Illinois IN the Convention.


Illinois occupied commanding DO
sition in the Chicago convention
She nominated Cleveland. She nomi-
mated Stevenson. If il can be said
of any state in that convention of states
that it dictated the action of the convep-
ton itself, it can be said of Illinois with
a greater degree of truth tlan OF any
other.
Senator Palmer's journey from Wash
ington to Chicago and his unequivocal
withdrawal of his own candidacy and
support of that of Mr.. Cleveland was the
turning point in the history of the con-
veutiOn. In connection with the action
Of the Missouri delegation N sustaining
the unit rule it rolled back the anti
Cleveland tide which had been rising
around Illinois as central position, and
from which, beaten back. { fell down
too far to rise again, though its rising
YVES heralded and said to be felt by men
with whom the wish was father TO the
thought
The unalterable and unanimous Cleve-
land attitude of both Illinois and Mis-
souri, preceded that of Indiana and con
tributed far more to the great result. 1t
was supposed when the terms Of the al.
legged contract between the Gray and
Cleve.an managers were ann ounced that
the Cleveland strength would be for Gray
for second place. So it would. doubt
less, had such q contract been made. but
the ballot showed that the majority of
the Cleveland supporters looked upon
Illinois as having contributed more MAJ
t.riallV than Indiana to the success of
the Cleveland forces. They looked up
GA it, too, as a greater douo state
than that Of Gray.
In this emergency again. Senator
Palmer was the champion Of his state
Throwing the whole weight Of his per-
sonal and official inf leuce in favor of
Stevenson, he silenced the marplots who
had sought to divide and distract the
councils of Illinois and weaken her iu-
fluence.
The state of Douglas is in line again
for democracy.

TIE appointment of John W. Foster
of Indiana to succeed James G. Blaine
as secretary of state IS strategic
move on the part Of the president. as
well as an insult to the eminent prede-
cessor in charge of that portfolio. 1t
demonstrates the presidents own con-
ception to his weakness in his own state,
and it is al insult to the ex-secretary be-
cause it was Foster whose officiousness
caused Mr. Blaine to throw up his po-
sition.

A sound Platform to stand ON.


The platform adopted by the national
democratic conver ton at Chicago is
sound from top to bottom. Not dollar
is to be raised by taxation beyond the
absolute needs of the government eco
nomicslly administered. 1t costs on the
average $500. 900. 600 annually to main
tain the government, meet the interest
on the public debt. provide pensions for
the soldiers and sailors, and for all other
legitimate purposes. This. in the opin>
ion of Senator Sherman, is sufficient pro
lection. and single dollar levied beyond
this is robbery, nothing more nothing
less. The last congress expended bill
lion Of dollars, and the money thus reck~
lessly taken from the treasury was wrung
from the toiling masses. If the democ-
racy wins the election economy will fol-
low. taxation will be reduced to the
minimum, the duties on the nec-
materially decreased OF freed from toll,
while the means to oefray the needs of
government will be placed on articles Of
luxury. This Is what tariff for revenue
only means. The res olution on this SUBJ
Ject as presented in the majority report.
was pitched in a moderate key, neatly
parrying and puncturng the republican
pretense that the object of protective tax.
alton Is solely to protect domestic labor
against cheaper foreign labor by declsr-
ing the difference in the cost of labor q
proper measure of tariff duty, and that
all exsctions in excess thereof were I'M
just and oppressive. But the convention
was in no temper for any tariff declsrs-
ton falling short of demand for tariff
for revenue only. The minority report.
as the more radical ststeme of the posi-
ton of the party, was substituted by
decisive vote. There is no room for
bubble as the resolution stands. The
repeal of the Mckinley tsriff act is
promised as q consequence of the re-ess
Enlistment of the democracy in the con
troll Of the government, and the substitu-
ton OF actual for sham reciprocity; but
the party is pledged to careful regard
of interests and investments made upon
the faith of federal legislation. The
change from protective to a revenue
policy will be gradually effected, so a. to
revive rather than retard he growth of
legitimate industries.
The platform utters no uncertain tone.
1t contains no strsddle, but speaks bold
" and fesrlesslY for low taxation Thrice
is he armed who hath his quarrel just.
The democracy protests against compell-
ing the many to pay tribute to a lordy
few. They did their work well. The
p 4ttorm was made for T. leader and
the leader is the chosen OF the people.
There need be no fear of the result.

