INDIANA DEMOCRACY.

The Indiana Democracy met in Con-
ventiOn on the goth, at indianapolis.
and nominated John G. shanklin. Of
yanderbufg county, for Secretary Of
State. TIE following is the text of the
platform
The committee on resolutions report
ed q platform which was unanimously
adopted. It demands that national
bank notes shall be replaced with an
equal amount of Government treasury
notes with legal tender for all debts ex-
cept where original contract has ex-
pressly provided for coin payment The
Government has exclusive provocative
to issue paper as well as coin. and that
such issues should be made as the busi
ness interests of the country demand !.
favcrs taxstion of e. S. notes in cs.a.
mon with all other money dsem syn
dicates to place our loans abroad as IN
exPedient, and favers legislation which
shall distribute the debt among the peo-
pie, thus giving the masses safe invest
ment Of their earnings; also favors
legisiati to make naxirann, interest
six per cent; demands restoration Of
the 4I25 grains silver dollar with full
legal tender quality, with unlimited
coinage upon the same terms as gold is
coined, and demand immediate and
unconditional repeal of the RESUMPTION
act; demand rigid public economy and
reduction OF official salaries; repeal
of the bankrupt law; deplore the late
contest between capital and labor.
Several clauses looking to tie i'm
proEement of the condition of working
men were part Of the platform. 1t de-
clares for public antisectar;an schools !:
declares that the Circuit Courts of the
United States have claimed and cxer-
cised unjustly privileges over corporate
individual States rights opposes class
legislation and subsidies denounces
Republican leaders who through yeusl
returning boards committed the mon
strous crime of defeating the will of
the people in the late presidential cleo
tion. The resolutions on this point are re-
marka5ly severe, declaring that the
crime can only be condoned when the
malefactOrs who seated g fraud in the
presidential chair, are driven from
Pewer and consigned TO everlasting in
fanny. They denouuce the President
for appointing the returning board to
lucrative positions for attempting to
interfere with the prosecution of the
returning board for their erir,sS sfeo
requesting State Congressman to favor
the bill for pensioning MexieSn VA

The Congressional Committee on

HOw THB SENATE wREsTLED wETE
VOORHEES,.

As he went on, the Senate was an in
teresting study. Bayard sat behind
him, with knitted brows, his right arm
crooked about the corner of his chair
back. At his right, in the order named,
MoCreery, Thurman, Eaton, and then
Representative Finley, of Ohio, all pay
ing rapt attention. At the end of the
back row on the Democratic side, large
framed Mcdonald, of Indiana, aimlessly
twirling bit of paper, wheeled round
to face his eloquent colleague. In front
Of him, Ransom's kindly face; and in
front of Ransom, David Davis, thought
full look on his face, and pucker in his
mouth. About the speaker were group
ed Armstrong, Hereford and Dawes;
at the right, Pinkney Whyte, Booth and
Cockrel; in front Merriman; Represen-
tative Scales, Senators Johnston, Lamar
and Beck at the immediate left. On
the Republican side Conkling sat writ
ingabut ever and anon some new argu-
ment, or some fresh burst of elOquence
caught his attention, involuntarily the
pen stopped in mid-air, and the Achilles
of New York listened to the "Tall
Sycamore Of the Wabash" Grandpa
Hamlin, with hands clasped, bent for
ward until his attitude suggested bad
case of collie. Next at Hamlin's right
sat Blaine, glossy and sleek in brand,
span new suit Of lustrous black, absently
stroking his gray beard and looking
steadily at the speaker.

PEN PICTURE OF THE FEW ropE.

LONDON, Feb 20.-The Rome cor
respondent of the Times, in a letter to
that journal under date Of the l4th,
present month, writes as follows Of
Carpinal Pecci, to-day elected pope:
Pecci is tall, with a fine head, high
forehead narrowing at the temples,
long face and straight features He
has large month and prominent chin,
cheerful, open countenance and large
well shaped ears. His face reminds one
of Consuloi, renowned minister of Plus
VII. He has fine sonorous voice,
geat dignity, even susterity of man
ners in public life, but privately is af-
fectionate, unassuming sociable and
witty. As camerleAgo he has been the
head of that party which, without form
ally renouncing the right of the Holy
See acknowledges the wisdom Of the
DEGREES of Providence, excepting what
he calls irrevoeabIy accomplished facts.
The general opinion is that for learn.
ing, tact, energy, dignity, ability, real
moral worth and sincere Piety, the sa-
cred college could net find more de,
serving pope than Cardinal Pecci. Car
dinal Pecci's private life at all periods,
is above reprOacb. He has considers
BILE literary talent and has written po-
etry. He never has had intercourse
with the functienaries of the present
italian government, but is esteemed by
them all, and those with whom the ne
cessity of duty brings him into contact,
are perfectly charmed with him.

Aurr1E DREICrLTY.

Simon Camsron's newspaper at Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania, expresses its I'M
biased opinion that Mr.. Hayes ought
to appoint to office those whe elected
him" Whereupen the Ppiladelphia
Times says: 1t has been little diff
cult SO far to find anybody to answer
this description, as there was prepon-
derance of more than a quarter of a
million of voters on the other side. Mr.
Hayes, however, has done as well as he
could with such lights as he had to
work by. The Florida Returning
Board has been pretty wen provided for
and three members of the Louisiana
Board were comfortably fixed until the
Sheriff of New Orleans found more ap-
propaiate places for them the other day
places in which they can serve the
people with more satisfaction.
