iNDHNAroi.ts , Ind. , April 21. The com-
iromlso agreed upon nt the ( scries of confer
ences of the democratic lenders of Indiana
was carried out to the letter In the stnto
convention today. Grover Cleveland U en
dorsed as the logical candidate of the demo
cratic party and In the event of the nomina
tion of Mr. Cleveland being Inexpedient the
delegation Is Instructed to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination of Governor
Isaac P. Gray for the presidency.
The delegation which ROSS to the national
convention Is understood to bo about equally
composed of personal followers of Clovolalid
and Gray , although each faction naturally
claims to hnvo a majority of thirty delegates.
Tbo understanding seems to bo cordial and
sincere that the delegation shall cast Its solid
vote for Grover Cleveland on the ilrst ballot ,
but that tbo uilnuto the convention turns Its
attention lo "dark horsos" Isaac Pusoy
Gray Is to receive the ontlra vote of the dele
gation as the farorltosoh of Indiana.
TUo Tlrst Surprise.
The surprise of the day was tbo dnfoat of
John G. Shanklln of Kvnnsvlllo for the nom
ination for governor. Ho has been steadily
In the lead until yesterday nnd is pronounced
emphatically In favor of Cleveland , and his
friends hoped the great Cleveland sentiment
in the convention 'vould carry him through.
The result , however , showed that each of
the thVeo other candidates , nil of whom were
neutral in the presidential question , drew
away many of the Cleveland delegates , whllo
the Gray pcoplo , on account of Shauklln's
hostility to their candidate , were ngaiust him
to n man.
Senator Turplo was made permanent
chairman of the convention , and on
taking the chair ho made n speech
In which bo said tha convention
meant the condemnation of all force
bills nnd federal returning boards ;
it meant the reduction of tbo tariff in the
interest" the worklngman ns ajainst the
banditti of tariff trusts ami combinations ;
It meant that tho- farmer bhould no longer
give a part of his crop as a compulsory
tribute to the protected monopolist ; it
meant retrenchment of tno public expenses
and political death to the advocates of ex
travagance. The speaker arraigned Harri
son ns "the completes ! embodiment ot the
errors , falsehoods and follies of the republican -
can party. "
.Judicial ; Ticket.
At the conclusion of Turplc's address the
platform , a synopsis of which wa.s sent In
these dispatches last night , was read and un
animously adopted. The greatest enthusiasm
was caused by the resolution de
claring for Cleveland , " but en
dorsing Governor Gray as the choice of In
diana should Cleveland's nomination become
impossible. The adherents of bofh tried to
outdo each other in their frantic cheers at
the mention of tholr favorite's naiua. The
plank in the platform commending labor
unions and declaring that the democratic-
party was the frlond of the laboring man was
received with cheers.
. _ Thoj'oliowlag ticket was then nominated :
Judges of the supreme court : Second district ,
J. W. Now ; Third district , James McCubo ;
Fifth district , T. E. Howard.
Judges appellate court : First district ,
Gcorgo L. Helnhardt ; Second , Frame E.
Ganu ; Third , Theodore P. Davis ; Fourth ,
O. J. Loty of Delaware , nominated on the
second ballot ; Fifth district , G. C. Uoss of
Cass county ou the third ballot.
Cimy'8 I'lrtiiro Turned to tlio Will.
At this Juncture the most amusing incident
of the day occurred. Larco sized portraits of
Gray , Cleveland and Hcndricks had bcon
suspended in n row uhovo the stngo during
the proceo'dings. Suddenly the portrait of
Gray began to swing , probaoly Impelled by a
slight draught of air , and dually turning
with the face to the wall , rested in tint po
sition. Instantly thcio was a wild yell of
applause irom tno Cleveland men , who re
garded this as an omen of the retirement of
Isauo Pusoy Gray from the presidential
race.
Frantic attempts were made by tbo Gray
men on the stugo to restore tbo plcluro to Its
original position , but it persisted steadily in
swinging uuck with the face to the wall and
each unsuccossul attempt to readjust it was
only the signal for leers of hilarity from tbo
Cleveland men and cries of ' 'They turned
his picture to the wall. " Thu Gray mon
finally desisted and the ox-governor's portrait
trait remained for nn hour with hU face to
the wall , ut.tll some thoughtful gcuiusfinally
inserted guy cords to keep it steady.
\Vhilo these wild attempts were being
mudo to preserve Ilia Gray portrait In n dig-
nilled position , another diaughtof nlrcauchi
Cleveland's portrait and it , too , began to
swing to ono side. Immediately there was
deafening jcon of dollght from the Gray
men , but their enthusiasm was short lived.
The pjrtralt only"slvung half way round ami
when it stopped , facing the ladies' gallery ,
the fuir admirers of the ex-president ap
plauded this unconscious deference to their
sex , the Cleveland men caught it up and the
Into mishap was mada the occasion for an
other enthusiastic Cleveland demonstration.
Nomination lor Goicruor.
The great interest of the day began when
the nomination of a candidate for governor
was declared in order. John G. Slianldin of
EvansvlUo , Mason J. Niblack of Vlnccumcs
and Mortimer Nye of Laporto were each
presented in nomination , with the usual
manifestations of enthusiasm , but the wild
est demonstration of the day look place when
Ulnudo Matthowa of Clinton uus presented
ns "tho farmer candidate. " Ills iollowcis ,
evidently in accordance with a preconcerted
agreement , leare.l to tholr feet on masse
when his uaino was presented , and tossing
their bats nnd handkerchiefs in tbo air gave
cheer uftcr cheer for their candidate , until
the galleries caught the infection nnd for
three minutes It leaked as though Mr , Mat
thews might bo nominated by acclamation.
This demonstration was but ono of the clover
tricks of the politicians , but It answered its
purpose , for when the roll was called Mat-
thaws forged ahead and kept advancing.
This was a great surprise to the Shanklln
pcoplo , as that gentleman by posing us tbo
Cleveland candidate had recently developed
great strength and was. generally supposed
to bo in the load.
The conclusion of the ballot showed Mat-
thowi within a few votes of the nomination ,
the result being Matthews , (118 ( ; Sbanklin ,
JJIX ) ; Nlblaclt , i ; , and Nye , 150. Immedi
ately St , Joseph county changed her twenty-
blx votes to Matthews , and when 'I'ippccanoo
followed by ( jiving her twenty-three votes
his nomination was assured , and as the band
struck ' 'Auld Lang "
up Syne" cheer nfter
cheer was given for tbu successful candi
date.

