Mahlon ID. Manson is 50 well known that
he needs no words OF commentator from
us. He has been a resident OF Indiana for
SO years, during which time he has lived in
Montgomery county. He has been life
long and faithful democrat, always found in
the thickest of political battles as well as in
the battles of his country. During the ex-
citing campaign of '76 he was chairman Of
the state central committee, and, by his
untiriDg energy, aided largely IN achieving
the proud victory that gave US J. ID. vii
hams for governor, and carried the state by
nearly 5000 majority for the democratic
presidential electors

Republicans generally concede the fact
that the democratic state ticket nominated
last Wednesday is the strongest that could
be made. The men nominated and the local
portions of the state represeD ted by them,
together with the platform adopted, make
the ticket one of the strongest ever nomin-
ated in the state.

The democratic party of Indiana met at
indianapolis and laid down a platform that
covers all the questions of the hour Repre-
sentative men from all parts of the state
came together, and marked out line of
policy, not only for party interests, but for
the best interests OF the whole people.
There is no man who has the cheek TO say
that those principles would not assusge the
distress or mitigate the alarm that is abroad
in the land. The democracy of Indiana de-
mandS that out of silver money shall be
made, that forced resumption laws shall be
repealed, and that greenbacks shall take the
place of national bank notes. These RENE
dies were unanimously demanded by the
Indiana democracy. and if the law making
power will adopt the above, fear and tremb-
ling will be driven from the business circles
confidence and prosperity will follow. The
declaration of principles will be found in
another column. and should be carefully
read by every one. They embody all of the
necessities of the people, so far as legislation
is concerned, and should unite all the ele-
ments that oppose the money power as it
invades with blighting hand the CONNER
cial interests of the country. The time has
come and the golden hours are well nigh
spent for the people to strike. and they
should not halt between two opinions, but
with a united front deal deadly blows at the
enemy. There should be no division in the
ranks of the parties OF the same sentiment,
but harmony should prevail throughout,
each one feeling it duty to help carry on
the great warfare against the common enemy
of our most sacred interests. Every demo
crat should fall into line and bear his part in
the work, and victory will ride upon our
banners in October next.

The action of the democracy of Indiana in
their convention last week ought to satisfy
every democrat and republican in the state
who demands currency reform and legisla-
ton IN favor of the masses, that the democ-
racy are the only party which can bring
about the reforms they demand. Upon the
platform adopted there ought to be united
action from all those who believe in substi
tuting greenbacls for national bank notes;
who believe in making treasury notes full
legal tender; who believe that it is the
prerogative of the government-its exclusive
power-to issue paper money as well as coin:
who believe that contraction of the currency
ought to cease, and the volume Of green
backs so increased that they will meet the
wants of the country; who believe that the
state ought to have the power to tax the
bankers greenbacks the same Jas they tax
the farmers farm; who believe in funding
our debt at home and not abroad; who be-
lieve that the rate of interest on money
should be reduced to six per cent; who be-
lieye in remonetizing the silver dollar of the
fathers, with free coinage and unlimited
legal tender capacity; who believe in the
immediate repeal of the resumption act;
who believe in economy and the reduction
of the fees of all officers; who believe in
limiting the jurisdiction of United States
courts, and, finally, who believe the federal
government should grant no more subsidies

real enthusiasm than has characterized any
convention for years. 1t was very largely
attended, every county being represented,
while there were hundreds there not dele

quite warm, but after the nomination all
settled down good naturally, and the de-
feated candidates came around at the close
with as warm congratulations as any. This

The state convention of the democracy
was a glorious success The platform is
worthy of the people and their united sup
port for it is of the people. There was not
q negative vote upon the platform, but all
were singularly harmonious, uniting every
element upon the broad platform of the
people. No need of a national party now;
no need of riding separate horses that radi-
calism may claim a victory over the foolish
ness of a division of votes, without a
division of sentiment or principles. The
fight is now on for the success of the people
against the Shylock horde that is Endorsed
by the republican party whenever it has been
called to act. The platform is not only for the
people of Indiana, butt Is broad enough and
strong enough for the democracy of the ma
ton to stand upon. The statesmanlike
speech, the advanced ground, the bold and
manly utterances of Governor Hendricks
gave promise of that unity which always
brings victory. The ticket is an exception.
ally strong one. representing as it does every
section of our state, and with record, both
civil and military, beyond reproach, it has
every element of success.
Then, democrats, with harmony every
where visible, with q platform of bold manly
and truthful utterances directly.in the inter
ests of the whole people, and a ticket com
posed OF active, earnest and able democrats,
we only require steady work to achieve a
great and glorious triumph. That we know

The democratic state convention, on the
Goth instant, is conceded on all hands to have
been composed of the largest and most dis
tinguished body of men that ever assembled
in a political capacity at indianapolis. Per
feet order and harmony prevailed through
out the whole proceedings, and the ticket,
as finally selected-with the exception, of
course, OF transient personal feelings of re-
greet for defeated candidates-gives thorough
satisfaction in all portions of the state. The
gentlemen selected for the various Offices are
IN every way unexceptionable, and will be
supported with vigor and earnestness that
will give the state to the democracy by at
least 10000 majority. The platform so unan-
imously adopted is entirely acceptable TO
both democrats and greenbaclx men, and will
completely harmonic every shade of oppos-
ition to the existing ruinous republican
financial policy.
We regret exceedingly the defeat of Judge
Cravens for the nomination of secretary Of
state. Within our knowledge of public men
of the state. we know of no one more fitted
than he for the office: An able lawyer,
man of fine culture and matured judgment
quick to plan and swift to execute; one of
the best speakers and most brilliant writer's
in Indiana-he would have occupied the po-
sition as nearly to perfection as it would be
possible to predict. But. as has been re-
marked the Judge feels his defeat less keenly
than his friends, and it only remains for his
partisans to accept his philosophy, and, for
getting present discomfort, push forward
with greater zeal for the triumph of the
whole ticket, remembering that personal
disappointment is always swallowed up In
party victory.
fore the convention to the careful perusal OF
our readers as embodying a clear, compact
and able review of the financial issues; the
document is unequaled.

The state convention did itself honor in
presenting to the people of Indiana ticket
made up of men well known for their ster-
ling integrity and devotion TO the principles
of the democratic party. OF the large num-
Der of names. presented for the various
offices, there were none but could have gone
before the people and commanded the re-
spect and suffrages of the party. And the
successful candidates have right to feel
proud of their victory over opponents well
known in the political history of the state,
and who had the confidence, if not the votes,
of the members of the convention. The
ticket is probably the strongest placed in the
field for years. The different sections OF the
state srs about evenly represented, and by
men who can command every democratic
vote and bring out the entire strength of the
party. The election of the ticket is fore
gone conclusion, and the only question is as
to majorities. Let us all go TO work with a
determination to make its success so
overwhelming as to forever set at rest
tie political status OF Indiana. The
state is naturally democratic by at least %, 600
majority, and with the ticket now in the
field, and in this era of Cancellation, we
ought to increase that figure to at least
10000.
