The members were chosen not in the Interest of various candidates or for the gratification of personal ambitions or individual likes or dislike?, but because the Representatives of democracy felt that these were the men best fitted for the trork before the committee. That work the organization of the party throughout the etate for the great presidential battle of next fall. All the reports indicate that the conventions were remarkably harmonious; that no sores were left to heal or acrimony fc wipe out. In fact the democracy was yesterday in dead, downright earnest It bad no time to waste in discussion of dead issues or agitation of factional disputes. It had met to choose men who would beet carry out the purposes of the democratic party and who were best fitted to eecuro lo that party success at the polls. Actuated soly by tiiU motive the conventions chose the above committee. It la one which will give satisfaction to demicrats "and iDSDire republicans with fear and respect. It is one whose selection inlures a clean, vigorous and successful campaign on the real vital issue of the times tariff reform. It is a coaimittee of men with principles and courage; men of energy and honesty : men who place party doctrine above personal preferment anil nen who will give the party eucceBS if Euccess be honorably attainable. The convention which met in the criminal court room Friday afternoon was the shortest lived and moat business-like in method that ever asseiabled within the four walls of the court house. It knew why it camn together and exactly the extent of its duty, and that duty performed it was prepared to break up, which it did With the utmost harmony and good feeling prevalent Promptly at 2 o'clock the convention was called to order by Committeeman David N. Berjr, and N. P. Grady wa3 chosen Fecretarr, the organization very quickly being made permanent The court room and the corridors were crowded, for there were present eighty-seven delegates from Marion, twenty from Madison and twelve from Hancock, while men prominent in politics in the state, county and district flanked the delegates on every tide. A resolution for a committee of five, to which all resolutions should be referred, was quickly tabled, it beim the sense of Ihe convention that that body had no business with resolutions; it had a specific fluty to perform, viz: the selection of a district committeeman, and beyond the performance of that duty it could not go. When this proDOsition had been clearly and forcibly stated by Judge Jordan the convention proceeded to its proper bu-ineaa. Thomas Taggart was nominated for committeeman by the lion. John L. Fohme of Madison and the nomination was seconded in brief Ipeecbea by John Coleman of Marion and Charles Oifuti of Hancock. No . other names were mentioned and the election Was made by acclamation with a whoop Which must have brought the color to the very tips of Taggart's ears as he sat (n his oliice down stairs. Mr. A. J. Iiehmeyer offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That tbia convention tender iU "kindest thanks to David N. Uerg for the valuable services ha rendered the democratic party as district committeeman in the campaign of 1SJ0 and throughout las term now just ended. This started the resolution business and Ibe following by Austin II. Brown was adopted: Resolved. That believing adherence to principle is the foundation for aucceae, and that a resort to expediency is a acre forerunner of defeat in any conteit where the interests of the whole people are at stake, ws declare that the democratic party cannot afford to abandaa ita well Sfltablianed position demanding a general redaction of the war tan 3 which waa so ably set forth by Grover Cleveland in bis annual ie.'age of 1887, which was indorsed by the ciemocratie national Convention of 1833, reilerttei by the democracy of the country in 1890 ftndtastsined by the people in the election that Vfcsr by a vote that cannot and ought not to te m in I ken. Therefore, ia behalf of the democracy of the Fsventh congressional district of Indianas, ws demand of the Fifty -aeoond congress m comtlete and equal reform of the tari.l on i no porta, ach n will gire equal benefit I) all classes Ind special privileges to none. Then, in spite of the fact that it had been tacitly agreed that no resolutions indorsiuz candidates should be presented, Jlr. C. W. Bridges offered a resolution indoreintr Mr. Bynum for governor. Just before Mr. Kynum's departure for Washington he requested that no action be taken by his lriends in this matter, as he tad not determined tobe a candidate. In 'view of this fact, and of the understanding above referred to and of the impropriety of a contention chopen for an entirely different purpose indorsing a candidate fur ollice, the resolution was by a unaniJaous vo.o laid on the tabic. The action

of the convention had no significance, as some of Mr. Bynum's warmest friends were instrumental in it After the convention had adjourned the delegates gathered in knots in corridor and court room and discussed the outloo. All expressed themselves as sanguine of success next falL The tariff issue they said had been so made that every voter was familiar with its merits, and the campaign of education has gone on until the farmers are fully awaka to the injustice done them by the McKinley act. Chairman Berg presented Mr. Tasgart with his credentials as a member of the etate conmittee and many delegates called upon the new committeeman and tendered their congratulations THE FIRST DISTRICT.

