On first page to-day wa give our | i aaders a synopsis of the proceed'* I ings of the Democratic State Con- J vention. Arrangements are so far com tie te i as to assure us in making the announcement that the Fourth of July will be a big day in Kenssel- ' aer. Program next week Come, 1 everybody. The Democrats of this 30th Ju-< 1 dicial Ciicuit will meet in delegate ' convention at Goodland, Ind., on 1 Friday. July 22d, 189?", at 1 o’clock p. m.*, for ths : uipose of placing in r omination a democratic can* cidate for Prosecuting Attorney to I e voted, for at the November • !ect on.

The Democratic State Convention was an ideal ore. Tomlinson Hall was full to overflowing with s aiwait democrats from all over tne State, aad the proceedings were in harmony with the character of the make-up of the convention... The ticket is admirable, and will commend itself to voters generals iy« We regard the new court house as an ornament to the city and a credit to the co iuty, and only wish tnat Democratic coinmissJouttn hal bien in po iiion to receive credit for its erecti' n. If irregular i.ies come to light we will as readily condemn as any on , but until these are unmistakeably pro duced, we will give credit where it is due.

We understand the Democrat? will soon change hands. David can now sing that beautiful song commencing with the lines; “What was 1 ever begun for, If so soon 1 was to be done for.” The political complexion of the paper will continue the same, the new manag ment having until re* cently been connected with the Remington Press, as virulent a Populist c sheet, in our judgment as was the ‘Pilot,’ deceased. Owing to the space occupied by the proceedings of the state convention, we are unable today to do more than note, that we indorse y aud accept the action of this con-i gressional die.’riit convention in the nominee, John Ross, of Tippecanoe county, His name ap<? pears on the ticket, in another col umn. The name of Dave Yeoman for joint representative, also oceu« pies its proper place 04 the ticket

Well done, Dave 1 The Demo crat? has from week to week been engaged in dishing out from the records the proceedings of the commissioners connected with the e rection ot the new court house hoping to show in the end that said commissioners have been exceedingly extravagant, if not crim-, nal, in the management of its contraction. And now comes this week the Repul I lean and Journal with a condensed but complete etatementof the r st, and the Democrat? lakes it bodily, type and all, from the Republican.

The glazed, glaring eveb alls of the editor of the Democrat? seem to be constant y confronted with some horrible “gang”, the same as when connected with his former paper the ’’Pilot”. He is the same “calamity howler” now as then, and is prompted and pressed on by the same Pharisaical politic cal Judases who controlled him th»-n. He has the audacity this . WB' k to insinuate that the TSenti* nel” has “never Glared to raise its voice against this gang because it was afraid it would ‘loose’ jronage.” All the patronage we have received has been through at** torneys. and that on account of special rates given bv us. David is engaged in ‘peanut’ o r ‘popcorn’ politics when he palms off his own productions as emenatjng from “Many Republicans.”
