Going Over To Bryan.

Democrats of Clark county are greatly
encouraged by accessions to their ranks
of prominent republicans. Among the
latest to announce for Bryan and Stew
anson are ex-Recorder Ben j. Ferguson
and Capt. George w. Coward, one OF
the leading pension agents of the State
Capt. Coward served with distinction
during the Civil war and has always
been an ardent republican until now,
Capt. Ferguson was elected recorder
over Oliver Crone by Ill votes. in 1881
and served four years. The paramount
issue of the campslgn-imperislism-
and the fsr-reaching influences of the
trusts, are given by Cspts Coward and
Ferguson as their reasons for casting
their lot with the democrats.

STRIKE OF MEN AGAINST MILLIONS
More than 100000 miners in the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania
are striking against starvation wag-
es. For many months these miners
have averaged wage of 90 cents a
day. They were fortunate if they
got four days work a week.
Even with starvation staring them
in the face the miners delayed the
strike from week to week, and
pleaded with the operators to sub
NIT the differences to arbitration.
The employers refused.
Upon the coal operators rests the
responsibility for this strike and the
consequence thereof.
The republicans realize that here
is most crushing and conclusive
negative to their fiamboyant talk
about "Prosperity" and the full
dinner pail"
The coal operators have prosper
ity. So much of it that they haye
become as arrogant as crowned
kings.
They welcome the strike as an
excuse for putting up the price of
coal TO the consumer.-Ft. Wayne

VETERANS FOR BRYAN.

Old Soldiers Form AN Organization to

Old soldiers have banded together to
aid in the election of William j. Bryan.
A number of old soldiers have effected
an organization to work for Nebraska

ing was held recently at the Masonic
Temple, Chicago, at which number of
Civil war veterans were present, and an
organization to be known as 1.-The
Veterans Bryan League" WAS formed.
All who have served In recent wars
and those who served in the Civil war,
wearing either the blue or the gray,
who are opposed TO the present repub-
lican administration, are eligible for

When the law was passed max
ing it an offense for man to sell his
vote, but providing no penalty for
the man who bought it, Governor
Mount refused to sign the bill, but
did not veto it, and it became the
law without his approval or sigma
ture. This law makes vote buying
easy. 1t not only protects the buyer
but gives him undue influence over
the man whose vote he purchases in
future years. To commit the crime
two parties are required. One par.
ty is innocent of wrong, and the
other is guilty, and yet one has
committed as great a wrong as the
other; in fact the greater criminal
of the two is the one who escapes
punishment. Such a law is a dis
grace to the state.-Columbia City

a quarter of a century, being greeted
with less than 100 people. That
simply shows that the local republi-
cans have no heart IN the cause this
year, and when the issues are con-
sidered it is no wonder that such is
the case. With trusts and war
policy that has the appearance of
being most unjust and wrong, it is
not surprising that the people are
not interested in perpetusting the
administration. = Columbia City

IN HONOR OF JOHN MARSHALL.

The Indiana Bar Association Arranging

Ketchsm, in Indianapolis, Friday to ar
range for the next meeting of the as
socistion and particularly to make
selection of the distinguished lawyers
who are to make the annual addresses
and prepare legal papers to be read on
the occasion. 1t is probable that meas
ures will also be taken for the proper
observance of the Tooth anniversary of
the elevation of John Marshall to the
supreme bench of the United States.

The introduction of Ex-Governor
Taylor of Kentucky and people of
his stamp into Indiana politics is not
creditable to the republican party.
Taylor may possibly not have had
personal knowledge of the conspir-
acy to assassinate Goebel, but he
was indicted for that chime and is
afraid to return to his home and
surrender himself for trial. He de-
livered an address at Selma the
other day and 1t is said was accord
ed considerable honor, but there
can be little truth in the report. H.

come the presence of men like Tay-
lor until they have cleared them
selves of suspicion.-Elkhart Truth.

Among the exhibits at the state
fair this week one of the most inn
portant and one in which the farm
ers of Indiana should feel a deep
interest, is the special corn exhibit
which is under the auspices of the
Indiana Corn-growers' association.
There is no doubt that Indiana has
great possibilities before it as a corn
growing state, and this exhibit,
which is one of considerable magni-
tude, ought to aw aiken the farmers
of the state to the importance of
this crop. The growing and the
most advantageous disposition to be
made of the corn crop, in all proba-
bility, will be an important theme
for discussion at the farmers insti-
tutes for several winters hence, and
the data which can be obtained
through the medium of such exhibits
as the one here referred to are wor.
thy of careful attention.
