Another instance of a wife's fidelity to a husband, though the world recognizes him as a thief.

QUEER. Tor Democratic editors to write articles denunciatory of distinguished Democrats ol unimpeachable records is queer, iura enough. The moment that Buch a droll, -whimsical article appears, the question coes round, What's the matter with the

fellow? Everyone sees at a glance that the writer is the victim of a vagary that ills foresights and his hindsights are out of position. He has probably devoted too much of his leisure in estimating his dimensions to looking in the mirror, surveying his magnificent proportions and concluding, finally, that he is a Goliath, possessing extraordinary demolish powers, proceeds to the attack of distinguished Democrats, men of national reputation and unsullied renown. Isn't that queer? The verdict is at once that the -writer's mind is laboring under some hallucination, illusion or delusion some species of self -deception, some aberration, requiring the prompt attention of an M. D. learned in mental diseases. The Rsjublican press, quick to sea the point, catch up the whimsical utterences of the Democratic (?) editor, and with fulsome eulogies of his drolleries, his hallucinations, parade them beiore their readers as the conclusions of the "most thoughtful" of Democratic editors, men who are devoted to '-Dsmocrats of integrity" and to 'sound Damocratic principles," and the Democratic editors thus complimented take it for granted th it, since Republicans Indorse their denunciation? o!

parts copper; tin and mercury are used in fcilvering lookiag-glaasea. 8ach facts show the wide range of uses to which tin is applied, and gives an idea of its great value. The value of block and sheet tin Imported into the United Statas from 1830 to 1335, both inclusive, amounts to $131,000,000. From time to time discoveries of tin in various portions of the United States

have been reported, but in no instance has It been found in paying quintities, until recently. The discoveries in the Black Hills of Dakota promise large returns for Investments. Extracts of a letter written by LordThurlow to the London Financial Chronicle are published, in which he says : "Monopolies do not last forever. Cornwall has enjoyed hers for 1,200 years; and it is only now.at last,when)tin has reached a fam ne price, and not a'day too soon, that new sources of supply have been discovered. Of course tin will fall in price ; to what extent no man can say possibly not so much as one might suppose. Population grows, requirements increase,and new uses for the metal will doubtless be found." It seems that men who are thoroughly posted in tin mining in England have been sent to Dakota, and so far in v ligations are highly favorable. Lord Taurlow further cava of the discovery: It represents the dawn of a new era that can not fail to be most unwelcome to the favored and very narrow circle that has hitherto handled the tin trade of the world. To my mind, in place of there being anything strange in this discovery.it is ama'zing it was not made before. All other metals have been discovered ou the vast North American continent under circumstances and in quantities hitherto unprecedented, and suitable to the unlimited requirements of the future citizens of the United States. Gold, silver, copper, iron and now tin, are required by the American people and have been placed by Prov

idence ready to their hands. No power on earth will make me believe that all the tin in this world has been placed on one s!de of the Atlantic. That tin was not found earlier in America is due to two circumstances: First, the American miner bas only an eye for the precious metal In prospecting; and, secondly, this tin region has only quite recently been made accessible by its exclusion from the Sioux reservation. Till quite lately the Black Hills of Dakota were a sealed book to the proepector, who could only visit them, not only with the risk, but with a certainty of reing tracked and scalped by red Indians. Now all this is changed. There is little doubt in regard to the value of the discovery, and a revolution In

favored land. And what is that remedy? Machines will multiply and population will increase. "We hear much said about education as a remedy for degradation and crime. We estimate it for all that It is worth, but after all men must find employment, and the machine is constantly tak

ing it away from men. The question recurs, What is the remedy? Some reply: Statutes laws against vagrancy, Idleness, tramping. But it is shown that every labor saving machine manufactured displaces at least 4 men some 40 men, and all the way up to 100 men. ;"Certainly," says the Commissioner to the men individually involved, "the displacement hasJbeen'Bevere indeed." Statesmen are looking for a remedy. Everywhere the machine confronts the man it fares him from work icwte him to idlecess, to beggary and to crime. But the machine has come to Etay. It will continue to d;f place men from work. Is there any other remedy than to reduce the hours of work? If so, what is the remedy? It is in order to brirg it forward. The public mind is in a condition to consider it. Indefinite postponement is not in order. There is peril in delav.

