Read the platform as adopted by the state convention and coinpare it with the Indiana republican platform. Fourth of July picnics will be held at Hosroer, Stenilai, Otwell and various other points in the county tomorrow. The democratic state convention was solid for l8 to 1. The platform as adopted will be found in today's paper. Last week the Democrat gave a complete account of the republican national Convention. It will be well to keep that issue as it contains the platform of that party.

Benjamin F. Shiyeleit, the democratic candidate'for governor, has something of a record as a fanner himself. He was born and reared on a farm, and secured means to attend college by teaching school in the winter and working on the farm in the summer. u Give tl«e [teople the faets on this great question df finance and there is little doubt! but that they will use the prerogative of the ballot next November to their best interests. Noise and boys play on the street witji fire-crackers has lost its convincing force. The D$moceat presents its many readers today with a full report of the state convention. Head the report carefully and especially the platform as adopted. A splendid ticket was nominated, one which will carry great strength at the polls in Novemlxtr. TpE national democratic convention occurs ati Chicago next week. It will undoubtedly be the largest Convention ever held and much interest is manifested as to who thei standard bearers will be. It is a fact that up to this time no one man has a cinch on the nomination. Boss Hanna has proclaimed that tariff shall be the issue in the coming national campaign. The voter* are of the opinion j that there can be no possible change in the j tariff L*ws for a number of years to come J and arej not thinking on that question. The i currency question is now before the people. I The Tell City News special edition of last ■ week was a beauty. It gave a historical ' and business write-up of the manufacturing interests of that flourishing river town. Tell City has quite a number of large manufacturing institutions which gives employment to hundreds of hands the year round. j ——— i n ii» PlKt county’s debt now nacbes the total ] sum of $53,601.1?. Of this amount $43,000 is in county bonds and $10,901.1? in floating county orders.. During the )«st year orders hare been floated to a great extent as the amouut above shows. Orders are Still Wing floated and will be for many years *o come. A change is needed in the managementof affairs. WfcAT does 16 to 1 mean? It might mean that there are It bankets to 1 farmer who want a maintenance of the single gold standard. It might mean that there are It* men how out of employment to 1 before the demonel nation of silver, because capitalists: can make more out of their money which has a'double value under a single standard, loaning it, and making bond investments, that they can by employing it in industrial ewterprieea. |

. :i * "u. The Ticket. The ticket placed before the people by the democratic party is veil balanced and strong in composition, and will appeal forcibly to the voters of the state. Although a young man, the Hon. Benjamin P. Shively, the candidate for governor, is favorably known to the people of the state as congressman from the old Thirteenth district. Mr. Shively was born in St. Joseph county, Indiana, March 20,1857, was brought up on a farm, and acquired the rudiments of his education in the common schools. He left the farm while a mere youth and entered the Indiana normal school at Valparaiso, and after a systematic course of study iu that institution taught school from 1875 to 1880; he then went to South Bend, where he engaged in journalism and took an active interest in politics. He was elected to congress at the age of twenty-seven to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Maj. Calkins in 1884, when he made the race for governor. After his finishing the short temxof Maj. Calkins he completed a law course at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and in the fall following his graduation was elected to a long term in congress. He was re-elected in 1888 and in 1890 and could doubtless have been elected by an even larger majority than ever before in 1892 had he not in an open letter positively declined all importunities to make the race. Since then he has'been practicing law in South Bend, and each political campaign has found him in great demand as a political speaker. As a congressman he served as a member of the house committee on banking and currency; in the Fifty-first congress was a member of the w»ys and means committee and was also a member of the committee on Indian depredation claims. He is a man of imposing physique and is outspoken in the expression of his views. He has an enviable reputation as a campaign orator and is felicitous iu his direct intercourse with the people. We predict popularity for him everywhere. The Hoq. John C. Lawler, candidate for lieutenant governor, is a uative of Ohio, and is fifty-three years of age. He made a good record as a soldier in the Thirteenth Indiana regiment, and is now one of the leading lawyers of southern Indiana. The convention wisely renominated the present judges of the appellate court by ac-j clamation, excepting of course, Judge Reinhard, who declined to be a candidate. In his place was nominated Edwin Taylor of Evansville, a son of the late Judge Napoleon B. Taylor of this city, who is well known to the bar as a lawyer of the highestnrank. Judges Ross, Lotz, Gavin and

Davis are well known to the public by their excellent work on the bench.. The Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, candidate for secretary of state, is a self-made man, and he made a good job of it. Born on a farm and employed when a young man as a coal miner, he worked his wav to an education and is now a successful lawyer. He has always taken a great interest in political work, and has been an especially wann advocate of the great reforms accomplished by the democratic party in this state. The Hon. Joseph T. Fauning is also an Ohio product and is well known through! out the state as probably the best fitted man in the state for the office of auditor. He is a skilled accountant, of very wide experience in various lines, and his two terms a%deputy auditor have made him perfectly familiar with the work of this office. The Hon. Morgau Chandler of Greenfield, candidate for treasurer, is also well known as of the '‘old ticket.” He is known all over the state as a man of financial ability and the highest integrity. The Hon. John G. McNutt, candidate for attorney-general, is known as one of the ablest young lawyers of the state, who made an excellent record as assistant United States district attorney for two terms. He is well known and popular and will make a strong canvass. The Hon. Henry Warrum, candidate for ; reporter of the supreme court, is a bright; young attorney of this city, thoroughly qualified for the position.

