Indiana for Cleveland.
Indiana staatszeitung, March 20


The StadtSzeit,tny publishes the follow
ing article of THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL
of Yesterday WITH great satisfaction, be-
cause we approve every word of it. The
.Naats5eitling has made the same observa-
ton in relation to the presidential candi-
dacy in the state as The SENTINEL, and it
is its firm opinion that the estimate given
bv THE SENTINEL, according TO which 10
per cent. of the democrats of Indiana are
for Cleveland, is rather too low than too
high According to our observation there
are 90 per cent of the democrats in In
diana for Cleveland. For that reason the
Stdutszeihmq heartily joins in the urgent
request to Governor Gray, whom the edi-
tor of the Stddtsseitlng always on account
of former relations holds in the highest
esteem, to give up his candidacy, which
bv no means can be successful, and to
make an end to the confusion which his
candidacy has already caused here in In
diana. The SENTINEL does not say too
much when it says Gray owes this to him.
self and to the party by which he has
always been highly honOred.

a Home Thrust

Our good friend, Col J. b. Stoll, has got
mad clear through. He seems fairly hep
atized throughout. He ought to know
that it is the common opinion that his
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland had it's origin
in his failure to secure the Office OF public
printer. No one or two persons thought
or said so, but everybody seemed to think
so, and does so now The colonel ought
not to get angry and call people her
maphrOdites, numskulls, Anticipated liars,
political asses and harlots, with neither
manliness sense or ability, ignorant falsi-
fiers, designing liars, authors and dissem-
inators of political tlapdoodle, assassins of
character, prevaricators OF facts distOrters
OF history, knaves, scoundrels, and fool
friends of Mr.. Cleveland" what a hOrri-
BILE ness as he does IN very brief space in
an editorial in the Times of the 2Sth. File,
fie, Colonel You have lost your grip. No
one would ever have thought that the
logical, courteous, dignified, scholarly Col.
StOll, who was advocated, and prided
himself on the avoidance OF such methods
in newspapers, had any such stuff in him
far less that he would put it In his paper.
Charley Reeve used to tell a story of q
fellow who slipped on banana peel and
fell. He got up and swore while he had
breath. \ Quaker standing looking at
him when he stopped, said: keep, on
friend, until thee gets all that bad stuff
out OF thee" Go out in the barn, Colonel,
and let il run until you get it all out, and
it will not hurt you. Ii you put it in the
Times ii certainly Will.

wise machine that knows when to get into
the band wagon when the public is de-
termined TO drive. l hear good deal of
talk about il being unwise to nominate
Cleveland, because if he couldn't be re-
elected when in office he certainly
couldn't when out of it. Yet the people
who make those arguments forget two
things-(1) Cleveland won originally when
the republicans had been in office twenty
years. % His being in office didn't help
MIN, because he wouldn't use the patron
age to help himself. Then there was
lot OF disappointed politicians who didn't
vote for him the last time because they
wanted little relief for their feelings. At
the same ,ime-and mark this-had they
had any doubt of his reelection you
couldn't have kept one of them away from
the polls"

The mn Mems scheme.
fKendailville News

The scheme of certain Hill men in
Indiana to select delegates to Chicago who
are opposed to the nomination oil Mr..
Cleveland but who will go to Chicago
dressed up in fine Gray clothes, will not
succeed in deceiving the great body of
democratic voters OF Indiana. 1t was not
quite clear TO the Old tried friends of
Governor Gray why certain prominent
democratic statesmen, who have been
heretofore opposed TO Mr.. Gray, should
become converted TO his cause since the
recent indignation toward Hills New
York machine methods. but it is quite
clear to the democratic voters and dele
gates now, since the scheme has been
exposed. The article appearing in the
Banner few weeks ago, signed by Thomas
Jefferson, Jr., but written by a Fort
Wayne statesman, advocating the nom
ination OF Isaac Pusey Gray, will be better
understood when it is known that it's
author is pronounced Hill man and was
never heretofore counted as one of Gov
ernor Grav's friends. The true democrats,
who think there is something at stake
besides spOilS and Offices, should watch
these recent converts to Mr.. Grays cause.

INDIANA AND THE PRESIDENCY
The Irresistible Cleveland Movement.
[Greencasile star-Press.


The Cleveland movement is gaining
strength and momentum very rapidly,
and the indications are that all other
aspirants for the democratic presidential
nomination will be side-tracked. In lndl-
ana there has been unexpected declara-
tons favoring Cleveland's candidacy in
the past ten days-county conventions
have instructed for him; prominent demo-
Gratis have publicly announced their sup
port OF him, and on Monday THE SENTINEL
published an editorial advising Governor
Gray to withdraw from the race, as il was
evident that democratic. opinion in lndi-
ana was overwhelmingly in, favor OF Cleve-
land. These facts in regard to Indiana
seem equally true of all other states, so
far as expression is heard, and If the
drift continues Cleveland will be nomi-
mated, possibly by reclamation. Ii Cleye-
land is TO be the democratic candidate,
good sense and good politics make it adj
vlsable to put him on platform of fact
without Worcestershire platform should
consist of q preamble setting forth the
wrongs the people suffer by reason OF the
Mckinley tariff, and one resolution de-
handing its repea. and the adoption OF
tariff measure for purely revenue pur.
poses. This preamble and resolution
should be couched in plain language; IL
should be brief. and with no possible OPP
portunity for conflicting interpretations.
With Cleveland and Gray, or Cleveland
and Boies. or Cleveland and Villas, as the
democratic national ticket, and with the
platform herein indicated. democracy will
be sure to triumph next November, and
the victory will be- emphasized by grand
maiorities in both the popular and elect
oral votes.

