whom the people OF this country can

Long before the fall elections the Wilson
bill viii have been passed and its heue-
fetal effect will already be operating.
The country viii have seen that the
democratic party can pass a tariff re-
form measure; mills throughout The land
will be running. factory fires viii be
burning, workmen will be- busy and the
country viii be coming out from under
the burden Of war taxation. Democrats
in Indiana are not discouraged; the re-
publcans have been making the most
noise, but this will long since have died
into a murmur before the day Of the
election arrives. We cannot be intimi-
dated by little .bravado."
The second District.
Committeeman Buslirk Of the Second
was represented by Perry Mozart OF
orange county. He said that so far as
Orange county was concerned the demo-
Gratis would carry it this year for the
first time in twelve years. and this was
but an instance Of the condition exist
ing throughout the Second district. Demo-
Gratis were too we'll read upon current

calamity -howIers and would come out to
a man and support the ticket. The demo-
cratic party had a record not only in
national. but state legislation that it
could well be proud of. and this had en-
deared 1t 10 the body Of the voters
There was no detection to be feared in
any part Of the Second district.
Eli Inman also spoke for the Second
district. He assured the members Of
the committee that the Second would
roll its old-ttme majority and elect its
congressman. In the campaign the state
issues should not be forgotten and the
noble work Of the democratic party in
Indiana should not be smothered up.
Voters Of the state should recOllect the
school book law. the Australian ballot
law, the mechanics lien law and thet
tax issue so recently Won FOR the state.
These We're but part of the valuable
measures secured to the state by the
leaders of the democratic party
The democratic voters Of the state
were not going to forget these bless
ings. They recognized that the party
was that Of the body Of the people and
the principles advocated We're those
which appealed directly to the interests
of the masses. While legislation had
been delayed the principles Of the party
were too well established in their hearts
TO allow them TO depart from them. The
party would not be sacrificed on accoung
Of a mere misfortune.
Editor Boyd of the Washington Demo-
Graf spoke of the situation in Davies
county, assuring the committee that

PEELED to leave that party four years
ago on account of its ubiquitous tariff
plicy was next called upon and spoke
vigorously and eloquently. In closing
he said:
1.-The democratic party is the party Of
the people and when you talk Of the peo-
pies party outside Of the democratic par
" you are guilty of fallacy because The
people stand inside of the democratic
party.
Newspapers have expressed a great
deal of impotence and ] think i'm some
ty an injury by not discriminating.
THE republican party two months ago
thought they had a boom: now. it is about
half a boom or a kind of a bOOmlet; and
we are going to make it a boomerang be-
fore we get through with them"

to win. Let us put a good ticket in the
field and i believe the people are with
US"
AttOrney-GeneraI Smith.
Acknowledgement Smith made vigor-
Gus address and was heartily applauded
as he sat down. In closing he said:
1.-The democratic party Of today is the
party Of 1872 The party of today is the
party Of Tilden in 1876 and the party Of
this day is the party that went down in
terrible defeat under the leadership or
Hancock in 1880. and arose again under
the leadership of that valiant statesman,
Grover Cleveland. in 1884. 1t is the
party again repulsed in 1888 by the Dud-
ley methods, which placed in the presi-
Dental chair man who said some three
weeks ago that the government must
support its citizens and furnish employ
ment for them, and that the state, cOun-
~ and municipality should do this;
whereas it is the duty Of the people 10
support the government according to the
principles of the democratic party. And
the democratic party Of today is the
party that but two years ago led the
column of victorious patriots against the
republican party from Maine 10 Oregon
and won a victory unsurpassed in the
history of political parties. With this
record is there any reason for the demo-
cratic party to lay down now and have
dust thrown in its eyes?"
John w. Kern.
John w. Kern spoke for ten minutes
and closed as follows: II want to say to
you now that there is no room for the
democrats to be discouraged in my judg-
ment. The democratic party is in much
better condition now than it has been at
many times in the past. Take 1856. for
instance, there was then much disappoint-
ment on account Of appointments; then
every democrat in the country, after hav-
ing done twenty-five years hard, honest
labor, thought that he should be re-
waTded. There were more men seeking
positions in Washington in June, 1855.
than there were a week after the inaug-
uration last year. So we have fewer
purely personal disappointment than
then. The condition generally. was
very much worse in 1856 and the
republicans were confident of victory
We could see nothing then to encourage
us and yet when the votes were counted
out that year the republicans in Indiana
only had a plurality of about 1900
Issues are now sharply defined. Then
we had no record in the state and as
we now have. No party in any state
has a prouder record than the dem
ocratic party of Indiana. All the reforms
which have been instituted must be ac-
credited to the democratic party"

