maintenance of sound political principles and
continued loyalty to the party which al
ways keeps its pledges are the price of pros
perity.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
Legislation that promotes the welfare
of wage-earners and increases the pros
perity of the farmer and manufacturer at
the same time is certainly good legisla-
ton. Such has been the effect of Repub-
lican tariff legislation by Congress.-Liber-
ty Herald.
The Democrats are using their most pow
erful magnifying processes in search of
mistakes of Mr.. McKinley's administration
for material to work their canvass on, but
so far have not been able to find any, and
are a party without cause.-Mount Yer
non Republican.
You can usually tell a Democrat this year
when you see him on the street His face
wears a sort OF ashamed of myself ex-
preston. Well, we don't blame him. Any
man with conscience ought to be ashamed
or party that is trying to grumble itself
into power.-Huntington Herald.
The Democratic party opposed the bill
to allow the soldiers in the field the right
to vote in 1863 They opposed the hill
in favor of allowing them to vote in the
recent war, they have brought suit to pre-
vent the old veterans at the Marion sol
diers home from voting and yet they claim
to be the soldiers friends.-Muncie Times.
Democrats claim that had it not been for
their insistence President Mckinley would
never have found the nerve to declare war
on Spain. That was before A charge is
now made against the same man, from the
army to war before it had been properly
equipped. This is after.-Anderson Bulle-
tin.
The success of the Democratic ticket in
November would mean the condemnation
of the administration, the belittling of the
magnificent victory won by our gallant
army and navy, the encouragement of
spain In her efforts to strip that victory of
its legitimate fruits by cunning diplomacy,
and the announcement to the world that
psaIrtlsanshlp is placed above patriotism IN
this country.-Richmond Palladium.
Fred Cutler, of the Sixteenth United
States Infantry. was at home from Hunts
vile, Ala. a few days this week. looking
the very picture of health. He has gained
thirty pounds in weight since he enlisted,
and says all those newspaper stories about
the soldiers being starved false. He
was at Santiago and says there never was
a day that he did not draw more rationS
than he could eat.-Rockford Journal.
1t is just as essential this fall that the
cause of sound money be espoused and
voted for at the polls by Republicans and
soundmoney Democrats as it was in 1885,
when they voted unequivocally for McKin-
ley and a stable currency. The national
legislative body is at stake this year, both
the Senate and House of Representatives
and no moral support should be given the
free-silver heresy by ignoring this fact.

While Hon. John Overmyer was deliver
ing his calamity speech at the courthouse
Tuesday night the bell on the town hall
rang for a meeting of the stockholders of
the Southern Indiana Straw Board Works,
to elect directors for the company, pre-
paratory to erecting a factory here that
will employ from so to 100 hands and furnish
a market for $4,000 worth of straw annual
ly. People in Rockport have no time nor
inclination to listen to calamity howlers in
these Mckinley times.-RockDort Journal.
The record of President McKinley's adj
minstration is witnessed in the victorious
conclusion of the Spanish-American war;
in the acquisition of the territories of Porto
Rico and Hawaii, and in the enlarged in
fiuence of the country in the affairs of
the world. These things being So let ev
cry one who has the best interests of the
country at heart determine to vote on the
Sth day of November next so to indorse
the policy and the administration of that
ablest of patriots-President Mckinley
Pendleton Republic.
Judge Gardiner is making a straight
forward, dignifed campaign in which the
merits of the party he represents are dis
cussed, and his splendid ability, his candor
and personal worth are making a great
impression for him. There is no rowdyism
about Judge Gardiner, but on the contrary
be is dignified, intelligent gentleman, who
would be a credit to the district in Con-
greSS and who could be depended on to
name a first-class member. Judge Gar
diner is such man as the President would
desire as a representative from this dis
trict and every voter who believes Presi-
dent MCKINLEY should be supported and
who believes that the flag of the United
States should hold dominion over the. is
lands recently won through the blood of
the brave American soldiers and seamen
should vote for him.-WaShington Gazette.
