cans are to do battle before the peo-
pie for the principles enunciated at
st. Louis and of which Mckinley and
Hobart are the eXpositors. Allison
who knows his own state as heknows
the house of his father, desired to con-
fine his efforts to a careful stumping
of that state, where he is as popular
as Mckinley is in Ohio, but he has
yielded to the wishes of the National
Campaign committee and will speak
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Reed will bring his sledge hammer
of facts and his electric battery of
wit down upon the enemy in the east.
HARRISON will give his efforts to other
states as well as Indiana, but the
work that he will do at home will be
the most telling, for Indiana knows
Benjamin and loves him. He may
be esteemed cold by strangers, but he
always warmed up Indiana. Sherman
will be heard in several of the states,
and wherever heard a new light will
shrine into the dark corners of this
16 to 1 foolishness. There will be
campaign literature enough to go a

England is torn up over the ques-
ton whether the sea bathing there
shall be merely a solitary wash or a
social enjoyment. In that prudish
country, where no young womap can
come into the Queens presence with
out having her bosom barred almost to
the waist line, it is considered immod-
est for man and his wife and
daughters and other female relatives
and friends to don their bathing suits,
and go into the surf together. The
crusade is being preached against
the foolish restriction, and as a result
real decency will be advantaged by
the change.

AS the situation develops in Mis-

the Republicans carrying the state
ticket than the electoral one, This
is because there will be no complete

standing and great popularity of the

The rapid drop in silver right along
with this agitation for free and unlim-
tied coinage, with Bryan as the expon-
ant of that idea, proves either that the
silver men do not believe that Brayn
will be elected, or it proves that his
election would not raise the price Of
silver. 1t is their own funeral and
they can take their choice of roads to
the cemetery.

MORE souND-MoNEY CONVERTS.
Prof. T.. A. Schultze and j. III. Daily
Join the Mckinley Party.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Oct. 29.-Two nota-
BILE desertions from the Popocratic party
are just made public here that carry con-
sternation into the ranks of the enemy.
They are Prof. e. A. Schultze, principal of
the Noble sville High School, and Mr.. j.
II. Daily, mechanic in the carriage fac
tory of Heylmann & Sons. These gentle
men represent the best element of their re-
spective classes, and both have always been
Democrats. Professor Schultze has this to
say In renouncing his party:
II am against the Chicago ticket because
] believe the continuity of our national lie
hinges upon the supremacy OF the federal
government. and the Chicago platform at
lacks this principle. Because L believe ma
ticnai honor to be the cardinal virtue of a
people, and Individual integrity to be the
greatest ornament of man; and the Chi
cago platform advocates a financial pol
Icy that, in my Judgment. Is a menace TO
the. one and insult to the other. Be-
cause / believe that should the financial
policy OF this platform be put in operation
It would bring about unparalleled hard
ships for the masses of our people. Finally,
because / deem it to be not only the priv
iege, but the duty, of every citizen to rise
above mere party ties and to vote for those
principles that make for national and in-
dividual integrity and honor"
Mr. Daily states his case as follows: I'm
studying over the situation | have con-
Guided that there i q cause for this lack {, <
up my mind that there is a remedy. That
Is. according TO my honest, conscientious
convictions. to vote for and elect Major
Mckinley, who has the confidence of the
country. His election, In my Judgment,
would be followed by a revival of prosper
uy. Regardless OF any issues, it is foolish
TO talk about having business without con-
idence.',

Few Know About the Shakers.
AN INTERESTING, GOD-FEARING PEO-
PIE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD
MANY IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.

We may not accept their peculiar re-
ligious beliefs nor can we enter into the
spirit of their sacrifices. 1t is not neces-
sary to believe as they do, but we can and
do respect their sincerity of purpose and
the honor and uprightness which marks
all their business dealings.
The Shakers have always been successful
inventors, and some of the greatest of the
conveniences of the present day found
origin in their settlements.
In one particular they excel all other men
or classes of men, and that is in cultivation
or medicinal herbs and plants and their
preparation for use. They have made II a
study for more than one hundred years.
1t is one of their peculiar industries. Their
lives have been devoted to it.
Their latest and greatest achievement Is
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is not
offered a cure for all diseases. 1t does
not pretend to be. but one disease 1t will
cure, and that is indigestion.
Sufferers who resort to it's use have not
long to wait TO see the result. The effect
ly gives relief and If continued a perma-
nent cure will follow.
1t not only contains already digested
food but IL digestr food as well, thus tom
ing up the general system. An interesting
pamphlet Is now being issued by the Sha-
kers and can be had for the asking at
almost any drug store.
Trss a twenty-five-cent bottle OF Digestive
Cordial and see what 1t viii do for you.

Is estimated that fully 10000 people took
part in the rally. Montpelier is the hub of
the great Indiana oil fields. and nearly the
entire oil vote was in line for the sound
money candidate. The Republicans of this
city rarely do things by halves. and they
have every reason to be proud of what they
accomplished to-day. They had four times
as many people out the Bryanites did

representative class. 1t was IL memorable
