cratic Triumph In November.

EX-Gov. Hendricks addressed large Demo-
cratic meeting at Muncie. Ind, ON saturday, aud
met with an enthusiastic reception. He called
attention to the long period of Republican mis-
rule-twenty five years-Df the party'S gross ex-
trtvagance, the last year footing up s663 00J.001.
Democrats had during all this long period been
excluded from PARTICIPATION in the affairs of the
Government. 1t was very desirable for the pros
perty of the country that there should be a
change.

wheat was worth Sl.2) and labor was well paid
and the Republican orator came To you aud said
| My countrymen, won't you let well enough
alone?"
The business failures for the past week were s
per cent. greater than the week before. Your
wheat is 20 cents buShel less to-day than II was
when Garfield was elected. II is not well

their doors. Why" Whv because the life of ac-
tivity, the peoples money, is locked up in the
Treasury The IriIh will not support Blaine.
