Two PInnISa.

The Democratic state conventions Of In
diana and Tennessee, In session at Indlanap-
oils and Nashville respectively on The 1lth
instant, took cognizance Of the prohibition
question, and each incorporated resolu-
tion in its platform in reference thereto
The following is the Indiana plank:
Rtsolrcd, That the Democratic party Of In
diana is now, as II always has been, opposed In
principloto all sumptuary laws and prohibltory
legislation, but 1t Is In favor Of just and proper
measures for regulating the etrailic In splrltuous
and Intoxicating liquors under license sys.
tenn, designed to repress the evils of intempcr-
ancc and Il favors a reasonable increase of the
license tax, discriminating between malt liquor
and wines and distilled spirits so as to place
the highest license on distilled spirits, the pro.
ceeds Of such tax to be applied to the support
of common schools.
The following is the Tennessee plank;
Recognizing tho sovereignty of the people, in
the response to their demand through their
representatives in the last general assembly,
we fnyor submitting to them for their adoption
or rejection the proposed constitutional amend
| ment prohibiting the manufacture and sale Of
intoxicating liquors as beverage In Tennes.

~ VIII bb uOllCtu IuuJ llltIb Is u
difference In the two declarations.
| The Indiana Democrats are crafty, evas-
i've, straddling, l.things.to .all-meu dema
gogues. They are opposed to high licenst
and, although they do not say so in plair
terms, they are pledged not to give the peo
pie a chance to vote on any proposition t.
amend the Fundamental law of the state II
relation to the liquor traffic, no matter hos
strong the pressure may be.
The Tennessee Democrats, whatever ma,
be their feelings in other respects, NEE
this issue squarely aud manfully. "Recog
nizing the sovereignty of the people, ;
which the Indiana Democrats decline :,
recognize, the Tennessee brethren declar
that they will submit prohibition amend
ment.
1t is a somewhat singular coincidenc
that the Democrats IN Tennessee occup,
the same grounds in this matter that 4
held by the Pennsylvania Republicans
Both are right, Opposed as we are t
prohibition, because 1t always fails to pro
hibit, yet we cannot see that Legislature
causproperly decline to give the people
chance to vote on an amendment when ther
is general desire expressed for such tes

A party Of New York fellows arrived at
Saratoga yesterday from the White Sui

They say there are more beautiful girls at
the White Sulphur than there are at Newport,
Cape May, and Long Branch.
"They are not so rich as the Saratoga
girls, they say, but oh, so handsome-such
coquettes and such 1irts."

The Democracy Going to Pieces.

l9N' AsOuAo NiObN-hSihbSAutl
The death Of these powerful party chiefs
[John Kelly, G. L. Loew, Hubert o..
Thomdson, and Samuel j. Tildenl leaves a
void in that Democratic organization which
can hardly be adequately filled within a
generation. Who are now left to take
their placeRP There arc yet available, In
deed, large number OF vigorous and
successful party workers, men who cap
ture primaries and control wards. Circum-
stances, however, are rapidly depriving
these individuals Of the power to either
make or mar the fortunes OF any party.
Jaehne is in Sing Sing, half dozen other
distinguished Democratic potentates are In
exile, and many are awaiting a trial which
in all probability will place them behind
prison bars for at least ten years, while
Squire, Flynn, and other party magnates are
in imminent danger Of feeling the remorse'
less grasp Of outraged law.
The empire state decided the Presidential
elections Of 1880 and 1884. II will also de-
eide that Of two years hence. But the
fates. which have been dealing unkindly
with the Democracy Of the commonwealth
In the past half year, have decreed that II
shall again take It's place In the Republican
column In 1888.

KENNA,s DILEMMA.
He Must Neglect His Duties NJ Chair
man or His Rivals Will Get Ahead OF
Him at Home.

man or His Rivals Will Get Ahead OF
Him at Home.
Senator Kenna, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee,
finds his position anything but pleasant
Just at this time. lie is threatened by two
perils, and one 10 likely to overcome him
whichever way he turns. If he remains at
congressional committee headquarters in
this city and gives bis time to the duties Of
chairman, the formidable opposition which
has arisen In West Virginia against him and
bis friend Camden is pretty certain to reach
such proportions as to cause the defeat OF
both Of them one and two years hence. On
the other hand, II he goes home to keep his
fences in repair, all losses In the congress
sional elections will be attributed to his
neglect, and the result will be the political
downfall OF the young senator. The iirst
Of these evils is more threatening than is
generally thought. A very powerful fac
tion opposed to Kenna and Camden has
grown up in West Virginia lately, IL is
headed by Gov. Wilson, who asplres to
| Camden's place in the Senate. The gov
ernor has been laying his wires industrious
| ly ever since he went to Charleston, aud
using the patronage Of his Office for all II
| IL worth to further his designs. His follow
ing is large. All the Grecnbackers are
| WIFI Hlllls anu Us lt WIS u bOIb vi lubOiilI
mans candidate for governor, the working
people will give him their support.
| Kenna knows that should Camden
| be defeated for reelection this winter his
own chances In 1889 will be seriously i'm
paired, for Wilson will use his influence to
make one Of his followers his colleague In
the Senate. Then II is not by any means
certain that the state will have a Democratic
legislature at oil this winter. Not only has
Mr. Kenna to battle against rivals in his own
party, but he will have to fight TO retain
West Virginia in the Democratic column.
| The state has been inclining more aud more
TO the Republican column at every election
during the past seven or eight years. Demo
cratic majoritles have dwlndled down from
| $4,000 aud 10000 to less than 1900 two
years ago. The widespread dissatisfaction
| with the administration and the demand for
protection consequent on the recent rapid
growth OF manufactures In the state will
tend to still further diminish the majority
and perhaps dissipate it in the immediate
future. In the event of Republican success
Of course Congressman Golf will be the nex
United States senator. So 1t can easily bC
seen that young Kenna's elevation to the
Craftsmanship OF the congressional commit
tee, while great honor, places him In {
| perilous position, from which there Is M
recediDE except by the road Of resignation
He cannot fight his own battle and those o
Others at the same time, yet the neglect o
either will probably prove fatal to him.

WILLIAM A. GRAVES, highly-educated
and respectable colored man, until lately
was the principal OF q colored school In At
lanta, Ga. The school committee at the
time OF the visit OF jefferson Davis to that
city ordered the children to turn out to
make parade on the occasion Of the recep-
tion to Mr.. Davis. Mr.. Graves refused TO
lead his colored children, laden with flow
ers, to honor the man who tried to keep
them in slavery. Because he thus refused
he has been turned out OF his office. An
other colored man, the very man who, as Il
ragged little school boy told Gen. Howard
to tell the friends north that "we's rising"
has Just been turned out Of the position OF
principal Of the colored public school in
Macon, Ga, because he told his brethren
and sisters in an address he delivered in
June last that they had the same right to
seats in public conveyances as the whites
had, Comment is unnecessary.

A NORTH CAROLINA correspondent Of q

Cox, of that state, was not defeated for re-
nomination on account OF his record in
favor OF civil service reform, but because Of
his bad judgment In the distribution of the
