WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Indiana
| Democratic association tonight decided
upon parade and reception of Voor
hees, Watson and other Indianians FROM
| the st. Louis convention. They will
| carry transparencies declaring "Un
wavering fealty to Gray, but likewise
| loyalty to party principles, and strong
support for Cleveland and Thurman
| Congressman Guenther says that foI
| the same reason the Democrats turned
down Gray the Republicans will turn
| down Gresham. No Knownothing can
that the Republican leaders OF
New York, New jersey and Con.
necticut, who have been favoring
Gresham have concluded to drop him
on account of his knownothing record.
| Concerning the st. Louis platform and
nominees Judge Wilson says:
Il am pleased with the platform and
| it will prove satisfactory everywhere,
and that the nominees will create
steady and growing popular enthu-
siasm. The animadversions against
Thurman OH account OF ms age are base
less. | am informed by Ohio men, who
know him intimately, that Thurman is
remarkable physically, as he is intel
lectually, he is sturdy and strong. That
will be shown baseleSS complaint
when the old Roman blows them few
blasts from his stirring oratorical bugle,
and causes the clans to gather around
him in the West"
Judge Mcdonald says: 1.-THE conven-
tioD has done its work well, and there
is not Democrat in the land who feels
anything but the warmest and most en-
thuSiaStic pleasure and pride i'll the re-
suit of the st. Louis deliberations. The
Democratic party is stronger than ever
to-day, and will sweep the country"
Nelson says: II am out of politics.
and decline to be quoted on this or any
other subject of political Importance.
Lind says: ''The Republicans are
happier over the Democratic platform
and nominees than even the assumed
enthusiasm of Democrats would III
dicate that they are. We will nominate
good men on straight and unequivocaI
platform, and win everywhere north of
Mason and Dixon's line"
Senator Davis says: sit is too soon
to forecast the result of the work done
at st. Louis. 1t seems to me that the
Democrats have, as usual, blundered
enough to suit the Republicans, and we
are not disposed to complain OF what
they have done.''
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, says:
''Wait until after the Republican con-
vention has done its work. then COM
pare the two tickets and the two plat
forms. am not afraid of the compari-
son. and shall hope and pray for full
discussion of the principles of the par
ties during the campaign"
Chairman Mills said: 81 am ex-
tremely glad to see that they toed the
mark on the tariff question. 1t was the
proper thing for them, not only to re-
affirm the tariff plank i'll the platform
of 1884, but to indorse the presidents
message defining that plank. am es-
pecially gratified at the specific indorse-
ment the convention gave ON my tariff
bill. This settles the passage of the
measure in the house. l was pretty
confident of it before, but now there
can be no doubt about it. | expect t0
see every Democrat in the house vote
for the Mills bill. The national Dem.
