fel'AiN

laid he? pride aside long

fenoUgh to suggest that Uncle Sam pay her debts. NOTHING SO upsets business and brings on hard times as a change in administration.

WHILE times are growing better is a bad season for making a change in political management.

SENATOR TELLER has fused to such an extent that he now finds himself without a party emblem.

EVEN Mike Foley cardsTHE JOURNAL to deny a campaign lie circulated by one of his local party organs.

AFTER the voting is over it will be discovered that the Democratic party has a number of ex-war issues on hand.

THE Frankfort Crescent states that Cheadle will carry Montgomery county by 200 majority. The Crescent is possibly excited.

THE Republican county ticket is pledged to economy in administering the county affairs. If you want the tax levy still further reduced vote for every man on the ticket.

IF the state of New York prefers a Croker made governor to Col. Roosevelt, the balance of the country will not be disposed to extend sympathy.

EVERYBODY knows that times are better than they were two yearB ago and are better than they were a year ago. Everybody knows that times have been gradually getting better since the last election.

WITH the people of Nebraska creeping the names of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet and the Democratic congressional committee trying to smirch the names of the Democrats who fought gallantly againBt the Spanish forces, it would seem that there are certain politicians who have but little use for an era of good feeling.

WHEN a man of opposite politics comes up to you and offers to "trade" at the coming election, pay no attention to him. The chances are ten to one that the fellow has no intention of scratching his ticket and is using a dishonorable method to induce you to scratch yours. When he offers two or three for one you can depend upon it that he is a fraud.

M. E. FOLEY, of Coal Oreek, and J. W. Taylor, of Ripley, are two as uncompromising and radical Democrats as can be fouad in Montgomery county. It seems, however, that they have some idea of propriety and decency, as both of them, on the same day, card the papers to deny a couple of outrageous campaign lies published by a Democratic paper of Crawfordsville. The campaign lie

IB

often a boomerang.

W. H. BLODGETT, the representative of the Indianapolis News, pasBed through Crawfordsville the other day, stuck his head out of the car window, sniffed the fragrance of burning autumn leaveB, and then wrote to his paper an exhaustive and learned article on the political situation in Montgomery county, which as a humorous article completely discourts Bill Nye's happiest sally. The Jfews. should tie Mr. Blodgett up.

CHICAGO Record: President McKinley is the first President who has formally recognized organized labor. He was also the first governor of Ohio to do so. Since he has been President he h&B several times received tbe representatives of the Central Labor Union and similar organizations on official business and consulted them in making appointments to the commission which was authorized by congress to investigate industrial conditions in the United States.

THE Democratic campaign committee in Washington is congratulating itself upon the wisdom of appointing "Coin" Harvey at the head of the ways and means committee upon free silver Democratic organization. Sound money men all over tbe country will be interested in the fact that as a result of Harvey's plan asking for dollar contributions from the free silver men, the Democratic congressional committee is paying cailroad fares of hundreda of free silver voters to their bome6 from WMhlagton.

A LAST WORD TO VOTERS

Two years ago when tbe country was under the blight of low tariff and a financial discussion the Republican party was successful. There were good reasous for that success, but whatever they were, the reasons now are twice as strong. The country prospers as it did in the old days as a result of Republican policies. A failure to endorse the President after his brilliant record might almost be called criminal negligence, for it will be nothing more or less than negligence. The Republicans, if they will come out and show their colors on election day will be in larger majority than two years ago. Therefore we urge every Republican to feel a personal responsibility for the success of the party next Tuesday. Let him do more than cast his own vote. Let him see that none of his neighbors are away from home on election day and that none of his friends stay away from the polls. A strong pull altogether will bring out a full vote and that is sufficient to insure Republican (success,

SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

Congress in unanimously Bupporting the President at the outbreak of the war, expressed thfc overwhelming views of the people of the entire country. The ftl&etlons this month ought to show all the rest of the world that the Americans are not fickle-minded and that they are still supporting the administration. The dilatory tactics of the Spaniards in the peace conference at Paris and in the evacuation conference at Havana are to be viewed with a good deal of seriousness. It might prove very unfortunate if at this critical juncture the elections should 6eem to turn against the President and his policy. This would make the final settlement with Spain considerably more difficult, for it would

unteers of the late war they

en­

courage the Spanish diplomats iu retract the negotiations still more tcii.ously, while seeking ic every direction to draw other European countries iuto the controversy. The war will not be completely ended until peace is signed and declared and the work now in hand by our representatives at Paris is of critical importance. While actual fighting was the order of the day, the country stood by the President regardless of party. But it is hardly less im" portant that this show of unanimity should be maintained while negotiations are pending. Our commissioners at Paris seem to have been managing our case admirably thus far, and high grounds of patriotism justify the loyal upholding of Mr. McKinley's hands. His address at Omaha last week was broad, statesmanlike, and eloquent, and he seems to have grown with his great tasks.— From "The Progress of the World," in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for November.

CHICAGO Record: Captain Lee, the British military attache who was with the army constantly from the time it was organized at Tampa until after the peace protocol was announced in Porto Rico, says that Capt. Fred Alger, the son of the secretary of war, impressed him rnrrb i.han any other young man among the volunteers as a fine type of the soldier. He speaks in high terms of several other sons of prominent fathers who Berved at Santiago, but thinks that- none of them surpass the son of the secretary of war in efficiency, endurance and other qualities which are essential to a successful military man.

WM. E. CURTIS, in the Chicago Record, says: "The Qrand Army of the Republic has done more than any other agency to silence and counteract the complaints that have been made by the volunteers concerning their hardships and their treatment during the late war. The veterans of 1881-65 have made the tenderfeet of '98 ridiculous through the entire country by comparing experiences. They

claim

that if they could have had one-half the comforts and supplies and conveniences which were enjoyed by the

vol­

would

have considered themselves in

IF you have a Republican neighbor, who, you have reason to believe, has not informed himself on the change in the election law, make it a point to go to him and inform him correctly as to how to cast his ballot. Hundreds of votes are lost in this county every y?ar through a lack of knowledge on thr part of the voter. Before you become teacher, however, be dead sure that you yourself are correctly taught.

THE voters of this county will hdvV an opportunity on November 8 to show whether they really believe in lower taxes and honesty and efficiency it their county officials. W. M. White auditor, and Hannibal Trout and A T. Hornbaker, commissioners, are up for re-election and a vote for them ifan endorsement of their policy of debt paying and reducing tax levy.

THE Republicaas of Montgomery eoanty are called upon this year to go to th8 polls early and to work there all day. The eounty is honestly Republican bnt it will require the hardest kind of work to gain a victory. It-alwaye does require hard work and this year there ia especial reMon for a victory.

HOW WILL YOU VOTE?

THE TRUE ISSUE IN THE STATE ELECTION THIS FALL.

Democrats Would Undo All That Has Been Done to the Glory of the Nation by the McKinley Administration Pointed Paragraphs for Voters to Consider.

The recent war, conduoted with great achievement to a magnificent end, has opened up new ways for the United States. One of the questions in this campaign is, shall we still follow the party that has brought the country to graud results marked in new and rich territorial acquisitions, or shall we entrust the future to a party that has always failed in great work? If one's patriotism belieyes in staudipg stil^be cailhofc do worse in cheoking fBcTlpirit of progress tfi&n by voting for Democratic candidates this fall.

The McKipley acftninisfcratioU, splendid in its accomplishment, is as much a figure in this campaign as was his can* didacy and the policies it represented two years ago. The latter for which 828,000 Indianians voted are in course of fulfillment through sound money, unbounded prosperity ana brilliant foreign policy. The administration has done more than was expected of it. Through the successful achievements of war it has placed the nation among the first of earth. Are you going to vote this year to destroy all you voted for two years ago? If so, give the Democrats a helping hand.

