GOVERNOR GRAY's RALLY.

The Democratic meeting yesterday diff
fered from the recent Republican conference
in that while one was held for the good of the
party the other was held for the good of an
individual. The Republicans together
to promote the welfare of the party in Indi-
ana, while the Democrats met to boom Gov
ernor Gray for Vce-president. Each meet
ing accomplished its object in its own way.
The Republicans are well satisfied with the
result of their conference, and with the gen.
eral good feeling and active measures of organ
ization that have followed. We presume
Governor Gray is equally well satisfied with
the result of the meeting yesterday. Certain
ly he has reason to be- In the light of the
proceedings it is evident that the sole object
of the meeting was to indorse the Governor
for Vice-president and give him an
early send-off. The talk about perfect

a mere blind. No serious attempt was made
in that direction. The other resolutions
adopted by the meeting had no particular sig
nifcance, and it was evident the one indors-
There was some opposition to it, but it was
easily overborne. The Governor and his
friends had the meeting well in hand, and the
resolution went through with whirL The
result is personal triumph for Gray. but it
is likely he and his friends greatly overesti-
mate its Importance 1t may insure him a
solid delegation from this State for Vice
president, and it may not His early candi-
dacy will provoke antagonism, in Indiana and
elsewhere, and what now seems political
advantage may prove the reverse. But it is a
personal triumph for Gray such as he is in the
habit of planning regardless of the
interests of his party friends.
He is a thoroughly selfish and
cold blooded politician. who allows nothing to
stand between him and the accomplishment
of his desires if he can tramp it down. Since
he entered the Democratic party in 1872 he
has been remarkably successful in making his
points by dint Of shrewd scheming and an
almost brutal disregard of the claims of older
and better Democrats than himself, until at
last he seems to have established secure hold
on the party. This hold is not the result of
superior ability, merit party services or
capacity for leadership, but of talent for
persistent scheming and self-advancement.
It remains to be seen whether the work of
yesterday will materially aid his political
aspirations, and whether he will be able to
utilize his hold on the party in this State to
gain a national recognition.

TIE WASHINGTON CONTINGENT.

Some of the Democratic statesmen tenn
porarily residing in Washington came out to
give the party the benefit of their wisdom
and advice. They looked we'll fed and well
kept, and were regarded with secret dislike by
the brethren who are still struggling for
place at the public crib. Old Faulkner,
who holds up one end Of the Pension Office,
informed the rural delegates that ''the senti-
ment in Washington is favorable to General
Black for Vice-president, and in my judgment
he will be nominated" Faulkner hasn't
learned yet that sentiment in Washington"
doesn't amount to anything A clerk from
the Postofice Department would assert that
the sentiment in Washington was all for
Villas, or would so assert until Don Dickinson
becomes Postmaster-general,w when it will all
be for him, and ''public sentiment"
in the Interior Department will be
for Villas. But as Faplkner's chief
gave him leave of absence, with
pay, to come home and blow for him, it was
right that he should do 80. Col. John S.
Williams, Third Auditor of the Treasury, is
foot-loose as to candidate for Vicepresdent,
there being none in the Treasury Department.
but he is enthusiastic for Cleveland, who he
says "has at all times done his duty, and as
result the Treasury is to-day overloaded with
a surplus, which never happened under Re-
publican rule" Being in the Treasury Depart
ment it is natural that Colonel Willams's
craftsmanship should take a financial turn,
but when he says there never a surplus
during Republican administration he is
either badly mistaken or Intentionally mislead-
ing. There was large surplus revenue
for many years before Cleveland's
election, and it was honestly and
faithfully applied to the redemption of the
public debt If this administration had
obeyed the law in redeeming government
bonds the surplus to which Colonel Williams
points with pride would not have accumulated.
1t is there, not because Mr.. Cleveland has
done his duty, but because ne has not done
his duty. By the way, if it be true, as Col.
Williams says, that treasury surplus never
happened under Republican rule, how would
he characterize the statement made by the
late Mr.. Hendricks from every stump in In
diana. and echoed by the little orators that
there was surplus of 800, 600, 600, and de-
handing that it be distributed at S. per head?
On the whole, the Washington contingent
did not show up very strong yesterday, and
the character OF the political information
which they contributed to the occasion hard
ly justified so long trip in mid-winter.

TIE TARIFF ON SUGAR.

Few people in the North will object to
having sugar put on the free list if the Demo
cratic party, controlled by the Southern States,
insists on having it done. But the probabili-
ty is very great that those who suppose the
American consumers of sugar will buy that
article at lower rates than they now do, will
be deceived. Our able free-trade contempora-
~, the Chicago Tribune, admits that the price
of coffee was not reduced here by putting
that article on the free list, but attributes the
failure to the fact that Brazil put an export
tax on coffee just equal to the tariff we took
off, and that the cofee-raisers and importers,
instead of paying the duty into the United
States treasury, put it into the treasury of
Brazil. The Tribune, we think, is somewhat
mistaken in its facts. It was some time, if
we remember correctly, after we removed the
duty from coffee before the governme Mt of
Brazil put the export tax
In the meantime, the coffee-rais-
ers of that country simply put
own pockets, instead of putting it into the U.
S. treasury. Now, suppose we remove the
tariff from sugar, and do as the Tribune
suggests, couple the removal with a proviso
that the sugar shall not come in free from any
country that levies an export tax; then, will
lot the foreign sugar-maker, finding no tariff
levied on sugar here and no export tax levied
at home, simply put the tax. from the
payment of which he is relieved by both
governments into his own pocket and go on
selling US sugar at the same old price, just
as the coffee producers d;da How would our
able free-trade contemporary, the Tribune,
provide against this resultG By removing the
tariff from sugar the supply Of sugar would
not be increased nor the demand diminished,
and would not the price be still regulated by
the law of supply and demandG As Mr..
Lincoln said in his famous speech at the
Bates House, in this city, in 1861, we are not
asserting anything, but simply asking ques-
tons

THE chief of the fire department is right in
the position he has taken, that it should not
be turned into political machine. No good
fireman should be removed for political rea-
merely, nor any new man appointed

should be free from the methods and manage
ment of partisan politics. The chief is right,
and should be sustained. If he is fit to be
chief he should be trusted and supported as

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.-If President Cleve-

sage to Congress of delegates to the National
Association Of Wool Manufacturers Wool
growers and Wholesalers associations, now
here, he would not be proud of his work or his
principles They condemn the message from
beginning to end. F. D. Wight, the largest
wooi-raiser in Colorado, said He doesn't
know what he's talking about If he appre-
ciated the difficulties of fock-raisng on the
plains he would not have made the suggestions
ne did about the wool tariff.

way back, 70 rmerly Comptroller of the Treas
ury. said 81 am delighted with it; it is the first

$50 600, 600 annually, and that this he calls
it, is paid largely in States that produce wool while
the revenues from duties i'm ported wool amounts
to about one fourth the derived from those
sugars; and that only about 40. 900 planters