The nomination was made unanimous , and
then there were loud cries of " .Matthews ,
Matthews [ " Prolonged upplauso greeted
the appearance of Mr. Matthews , who spbko
br.elly. thanking the convention for the
honor It had conferred upon him. It was a
divine privilege to bo n democrat , ho said ,
but It was n glorious privilege to bo the
standard bearer of democracy , and whllo
their standard was In bis Keeping It should
not bo trailed In the dust ,
There were loud cries for Shunklln , and ho
llnully responded in a fcluitous speech. Ho

not bo found skulking In his tent , for that

LA GIUTIU , Venezuela ( via Galveston ,
Tox. , ) Apri\21.1 Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tut : Br.u.J The revolution grows
in strength , nil otlcla.1 announcements to the
contrary notwithstanding. The federalists ,
or msurgonls , nro only n few leagues dis
tant from Caracas. When they nro ready
for an advance upon the capital forced
marches will soon land them In Its oiilsklrU.
Owing to the alarm that has seized the au
thorities at Puerlo Cabcllo n very serious
blunder has been committed. The French
Irausatlontlo steamer Canaan , bound from
this jiort to Colon , entered the roadstead at
Puerto Cabollo on the night ot April in. She
had just dropped anchor when the harbor
fort opened lire upon nor. Fourteen shots
In nil were tired. Three of them struck
the vessel. One shot Injured the funnel
and another crashed through the state room
of the captain. The fact was , they added ,
that the commander of the fort had boon or
dered to keep the closest watch upon move
ments of vessels In the harbor to prevent tlio
landing of Uio rebels , who It was known were
only a faw leagues distant. Ilo had scon the
Canada's entrance nnd concluded that rovqj
luttonists were certainly aboard , as Iho vessel -
sol came suspiciously near Id the shore be
fore anchoring.
Duly Apologised Tor.
Of course panic aboard followed. Passen
gers and crow ran about distractedly , whllo
the commander of the vessel hastened nshoro
and lodged complaint with the French consul
general. The consul promptly entered n
protest against the outrage. Ho was mot
with abject apologies. It was all a mistake ,
n grievous , but pardonable error of judgment ,
the government ofllcials declared. Whether
this explanation Is satisfactory or not to Iho
consul , I have not learned , but the oplsodo
will undoubtedly mnko tho.govornmont moro
careful in the future. The Canada was not
seriously injured , nor any of the passengora
hurt.
In my dispatch of yesterday I described the
utter repulse of the government forces near
Pollto. As I said , it was the llunl churgo
upon the Insurgents who wens under com
mand of General Mora. I have ascertained
tbo following additional details of the event
of Iho two days previous lo this encounter.
They Ila\o Maiiiilluhcro.
Another small cargo of arms nnd ammuni
tion for Curacon , that Dutch island , sovouty-
flvo miles to the north of the main coast , was
landed on the night of April 12 at Moron , a
small village , six leagues west of Puerto
Cabcllo. This cargo Is said to have
Jucluded-D03 Mannllchor rifles , whloli were
'
Immediately.cihtrlbu'tod among Mora's men.
Fisherman ? returning to Puerto Cabcllo.re
ported that they had noticed a rakish craft
standing out some ton miles from Moron , at
sunrise on April 13. She was Hying the
Dutch flag. On the afternoon of the sumo
day word was received from Pollto Ihnt a
party of federalists had appeared near
that town carrying now arms. These
various reporls caused great alarm among
the government leaders at Puerto Cabollo ,
as it had been supposed that Mora's follow
ers possessed only smooth bore guns , relics
of the lime of General Puoz , and n few rusty
