INDIANA STATE SENTINEL BY THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL OC. S. E. MORSS. President. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 30. 1S92. Indiana Is for Cleveland. The action of the democratic conventions of Orange and Miami counties on Saturday, in instructing- their delegates to the state convention for Cleveland, unquestionably expresses the overwhelming eentiment of those counties, as well as of the etate at larp;e. The Sentinel has taken special pains to ascertain the drift of democratic opinion throughout Indiana cn the presidential question, and has discovered that it ia overwhelmingly for Cleveland. Certainly there are not to exceed half a dozen counties we doubt if there is "one in which, on a full democratic vote, Mr. Cleveland would not receive more ballots than all the other persons combined who have Leen named in connection with the nomination. In many counties the democrats are practically unanimous for Cleveland. Taking the state through it is an exceedingly modest estimate to say that 75 per cent, are in favor of Cleveland as against the field, and that 00 per cent, are for him s against anybody but ex-Governor Gray. This being the fact and no man who understands the existing conditions in Indiana can honestly gainsay it ex-fiov-ernor Gray certainly owes it to himself find to the party which has bo highly honored him in the paat to relieve the eituation of the embarrassment which his presidential candidacy involves. The ex-governor has no eincerer friend or well wisher than The fcENTiNEt., which is at all times ready to support him ia any honorable ambition which does not coullict with the interceU of the democratic party. Out of friendly consideration for him The Sentinel has refrained until this time from eaying, what it should have said v. eeks ago, that he id not the first choice of the Indiana democrats for president; that their first choice for president is Mr. Cleveland, because he embodies the great issue upon which the campaign must be fought and is tbe logical candidate; and that Govrnor Gray' tingle chance of securing the nomination ii as Mr. Clevelam legatee. Ho cannot go to the Chicago convention in opposition to Mr. Cleveland with the remotest possibility of securing the nomination. The present indications are that Mr. Cleveland will be nominated by acclamation and that no other name will be presented to the convention. .Certainly nothing is more certain than that the Cleyeland sentiment will dominate the convention and that if, for any reason, Mr. Cleveland not nominated his friends will namo the candidate. It is tho very bight of folly for any man who tepires to head the ticket to antagonize Ihera. (Jen. 1'almek understands this, nd so dues ex-tovernor Camtrell and Governor IJ.iies and Governor IUsell. All of them have declared emphatically for Clevela.mi. and it would have been rot only a graceful concession to the UUmiEtakable sentiment of his state, but an trf great political paucity, had Governor Gray done the same thing long ago. It is not too lato yet for him to put himself in lino with the popular movement in Indiana an 1 thus strengthen his po?ition before tho Chicago convention and the country. However, whether the governor is sagacious enough to do this or not, it ia evident that the democrats of tho etate do not propose to be misrepresented at Chicago. They will sond a delegation to tho convention which will refleei their views and will wield the influence which Indiana should of Tight have in that body. The people have taken this matter into their own hands. They aro for Cleveland for president and will recent any attempt to place tho state ia a falso position at Chicago. The Sentinel has a high personal regard for Governor (J ray. It recognizes Lis ability and hia ekillai a party leader. It would rejoice to see him nominated and elected president of the United States. It has stood ready to give his candidacy an active and vigorous support whenever turn candidacy should appear as a real, honest lactor in the presidential situation. But such it is not end cannot bo nuder existing circumstances. It serve no other purpose than to di7ide and embarra-s tho friends cf Mr. Cleveland in Indiana, who are an overwhelmir.g majority of tho party, and to encourage a movement which will, if it succeeds, entail inevitable disaster in November. The Sentinel cannot lend aid and comfort to this movement, even by indirection. It proposes to insist, from this day forward, that the real democratic opinion of the state shall be voiced in this city on April 21 and at Chicago two months later.

Tire president and his cabinet are said in be well satisfied with Lord Salibcry'ü letter, and tho war icaro id now over. Just why tho president and his cabinet are so well satisfied is not exactly clear to the lay mind, for the British premier has practically renewed his position as taken before. But if tho powers that bo are satiafiod the public probably has no cause couplaint.