Prof. W. B. Sinclair, superintendent of schools of Starke county, the candidate for superintendent of public instruction, is favorably known among the educational tneu of the state. He was formerly president of the county superintendents' association and j b familiar with the school work of the The Hon. 0. H. Downey, editor of the Noble County Democrat, candidate for statistician, is a well-known newspaper man, who understands statistics in their practical sense as well as from a theoretical point of vbw.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

WaskiBgtMletter. (From ogjr regular eormpoodrot^ Washington, June 2d, 1896. The del elites to the (Thkago convention have all been chosen, and even President Cleveland now recognises that silver has won, and thiat a fre$ coinage plank in the plHtfojrn is ns near a certainty as anything not yet actually accomplished can be. There isn’t half the kicking from the antisilver democrats that might have been naturally expected There is a general disposition to snbmit'as gracefully as possible to the old democratic idea that a majority rules. But the contest for the head of the ticket is not over, as it seems that the silver democrats will be a few votes short of the two-tliirdi necessary to nominate. If that should turn out to be the case there may be quite a number of ballots before the nomination is made. Should the silver men have two-thirds it is the opinion of «orae well informed democrats that Gov. Boies of Iowa, if his friends can convince the convention that be can carry his own state, will stand an excellent chance for getting the nomination.

The work of the convention will practically begin this week when leahidg representatives of both silver ami anti-silver democrats will meet at Chicago for the purpose of conferring with their respective associates and agreeing as far as may be possible upon a program for the convention. While it is, of course, possible that these gentlemen might reach some sort of an agreement j that would prevent a fight in the convention, it is not considered probable that they will. It seeiAs impossible to avoid that fight, “Whatever the Chicago convention does; said an old time democrat, “I hope it will not repeat the Greeley fool-busiuess by going outside the party for a presidential candidate. The very same talk about the great number of republican votes that might be captured by nominating some republican like Senator Teller of Colorado, or Senator Cameron of 'Pennsylvania, was heard in “Greeley's behalf just before the meeting of the democratic national convention of 1872, and just look at the result. The Greely ticket received only 66 electoral votes out of 352, or 14 less than were cast for• Seymour and Blair, in 1863 when Virginia, Texas and Mississippi had no votes owing to their not having been reconstructed at the time. The experience of 1872 will be repeated this year, if the Chicago convention goes outside the party for a candidate. 1 am quite sure ! that all of the old shellback democrats like . myself, who will vote and work for the ticket anyway just because it is democratic, would prefer defeat under a candidate of our own to victory under a disgruntled republican. That is just the way I feel about it, and just the way 1 shall talk to my fellow delegates at the convention. 4 am with them whatever they do, but l‘d rather see them do right.** Col. Isaac Hill, better known to everybody around the house end of the Capitol, where he has been the democrat's whipper in for many years, as *‘lkehille'\ has just returned from his Ohio home. He says McKinley cannot possible carry that state.

“The people won't stand it,’’ he continued: “they have got their hearts set on an American system of finance, and nothing short of free coinage at the old ratio will suit them. Why, I drove 65 miles through the country in a buggy and met hundreds of my republican personal friends who said, ‘Ike, we are with you against the gold bugs; Wall street has run this country, and has about run it in the ground. We want a ehange, and are going to vote for the Chicago nominee and free silver. The tariff is a back number; give us the money of the constitutjon and the dollar of our daddies. That's the way they talk and as for the democrats, why, there’s no holding them down. Your Uncle Isaac is not employing metaphorical language nor yet trying to jolly you along when he says that the democrats are going to win in Ohio this year.” Mr. Walter H. Hammond, whose home is at the Indiana town named for his father who was a member of the fifty-third con-i gress, says of democratic prospects in Indiana: “A majority of the democratic voters of the state are ardent believers in free coiuage as was shown at the late state convention and a great many republicans can also be counted on the silver side. Hon. C., A. Hardin of Kentucky, says that state can be counted upon with absolute certainty to roll up a big majority | for the ticket named at Chicago, and he is equally positive that West Virginia where he has just been on business, will do the same, Bwklei’i Arnica Halve.