PARTY WORKERS

JOHN SHERMAN ON THE MESSAGE. Republicans who favor robbing the people by piratical taxation expected that the speech cf John Sherman would be in the nature of a bomb, and. that it would demolish the President, his message and the Democratic party. Mr. Sherman has exploded, and we conclude that the President, his message and the Democratic party are none the worse for it Indeed, if John Sherman's bomb is the most powerful missile that is to be hurled at the President's message, and at the policy of the Democratic party, subsequent proceedings need not create anxiety in Democratic ranks. That such is the case is inferred from the statement that Sherman's speech

the tin trade is one of the things of the ,fi3 the republican answer to the mes-

near future. The tin district of Dakota extends more than a hundred miles north

and south, and it is stated that over 3,000 tin lode locations have been made. The

outlook is pronounced In the highest degree'encouraging, and if the half is true,

the Importation of tin into the United Eta'ts will soon be a thing of the past.

MACHINERY

TIN. The statement is made that the world's product of tin is about 40.009 tons a year, and that the Uaited States consumes about one-half of the product. The countries producing tin in the largest quantities are Malaga, Australia and England. Peru comes next, and then Bohemia, Eoiony and Cpain. Taa product for 1335. is given as follows: Malacca, 21,009; Australia, 8,500; England, 9.000; Bohemia, CO; Soxony.100; Spain, 40, and Peru, 1,500 tons, making a total of 40,209 tons. It Is stated that as early aa 1100 years before the Christian era the Phoenicians traded with England for tin, and that it was this trade that first gave them commercial importance. What la called tin ia domestic language, la sheet iron covered with a layer of tin. Copper is also covered with tin. Britannia metal consists of equal parts of brass and tin, antimony and bismuth; pewter is four part tin and one partvlead; Qaeen's metal is nine parts tin and one part each of antimony, bismuth and lead; bell metal ts seven tj-eiht parta copper and twentytwo parts tin ; ercn metal is seventy-eight parta copper and twenty-two parts tin; tpeculau metal is one part .tim. and two.

AND OVERPRODUC

TION. Carroll D. Wright, Commi33ioner of La

bor, in his first annual report, devotes several pages to "Machinery and Over-produc

tion," and the statements made are well calculated to attract attention. Mr. Wright

starts out by saying "the rapid develop

ment and adaptation of machinery in all the activities belonging to production and transportation have brought what is com

monly called over-producti jn, so that ma

chinery and over-production are two causes so closely allied that it is quite difficult to

discuss the one without taking the other into consideration." There has existed for many years a mania for machinery, and the disease was never more active than at pres

ent, and, straDge to say, the man who invents a machine which displaces labor is

regarded a benefactor, and the more men displaced the larger is the measure of pub

lic gratitude, the theory being that ma

chinery is "labor saving," or, more prop

erly, "labor assisting."

While this mania for "labor-saving" or labor-assisting" machinery has been

rapidly developing, there has bean a cry

going up from most oi tne western ana

Sonthern States for a more rapid increase of population, and many States have had regular organizations setting forth induce

ments which demonstrate pretty conclu

sively that, it the people would only come

it would result in great blessings to them, as also to the State, and, Bure enough, the

immigrants have come, have come to

stay, so the country has enjoyed unexam

pled prosperity In the increase ot "laborsaving" or "labor-assisting" machinery and the increase of population. It will be Interesting to note how these two great blesssings, an increase of labor saving or assisting machinery and au increase of population are working together. The Commissioner of Labor devotes several pages of his report to giving facts relating to the displacement of men by machinery. For in

stance, the proprietors of an extensive establishment furnishes the figures showing what machinery accomplishes in the manufecture of agricultural inplements in the way of displacing men. The statement is that the number of hands required with machinery is C00, and without machinery

