An Explanation in Order.
Vincennes Special.


Land Commissioner Stockslager has thrown a
bomb into the Indiana Democratic camp 1t
seems that in a recent State platform the De-
mocracy declared That the action of the Demo
cratic House of Representatives of the Forty
eighth and Forty ninth congresses in declaring
forfeited and reclaimiug from railroad corpora
tions about 100 600 600 acres of land is heartily
Endorsed and approved"
The News, Democratic paper of this city.
wrote to Stockslager concerning the matter, and
Stockslager declares that the platform is absurd
and wrong, and that 'Only 5000, 900 acres have
been forfeited, and that the same will be subject
to entry as soon diagrams shall have been
placed in the hands of the proper officials of the
government"
OF course from the above it would appear that
the Land Commissioner and the Indiana Demo-
cratic platform are totally at variance and
Stockslager's statement brings trouble. There
is little mathematical difference of 92 000 900
acres between the Land Commissioner and the
Indiana Democrats who framed the platform.
1t now behooves the author thereof to rise and
explain whose error it is.
