satisfaction of the Const itutional

of the people. Of course there may be a lw fanatic, on both sides of the question at ieue, who prefer their own to Constitutional methods, but if so, even they did not make their dissatisfaction known. The Convention was celled to order promptly by lion. W. II. English, Cttsirinau of the Sute Ontral Committee, who made one of his old-time eloquent

sptH'c-hea. tie announce!, however, Uiat

he. could not serve as Chairman another term, and would not be again a candidate for any political position. He also denounced as infamously false any cbargethat the Democratic party favors intemperance. The very reverse can be shown in innumerable eases of both precept aud example. The Democrats believe true temperance will be best promoted by teaching the people to ue the ifood things of this life in moderation, without abeaing them, and by a well regulated license ayetem that will yield some revenue to the Government, aud be so reasonable and just as to regulate the traffic for the pnblic good, and so entirely in accord with the public sen

timent as to be enorced. Prohibition would encourage the ne of strong drink, because strong drink: being of small bulk

wouia oe more easily coeceaied than beer.

Hendricks, as chairman of the committee on Beeo1 a turns reported the platform, which contains a stinging arraign men t of the Republican party and its abuse of power, and sou forth the true priueiplea of Democracy and Civil Government by the people.

publican and Democratic parties, or

between the Greenback party and the

other two. The policy of the liquor

traffic In Indiana for years has been to

make its measures an issue between the two political parties, because it is their

only chance of success.

This time the temperance people have

oeeu too shrewd for them, and are bold

ing it above part izan ship," at the same

time that they are holding It in "politics.

I did not discuss the questions you

suggest, because the question of the en

forcement of a prohibitory law is the third stage from the present issue. The first stage is submission, which is the

present issue. The next is prohibition

which is now in the issue as a question

of ftubmissiou, and will be in the issue felly, as a question of prohibition, after

uio legislature baa agreed to submission

The third is the question of enforcement

which yon suggest, wbleh will be 1n the

issue squarely after we get H submission and "prohibition."