2,145 would be required. Consequently, the machinery displaced 1.545 men. The Commission refers to twenty-nine other de part :nents of industries in which the conditlva of things in some cases is much worn for labor than ia the manufacture of agricultural Implements. He cites, in the manufacture of small arms, that one man with a machine displaces from fortyfour to forty-nine men. He notes that in the manufacture of boots and ahoes 100 men with machines perform the' work of 500 men without the machine. Ia the manufacture of brooms, wagons and carriage, carpets, clothing, furniture and luml er, coal mining and paper, indeed almost every thirg, the work of displacing labor goes forward. At the same time population is increasing and ploduction is increasing. A careful analysis cf the facts will show that a man with a machine on an average is equal to five men without a machine, hence it will be seen that the machine displays four men. Bays the Commissioner: "That labor saving machinery, so-called, but which more properly should be called labor-making or labor-assisting machinery, di'ilaeet labor temporarily can not successfully be denied." If this is true, and It is absolutely true, why call it labor-saving, labor-making or labor-assisting naachicery? It is shown by the figures'supplled by the Commissioner that machinery displace? At teaat I ou mca for every one it

sage." That such was the intention need not be questioned, but the country will cot accept the speech as an answer to the message. The President, in his message , states an alarming fact that the Government is taking from the people $100,000,000 more money than it needs, withdrawing this vast amount of cash from the people's pockets and locking it up, taking it from circulation, and thereby placing the business interests of the country in peril. The President asks Congress to put a stop to this nefarious business. This is the President's position in a nut shell. In getting rid of the surplus the President makes some suggestions, but to charge him with making an attack upon American industries designed to cripple them, is triumphantly disproved by his message. Mr. Sherman declares himself in favor of free trade to the extent of over one-third of all articles Imported, but he says Mr. Cleveland is in favor of extending the free list "to every article In common use." In saying that, Mr. Sherman could not have had the fear of God nor the devil

before him. It is a clear-cut falsehood. In the matter of woolen manufacturers it is

most positively stated by those most prominently identified in the business that the President's policy would at once Bet all the woolen miils in the country at work, thereby greatly advancing the Interests of both laborers and consumers. For a severely practical man, as John Sherman is said to be, his speech abounds in buncomb of the best type of the demagogue, and simply goes for nothing. To get rid of the surplus, to stop robbing the people, taxes must be reduced. Whisky, ferment liquors, tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and snuff are luxuries, while rice, salt, sugar, clothing, blankets, etc., are necessities. Mr. Cleveland nowhere intimates free trade In manufactured articles. No attack is made upon the industries of the country; on the contrary, he suggests a policy that will vitalize them, and in the manufacture of woolen goods, give American manufacturers absolute control of the

ruarkets. The theory that the tax on the imported article does not advance the price of the domestic article, as Mr. Sherman declares, is too p uerlle to be seriously considered. If his theory is correct, why does he contend for a tax of 10 and 12 cents a pound on imported wool? If it does not advance the prica of domestio wool, why do wool growers demand it? And just here is the rub. By imposing such a tax on wool, American manufacturers have to close their mills and ssnd laborers adrift. Hence it will be seen that John Sherman is the man who is the enemy of American manufacturers and of labor. If, aa Mr. Sherman states, nine tenths ot the manufactured commodities used by American farmera, inclnding clothing, household goods, furniture, implements of husbandry, tools, etc., are as cheap in this country as they are in England, and in some instances cheaper, why does he demand for such articles a protective tax? Mr. Sherman, by such statements, plays directly into the hands of freetraders, or those who demand lower taxation, because American Industries have outgrown all necessity for such taxation. Take the speech as reported, and it strengthens the President's policy. In no one instance does Mr. Sherman weaken the arguments of the President, and if it is the best that the Republicans can do, the Democratic party need hai e no fears cf coming events.

