PRINCIPLES UNOHR WHICH DEMOCRACY IS TO WIN ITS VICTORY.

Declaration* bv tho Indiana State Convention on Topics ot l-«ii£rossiii£ Interest to tho lVople ol 'tlie Commonwealth— All Issues Clearly Detinetl.

The Democratic irty of Indiana takes just pride in the strength of the record it lias made in thi) le rislative and executive departments of this commonwealth by the enactment and enforcement of wise and beneficent laws in the interest of the people and in tho fulfillment of its pledges, v:-

State Issue*.

v"

It passed the mechanics' lien laws and the law iriving laborers a lien upon the product ot' their labor for wages and materials furnished the law protecting labor organizations the law providing for the safety of miners and tho 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 employment and importation of Pinkerton detectives against the importation of alien or foreign labor it enacted the school book law, saving l-.rge sums to the people, breaking down an oppressive monopoly and placing the instruments of education within the reach of the poorest and humblest citizens enacted our existing laws purifying tiie elections, giving an unrramrneled bailor to the voter, and by the Australian ballot successfully preventing fraud and the intimidation of employes and others at the polls it framed and passed our present rax law, thus adding many millions of property to our tax duplicates it passed the present fee 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, almost in every instance, in spite of the determined obje lion and opposition of the Republican party. By this course of legislation, in fultillnieut of pledges to the people, Indiana has been placed at the forefront of all the stares in tho matter of this and kindred reform legislation, and wo pledge ourselves to the maintenance and enforcement of these measures, while the Republican partystands pledged, at the first opportunity, to destroy, either by repeal or amendment-, the most important of these wise laws.

The Tax Law.

We con^ratularo tho people of Indiana upon the upholding of the tax law of 1SSI1, under which more than •'100.000,000 of corporate property has been added to the tax duplicate. And we especially commend the action of the stare officers in charge in prosecuting and enforcing to a successful conclusion the provisions of said law. »Against Protection. "We reaffirm our opposition to the vicious system of class legislation, miscalled protection, and pledge ourselves to continue the battle against it until every species of extortion and robbery fostered by the McKinley act shall be obliterated from our revenue system and the people enjoy all the blessings of commercial liberty. The protective system has built up the great monopolies and trusts which control absolutely so many industries and have done so much to debauch the politics of the country and corrupt the legislative department of the government-. We denounce tariff protection of every kind as a fraud and a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We maintain that no tariff taxes should be levied except for the purposes of revenue only and that such taxes should be limited to the necessities of the government, when honestly and economically administered.

We denounce the McKinley tariff law enacted by the Fifty-first congress as the culminating atrocity of class legislation. We approve the efforts of President Cleveland and his administration and of the Democratic house of representatives and of the large majority of the Democratic senators, and particularly our distinguished senators from Indiana, Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees and Hon. David Turpie, aud our entire Democratic delegation in congress, to redeem the pledges made to the eoun'rry by the last Democratic national convention, and to execute the will of the American people as expressed so emphatically at the ballot box in November, 1S!I2. We condemn the Republican party for its persistent efforts to prevent the execution of this unmistakably popular verdict, and we especially condemn a small coterie of senators who, masquerading as Democrats, by threats to defeat all tariff legislation have temporarily prevented the Democratic party from carrying out all of its pledges to* the people for tariff reform as announced in the Democratic national platform of 1S!)2.

We congratulate the Democratic party and the country upon file fact thar, notwithstanding the open opposition of the Republican party and the conduct- of a few pretended Democrats, a substantial measure of reform has been enacted that many important raw materials of our industries hav- been placed on the free list that material reduction has been made in the duties on iron ore and coal and that the tariff tax on nearly all classes of manufactured goods, including woolens, and on the necessities of daily life has been very largely reduced.

Taxing GreonbackH.

We indorse the law passed by a Democratic congress authorizing the 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 ef­

forts of a Democratic representative from Indiann that this reform has been embodied into. law. 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 repealing the odious election law.

Election of Senators.

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 such constitutional and other

4-hanges

as

may be necessary in order that congress may assemble as soon after its election as practicable, and to the end that the will of the people, as expressed at the polls, may receive prompt and full legislative expression.

A. 1'. A. Denounced.

We believe and declare that the policy and principles of what is called the American Protective association are illiberal, unwise, unpatriotic, undemocratic and uname.rican. In tho spirit of that religious freedom which characterizes our constitutions and laws, and the spirit of that wise toleration and generous statesmansliip which seeks to accord to all the rights and privileges of American citizenship, we call upon every man to do battle against such an organisation. I

I/ahor.

The Democratic parry of Indiana is, as it always has been, the friend to the laboring man, of whom its member -'sip is largely composed. It is in ii- irty sympathy with every lawfulefforr t, secure for those who earn their liw Timid by their daily toil full protection in iii their rights as American citizens, to better the condition of their lives, to secure for tiu ni full and fair compensation for their labor and to afford them every possible opportunity for moral, social and material advancement. We condemn the efforts that have been made, whether by the professed friends or the avowed enemies of oar wage workers, to identify their cause with the infamous conspiracies of lawlessness and anarchy which threatens the very foundations of social order and civilization. We are opposed to very manifestation of violence and mob spirit-and stand squarely for the maintenance of law and order upon all occasions and under all circumstances.

Immigration.

We favor the i-naetinent and enforcement of such laws regulating immigration from other countries ius shall exclude the pauper and vicious classes, who are unfitted ro ln-come American citizens and whose presence in this country will furnish a standing menace to the order and prosperity of our land.

The Republican Panic.