ne Says Indiana la tor Cleveland-File Opinion ef III!). PnoviDENCT, It. I., March 2S. William I Bynum, congressman from Indiana, talked very freely on national matters last night. "What do you think of Cleveland's chances for the presidential nomination?" he was aked. "I think they are improving every day. I cannot express aft opinion as to whether or not he will be nominated for the condition of things is constantly changing. I can eay,; however, that he ia very strong in the West and is constantly growing stronger. Indiana's delegation to the national democratic convention will probably casta complimentary vote for Gray, provided ho does not attempt to ßwing tho delegation againet Cleveland after it is sure that lie cannot be nominated. The people of Indiana that is fully !) per cent, of them are strong for Cleveland as against an outsido man. They believe he is tho strongest man that could Lo nominated." "How about Hill?" "I thought at ono time thnt Hill's prospects for the presidential nomination were good. His methods and bin talents, however, do not seem to be directed as tho people desire end look for in a presidential candidate. I don't know as his southern trip has dene him any good or any narm, but it has probably confirmed the people in the belief that he was purnuing tho presidency with too much zeal and tfo little discretion. 1 think Cleveland can carry New York and believe he will receive the earnest eupport of the Tammany democracy in case of hia nomination. I have attended n number of meetings and never was at one where mention of Cleveland's name did not provoke greater applause than the mention of IlillV "What is the silver status now?" "Tho freo 6Ü vor people were knocked out. My judgment is that tho hill will not paes through. There will be urgent ellbrts crmdo bv thoextremo free bilver wing, represented by Speaker Crisp and Mr. lilaud, to bring the matter before the hotifa probably Monday or Tuesduy and in doing 60 I apprehend they will present a ruin which will contain a provision ordering the previous question on tho bill and ita amendments at. a specified time. Such a rule w ill be obnoxious to many democrats who are supporting the bill und its passngo will depend upon the action of the republican?. It is unquestionably a fact that many republican aro willing to do everything they can to promote the rango of the bill They are witling to do anything they can to do this, except to vote for it directly. Now the recp'jnsiVütyjfor the passage of the measures rests upon almost each and every member. What course they will pursue, I am unable to say." "Will there be any leaturcs in tho tariff argument ?" "I think not. I think tho strongest thing for us to do is to pass the wool schedule, putting wool on tho freo list. I want to set the eastern Kenators, and particularly tho6o from Rhode Island, right up on that iseue." DICKINSON ON CLEVELAND. From Expressions fi:ithred In the üast lie Is the Man to Win. Df.thoit, March 28. lx-Poft masterGeneral Dickinpon, who returned yesterday from en absence of pevcral weeks in tho Fast, was seen at his residence by n Free Vrcss representative and risked for some expression concerning the impressions of tho political situation that ho gathered while away. "I visited Now York, Washington and Boston during my absence," said Mr. Dickinson, "met a largo number of prominent politicians, and think .'bat thoy understand tho eituation pretty clearly. It is verv gonerally believed in Washington that Mr. Hill has ceased to bu even u poasibility at a prewidential candidate, and hi recent trip South ha had tho etloct of injuring his causo. His ppecrhes, whilo there, havo como far from increasing -strength in the South. Tho alarm that was felt by many southern democrats immediately after the midwinter convention in New York has been entirely dissipated, and the South is declaring itself mot heartily for Cleveland. Tin men who advocated at a certain juncture the nomination of a western man at tho head of tho democratic ticket have been led to see tho impossibility, during tho propent unsettled fitato of the currency question, of carrying Now York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Wisconsin with a possibility of carrying Massachusetts and Nv Hampshire with n western man; and th-i belief has steadily grown that tbe man who can carry those Htates is Grover (Cleveland. Grover Cleveland is today f)0,000' votes stronger in New York slate than lie ever was bofore, he enjoys the nhcnluto contidenco of tbe businecs men in both parties there, who feel that with him at the head of affairs, the country would be pah. My opin. ion is from what I learned in New" York, Washington and Bottton, and, in Boston, (iovernor Bussed told me that Cleveland was .r,000 votes stronger in Massachusetts than ho is is that Cleveland will be nominated at the Chicago convention by practical unanimity before New York is reached in the call of status. There aro reasons, too, of believing that the delegation chosen in New York at the midwinter convention will not hang together until tho date of the national convention." FOR