VIII BE HIS Own Successor

There is no denying this fact, that the
Hon. David Turpie has made an accepts-
bic representative in the senate of the
United States SO Jar as concerns the demo-
cratic party of Indiana. No more gentle
manly or scholarly person occupies seat
in that dignifed body. He is a credit and
an honor to any state. There is no reason
whv he should not be his own successor
when the legislature assemblies next win
ter, if the democratic party has the Op-
portunity to re-elect him.

Grover Cleveland has three-fourths of
the twenty-six delegates to the national

committee called the convention to order
promptly at II o'clock and urged the dele
gates to be harmonious. conciliatory and
conservative in the action Of the day. He
said:

Tho People Want CIevolRnd.
columbia CITY Post.

The people still want Cleveland for
president. With him as the democratic
standard bearer the party could make a
campaign that would far exceed anything
in the history of the government There
would be but one issue and that one would
be of such vital importance that all else
would be forgotten. Republicans are
ready to admit that Cleveland is the only
man in the democratic party who is at all
dangerous to their success His record is
such that it cannot be questioned and
much of their campaign thunder would be
taken from them by his nomination.

Great Dem ocratic Reforms.

The declaration OF the democratic state
platform on questions of local concern
very properly approved all the reforms
that have been inaugurRted and put in
force by the democracy of the state dur
ing the last four years. The democratic
party is not ashamed of its work since
1885, and it believes that the people of
Indiana will vindicate it by returning an
other democratic legislature and demo-
cratic state administration.

The Republican Conspiracy.

1t has been learned by an investigation
of the facts that forty counties in Indiana,
under republican control, have increased
local taxes over a million dollars as COM
pared with former years. OF course, every
body knows why this was done. Local
burdens were made heavy with view of
creating a prejudice against the new tax
law. Those in authority in these counties
will be held responsible for the needless
burdens they have imposed upon the
people

a Grand Nan.
[Lawrenoeburg Register

Grover Cleveland is grand man. He
possesses firmness, power and strength of
mind, honesty of purpose and fidelity to
duty in a remarkable degree. Such a
man is bound to create and hold the re-
spect and allegience of his party and Ill
timately of the nation. He compares
favorably with the statesmen of old. He
possesses all the qualities necessary for q
just and wise ruler, and if he cannot lead
the democratic party to victory in '92. in
our humble opinion they deserve no vic
tory.

The democratic congress is making an