If one wants to make the United States the laughing stock of the nations let him support Democratic state, legislative and congressional candidates this fall. By so doing he will express a wish to have all we have gained by war turned back to forces antagonistic to progress and national glory.

The McKinley administration would no dnubr- survive a Democratic victory ihis tali. It irre ir to bo destroyed by any thiuj like Unit, bar it would be tying a millstone around its neck. What the administration wants, and will have, is a congress not only in sympathy, bnt in hearty accord with its policy of national advancement and prosperity.

There should oe no money heresies in the next congress. The work ahead in adjusting the country to the demands national expansion will make upon it is too important to be hampered by "free and unlimited coinage ot' silver at 16 to 1."

What is asked for this year is a sweeping Republican victory in Indiana and all other states where a Republican United States senator and the Republican majority of a congressional delegation are to be gained or retained. That accomplished, the McKinley era of progress will b« assured. There will be no going back to disturbed business conditions and hard times, no backing down from the position of national greatness, no experiments with free trade and free silver.

Free and unlimited coinage of silver was defeated by Indiana Republicans two years ago by a very decisive majority. The backbone of Indiana Democracy was broken, but. there is enough life left in the organization to still dream of success for its follies. It. clings to them because it can not confront progressive Republicanism with any other issue. The party of retrogression has been driven by successive defeats from every position it has taken, and the duty of every one who wants continued prosperity and broad and safe government, is to help defeat it again this fall.

In the present Indiana congressional delegation are nine republicans. A loss of any one of them will weaken just that much the strength needed to sustain tbe McKinley administration that within two years has defined a great, foreign policy, opened the factories of the country, extended trade and increased confidence in United States currency. A gain of any one of the Democratic districts will strengthen just that much the hands of the administration to go on with the good work.

The loss of a legislator this fall to the Republicans will help the. Democrats that much toward the reelecton of Senator Turpie. The reelectou of Turpie would mean that Indiana that voted against the free silver Bryan deBires a free silver senator. On the money question there is no difference between Turpie and Bryan. If the latter was not good enough or safe enough for Iudiana why should the former be trusted. A senator is wanted from Indiana who is not only sound on sound money but is in accord with the new issues that have come out. of the war and as they are advanced by tho McKinley administration. The new senator must bi? a protectionist and a nationalist. The way to secure him is to vote for Republican legislative canidates.

Every voter should ask himself "IIow can 1 bust serve my country?" He will be met by such argument as this, "If I voto the Democratic ticket I will vote to sustain free silver, the unsettling of prosperous conditions the country now enjoys, the trying policies opposite to those that have given evidence of fulfilling the country's greatness. In a word I will vote for uncertainties ajfa.iu.st certainties." The counter argument will strike him this way, "If I voto for the Republicans I vote to sustain tho McKinley administration that has bro,light prosperity and national greaturss, that has given me work for which I am paid in good money and that assures a continuation of good times against the only things possible under a Democratic administration, a depreciated currency and hard times."

Every vote for a Republican eandidate is a vote to uphold the flag at home and abroad. Every vote against a Republican candidate is to put in jeopardy all that has been gained by peace and war in the last two ye-.rs.

If you want to compromise our relations abroad and to institute narrow and destructive foreign policy vote against the McKinley administration. If you want to strengthen our relations abroad and favor a broad, patriotic and safe foreign policy that will continue tka great trade and possessions we have gained vote to sustain the McKinley administration. That administration is represented fcy every Republican state, legislative ud congressional ticket this fall faaaa nun taocean.

SPIRIT OF ANEW ERA

WHAT ONE SUPPORTS IN VOT­

ING FOR REPUBLICANS.