To perpetuate its coutrol of the government, a State was divided in open violation of the Constitution; the Federal Judiciary prostituted to partUaa enC s ; the elective franchise debauched by the corrupt use of money, and a President inaugurated by fraud and perjury that had been defeated at the ballot box at the last Presidential election. The people, as often before in the history of the country, sought relief from misrule by returning again to power the old Democratic party, the party oi the people, whose birth date lies way back, nearly at tne organization of the government. And the result has shown that the people did not mistake the means of relief; the Democratic party has proven true to the trust and confidence reposed lu it. No credit Mobllier; no corrupt sales of post traderships; no whisky ring conspiracies; no land rings; no bond syndicates; no Freedman bureau frauds: no salary grabs, or other corrupt practices that 6lgnal!zed Republican administrations have characterized the administration of G rover Cleveland. Under his administration the revenues have been honestly collected ana dibbursed; the putlic debt rapidly reduced; the national credit advanced: millions of acres of public lands restored to the people; the soldiers mere liberally pensioned; the corrupt ringsbrokeu up, and the Government is rapidly being brought back to an honest and economical administration of public affairs, disproving every prediction made by the Republican party as to the direful things that would harIen if tte Democratic party should obtain control of the Gorernmeat. I do not believe there is a voter in the country that does net know and feel that the present administration has been a step in the direction of better government. And he also knows that it is safer to continue the present administration than to return to power the Republican party and take the chances of a return to the corrupt practices that characterized Republican rule. The Republican kaders in this Suite, recognizing the invulnerability of the present National Administration, and its just popularity with the people, intimate that they intend to make State politic a prominent Issue in the coming campaign. I beg to assure my Republican friends tbat it needs no Invitation from them to m ke State politics a prominent issue in thejranvass. State politics will be given a uromlueace in the campaign.whether the Republican party wishes it or riot The Indianapolis Journal, in Its Issue of November 21, 1(7, says that when the Kepubllctns went out of office in ltvs3. they left the state debt at tl,876.6C8.34,' and that the Democrats have increased the debt 11,554,000, leaving the debt now at G.4 W.'60S.S4. Yes, and as the records show, and can be seen by an examination of the Auditor of State's report, leaving out the S16.S2512 old internal Improvement bonds, the Republicans nave made I 204,783.22 of the debt, and the Democrats $1.160.000. The bonds dated March 1, lssr, for froo.000. held by the Dime SaviDgs and German Savings Banks of New York; the 8 .00,000 State House temnorarv loan, dated Mav 1 lSi. held

by tbeBowerv and Citizens' Eavlncs Banks, of

New York, and the 8tate University bond, dated October l.lfc(:5. for 8C0.000, is all of the bonded indebtedness of the State created by the Democrat. Tne registered refunding bonds, dated April 1. 1SS5, amounting to 8036,000, is part of the debt created by the Republican

legislature of 1V73, bearing 5 per cent, interest, and refunded at 3.i per cent.

The bonds issued by the Democrats bear V, per cent, interest, and were said at a premium that reduced the interest to less tban 3 pet cent. The bonds Issued bv the Republicans nearly all bear 6

per ecnt interest, and no premium was received on any of them. But suppose it be said that the S 140,000 borrowed last April to

rav the interest on the state debt ougnt not to

be charged against the Republicans. I think it ought, for the reason that if the State owed no

Interest except the small amount It pays ou

tbat portion of tho debt created by tne Demo

era ts, it would not need to borrow money for that purpose; but suppose we deduct all that has been borrowed since the present Republican State efficers came into ofhee, the J310.000 dated

The Republicans bsued In and In Ivii &VJ04.7NJ.22 non-negotiable bonds bearing 6 per rent Interest, which are still outstanding, and

upon which the State alone pays an annual

interest et 3234.26.99. The annual interest on

the debt made by the Republicans is

?2:i,7f,l,9.): on that made by the Democrats is 841,500. The entire revenue ot the State for general purposes is S , and I desire tocall especial attention to the lact tbat it takes nearly one-fourth oi the revenue to pay the annual interest on the debt made by the Republican. The most important question for the consideration of the people is, what was done with the money for hich the peesent indebtedness