Members of the committee and gentle
men present: This meeting has been
called for the purpose of talking over the
situation III Indiana and preparing our
selves for the campaign which will soon
be upon us, and on that point / would be
pleased to hear from the different dis
tricts in Indiana as their numbers shall
be called"
Governor Matthews.
Mr.. Taggart then called upon Cover
nor Matthews, who responded TO the
effect that he came down TO listen rather
than to talk and with some anxiety TO
hear from the several congressional dis
tricts. There were those present who had
a more enlightened idea of the situation
than he had. Il believe today" he con-
tinued, that the conditions are better
than they We're three weeks ago, We are
gaining ground every day. The condi-
tons are more hopeful, and with the end
of the long delay in sight we have some
thing to show to the people that will APP
peal directly to their interests. as it viii
show them that the principles of the
democratic party are in accord with their
. prosperity.
Secretary of State Myers.
Secretary of State Myers was next
called upon. Capt. Myers said that he
had also noticed the improvement Of the
last two or three weeks and he saw no
reason to be discouraged. 1t had taken
the republicans, with an overwhelming
majority in both branches of congress,
until August to get through and COM
plete the Mckinley bill. and he believed
that when the conference committee got
together the house. the direct represent
atives of the people. would demand such
improvements as would place the demo-
Gratis and the people in favor of demo-
cratic tariff reform on good fighting
ground.

DISTRICT REPRESENTATION.
The Responses Are Brief But Full of
Confidence.

The Responses Are Brief But Full OF
Confidence.
Chairman Taggart then called for rep
resentatives from the several districts in
their order. the responses being numerous
and brief. All were in the same vein OF
confidence and cheerfUlness There was
no encouragement. anxiety or even doubt
as to the result OF the campaign if the
usual work is done between now and the
time of the election.
George w. ShanLIin.
Said the Hon. G.. W. Shanklin Of the
First district: THE only thing for us to
see to this summer and up to the time
of the election is that the democrats of
Indiana come out and vote. There is no
fear as to how they will vote. but as this
is an off year the main thing is To get
them to go to the polls. While / have
heard talk of encouragement existing in
the democratic ranks 1 have yet to see
any instance of it, True. there is some
slight anxiety on account Of the long de-
lay in passing the Wilson bill in con-
gress, but two years in the reporters
gallery Of the national house of repre-
sentatives taught me that it is a difficult
thing for a United States senate to pass
any bill late in the session and late in
the summer. This is on account Of the
senate organization. / do not think the
tariff bill will be finally passed before
the middle Of August, but when ii is
passed il will be a step toward the right
direction. The democrats of Indiana are
not going to fOrsake the old principles
of the party because six men have seen
fit to betray the party and impede legis
lation. There may have been some who
have even censured President Cleveland.
but if there are any such they have spoken

study which he deserves He, tOday,standS

eager for an aggressive campaign and ad-
herring unswervingly to the party princi-
pies.
The speakers recognized the fact that
there had been uneasiness in the rank
and file of the party on account Of the
prolonged delay in the senate. but this
had not developed into detection. and the
prospect of the early passage of the
tariff bill had put a stop TO all uneasiness
or anxiety. The democratic party will
offer TO the voters of Indiana a compro-
mise measure. it is true. but it will be

a GeIden Wedding.

From the Abingdon (Ills.) Argus, we
find an account of the golden wedding
of Samuel and Margaret Barlow, the
parents of S. T. and Q. II. Barlow Of
this city. Samuel Barlow and Margaret
Kenton we're married in Nicholas
county, Ky, in 1874 They lived on a
plantation in that county for the first
u years of their happy married life.
They then emigrated to Illinois and
finally settled down on a farm in the
rich stretch of country between Green
bush and Abingdon, where they resided
for 30 years. Some eight years ago
they moved into Abingdon, where they
have since resided. Ten children were
sent to bless their union, all of which
are now living, with the exception of
one who died in infancy. The 50th an
niversary of their marriage was cele-
brated by a gathering of their children
and families, relation and friends, over
100 being present. Speeches. toasts and
a beautiful musical programme being
rendered. The hearty wish of all were
that they might still survive many
years and celebrate many more we'd
ding anniversaries with their friends
and loved ones, before passing to that
eternal home that knows no ending.

Arthur FELTON,, the conducto2 who
was in charge of the train wrecked at
Limon March 10, has been discharged
by the railroad company. No blame
can be attached to him or any of the
crew, as the trackmen told them that
the road WAS clear. Should the blame
be shown to rest with the trackmen
the crippled engineer could tETen get
a suit for damages. This discharge is
hard lines and dead wrong.
Considerable hard feeling is being
manifested against the artificial pro
4ucers of rain by farmers of Sherman
county. They believe that the long
continued drought is caused by the
anger of the Almighty at their claims
of making rainfall whether he wills or
no. There may be be something in this
OF there may not be. One thing is Ger
tain and that is Sherman county needs
rain, natural or artificial, and needs
it mighty bad.
Professor Williston found that the
credulity of Goodland swallowed his
story of 50,000-year-old bones so readily
that he is going back on May 18 to put
in a wild, hilarious lecture night with
the Goodlandites. If the professor
should tell Goodland that she stood
upon the site of Al Kyris' tabled revel-
ries the people would believe it and use
the statement to account for the pres
ent multiplicity of keno dives.-HayS
