The Democrats Of Indianapolis have been
running the negro pretty strong In that city.
The late Democratic city convention contained
a large number OF colored men, one OF whom
was selected as vice president. A negro was
also nominated on the city ticket for an i'm
portant Office. As indianapolis is close city,
with relatively the largest negro population
Of any city north OF Mason and Dxon's line,
tho course pursued by the Democrats In this
matter has created the greatest disgust and
alarm In the minds Of the Republicans. The
Republican paper, the Journal loses It's tenn
Ger over an insignificant matter like this and
breaks forth In the most bitter denunclation
OF tho hypocrisy Of the Democrats In nomi-
mating O colored man for office For a year
or more the Republicans have been grum-
bling that the negroes held few offices; there
was not representative OF the race In the
present House Of Representatives. The
Northern Democrats are now seeking to sup
ply this deficiency and crafty their political
opponents by nominating negroes for Office
In a number OF Republican districts. Strange
to say this does not please the negrophilists,
who candidly admit that what they want Ia
negroes in Office infthe South, not to rule over
and govern their 9eetlon OF the country.

The Constitutional Convention assembled
Yesterday at IL o'clock, and was called to
order by Gov. Nichols. Only three members
were found to be absent when Secretary OF
State Strong called the roll....A very large
crowd was present and much interest was
manifested In the proceedings. As was ex-
pected, Hon. Louis A. Wiltz was elected per-
manent President Of the body. and, on taking
the chair, made an excellent speech, which Is
Giyen In full in this mornings DEMOCRAT.
The after proceedings consisted In drawing
for seats; the ordering OF committee on
rules; notices Of contests In no less than five
cases, and resolution, which went over, pro-
yiding for the admission OF persons to the
floor Of the Convention.

" for their suffering, their ruin and their


shame2
we have stated the case freely and strongly,
and we trust that the Convention will look the
issue squarely In the face. The Issue is be-
tween the readjusters or as they are con-
tempt1ously termed, the regulators, on the
one hand and those who TO obtain the letter OF
their bond would ruin the State and literally
confiscate the property OF the people, This Is
no exaggeration. Gen. Gibson few days
ago stated In New York that In the last ten
years the taxes on his valuable estates had
amounted to more than they would bring II
put up for sale. He stated further that on
ten thousand acres Of rich and well improved
land he could not borrow $4,000. Gen.
Gibson's case Is an exceptional one. His
lands are rich productive and well improved,
and be has better advantages than nine men
out OF ten to obtain advances or loans. Nine
ty-nine out OF every hundred Of our planters
will tell far worse story. And IL this not
confiscation? Is II not of greater consequence
for the Convention to look to the rights OF the
property holders and the laborers who de-
pend on them and tho trade that they supply
than to the preservation Of the body OF an enor-
nous fraudulent debt bearing an exorbtant
rate OF interest? Is 1t not more Infamous to
ruin the taxpayers and the State than to force
the holders Of rotten bonds TO o just, fair and
equitable adjustment of their claims2
Gentlemen Of the convention, disguise the
issue as you may, this ID It's real character,
and the people will strip from 1t any mask
ingenious or designing men may put upon 1t.

The charges made by the New York Tribune
against Tilden, a few days ago, were perhaps
the most absurd and ridiculous ever made by
newspaper against man In public life. It
accused him Of being partner In the firm Of
Tilden Co., druggists and dealers In patent
medicines, and then charged that firm with
having defrauded the government by neglect
ing to put internal revenue stamps on their
patent medicines as they are compelled, by
law, to do Yet, on such fimsy foundation
as this the Tribune attempted to build grand
political sensation, dragging In the name OF
number Of leading politicians who were work.
Ing, it charged, to prevent Tilden from being
indicted for this offense. The sensation, how
ever, did not prosper, for the Tribune to-day,
two days after it gave birth to this silly story
apologies to Tllden and acknowledges that
there is nothing in its tale Of patent medi-
onac

The debt question is the most important
subject which will claim the attention OF
the Constitutional Convention now in
session. large majority OF the delegates
recognize the absolute necessity Of reliey-
ing the people from the crushing burden
now imposed upon them, but see no way In
which this can be done without materially
reducing the present interest tax. This alone
will not bring the relief demanded. The Or
binary expenses OF the government must be
reduced as well. Before discussing the va
rious plans that will be submitted the DEM
SlCRAT renews its suggestion that a basis
sS6ufd first be arrived at upon which the
Conyention may model Its work. What rate

We have before us the latest report of the
Surgeon General of the United States Marine
Hospital Service, showing the mortality 10 the
cities OF this country for the week ending
April 70. This report shows New Orleans to
be at present nearly the healthiest city In the
Union. The only important cities presenting
q better record are st. Louis and Chicago, and
this is due doubtless to an exaggeration In
their population and to their Incorrect health
reports The annual death rate per thousand
in New Orleans for this period was only 1915,
far below the average. While nearly every
other city in the Union showed deaths from
diphtheria scarlet fever, whooping cough
and smallpox, New Orleans was altogether
free from these diseases.

Radical charity, as applied to the negroes
who have emigrated to Kansas ID Of an ex-
tremely practical character. 1t Is not to go
TO disabuse the public mind Of theimpression
carefully cultivated that the negroes have left
the South because they cannot exercise full
political privileges here. Consequently 1t is
stipulated that none of the money donatedis
TO be used to enable them to get home again.
Having gone to Kansas, 1t would never do for
them to come back to Louisiana and Missis-
elppi. Such course would forever set at rest
the ISLANDERS about the political condition q
the negro In the South, which constitutes the
stock In trade of the average Radical politi-
clan and penny-a-liner.

The Republican thieves who stole number
OF representatives from the Democrats of
New York and Kings counties In the late
legislative apportionment by the New York
Legislature have fallen out. AS long as the
Democratic counties only were affected all
was we'll, but the majority finally fell to
gouging each other, and terrific yell Of
wrath goes up from the losing counties. One
OF the Republican members of the Legisia-
ture (Beckwith, Of Monroe,) gave expression
to this feeling few days ago. In opposing
some OF the features of the bill he said that as
long as the stealing was from the Democratic
