THE DEMOCRATIC ADMISSION OF DE-
FEAT.

1t is evident that the Democratic lead
this year. If they did they would not
be talking of two candidates and two
platforms. They know that while two
tickets ma give the party more men,
bers of Congress, they will destroy
every emnant of hope of electing a
President. In 1860, when the Democratic
party was yet a power in the land and
when 1t could have elected Douglas, it
put two candidates in the field and lost
all. When the Charleston convention
scattered the party leaders knew that
the last hope of electing a President had
been destroyed. Each element repre-
sented an idea hostile TO that held by the
other. The Douglas party held to squat
ter sovereignty, while the ultra Southern
faction maintained that slavery was ma
tional as laid down in the bred Scott
decision. The convention was preceded
by threats of bolts. and when 1t assem-
bled threats of retiring therefrom were
ment did retire. No leader attempted to
pour oil upon the angry waves of sec
tionalism and passion. There was no APP
peal for harmony. Every voice was for
war. 1t was so largely because there
was little or no hope that, while such
bitterness existed. the Democratic can
didate could be elected.
The situation is the same now. Now
and then there is a plea for harmony,
but 1t is a feeble voice that makes 1t.
The Missouri convention refused to per-
nit a prominent man to represent the
district which had elected him in the
Chicago convention, even after he had
pledged himself to submit to the unit
rule except in the matter of seeding
from the convention. In both sections
the papers discuss the question of divid-
ing the party into two factions as If II
would take place. The person who
claims to be the free silver leader in this
| State has been threatening to bolt the
State convention II 1t does not declare
for the heresy OF the silver mine owners.
The most violent attacks are made upon
the Democratic President by Democratic
papers and speakers. Secretary Carlisle,
on the sound-money side. set an example
in favor OF boiling when he practically
told the sound-money Democrats in the
Kentucky Legislature not to vote for
Blackburn. And so II is all along the
line.
If the Democratic leaders had any
faith in their ability to carry the coun-
try the thermometers would be at work

compromise platform with a compromise

States in which there Is no real Repub-
lican organization AID In which it is very
doubtful If there viii be an electoral
ticket in the field. In most of these
States the Republicans have been
counted out so many times that they
have become discouraged; yet, to show
their Republicanism. they might on
tinue to go through with the motions.
AT least, If they are permitted to send
delegates they might have the modesty
to agree upo the requisite number of
delegates and make no more trouble in
the organization of the convention than
do the representatives of states which
must elect the Republican candidates.
These quarrelsome contestants should
understand that the mass of voting Re-
publicans is Disguised with their coming
to st. Louis with sixty or seventy con-
tests. and such Republicans would be de-
lighted If the convention would say to
these disturbers. Either settle our dis
putes yourselves or go home" These
men are fighting for advantage in Office
getting. As a rule. men who will not act
fairly in local conventions are not to be
trusted with positions of trust.

The Journal has no candidate to-day
for county commissioner, so there can be
no improperly in expressing the hope
that the delegates to the county con-
vention will appreciate the Importance of
nominating a man who has capacity for
affairs and a personal force which will
enable him to resist the chemes of those
who would pocket the money of tax
payers. A man Of intelligence, bust
ness integrity n backbone can render
the taxpayers most timely and valuable
service in that Office because 1t Is the
most important position in h county.

who has never succeeded In any bust

not the one who should be nominated fol

NATIONAL COMMERCIAL TARIFF con-
II

The convention of the commercial,
organizations Of the United States to be
held in Detroit, beginning June ?, may
be a very important event. The conven-
ton will be nonpolitical and nonsec-
tional, and all questions will be dis
cussed from a purely commercial stand
point. The convention will discuss and
act upon the following topics:
First-Thei discussion Of ways and means
for taking the tariff question out OF partisan
politics and making Ii a business question in
stead Of a political football"
Second-The discussion Of ways and means
for the Improvement of the consular service
of the United States and the employment OF
such service for the increasing OF our foreign
trade, especially with the Central and South
American republics.
Third-The a~dvisability of recommending
TO Congress the creation of a department OF
commerce. manufactures and labor, and of
making the chief of such department a men,
Der of the Presidents Cabinet.
Fourth-The advisability of forming a per-
manent organization for the purpose Of hold
ing annual conventions for the consideration
of national questions and Of recommending
to Congress each year such changes in our
laws or In their administration as may be
deemed for the best interests of our country.
The convention is called by the officers
of various commercial and manufacture
ing associations. including President
Erwin, of the Indianapolis Commercial
Club. j. H. Brigham, master Of the Ma
tional Grange of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry. is among those who ave issued
the call
In regard to the tariff, those who ave
called the convention declare a purpose
to induce Congress to adopt the following
principle for the levying of customs du-
ties:
The tariff levied on all goods imported
from any foreign country into the United
States shall In all cases be an amount fully
equal to the difference in the cost of produc-
ing said goods in any foreign country and
the cost o. producing such goods in the
United States.
This policy will do If the purpose is to
give other countries the same rights in
the Americas markets as ave the COM
petitors at home. There is, however, a
larger number of people in this country
by hundreds of thousands who believe
that the duties should be adjusted upon
the theory that the American producer.
country when called upon. has a higher
right to the American markets than has
the foreigner. The American market is
the best in the world, and that policy is
the soundest which will insure 1t to home
enterprise and industry.
The discussion of the. foregoing topics
by men who are practically connected
with them can but have a good influence,
since their discussions will go a long way
toward counteracting the dogmas of men
n ignore experience and in their way
think out impossible theories"

Miners VIII Work as Long a. go Cents
II h Scale.


Special to the Indianapolis journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 24.-The
miners convention was in session for a short
time to-day when the scale committee re-
ported its inability to reach an agreement
with the operators. After a lengthy dis
~cussion. a resolution was passed to the effect
that the men continue work as long as they
are paid 60 cents per ton. this being another
concession of l cent. No order to strike was
issued. but the delegates voted not to work
for less than the present scale price, which
means a lockout after the 1st Of May
other resolution was passed extending SYM
pathy to the Clinton miners. who, il declares.
have been un1sstly censured for working
for less than the union scale. The resolu-
ton reciteS the circumstances which forced
the Clinton men into submission and bitterly
denounces the imported labor secured 10
al the strikers places. In conclusion an
invitation Is extended to the Clinton men to
return to the federation. The Clinton min
ers withdrew from the federation about six
months ago since when they have
been working for IS cents. 5 cents less than
the union scale. After passing these two
resolutions the convention adjourned and the
delegates returned to their homes. II is
though that some operators where coal is

cents, will pay the 60 cents price.
