Democratic managers claim the State with
every assurance. but when did they not?
THE

There was nothing in yesterdays Repub-
Iican assemblage to afford satisfaction to
those who are croaking of the deterioration
of the Republican party. Very few of the
men who met in convention in 1850. 1868 and
the earlier years of the party history live
to attend these biennial State gatherings,
but those present show the anne devotion
to the one party whose achievements can
be proudly recalled from the days Of Lin
coin TO the present time. In some respects
the present gathering has the advantage
IL has more successes to inspire with conf
dence. While there is a sharp rivalry for
the honors OF the party there was not a
discordant note in yesterdays session. The
hundreds of persons who predicted a
stormy opening should descend from the
prophetic tripod. After all the talk of cut
and-dried organization and platforms, the
opening showed that the real work of or
ganizing was done by the delegates in their
district meetings.
The address of Chairman Hanly was an
able and concise presentation of the faith
and the dchleyementS or the party winch
began its great work with Abraham Lin
coin. It was addressed TO the intelligence
and the reason of the three thousand peo-
pie in Tomlinson Hall and tens of thou
sands who will read 1t. 1t was eloquent in
well chosen sentences without airy effort at
the dramatic. Mr.. Hanly found so much
to say of his own party and it's duties that
he had no time to waste in epithet upon
the Bryan party. The close attention and
the generous applause which Mr.. Hanly
received proved that he spoke the senti-
ments of a united party. Senator Fair
banks did not go to the convention with a
prepared speech, but there never was a
time when the Republicans of Indiana
were more willing to listen TO him. because
his career in the Senate has marked him
as a leader. The brief address of Repre-
sentative Lands was received with an
enthusiasm which proved his growing
popularity. Altogether, 1t was an auspi-
cious opening. In the exciting canvass
which has been going on the rivalry is not
that of faction creating bitterness. but of
individuals and their friends seeking the
honors of the party.

The efforts of the officials of the Com
mercial Club TO increase its membership
should meet with abundant success. The
Commercial Club is one of the institutions
of the city that has been largely instru-
mental in devising and carrying into effect
clans which have resulted in the develop
ment of the city. The present charter and
the general Improvement Of the streets
which has done so much to promote the
growth of the city was very largely worked
out by the Commercial Club. 1t has taken
a part in bringing about the change in the
management of the public schools. 1t has
been behind all the movements to bring
the advantages of the city to the attention
of commercial and other bodies as a place
of assembling. Whenever effective assist
ance is needed to properly entertain visit
ing bodies. those interested call In the
Commercial Club. There is yet much work
for the club. and there will always be a
pressing need for an organization which
can secure unity of action in carrying out
any design that will promote the welfare
of the city.

Gladstone was a good deal of a ak he
had more than one OF two ideas.-Terre
Haute Express.
Straws show which way the wind blows.
The fact that the Democrats of the State
cannot find a man that is willing TO be a
candidate for Governor shows that those
best informed know that there is no chance
for the Democrats 10 carry the State. b.
+. Shively will be compelled TO take the
nomination because they gave Ii to him
when he wanted ii and now he must take
1t when he doesn't want it.-Columbus Re-
publican.
Senator Hoar's speech to the Senate on
the policy of the government toward new
dependencies is one more evidence of the
persistence of the ideas of youth when
age creeps on. Senator Hoar has been all
his life one of the most consistent de-
tenders of civil liberty. and his espousal
of the Philippines is only the blindness of
preconceived opinion that the revolt of
Aguinaldo against Spain was an honest
revolt against interference with civil liberty
in the abstract. His speech was delivered
at a very inopportune time, just on the eve
OF the exposure of the brutalities of the
great defender of hberty."-Elkhart Re-
view.

When Dewey Took His Halo on.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

new 1Ork commercial advertiser.
Just after Admiral Dewey returned from
Manila, and for some time before that, the
cartoonists were baff1ed by the monotony
of applause that greeted the mention of his
name. There was little room for variety
in handling so impeccable a subject. They
dared not slight his martial expression,
nor venture tricks with his features, nor
play with epithets in labelling the efforts
Of their rather puzzled pencils. They car
TONED around him and not up to him.
But now they have their revenge The adj
miral has descended into politics, and 10!
he has become as one Of us. To look al
him now as he appears in the sportive page
of political illustration one would hardly
know him. All al once the mastery con-
duct of difficult affairs after Manila bay
has either been forgotten or so magnihed
beyond Its merits that We cannot recog-
nize the man in the cloud of incense. And
If this is the difference between a full adj
miral and a possible candidate what would
him? Already the bravery and foresight
of the naval commander have been boxed
UP by some of these artists as IL they had
existed only for use in the cabin or on the
bridge OF the Olympia, and he is pictured
as taking primer lessons In statemanship
Contrariwise he is lifted by a stroke of the
pencil into a heaven-born administrator
whose naval successes were only mild
exercising for real work. And all this has
resulted from the publication Of an inter-
view. 1t just shows hat some kinds Of
proven public servants are immune from
too free and too personal comment, and
that such immunity is a distinction TO be
purchased only by keeping quiet and not
attempting too much. Ii may be an unjust
distinction, but we lave to thank the car
toonists for IL as much as anybody else,
and before we censure them we would
better reflect that c~artoonists draw to
please.

