Charles Holmes, a full-blood Choctaw, has been legally shot at the Pushmataha court grounds, Indian territory, for the murder of Chas. Kiotubby, his step-son-in- law. Holmes was led out of the court houst, where religious services had been held, and placed on a box before the court house, five paces from the door. A blindfold was placed over his eyes, and two deputy sher- iffs stood on either side of Holmes holding his hands. Deputy Sheriff Bob Jackson did the shooting, standing just inside the court house door. Jackson missed the mark placed over the victim's heart, strik- ing two inches beneath. The murderer lived for ten minutes, suffering agony. Holmes’ wife was present, but did not seem to be affected to any great extent. —<+se- Eleven Taken From the Ruins, The eleventh body was taken last night from the ruins of the Walnut street build- ing in Cincinnati demolished by an ex- plosion Monday night.

Nomination of the State Ticket at Indianapolis—Tennessece Democrats— New Jersey Democrats Adjourn, It was after 3 o’clceck when the republi- can convention at Detroit, Mich., was again called to order yesterday afterncon. Tele- grams of greeting were read from the Cali- fornia and Indiana conventions, announc- ‘ing instructions for McKinley in both. The temporary organization was made perma- rent, and the resclution committee was given fursher time, the money plank dis- cussion heving Gelayed its progress. The election of delegates-at-large was proceeded with, and Gen. R. A. Alger of Detroit and Thomas J. O'Brien were unani- mously chosen: For third delegate-at-large there were nominated John Duncan of Calumet and Perry Hanaah of Traverse City. After the yote by counties had been partially taken, Mr. Hannah's uame was “temporarily” withdrawn, and the ballot of,the conven- tion went to Duncan. Mark S. Brewer of Pontiac and Frank W. Gilchrist of Alpena were the leading contestants for fourth jegate-at-large. Biewer wor on the se: ond vote by counties. ‘The Currency Plank.

They were Gen. R.A. Alger and Dexter M. Ferry of Detroit. Mr. Ferry, who is now in California, won the uneoveted honor, and it is believed he will be induced to accept. The convention con- cluded shortly after 6 o'clock. Ex-Gov. Taylor Nominated. The largest d-mocratic state convention ever held in Tennessee has met and ad- journed. It was a free silver conveation from start to finish. Fully 3,500 delegates and visitirs were at Nashville yesterday. Nothing of importance was done until about 9 o'clock last night, when a vote on contested delegations’ reports showed that the free silver men proposed to grant no quarter t» the handful of sound money del- egates.

Harris and W. rmack, Memphis, and 1 Chattancega, were ch from the state at ‘ge to Chicago. strict delegates chosen were acceptd by the conventicn. ‘The platform ccrtains a strong free sil- ver plank, as follows “We demand a restoration of money of the Constitetion b w proviling for the free and unlimited coinage of botn gold and silver as full legal tender money at the ratio of 16 to 1, regardless of the action of any other nation.” The platform also demands laws, staie and national, making xold and silver legal tender for all debts and prohibiting con- tracts discrimineting against either, the repeal of 10 per cent tax on issues of state barks, tariff for revenue onl tax, and the administration of Presiden: Cleveland not mentioned and only ferred to by inference. Ex-Goy. Robert L. Taylor was nominated for governor by acclamation. New Jersey’ Democri.ts Excited. The New Jersey democratic convention yesterday, after a struggle, elected can dates for delegates-at-large to the national convention at Chicago as follows: Senator Janes Smith, jr., ex-Senator Rufus Blod- gett, ex-State Chairmen Allan L. Mec’ mott and ex-Judge Albert Talima election of sixteen district a also ratified. The convention was an ineffectual effort to stampede the delegates in favor of ex-Sen- ator Frederick Marsh against Mr. Blodgett. Allan McDermott was the one leader who stood out against the slate, and when the voting was completed and before the result was announced he was on the floor leading the effort to stampede the convention and denouncing Blodgett as a traitor to his party. McDermott has never — forgiven Blodgett fer having accepted an election a: United States Senator in 1887 at the hand of a combination of republicans ahd bolt ing democrats, which defeated the late Governor Abbett, the democratic caucus nominee. McDermott was closely affillat- ed with Governor Abbett, both politically and personally. ‘The effort to break th slate only resulted in throwing the con- vention into the wildest confusion for about ten minutes. Mr. Marsh got 413 out of 9 votes. Ex-Judge Carrow of Camden was also put forward by the slate-smashers as the representative of the younger democ- racy, but he also fell outside of the breast- work. The platform warmly indorsed the administration of President Cleveland. The fact that Mr. Cleveland has not expressed himself as willing to accept the nomination was the only thing that prevented an effort to instruct the delegate for renomination. The Cleveland sentiment in the convention was strong, and the effort might have proved successful had it been made. No The cates was notatle feature of the effort was made to instruct the delegates, but the enthusiasm was evoked by the chairman's mention in his speech of the mame of ex-Governor Russell of Massa- chusetts. Among the delegates from the southern portion of the state the senti- ment is largely for ex-Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania. Nominated at Indianapolis. After The Star's report of the Indiana republican convention closed yesterday the following ticket was nominated: Governior—James A. Mount of Montgom- ery county. Lieutenant governor—W. S. Haggard. Secretary of state—W. D. Owen. Auditor—A_ C. Dailey. Treasurer—F. J. Scholz. Attorney gereral—W. A. Ketcham. Suprem> court reporter—Charles F. Remy. Superintendent of instruction—D. M. Geet’ng. Statisticlan—1_ J. Thompson. Judges of the appellate court—W. D. Robinson, Wm. 8, Henley, James B. Black, U. Z. Wiley and D. W. Comstock. James A. Mount, the nominee for gov- ernor, is a farmer of Shannondale. He is an ex-member of the state senate, is prom- inent in farm institute work and yearly de- livers lectures in the agricultural depart- ment of Perdue University, He is quite wealthy. The convention adjourned sine die at 3:30 this morning. CONV e+ ENTION DELEGATES.
