CLEVELAND FIRST; GRAY SECOND
Choice of the Indiana Democrats; Every.
thing Republican Roundly Abused.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 21.-One of
the history of Indiana convened in this
city this afternoon. Every county in the
state was represented by full delega-
ton and 5000 enthusiastic Democrats
crowded the galleries. All the leading
Democrats in the state were in atten-
dance. The convention was called to or
der by Chairman Taggart of the state
central committee. There were loud
cheers when the committee ON perna-
nent organization reported United States
Senator Turpie as chairman and Senator
VOORHEES,, Hugh Dougherty, Charles L.
Jewett and Samuel t, Morse as delegates
at large to the national convention. The
platform arraigns the administration of
President Harrison for it's subserviency
to the interests of the money power
which created it and its indifference to
the welfare of the people; for its brazen
violation of its solemn pledges to the
country to elevate and purify the public
service; for its shameless prostitution
of the public patronage to the vilest par
tisan purposes as illustrated by the sale
of a cabinet Office to John Wanamaker,
and by the employment of the pension
bureau as a party machine, and by the
promotion of Wm A. Woods to higher
post in the federal judiciary as a reward
for his service in saving the "blocks of
five'' conspirators from the penitentiary;
for its contemptuous reputation or its
promises to the veteran soldiers of the
Union; for its wicked attempt to fasten
upon the country the odious and un-
American force bill, intended to deprive
Ia MO 30 10 +l1.,
own elections; for it's weak and demagog-
ical foreign policy, which has exhibited
the American government to the world
as bully toward the feeble and truck
ler to the powerful. 1t condemns the So
called reciprocity policy as a transparent
attempt to impose upon the American
people the shadow of commercial free
dom for its substance, in order to perpet-
uate the existing system of licensed spoil
iation for the benefit of trusts and mon
opolies, which are the chief support of
the Republican party. The platform de-
clares: "We believe that there should
be kept in constant circulation full and
sufficient volume of money consisting of
gold, silver and legal tender paper cur
rency at par with each other" 1t favors
Cleveland for the presidency, and ex-
Governor Gray as second choice. J. d.

vention, he said, without hesitation:
ooh, it will be Cleveland
''The fact is" continued Mr.. Depew,
s'the Democratic masses throughout the
country think that they see in Mr. Cleve-
land their ideal candidate. They believe