was Incurred ? The people well know what was done with the money received for that portion of the debt created by the Democrats. The Democratic party can account for the expenditure by pointing with pride to the New State House", into theconstruction of which the 8500,0C0 State H oue loan went; to the three new hospitals for the Insane, located at Evansviile. Richmond and Logansport, institutions of

which any State might well be prond. costing In the aggregate nearly one million and a nail of uuilars, and to badly needed for the proper treatment and care of th- helpless and unfortunate insane now confined lu tho jails and poor-bouse , and which institutions would have been equipped for the reception of inmates had it not been lor the outrage jus dereliction of duty by the Republican House of the last General Assembly. Tne Soldiers' Orphans' Home has also been rebuilt ou a plan commensurate with tho dignity and patriotism of the State. cosUog upwards of flOo,00; fiftyfive acres of ground at Fort Wayne for the Institute for Feeble Minded has been purchased and paid for, and other improvements that might be u,ent'oned, all aggregating not much ltss than 82xj (U), wit bout increasing the taxes, und inf"rrii'g ioeetfdtiwB of less than fl.EOO.OOO, costing the Rtate less than 3 per cent . interest. That is Democratic finance ring. Now what did the Republicans do with the money they received for the loans made by them. Tbey saddled on the State a debt of nearly five million dollars, and left nothing to show for it The Democrats point to the noble institutions and improvements made by them. What can the Republicans point to? They erected no public buildings except the first Insignificant building at Knightstown, under Morton's administration, for the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, and the ungainly looking

building at the corner of Tennessee ana asningtou streets, rereutly vacated by the Stte onicers, both costing only a few thousand dol

lars, mis is ail that tne state nas received at the hands of the Republicans, as an equivolent for the debt of nearly five millions made by them, and upon which the people have to pay

neaily three hundred thousand dollars annual

interest. The Republicans roDDea tne oia sinking fund, which was the school fund, of

nearly lour million aouars, squauaerea

the money, and then, to reimburse the fund, issued negotiable bonds payable

to the state, bearing 6 per cent, interest; a very easy, unprecedented and unique way of paying eff a debt. They squandered lha money at a time when no man dared to criticise Republican rule. To do so was to be denounced

as a renei sjmpaioizer. mo peopiu teniiiLg the benefit of Republican financiering by being compelled to pay nearly three hundred thousand dollars annual interest. What has the Republican party ever done la the administration of Stale affairs that should commend it to the approval of the people? It ts Dot the author of any of the public institutions of the Stat; Us hand is not impressed upon the development of the State at any stage ot iu progress. It has saddled on the Htate debt of nearly five millions and did nothing for thebtateasan equivolent Every time it has had control it has utterly failed to accomplish anyttUg calculated to advance the prosperity and renown of the State. In 1.S81 the Republicans had the Governor and a majority in both branches of the Legislature and utterly failed to accomplish anything except to spend the people's moaey and signalize their control of the state by enacting a law allowing alien's to purchase and hold real estate, thereby making it possible for the money power and nooi ity of Europe to purchase land iu any quantity and inaugurate a system ot foreiga landlordism akin to that existing in Ireland, which law was repealed by the next Democratic Legislature. They also hal a majority in the lower house In the last General Assembly, and true to their instincts and traditions of the party, the first thing they did was to organIta a rnnsTiirapT to trv and change by fraud a

Democratic majority of two on joint Dal.ot Into a Republican majority, for the purpose of electing a Republican United States Senator, and falling to successfully carry out the conspiracy, ttiey refused to enact any legislationwhatever, In behalf of the Htate ; refused to pass the appropriation bills for carrying on the state Gotemmont, or to make provision fot equlptng the new hospitals for the insane, or for rebuildlug the Saldier' Orphans' Home, tne lnstitutiou itr the treble Minded Youtn, or for the coifTHttion of the Soldiers' Monument.

There were then cries ror smith, ana

the appearance of the brave and gallant

Senator from Jennings was the occasion for load and continued cheering. In introdu

cing Senator Smith Major Je wer: said:

I have observed that at an tne Kepubii-

can gatherings here in Indianapolis, they are parading a little short fellow by the name of Bayre a man with a head as bald as an egg, as benevolent as a foreign missionary society and aa harmless as 6ns in

don't be qniet I'll serve yon as Green

Smith did your poor father. I now present the stone-wall of the Democracy, of

the last General Assembly Hon. A. G. Sm 1th.

