I he democratic state convention assembled at Indianapolis on Wedneed.\. There was a large out-pouring .of the representative men of the party from all parts of the state. We publish b'.'iow the names of the candidates selected by the convention and an extract embracing the leading declarations of the platform adopted:

THE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions, through Robert C. Bell, of Ft. Wayne, chairman, submitted the platform. Bell declined to supply the press with a copy of the platform, either before or after reading it. As taken in full in shorthand by The News it is as follows:
The Democratic party in Indiana take juft pride in the strength of tho record it has made in the legislative and executive departments of this commonwealth, by the enactment and enforcement of wise and beneficent laws in the interests of the people, and in the fulfillment of its pledges.
It passed the mechanics' lien law, and the law giving laborers a lien upon the product of their labor for wages and material furnished: the law protecting labor organizations the law providing for the safety of miners and the proper ventilation of mines constituting eight hours a day's labor in public employment prohibiting the blacklisting of employes prohibiting pluck-me stores the employes' liability law forbidding the importation of Pinkerton detectives, 'And the law against the importation of alien or foreign laborers.
It enacted the school book law, saving large sums to the people, bearing down £n oppressive monopoly,- ana ^Roing the instruments of education within tho teach of the-poorest and humblest citizens. It enacted our Jaws purifying elections giving an untrammeled ballot to the voter by the Australion'system. It framed and passed our present tax law thuB adding millions of property to "tihr cjfjpjicatefe".. If passed the present fife and salary law it enacted the
Barrett improvement law which has proven a blessing wherever used. It also passed the State Board of Charities law, which has insured honest, humane and intelligent administration of our public institutions. All this has been accomplished in every instance in spite of tho determined objection and opposition of the Republican party. By this course of legislation, in fulfillment of pledges to the poople, Indiana has been placed at the forefront of all the States in the matter of this and kindred reform legislation, and we pledge ourselves to the maintenance and enforcement of these measures while the Republican party stands pledged at the tirst opportunity to destroy, either by repeal or amendment, the most important of these wise laws.
We congratulate tho people of Indiana upon the upholding of tho tax law of 1801, under which more than one hundred millions of dollars of corporate property has beon added to the tax duplicates, and we especially commend tho action of the State officers in charge in prosecuting and enforcing to a successful conclusion the provisions of that law. \ye aflirm our opposition to the vicious system of class legislation, miscalled protection, and pledge ourselves to continue tho battle against it until every species of extortion and robbery fostered by the McKinley act shall bo obliterated from our revenue system and poople enjoy all the blessings of commercial liberty. The protective system has built up the great monopoies and trusts which control absolutely eo many industries, and have done so mucb to debauch tho politics of the country and corrupt the legislative department of the Government. We denounce tar IT protection of every kind as a fraud :ind a robbery of the great majority of tho American people for tho bonofit of the few. We maintain that no tarill' taxes should be levied except for purposes of revenue only, and that puch taxes should be limited to the necessities of tho Government and honestly and economically administered.
We denounce the McKinley law. enacted bv tho Fifty-first Congress, as the culminating atrocity of class legislation.
We approve the action of the .Houseof Representatives in following the enactment of this law with the passage of separate acts: placing sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire on the free list, and wo demand that the Senate shall concur in theso righteouB moasures at tho earliest possible moment.
Wo especially indorse the income tax as a wise and equitable measure, de I signed to place a fair share of tho bur dens of the Government upon the prop-

erty of the the country for the benefit of which the expenses of the Government are so largely incurred.
We indorse the law passed by a democratic Congress authorizing tho taxation of greenbacks as other money is taxed, as a great measure of reform, and we take pride in the fact that the demand for such reform was first formulated by the Democracy of Indiana, and that it is due to the persistent and intelligent efforts of a Democratic Representative from Indiana that this reform has beon carried out.
We favor tho prompt enactment of a law by our next Legislature for the taxation of that class of money,
We also most heartily indorse the action of the Democratic Congress in repealiag the odious election law.
We are in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people. We are also in favor of constitutional and other changes as may be necessary in order that Congress may assemble as soon after its election as is practicable and to the end that the will of the people as expressed at the polls may receive prompt and full legislative expression.
We believe and declare that the policy and principles of what is called the American Protective Association are illiberal, unwise, unpatriotic, un-Demo-cratic and un-American.
In the spirit of that religiouB freedom which characterizes our constitution and Jaws, and the spirit of that wise toleration and generous statesmanship which seeks to afford to all the" rights and privileges of American citizenship, we call upon every man to do battle on this organization.
"Tarred by the Same Stick." John Fullen in a communication to the Indianapolis News, which has many good points in it. says among many things the following quoted below:
I have been studying the political situation, and especially politicians, for several years, and have come to the conclusion that they are all, or nearly all, tarred with the same stick. There may be a few exceptions, but they are like ancels' visits—few and far between. They are in bad company. I believe that they all, without exception, take a deeper interest in their own election and the drawing of their salaries when they get to Washintgon than they do in the people or the country. We hurrah and throw up our hats to elect our party favorites to Congress and the United States Senate, and when they get to Washington they lock arms and go together in the interests of others who aro better able to pay them for their votes and influence than tho poor laborer. .".All the legislation for twenty years and more has been in the interest of capital. Our Representatives in Congress about that time began knuckling to and favoring capital in a thousand ways for sake of its influence in politics until capital has become so powerful that it is now master of the situation. Politicians are its slaves as well aB the laboring classes. Thoy can no longer do as they please. Their no iv master, whom they have created, says to them, "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther"
Weaver, Sovereign, Debs and oven poor old Coxey himselt are all politicians. Thoy have no sympathy for thoir following. They deluae their following for self-aggrandizement. Their own pockets and honor are all they care for. I have listened to the political harrangues of ambitious and designing politicians for twenty years and moro, and have become heart-sich wit! such infamous treacherv. Every silver- tongued orator, as soon as he mounts the rostrum, begins to "run over" with eulogies of the laboring classcw, and especially "the horny handed farmer." One would think the farmer was just a little too good for anything. Such fellows aro found in all parties. Why not come right to the point and say. "The farmer and laborer can vote—God
tend to shed ters of sympathy for us and mourn for our misfortune. A doll could mourn as well. After twenty-five years of legislation, where are we today? On the bottom of the cospool of political corruption. The most detrimental combination of all, and one fraught with most injury to the people and their interests, is the political trust, composed of millionaires and corrupt politicians. This truut is a kind of common stock company. The people—to their shame—furnish the raw material and tho millionaires the capital, and tie country is incumbered with the finished product.