There were three candidates for state central committeeman: John AV. Kagsdale of Johneon county, Willis Hickara of Owen county and Willis G. JsefT of I'utnam county. But two ballots were necessary in choosing Mr. Ilickam. The following resolutions were passed: The democraoy of the Fifth congressional district of Indiana, in convention assembled, standing npon the threshold of the presidential campaign of lS'J, although just beginning its organization, doea not hesitate to declare that there is a unanimous judgment here in favor of keeping the paramount issue of tariff reform to the front. It would be dangerous to temporixe on this positive principle. The battle should go on until the people are relieved of all taxea not laid for revenue only. We hereby inatruct our representative in congress, the Hon.

That the democracy of the Eighth congressional district of Indiana are unalterably in favor of the aeleotion of Indianapolis aa the most appropriate place for the holding of the next democratio national convention. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Ninth DUtrlot. Frankfort, Jan. 8. Special.T The democracy of the Ninth district met hero today. Col.

The convention of the Eleventh congressional district, which was held here today, duly celebrated Saint Jackson's day. It was called to order tat 1 :C0 o'clock by Jeromo Herif of Peru.

Be it further Resolved, That in the person of ex-Governor Isaac P.

Martin, after which the Blulfton glee club favored the meeting with songs. Samuel F. Carey of Cincinnati was then introduced and addressed the very large audience in a very interesting speech. Twelfth District. Fort Wayne, Jan. 8. At the Twelfth district congressional convention today the following preambles and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas. Believing that it will be an honor to all the people of Indiana to hare the coming democratio national convention held at the city of Indianapolis; therefore, be it Kesolved, that the democracy of:he Twelfth district in convention assembled extend to the democrats of Indianapolis their greeting and earnest wishes for sucoess in their eilorts to secure for their eity the said convention, hereby pledging to them their cordial co-operation and support; and Wherein, It ia the sense of the democracy of the Twelfth congressional district that the democratic state convention should be held in d liferent parts of the state in the future, and not exclusively in one city as in the past, and that such a change will be to the advantage and welfare of the whole party by bringing all ita members from time to time into touch with the workings of its party connections; therefore, be it Resolved, That W. W. Rockhill, the member of the atate central committee from tbia district, be, and is hereby instructed to make every honorable effort to secure the holding of the next democratio atate convention at Port Wayne. A resolution to indorse Mr, Cleveland for the next presidential race provoked considerable discussion, and it was finally modified so as to simply indorse Cleveland's administration. Thirteenth District. South Bend, Jan. 8. Special. The democratic convention of the Thirteenth congres-ional district convened here this afternoon. The Hon, Martin Kruger of Michigan City, district chairman, called tho convention to order. Mr. Samuel Parker of Plymouth and James Gattegar of Michigan City were chosen chairman and secretary respectively. On motion it waa decided that as the call embraced the selection only of a member of the state committee that the convention confine itself to that, excluding everything else, thus cutting off resolutions not germane to the matter of electing a state committeeman. A number of nominations were made for the position but all were withdrawn except that of Mr. Edward Marshall of this city, who was unanimously elected to the honor. On being called on Mr. Marshall made a graceful acceptance. lie is not unknown to the democracy of Indiana, is an untiring worker and will prove a most valuable accession to the state committee. The convention was well attended, each county sending a large delegation. Mortimer Nye cf Laporte was present Mr. Nye is a candidate for governor anJ is very popular. Hi presence was the signal for a call to address the convention, whieh he diil in his usual happy manner. The Tilden club held open house tonight, entertaining the visiting democrats. The Jefferson club banqueted this evening ia honor of Gen. Jackaon. '