CLEVELAND. Bleuiplilc Democrats In Favor of Ilia Nomination. Memphis, Tenn.. March 28. A Cleveland tariff reform club was organized in this city tonight, starting out wifh 150 members. Thia is but the beginning of a strong and extensive organization, which will, later on, embraco every ward in the city and every precinct in the ounty. The declaration of principles, which was unanimously adopted, includes the following: We bellet vsry m tn asking preferment at tha hands of the rarty should express freely and clearly his vi on all political or publlo questions with which he Is IIKely to deal, either as a voter or in bis executive capacity. This club advocates the selection of (irovsr Cleveland as the national standard bearer because lie has shown bis ability and honesty n the wise aud rlnti administration of the highest odioe within the sift of the American people and bat eiprrssed hia viewa on the great questions now agitating the publio mind ia a statesman-Ilka and pathptio manner that iuo wi him to bo wortajr a4

well qualified to fill the presidential ehalr a secoad term. We believe, further, that while all democrats may not severally and individually indorse Mr. Cleveland's viewa on all pnblio questions, the ereater majerity do agree with him as to thatof the tariif and think tariff re form and ad honest administration" should be the slozan of the party, and that all other questions should be laid aside until the party tenures tbe needed tarifl legislation, which ran only be brought about by a solid and undivided vote ' of the party." I'olltlcBl Notes. Polk count-, Georgia, elected Hill delegates. Newspaper men will have 274 seats at tho Minneapolis convention. The republicans in the Iowa legislature will stand by the prohibition law. The Missouri republican state convention will he held April 27 and 2S at Jefferson City. The New York senate got into atiltover a resolution to indorse the action of representatives in congress on the silver bill, the Cleveland democrats favoring and tbe Hill democrats opposing. SOLID FOR CLEYELAND.

Senator Itarrctt Reviews tho Situation in the Twelfth District. "The sentiment in the Twelfth congressional district on tho presidential question is all one way Cleveland is the unanimous choice of the democrats," said exSenator Barrett, of Fcrt Wayne, at the Bätes labt nicht. "I n Allen county I know butjthree democrats opposed to Cleveland. They aro for 1'almor or Hill. I do not think Governor Gray should ask for an instructed delegation when the democratic sentiment is overwhelmingly for Clevoland. Tho thine to do is to tend a delegation to Chicago for Cleveland. I feci certain that he will be nominated even before New York is reached. In Allen county he is a thousand voteu ptrongor than any other candidate. lie is especially 6troii2 with the German-Americans. I believe Allen county would give Cleveland o.dOl) majority, whilo I doubt whether Hill could carry tho county at all. Tho Ger-mau-Atnericans would not support Hill. "1 ata glad to see Tin: Sentim:i. in line with the people on this question. The Indiana Staat Zeitung of Port U'ayne, one of the nioht influential German dailies in tho West, came out last week equarely for Cleveland. Kx-Senator Sarnighausen, its able editor, is a man of great inllueiice in the democratic party and his paper will ba a power in tho coming campaign if Cleveland is nominated. The Port Wayne Journal, ono of the best end most ngrrossive democratic papers in northern Indiana, unfurlod tho Cleveland flag Sunday morning;. Tho Terre Hauto G'azcUe, tho only democratic paper in Vigo county, and tho Kvansvillo Courier havo been outspoken Cleveland papers for some time. The Bichmond Indrienileat and other large dailies und tho majority of the weekly papers, 1 am told, are for Cleveland against tho Held. Now comes tho only democratic paper published at tho capital. The Si.ntinix, and it, too, bows in obedience to the democratic sentiment of the state, and plants the Cleveland banner at the head of its column. "Tho democratic papers of tho six larye cities of the state oud tho majority of tho country press are committed to Cleveland, w ith HO per cent, of the democrats demanding his nomination, "As for the Tort Wayne democrats I know that nothing could suppress their feeling for Cleveland. The eastern delegates u-oing to Chicago through Indiana wiil bo greeted with 'hurahs for Cleveland' at every station. You can't suppress public sentiment. "Shanklin sounded the key-note in his ppeech last week beforo the Shields club. It required a bold man to do it, but he was the roan for the mergftney, and 1 admire him for his boldness." Mr. Barrett was the leader of the democratic eido of tho eenato iu lHSfl. He ia a man of conservative views. Ho is in a position to estimate public eentiment in ttio Twelfth district, and he does not exsggerato the Cleveland sentiment in Alien countv whon ho says that it is practically unanimous for Cleveland. Editor C. P. Lnndis of the Delphi Journal is at the Bates. He Rays that nineteen out of twenty democrat of Carroll county are for Cleveland. HORRIBLE DEATH.

