What right has the Democratic party to
ask the people to trust it when hundreds of
thousands of its own voters throughout the
country repudlated it two years ago?
-Shelbyville Republican.
The shortest, most successful and most
glorious war in history could hardly have
been waged by an administration that was
incompetent brutal and bad, as charged by
the Democrats.-Muncie News
William Mckinley is continuing the
policy that Jefferson began, Monroe con-
tnued. Seward advanced. Grant promoted
Harrison champoned and the growth of the
Republic has Standardization News.
The efforts of the Democrats in this State
to disfranchise ali old soldiers at the home
in Grant county Is, of course, based on their
love for the soldier. They would keep all
political worry from them.-Fort Wayne
Gazette.
There can be conceived no greater calam-
ity to the country than that the cause Of
sound money be put in jeopardy by Repub-
lican defeat in the House of Representa-
tives and the administration checked in it's
policy or enlightened ogreSSlVeness.-Lo-

The splendid defense Of President McKin-
ley made by Capt D. F. Allen at the Loyal
Legion meeting in Indianapolis is very cor
daily approved and Endorsed by the Howard
county soldier boys 1t is the earnest protest
OF one who did not vote for Mckinley, but
Tribune.
Two years ago the Democratic dema-
gogues were moaning over the hard times
and vowing that scarcity of money was
the root of all the trouble. Now they are
moaning from habit and swearing that the
banks hold too much money and inactivity
In investment is the cause of the trouble.
A crowd hard to please is the Democratic

President Mckinley will be in Indiana on
the Goth of October and in Indianapolis from
to 10 o'clock a. M on that day, and it is
desired that every factory whistle in the
State be blown, and every church bell rung
every cannon throughout the State fired
during that hour ON that day. SO that We
may testify our approval of the President
course in the war with Spain.-Rushville
Republican
There were several Republican meetings
held in the county Saturday night and the
attendance, attention and enthusiasm were
indicative that the people are deeply inter-
ested in the coming election. With full
lcan, and the meetings are evidence that
the people are looking after their interests
this year as they did two years ago.

The Bryan nominee for Congress in this
district, C. A. Robinson, in his key note last
Friday evening, made much of the point
that since Congress is granted the power by
the Constitution to s'coin money and regu-
late the value thereof that fiat money is
not only legitimate, but that all our money
actually is fiat money, deriving its value
from the ipse dixit of the national legisla-
ture.-Richmond Item.
The knitting industry in which Fort
Wayne is rapidly leading the world is an
other child of the Mckinley law. Previous
to the tariff going into effect a certain
grade Of hosiery was selling at $s.75 dozen.
Some Fort Wayne capitalists under the
promise of the tariff, invested $50 900 in
starting stocking factory and it has grown
from an establishment of small size,
through a period of business depression, to
one of $250000, and the price of the same
grade of woman's stocking has fallen about
40 per cent.-Fort Wayne Gazette.
This is the dryest State campaign ever
experienced in Indiana. 1t is now only four
weeks until election day and no one seems
to possess sufficient interest in the result of
the election to engage in a street-corner de-
bate, and politics on the street is almost
unknown. What is the cause of this poit-
ical apathy? The answer is that about every
citizen is very we'll satisfied with the status
OF affairs so far as they pertain to the
county, State and government and there
fore no change is Observation-Disclosures Re-
