In- HIS NOMINATION NOW PROBABLE At Least That 1b the Claim Made by Hla Friends, Who Give Out Figures to Back .Their Assertion The New Jersey Democratic Convention. IS'DtAXArous, May 8. Tho Indiana Ito- publican couvontlon yosterdny Instructed Its delegates for Major McKlnlcy with scarcely a show ot opposition. Tho plat- lorm ombodylng the Instructions was adopted by a viva voce voto and without division, tho chairman's decision that the motion to adopt had carried bolng rocolvod without a chnllongo. Gonoral Harrison did not mako his eagerly expected 'speech to tho dologntos and did not visit tho con vention at all. Tho platform declares for "sound monoy," favors the uso of both gold and sllvor at a parity, urges bimetal lism on au International basis and con demns tho froo and unlimited colnago of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1. Tho following woro chosen dclcgatcs-at- largo: U. W. Thompson of Vigo county, C. W. Fairbanks of Marlon. F. M. Mllll- kin of Henry and Gonoral Low Wullaco ol Montgomery. Alternates: It. T. MoDon aid of Allon, Hiram Brownleo of Grant, E. O. Hopkins of vnndorburg ana Goorgo li. Knox (colored) of Marlon. Electors- at-largo, II. G. Tlinyer of Marshall nnd (J. F. Jonos of Henry. Tho state ticket nominated Is ns follows: Forgovornor, Jumcs A. Mount; lloutonant governor, H. A. Hakorj soorotary of stnto, W. D. Owon; auditor, A. C. Dalloyj treas urer, Fred J. Scholtzj ottornoy general, W, A. Kotoham; supremo court roportor, Charles F. Homer; suporlntendont public Instruction, D. M. (looting; state statls ticlan, S. J. Thompson. Tho suddon collapsj of tho autl-MoKln- ley forces was n surprise allko to frlonds and foes ot tho Ohloan. Thoro was little doubt, when tho convention mot, that In structlons would carry, but a warm light was oxpootcd, and a light, too, In which Genoral Harrison's namo would figure promlnontly. Tho half noooptod Invita tion to tho ox-nrcsldent to address tho con vontlon had lod to tho vague hopo on tho part of the antl-lnstructlon pooplo that an oleventh hour sonsatlon would bo sprung which would save tho day to thorn. No one bollovod that tho goaonil would lndl cato to tho sllgutost extent that his namo mlaht bo oonsldorod, but It was persist ently rumored that ho might deliver an addross, whloh, while non-coinmlttal, would causo a stampede and dofoat reso lutions. That was tho groat struggle of tho opposition to permit Molvluloy ln dorsemont If nooossary, but to provont In structions at all hazards. Hut Geuorul Harrison foiled to nppoar, As tho convention preliminaries proceeded tho crlot for hliu and cheers for him wcro frequont and hoarty, but as permanent or conization was ollocted nnd commlttoo ro- ports procoodod his continued absence bo iran to toll ou tho antl-lnstruetlon dolo- giites. Whon tho report of tho commlttoo ou resolutions, tho signal for tho oxpoctod battlo, wa3 onllod thoro woro frantlo yells of "Harrison 1" "Harrison I" but tho ox presldont was at homo, a ratio away, and tho fight was plainly loit. Tho various planks In tho platform wore hoartlly choorod, aud when tho lustruo- tions Woro roachod tho outburst of up- plauso wui tromondous. When It had BUbslded tho motion to adopt wn3 moda nnd put, and, ulthough thoro woro frantlo yells of "No 1" for tho nogatlvo, tho voto was very ovldontly about 3 to 1 In tho Ohloan's favor. There was nn Interval of nnnlauso sulllolonli ' satisfy the most ex acting of MoKlulov enthusiasts, and thou tho delegates abruptly settled down to tho work of moklns a ticket, apparently ut torly forgetting tho Indiana proddontlal situation, which has ueen n muiter oi ua- tlonal Interest for months. Tho suddeu wind uo of what hod been exneoted to bo o sensational and bitter llaht was a marked feature of tho day's proceeding. What Its slgnlflcanco and what tho significance of Genoral Harrl sou's failure to address tho delegates may bo, was a matter thoroughly discussed about politicians headquarters last night, but opinions widely differed. Sonio ex pressed tho opinion that tho ox-presldont felt that tho Instructions wcro a direct slap nt him, whllo others declared that ho had merely omphuslzcu his previously ox- prossed doslro to ho considered eutlroly out of tho presidential situation. General Harrison refusod to discuss tho day's prcn ceodlugs In uuy way. NUW JKKSUV DEMOCRATS. Delegates Go Unlhgtrut-tcl Tho Conven. tloit Appluud Itnssell'a Naine TliENTON, May 8. Tho Democratic oon ventlon mot horo yesterday, and after a struggle elected tho four slated candidates for dolegates-at-lnrgo to tho national con vention at