Republican Platform.

We. tlie Republicans of Indiana, in delegate convention assembled, reaiiirm our faith in the .•progressive principles of the~iteiniMrcaTrpaTt}‘: We believe its poHeies, past and present, best calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of the' people. The administration of President Harrison and the Congressional legislation of that party were wise, pure apd patriotic, and we point to the contrast between the home and foreign policies of that administration ami the'present travesty on government inflicted on the whole people. We believe in the Republican doctrine of protections "and reciproelty, which furnishes a home market for the productions of our factories and our farms, and - protects the American laborer against the pauper labor of Europe. We denounce the unwise and unpatriotic action of tiie Democratic party in attempting to elimute the reciprocity principle from our tariff system, thereby closing a large foreign market to products of American farmers and depressing agricultural interests. We denounce the present attempt of a Democratic Congress to overthrow and destroy N -tlie American industrial system, a course that, with a general fear of a violent readjustment of the country's business to a free-trade basis, has increased the national debt and has plunged the country into the most disastrious business depression of its history, has closed large numbers of banks and factories throughout the country, has thrown an unprecedented number of American citizens out of employrpent, has compelled thousands of able bodied and Jindustrious men to humiliate themselves by asking for charity, and lias filled our broad land with free souphouses and food markets. We believe in currency composed of gold, silver and pager, Jreadlly convertible at a fixed standard of value, and entirely under national control, and we favor the imposition of increased duties upon the imports from all countries which oppose the coinage of silver upon a basis to he determined by an international congress for such purpose. We denounce the avowed purpose of the* Democratic party to restore tiie era of “wild-cat" money. We believe in a liberal construction of our pension laws, and we condemn tiie unjust policy of the present administration of depriving ex-soldters of their pension without a hearing— a policy in-1 tended to cast odium upon loyalty and patriot-i, ism. We believe it to he the duty of the. State, • as well as a nation, to make suitable provision for the care and maintenance of all indigent •oldlers, their wives, and widows. We. tiiere*ore, favor the establishment by the State of a ultahle soldiers’ home for tiie reception of such soldiers, their wives and widows as may be overtaken by adversity. We demand a rigid enforcement of all existing letmlgrat'on ‘laws by the national government, sod demand such further legislation as w ill proteetjsucpeople and institutions against the influx of the criminal and vicious classes We denounce the unpatriotic action of the Cleveland administration in hauling down the American flag at Hawaii, and condemn thew■uurflnt luuiuniDtlon o( DDunr displayed in tlu* effort to restore a tyrannical Queeh over a free

people who hail thrown off the yoke of despot ism. . We 9ondemn the outrageous bargain and sale of Eeddral pafroriagO l>y tiieTTevcland adniinls* tratlon In Us finbliishitig 'efforts to usurp the prerogatives of fife legislatiTP branelrof the government to force a favorite .measure,-through Congress aHff compel the confirmation ofjFresTMcutial appointments by the Senate. We condemn the reckless ami extravagant administration of the financial affairs of this state whereby the people are subjected to unjust and unnecessary burdens of -taxation, by an ' lncreaieias-1 sessinent of projierty and inereiised rate of taxation, and by: inultipiicaflou of offices to be sttnported by the taxpayers of the Slate. We believe that the.hehetplent, educational and correctional Institutions of the State should be placed under non-partisan control. We believe in sueli legislation, State and National, as will protect the lives- and limbs of employes-of rallwaysv inhies and factories. We condemn tlie policies steadily pursued by the Democratic Legislature of Indiana in so gerrymandering 'the.State-"as to deny the people a fair representation, of their views in tne State Legislature and National Congress, tints imperiling the foundations of our Institutions.

Indiana its now so strongly and safely Republican that even their' Villianous gerrymander will not save the Democrats from overwhelming defeat this fall. The city elections of last week, were the most tremendous landslide ever known in the state; and the town elections this week were off the same piece. Senator Turpie* - “Shot off his mouth” at Senator Aldrich, a few days ago, in a manner to justify his old sobriquet of “Dirty. Dave.” Turpie evidently had a Yoorheessized jag on at the time. r Isaac 11. Phares, of Benton Co. the Republican nominee for State Senator, is an able and most honorable man, whose standing in the community where he is best known, is of the highest. Aside from the fact that we believe that the Jasper county candidate ought to have been chosen by the convention we have no fault to find with Mr. Phares’s nomination. And even in that particular we attribute no unfairness to Mr, Phares, lie has been known most ! y as a teacher and a lawyer, but now he is a represent ative of that profession which labors hardest and is rewarded the least, for party success, namely the editorial. He is at present the able editor of the Fowler Republican Era, the recognized Republican organ of Renton county. He will be triumphantly elected and represent the district with faithfulness and marked ability.

An Old Evil in a New Form.

Indianapolis Journal: Many, not to say most, people seem to forget the past in their anxieties regarding the present. So they hre now saying that there never was such an omi nous- uprising as that which is known as Coxeyism. The timid are already frightened and those who laughed at it at first are now regarding the movement with seriousness. While theie has never been anything quite like Coxeyism in this country there have been demonstrations quite as serious. Tn 1878 Dennis Kearney from the sand lots of Sary Francisco visited the eastern cities preaching with vigor the heresies which Fry presents in a diluted form. It was a period of strikes, particularly of railroad strikes. Wherever Kearney appeared there were immense and enthusiastic audiences. His talk was of incendiary character and he threatened’'monopolists and the money power with violence. He demanded immense issues of greenbacks and had behind him a number of men of national reputation and popular personality. At one time it looked as if Ivearnrnobs would carry o.ut his threats. Iu several cities the militia was made ready for a call. Several states called upon the President for the assistance of federal troops. It appeared to many at one period as if Kearneyism would carry all the elections, but it gradually died out before the elections were held and was beaten pll along the line. Kearney was brought east to help the then Greenback party. Some of the same leaders are living now and are in the same continued conspiracy against the prosperity and the laws of the 1 land. . Others finding no support elsewhere have joined them. In 1878 they egged Dennis Kearney

