A PLAN OF INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
An Effort Is to Be Made to Secure the Ma,
tional Convention for This City. III

It is probable at the convention Of young
Democrats Wednesday the necessity of holding
the national convention of the party in this city
will DO discussed There has recently been some
talk about making an effort to that end, and I'M
der the enthusiasm that prevails regarding the
benefits to be derived from the coming meeting
the idea has taken shape that the
national Democrats must come here to
renominate Cleveland or the work of the party
in Indiana will be greatly embarrassed. It is
said that with the convention hore and an In
dianian nominated for Vice-president victory
this fall would be assured. Democra ats from
abroad, like Governor Hill. of New York,
Congressman Scott, of Pennsylvania
Henry Watterson and others, are expected
to come to Wednesdays convention, when their
attention will be called to the facilities Indi-
annapolis possesses for entertaining large crowds
and accommodating the largest meetings. One
of Indiana's Democratic Congressmen has said,
''Unless We get either the convention a place
on the ticket, or perhaps both. the State
10 lost to u.s. Indianapolis has better
class, ard much better than some that made
greater pretsnsions in that respect. AS for a
hail. the local Democrats say, If Tomlinson Hall
IL not sufficient. an immense temporary building
will be erected. 1t is assumed that their
national convention will spend but little time in
nominations or platform. as Cleveland's selection
will provide for both. The only contest will be
on Vics-president, and the Indiana democrats
say there ought to be none there, as 1t is essen
tial to have a man from this State for second
place.

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE AYRESs
He Determines to Retire from the Bench at
Once Because He "Can Do Better"

A special telegram to the Journal from Dan
vile states that JudgeA. c. Ayres, who is now
holding court there, yesterday sent his resigna-
ton as Judge of the Hendricks and Marion Cir
cult Court, to Governor Gray. The resignation
is to take effect next Wednesday. The an
nouncement of the Judges determination to re-
tire from the bench was a great surprise TO law
yers in Danvlle and it will be unexpected news
il this city. His only for retiring
is that he 'fcsn do better" A rumor was in
circu lation in Danvlle that he intended enter
ing into partnership with Oscar b. Hord. but a
Journal reporter who called at the residence of
Mr. Hord, last night. told that no such ar
rangement had been made. Mr.. Hord thought,
however, that Judge Ayres had acted wisely IN
resigning, as a long term on the bench places
lawyer of his ability at disadvantage.
A few OF the Judges intimate friends have
known for some time that he contemplated re-
firing from the bench, and it is believed that the
Governor has been informed of his intentions,
in order that he might be prepared TO fill the
position at once, as it will be necessary for him
to do, because the resignation of Judge Ayres
isto take effect next Wednesday. Nothing
can be learned as to who his successor is likely
to be, but it is believed that Indianapolis
man will be chosen. The resignation of Judge
Ayres will make necessary the election of a new
Judge at the next election, and whoever may be
appointed will. therefore, have less than year

RENTS WILL BE RAISED.
Foreign Owners of Small Houses in Indian
apolis Will Advance Rates Ten Per Cent.

Some of the Eastern insurance and trust COM
panies owning large property here have been
dissatisfied at the returns on their investments.
They say rentals have not justified the outlay
for taxes, insurance and improvements for
several years, and that the statements for 1887
will show no profit. An agent of one of the
companies said last night, Rents have been
ridiculously low, but while other COM
panies are considering the proposition to make
uniform advance in the spring

A VERY DEFECTIVE LAW.
Trustee Many's Opinion of Working Out
Land Tax in Repairing Roads.

Township Trustee Many thinks the Iand-tax
law for keeping up the roads of the township is
about lame as it can we'll be. No satisfactory
service can be had under it from those who at
tempt to work out their tax Farmers will
scratch the roads here and there day or two
and then get receipt for the full amount of their
tax. The roads are no batter and the
road fund is that much short He believes
great Improvements would bs made If the law
required the payment Of all the tax. without
allowing the privilege OF working it out The
township would havs more money, and he could
obtain laborers to do the work expenditure
of 80 per cent. less than is now made for road
purposes. He tells of instances where farmers
having the good will of supervisors, arranged to
meet their tax by hauling gravel to repair
the roads in front of their property
They would go to the gravel bank,
get several loads and then send on bill to the
township for the gravel used, they allowing
their work only as an Offset to the tax. Their
bills ran up to $40 $50 in some cases. He
found this practiced without exception when ma
came into Office, but since then, by requiring
the farmers themselves to pay for the gravel, he
has made saving OF about 81, 900.