TARIFF TIE ISSUE

On Which the Democracy Can Win the Fight, But It Must Stick Right to That Issue. GROVERCLEVELANDSPEAKS And Gives New York Democrats Good Advice. St. Jackson's Day Celebration in New York City. The Democratic Party Must Continue the Ilattle Until Victory Is "Won and Must Not Run Off After New Doctrines Mr. Springer Discusses the Tariff and Other Legislation of the New Congress. Is ew York, Jan. 8. The soventy-eeventh anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, which brought the war of 1812 to an end, was celebrated by the business men's democratic association tonight by a banquet at the Hoffman house. The event commemorated particularly the memory of him who won the battle "Old Hickory" Jackson and was participated in byt about one hundred and fifty distinguished democrats. In consequenceof the recendeath of his daughter, J. Edward Simmons, president of the club, was not in attendance. His place at the head of the festal board was filled by City Comptroller T. W. Myers, who presided, and on his right sat the Hon. Grover Cleveland, CoL Dan Lamont, the Hon. J. Hendrix, Governor Abbett of New Jersey and others, while on bis left were Congressman William M. Springer, the Hon. Joseph J. Little, Senator Jacob A. Cantor and others. The banquet ball was decorated in a simple way, the hangings comprising only the merican colors. The toasts were as follows: "The Day We Celebrate," responded to by ex-President Cleveland; "The Twin Cities New York and Brooklyn," by ex-Postmaster Hendrix of Brooklyn ; "The Issues of the Day," by the Hon. William Springer; "The Democrats Above the Harlem Kiver," by ex-J ud.ee AlcMahon ot Rome; "Business Men in Politics," by L. W. Pceddington of Vermont, and "The State of New York," by Jacob A. Cantor. The Club' a Purpose. When the covers were pushed back the gentleman presiding said: Formed, as was our organization in 1SS3, for no idle or ephemeral purpose, but for active and earnest service in the cause of democracy, we were enabled at our first annual banquet to celebrate a triumph which had seated in the i chair of Jackson, a suocessor who, like Jackson, was of and for the people, and who like ; him believed that principles were paramount to popularity. Cheers.) And tonight, as at 1 our former banquet, a great victory is to be celebrated, lor not only has that able and honorable business man, Roswell P. Plower, entered the line of democratic governors, but a . billion dollar congress is a memory and, thanks to an awakening of popular opinion, a democratic house of republican and democratio ' legislature today stand like a bulwrrk to de- ' fend the people's rights, to voice the people's : demands and to insure a wise and economical administration of the people's business. Applause. J Then, turning to ex-President Clevei land, Comj troller Myers referred to him ! in warm complimentary terms and prei sented him as he aroe to respond to the hrst toast of the night. Dir. Cleveland's Speech. Mr. Cleveland's name and his arisine ! were greeted with vociferous cheers, and Bonie time elapsed before the din had subsided sufficiently for his voice to be heard. When it was quiet, however, he spoke thus: Mr. President and Gentxemev No one csn question the propriety of the celebration of this day by the organization whose invitation has brouKQt us together. Its right to celebrate on this occasion results from the fact that it is an organization attached to the doctrines of true democracy, having a membership composed of business mun, who, in a disinterested way, devote themselves to honest party work, and who labor for ths growth and spread of the political principles which they profess. This anniversary has not gained its place aa a festival day in the calendar of democracy by chanoe nor through unmeaning caprice; nor is it observed by the democratio party merely because a battle was fougbt on the Btli day of January, many years ago, at New Orleans. That battle in itself had an immediate political significance, and considered solely aa a military achievement in comparison with many other battles (ought by Americans both before and ainee, it need not be regarded aa an event demanding especial commemoration. The democratic zest and enthusiasm of our celebration of the day grows out of the fact that the battle of New Orleans was won under the generalship of Andrew Jackson, bo, while the successful general in that buttle is not forpottsn touight, democrats, wherever they are assembled throughout the laud to celebrate the diy, are honoring the hero who won the battles of democracy and are commemorating the political courage and ateadiastnesa which were Lis prominent characteristics. It is well that there are occasions like this, where we may manifest the love and affection for Andrew Jackson which have a place in every democratic heart. It is needless to attempt an explanation of this love and affeotion. They . are democratio instincts. So strong is our conviction tnat Jackaon'a democracy derived its strength and vigor front the steadfast courage, th honesty of purpose and the aturdy persistency whieh characterized the man, that we willingly profess the belief that thtse same conditions are essential to ths usefulness and success of the democratio party in theso latter days. Thus, wherever party principle or policy may lead us, we have constantly before us an unquestioned example of the spirit in which our work should be undertaken. It may not be unprofitable for as at this time to recall some incidents in the career of Anj drew Jsckson and note their bearing upon the position OI our pany in ua prraem reiauuua iu the people. We may thus discover an incentive for the cultivation and preservation of that Jacksouian spirit which ought to belong to democratic etlort. When Gen. Jackson was sent with troops to proteot our border against disturbers of the peace, whose retreat was in the Spanish province of Florida, he 'notified our government that if it waa aigmfied to him that the Eossession of Florida would be desirable to ths nited Slates, it should be forthwith accomplished, lie only believed he bad the assent of his government, but in that bciief and because his word had been given, be never rested until his military occupation of the territory was complete. The democratio party has latrly deolared to the people that if it was trusted and invested with power, their burdens of taxation should be lightened, and that a better and more just distribution of benefits should be assured to them. There is no doubt concerning our commission from the people to do this work, and there ia no doubt that we have received their trust and confidence on the faith of our promises. In these circumstances there ia no siirn of Jacksoniaa determination and persistency in faltering or hesitating in the cause we have undertaken. If we accepted the trust and confidence of ths people with any other design than to respond fully to them, we have been dishonorable from las beginning. If we ao.

