and Indianapolis Sentinel in brutally as
sailing the tin-plate industries of
the county have already alienated
many Democrats And man of

LAGRANGE. Ind. Aug. 22-The nominee
for Governor on the Democratic ticket
spoke at Rome City, Noble county, at lei
and Park Assembly, Aug. II. At the close
of his speech he said. in speaking of the IN
famous tax law: Nov. gentlemen, il any
one here paid any more taxes this year
than last, the trouble lies with your local
authorities and not in helaw. You paid no
moro taxes to tho State than before, for
the reason that the State placed all it's In
crease on corporations. and not on the
tions, and your county and township off,
GERS are responsible for your increased
taxes" AS matter OF course
there were q few Democrats present
who swallowed the dose, falsehood

Der, when he comes to this part of the
HoOsier State. that he comes to Repub-
hcan county, and as consequence to an

and that demagogy and campaign false

him and his party, and to the State. to
have Secretary of State going around
making such transparent mlsrepresenta-

challenge. signed by the chairman of the
central committee. for series of joint de-
bates on the political issues. George B.
Lockwood and John Sweetzer were named
as speakers. aud the Democrats. on their
part. accepted the challenge and appointed
William Devine and Allen Trippeer. A
meeting for the purpose of arranging the
programme was held yesterday. The Dem
ocrats refused TO discuss anything except
the tariff. As q consequence the scheme
has fallen through with ne far as tho Demo-
cratic party is concerned, although the
threat of cowardice may force them into
the debates The refusal to discuss State
issnes lies In the fact that the party is
seriously embarrassed In the present con-
dition of the Miami county treasury. IL is
well known that there has been for the
past six months serious boiling by some of
their strongest adherents, and that the
party internally isvery much disorganized.
