A great meeting of fsrmers and independ-

THE GROWING MOVEMENT.

with which the movement inaugurated by
the farmers, looking for the establishment
OF new party, based upon honesty and gen.

Numerous letters from prominent grangers

Living entirely by the labor of others. pro-

schemes for plunder, they have felt no in

never had a wish or feeling beyond how

nothing more. The platform must present
the issue between capital and labor In no
equivocal terms, or it will be repudiated ut

stands at present. the movement should re-
ceive the encouragement of every friend of
reform and honesty in public affairs and
time will develop the position it will assume
toward the Tork.ngmen. We are glad to
see the howls OF condemnation arising from
the organic sheets which have no thought or

THE MOVEMENT FoREsEEN."
From the Logsnsport star)
The farmers have been holding meeting
at indianapolis for the past day or two. The
result of the meeting was to issue a call for
a mass convention Of the farmers and in
dustrial classes of the state, to be held at
Indianapolis June 10th, as the call says, to
devise ways and means to bring about
such reforms as will emancipate our state
from the intolersble burdens heaped upon
us by the misrule of corrupt party poll
tics" This foreshadows some trouble for
parties. We have foreseen this movement
for some time. A class complaining of evils
of the magnitude of those which the Gran
gers seek to have corrected, could not long
refrain from entering the political arena. Be
the evils complained of real imaginary,
they are such as to have banded together the
most numerous and intelligent class of our
people in a secret organization. No organiz-
alton ever grew in numbers so rapidly, saw
ing, perhaps, the old know nothing party.
It's growth in enthusiasm has kept pace with
its increase in numbers. Having such great
objects in view, is IL to be wondered at that
they should at last call a convention7
