THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION
The expressed willingness Of Mr.. Thur
man TO accept the nomination for tho Vice
Presidency, II rendered to him with unan-
unity, simplilies the work Of the National
Democratic Convention. II will save that
body from anything like wrangling over
candidates, and reduces the matter OF
voting for nominees TO n merely perfume
tory duty. Cleveland for President and
Thurman for Vico-Prcsidcni will be the
ticket, and tho platform will, OF course,
indorsc the Mills bill and the Presidents
Tariff Reform Message. All the State
Democratic Conventions have done this,
and IL is fair 10 assume the National body
will follow in the same line The Conycn-
ton will become then love feast
The party has not been rs strong in well
defined lines Of policy, or IS strong in In
tcrnal conviction and peace since Franklin
rcarrc was elected. Indeed II never was
as strong as It is today. II was never SO

THE LITTLE ROCK CONVENTION

THE LITTLE ROCK CONVENTION
The Slth ballot taken yesterday by
the Democratic Convention now in ses-
sion at Little Rock, shows that the con
test is gradually narrowing to Fletcher
and Hughes. Eagle and Fishback are
losing, and they are gaining. On the 9th
ballot the vote stood: Hughes lls, Fletcher
ll2, Fishbach l0l, Eagle o. and Rector
%. In contrast with this, on the Sith
ballot, the vote stood: Hughes l75,
Fletcher li0, Fishback y, Eagle H. and
Rector 30 The tenacity OF Mr.. Hughes
friends proves that there arc some Demo-
Gratis who believe in a third term, but ii is
to be hoped they are not in sufficient
strength TO force bad precedent
upon the party. No man should
be permitted to become block
adc to prevent the free exercise Of the am
btion of the best men Of the party. Such
a thing is odious and ropugnant 10 Demo-
cratic usage and tendency, and should be
squclchcd in is incipicncy. II the Offices
are TO bc held for life or at the will Of II
few men there is an end TO Democracy.
The party becomes in such a case merely
a means 10 an end that Is at yarcnce with

Topped from Gray to Thurman, and Mr.. Q.
G. Matson was sent post haste to see the g q
congressman of Illinois and ascertain his
position. The result of the interview was
not given out, but Mr.. Matson appeared
much encouraged. Later he met the Yer
mont delegation which arrived this evening,
and found several who accepted the Indiana