An Illustration of American Patriotism and Progress That Have Electrified the World and

Started the Wheels of Commerce.

if one asks what are the cardinal principles of the Republican party, he need only absorb the following epigrammatic patriotism uttered by President McKinley at the Omaha exposition to find out. "Qua tif the great laws of life is progress, and no where have the principles of this law been so strikingly illustrated as iu the United States. A century and a decade of our national life liave turned doubt into conviction changed experiment into demonstration revolutionized old methods and won new triumphs, which have challenged the attention of the world. "Hitherto, itt peace and iii War, witb additions to our territory and slight changes in our laws, we have steadily enforced the spirit of the constitution, secured to us by the noble self-sacrifice and farseeing sagacity of our ancestors. "We have made the triumphs of our system of government in the progress and prosperity of our people an inspiration to the whole human race. Confronted at this moment by new and grave problems, we must recognize that their solution will affect not ourselves alon«, but others of tho family of nations. "In this age of frequent interchange anil mutual dependency, we cannot shirk our international responsibilities, if wc would they must be met with courage and wisdom and we must follow duty, even if desire opposes. "We must avoid the temptation of undue aggression and aim to secure only such results as will promote our own and the general good. "We never enter upon war until effort fOT peace without it has been exhausted. Ours has never been a military government. Peace, with whose blessings we have been so singularly favored, is the national desire, and the goal of every American aspiration. "The war was no more invited by us than were the questions which are laid at our door by its results. Now, as then, we will do our duty. The problems will not be solved in a day. Patience will be required patience, combined with sincerity of purpose and unshaken resolution to do right, seeking only the highest' good of the nation and recognizing no other obligation, pursuing no other path but that of duty. "Patriotism banished party feeling §50,000,000 for the national defense was appropriated, without debate or division, as a matter of course, and as only a mere indication of our mighty reserve power. "But if this is true of the beginning, what shall we say of it now. with hostilities suspended and peace near at hand, as we fervently hope? "Above all and beyond all. the valor of the American army and the bravery of the American navy and the majesty of the American name staud forth in unsullied glory, while the humanity of our purposes and the magnanimity of our conduct have given to war, always horrible, touches of noble generosity. Passion afld bitterness formed no part of our impelling motive, and it is gratifying to feel that humanity triumphed at every step of the war's progress. "The intelligent, loyal, indomitable soldier and sailor and marine, regular and volunteer, are entitled to equal praise as having done their whole duty, whether at home or under the baptism of foreign fire. "Who wiil dim the splendor of their achievements? "Who will withhold from them their wellearned distinction? "Who will intrude detraction at this time to belitte the manly spirit of American youth and impair the 'usefulness of the American navy? "Who will embarrass the government by sowing seeds of dissatisfaction among the brave men who stand ready to serve and die, if need be, for their country "Who will darken the councils of the republic in this hour requiring the uuited wisdom of all? "Snail we deny to ourselves what the rest of the world so freely and so justly accords to us? "The men who endured in the short, but decisive struggle, its hardships, its privations, whether in the field or in camp, whether on ships or in siege, planned and achieved its victories, will never tolerate impeachment, either direct or indirect, of those who won a peace whose great gain to civilization is yet unknown and unwritten."

Hon. William Vanamee, a leading lawyer, came from the recent New York .Democratic state convention at which he was a delegate, and expressed his intention to vote for the Republican candidate for congress in his district. He will vote that way because he says: "It would be a national calamity, while the foreign policy of the present admidistration is being developed and eriforced, if the hands of President McKinleytshould be tied during the last year of his term by a Democratic majority in the house of representatives under the ridiculous leadership of Mr. Bailey of Texas."

The Democrats have saved one issue this campaign out of the several they tried to raise. They are "agin the government."

ISSUE OF EXPANSION

REPUBLICAN PARTY STEADILY FULFILLING ITS DESTINY.

Democrats Abandon Their Tradition of Territorial Enlargement—What the War

Has Done.

There seems to be a possibility of new nllignments between the people of the one party which has. always boasted of its record in acquiring new territory, and the other, which has acted in a conservative way as to methods of expansion, but which always welcomed all we acquired. The Democratic party now seems to be making a fetich of government inside of our oceanswept coasts, and denouncing what it is pleased to call the Imperialism of the Republicans.