THE SILVER FIGHT.

The Dill Dead, nt Ijcast for the Present Session. V.sniNOTON-, March 2S. The silver question is an issue of the pa&t so far as the house of representatives is concerned. Thedevelopmentsof today clearly indicate that the all-powerful decree of cloture wiil uot be invoked by the committee on rules to assist the free coinage people in forcing a final vote on the passngo of the bill, and without 6uch a decree all th resources of parliamentary Jaw will be powerless to reeurrect the bill from the cemetery of unfinished business to which it has now been consigned. The silver bill has been almost the only topic of discussion in the lobbies of both legislative branches of tho government today. In the house the interest was the greater, for in that body the measure now hangs in chancery with a democratic majority always able, at will, to take it from tbe calendar and force it to a final vote. In the eenato hardly less interest was felt because on the action of the houso depends entirely the question of whether a silver bill will over reach the senato for concurrence. Then, too, there are in the U, S. senate no less than seven distinguished gentlemen of tho two parties who are just now being prominently mentioned throughout the nation as possible presidential candidates, and thero is an impression abror.d that all of thes gentlemen will contemplate with fortitude any interposition of a refractory minority of the house to prevent this question ever reaching tbe U. S. senate. It was not until tho house hal met and passed to tho consideration of uninteresting routine business thut Speaker Crisp liually announced today that thrommittee on rules would not deem it proper to report a rule preventing filibustering and forcing a vote unless a majority of tho democratic members should skm a petition demanding an arbitrary procedure. Mr. Bland was quite indignant, and insisted upon a rule, but tho speaker wan obdurato and seemed to bo supported by most of his democratic colleagues. Mr. Pierce and several other gentlemen nt once began the circulation of petitions, but thus far they have not secured more than forty or fifty democratic signatures, although the work will be continued tomorrow. A TRAGIC AFFAIR. Mexican Girl' Iovcr Killed Whilo Coi:iß to Get Married. Corits Chkisti, Tex., March 2f. A tragic afTair occurred in Hidalgo county yesterday which is touching in the extreme. Two state rangers, with P. S. Coy of thirf county as guide, wero in the locality mentioned above on the outlook for horse thieves. Suddenly they came upon two Mexicans riding the eame horse and called to them to fctop, as they were officers and wanted information. "I'll die beforo you khall take me," replied the Mexican riding in front, and drawing a six-shooter lired at the rangers but v ithout eh"ect. Coy immediately returned tbe shot ane brought his man to earth. Tho ball passed through his body and produced almost instant death. The Mexican riding behind pprang from the liorso and kneeling besido the prostrate form of the dying man, raised his head and becan sobbing and begginz him not to die. Tho rangers came up and discovered that tho uninjurod Mexican was a sixteen-vear-old girl drossod in man's attire, and that the dving man was her lover. They had eloped for tho purpose of getting married. MORE DYNAMITE. Tarl Shaken Up by Another plosion Great Incitement. pAltia. March 27. At 8 o'clock this morning a dynamite explosion occurred at "A Kue Clichy, a structure of four stories with a shop in the basement, la the bouse resided M. Ilultoo, one of the proseoutiog counsel in tho recent anarchist trills. The explosion was immedately followed by frenzied shireks from tha occupants of the building, meet of whom were in bed ct tho time. The maiu stalroato was completely wrecked. A number of half-dressed women and children esoaped hurriedly by the servants' staircase. They extinguished a small fire that broke out and rescued some of the inmates. Keren persons were seriously injured. An infernal machine had apparently been deposited, at a door on the second iloor, which was occupied by M. Hulloe. Tha concierge and otners, on binz questioned, said they knew nothing about the origin of the explosion. A poorly clad man was seen hurriedly departing from tho scene, exolaimiog: "It's nothing worth fetching the firemen lor." Thia fact seems to furnish the only cine to the origin of the explosion. The whole interior of the building was wrecked, and in tbe two adjacent houses all the doors aud windows were smashed. Sinea the explosion no one but firemen and ollicials have been allowed to approach the building. Muea furniture, especially on tbe aeoond floor, was broken to fragments and the court yard was strewn with debris. Several workman en pa (red on the nw building opposite were injured by flyins: fragments of etoe and glass. Ministers Toubet Ricard visited the scene during the day. MAYOR IN PRISON.
