THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

Wlllard H. florris, of Clinton Coun­

ty Elpcted Chairman.

The demoi ratic convention to elect a chairman of th3 Ninth Congressional District met at Frankfort on Tuesday. The convention met in the Columbia theatre and was called to order by Chairman Will Johnson at 10:30 o'clock. John McCardle, of New Richmond, was made permanent chairman, and on taking the chdir made a splendid speech which evoked considerable applause. Bayard Gray, son of ex-Gov. Gray, was selected Secretary.,

Upon the call for nominations the names of Dell Crampton, of Delphi, W. H. Morris, of Frankfort, and \V. H. Johnston, of Crawfordsville, were presented. The first ballot resulted, John ston, 47% Morris, 45% Crampton, 23%. Crampton then withdrew and the second ballot resulted, Johnston, 56^ Morris, 60}£.

The committee on resolutions, of which Hon. J. M. Seller was chairman, presented the same resolutions that wer.j passed at the Montgomery county convention last Saturday. A resolution indorsing Samuel Ralston, of Lebanon, for Secretary of State, was also introduced and passed.

Senator Gifford, of Tipton, Hon, Mike Foley and Hon. J. M. Seller made rouBing speeches which were enthusiastically received. The convention was the largest ever held in th.i district, Montgomery county alone being represented by nearly fifty democrats.

A Hot Time In Darlington. There was a hot time in Darlington Saturday night in which a would-be public nforalizer came to grief and a time scarred "Battle Ax" was dragged in the dust of disgrace, The man in the case is a person who has caused no end of trouble in Darlington in vain attempts to regulate the morals of the town. He has frequently threatened to to prosecute young boys for swearing on the streets, kept a critical eye on his neighbor lest he might stray from the narrow path, and stopped the house clock Saturday night that it might not labor on Sunday. Yet Saturday night a howling populace numbering more than 200 9urrounded his office—a plug lawyer's den—and found him in company with a woman of very unsavory reputation. The details of the affair are wholly unfit for publication, but the good people of Darlington feel that a hypociite has been exposed, who will no longer attempt to correct other people's supposed vices.

The Executive Force.

County Chairman Henry D. Vancleave has selected th following gentlemen to compose his executive staff for the campaign of '98: J. M.

Sellers W. F.

liulet, Chas. Johnston, M. E.Foley, Joe Fossie and W. S. Richards. That, the democrats made no mistake in the selection of the county Chairman is posi tively assured. His selection of such an executive commiteeshows admirable judgment and meets with the approval of every democrat in the county. We will have an aggressive campaign, the fruits of which will be nothing but success.

At thie ancestor's death the land was away outside of the city and of little value, It is now oqe of the prinei pal parks of Philadelphia and the heirs' think a little Quaker cash wtihldn't go bad.

The Journal's Cuban Policy. Enixon

REVIEW:

The Journal last week in an editorial came to the reecue of Mr, McKinley for disregarding a certain obligation of the Republican platform upon which he was elected.

The Republican platform made at the St. Louis convention said this: "The governor of Spain having lost con^ trol of Cuba, and- being unable |to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens or to comply with its treaty obigations, we believe that the government of the United States should actually use its influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the Island."

The Democratic platform made at Chicago said this: "We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heroic struggle for liberty and independence."

The Crawfordsville Journal of last week says this: President McKinley's Cuban policy as outlined in his message seems to be thoroughly acceptable to the peopled the United States, no persons except the chronic fault finders have opened their' lips against it, and the men who six months ago were insisting on instant and extreme action cannot no be heard from."

All of which prompts us to say this: This is the way of saying that those who wrote that plank in the Republican platform, and the campaign orators who' shouted for it, and the editors who went into spasms over it, either cannot be heard from or have changed their opinione. Mr. McKinley is emphatically opposed to using "actual inflnence" either to restore peace" or "to give independence to the island," and his policy is thoroughly acceptable" because it simply extends our sympathy exactly as Mr.Cleveland did and exactly according to the Democratic platform of 1896. And thode who said six months a go and ever since the island has been struggling, that we must mind our own business—they are being heard from, and the Journal has lately come to be one of these. The truthful Journal means that blind, unreasoning sentiment has given way to the fixed law of nations and rejoices that the president is proceeding according to Reason and the democratic platform iMgfrerlihan according to the Republican platform and his own letter of accept.? knee.

We congratulate the Journal, and1 kindly

aBk,

"How did that editorial

chance to be in the Journal?" Every once in a little while a genuine sound truism of the same spirit appears and shines out in the columns of the Journal like "a good deed in a naughty world."

While the choir sings, phrase come forward.

WALLACK.

Harry Fine for Prosecutor. Harrv Fine, one of the brightest young democrats of the city, wi!l in all probability, be a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney before the democratic nominating convention. MrFine is a partner of M. E. Clodfelter a young man of commanding appearance and would no doubt make a creditable race.

Wm. Shular is doing time with Sheriff Canine in default of a ?20 (Itje Hsseesed by Mayor Stilwell Wednesday for being drunk and resisting an officer.