machetes. These anna , of course , were
practically worthless oppoaod to those car
ried by Pulacio's troops. With a force
properly equipped it was realized that Mora
was u foe not lo bo despised.
* HO'H nn Olit W.ir Horse.
Mora is a volcran of the Guzman-Bianco
revolution , during which ha commanded the
Carriblans with distinguished ability. Ho is
of Indian and npgro blood , educated and tbo
owner of a rich plantation. Heretofore ho
hod been arrayed on the side of Iho national
ists , but when Pnlacio issued his recent pro
gram the old lighter declared it unconstitu
tional , and sounded tlio cry of revolution.
Ilia old soldiers Hocked In great numbers
to his standard. His ranks are largely made
up of hardy mountaineers and Iho pick of the
in en employed us coasters. Al latest ac
counts their numbers had reached 1,500.
Pnlaclo's leaders held a council of war nt
which it was stated that General Mora had
possession of the coast from Pollto station
on the Puerto Cabollo & Valencia railway
west lo Iho Lara state lino. His pickets
were two leagues west of Polito. They had
cut the telegraph lines but baa not attempted
further Interference with ibo traflla of the
lino.
I'reparlni ; lor u LIcldiiR.
It was the general boltof that Mora was
preparing to attack nnd capluro Puerto
Cabollo and the railway , and accordingly
strong government guards on tha night ot
April 13 were thrown Into the outskirts of
the town. Advanced pickets were placed on
the high road in the direction of Pollto and
Moron. Nine rusty old cannons for Iho fort
wore scraped and romouulcd , nnd ovary
available man In Puerto Cabollo was pressed
Inlo Iho government sorvlco. Even boya
18 to 15 years old were conscripted.
The national war ship Llberado , which had
boon ordered to F uccas with 100 mon to at
tempt to retake the railway terminus there ,
was recalled.
On the morning of April 14 some desultory
ilrlng occurred between tno federal If , t picket
lines and 200 nationalists In the outskirts of
Pablo. Tbo nationalists were drlvon back.
At twenty minutes past 8 m the morning on
April 14 a sharp engagement began nt Pollto.
The nationalists charged and took the town ,
The federalists foil back as fur as General
Mora's plantation , just beyond Pollto.
The nationalists followed , and having re
ceived icinforcoments of UOO mon from
Puerto uabalto , renewed Iho attack , At
noon the federalists commenced retreating as
if endeavoring to lead Paluclo's forces Into a
trap. Their plan succeeded , for Ihon fol
lowed tbo Una ! charge of the government
troops , which I fully described In yesterday's
dispatch , and which resulted In the complete
overthrow of Pulacio's forces ,
How thu .Matter Stands.
Hero is a resume of the situation ; General
Crcspo and the main body of the revolution
ists are south ot Lake Valencia. General
Aronjo with 1,100 mon , after tlireo days
lighting with tbo nationalist * ur.dor command
of Generals Castiow , Gonzalcs , Fernandez
and Mendei in thu stafa of Tuxhlra , is on his
way to Join Crospo. General Mora , with
1,500 men , holds the coast and in
land ns far east an Pollto , which
Is only a few miles from Puerto Cabollo , Ho
commands Iho coast villages of Moron and

The greatest oxcltomont exists in Valencia
for fear lhat the united forces of Crospo nnd
Manzano will attack It. The street cars nnd

police force was doublcu and mounted guards
patrolled tbo streets nil night. Up

Ho told mo thai bo did not believe the revo
lutionists would attack Valencia nt present.
The attack would not bo made for weeks , ho
thought , as Its capture was considered use
less Unless Puerto Cabollo nnd the rail

Puerto Cabollo , ho added , could have boon
attacked by forces from the state of Lara
after the arrival of ammuniUon on a steamer