We denounce the unprincipled and cowardly effort of the Republican party to escape the responsibility for the existing depressed condition of the business affairs of the country. This condition is the natural, logical and inevitable result of the infamously corrupt system of taxation known as McKinleyism, combined with vicious financial legislation and the profiigated extravagance of the Republican, parry.

Arbitration.

We favor the establishment of a tribunal of arbitration in which there may be secured a peaceful settlement- of all disputes between employers and employes.

Sumptuary Laws.

The Democratic party is. as it ever has been, opposed to all sumptuary laws as contrary to the principles of free government. and favor the largest individual liberty of the citizens consonant with good government.

The Silver Question.

We indorse the repeal of the purchasing clause of that cowardly Republican makeshift, known as the Sherman silver act of 1WI0. We reaffirm our belief that both gold and silver should be used as the standard money of the country, and that both should be coined without discriminating against either metal, and without charge for mintage. We believe it absolutely necessary to the welfare and prosperity of the great producing masses that silver should be restored to the place it occupied iu the currency systems of the world a quarter of a century ago. and we hail with delight the many signs of a revolution in public opinion in the groat commercial nations in favor of a restoration of the bimetallic system, We pledge our hearty efforts to secure the adoption of every measure for the I complete restoration of silver to its proper place in our monetary system, either through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall inI sure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in payment of debt, and we demand that all paper currency shall lie kept at par and redeemable in such coin. llaivaii.

We declare that the present national administration has acted wisely and honorably in permitting the people of Hawaii, unawed by our naval or military forces, to manage their own domestic concerns and to place their country in the family of republics.

Cleveland anil Matthews.

We heartily indorse the able, fearless and patriotic administration of Orover Cleveland, and especially his course in maintaining law and order.

1

We approve the action of the house of representatives in following the enactment of this law with the passage of separate acts placing sugar, coal, iron ore and liar bed wire on the free list, and we demand that the senate shall concur in these righteous measures at the earliest possible moment. We especially indorse the income tax as a wise and equitable measure designed to place a fair share of the burdens of the government upon the property of the country, for the benefit of which the expenses of the government are so largely incurred.

We heartily indorse the wise and pa-

triotic administration of Governor Matthews, whose conduct as a public servant has called forth the commendation of the people of every state in the Union and placed our state in the foremost rank for good government and cordially commend the action and conduct of our several state? officers.

Concerning Pensions.

Wo remember with gratitude t'-e patriotic sorvices'of the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and recognize the fact that, after the lapse of JiO years, bv reason of the hardships, privations and exposures of army life, many are passing away and others becoming more helpless. We therefore demand that congress, in the matter of pensions, shall not only deal generously, but bountifully with these aged veterans.

We also reiterate the declaration of our convention in 1892 that the state should provido by liberal appropriation for the support of a home where our disabled veterans, with their wives, may be supported without sending them to almshouses.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report,

.tlrs. AI Slcxt'iis Seriously Scalded. A peculi'uly sad. and what may prove fatal accident, befel Mrs. Al Stevens, at tho family residence four miles south of the city Monday evening. While working over tho cook stove, she fell prostrate to the floor. In her hand she held a tea kettle and its seething contents were poured out over her Her face and upper part of tlie body was scalded in a frightful manner. The skin was oUher blistered or pealed off in many places aud the unfortunate woman's sufferings must have been most excrutiating.

The sad incident is rendered all the more touching in tho fact that the suffering woman gave birth to a bright baby boy a few hours after tho happening. Thecircumstancesnow surrounding the atllicted mother are such as to enlist the strongest sympathy of all womankind and many will be the petitions sent up that sho may recover to nurture and rear her new born child.

The family has been sorely atllicted for tho past year. Mr. Stevens, who is a lumberman, has met with two serious accidents since February, one by the limb of a tree falling upon him and the other by a log rolling over him. from the latter misfortune he has yet hardly 1 recovered. The skull of their little! daughter was fractured about two months ago by being run over by a mud sled./

CDCU I ed to

State Geologist Corby Tuesday. Reuben I'Tonetield arrived at the State House that morning with a small tin box tilled with pearls. He had brought them to Indianapolis to have them examined byexperts. "I 'ound all these pearls." he said.,"in the Maumee river, near Ft. Wayne. I took them to one of our jewelers and he said that I could sell them easily in New York. No, he woulden't give me his judgment as to what they aro worth."

Besides the pearls which he had dug up Fronfield brought some curious metallic nuggets with him. These, too, came from tho river bed. Those which he exhibited had a dull yellow glitter. Others which have been found eeem to be composed of a white metal. Mr. Fronefield has collected ten pounds of these nodules. The scientific men of Ft. Wayne did not tell him what these nuggets are. Mr. Fronefield hopes that he has made a valuable discovery—Indianapolis News.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—The Knights of Pythias have a damp time of it in their camp Damp weather has been their fate, but they are having a hilarious time nevertheless. Yesterday the prize drills were in progress at the baseball grounds, attracting many spectators. Secret sessions of the Pythian sisters and the Pythias sisterhood were held.

The supreme lodge accomplished nothing but routine business. It is predicted that Vice-Supreme Chancellor Walter 1! Richie of Ohio will be elected supreme chancellor to succeed W. W. Blackwell.

The I'ythian knights assembled in the broad white lot of the executive mansion for an exhibition drill in the afternoon. After an hour of drill the knights were reviewed by Major-'! General Carnahan and his staff and: marched back to camp. After dark Pennsylvania avenue was brightly. Illuminated its whole length, the dome of the capitol and the statue of liberty surmounting it being hung with electric lights. A trades procession was witnessed by most of the city population.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Secretary Gresham does not doubt the accuracy of the dispatches that the Rluelields prisoners have been banished without trial.