on, they sat upon platforms while he , threatened violence to money power. They overshot the mark as they always have since. Kearneyism frightened the very people the greenback leaders expected that he would win. The paralysis of industry by Clevelandism filled-the country with idle men and brought to the front the men with unbalanced intellects who are the national promoters of calamity. Coxey is a populist as iB every leader in this foolish advance on Washington. The movement is the result of Populist teaching and heresies. The very things the leaders demand, the chief of which is an unlimited issue of fiat money, would involve the.country in a panic compared with which the present stagnation would be of no consequence. Now as in 1878, this rising of the victims of the heresies of the Populist will rebound to the injury of these leaders who seek political power by destroying the financial fabric of the nation. When Coxey ism becomes, a burden upon, half the people in the country they will have no patience with the party of Jerry ISimpson, Governors Waite and Lewellyu and their kindred.

MRS. LEASE’S WAY.

Wliat She Would Have Hone if She Had Been in Coxey’s Place. Kansas City, Mo., May 3. —Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, of Kansas, is in Kansas City today. “I am iu the hands of my dressmaker,'’ she explained. “Itis uufortunate, but we must pay attention to the customs and fashions.” “What da I think of Coxey?” she said. “This spontaneous uprising of people from every part of the country is not the work of one man, and it is not accidental. It is a resolution of a starving people.” “What would you have done had you been in Coxey’s place?’’ “What would I have doue? I should haye gone„jip those steps into the Capitotpior I never would have tried it. But I would not have'tried to go into the Capitol building until I had a force behind me that could easily overcome all the police of Washington.” The above is right in line with Mrs. Lease’s revolutionary and anarchistic in her speech here. If she had her way she would precipitate a bloody revolution and reign of,anarchy.

THOSE, SENATORIAL AND JUDICIAL CONVENTIONS.

Jasper County Gets Left All Around. t or State Senator, ISAAC H. PHARES. of Benton County. For Prosreuting Attorney. f T. C. . ASNABAL. of Newton County. The Republican conventions to nominate a candidate for State Senator for Benton, Jasper and Newton counties; and a Prosecuting Attorney for the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit, •composed of the same counties, was held at Goodland, last Tuesday. The senatorial convention was called first, and convened at 1 o’clock p. m. Win. Ade, of Kentland, was chaiiman, and T. J. McCoy, of Rensselaer., was secretary. The only candidates presented to the convention were Isaac 11. Phares, of Benton county, and Mordecai F. Chilcote, of Jasper County. There had been a number of other aspirants from Benton county, but, by agreement of all of them, that county’s senatorial delegates had held a meeting the Week previous, and by majority ballot, selected Mr. Phares as tlieir only candidate, for whom they all agreed to stand solid, to the end. There being only the two candidates before the convention, a single ballot of course, nominated. 11 was as follows, by counties. Chilcote. Phares. Ja5per............. ,13 5 Benton 22 Newton 12 4 Total 25 31 Mr. Phares having received the majority was declared the candidate. Had Jasper county voted solidly for Mr. Chilcote, as might naturally and properly have been expected, .Mr. Chilcote would have been nominated. Without any disparagement to Mr. Phares, we can say that Mr. Chilcote as one of the oldest, hardest and most unselfish workers for the party in the the three counties, is the man who ought to have been nominated. Of the five Jasper county delegates who voted against their own county, four came from Carpenter tp. The fifth has not been positively located, but it is generally believed to have been the Union tp., delegate. It was generally believed at the conventions that this defection of the Jasper county men was the lesult of a deal in the interests of Mr. Guy, the candidate for prosecuting attorney, from R.mingtOD; and, whether this belief was well founded or not, it was disastrous to Mr. Guy’s prospects, for when the judicial convention assembled it was found that the Jasper county delegates had it in for Mr. Guy, and only the four Carpenterip., men voted for him.

The 'Judicial convention. Convened directly after the adjournment of the Senatorial. The delegates, from this county at least were all different from the Senatorial delegates, except the Carpenter delegates. . R. W. Marshall, of Jasper county, was chairman and Fred Gilman, of Newton Co., was secretary. There were four candidates in the field, Jasper Guy, of Remington; John Sink, of Rose Lawn; T. C. Annabal, of Goodland; and Mr. Palmer, of Kentlaud. Six ballots were necessary to nominate, the first three being as follows: Ist 2nd 3rd Guy 14 15 9 Annabal 13 13 17 Sink 24 27 273 g Palmer 5 2 2 J. T. Brown 3 4th sth 6th Guy 4 8 0 Annabal ~>lß 21 31 Sink 27 27 21 Palmer... 2 0 4 The whole number of votes cast at each ballot was 56. Necessary to choice 29; as Mr. Annabal ha-1 rej ceived two more than a majority, he I was declared the nominee.

The Marion township Republican convention at the court house last j Saturday afternoon, was another im- j mense gathering of ardent and confident Republicans, there being over 250 present and taking part. The nomination of a candidate for Township Trustee, was the most important duty of the convention. Five good men were in the field and five ballots were necessary to make the nomination.

Those “Dissatisfied” Citizens.

The total Republic in vote was 216 this year, being about 16‘jmore than last year. The Democratic vote last year was 120, while this year the Citizen’s vote was only 63.
