THE PLATFORM.
Violating Ambiguous About the DeIiv-

There is nothing ambiguous about the
platform adopted 10y the democratic state
convention last week. From lhe open

which has become a vital principle of the
party.
In indorsing the repeal Of the sherman

takes a stand for genuine bimetalllsm

and without disparity. and for the adop-
ton of such Legislation as viii give 10
the Two metals an equal power in the
market at all times, the party pledges its
support
The administration Of President Cleve-
land and Governor Matthews are in
dorsed in unmistaka5le terms. and the
work of the democratic congress and
state legislature IS approved. In declar-
ing for the election Of sena tors by popu-
lar vote the convention has taken a
great step forward
Reviewing state legislation the cOnven-
tion found much TO approve The record
of the party in indiana has been a
splendid one. and in pointing out the re-
forms enacted by the legislature the plat
form presents good ana forceful argu-
ments for continued democratic suprem-
acv i'm state affairs.
The platform does not mince words i'm

There is nothing of fustian about the
declaration for "a fuller recognition Of

against mob violence and for the up
holding of the law viii appeal 10 every
right-minded citizen.
The platform declares for generous
pensions for old soldiers. and reiterates
the demand for a liberal appropriation
for a state home for disabled veterans.
on the whole. il IS admirable plat
form and one upon which the democrats
can appeal TO the people. confident that
an intelligent public will give its in

Not in Touch with the People.

The measure of the distance the senate
has drifted away from the people may
be realized by the contrast now pre-
scented between the position of the demo
cratic senators and the sentiment of their
constituents. There is not a senator
standing up for the trust and protection
grabs in the German bill who could jus
tffy his conduct before an assembly of
democrats. The course of the senate ma
iority is a revelation to the people. il
shows how dangerous it is % have a
branch Of the legislature removed from
popular control and how far such a body
can drift away from sympathy with
popular sentiment.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

Foolish Claim of coIored voters.

Men should hold office because they

than black man Office should go TO
him, and vice versa. The true interest

as any distinct portion of It. The claim,
therefore. Of cOlored men to be elected
TO Office because they are colored, while
1t may benefit. few aspirants for such
