STIRRING RESOLUTIONS
Adopted at the County Democratic
Convention on June 18th.
Wp, the democracy of Montgomery of Montgomery county in convention assembled, willing at all times that our adversaries as well as our friends may know where we stand, we declare aB follows: 1. There has nothing occurred in the course of events following our laBt assembly to change our views or alter Dur purposes, but on the contrary much that has happened in the held of polllies still more strongly persuades us of the importance of our cause in perpetuating the principles upon which our government is founded. We, therefore pledge ourselves, with increasing devotion, to uphold the principles enunciated in the Chicago platform, and to maintain the struggle in which we are engaged until the money of the constitution is restored to circulation, ai until the powers of government usurped by the trusts, corporations,, and combination of capital have been returned to the sovereign people. 2. We renew our demand for the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 1(5 to 1, both because such free and ur.limited coinage (and utterance) will conserve the interest of thf people, and because this issue is that upon which the contest for the recovery of the usur ped rights of the people is made, and will be fought out. We are persuaded that were a hundred Klondikes to pour a constant stream of gold into our country, so long as the distribution of that stream is controlled by the power that holds fast the finances of this nation, the condition of the people would not be improved thereby. As in the ease of those manufacturers who stop production at the command of the trusts, justifying their -actions by tne plea that overproduction forces down prices through injurious competition, so the manipulators of our finances would hold in bullion the greater bulk of gold permitting the out-put of so much only as will maintain their interests and power. 3. We are not deceived by the specious plea that we have all the money that is needed, that the banks are full, and money can be had at a lower rate of interest than for many years. We regard this as an unmitigated evil brought about by the greatly enhanced purchasing power of gold by reason of which it is hoarded until the money centers are congested and the general circulation depleted in proof of which stands the fact that there are no enterprises afoot, employment is scanty, wag9Q are low, the mechanic and artisan find no increase in the demand for their work nor increase in wages, save in so far aB they have been affected by our war with Spain. The farmer, although he may have found some relief from his situation through the crop failures of Italy, Spain and France and throuth certain cunning manipulations of fhe grain market, yet finds this relief is only partial and temporary, participated in by very few, the speculator being chief beneficiary of the rise in prices. Already the fictitious value imparted to wheat by the "corner" just broken is declining to its normal condition under the gold standard, and we predict with confidence that when the wheat is again in the hands of the farmer about the Fame old price will rule. !. We demand a vigorous prosecution of our war with Spain until the independence of Cuba is established, and until an honorable peace with tbe Spanish nation is accomplished To the end that the prosecution may be vigorous and tbe purpose in view be quickly consummated, we demand army and navy appointments bo given to competent and experienced men, and not "sons of their fathers" and political favorites of the administration, who •.inMV waste (he lives of our soldiers and sailor* and the substance of the nation in vain. As conquest is forbidden by the express terms of the Constitution we look with disfavor upon any proposal to acquire foreign territory by force of anna save in so far as may be necessary to establish a jlist and free government to be controlled by the inhabitants thereof. Our government entered into the present war to save from evtermination the people of Cuba, and 16 deliver them from the tyranny and barbarism of Spitfin, and give them the blessings of a free government. This purpose was proclaimed to the world.
We cannot£tSherefore escape the charge of hypocriejjJand double-dealing should wo allow ourselves to be diverted from this holy purposejand enter into a competition in land-stealing with the robber nations |of the old world. We demand that |our flag shall he borne un. sullied by such|stain through this present war and|be furled with honor at its close, that (all thejnations of the world may behold a people as magnanimous as mighty,) and all people who struggle
for liberty against tyranny and oppression may look to us and find courage and inspiration. We also demand that when armies of Spain are driven from the island of Puerto Rico that a free government of the people thereof be setup in order that an additional power friendly to the United States, may help to keep the key to the Carribean Sea and the waters adjacent thereto. 5. Devoutly believing that all ot the purposes of the free democracy can be best accomplished under his wise leadership, we renew our pledge of loy«l support in his candidacy for the chief magistracy of the nation to our former leader, William Jennings Bryan, and declare that we find in him all the qualities of mind and heart that tit him tc represent fully the great cause in which we are eogaged. We further declare that in bis statesmanship, his strength of character and purity of purpose we find a suflicient guarantee that the principles enunciated in the Chicago platform will prove his constant guide in the administration of the high office to which the voices of all who love a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people," shall call him who can now as heretofore say with absolute truth

