoty by Mr. N orwood Giles.

Company to invite i President Cleveland here, next summer to in dulge iu his favorite amusement. It is rumored that the company has found the Island Beach inadequate in size and that they wll erect a larger hotel this winter and have every thing completed by the early spring. There appears to be quite a rupture in the Republican ranks in this county, instigated by a feeling of in dignation growing out of Judge Rus sell's letter of (Judication. The movement ia headed by the better class of colored men, among whom are the most prominent leaders of their race. They contend that Rus sell has done more to humilia-e and degrade them than any man in the State, and, further, they will throw off the yoke of bossism which has been galling to them for some t;me past They have organized as the Frew and Independent Republican Party and have nine large clubs in a prosperous condition.

He opened bis speech by saying that he was glad to address this people as American citi zens; that their rights had not been fully recognized until they had placed Grover Cleveland in the Presidential chair. He then proceeded to take up the question of the tariff and showed, in a comprehensive manner, the in iquities and working of the present system. The people listened atten tively and it is our opinion that he made a marked impression. He al luded in a telling manner to the record of the Republican party in this State and appealed to Democrats to stand to their colors to a man; that this was a momentous period in the history of the country and it behooved every Democrat to do his duty. He spoke for fully one hour and a half and oar people were pleased with his terse way of putting things. There was no mincing of matters. Hon. B. H. Buna was the next speaker. He opened his remarks by de nying a lying charge published in a paper, edi td by a negro, in Rocky Mount, to the effect that while he was president of the Rocky Mt.

"One wag in the crowd desired to know if Tom had yet got sober. He commenced to congratulate himself at the spectacle of enthusiasm before him and that it was evident that the Republican party; in North Carolina had touched the big heart of the masses. This assertion touched the heart of a few negroes and they yelled. "Tom was not long in finding some thing to talk about, but he was at a loss how to manage it. He drank water and circled, around it several times, boon he hit one square blow by saying that Mr. Cleveland had ap pointed negroes to office, and at this the negroes in the crowd yelled. Staggered at this, Tom took another drink of water and said be really did not expect to make a speech. By this lime he had made up his mind that the negroes were a 'set of savages' no belter than . their brethren in African swampa, and said he didn't want any negro ia his. The big white eyes of the negroes in the crowd stood out in tht ir heads like door knobs.

T Maklanar Legislative Ticket. The county convention did itself great credit in the selection of a leg islative ticket. No abler or more pop ular ticket could have been placed in the field. It will be successful. No combination can beat it. The nomi nees are above reproach as men and Democrats. They command the con fidence of the voters of the entire county. The nominee for the Senate, J. Sol Reid,iEsq has spent his life in farming, merchandising or school teaching. He is at present a farmer. Thia is not the first time he has been 'clothed with the honors of a Demo cratic nomination. Years ago he represented the county in the House with great credit and acceptance. He was a recognized leader in the body and reflected honor upon he historic county he represented. Of the nominees of the House all will concede their popularity to be like that of the nominee who heads the ticket. They are men of Btain less records both in public and private life. They are inexperienced as- campaign era, ana as legislators, but they are wide awake, ao ive bus iness men, and pre-eminently repre sentatives of tne people. Messrs. N. Gibbon and J. Watt Hood, are in telligent enterprii-ing Krmer, and Mr. 3. C. Long, a oung and progres sive merchant. They are sound Dem ocrats. Naught can be said against them. They command the respect of all who know them. The people will vote for them and elect them, one and all, because they are Democrats, and are fitted by intelligence and virtue to represent them usefully and honor ably as legislators in the General As sembly.
