We flost the democratic .icket at the head es another column today. The candidates stand well inAheir res e<tive localities and are cons sidered well qualified to perform the duties of the offices to which they asoire and have been nominated .

Chairman Martin, of the democratic date central committee issues the call for the meeting of tha democratic state convention, addressed — ‘To the Democracy of Indiana!’ Our old friend, R. J. Million, chairman of the White county democratic committee, issues the call for a democratic county con* vention, addressed to.. <: The Democratic voters of White county.” In fact, the democratic calls in th : s state are on these lines, except that of the political hybrid, whose claim to the chairmanship is held by a very slight thread, He issued a call addressed to“Democrats, and all others who expect to affiliate with them.” Rensselaer Democrat? “Bio. Clark’s account of the democratic county convention gives the democrats four an 3 the populists five of the nominees. We ‘’am t very good in “Aggers” but we can’t see how nine candidates could be nom* inated when only eight offices are to be filled.” Well, Dave, don’t stick on technicalities. Bro. Clark does not stem to unde, stand that the convention divide! the labor in sup* port of the candidates between the Sentinel and the Democrat?—The Sentinel to look after the interests of the democratic ortion of the ticket; wnile the Democrat? (successor to the Pilot) will take care of those of the populistic faith... Clark is not sha’-p Da e.
