they began TO take an invoice they
found that they were mistaken on that
lire and the Germans really never were
agisated about imperialism and militarism
and that they had no more confidence In
Mr.. Bryan's free silver policy IN 1900 than
they had in that heresy in 1896. In fact.
the intelligent German voter soon dis
covered that Mr. Bryan had not changed
his notion about free silver any more than
the leopard could change his spots, and
the Germans dropped Mr.. Bryan Ike

TALKED OF FARMERS.
THE next loud pretentious claim that
the Bryanites made was that the farmers
were going to vote for Bryan, and that
turned into such a huge joke that they did
rot pursue II more than day or two
and got out OF it by shifting and claiming
the Quaker vote OF the State. Hence. the
Democratic campaign has been one of
claims OF this, that and the other class
OF citizens. without any foundation The
most conservative polling of the State that
has ever been made by any party has been
made by the Republicans on three different

TAGGART AID DOODLE
mfr Taggart. who assumes to be the
whole Democratic machine in the State Of
Indiana is now going about the State with
his Doodle and is doing out the $4,000
that he got from Tammany through Mr.
Croker. and is turning his attention TO
the Fourth congressional district. where
he knows we have the Democratic candi-
date beaten and that we expect to keep
him beaten by such a safe plurality that
there will be no uncertain sound in the
returns. MT. IdBSdTt was III LIE tNdiS
county last week Che county where the
election certificates were stolen, and IL is
reported that some of his henchmen left
the meeting with the Taggart grin on their
faces
1--WE have positive information that a
systematic attempt will be made by the
Democrats TO buy election boards through
out the State, the same as was praSiced
In the last city election in Indianapolis.
with the hope that Mr.. Taggart can get
Mr.. Kern into the Governors Office and
that these gentlemen can use the State Of
Indiana for the same purposes that they
have used the city Of Indianapolis, that
Is. TO sell bonds and borrow money to run
the State government But the honest,
patriotic people Of Indiana will not SUD-
scribe to Mr. Taggart's Doodle proposition.
and when he attempts to spread out over
the State, he will find that the people will
repudiate him at every turn.
There has been a systematic effort on
the part Of this same Taggart machine 20
trade off Bryan votes for votes for Kern.
bur this has been so vehemently denied by
Mr.. Kern that the probabilities are that
they will drop that Still IL is well for
Republicans TO be their guard through
out the State on this trading proposition.
