A Plea for Harmony Made by sn Admirer
of Isaac Pusey Gray.
Shelby Democrat
A few days ago the Democracy of Indiana.
by its authorized epresentatives--the State
executive committee-realizing that the
Indianapolis Sentinel was creating dissen-
tion in the party which was calculated to
endanger Democratic victory this fall and
disrupt the party, entered into an
agreement. deal. with that paper
wherein the Democracy agreed to per-
NIT Sam MOrss, its editor, to 60
to the Chicago convention as an anti-Gray
delegate. provided the aforesaid editor
would thenceforth edit the Sentinel in the
interest of the Indiana Democracy. In
other words. the Democracy pure hased the
so-called State organ for o consideration.
By that agreement it was understood that
the delegation to the Chicago convention.
was to go instructed for Governor Gray.
and it was tacltly understood that the
Sentinel was 10 advocate the selec.
tion of Gray delegation. and stop
its damphool ranting In the divided sent,-
ment IN the State. Now it Is taking ad-
vantage of the technical wording of the
resolution agreed upon as an excuse for
abrOgatng the terms of the agreement and
the doing of the very thing It was hired
not to do. The object OF the conference
and agreement was to secure harmony Ia
the party by stopping the warfare which
the Sentinel had instigated against
Governor Gray. For this purpose
the Democracy, at great sacrifice
of Judgment, agreed to let sam Morss 60 TO
the Chicago convention as a delegate and
pretend tnat he has the interest of the
party at heart the same as Democrats who
brought about this supposed compromise
and purchase of the main disor rganiZer. Hav.
ing obtained promise from the party that
be should be made delegate at largo without
opposition. he has turned traitor TO the party
and betrayed the confidence reposcd in him.
He now seeks. by every word and act.
to create dissention in the party and TO de-
feat the purposes of the agreement entered
into. These facts being true. the Demcc-
racy is under nc obligation TO keep its
promise TO put him on the delegation. and
it should not stultify itself by so doing.
The committee on organization should not
include the name of any man who seeks
only to disrupt the party. A purchased
Democrat is of little value 10 the purchaser
anyway. Put men on the delegation who
court harmony and success Instead of dis
sention and defeat
