If the men who believe that the Mckinley
administration has been beneficial to the
country vote as they believe, the ticket of
the Mckinney party Will have large ma
Jor1ty In lndtana.-Orleans Progress.
Union Democrats voted the Republican
ticket during the war, and until the Union
was firmly re-established Gold Democrats
should vote the Republican ticket till fnee
silver and greenback imitation are dead and
buried, or cremated.-Noblesville Ledger.
The horror editor of the Indianapolis Sen
tine is still at large and has displayed rare
talent in his line. He reads books on the
Spanish inquisition and the experiences of
Wildcat Bob among the Comanches dur
ing his leisure hours and is then in a con-
pertaining to the wars-Anderson Bulletin
There is larger responsibility resting upon
the United States than settlement of the
money question raised by Organism and the
Chicago platform, 1t is the responsibility
growing out OF the war. Are. the Indiana
Republicans ready to trust this response
bility to Bryan and his Democracy? If not,
let them vote TO sustain Mckinley this fall.

Senator Turpie discussed the tariff ques-
ton last Monday night The senator is OLD
and in his dotage. and lives in the past. He
doesn't know that the country has sped past
the tariff question and that it is not an
issue in this campaign. But he might. as
well put in his time talking tariff as free
silver, for it will amount to the same in
the end.-Columbus Republican.
In his speech last night Mr.. Watson
effectualy exploded DIR. Robinson's bubble
about the failures in Richmond on account
of the gold standard by giving facts show
ing that the leading manufacturing inStttu-
tons of this city are employing double the
amount Of hands they employed four or five
years ago, paying better wages and work.

The Democratic politicians claim all the
credit for tha ipaIIO1Ira tiOn of the Ia 70 war
but they place upon the shoulders of the
Republicans all the odium for its manage
ment, which they claim was terrible If
the Democrats claim the credit of the war
conduct, we would ask where they stepped
down and out, and why?-Richmond Item
The leaders of the Democratic party who
oppose the war policy and the expansion
policy of President Mckinley, and by their
position are giving comfort to Spain, will
claim that they are as patriotic and as loyal
to the young soldiers and the cause for
which they fought as anybody, but actions
speak louder than words: professions do
not count when votes are in opposition. 1t
is the votes that count.-Auburn Dispatch.
The Democratic proposition is to save
Marion county and let the state ticket 60.
In the county named and to secure addi-
tional congressman, with legislative ma
jority, all efforts of Democratic campaign
work are being centralized. A majority in
gresham and define, Tom Taggart's can
didacy for Governor two years hence. 1t,
too, would give nine more members of the
Legislature to vote for Senator Turpie's re-
election. That is the nefarious scheme, to
kill off everybody but Democratic candi-
dates in Indianapolis. Leon o. Bailey for
Congress, David Turpies for the United
Ststes Senate and Thomas Taggart for Gov
ernor.-New Albany Tribune.
Leon Bailey has made a big mistake in
constantly abusing Congressman Overstreet
for his connection with the monetary bill.
Mr.. Overstreet asserts that he is proud to
have introduced the bill, and the people are
certainly proud that he did. Leading bust
ness men from all over Indiana and the
country met and prepared the BILL and the
business men of Indianapolis were espe-
cially interested in it. 1t provided for cur
rency reform and for thorough establish
ment of the gold standard which was what
the people of the country had by their votes
in 1896 demanded. Every attack that Mr..
Bailey makes on the bill only causes the
business men of Marion county to redouble
their efforts for Mr. Overstreet and make
surer his electiOn.-Frankn Republican.