B1NATOR SMITH receeived with renewed out-bursts

was

of 8ppausle. He began his remarks by saying that he was known throughout Indiana as a bad Democrat. He said that upon beiDs; asked, soma time ago,

why Indiana was Democratic btate, he replied that it was because her constitution was framed and penned by Democrats; that all her benevolent institutions were luilt by Democratic Legislatures; that ter magnificent State Mouse, which is tbe most stately west of the Allegheny mountains, was arranged for and built under the supervision of Democratic Governors, and that the greatest reason of all was because we honored and revered the name of that grandest and purest of statesmen, Thomas A. Hendricks. Great applause. The speaker dwel at some length on the corruption of the l-'t-ubiican party. He told how the Presi! - cy bad been stolf n from the Democrats i 187G; how the Republicans had up '-rtaken to steal the State in 1S7S, but tde a signal failure of it, and now Dorsy came here with his new S2 bills iu lSäO, and not only corrupted the State, but stole the Presidency again, and this time from that brave and gallant Boldier, General Hancock. Senator Smith said that in 1331 the people, having become tired of such dishonorable tactics,, elected a Democratic President who had proved to be one of the ablest executives the country ever had. In 18S6 the Republicans were at thsir old tricks 8gain. By dissensions in the Democratic racks they had been able to win a partial victory, but the people declared in favor of a Democratic Legislature. The Democrats had two majority on joint ballot, bnt the Republicans proposed to re-elect Ben Harrison, whether or no, even if they had to kick the Democrats out. Mr. Smith Baid there happened to be thirty-one loyal Democratic Senators on guaard, who would Dot see an injustice done the State or the people, and, as a result, Hon. .David Turpie now occupied a seat beside Daniel W. Voorhees in the United State Senate. The Indianapolis Journal had said the United

States Senate would not recognize Green Smithism, and yet it had seated Mr.Turpie on credentials signed by him as President of the Senate, and him alone. "Fellow Democrats, let me give you a little advice," said Senator Smith in conclusion. "Never admit to any Republican, dead or alive, laughter, that yon are not his equal, for you are the best day he ever saw, and r ever fail to maintain your equality at all times and under all circumstances."

HON. CHARLES G. OFFCTT, The last speaker announced on the programme, was introduced by Major Jewett as "the handsomest Democrat in Indiana, outside of Floyd county." Laughter, Mr. Oflntt said there was a reason why thousands of Democrats bad gathered here from all parts of tbe State on such a cold and inclement day. There was an issue between the two old parties which had been fully and ably discussed by that old veteran who was ripe in experience and ripe in Democracy Ex-Senator McDonald, lie pronounced the President's message a wise and able document, and said it would form a platform that would certainly lead the Democratic hosts to victory in the approaching contest. Tbe Republicans were really without an issue, ether than sectionalism, and all patriotic citizens were tired of that Mr. Odntt had something to say of the corruption and insincerity in the Republican fiarty, and paidihis respects In unmistakable anguape to the Republicans of the last General Assembly. He concluded by urging a complete and thorough organization, and that when the campaign opened that every Democrat put his shoulder

to the wheel and push with all bis BtieDgth. Bethought if this was done tbre need be no fear as to the result Upon concluding his remarks, Mr. Oifutt read tte following resolution, which was enthusiastically and unanimously adopted : Resolved. That In Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees we recognize a faithful and able Senator, alwajs true to Democratic principles, and always lobnd at the front, maintaining and defending thpm. We heartily Indorse him in his official conduct, and assure him of our esteem aud afl'ection.and especially so since his recent speec h in advocacy of the principles set forthin the President's message. Major Jewett announced that there were two other speakers who would only occupy a few momenta Senator I. B. McDonald, the only man assaulted in the last Legislature, and Freeman Kelley, of

