A GOOD DAYS WORK

The Democratic State Central Committee
met yesterday afternoon In the commodi-
Gus and convenient new quarters in the
old State building.
The principal business for which the
committee was called together was the FIX
ing OF a time for the State Convention.
Thursday, the Goth of April, is the day
selected. This is an early date, and good
one, We congratulate the committee upon
the wisdom displayed in deciding upon an
early convention. The Democracy should
be first In all things this year, but especially
In the matter OF holding conventions. We
know what we want, and what the people
OF the country want, and our banners all
along the line should be flung to the breeze
early in the fight.
II is especially important that the Democ-
rscy OF Indiana should make early declara-
ton of their faith and purposes. This State
is destined to play sn important part in the
next campaign, the most important in its
history. The electoral vote of Indiana
this year will, in all probability, determine
the.result. The Barons OF Protection and
the arrogant Lords Of Monopoly will swoop
down upon us in all their force in support
OF the Republican ticket. We must be
prepared for them by intelligent organiza-
ton and thoroughly united party. An
early convention means all this.
In the selection of q chairman the COM
mittee did well in the choice OF State SEN
ator Richardson q thoroughlv tru worthy
industrious and painstaking man, who will
perfect an organization Of which himself
and the party will feel proud. The COM
mittee would have liked to have awaited
itself OF the wide acquaintance and p0lit.
ical experience of Mr.. Sheerin in the posi-
ton Of chairman, and in this desire none
were stronger than Mr.. Richardson; but
Mr.. Sheerin had incorporating business
engagements which made it impossible for
him to accept the place. His services to
the party will not be lost, however. He is
a member OF the Executive Committee,
and will cheerfully and unreservedly give
his spare time to the canvass. The COM
mittee did good days work.
There is food for reflection in the differ
ence between its methods and those OF the
Republican Committee. There is no click
of the machine around our committee
rooms The party good and success in No
vember Dext is the single and honest pur-
pose the committee has in view.

GOOD DEMOCRATIC AMMUNI.
TON,


The tariff question is to be the com.
handing issue in the approaching Presiden-
tial campaign. The Presidents message
has brou hit this great question fairly and
sQusrely before the country. Neither
party can evade it if it would; the Demo-
cratic party, ut least, would not If it could.
II is evident that all other questions will
be lost sight of in the campaign, and that
the battle will be fought out and won or
lost upon this issue alone.
We think the Democracy is certain to
win. l. Is on the right side Of the question.
The demand for the repeal of needless
taxation levied, not for the support
of the Government, bat for the benefit OF
q small element in the population at the
expense OF the great masses Of the people,
cannot fail to be emphaticalIy sustained
by the country, il it is clearly and effect
lively preserved.
Every Democratic journalist every
Democratic voter, every Democratic can
didste-every Democrat, in short, who Is
interested in the success of his party ought
to inform himself thoroughly upon this
subject before the campaign opens. He
should be thoroughly equipped with the
facts and familiar with the arguments
which demonstrate the folly aud injustice
of high protective tariff All that Is
necessary TO convince reasonable and
intsIligsnt men of the badness OF the ex-
listing system is to set them to reading
and thinking. That sh9Vld bs the kin vi

ALL the monopoly organs are predicting
dire disaster 1.-THE Mills tariff bill becomes

Cleveland was elected, and the country is
still here. We don't think a reduction in

THE RESULT.

THE RESULT.
We cannot give our readers much
satisfaction on the result of the cleo
zion this week. Up to the time OF go
sng 10 press it is impossible 30 hear
from number Of doubtful states, and
40 man can tell TO certainty how the
election has gone on the national ticket.
Republicans claim New York by
&rom 8 zoe to IL 600 plurality, while
tho New York democratic managers
say there may be 1000 plurality for
Harrison, and that there is yet .
chance that the Official count may show
Gleveland's majority in New York city
q great deal more than now estimated.
and there being yet large number OF
county districts to hear from outside
Of the city wherein Harrison may not
keep up the republican eains shown in
Che country districts already heard
from. which would cause his estimated
Snajority 60 be cut down conside :ably.

atatss are yet doubtful.

Nsys given up Cleveland, while all the
eepublieal,s are claiming Harrison's
9lcctions We fed little shaky on the
matter. but will net acknowledge de-
Seat until we know it for a certainty.

ehe question was rot settled satisfactor-
jy until a week or more after the cleo
eiep, and theEe ia no reason to believe

0itely any sooner this year.

ing % rejcice sc. Democrats scratched