They say their business was ruined by the

THE REJECTION OF QUAY.

This is an important week in the his
tory of the United States Senate. Its re-
gard for the proper qualifications and in
tegrity Of it's membership is highly salts
factory to the country.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The Senate very appropriately tells Mr..
Quay he does not come to Washington
properly accredited. and, consequently, is
not wanted there. This action but follows
the precedent. 1t is both good law and
good ethics.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une.
BY adhering to its long established policy
the Senate has served further notice on
State Legislatures that if they fail to elect
senator's their States will go unrepresented
II is to be hoped that no Legislature will
compel the Senate to discuss this question
again.-Chicago Tribune.
The Pennsylvania boss came so very
near election. apparently. simply because
he was a politician of influence and power.
1t remains for the senators who voted to
seat him to explain by what specious
casuistry they expect to defend their
course.-Chicago Record.
Mr.. Quay may rest assured that his
friends all over the country-and they
are l~egion-are not less loyal to him to-
day than they were yesterday. They be-
lieve that the Senate ought to have broken
away from a muSty traditiOn; that 1t
ought to have seated him without a dissent
ing vote.-Louisviile Commercial.
What would have been the result if he
had been seated? His admission would
have been a notice to every candidate for
the Senate that 1t was not necessary to
have a favorable majority of the Legis-
lature on joint ballot in order to secure
a seat. 1t would have been a notice to
every candidate that with a friendly Gov
ernor a majority could sometimes be dis
pensed with.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
There was a time when Senator Quay
might have averted the disaster of yester-
day. Had he chosen to redeem the admir-
able pledges he so boldly made in 1895, in
stead of abandoning them. there is every
reason to believe his public career would
not have terminated so suddenly or been
beset by so many NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Dispatch.
The defeat of Quay Is a national victory
over the most odious and unscrupulous
attempt ever made to break into the
United States Senate by a fraudulent title
through appeals to every influence known
to a desperate and powerful political
who seek to drag the Senate down to the
level of their own evil ambitions and de-
signs.-Chicago Times-Herald.

THE PLATFORM.

The GROWING event OF the first day Of
the Republican State convention was the
report of the committee on resolutions.
The spirit of the convention had already
been clearly defined by the ~earnestness,
enthusiasm and good feeling manifest
among the delegates and visitors for
several days past. 1t was further voiced
in the admirable and ringing speech of the
permanent chairman, and it eliminated In
the report of the committee OH resolutions
No better platform was ever adopted by
the Republicans of Indiana or will be adop-
1t does not contain a sentence amiss nor
omit any matter of Importance in national
or State politics. 1t is a complete text
book of true, up-to-date Republicanism.
Excellent as it is I'm its entirety 1t might
almost have stopped with the terse and
comprehensive preamble reviewing the re-
cent record Of the party and of the national
administration, President and Congress.
1t is literally true that In the whole his
tory Of this country there has been no
PCAiOo 81 0iclihCtlNcAy W plOSGti-
ity and progress as that of this splendid
Republican administration. 1t is also true
that there has been no period so distinct
lively marked by the growth of American
prestige and the broadening of American
influence. Fortunate indeed is the party
whose record is a platform. But If the
platform had stopped here it would have
failed to mention specifically some matters
OF Importance in national and State affairs
about which people are talking and con-
corning which they look to the Republican
party for words of progress and action.
These matters are treated in the body of
the platform with unusual candor, clear
ness and force. No Republican worthy of
the name can doubt the duty Of the govern
ment to establish it's authority wherever
in our possessions it is disputed. or can
doubt the purpose and ability of a Re-
publican President and Congress to es-
| tablish good government wherever the flag
floats. This is the spirit of the platform
| regarding all the unsettled questions grow
ing out of the war with Spain. For the
rest, 1t indorses the financial legislation
of the present Congress and promises
| further progress; Ii den0unces hurtful
trusts and favors legislation bringing them
and their promoters under complete legal
control; 1t gives a hearty Endorsement to
the clean and able administration of Cover
nor Mount and calls special attention to
| some Of the more important features of
Republican legislation and administration
in State affairs and pledges the party to
the continued support of measures and
policies which are working so well for the
people. No better campaign document will
be published than this platform. and it
should be placed In the hands of every
voter in the State.