Chlcugo, as follows: United States Sonator James Smith, Jr., of Essex county, ox-United States Senator Hufus Blodgett of Monmouth, ox-Stnto Chair man Allon Ij. MoDormott of Hudson and ex-Judge Albert Tnllmnn of Gloucester. Tho notable feature of tho convention was an Ineffectual effort to stampede tho delo gatos In favor of ox-Senator Frederick Marsh, of Union county, ns ono of tho delegates at-loruo against Mr. Blodgett, who was one of the four ou tho slnto agreed upon by the party loadors In tho morning. William J. Thompson had boon lnduecd to withdraw from tho contost. Allen MoDcrmott was tho one londor who stood out against tho slato, and whon tho voting was ooraplotod, and boforo the rosult was announced, ho was on tho floor leading the effort to stampedo tho conven tion aud denouncing Blodgott as a traitor to his party. McDormott has novor for glvon Blodgott fop having aocopted an election as United States senator In 1S87 nt tho hands ot a cumbinatUn nt Ilepubll cans nud bolting Democrats, whieh de feated the late ij.jwruoi- Abb itt. thi' Di-m-ociaiiei-aaea a .n..i M J m . was closely amiiatod witn tfovoruor Ar.., both politically and personally. Tho ef fort to break tho slato only resulted ln throwing the convention Into tho wlldost confusion for about ton minutes. Mr. Marsh got 41il out of W)7 votes, Kx-Judgo Carroa, of Camden, was also put forward by tho slnto smashers as the representative of tho young Democracy, but ho also foil otitsldo tho breastworks. Tho platform adopted declarod strongly for a gold monoy standard and warmly In dorsed tho administration of President Cleveland. Tho fact that Mr. Cleveland has not expressed himself ns willing to ac cept tho nomination was tho only thing that prevented au effort to Instruct tho delegates for his rcnomluntlon. Tho Clovo- nnd sentiment In tho convention was trong, nnd tho effort might havo proved iucceesful had It boon mado. No effort tvas mado to Instruct tho dolognies, but much enthusiasm was ovokod by tho chair man's mention in his epoech of tho namo of ox-Governor Humjll, of Massachusetts. Among tho delegates from tho southern portion of tho state tho sentiment Is largely forox-GoTornor Pattlson, of Pennsylvania. Aside from tho fight against Blodgett there was no hitch In tho program as agrood upon. Ex-Speakor James J. Ber gen was tomporary chairman and Hon. John W. Quoen, of Hudson, was ft rina nont chairman of tho convention. Iloth mado ringing addrossos, whloh woro loudly applauded, Tho platform declaroj In favor of a firm, unvarying litalntouanco of tho prosont gold standard, and opposos tho f reo coin age of sliver nt any ratio and tho compul sory purchase of sllvor bullion by tuo gov ernment. It opposos any offort to alter the prosont Ju3t nnd conservative tarni, favors llbornl oxpondlturos to maintain adequate coast defenses, indorsos tho ad ministration of President Clevclnnd, nnd expresses sympathy with tho struggling Cubans. Senator Sherman Thinks It's Settled. Washington, May 8. Tho news from Indlnnnpolls was awaited with Interest nt tho Capitol. Whon Indiana's action bo camo known Sonator Sherman said tho question was settled, nnd ho bellovod Mr, ilolvlnley would bo unanimously nomi nated. Tho overwhelming sentiment, both north nnd south, was for him to such an cxtont that thore could bo no other out- como. Frlonds In tho sonate of other candidates and candidates thomselves gen erally received tho nows with a grim Bmllo, but declined ns a rulo to bo quoted, senator Quay said that ho did not consldor tho fight closed until tho convention should declaro itself, as much would de pend upon tho contesting delegations Senator Lodgo, referring to tho length of tho declaration, said, jokingly, that It hardly soomod "adequate" Sonator Cul lorn smllod whon ho read tho dispatch, but docllncd to mnko nny comment, as did Mr. Manley and Seuator Allison. Michigan Iloiubllcnns for McKlnlcy, Detroit, May 8. An animated fight over tho monoy quostlon was tho most striking feature of tho Michigan llcpubll can convention yosterday. It rosulted In squelching both tho gold plank offured by tho majority and tho silver plank sub mitted by tho minority of the resolutions commlttco, nnd tho substitution therefor of tho monoy plank ot tho Minneapolis platform of '0-3. MoKlnley was Indorsed most unequivocally, nnd tho delogatos woro strongly lustrtictod in his fnvor. u, M. Forry was chosen chairman of tho state contrul commlttoo, but It Is not oor- tain that ho will accept tho post, both himself and Genoral Alger, whoso namo was also prosouted, having declined tho honor In advance.
