AN EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN.
what IL Cost Both Parties for Their
Work In Indiana.

what it Cost Both Parties for Their
Work in Indiana.
INDIANAPoLIs, IND, Nov 13.-In
many respects the campaign just closed
has been an exceedingly expensive one,
and the burden has been greater on the
Republicans than upon their competitors
Much greater was the cost to Republicans
in the matter of telegraphing, printing
and expenses of speakers. As q rule,
although nearly all the foreign speakers
were men of means, the committees paid
their bills, the only exceptions being
Hill and Thurman for the Democrats and
Blaine and possibly Mckinley and Fora
ker for the Republicans. Still again the
Republicans were distrustful of the postal
service and much Of their campaign mat
ter, particularly that involving the secret
work of the party, was forwarded by eX-
press, or else the contents were tele-
graphed.
There was also n material difference in
clerk hire, the Republicans employing
experienced men, while the Democratic
Committee had number of boys for the
mere routine work, An estimate places
the expenses of the two parties in excess
of $500, 900, two-thirds of which was
borne by the Republicans. The follow
ing table gives the approximate amounts:
Dem. Rep.
Clerk hire.......,....... $4,000 $4,000
Postage. ....,.........." 5000 5000
Speakers ....,........... 2S,OO0 10000
Telegraphing. 5000 $4,000
Printing and stationery. 10000 10000
Distribution to counties. $4,000 $4,000
The Republicans charged that the
Work blouse management released a
number of prisoners on election day con-
ditioned that they voted the Democratic
ticket, and this afternoon the Mayor and
Court Clerk, provided with list of pris-
oners who should be in custody and ac-
companied by a representative of the
Committee of One Hundred, visited the
institution by stealth, expecting sensa-
tional developments. The records
showed few escapes, but in the cases in
which the investigating party were par
ticularly interested the Superintendent
exhibited remittants signed by the Clerk
and Mayor, the genuineness of which
they admitted, although the Mayor in
sisted that he had never authorized them
and the Clerk swore he had never re.
ceived any payment on fines. The in
vestigators went to shear sheep, but were
shorn.

Brashear will celebrate.
The committees have been ap-
pointed and are at work, and an
interesting programme will soon
be out.
Decoration day was well observ-
ed. There was not a jar Of any
kind to mar or interrupt the ser
vices. The procession that went
to the cemetery was three fourths
of a mile long. In the afternoon
speeches were made by Rev. Tur-
neT, Robt. Moore and NJ. A.
Church. Our "Kid Band" consist
ing of Freddie Applegate, Cliff
and George Tuttle, aged s, 13 and
l5 respectively, with Enoch Mod
lin as fifer furnished music for
the occasion.
Mr.. J. L. Watson living about
four miles north of town recently
sheared twelve head of sheep from
which he obtained $50 lbs of wool.
Who can beat it?
Mr.. and Mrs. J E. Landes Sun
dayed in the country.
We noticed Mr.. W. T. Kirkpat-
rick of Wilson, in town Monday.
Miss Kate Barr who has been
attending the Brashear Academy
the past six months returned to
her home in Hillsboro, Iowa, last
Sunday.
A little child of Thos. Connel
died last Sunday morning and was
inferred Monday.
A number of our young people
were entertained at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Elliott last
Saturday evening.
A warrant was issued last Mon
day for the arrest of VIM. NaiIor,
for stealing pocket knives out of L.
W. Boone d. Bros. store. The lad
is only about sixteen years old,
yet this is not his first offense.

dorse the man would have been
party suicide; but they feared an
Endorsement of his principles
would be equally suicidal, as
western and southern democrats
largely oppose his free trade ideas
as expressed in his message and
the Mills bill.
This accounts for the nomina-
ton of Thurman for second place
He is advanced in age and
repugnant to Cleveland, but
as he has always carried a red BAN
dana handkerchief the tho ught
is suggested that he might arouse
an "Old Hickory" sort of enthu-
siasm, and thus hide the chagrln
that is produced by being COM
PEELED to indorse a man without
indorsing his principles.
But the campaign of 1SSSis a
campaign of principles and the
party that looks for success in the
waving of a red bandana, will be
sat upon in November with a
weight that will crush it out of all
recognition.

very strong leading article, enti-
tied "a Great Show" by Profess

Louise Chandler Moulton writes
full but simple memorial of
Louisa May Alcott,'' containing
extracts from her lettres to the ed
itor of st. Nicholas; and the arti :
Gle is illustrated by a new picture
Of Miss Alcott, which is much
more pleasing than any before
published, and also by a picture
of her adopted daughter (the child
of her sister amy, Lulu Nieri-
ker.

WHY 1T WAS DONE.

The nomination of Cleveland by
acclamation Wednesday afternoon
was expected and did not create
the least surprise. The bare, bald
fact is, that the Democratic party
could do nothing else, as failure
to renominate him would haye
been to repudiate three years of
Democratic administration. and
would have handed victory over to
the Republican party at the be-
ginning.
But it is well known that the
convention did not unanimously
indorse his principles as express
ed in his message, and the ques-
ton: Why did the convention in
dorse the man and not his princi-
pies? has crept into the minds of
thousands of democrats in the past
twenty four hours.
A failure to unanimously in

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

Few counties in the state or
possibly in the west, have peo-
pie that do more reading, in pro-
portion to the number of inhabi-
tants, than Adair county. Not
only do the county papers receive
a greater patronage than in other
counties, as evidenced by state
ments of circulation, but metropol-
itan papers and periodicals of the
very best standing in the literary
world, are distributed and read to
a degree that is surprising to one
who has not given the matter in
vestigation. The class of our peo-
pie who want to hear but one side
OF question is of a very limited
number, and we feel proud that
we can truthfully make such
statement.
Hence, we have a people that are
ever ready to listen to reason, who
are broad and liberal in their
views and recognize first of all,
the fundamental principal of good
government. that the majority
must rule. Indeed the man, who
is not willing that the majority
should rule would be looked upon
In such community, and justly
so, as one who is too much wrap
ped up in his own selfish schemes
to be safely trusted with anything
pertaining to the welfare of the
people. Last Friday the Repub-
lican party of Adalr county made
known their wishes at the primary
election, and it is needless to talk
OF dlssension or an appeal from
that decision; for every man, who
lays any claim at all to party afiil-
alton, will wheel into line and
help carry out the expressed wish
of the majority. With the strength
of our party and the abiding faith
in the virtue of Republican prin-
ciples, a great victory forour county
ticket may be safely predicted for
November.

The Century Magazine.

The June number Of The Cen
tury opens with the second of Mr.
Kennan's illustrated articles, this
one being on "Plains and Prisons
of Western Siberia" The frontis-
pice of the magazine shows an eX-
lie party on a muddy road near
Tiumen. The subjects treated by
Mr.. kennan are "Siberia's Enor-
nous Territory" Varieties of
Climate "a Farming Region,
"Flowers and Mosquitoes "The
Forwarding Prison" "The Hos
pital wards, "Ihe aVomen's Pris-

count of the hospital wards. He

The Lincoln History in this
number contains chapters ON "The
Advance" Bull Rum" Fremont"
and Military Emancipation A
striking point ID this installment
is the account of Lincoln's recep-
ton of the news of Bull Run. In
connection with the Bull Run de-
feat the authors say, that "War
and politics, campaigns and state
craft, are Siamese twins, insepar-
able and Independent; and to talk
of military operations without the
direction and interference of an
Administration is as absurd as to
plan campaign without recruits,
pay, or rations."