cepte l them in good faith, disgrace and humiliation await as if we relax our efforts before the promised end is reached. At New Orleans Oen. Jackson attacked the enemy as soon as they landed and fosght against their making the least advance. It never occurred to him that if he yielded to them a foot of grouud or gave them amoment's rest his opportunity to defeat them would be promoted. We who are proud to call ourselves Jacksonian democrats, have boldly and aggressively attacked apolitical heresy, opposed to the best interests of ths people and defended by an arrogant and unscrupulous party. The fight is still on. Who has the hardihood to sty that we can lay claim to ths least Jacksouian spirit if in the struggle we turn our backs to the enemy or lower in the least our colors? President Jackson believed the U. S. bapk was an institution dangerous to the liberties and prosperity of the people. Once convinced of this, his determination to destroy it closely followed. He early began the attack, utterly regardless of any considerations of political expediency or personal advancement except as they grew out of his faith in the people, and giving no place in his calculations for any estimate of the difficulty of the undertaking. From the time the first blow was struck until the contest ended in his complete triumph, he allowed nothing to divert him from his purpose, and permitted no ether issue to divide his energy or to be substituted for that on which he wss intent. The democratio party of today, which conjures with the name of Jackson, has also attacked a monstrous evil, intrenched behind a perversion of governmental power and guarded by ita selfish beneficiaries. On behalf of those among our people long neglected, we have insisted on tariff reform and an abandonment of