Del. alb County. THK CONCLUDING SPEECHES. Mr. McDonald said he wanted to say a word to the soldiers. He referred to tbe fact that the soldiers were told in the last campaign that if the Democrats were successful the veterans would all lose their pensions. This had been branded a lie, as Cleveland had been the best friend the soldier ever had in the presidential chair. He hoc-ed the Republicans would ail come out and help to re-elect him. Freeman Kellev, who is a very entertainiDg speaker, could only speak a moment, aa it was late and the audience had begun to leave the hall. He briefly but eflectivelv held up the record of the Republican party In Indiana to scorn and ridicule, and said that the managers in this State were in such a pitiable condition that he actually felt sorry for them. . . t. After giving three rousing cheers for the

Democratic party, tne meeting w clared over. FOR GOVERNOR.

friends and making new ones. When bis rumored candidacy for Governor was broached in his presence he would invariably remark that he was in the hands of his friends. He received assurances of support from many quarters and was kept busy thanking members of the party for their good wishes for his success. "You are in the race for Governor?" said the Sentinel reporter. "That Is for my friends and the party to decide," the Captcin rejoined. "I am at their services, as I have always been. A meeting such as is pending here to-day presages certain victory for the Democrats of Indiana I have never before seen the like ot it If it were the opening of the campaign, the significance would not be so great but at this time it means that the party is nnited and harmonious, and that no repetition of the disaster of lüde Will be permitted to occur." "To what do yon attribute this outburst of Democratic enthusiasm?" "Largely to Mr. Cleveland's recent message. That was undoubtedly an able and popular document Democrats like a man who has the courage of . his convictions. They look upon the President's policy as a fearless yet conservative one, and they find in nis administration much to commend and bnt little to criticise. The thinking masses have watched hia C3urse and admired it and are now ready to give It their approval. Then the possibility of again securing a representation on the National ticket in the person of Governor 'i.ay has done much to enthuse the Hoos ier Democracy. I am glad that the convention so heartily and unanimously indorsed him today for the Vice-Presidency, and I confidently look forward to hia nomination." Reference again being made to the Gjvernorshlp, Captain Myers said: "The Democracy of tbe State will, I feel assured, achieve one of the most complete victories in the history of Hooslerdom. To lead such a party at such a time is an honor to which a man may proudly aspire. Rut as Governor Gray said to-day, whether on c - off the ticket I shall labor earnestly and unceasingly for Its success."

St' ator Smith was also at the Grani. No ) an in Indiana has been more widely advi aised than "Green" Smith, and tha abi-'t that has been heaped upon him has but terved to strengthen the cordial relations existing between himself and his cartv. His courage and zeal durln the

stormy proceedings of the last General Assembly have endeared him to the Democracy, and there is none but that feels kindly and grateful toward him. The successful outcome of the Legislative deadlocck the maintenance of Democratic rights and the election ot Hon, David Turpie to the United States Senate was largely the result of President Smith's pluck in the hour of need. Some time ago Senator Smith said he would await developments before determining whether to enter the Gubernatorial contest; that if Senators Voorhees, Tnmie or McDonald sought the honor he

would not apply, but that if it was to be a free-for all fight between the younger element of the Democracy, he would be a candidate. He has not since changel his mind and is regarded as an important factor in the coming contest, "What do you think of to-day'a demonstration?" was asked. "It la the greatest I ever saw. It beats tbe crowd at the 6tate convention two years ago. As a political gathering I have not seen its equal for a long time. Tne convention of 18S6 was not a representative Damocratic body, There were too many office seekers. or dissapointed

office seekers at that time, whose personal interests for the time being were naramonnt to party interests. But you

see nothing of that kind here to-day. it's the success of tbe party that the Democrats want, and when you see them pulling together as they are doing now, there is victory in the air. Let us but maintain this spirit and all former achievements will be eclipsed." Senator Smith has supported President Cleveland earnestly and persistently throTfghout the adniinistraion, and he always insisted that at the close of the term Indianans would be found in Hue. warmly indorsing Mr. Cleveland. Other Democrats did not think so. The Senator is both a politician and a prophet. Talk for Matson was heard on all sides. His District (the Fifth) wasxtensively represented, and the fact that his constituents are so enthusiastically in favor of his nomination augurs well for him. This sentiment, however, was not confined to the counties he now represents in Congress. It was uttered by visiting Democrats from all parts ol the Commonwealth. Had Mr. Matson been on the scene be would certainly have tcored not a few points, but his interest were, nevertheless, carefully looked after.

