INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 21.-In the
democratic convention to-day the portrait
of Gray, which was suspended above the
stage, began to swing probably impolled by
slight draughts Of air and finally turned
with the face to the wall and rested in that
position.
Instantly there was wild yell OF applause
from the Cleveland men who regarded this
as an omen of the retirement of Gray from
the presidential race. Frantic attempt,
were made by the Gray mon to restore the
picture to its original position, but it per-
sisted in repeatedly swinging back with the
face to the wall.
While the attempts were being made to
preserve the Gray portrait la position, an
other draught OF air caught Cleveand's por-
trait and it, too, began to swing to one
side. Immediately there were dsafening
cries of delight from the Gray men, but the
portrait only swung half way round and
stopped facing the ladies' gallery. Then
there was another enthusiastic Cleveland
demonstration
The nomination of q candidate for gov
ernor being in order, John G.. Shenklin,
Mnson J. Niblack, Mortimer Nye and
Claude Matthews of Citation were placed in
nomination, the latter az "the farmers can
didste." Matthews was nominated on the
first ballot and his nomination was made
unanimous.
Mortimer Nye was nominated for lieuten-
an..governor on the second ballot. The re-
mainder of the ticket was then nominated
hy acclamaticn, and the convention ad.
journed.
Claude Matthews, the nominee for COVER
nor, has always been'a democrat and never
engaged in any other business than that OF
farming. He is a member of the Farmers
Mutual Benefit association and ia expected
TO receive great support from the agricul-
tural organizations.

Concerning All of Us by Thomas Went
worth Higginson. Col. Higginson is a
reformer and man of pronounced views
on modern short comings and errors and
methods of advance and improvement
but he is so well bred, cultured and ele-
giant in his writings that the reader mis-
takes almost the sugar coated pill for a
sugar plum. Perhaps just as it is down
touch of bitter makes him think it
may be good for him instead of cloying
in effect. The little friendly talks in this
small volume embrace variety of
themes. All are havorsome, and seasoned
with touches of wit. They deal with
women and so-called society-his tone
toward the former being quite different
to that of prominent English divine,
who referring to the attendance upon a
certain lecture, mentioned carelessly that
it consisted of women. children and that
sort of thing" New York: Harper and

board may refuse to examine them if
they see fit, or if they consent may charge
the city for the work.
Really this action of the Board of AL
dermen though protesting to be under
the law, is not under the law at all. 1t
is simply a regulation which the Board
had just as much right to make before
the law was passed as it does now. The
Aldermen have always had the power to
say that the refusal OF inability of man
to get certificate of physical soundness
from a reputable physician, or to answer
certain questions satisfactorily, should be
sufficient cause for his removal. And that
is what they have said now. Any three
men might have been selected with just
as much legality DIS the three men who
compose the police examin ng board,
and they would have been under just as
much obligation to act as the po-
lice board and no more We
have no fault to lind with the
new regulation, provided the intention
is to enforce it fairly against all
alike. We arc inclined to think it
is wise to have occasional examina-
tons OF the police force to see whether
or not their physical or mental con-
dltion has deteriorated so as to dis
quaiily them for the duties incumbent
upon them. And if that is all that the
administration proposes then we cordially
approve this new regulation. But
the suspicion is abroad that this
is not all OF it, and that there are
politics in it. In short that this is
the beginning of scheme to
turn policemen out who are Republicans
and fill their places with Democrats. If
that suspicion is correct, this new rule
will inevitably be followed by the abro-
CATION or modification of Rule XIII
which provides that successful candi-
dates before the police board shall be
divided into grades, according to their
relative standing, and no candidate can
be certified for appointment from lower
grade, until the higher grades have been
exhausted. While this rule remains it
will be practically impossible to pack the
police force with men of one party, unless
the police examining board is willing to
act dishonesty, which is not to be as
sumed. The public will watch the future
action of the Board of Aldermen in this
matter with good deal of interest.