Death of Col. Hallowed.
Col. James Ii. Hallowell died at the home of Mrs. Laura R. Doubleday, on west Main street, last Friday evening, of consumption, and was buried at Oak IIill on Sunday. Col. Hallowell was born in Pennsylvania, but at an early age removed with his parents to Parke county. Ind. During the civil war he enlisted as a private in the 11th Ind. vol., but before its close was promoted for meritorious conduct to the rank of colonel. After the war closed he removed to Baxter Springe, Kan., and entered politics. He was elected and served four terms as State senator. He made two races for congressman at large, and was both times defeated, the last time by Jerry Simpson, the "sockless statesman." Col. Hallowell's wife was the daugnter of Isaae Montgomery, of this county, who together with one son, survive him.
Wilber Hunts Trouble.
Some years ago WTilber Gully, of Coal Creek township, was arrested by Mar. shal Grimes on suspicion of having been the man who shot Will Schleramer at tbe Monon dedot. Schlemmer failed to identify bim and he was consequently released. Since that time Gully has held a grudge against Grimes and has sworn to get even w.ith him. Last Saturday night he came to town, and tilling up on fighting whiskey set sail to whip the marshal. He found him, but before he had a chance to deliver the solar plexis Grimes had him by the throat, and five minutes later he was roasting in the jail. Ho settled with the Mayor Monday morning.

Cory In Kokomo.
Ed. Cory, the Crawfordsville prize tighter, has gone to Kokomo where within tbe next week he will meet an aspirant for pugilistic honors in a fight to a finish some place within the limits of Howard county. Prize fighting has grown popular with Kokomo sports since Jack Tierney landed in the city aad put the Marion fighter out so easily, and they will be a regular attraction for a while.—Frankfort Urescent.
The Harvest.
Wheat cutting will be inaugurated this season in the county beginning next week. Some injury from rust is anticipated.but generally a good yield is expected. The complaint this year with those having wheat to harvest is the very greatly increased pric-^ of twine for binding. Within the past six weeks the price for twine advanced from 7 to 13 cents, and in some localities even higher prices were paid. The prices this year for wheat it is anticipated will average at the opening of the market from 70 to 80 cents.
Nothing But Home Labor.
In tho erection of his new store building Louis Bischof proposes to have all the work possible done by home labor and commenced by having the plans made by a home architect and then let the contract to a home man with the understanding that home people were to have a chance to bid on all sub-contracts and were to be given the preference in every way. This results in material good to home labor. ,,

According to the annual report of the board of commissioners the bonded debt on Juno 1st, 1898, was §28,000. On Juno 1st. 189(5, it was 675.000, a decrease of 847,000 in two years. At this rate tho county will have reduced all her bonds within ibe next eighteen months.

Capt. Allen for Congress.
A special from Frankfort says- "On authority that cannot be questioned, it is assorted that Capt. 'Dave' Allen will accept the democratic nomination for congress from the ninth district against Charles B. LandiB. He will not make the race as a candidate, but if the Frankfort convention sees tit to give him the nomination, he will take it. It is understood that he will not come home from the war to make a canvass, in the event of his nomination, but will leave the matter in the hands of his friends. With Allen as the candidate, Tipton county will be placated and there will be almost a solid front against the republican nominee. "When the question was broached to Captain Allen some timo ago, he absolutely refused to take any hand in the 'ight, saying that he had no desire for congressional honors. Since tho fight against Cbeadle has assumed such proportions, leading democrats have written to Allen, asking him to act as a Moses just this once. They pointed out to him that thero was danger of Cheadle getting the nomination, and with Cheadle as their leader, there was no possible show for success, for Tipton county alone could defeat him. Allen finally said that if the democrats wanted to nominate him he would accept, but he had not the time nor the inclination to go into an active canvass, either before or after the convention, feeling that he should remain with the 'boys at tho front. This decision of the captain will be bad news to the Cheadleites, and already it isstated tha* the Boone county delegation, or at least a majority of them, are willing to support Allen. He will have some strength in Fountain county, and, despite the instructions, it is believed he will get a solid delegation from this county. Tipton county will give him its delegation, and with Allen in the field it is thought the hard tight that iB anticipated at the congressional convention in July will be'off.'
