WHAT THE PAPERS SAY OF THE
SELECTION.

SELECIlON.

ICrawfordsville Review, Dem.l
It is now the duty of the Democratic
party to elect James d. Williams governor
OF Indiana.

jeans in the national capital.
THE PLATFORM PLEAsEs.
[Logansport Star, Dem.l
1t is seldom that convention succeeds
so well in declaring the principles to guide
the par in a political campaign. The
languages is plain, and will convey no
mistaken meaning to the readers.
wILLIAMs's LIEUTENANT.
[Logansport Pharos, Dem.l
An excellant man was selected for the
second place on the ticket. Col. Gray is
well qualified, both by eduction and ex-
perience, for dischsrging the duties of the
lieutenant governorship.
THE ISSUE CLEAR AND SIMPLE.
Nashville American, Dem.l
1t shows also that there is no room for
the independent" party which nominated
Landers some months since, in the ex-
pectstion of forcing the action OF the
Democracy. This leaves the issue clear
and simple against radical usurpation and
corruption,
TRUE AND TRIED MEN.
[Brookville Democrat, Dem.l
A more acceptable ticket has never been
presented to the people of the state, and
one that will carry more strength. 1t is
made up of true and tried men, who have
pledged themselves to give their time and
talents to advancing the interests of The
party that honored them as the standard
bearers of the party.
THE KNAoK OF BEING ELECTED.
philadelphia Times, lnd.l
Williams believes in greenbacks and
plenty of them, has a knack of being
elected whenever he runs and, apparently,
not having the ill-will of any faction in
the party, stands first-rate chance of sue
cess in the critical election OF next Octo-
ber, which must have a powerful iHfu-
ence upon the presidential election in No
vember.
A GOOD TICKET AND PLATFORM.
Fort Wayne Sentinel, Dem.l
The Democratic convention nominated
good ticket and made strong platform.
In relation to the finance question, the
platform takes exactly the same position
which the Sentinel has maintained for so
long q time, and which has been denounced
as undemocrstic. 1t demands the repeal
of the resumption act, and at the same
of measures which shall bring our paper
/ currency to a mar with gold.
OUR HoME-sPUN CHAMPION.
From the Kokom Dispatch, Dem.l
In a word, he is Western man in every
thought and sensibility. He is of the Hol.
man type of Democracy-the William
Allen of Indiana, except in age. He is q
plain man in dress, speech and manners
and possesses in an usually large degree all
the elements of strength and popularity
He will carry the state like a whirlwind
Hip! Hip! Hurrah for Uncle Jimmy
Williams, the bome-spun champion ol
the peoples cause!
| OUR c1NcINNArus.
| lShelbyville Volunteer, Dem.
He fills the Jeffsrsonisn bill of true
representative, and is undoubtedly the
man around whom the Democ
rscy can rally in support to
q man. He is the Cincinnatus
from the plow who will lead the Democ.
rscy of Indiana triumphsntly through the
coming campaign, Nor is there an homes 81
grsnger in the state, be he Democrat ol
Repu blican, who can not support him
with all his will, IL he Is honest in profess
sing dissatisfaction with the nd ministrs-
ton party. Therefore, the Democratic
watchword should be, Farmer Williams
