SHARPSNILLE. Ind, Sept. R.-The
Democrats of Upton county realize more
fully than ever before the blunder they
committed when they took up with Joseph
3. CheadIe, the ex-Republican Congress-
man. and gave him the nomination for
Congress in this district. Prominent DEM
ocrats openly announce that they will not
support him, and the treatment Cheade
than insulting. Cheadle's strong argument
while working for the nomination was that
he would be able to control hundreds or
Republican soldiers votes and would thus
be a source of strength to Democratic coun-
ty tickets. Republican soldiers have aban-
doned him to man many of them serving
notice on him personally that he was a
traitor to his party and a deSerter OF his
comrades. Cheadle realizes that he cannot
expect help from this source, and 1t mas
made him SO angry that he has taken off
his Grand Army button and now appears
before his audiences minus the badge he
formerly proudly AT Windfall on
Wednesday he stated to several gentlemen
that he Just much of a Repub-
lican as he ever was" This made him
much trouble and a number of Democrats
refused to attend his meeting. There is no
doubt that Cheadle will run behind his
ocrats. on learning that he participated in
a Republican convention at Frankfort last
spring and was for a time a candidate for
delegate to the St Louis Republican con-
vention. stated openly that it was time to
announce that renegadeS cannot expect re-
to teach the turncoat lesson he will never
forget

his hearers, and when he had closed there
was nc doubt of their admiration for him.

that a campaign speaker makes such an
impression. There was no redundancy ana
nothing vague in what he said. The Illus

lasting, and the continuity of the argument
