Il HEARTY SYMPATHY IN THE OBJECT. -
l'f" Fronathe Greenfield News ~
Readers of tbe News do not need to have
rs repeat nowthat the purposes of the aboys
call have our hearty sympathy. We have
labored from the first to have the laboring
and producing classes take more active
part In political affairs, instead of allowing
political bummers and self-seeking dema-
gogues to do their thinking for them-and
10 have them select men for Office who will
represent Them, and not allow these same
demagogues to take the front seats in all the
conventions, and procure their own nomi-
nation and election by means Of partisan
machinery and the party lash. The only
question between the designers of the
Above call and ourselves Is simply
that of the means to accomp-
lish the end sought. We thought perhaps
the purpose could be accomplished within
The two old parties. and without attempting
third. We believed all that would be re-
quired to purify politics and bring about
needed reforms would be more attention to
The forming of platforms aud selection of
candidates by the people themselves at the
regular conventions of their respective par
ties. But 10 this plan the objection is raised
that the producing classes are divided be
tween the two parties by no real question o
principle, and that while their interests are
uniform, the maintenance Of the old party
lines would cause men to remain opposed
to each other whose true interests were
should be united for their common interest

There is a hilarity in the columns of the
Indianapolis Sentinel which is perhaps par
donable. 1t was the first to announce the
srsat new departure among the farmers OF
the state. 1t publishes the call for the leth
Of June meeting as piece Of news. The
Journal didn't know anything about it, aud
hinted darkley that the Sentinel, Dave Good
Ing and few more agriculturists had
cooked up the whole lhing. The SEN
tinel stoutly maintained it's ground,
and the other day its adversary formally
recognized the situation. IL, admits that
1.-The farmers convention on the 10th OF
June may be largely attended, That is
glory enough. There is to be farmers
convention, and the Sentinel is avenged.
There is indeed no room to doubt that
there will be movement Of some kind, and
II is pretty evident that it will be antagon-
istic TO the present order of things. But it is
impossibleto TO predict at this time the precise
scope ofthe action which will then be taken.
The willy ones are at fault for once. si -

1t is pretty evident that the democracy
will take ground in favor OF a license law,
but the republicans cannot 90 so without q
bolt of the Temperance element. Indeed,
Che party is in strait betwixt two. If 1t en-
dorses the Baxter law, q large part of the
German element will bolt, and ii it fails to
endorse the law the temperance element
will doubtless nominate an independent
ticket. This will have q tendency
to complicate matters. Indeed, it is not inn
probable that there may be tour tickets in
the field this year. If the grangers nominate
full ticket onthe 10th instans, and the
republicans and democrats each nominate
fnI tickets, and the temperance men do the
same, the quadrilateral fight will be interest
ing to say the least of it.. 1t will be q case
where the voter will have q better opportu-
| Bity to exercise his prerogative of depositiDg
linked ticketn than is usually accorded
rim in state election. shf su,dsom1r
- BROAD PLATFORM. 3stsl = 1t
~ $3.50 From the bonneville Enquirer.
Whatever may be the difference Of opin-
ION prevailing among them, arising of neces-
sity from their various localities and pur-
quits, they all stand upon the broad platform
of justice, honesty and reform. Justice
unto all men, rich or poor, producer
Or speculator. Honesty first above all things
else among the representative men and
office-holders, and reform in the entire
Comprehension of the word, national
state, and company If necessary. The "kev
notep of party leaders will not receive such
aIlesponse among the voters rs OF yore. The
party whip cannot control the different
,8nions, oranges, etc, as they were once able
% control refractory individuals. The press
il no longer subservient 10 the will of poll
ticians. A majority of them are found TAX
ing strong stands for q change of reform.
4f-f A PEOPLES UPRISING.
From the Mount Vernon Democrat
The SILLY and foolish attempt of the
Indianapolis Journal to discredit this HealIy
brought out Mr.. James Comstock, overseer
ofths state grange, in letter to the Senti-
mel, relating the causes that had led to the
rcall" aud he asserts that the scall,' was put
forth as the unanimous conclusion of the en-
tire body OF farmers, as represented at
their gathering In Indianapolis" That this
Is not "bogus convention" rs the Repub-
lican asserts, but q meeting of the industrial
classes OF the state, Strong in num- bers
mighty in wisdom and unity of purpose.
viii be conclusively demonstrated the 10th
day Of June next. It will be such a conven-
ton as was never before in the Hoosier
state; an uprising of the people, conscious
o. their strength and the justuess Of their
claims.
