Grover Cleveland is en- dorsed as tho logical candiaate of the demo- cratic party and iu the event of the nomina- tion of Mr. Cleveland being inexpedient the delegation is instructed to uss all houorable means to secure the nomination of Governor Isaac P, Gray for tho presidency. "Che delegation which goes to the national convention is understood to bo about equally composed of personal followers of Cleveland and Gray, although cach faction naturally claims to have a majority of thirty delegatos. The understanding seems to be cordial and sincero tuat tho delogation shail cast its sohd vote for Grover Cleveiand on the first baliot, but that the minute the convention turns its attention to “dark horses” Isaac Pusey Gray is to receive the entire voto of the dele- gation as the favorite son of Inalana. The First Surprase, ‘The surprise of tho day was the defeat of John G. Suaukiin of Evansville for the nom- ination for governor. He has been steadily in the lead until yesterday and is pronounced emphatically in favor of Cleveland, and his fricnds hoped the great Cleyeland sentiment 1n the convention -vould carry bim through, The result, however, showoed that each of the thice other candidates, all of whom were neatral 1n the presidential question, drow away many of the Cleveland delegates, while the Gray people, on account of Shauklin’s hostility to their candidate, were ngainst him to & man. Senator Turpie was mado pormanent chairman of the convention, and on taking the chair he made a speech in wnich he said the convention meant the condemuation of all force bilis apd federal returning boards; it meant the reduction of the tariffl in the interest of tho workingman as against the banditti of tariff trusts and combinations; it meant that the. farmer skould no tonger give @ part of his crop as a compulsory tribute to the protected monovolist; 1t meant retrenchment of tue public exponses and political death to the advocates of ex- travagance. The speaker arraigned Harri- son as “‘the completest embodiment of the crrors, falsehoods and follies of the republi- can party.” Judicial; Ticket, At the conclusion of Turpie’s address the platforin, a synopsis of which was sent in these dispatelies last night, was read and uu- animously adopted. The greatest enthusiasm was caused by tho resolution de- claring for Cleveland, ~ but en- dorsing Governor Gray as the choice of In- disua should Cleveland’s nomination becume impossible, The adherents of both tried to outdo each other in their frautic cheers at the mention of their favorite's names. The plank in the platform commending labor unions and declariug that the democratic party wus the friend of thelaboring man was reoeived with cheers. ‘Lhie foltowiag ticket iwas then nominated: Judges of tho suprome court: Second district, W. New; Third district, James McCabe; ifth district, T. . Howard. Judges appellate court: First district, orge L. Reinhardt; Second, Frank B. iavin; ‘Fhird, Theodope 1. Davis; Fourth, 0. J. Loty of Delaware, nominated on the second ballot; Fifth district, G. C. Ross of Cass couunty on the third ballot. Gray's Pleture Turned to the Wall, At this juncture the most amusing incident of the day occurred. Laree sized portraits of ay, Cloveland and Hendricks had been suspended in a row ubove the stago during tho proceedings. Sudaonly the portrait of Gray began 1o swing, probably impelled by a slight draught of air, aud finally turning with the face to the wall, rested in that po- sition. Instantly there was a wild yell of applause 1rom tne Cleveland men, who re- garded this us an omen of the retirement of Isuuc Pusey Gray from the presidential race. Frantic attempts were made by tha Gray men on the stuge 1o restore the picture o its original position, but it versistod steadily in swinging back with the face to the wall and cach unsuccessul attempt o readjust 1t was orly the signal for jeers of Lilarity from the Cleveland men and cries of “They turned his picture to the wall.”’ The Gray men finally desisted and the ex-governor’s por- trait remained for an bour with his face to the wall, urtil some thoughtiul genius finally insorted'guy cords to keep it steaay. While these wild attempts were being made to preserve the pertrait in a dig- nified position, another draught of aircauchy Cleveland’s portrait and 1t, too, by to swing to one side. Immeaiately there wes deafening jeers of delight frum” tho Gray men, bub their enthusiasm was short lived, I'ne portrait only stvung half way round and when 1tstopped, facing the ladies’ gallery, the fair admirers of the cx-president up. plauded this unconscious deference to their sex, the Cleveland men caught it up and the late mishap was made the occasion for an- other enthusiastio Cleveland demonstration, Nowination for Gov The great interest of the day began when the nomination of a candidaté for governor wus declared in order. John G, Shauklin of Evansy’ Mason J, Niblack of Viucennes and Mortimer Nye of Laporte were each presented in nomination, with the usual manifestations of enthusiasm, but the wild- est aemonstration of tho day took place when Claude Matthews of Clinton was presented as “tho farmer cancidate.’ His followers, evidently in accordance with a preconcerted agreement, leaped to their feet en masse when his hame was presented, and tossiug their bats and handkerchiefs in the mir gave cheer after cheer for their candidate, until eries caught the infection and for three minutes it looked as though Mr. Mat- thews wizht be nominated by acclamation, ‘I'nis cemonsiration was but one of the clover tricks of \he politicians, but it auswered its purpose, for wuen tho roll was called Mat- thews forgod anead and kept advancing This was a great surprise to the Shanklin people, as that gentleman by posing as the Cievelaud candidite bad recently developed great streuglh and was generally supposed to be in the lead. ‘The conclusion of the ballot showed Mat- thews within a few votes of the nominatio: thie resuit being_ Matthews, 618; Shanklin, 800; Niblack, 174, und Nye, 150. Immedi ately St. Juseph county changed her twenty s1x votes to Matthews, aud when Tippecanoo followed by givinz her twenty-threo votes his nomination was assurod, and as the band or, struck up “Auld Lang Syne' cheer after cheer was given for the successful cundi- date, Matthe Divine Privileg: Tue nomination was made unanimous, and then there were loud cries of “Matthews, Matthews™ Prolonged applause greeted the appearance of Mr, Matthews, who spoke briefly, thauking the convention for the honor it bad conferred upon him. It was a diviue privilego to be a aemocrat, be said, but it was a glorious privilege to be the standard bearer of democracy, aud while their standard was In bis geeplug it should not be trailed in the dust, There were loud cries for Shanklin, and he tinally responded 1n & feliaitous speech. He haa prepared, he suid, 8 wholly different speech from the one be was about 1o delivor. He was disappointed at defeat, but he would not be found skulkiug in bis tent, for tnut disappointment was not one which would vankle in bis beart.

