converts to the principles of free trade and
To the support of its stuffed prophet"
The persons are either not named or repu-
diate the assertion as soon as they hear OF
it. Only last Saturday the Davies
county correspondent at Washington an
nounced in the Sentinel that Republican,

desertlon from the party's ranks of County
Superintendent p. r. Wadsworth, who
has been local leader for years" 1t was
further stated that Superintendent Wads-
worth. who had been elected county chair
man, had resigned for reasons known only
TO himself. and that having been recently
nominated for the Circuit Bench by the
Peoples party, the Republicans were hav-
ing hard work to keep him from accepting.
In this instance. the Sentinel romancer did
not assert that the detection was

man of irreproachable character. and one

all
which the gentleman named says is a
lie. The national committee will NOT only
send the greatest speakers here. but will
draw upon the best Indiana speakers for
service in other States. Hon. A. q. Porter
will be one. and there are numerous others.
