Senator Perkins and Congressman
Funston will be in lola Saturday, OctO-
Der %, to address the people on the
political issues. There will be a meeting
in the City Park at ? O'Clock and one in
the OPERA House in the evening. The
lola Republican Club offers IL fine flag to
the township bringing the largest delega-
tion in procession. Let everybody come
and make this the biggest rally of the
campaign.
Fusion is a conspiracy for spOils.
1t is political piracy, with no flag but
the black flag and no demand but
"Stand and deliver!" If anybody
objects to this definition there is
space in these columns for him to
state his objections.

1t is at last officially announced
that fusion is complete in Allen
county. That is, of course, what
everybody expected. To be sure
there was a great show of virtue
when the Peoples party Convention
met and high-sounding resolution
was passed TO ''leave vacant" those
places on their ticket for which they
had no candidates. And when the
Democratic convention met there was
the same show of virtue and the same
high-sOnnding resolution. But now
the show of virtue is abandoned, the
Understanding resolutions are set
aside, and 1.-The opposition to the Re
publican party is completely and
tremendously united.n United upon
what, and for what? On principles
and for the vindication of them? The
very suggestion would bring a smile
to the unyieldiDg lips of a craven
image! They are united upon any
thing-tO- beat the Republican party,
and for spOils. Principles have moth
ing TO do with it, for the Peoples and
the Democratic party have not a sin
gle principle in common. A party
which consents to fusion with another
party abaBdons its claim to the re-
spect of the people, and a candidate
who accepts place on fusion
ticket, stultiiics himself. There is no
longer a Peoples party in Allen
county standing upon principle.
There is no longer a Democratic party
standing upon principle. Instead of
these there is an Opposition" stand
ing upon spOiIs. II is well that the
mask is thrown off thus early. The
Republican party knows now what it
has to fight. 1T fought the same fight
last vear.-and where was Brother
Iieurance when it was over? 1t
fought the same fight two years ago
and where was Brother GOshorn when
Ct was Over?- Echo answers. And
