The local democrats can't get away
from the fact that past county officials
conducted their business loosely, care
leSSly, in such away as to prove them
public servants without the StricteSt
regard for ScrupulouSneSS as to the
lawful requirements. It's impossible
for them TO get away from the fact
that past officials carried shortages OF
officials before them. They can't get
away from the fact that an audit Of
the books showed 4 shortage of Sl,l17
and that cX-trcasurer S. w. Hendricks
dug up that amount. They can't get
away from the fact that no principal
in Office ever suffered from the mis-
carriages OF the past, while for mis-
appropriating 1887, a deputy is now in
the penitentlary. They can't get
away from the fact that there has
been a collision for years in covering
up this carelessness. The REPUBLl-
CAN doesn't believe for a single min
ute that any democratic official ever
intended TO be 4 criminal while in
the court house but we do believe
that by carelesSnesS certain difficulties
arose, finally shortages became appar-
ent, and lastly, for the sake Of the
party, the officials decided to use the
means within their power to keep the
state OF affairs from coming before
the public. The REPUBLICAN be-
lievcS that but for the election of the
republican ticket two years ago, the
condition of the books would not bC
known today. There would not have
been an audit; S. W. Hendricks would
not have paid into the treasury ~, III,
the shortage OF some official: no dep
uty would have been sent to the
penitcntiary, The democrats can't
| get away from the fact that the con
victed deputy was kept employed
months after the principles IN OtliCC
/ knew that he was crooked and haC
misuSed money What was he kept
there for? That he might destroy al
record of his work, or because they fear
ed the exposure would work harm Il
the democratic party? OR was it that
when the exposure could no longer b,
kept back the deputy could be used a,

make the people believe that every

If it be said that we claim too much
for our party, the answer is that our
claims are true. If it be said that
good haryests have favored us, the an
swer is that corn was so plentiful from
20 to '96 that in some states it was
actually used for fuel, and wheat was
so abundant that its prices fell until
farmers found it hardly worth while
to raise, Crops are as good under OPP
position as under republican admins
trations; but markets are not so good.
Farmers raise as much then as now,
but they could not sell as much then

repeatedly calling attention to the
fact that republican expenditures
have increased from administration

SUPPORT FOR BENEDICT

Harry Z. Negley, who has been candi-
date for the nomination for prosecuting at
torney of Marion county. has announced his
withdrawal from the race. and in doing so
has suggested that the nomination of
Charles p. Benedict. the only remaining
candidate, be made unanimous by acclama-
ton. Mr.. Negley gives as his reason for
Withdrawing from the race the heavy ex-
pense which falls on candidates for smaller
offices because of but one candidate for the
office of treasurer. Mr.. Negley says that
his financial resources will not permit him
to go further in the race.
In announcing his withdrawal Mr.. Negley
made the following statement:
1T is with the most sincere appreciation
of the untiring efforts of my many friends
that 1 now find myself forced to announce
my withdrawal from the race for prosecut-
ing attorney Of Marion county. Until il be-
came certain that there would be but one
candidate for treasurer my chances for sue