Tho fact was, they added, that the commander of the fort had been vr- dored to keep tho closest watch upon move ments of vessels in the harbor to prevent tho landing of the revels, who it was known werae only a fow leagues distant. Ho had seen tho Canada’s entrance and concluded that revo- lutionists were certainly aboard, as the ves- rdon Bonnett 1 | Tho go sel camo suspiciously noar to tho shore be- fore anchoring. Duly Apologi Of course panic aboard followed, Passen- Rors and crew ran about distractedly, while thie commander of tho vessel hastened ashoro and lodged complaint with the 'rench consul general, The consul promptly entered a protest agaiust the outra o was met with abject apolozies. It was all o mistake, a grievous, but pardonable error of judgment, the government officials declared. Whether this explanation is sstisfactory or not to the consul, I have not learned, but the episode will undoubtedly make the.government morc careful in tho future. The Cauada was not seriously injured, nor any of the passengors burt, In my dispatch of yesterday I described the utter repulse of the government forces near Polito, As 1 said, it was the final charge upon the insurgents who wera unaer com- mand of General Mora. I have ascertained the foliowing additional details of the event of the two days previous to this encounter. They Have ) Another small cargo of arms and ammuni- tion for Curacon, that Dutch island, seveuty- five miles to the north of the main coast, was landed on the night of April 12 at Moron, & small village, six leagues westof Puorto Cabello. - This cargn is said to have dncluded 500 Mannlicher nfles, which were lately aistributed among Mora's men. annlichers, " fishermen, returning to Paerto Cavello, re--| ported that they had noticed a rakish craft standing out some ton miles from Moron, at sunmise on April 13, She was flying the Dutch flag. On the afternoon of tho same day word was received from Polito that a party of federalists had appeared near that town carrying new arms. Theso varous reports caused great alarm among the government leaders at Puerto Cabello, as it had been supposed that Mora's follow- ors possessed only smooth bore guus, relics of the time of General Pacz, and a fow rus! machietes. These arms, of course, were practically worthiess opposed to thoso car- vied by Palacio’s troops. With a forco properly equipped it was realized that Mora was u foe not to be despised. £ Ie's an Old War Horse, Mora is & veteran of the Guzman-Blanco revolution, during which he comaanded tho Carriblans with distinguishea ability. Ho is of Indiar. and negro blood, educajed and the ownerof o rich plantation. Herotofore he had been arrayed on the side of the national- ists, but when Palacio issued bis recent pro- gram the old fighter declared it unconstitu- tional, and sounded the cry of revolution. His old soldiers flocked in great numbors 1o his standard. His ranks are largely made up of hardy mountainegrs and the pick of the mep cmployea us comsters. At latest ac- counts their numbers haa reached 1,500, Palacio’s leaders held a council of war at which it was stated that General Mora had possession of the coast from Polito station on the Puerto Cabello & Valencia rallway west to the Lara state line, His pickots were two leagues west of Polito. They had cut the telegraph lines but had not attempted further interferenco with tho trafle of tho line. Prepuring for a Licking. Ivwas the general beliel that Mora was preparing to attack and capture Puerto Cabello and tho railway, and necoraingly strong government guards on tho night of April 13 wero thrown into tho outskirts of the town., Advanced pickets were placed on the high road in the divection of Polito and Moron. Nine rusty old cannons for the fort were scraped and remounted, and overy available man iu Puerto Cabello was pressed into the government service. Iiven boys 13 to 15 years old wero conscripted, The national war ship Liberado, which had been ordered to I uccas with 100 men to at- tempt to retake the railway terminus there, was recalled, Ou the morning of April 14 some desuitory firing occurred betwean the federalist picket lines and 200 nationalists in the outskirts of Pavlo. The nationalists were driven back. At twenty miuutes past 8 W the morning on April 14 3 sharp engagement began at Polito, The nationalists charged and took the town, | The federahists fell back as far as General Mora's plantation, just beyond Polito, The nationulists followed, and having re- ceived reinforcements of 300 men from Puerto Uabello, renewed the attack, At noou the federalists commencad retreating as 1f endeavoring to lead Palacio’s forces into a trap, Their plan succeaded, for then fol- lowed the finul charge of the government troops, which I fully described in yesterday’s dispatch, and which resulted in the complete overturow of Palacio’s forces.