It was not uncommon to hear Mr. Bynum's name mentioned favorably for Governor, but his recent declaration, in most positive term", that he did not want the nomination, bet waa desirous of a re-nomlnation for Cooreas, tended to bold his enthusiastic followers in check. There is no disputing th8 fact that Mr. Bynum Is recognized as one of the brainiest and most popnlar Democrats in tbe State, and If he should want anything further at his party's hands his wishes would most certainly receive due consideration. His record in Congress has been

particularly gratifying. Statesmen from the Pocket were somewhat averse to discussing the Governorship, es they have two prospective candidatesJudge Niblack and ex-Congressman Cobb either of whom would be most acceptable to the party in that section of the State, or, in fact, to the whole 8tate. Neither of the gentlemen named is a candidate in the literal meaning of the word, but in common with other distinguished Democrats, they would naturally accept such an honor, if

bestowed upon them.

O. N. Fretageot, Clerk of Posey County, said: "The Democrats of my county are in favor of Judge Niblack for Governor. Next to him, Captain Myera seems to be preferred." D. F. Lemmon, Clerk of Harrison County, and one of the prominent Democrats in his section of the State, eaid: "The voters of Harrison County are unanimous for the nomination of Captain W. R. Myers as a candidate for Governor. His record is particularly clean, and

be would give more are ana create more enthusiasm in a campaign than any other Democrat I know of. I do not peak simply for myself, bat voice the sentiment of the voters in the county where I live."

Caught In the Act. Chic ago, January 9 Max Newhouse, a clothier, having recently failed with susoiciously large liabilities and few visible assets, his 6ieter-in-law, Mrs. Auna Newhouse, and his brother's partner, Simon Glickauf, a prominent jeweler, were charged this evening by Judge Prendergast with having committed perjury in open court before him a few minutes previous. In addition they were deprived of $3,000 in cash, part preeumabley, of the assets of Majx Newhouse, which the trio were endeavoring to secrete. The creditors of Newhouse had brought action to have the assignment of Newhouse set aside as

fraudulent, and when the case came up the three witnesses were separated. Their stories agreed perfectly except in tne single miner particular ot whether it was one, two or three supposedly unimportant packages that Mrs. Newhouse this morning handed to Mr. Glickauf. Judge Prendergast had the fackages at once brought bafore him. hey were fouud to contain $3.000. The three crestfallen culprits were ordered to appear before Judge Prendergast in the morning, when he will announce what disposition sbnll be made ot the money, ard whether or not tbey should be;i mprisoned for contempt of court, and lis 11 to an 8 wer for perjury.

Talks With Candidates and Expressions of Individual Preferences. About the hotels there was naturally a good deal of discussion ot the Gubernatorial question. The prospective candidates for the nomination who were in the city, were Hon. W. R. Myers, ex-Becretary of State; Hon. A. G. Smith, who pluckily presided over the turbulent sessions of the last State Senate; Hon. Thomas R. Cobb, ex-member of Congress from the Second District, and Hon. W. E. Niblack, Judge

Do Not .Want the Wool Tariff Reduced. . Albany, N. Y., January 10 The Evening Journal publishes to-day replies from about a score of wool manufactures doing business within a radius of 100 miles of Albsny, as to the President's recommendation to put raw wool on the free list

With one exteption the replies are against the change. Almost unanimously manufacturers maintain tbat the abolition of the tariff of wool would soon be followed by a movtmeut to abolish the tarid on manufactured woolt-n goods. There i eoone diöerence of opinion as tothsqieuioa whether farmers would kill off tneir sheen in evett cf abolition of the wool tarid.
