Mr.. Editor, ISOLATION can be found for the
troubles that arise in the political manage
ment OF our city or country. III, as you
charge in your papers, bad, or improper, or
disqualified men have been placed in nom
marion by either party, fix the evil or GEN.
sure the man so that no one can doubt his
U.nfitness for office. Do this plainly, kindly,
boldly. The mass of the people desire lnlor-
nation, facts, solid reasons to guide and,d1-
rect their course by, aud when iuT-
the usual means OF importing
knowledge, of which the press stands very /
eminent, will do their duty, just IN accord
ance with the knowledge obtained, Abuse,
unkind words, blackguardisinl cannot take
the place of truth or argument. Good men
should always obey conscience, even at the
risk Of temporary political defeat, assured
that the right will triumph eventually ana Is
even worth more than success with sacr.nce
Of principle. Bad men will strive TO asso-
ciate with the good because In tnelr own
minds, however they may wrong themselves
they admire the true, brave man, VINO
ceurageously avo Ws his position and makes
! the same impregnable, because it commend .
| itself to the better nature OF eVt 10
the evil disposed. When the good Jse
control of the reins OF government 1T Is be
attributed to their lukewarnlness,i ,inc1ne renee
/ or worse still, their cowardioe, ratntIr than
4 to the boldness or ability of the bad. Hence
| it follows if men have been nominated by
either party who are unworthy, or who DO
not correctly represent the convictions and
principles of the voters, the remedy is in the
voters hands. They shoald meet and select
as near as posss BILE, a representative OF the
virtue and intelligence Uf the ward in which
they live, and cast their votes for him re-
gardless of yarty Affiliations, applying the
old time test only, "Is ihe honest, IL ne ialth-
ful. IS he capable?"
4 Now, one word personal. The writer has
a very short plank in his political platform,
but one which he thinks can and will en-
brace large majority of the voters
in America. Without any thought OF
separating from his political associates, with
whom ne has cooperated nearly twenty-five
wears, aud believing that both the republi-
can and,democratic parties have any num-
ber Of men, worthy and well qualified to I'LL
every o.fice in the nation, he will not, from
this time forth, vote for any man who uses
} Intoxicating liquors as beverage, or who
would in the least desire to annul the law OF
} God, particularly that portion which now
seems TO be specially attacked by infidehtY,
s'remember the abbath day to keep it holy
If the nominees of the party cannot stand on
, this platform, a vote, it may be the. only
one, will be cast every election, for somt
} one, who, in these important matters,
whether elected or not, will be entitled tc
} represent. JoHE w. KAY.

The feeling in the county is very well en.
bodied in the following from the Spicelsnd
Reporter of this week:
From the earliest moment that the citi-
zerls of Henry county talked Of organizing
in opposition to any and all parties, the Re-
porter has been friendly to the movement,
from the fact that we believe it 10 be the
best interests of the people to let the old par
ties and the old issues die together. The re-
publican party is struggling to live on glory
that is long since departed, and a sorry ex
istence it is making of it. The democratic
party has been willing, and even trying, to
die for some time, but each timei has drawn
near the end, some democratic "quack" has
administered a stimulant so as to keep it
breathing little longer in order that he
may reap scme pecuniary gain from
its weary existence. The resolutions on
legislation, the currency, salary grab, and
such like important matters are pertinent
andstrong, and taken altogether the 'tciti-
zens' movement" in Henry county starts
out on footing that is firm and safe, and in
every particular worthy the patronage of all
who are tired of the party lash and the in
sulting tones of the "drivers" who have
whipped and mistreated every one who
dared denounce the party's evil deeds. So
far as we are. concerned or position" is the
of any and all parties.

CALLING NAMES.


Dyed-in-the-wool democrats are trying to
console themselves by calling the new
political movement of the farmers and labor
ing men "cannard, !" and red-hot republi-
cans condole with each other in the same
way. These partisans will sing another song
after awhile. The Indianapolis Journal start
ed out with the assertion that the farmers call
for new party was bogus. 1t investigated
the matter, and finding it not bogus, but of
genuine stamp, is now growing digniied
and reticent on the subject. 1t Will soon be-
coaxing the dear farmers to come back into
the republican fold and save the country.

BAD FOR DEMAGoeUEs.
From tie Logansport Sun.

Whether the grsngers will at any future
time ignore what they now disavow. time
alone will develop. One thing is cersain-
they are creating considerable uneasiness in
the ranks of political demagogues, and they
will doubtless be the means of forcing the
political parties of the country to select their
best men for Office; and no man tainted with
corruption and fir aud, or who ia in sympathy
, With monopolies, can have scintilla of hope
in his aspirations for Office.

county are alive to the significance of the
popular call for convention, and send one
list of $50 names, comprising the best
men of the oounty--men whose names

The call to which they are attached is as fol,
lows: 'f
CALL FOR A PEOPLES STATE CONVENTION.
To the People Of the State of Indiana:
'BelieviDg the people honest and capable of
selfg0vernment, that the old political organiza-
tions corrupt, that there is no trust to be
placed in the promises of either of the so-called
great political parties, that there are no ques-
tions that ought to divide the people of Indiana
that the past dead issues should be buried with
the past, and that we should adj
dress ourselves to the living questions
of the day; we therefore invite the farmers and
Industrial classes generally of Indiana to meet
with us on Wednesday, the 10th day of June, in
the city of Indianapolis. to devise ways and
means to bring about such reforms as will eman-
cipate our state from the intoerable burdens
heaped upon by the misrule of corrupt party
politics. Come, let take counsel tOgether.''

From the Danville CniOn
The indianapolis Sentinel issued last wee k
call for Farmers Reform Convention.D -
to ne held in indianapolis on the 10th of
June, the call purpOrting TO be the work of a
meeting of the purchasing agents for the
Oranges then in session. These gentlemen
promptly repudiated the call, denounced il
as forgery, and declared they had assem-
bled for no such purpose. This effort to
trap the purchasing agent and to commit
them to policy foreign to the objects of the
order is hugh piece of brazen effrontery.

HOW THE GATES CAME AJAR.

AN ITALIAN LEGEND.
Twas whispered one morning in Heaven,
How the little child angel May,
In the shade of the great white portal,
Sat Borrowing night and day.
How she said to the stately warden
He of the key and bar
"oh. angel, sweet angel, pray you,
Let the beautiful gates ajar,
Only q little, pray you,
r Let the beautiful gates ajar.
II can hear my mother weeping
She is lonely; she cannot see
A glimmer of light in the darkness
where the gates shut after me.
Oh turn me the key, sweet angel,
The splendor will shine so farP'
But the warden answered: II dare no.
Let the beautiful gates ajarp
Spoke low and answered: 81 dare not
Let the beautiful gates ajarp
Then up rose Mary. the Blessed,
Sweet Mary, the Mother of Christ;
Her hand on the hand of the angel
z She laid, and the touch suficed.
Turned was the key in the portal,
4 Fen ringing the golden bar;
And 10 /! in the little chlld's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar
In the little chid.angers fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar
"And this key for no further using,
To my blessed son shall be given,'
Said Mary, Mother of Jesus
Tenderest heart in Heaven.
Now, never a sad.eyed mother
But may catch the glory afar;
Since safe in the Lord Christs bosom
Are the keys of the gates ajar;
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom,
And the gates forever aJarI
