cal party was born in this city Saturday,
composed of Democrats, Republicans and
Populists, and is to be known the re
form movement" They do not desire to be
called politicians" yet they do want to
revolutionize Adams county politics, which
they claim is rotten to the core. A meet
ing was held in the courthouse Saturday
evening, attended by that unlucky number,
thirteen. A resolution was unanimously
adopted to the effect that each candidate
elected must refund one-harf of ms salary,
said money to be used in making an expert
examination of all county records, from the
beginning to the present day This alone
has already caused considerable uneasiness
among the rank and file of Democracy in
this city. They don't want the books cx-
amined. The fact that the ticket suggested
by this convention is composed of leading
business men and politicians of both par
ties has caused the Democratic nominees
for county offices to squirm. The ticket
follows: For representative. Charles Bart
ling, Populist; for prosecutor, Paul Hooper,
Republican, for clerk. John Lose Demo-
crat; for treasurer, Henry Hite. Republican,
for sheriff John Case. Democrat; for re-
corder, William TCCters, Popu1is-; for sur
