POLITICAL NOTES.

JUDGE GRESHAM is now spoken of as Illinois

New YORK Sun: The movement to nominate

the opinion that ne viii not be the candidate of

BosToN Journal: It has only happened once in
the last fifty years that the Democratic party
has renominatei a candidate for the presidency.
The exception was Van Buren,, who was renomi-
mated in IS40. and tremendously beaten. This
is painful precedent for Mr.. Cleveland to con-
slider.

cratic nomination for Governor There is a
gentleman by the name of Ballard. up in Fort
Collins, who is hold-over Senator; he wants a
slice of the Democratic turkey, this year. and
he wants it off the breast.
New York Evening Post: The Depew boom is
one of the most curious developments of the
presidential canvass to date. To propose for the
highest Office in the land man devoid of expe-
rience in lower offices would be of itself sufi-
GENTLY odd. but to propose such a man when he
is the head of great corporation. in the present
temper of the public mind, almost passes COM

LOUISVILLE Commercial: Ex-senator Nc
Donald is clean in his political as in his pri-
v.te methods. No one has a stronger hold up
on the decent voters of his party than he; but
he has lost because he refused to descend to the
Gray level of bummersm. The old statesman

Gray and did not attend the State convention.
It is open declaration OF war, and Senator
Voorhees,, whose seat will be vacant two years
hence, will join the opposition to the Governor
1t will consolidate those who have hated but
feared Gray, and the whole mess will lose Indi-
ana to the Democrats, unless truce is patched
up.
PHILADELPHIA Press: One-half of the Re-
publican State conventions will meet between
the Sth and 23d of May, the North Carolina con-

four hours to-day; that his temperature is al
most normal, and his sense of taste has re-

his food is regarded as an exceptionally favora-

even asks for certain kinds of food. He has
begun again to hear reports from state officials.
His physicians agree in the opinion that the
crisis of his disease has passed.
DR.. Mackenzie has autographed the British

and the discharges from which he has suffered ;"
Queen Victoria took an affectionate farewell
of the Emperor. She expressed to him her
qualification at receiving so cordial welcome
from the people of Berlin. The Kaiser said
that he hoped to see the Queen again in better
times, and under more favorable circumstances.
In addition to a host of royalties, the Queen
found at the station the Burgomaster and the
members of the Municipal Council of Chariot
tenburg. who had come attired in their official
robes to pay their respects to her Majesty.
The Grown Prince introduced them to the
Queen, who expressed her cordial thanks for
the kindly welcome that had been extended to
her by the inhabitants. The Crown Prince then
conducted the Queen to a saloon carriage, the
Empress accompanying them, carrying splen-

THE BErEvoLBNr INSTITUTIONS.

1dh 6EH6NOG6N1
The Democratic party has struck its flag
before going into action. The platform
drafted yesterday is tame and spiritless, and
is chiefly remarkable for it's omissions. Re-
garding matter which has been agitating
the minds of the people of Indiana for two
long years, viz, reform in the management
of our benevolent institutions, it has not one
word to say. Is the question too trivial for
consideration Has the conduct of it's own
representatives been such that it can afford to
pass by these iniquities in silencea Does not
its own organ declare. that a non-partisan
government of these institutions is impera-
lively demanded Was not its own Governor
driven by public indignation to attempt the
removal of the men who had prosti-
tuted a sacred trust, and did
not the Sentinel declare that his
action was dictated by the best interests of
the State? Is there any question that has
the people9 Thousands of Democrats have
been looking for a reform of these acknowl-
edged abuses, within the lines of their own
party, and the people of Indiana, without re-
gard to party, have been awaiting the time
when these money changers who traffic upon
the calamities Of the helpless insane should
be scourged from the temple of our State
charities These men know now that they
have nothing to hope for from the Democratic
party. Reform, if it is to be had at all, must
be secured by overthrowing that party, as well
as its guilty representatives. Every citizen
of Indiana who has wife, a mother, OF a
friend hidden behind the walls from which no
voice is now permitted to come, has at last
found out that no immunity from negligent
and brutal costodians is to be hoped for so
long as the Democratic party remains in
power.

agement, was to be seen the portly form of

puryeyor of oleomargarine and maggoty but
ter, was the choice of majority of the dele
gates in this congressional district as its rep
resentative in the Democratic national con-
vention, and voluntarily withdrew his name
at the last moment in the interest of Demo
cratic harmony"
If any man, with knowledge of these
facts, votes the Democratic ticket this year,
his action will be silent but positive in
dorsement of every atrocity which has been
committed, and perpetuation of all that may
occur hereafter.
But retrlbution is sure to follow III the
footsteps of this cowardly silence. This ques-
ton will not down, and the party which at
tempts to smother it is sure to fall. With a
clean ticket and an honest platform the sue
cess of the Republican party in Indiana is as
certain as the sunrise.
