Whatever may have been the origin of the

The Independent convention w. n mees at
indianapolis next Wednesday. Although
there was a great bungle about the first
call for this convention, a bungle that has
never been fully explained, the indiea-
tions now are that it will be more
largely attended than even its best
friends expected. Arrangements have been
made to hold it at the Exposition building,
on the state fair grounds. Tents nave been

the grounds. 1t is expected that persons
will begin to arrive by Tuesday morning
and that the convention will not close until
Thursday night All who want to do so
can camp out and thus save the large ex-
pense of taking rooms at the hotel.
COMING IN FORCE.
From the Terre Haute Gazette.
The farmers of Sullivan county will attend
the 10th of June Indianapolis convention,
in force. At recent meeting set Of resolu-
tions were adopted, which have the true
sound about them. They declare their oppo-
siiion to land grants to railroads, insist that
salaries given to public officers be reduced
to something like a just recompense
for the actual labor performed, as ascer-
tained by the salaries received for
similar work in business, favor free
trade. demand equal rights for the farmers,
and denounce all monopoiies. Vigo should
race for the re-adjustment of governmental
affairs. The 10th of June convention will
in all probability he the largest convention
of the state. All the signs of the times
point unmistakably to that result. Vigo
should be represented there.
CoNJBCrUREs.
From the Laporte Argus. H
The independent political convention,
which is to meet at Indianapolis on the 10th
of June, now promises to be well attended
by delegates from nearly all the counties in
the state. The action of the convention will
probably have considerable to do with the
results Of the fall elections, and candidates
who are seeking state Offices are
decidedly uneasy. There are various
copjectures about the probable action
of the convention, but we think that If the
attendance is large from all parts of the
state, and the proceedings create any degree
of fenthusiasm, full ticket will be nomi
mated, but there are some reasons for believ-
ing that an adjournment will be made after
platform is adopted, and then the conyen-
and republicans hold their conventions,
for the purpose of considering the question
of making nominations. fI aa
CARRY 1T THROUGH. 80 3a
From the Anderson Democrat.
The convention to be held by the grangers
on the 9th of June should take some steps
looking to calling convention tor the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for congress
in this (the 6th) district. If reform is to be
secured at all, it can be done
through legislation, and in no other
way. Securing the county Offices is
of small consequence as compared with The
benefits to be derived from wholesome and
economic legislation. The people are ready
and anxious to carry out to the fulles. ey
tent the movement, now begun for refoym.
and there should be no halfway work. ,
ROOM FOR ALL. '4l ''l
e - From the Indiana Granger,
IL must not be supposed by shy one that
.he farmers movement, as It's called, means
that none but farmers are t, take part in it.
The call for the reform convention origina-
ted with the farmers, it is true, but all citi-
zens who desire reform are cordially invited
to take part, be they farmers, mechanics,
etc. Every man who thinks the