Looking at the matter from these two standpoints, for convenience, let one be called Provincialists and the other Imperialists. The Provincialists seem to be astounded at the tendency of the world to accept as a good thing the principles underlying this nation. They treat merely as accidents the accruing results of the rebellion in Cuba, and the incident starvation, the blowing up of the Maine aurj, the victory of Dewey, while the Imperialists accept them as buglecalls to an awakening to higher duties and responsibilities. Paraphrasing a little, it may be said that out oi the blankness of the intellect and heart the mouth speaketn.

One who sees tho world only as governed by chance is {jivon to regard such occurrences as accidents, to bo thought of a day and dismissed forever. Whereas, in others they seemed to be burned into the moral consciousness, and that as tides of the ocean, they dash on to the furthermost shores of time. And so here we have some of the differences of the classes, or possible parties which may, lor convenience, be called Provincialists and Imperialists.

Why should any thoughtful person be astonished at the expansion of the principles of the nation? We have all boasted of them as the greatest underlying tiie foundations of any other people. Should we not rather expect that other nations should be favorably effected by them? And all such innovation comes through war.

It took war to divest our own of the relics of barbarism, and other uations and people are not less tenacious of theirs. If there is an expansion of the principles underlying this nation, shall we cowardiv ran away from the duties and obligations which necessarily acsompany this? Shall we become frightened and lose faith in the efficiency of their r.p-hft of others? Rather, what danger can come to us if Hawaii and Cuba and Pot to Rico become American, even assimilitei!? The universal ballot, free schools and our free institutions may not obtain instantly in them. It took nearly 100 years preparation for them all to get a footing liure in our coast bound field.

A Little Fue

IIARGESTSTOVE PLANT IN TH EWORIDL

Don't lose sleep. Take

Cherry Pectoral

and lose that cough.

If we have confidence in our destiny, and believe in progress to a common brotherhood and in the final consummation of enlightened civilization, thero sun be no occaion for alarm. If we become provincial and hold to the view that these tilings are accidental accessories and only possible to the states not divided by seas, then there is another Ionsimple and divisions on narrow* party jiuo, tor truth and destiny may be delayed, but the "everlasting years" are tU»irs, and the consummation will come.

Consider the splendid preparation iu this country for such an end. One hundred days lit' war completely obliterated our own sectional troubles wiiu-h had alienated us for more than halt' a ecutu.iv, and now we are united forever, and in tiie-'o hundred days have shown to the world resources in wealth and in all other things which commands the respect of tiie world In putting into force and muuirainiug our principles of government, welcomed where ever our arms have obliterated barbari m. Neither was this unification an accident, lor in all theso things "'tis the Divinity that stirs within us." Without this unification and tins exhibition of force and strength there could be no expansion,

There are strong prejudices against national expansion on aocount of the wise advice given by Washington against "entangling alliances." It should be remembered that there were spec.iij reasons for sum ..:vice, and it was given to meet an emergency which then threatened us. France was in a state of great nnresc and me ertaiuity as a stable government-, and we were taking steps toward an alliance with that initio:: at a time when '-.-e were not strung ourselves. Such advice was wise then, und it would be wise today under like threatened relations. Buc vastly changed conditions in our moral, attitude is acknowledged by all, and in our material strength and power, make it altogether possible to no where wc are mviud, and to maintain our principles of government. In tho assurance that wherever our flag floats over the ruins of barbarism, destroyed by our army and navy, humanity is lifted up, and God is ih re, we should as a nation go forward and build up better civilizations.

If the once great Democratic party shrinks as it now threatens, from duty to humanity, duty to the world and the truth, by becoming Provincial, let the now greater Republican party assume the imperial role, in the sense that imperialism means human enfranchisement, equality of all men before the law, and the carrying of the principles of free government represented by our flag wherever the downtrodden have invited it, outside of our coast lines as well as in.