BAD FOR WOODS.
Adverse Sentiment of the Chicago Bar
Judge Gresham Leaves the City.

CHICAGO. April 5.-Judge Woods of Indian
apolis, who was recently confirmed in his
nomination to the L. S. circuit court, may
think that he has been snubbed when he
arrives in Chicago tomorrow morning prepared
to sit in Judge Gresham's court and hear
chancery cases. There are no chaucery cases
ready to hear and the judge will be met by an
empty court room if he ascends the bench. AS
late as Friday notice was printed in the news
papers that Judge Woods would be here TO-
morrow to hear chancery cases, but up to the
time the u. 5. courts closed this evening not
one case had been filed as is customary for
hearing tomorrow. One explanation of the
failure OF the attorneys TO put their cases on
the calendar for hearing is that the notice was
altogether too short for them to prepare their
cases. But 1t was remarked by mauy around
the government building that II was very
strange out of the great number OF chancery
cases pending not one has been put on Judge
Woods call Some of the leading lawyers Of
the Chicago bar openly fought Judge Woods
confirmation at the time his case was pending
before the senate, and much bitterness OF feel
ing was manifested. some Of the lawyers pub
hcly declaring Judge Woods 10 be unit
lawyer TO try certain cases particularly cases
involving intricate patent rights II IS thought
that some of these gentlemen intend TO admin
lister a rebuke to Judge Woods by ignoring his
presence here.
Judge Gresham left the city yesterday and
went to Indiana, where il is said he would
remain until after Judge Woods had finished
the hearing OF cases in Chicago.

Piss the Houors Around.
TLapOrte Argus


The state OF Indiana is full of good. faith
full, sensible, eloquent and influential
democrats VINO do not hold honorable office
at the hands of their party, mainly because
there are not positions enough 10 go
around. There are scores OF these men
who would make excellent representatives
of the party in the national convention,
and it would seem to be the part Of wis
dom and party fairness to select the
delegates for the state at large from
their ranks. There is no valid reason
why men already holding place should
have these additional honors thrust
upon them. 1t would be the fair and
judicious thing all around to select the
state delegates from representative men
outside OF office. Let us suppose, for in
stance, that such a newspaper representa-
tive as the editor of THE INDIANAPoLIs
SENTINEL. and such a representative of
the manufacturing interests OF the state rs
John Bass of Fort Wayne, be selected,
with associates of like high character and
fitness from other callings or professions.
Can anybody say it would not be right
and fair to all concerned? And can any
body doubt that it would be good politics?
In case an emergency should arise where
men of greater political prominence would
be demanded it is quite possible that
proxy could be used to meet the require
ment. Our vote goes for passing the hon
ors around

Watch the Delegstes.


In this state the candidate for delegate
to the democratic national convention
who says he is for Gray first, last and all
the time, and absolutely refuses to init
mate who he is Tor for second choice,
needs watching. Nine times out of ten it
will be found he will support man for
second choice that the people do not in
dorse. and he knows it. 1t Is right that
democratic delegates should support Gray,
but it is also right that the party should
know who the delegates would support
should Gray not be successful. Let there
be no deception in the matter. Demo-
Gratis of this district should know who
they are selecting for delegates, and also
that they will represent their feelings
when selected. This is a matter shat
should be watched closely when delegates
are selected at Indiana polls in April.

The PRESS ON JUDGE WOODS.
Never Was the Ermino So sulIisd.


Finally Woods was confirmed as one of
the circuit judges, but not until his char
acter was held up to the execration of the
American people. 1t was not supposed
that any amount of exposure would intu-
ence the republican majority ofthe senate
to vote against him. HarrisOns present
and immediate interests demanded that
the protector of the villiany that enabled
him to reach the white house should not
be discarded at this time. To have re-
fused TO confirm his nomination would
virtually have cast suspicion upon the
title by which Harrison holds his position.
This the republican senators would not
do. However much they may have dis
liked to swallow the nauseating dish, they
knew they must do it. Those senators
hesitated and parleyed and gagged, and
finally BY very close partisan vote con-
firmed him. Never was judicial ermine
so sullied as in this act of the senate.

All for Cleveland.

A personal canvass of the county in the
interest of the Star develops the fact that
the sentiment of the whole democratic
party is for the denomination OF Cleve-
land. Along in the same channel Of
enlightened public opinion is a pro-
nounced choice for Voorhees, Brookshire
for congress. In both men the people
have the utmost faith. In both men the
people believe that their liberties and
rights are safely held. The efforts OF pro-
fessiona politicians to thwart the popular
choice by the defeat OF the one or tho
other can only result in tidal wave of
rebuke

Struck "A Responsive Chord.


The declaration of THE INDIANAPOLIS
SENTINEL that an investigation showed so
large percentage of Indiana democrats in
favor of the nomination of Cleveland and
calling on Ex-Governor Gray not to stand
in the way of a frank and fearless express
sion of the popular will has struck a
responsive chord, and the popular senti-
ment is now being voiced very freely. Ii
Grover Cleveland Is the choice OF the
democracy of the state he ought to have
the votes of the delegates from Indiana.
We think there is scarcely any doubt that
nine-tenths OF the rank and file of the
party in this state are for him. A major
ity of the protested politicians may have
been opposed to him but it will not long
be so. The politician is quick to read the
handwriting on the wall.
