STATE WHIG CONVENTION.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
From the Winchester Pat

brethren Of the press throughout the state, are
discussing the proPrety OF holding o'aIe con
vention Al the Capitol, some lime during the com
ing session Of the Legislature, and we are plea
sed to see that the public sentiment, SO lar as
expressed, is almost unanimous IN favor OF me
proposition. Such measure u carried INTO ell
feet could not produce any other than happy m
fuence on the Wing party of Indiana, md those
great first principles for which they are zeaously
cootendi0g. Aud this Is the time above ali 9th
ers that the Wings of Indiana, those who gave
the first impetus to tho triumphant campaign OF
1910, should speak gu, fully and feeressiy, as IN
times past. Action, vigorous and decided actlon,
is all that is necessary 10 redeem the State IRON
the recent defeat, that was brought about by our
own careless apathy, and by reposing too secure
ly upon our certainty of success. Welded as
Indiana is. both by past associations and the pre-
sent sentiment Of a majority OF her citizens, to
the views proclaimed aud acted upon BY the wing
party, we deem it proper that her voice should be
the first that is raised 10 urge her sister States to
giro tho whole armor in the coming PresIden-
tia contest; and to assure them that she IS fifin
and steadfast in her adherence 10 the Democratic
princip Of our Gov ernmen,, and that she VIII

Of patriotism which blazed as watch fire IN the
triumphant and decisive victory.
We go then, heart and hand for the proposed
Convention, and call upon the Wings OF RI ndoph,
If it shall be concluded TO hold one second The
efforts Of our Wing brethren Ivy calling county
meeting, and appo;n, delegation to represent
them.
Several matters of importance will be presen-
ted for the consideration Of the convention. The
most important question will be the proprety Of
appointing an Electoral Ticket, pledged TO sup
port the person who may be the nominee of the
National Convention. In our opinion the ticket
should be nominated at as early day possible.
Many are discussing the proPriety OF reducing
the number Of delegates chosen to represent In
diana in the National Convention. Some are
conlendng that the present number (6D is TOO
large. and that it should be reduced 10 -, the
number Of our Ell ctoral votes. For our part, il

advocate; but we are anxious 10 have a full and

State Conrention.-The Indiana State Journal,
behalf of the Wing Central Committee, calls
upon the press 10 give opinion in regard to
the proprIety of holding a State Convention at
Indianapolis, on the 10Th of January, to form an
Electoral Ticket, pledged to the support Of the
nominees of tho Baltimore Convention fer the
Presidency aud Vice Presidency, and for the pnr-
pose OF efeciing general Organization. We
confess we are somewhat puzz'ed-whIch is not
often the case-to give decided opioion 1t is
not usual TO appoint Electors before the nomina-
lion Of the candidates; but in this instance. the
Wings in the las, Congress proper 10 fix the
day for the meeting Of Tho National c. nv en- ton
at so late a period that 1t will be impossible per
haps, TO delay their selection until after the no
mInation Of tho candidates and the Wing party
Of Indiana cannot do better, we suppose, Than 10
make the nomination OF candidates for Electors
on the same day that they were selected in the
ever memorable and glorious campaign of 1910.
II would be difficult perhaps, to get largo Con-
ven tIon to assemble in May, as The farmers are
more busily engaged than at any other period 10

seue the question.
The canvass should be commenced at an early
