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.
Alter Mr. jsngitehs remsrks prayer
was ottered oy iter. U. u, V. Adams. The Committee on permanent organization then re ported Hon. John K. Coffroth, of Lafayette, for Chairman of the Convention, and John R. Simpson, of Paoli, for Secretary, which report was unanimously adopted. Ex -Got. 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. The resolution in regard to the proposed amendatent to the Cooetitutiou k as follows : The Democratic pertr ia new, as it has always bean, opposed to alt rainptttary kgitlatioa, and it la especially opposed to the proposed ameddatesU la the Constitution of Indiana known at

.:u oue or tne issues between toe lie
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."
