THE mass meeting held in the Grand Opera

The mass-meeting held in the Grand Opera
house last night was one of the largest public
assemblies ever gathered in Indianapolis.
Hundreds were compelled to stand, and other
hundreds left the building before the hour of
opening because of a lack of seating room.
It was convincing demonstration of the in
terest Of the people in the proposed new
building for the Young Mems Christian
Association, the merits of which enterprise
We're pertinently presented by Mr.. William
Wallace Of this city, and by Mr.: II. Thane
Miller, of Cincinnati. The meeting was a
complete demonstration of the feasibility and
practicability of the project and if the man
ayers of the Association take wise and prompt
advantage of the evident public interest and
feeling it can but be short time until the
necessary funds are pledged, so that gSannd
may be broken for the structure at the earliest
practicable moment this spring.

THE name of ex-Gov. A. G.. Porter has been
mentioned in several quarters in connection
with the position of chairman of the State Re-
publican central committee. Such mention is,
of course, complimentary to the Governor, and
indicates the justly high esteem in
which he is held by his party; but there
are obvious and imperative reasons, which
may not be more specifically alluded
to, that forbid any consideration of his
name in this regard. The Governor is de-
voted to the best interests of the Republican
party, and in the coming campaign will do his
full share of work; but the idea of his assump-
ton of the duties of the State craftsmanship is
entirely out of place. A due consideration
of the circumstances will show the impro-
priety of the further use of his name.

i but twelve miles, which would call for 4
fare Of but twenty-four cents Some forty
young fellows in Syracuse recently made the
trip, paying the extra two cents. They then
brought suit under the extortion act, their
evident object being to realize the $25 offered
for convictions. This is but one remove, and
narrow one from stealing. Proceedings in
barratry might be brought against such
bright youths. Their trick is a contemplate
one, and the engine of the law should not be
brought to their aid in this matchmaking
scheme.

Mr.. DALTON stubbornly refuses to give up
the fraudulent election returns for the pur-
pose of having them photographed. It is not
asked that they pass out of his custody for
for even an instant. the only purpose being to
present to the Legislature fac smile of the
palpable fraud attempted upon the people and
to assist in reaching just verdict. Were half
this courage shown in behalf of fair elections,
there would be much less complaint. There
would have been no ballot-box smashing in
this city, for instance.
