A SHOWING OF BANns
NOT FOR KNOX.


Prom the Craw ford democrat
we, on Friday last, received visit from,
sne non. j. ID. Williams, OF Knox county.
Mr' williams has for twenty years or more
represented his county In tie state Ie0is-
nature, Tor many years an acknowiedoed
leader OF the democracy in our state senate
NE iriends now think that his suit of blne
,eens ano cownlde srogans wsuld not be un-
oecoIning in the national House of Ren-a-
sSnts'lVes. ss, His opponent, the Hon.
InOmas X. Cobb. ia a lau,var 80
os, lhctlon, q fluent and able debatar
ana man who would undoubtedIv
pe al hohor 10 the district and the party he
represented. The contest seems IiTnitad -
these TWO men; we know of no other In tho
neIu. Inc county of Knox. from which
ooth OF these gentlemen hail. has for IA
consecutive years held the conrrsssionaI
prerogative: 1t is county in the extreme
western END OF the district, and has few. if
any. interests in common with the ma.oritv
OF counties composing the district. We
thlnk IL would have been more satifactorv
10 the great mejority, had a candidate
oeeh CHOSEN whose interests were not
ehtlreiy iettered 10 the citv of VincenDes
ahu tne great and raging Wabash. We
would have been pleased to have saen q
caholoate from Orange or Dubois, or i'm fact
irOhi any otner country. Knox we confeSs
- q nttle obnoxious to us, it knocks the con-
gress1enal aspirants out a little too fast and
frequent, and seems TO think, not that the
e,s,a -. o'ner counties might have some sspir-
ants o. tnelr own, but that their highes,
ambition should be amply satisfied II al
lowed TO vote for zone or t,otbsr f,o,,
KNOX" Well, we no doubt might 90
iurtneI anu fare worse, and be it Cobb or be

METAL FOR AUDITOR.
Prom the Plymouth Democrat
10 Aax-
democrat state convention draws near. the
people naturally cast about them for good
honest and competent men to place IN the
positions of trust and profit at their dis
posal. In looking over the field we feel
conndent we shall meet the hearty endorse
ment OF many thousands OF the good peopls
OF the state in presenting Martin IL Rice
of indianapolis, as suitable man
ior the offlce of auditor of state. Mr..
nice was f0r many years a resident of Ply
mouth, aDd is well and favorably known in
Northern Indiana, as we believe him 10 be
IN every section OF the state We can safely
say of him that he is honest and comneien1
and against his character no evil can ba
spoken. We also believe him TO be as non!
ular man as can be placed on the ticket
Mr. Hlce Is at present editor of the Masonic
Advocate; his journal speaks as % his
aplllty as an editor.
RIGHT ABOUT.
From the Indiana Granger
Inc indianapolis Journal, ultra repubii-

a farmers convention on the 10th as base
fraud and swindle perpetrated 10y the SEN

says that the convention of the 10th will be

sPURRISG THEM UP.
From the Terrs Haute Gazette
Unless the farmers of Vigo are willing to
be behind their brethren of the other couu-
lies of the state, they must be taking early
action in relation to the calling of a county
for the selection of delegates to
he 10th of June farmers convention. Their
brethren are already in the field. They must
not stand idle. Arrangements Is have been made
" Indianapolis for their accommodation ana
or the holding of the convention. The re-
'ponse 10 the call mas already been extensive
enough to secure large attendance and in
ure the success of the movement Let
here be no tagging here in Vigo.
UP STUMP.
Prom the Indiana Granger
The county council of grangers of Della
ware. after their business meeting last Sat-
irdsy, held an open meeting and took
ONE Of the most important steps ever taken
" any body of men in the county. Astbeir
ction was had in their capacity AS independ-
ent, freedom loving American citizens, all
dvice on the part of ring organs and wire
ullers will be out of place. The self-con-
tituted guardians Of the people have run
gainst a stump of large size, and NAV as
veil back out and take q new departure
he plugs OF farmers are coming to the
ront.
NOT AT ALL SURPRISED.
From the Richmond Independent.
The leth of June farmers movement ap-
ears to be looming up in the dim distance.
nd it would not be surprising if the largest
invention ever held in indianapolis occurs
that time.
