Mr.. q. II. Bliss furnishes the readers
of the REGISTER this week with q
large installment of democratic char
mony." We publish it as o personal
favor to Mr.. Bliss, and because the or
gans of his own party refused 10 print

world. But it expresses the senti

sides Mr.. Bliss, If they only had the
nerve to say 80.
The people OF M oran need have no
fears that Mr.. Funston will disappoint
them next Tuesday. He will
be there. And we have his au-
thority to announce that he will be
most happy to answer any questions
that may be asked him concerning
letters he may have written to parties
in this county, or concerning his con-
nection in any way with the land
question. He Is not ashamed of his
record and he is not afraid to face it.
The republicans of Allen county are
not ashamed of their platform or their
candidates, hence they are not ashamed
70 go openly before all the people and
present their claims. This straight
forward, manly campaign is in mark
ed contrast to the sneaking still hunt
being made by the democrats. Every
honest man hates a coward whether it
be q party or q man. That is one rea-
son among others. why every candi-
date on the democratic county ticket is
going to be showed under this fall.
We trust that the people of the Third
Commissioners district will honor
themselves and perform a duty they
owe the rest of the county by re-elect-
ing w. A. Ross to the office he now
holds. 1t is a part of our business to
pay close attention to the transactions
of the Board of Commissioners, and we
give it as. our honest conviction that
no more thoroughly upright, incorrup-
with that Board than w. A. Ross.
He has been watchful of the county's
interests, he has been vigilant to en-
force all the laws, and his business
judgment has never been ut fault. He
deserves q reelection by an increased
majority.
In looking the entire township over, We be-
lieve that the following named gentlemen are
the persons tho people should choose for these
positions, and wa believe 1t duty these peO-
pie owe to themselves and to the community to
accept these places. We will name them as
follows:
Trustce-Nimrod Hankins.
Treasurer-G. A. BOwlus.
Clerk-A. j. Clark.
Justices of the Peace-J. X. Boyd and John
A. Christy.
For Observation-Disclosures White and Milt
Lukenbill.
Here we have named seven among the best
citizens of lola township, and we insist that 1t
is duty our people owe to themselves to vote
for and elect this ticket to administer the af-
fairs of this township. democrat.

A scattering and exhausted looking
fragment of the democratic party of
WO0dson and Allen coun-
ties, met at the Court House last Fri
day to go through the motions of NOM
mating a candidate for State Senator.
They seemed to have fixed their hopes
on the Smith family as two of them,
NJ. C.. Smith, of W0odson. and II. ID.
Smith, of Allen. were presented to the
convention as aspirants for the honor
of nomination. The latter gentleman
was evidently put up, as he has usual
ly been under similar circumstances,
to give his party friends ~ the pleas
ure of kicking him down. At any
rate he received but four votes. Mr..
NJ. G. Smith, receiving the remainder
of the votes was declared the nominee.
Mr.. Smith is very pleasant, inoffen-
sive gentleman and does not mean any
body any harm by his candidacy. N
The largest audience that ever as.I
sembled to hear any lecturer in lola,
with the possible exception of that
which listened to Anna Dickinson,
greeted George r. Vending at the
Opera House Wednesday night. And
we have heard of none who regretted
their presence. We have not space of
course, to attempt anything like an
outline of the lecture. In composition |
and matter it was we'll nigh perfect, the |
dramatic incidents in Paul's life :espec.
tally being delineated with great pow
er. The delivery appeared to US some
times 10 be somewhat strained and af- |
fected, and he occasionally allowed his |
magnificent voice to tremble and break ]
when it should have been firm and
strong. But these faults were as NOTES |
in the sunbeam. The lecture as a
whole will abide long as q pleasant
memory in the minds of those who
heard it. 1t may not have been great, |
but it held y large audience for nearly |
two hours without a single movement
of WEAKNESS or tagging interest.
