Tom Taggart to Continue as Democratic National Committeeman.

Topi Taggart, the Indiana democratic boss Wj.o lesigned as a member of the national committee following the Baltimore convention, has decided to reconsider his resignation and will continue as committeeman until after the election. The entire democratic state committee joined in a demand that Taggart continue,at his post. Taggart’s success in getting all the liquor vote and in fooling the temperance democrats into believing that his henchmen were really for the curtailing of liquor privileges, made him a leader that democratic bosses throughout the state disliked to lose. It is hardly probable, however, that democrats who were so entirely deceived fbur years ago, will permit the oily Tom to deceive them again. Probably a new committeeman who had more honor even if less sagacity, would have been vastly more ing so the better element of the* democratic party.