Showed witness copy of letter he had
written to Charles Terrell; witness ao-
v;sed prisoner to leave town; witness
also saw Terrell, and advised him not
TO take any account of what had been
said, as no one believed prisoners state
ments. Saw difficulty between Smooth
and Terrell. Witness never doubted
prisoners sanity; did not doubt his
sanity now.

er's manner changed, and he became
silent and morose, and seemed to be
nervous and strange. Previously he
had been bright and cheerful.
Joseph E. Smootz testified that prison.
er's manner had changed from cheer
fitness to Inoodiness, and was the sub
iect of family talk. Stayed about the
house and>was alone more than usual.
Miss Emma J. Smootz and Miss Alice
Smooth testified TO substantially the
same statements.
Mrs. VIM. Grant SISTER to prisoner ::
Live in Hagerstown; prisoner was al
ways happy and bright; often. came
over; saw change since last August,
when became down hearted and sad.
Did not think he looked right, then.
Had received letter similar to the one
shown cambridge. In letter prisoner
said he would be dead by 7 O'Clock, as
Charles Terrell had given him until that
time TO retract what he had said about
Susie; he would not retract. Witness
acknowledged authorship of letter to
prisoner shown by the State. IN his let
ter to witness he said he wanted God to
bring his worst curses on witness and her
family and on Shows family. Was told
bv Mrs Show he had talked about Su-
sic. but did not believe him.
This practically ended the examina-
ton of the witnesses for the defense, and
the court adjourned until Friday morn
ing.

NOTES.

NOTES.
The plea of the defense is insanity.
Most of the witnesses for the State
were questioned so as to bring out
the statement that the prisoner was
abnormally cool and calm after the
deed had been committed; and Thurs
day all OF the witnesses examined
for the defense testified 70 what they
alleged were peculiar actions OF the
prisoner before the shooting, both ex-
pressing the belief that he was in
sane.
Three stenographers from Washing
ton, Messrs. r. S. Boswell, r. l.. Mil
Ter and o. p. Derby, were present to
report the proceedings for the court.
Their work saves great deal Of time
indeed the trial probably shortened
one-half by reason Of their presence.
On Wednesday twenty-one leading
witnesses were eXamined-a record
that has seldom been equaled in any
court in this section.
The trial as it has been conducted
up to the present time has been q
model one. The Judge presides with
dignity and impartiality and allows
no time to be lost. Counsel OH both
sides handle the witnesses fairly and
kindly. The witnesses have testified
in an unusually intelligent, unequivo-
cal manner, and the jury has been
attentive to every part of the proceed
ings.

The Organized Charities.

The annual meeting of the Indianapolis
Benevolent Society. last night. was n no.
table one. remarkable not only for the
audience who took part in il. but for the
causes presented from the platform. The
speakers represented the best elements of
our business and professional life. 1t is no
light assurance hat the methods of the
circle of charities are sound and it's prac-.
tice intelligent n Conscientious when
such men as occupied the platform last
night are proud to take public part and
testify By word and example. as well as by
their contributions of money, to the esteem
in which they hold the organized charities
of the city.
Some of these gentlemen do far more than
merely appear on the platform of the an
nual meeting. They are rendering faith
full and disinterested service week by
week all the year round. often amid some
discouraRement. caused by apparent fail
ure Of appreciation, or even o~ut-spoken
criticism and opposition. But they may
know that although they are not here men,
toned by name. as the Journal is sure
they would not wish to be. yet the public
is beginning Co yeco gnize. and in time will
fully appreciate the value Of their work
for the public good. and will support it and
