thought the people of the state should be
satisfied for the present with what had
been secured after much trouble and not
criticize so freely. If the people did not
desert the true principles OF the party
it would yet give them bill that would
be satisfactory. but this would take some
time.
Not n Man Lost.
Chairman Edward w. Felt of Hancock
county said that the democrats had not
lost man in his county and there was
no dissatisfe ction of any kind All the
party was working together and the vote
would be as heavy as during the last
presidential election.
The Eighth District.
Committeeman Mann of the Eighth re-
ported everything in excellent shape in his
district. He spoke of the mining troubles
in Sullivan county and said they would
not cost the democratic party a vote, as
the miners all recognized the fact that
the principles Of the democratic party
were the only ones that would operate
to their advantage in securing for them
cheaper food and articles Of clothing.
This was as good as an advance in the
scale.
Mr. Mann was followed by Chairman
Samuel Clark Of Fountain county. Mr..
Clark is one of the old and tried workers
of the party in Fountain county and
knows just how things are going down
there in politics. He said that while the
county was close, the democrats would
carry il this fall without a doubt Edi-
tor Douglass Of the same county spoke
in the same strain.
Mr.. Minis of Montgomery.
Chairman Mills of Montgomery county
mentioned the large convention that had
been held in the county and inferred
from this that there was no lack of en-
thusiasm upon the part of the democrats.
Republicans were loud in their talk and
bravadO in the county and a few demo-
Gratis had at first been temporarily
silenced by their loud talk. but this had
all gone by. Said he: The democratic
party is the party of the people; it is the
constitutional party and the honest
party. There are more democrats in the
state of Indiana than there are repub-
leans. and if The democrats will turn out
this fall to a man the state will be car
ried by a large majority
w. II. Johnson of Montgomery county,
eX-chairman of the county committee,
called attention to the gains that the
party had been making in his county.
having carried it for the first time since
1876. In addition to this the republican
majority in Charlottesville had been cut
down 100 and the members of the party
were aroused as never before. They have
been so abused by the republicans that
they have turned and now nothing can
keep them from the polls.
Frank 4. HOrner.
Frank A Horner of Clay county was
the next speaker. He remarked that
while Clay contained half of all the min
ers in the state, there was no cause to
be alarmed on account of the situation
in that county The republicans had
made a woeful failure of persuading the
miners that the democratic party was
the cause Of the strike troubles. lie
considered that the worst calamity that
could befall the miners was for the state
TO fall into the hands of the republican
party, and no one knew this better than
the miners. They remembered when
they had been driven in droves to the
polls before the democratic party gave
them the Australian ballot system. and
now they could vote for their opinions
without fear or favor The democratic
party had nothing to be ashamed OF in
the state of Indiana and could point with
the greatest degree of pride to its record
in the past. No apologies were neces-
sary. Clay county was all right, and If
the rest of the state was in the same
situation there would be a rOusing ma
jority given the democratic ticket.
sullivan County.
c. W. Welman of Sullivan county said
he had never doubted that the demo-
cratic party would carry the state and
he still maintained the utmost conf
dence in its victory this fall. Every
thing pointed toward a democratic vic
tory Notwithstanding the empty howl
ings of the republicans. AS TO Sullivan
county, there had been some trouble,
but the miners Of Sullivan county were
as good democrats as ever and would
heartily support the ticket. Those men
are as good citizens as we have in the
state" said Mr.. Welman. They have
been abused and imposed upon and
grossly misrepresented in the newspa-'
pers. They have been suffering, with
their families in actual want, and all
this caused by others than themselves.
They are honest, law-abiding citizens
and will assist I'm giving Sullivan county
a majority of 1.5e0 for the democratic
ticket
The Ninth District.
Committeeman Blackstock of the Ninth
district said that while the district was
heavily republican the democrats were
alive and active and there was no dis
satisfaction apparent anywhere. There
was no cause for encouragement so far
as the Ninth was concerned. The ma
tional affairs were shaping themselves
after long delay and this, added to the
proud record Of the party in the state,
could not help but arouse the democrats
to victory.
Senator Brown of Clinton county re-
marked that the democratic party could
go before the people upon the income
tax alone and would deserve victory at
their hands. Nor was this all. He
pointed with pride to the reform laws
passed by the democracy of Indiana, all
of which had been in the interest of the
mass of the people.
Capt. D. F. Allen Of Clinton dwelt
upon the record of the democratic party
in the state Said he: II could do no
better than point to the platform of the
Clinton county democracy. We are
proud that we are democrats down there
We point with pride to the reforms ac-
comp1ished by the democratic legisla-
ture of Indiana"
The Tenth District.
VI. NJ. Hathaway of the Tenth district
made one of the most pleasant addresses
of the day and was loudly applauded
He said the democrats of the Tenth were
all big-hearted, good fellows and liked
TO shake each other by the hand. They
would elect a congressman in the district
as sure as election day came around and
were only anxious for the day TO come
so tllev could do it. While they wanted
a more radical measure passed by con-
greSs. they were thankful for what had
been given them and were satisfied with
mild tariff bill, the income tax meas
ure and the repeal of the federal cleo
lions law. All were working together,
and when election day came around they
would walk up TO the polls. arm in arm,
