large, but the audience was made up Of highly
intelligent and respectable looking body Of men,
mostly advanced in years The proceedings of
the convention were characterized throughout by
calm elaboration and earnestness The session
was opened with prayer by Rev. A. Marine, pas

upon the Divine Being to eliminate from the
proceedings Of the body any motives
Of hypocrisy or political intrigue. and he asked

'sChairman of the Convention:
1.-THE committee provided for by the resolution
accompanying this communication are awaiting
the privilege of presenting their overtures to
your honorable body. c. G. BARTHOLOMEW
Chairman of the Committee of Conference
Amid much excitement, a motion to lay this
communication on the table was carried,
and the visiting committee withdrew Then en-
sued another wrangle, in which the ladies par
ticipated. Both Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Cougar
vehemently protested against gag law and dis
courteous treatment of brother prohibitioniSts,
the former declaring that many of them were
the best friends the temperance cause had ever
had, and that the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union would never stand by such action.
Finally, on motion Of Mr.. Dwiggins, it was
decided to appoint committee of conference to
meet the visiting delegates outside the hail. and
this was the last heard Of them during the day
The committee, as appointed by the Chair, was
as follows: First District NJ M. Gill; Second,

THE PLATFoRM OF PRINCIPLES.

The temperance people of Indiana in mass conven-
ton assembled declare their unalterable purpose in
favor of constitutional and statutory prohibition of
the liquor traffic beverage. IL has been shown by
one of the State departments that more than two
thirds of the convictions for crime in Indiana are due
to this traffic; that 1t requires burden of taxation
annually of million and half of dollars to pay
court and other expenses in the trial Of this class Of
crime. The pauperism and public expenditure Incl
dent thereto, chargeable to the cause and the
waste and loss occasoned by the traffic in liquor as
this traffic the chief of al the moral social
and economic burdens Of the State 1t is the duty Of
the State TO protect its people from the effects of crime
and its burdens. The attempt to do so by licensing
the cause of crime has for hundred years proven a
failure. We recognize the honest differences of opin-
ion as to the methods proposed to secure pro.
lection from this crime, but relying upon
the light Of experience we believe that It
would be unwise to nominate Independents tickets
which in our opinion would antagonize those who
must be relied upon to thesuccess of our cause
and lead to separate "a and disaster Government and
public administration is mutiform In its objects and
and there thousands of good and true people
who viii not be governed wholly by party founded
ON ono idea no matter how good that idea OF prncipe
is These thousands are essential to the success Of
the temperance cause and II would be madness TO
drive them away by attempt to limit them in sera-
rate party action this question. Experience
too, teaches uniformly that on the ono hand sue
cess has only through existing party organiza-
ton; and the other in separate party action only

origin and progress through two legislatures the late
pending prohibition amendment IN our State had its

htca parties, and yAs only defeated at tho dotation

REFLEcTING UPON Mr.. SHELLS METHODS
In speaking upon the propositions which were
to be presented by the conference committee to
the other convention, Dr., Bartholomew charged
Shiel with managing the independent movement
in the interest Of the Democratic party. There
were many who had gone into the convention
feeling sincere conviction that they were act
ing in the right, and if they were making any
mistake it was mistake of Judgment. As work
ers in the cause they were dear to him, and
though now apart, he hoped that they would yet
be united He hoped to secure joint session of
the two conventions, with just rights accorded
to each, but to have each to do as they should
think best to the best interests Of the cause.
He had no desire to swallow, and
til he knew where he was going.
He had no other desire than that all
should be united in an effort to save the cause
from rack and ruin He felt that in these over
lures the fairest possible way was being opened
to unite the two factions
The question was asked by lady in the
audience, rs there any provision in the State
Constitution for constitutional conventionYp
In answer, the opinion was expressed by Il. b.
Reynolds, w. H. Trammell, Judge Harrison and
others that while there is no specific provision,

The Republican Blight on Trade.

(From the New York Graphic, Oct. 1Oth)
Blaine's Cincinnati organ, the Com
mercia- Gazette, saws: THE business
revival will commence if Blaine and
Logan shall be elected" What's the
the matter with Arthur and Garfield
and Hayes and Grant? When at last
the Blaine men are compelled to con-
fess that there really is business de-
preston they fall back on this ridicu-
lous statement The condition of the
country, however, points unmistaka-
bly, to coming change IN the Govern.
ment. For three years commerce has
been staggering under heavy load
stocks have been dropping lower and
lower, and business of all kinds is de-
pressed. When Garfield was elected
four years ago the country was in a
prosperous condition and eni .ying the
tag end of the period of prosperity
that followed the panic of 1873; stocks
were high, railroads we've booming.
the crops were large, and people were
making money and were 10th TO
change such a state of affairs for an
uncertainty, on the principle that a
bird in the hand Is worth two in the
bush. The merchants too came down
handsomely for the campaign ex-
penses, and big fund was in the
hands of the managers to be used in
the ways that are peculiar t6 politics.
Now. different state Of affairs exists.
and it Is remarkably like that which
saw the election of 1876. Business is
depressed, stocks are down, the crops
are small, railroads are earning moth
ing. there is plenty If money in the
banks but no confiltnce to put it into
anything, and the business community
is blue and grumbling. And this after
twenty years of Republican supremacy
is portentous and ominous.
