William H. English

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 7.-Wil
liam H. English died at his room
in the Hotel English to day at 1885
p. N, at the age of 73. MIR. English
had been ill with the grip for two
weeks. Several days ago rheumatism
set in and the hearts action became
bad. While his naturally strong con-
stitution grave Mr.. English's friends
hope for his recovery, his condition
throughout has been considered
grave.
It was announced after the child
rem had consulted with friends of
the family that the funeral would
take place Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock. 1t was left with Mr.. Wall
ing to arrange the details. The
burial will be at Crown Hill Gene
terry, where Mrs. English is buried,
and where Mr.. English some time
ago erected a beautiful family mon
ument.
Mr.. English was born in Lexing-
ton, Scott County, Ind, August p,
1922. Before he had attained his
majority he had identified himself
with public life in Indiana, and for
forty years he was a conspicuous
figure in the politics of his State.
Oblivion came only when he was
unanimously nominated for the vice
presidency in 1880 as running mate
for Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock.
Since his defeat lie has rarely been
heard of outside the limits Of this
city.
Mr.. English was . rich man His
wealth, which consisted mainly in
real estate holdings is estimated by
those aeqaintsd with his affairs to
be $5,O0O,9OO.
Persons who are aquaintsd with
the contents Of tho will of Mr.. En-.
glish state to light that it gives q
life interest to the two children, Will
E. English and Mrs. DR.. Walliug,
and from them descends to the
grandchildren. The estate is valued
at 81, 100000.
The Northern press, particularly
that of Massachusetts,, has been ex.

mixed with the censure which many
people in Massachusetts, have be-
slowed upon their fellow country
men in the Southern States in con-
sequence of the unwillingness of the
latter to associate freely with colored
people. From the earliest records
of mankind down to the present
time the disposition to take to ones
self credit for not committing Of.
fenses that one had no opportunity
to commit, and in this way contrast.
ing ones virtues with the obvious
faults of others, has been a favorite
means of securing self,satisfaction.
But the incidents attendant upon
the coming to this city of Bishop
Arnett furnishes an illustration of the
extreme super6ciality Of our alleged
belief in human equality.
Now, so long as these prejudices
are entertained-andw We do not be-
lieve any one can honestly deny their
e1istence-it is both foolish and un-
truthful of US to condemn manifesto
tions of similar preludices by white
people living in the southern states.
There is possibly a great deal of
force in the assertions that have
sometimes been made by southern
ers that if half of the poplatien was
made up of negroes, these colored
people would find line of demarca'
ton drawn between them and their
wsite brother than that which sepa-
rates the races in the southern
states.-Kansas City Times.

Senator Frank Day Of Martin county,
present lieutenant governor of the state.
There was only one other candidate
talked Of, Gen. E. NJ. Pope Of Mankato,
but as the sentiment Of the delegates
seemed to be all one way, Mr.. Pope did
the right thing and made the nominating
speech, which was seconded by Mr.. Ham

Mr.. Day has never in any sense been a
candidate for the position: but it is un-
derstood that he will accept and make
an active and thorough campaign. He
will without question receive tie Peo-

is accomplished Mr.. McCleary may just

defeat.

Democratic convention be called at tsa the
same time and place as the Populist
convention and that. if possible, an hon-
orable coalition be formed in the nomi-
nation Of 3 county ticket. So
Mr.. Green spoke at some length on
the resolution, laying particular stress
upon the necessity Of uniting all along
the line and calling attention to the man-
ner in which the Democrats nf the state
had repeatedly been sold out BY the lea
ders in st. Paul and Minneapolis. He
was literally applauded when he con-
cluded and the resolutions as offered were
adopted.
The chairman then called for nomina-
tions for delegates to the State and con.
gressional conventions. The balloting
was all done by acclamation and result
ted as given below:
To Minneapolis: j. j. Green, Geo.
Graft, 81. Weyhe, Fred Pfaender. !. P.

After the election Of the delegates, ].
j. Green introduced an additional reso-
luton which read as follows:
Resolved that the delegates elected to
the Democratic State Convention be in
structed to usetall honorable effort to
secure the nomination of Hon. John Lind
as candidate for governor.
This resolution passed without dis
senting vote and loud applause followed
its adoption: . ~- .
Chairman Steinhauser then advised
every delegate to do loyal work for the
whole ticket and declared the conven-
ton adjourned.
The convention was unusually we'll
attended, considering the adverse cir
cumstances under which it was held, and
there was certainly no dropping of spir-
it's throughout its deliberations. Every
delegate present seemed confident of Bry
ans and Lind's success. l