unjust favoritism. We have thus adopted an issue great enough to deserve the undivided efforts of our party, involving considerations which we profess to believe lie at the foundation of the justice and fairness of popular rule. If we are to act upon our declared belief, in the power of that Jacksonian spirit which was the inspiration of our party in the days of our great leader, we shall be steadfast to the issue we have raised until it is settled, and rightly settled. The steadfastness we need will not permit a premature and distracting search for other and perplexing questions, nor will it allow us to be tempted or driven by the euemy into new and tangled paths. We have given pledges to the people and they have trusted us. Unless we have outgrown the democratic spirit of Jackson's time, our duty is plain. Our promise was not merely to labor in the people's cause until weahouldtire of the effort or should discover a way which seeruei to promise easier end quicker party ascendency. The service we undertook was not to advise those waiting for better days that their cause was hopeless, nor under any pretext to lugest a cessation of effort. Our engagement was to labor incessantly, bravely, and stubbornly, seeing nothing and considering nothing but ultimate success. These pledges and promises should be faithfully and honestly kept. Party faithfulness is party dishonor. Nor is the sacredness of oar pledges and the party dishonor that would follow their violation, all we have to consider. We cannot trifle with our obligations to the people without exposure and disaster. We ourselves have aroused a spirit of jealous inquiry and discrimination touching political conduct, which cannot be blinded; and the people will visit with quick revenge the party which betrays then. I hope, then, I may venture to claim in this assemblage that, even if there had been but 6light encouragement for the cause we have espoused, there would still be no justification for timidity and faintheartedness. But with the success we have already achieved, amountj ing to a politic al revolution, it seems to me it would be the Light of tolly, considered purely as a question of party management, to relax in the least our determination and persistency. If we suspect anywhere ia our counsels compromising hesitation or a disposition to divert the unity of patty etlorts. let us be watchful. The least retreat bodes disaster; cowardice is often called conservatism, and an army scattered into sections invites defeat. We have preached the doctrine that honesty and sincerity should be enacted from political parties. Let us not fall under the condemnation whioli waits on shifty schemes and insiucere professions. I believe our countrymen are prepared to act on principle, and are not in a mood for political maneuvrin. They will not waste , time in studying conundrums, guessing riddles, ' or trying to interpret doubtful phrases. The ! demand a plain and simple statement of i political purposes. Abuve a:l ihinih. colitical finesse should not lead us to forget that at the end of our plans, we meet face to face at the polls the voters of the land, with bailots in their hands, demanding as a condition of their support of our party fidelity and undivided devotion to the cause in which we have enlisted them. If. inspired by the true Jacksonian spirit, we hold to the doctrine that party honesty is party duty, and party courage is party expediency, we shall win a sure and lasting success through the deserved support of a discriminating, intelligent, and thoughtful people. Px-Postmaster Hendrix of Brooklyn then responded ior the twin cities, after which amidst most generous applause the Hon. William M. Springer was presented. Springer Ilm Issues. Speaking on "The Issues of the Day" Mr. Springer eaid: I can state without any fear of successful contradiction that there is not the Helltest probability of a free coinage bill becoming a law during this congress, nor is it likely that any amendment to the existing law will be made. If any measure on this subject is paxsei it will be one which democrats north, south, east and west oan and will cordially support. It is possible that some such measure, acceptable to democrats generally, may be nrged upon and become a law during this session of congress. It is of the utmost importance that we should not permit di::erenees of opinion on the coinage question to divide or embarrass us in the presidential contest upon which we are about to enter. In reference to public eipenditures, the democratic house of representatives of this congress may be relied upon for a record of rigid economy. The speaker has placed at the head of the committee on appropriations the Hon. W. S. Ilolman of Indiana, whose name is a guarantee to the country that this will not be another billiondollar congress. It must be borne in mind that many of the extravagant appropriations of the last and preoeding republican congresses are made permanent, and cannot be repealed or reduced without the co-operation of the senate and the president. Were it not for this fact a much larger reduction would be secured by the present house of representatives. It must be borne in mind that many extravagant appropriations are made necessary by existing Jaws, and, the liability of the government having been created, congress cannot refuse to make the required appropriations. Notwithstanding these embarrassing circumstances, a reduction of between fifty and a hundred millions a year by the present house of representatives may confidently be expected aa compared with the appropriations of the previous congress. One of the issues whieh should enter largely into the campaign next fall will be the demand for ths repeal or reduction of many of the existing permanent appropriations. The most important isue, however, in the next campaign is that which relates to the methods of raising the necessary revenue for the support of ths national government. The laws upon this subject now in fores and which have been passed since the war have been passed by the republican party or at times when the republican party was in control of one or more of the law-making powers of the government. That party is wholly responsible for the existing tariff legislation. The last and perhaps the most objectiouable measure on this subject ever passed in thia country is that known as the Molvinley bill. What can the house of representatives do to repeal or modify some of the most objectionable features of ths McKinley bill? A general revision of the tan:i by this congress is utterly impossible. The senate is republican and the president is a republican. It does not follow, however, that nothing can be done on the subject of tariü" legislation. Many of the provisions of the McKinley bill are so outrageous aud oppressive as to demand immediate repeal or modification. Separate bills for this purpose should be reported to the house of representatives and passed through that body at ths earliest moment possible. These bills should have for their objeet the enlargement of the free list and the securing of cheaper raw material. The measure of roost importance is one placing wool on the free list and regaling what are known aa compensatory duties npon woolen goods. By the introduction and passage through the house of a series of bills attacking the most objeotionable parts of the McKinley bill, we may reasonably expect that some of those measures at least will receive the favor of the senate and the president, and in the event they should fail the effort made to secure their passage will call the attention of the country to the neeessity of such measures and will furnish ao issue bsfors ths people in the ensuing presidential campaign easy of oomi Drshauon.-
