A 20TH CENTURY REPUBLICAN.
Henry D. VanCleave Leaves the Deinocratlc Party and Declares for Commercial Expansion.
Henry D. VanCleave last Tuesday announced that ho intended to begin the year and the century by espousing the principles of the Republican party, a matter he has had under serious consideration for several months. "I want to be known as a twentieth century Repuclican" said he "and I ain heartily in favor of the spirit of commercial expansion advocated by the Republican party. 1 believe in the larger destiny of this country and I want my voice and vote to hereafter be on the side of what 1 believe to be the right. I have carefully studied this question and have been converted from the Democratic party against my will, for I was raised a Democrat and as most people hereabout know have been active in the party work.-'
Mr. VanCleave is quite enthusiastic in his expressions and his departure from the Democratic party has caused consternation in Democratic ranks. He has been prominent in the councils of the Democracy and in 1898 was the county chairman. He was delegate to the several conventions of the party this spring and has always been looked upon as a power in the party.
It is said that there are others who will soon declare themselves as John W. McCardle and Mr. VanCleave have done.
THE 0RAWF011DSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Mr. VanCleave on Wednesday gave THE JOURNAL the following statement: "When in the course of events one who has been closely allied and connected with a great political party, and he, for reasons that are satisfactory to hims ilf as an American citizen, desires to withdraw his allegiance from that party,and to exercise his right of suffage with another great party which he believes is best serving the interests of his country. It is but just to himself and those composing the rank and file of his former party, that he should make a formal statement of his withdrawal. In doing this I leave to the pages of history in the nineteenth century the achievements of my former party that are worthy of consideration of my countrymen. The opening of the twentieth century in my opinion finds the country without a Democratic party. The eastern members of what was once the pride of Democracy, are still struggling to uphold the commercial interest of our country, but hopelessly and overwhelmingly in the minority. The middle and western 'Democracy' we find committed to policies and falacies that I do not believe can ever obtain, and which are wrong as I view it. I believe in a banking system in this country and do not believe in tearing down our national banks. I believe in a sound currency and the statistics of our country verify the wisdom and ability of this nation to furnish a circulating medium in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements of our country's needs. I believe in the acquisition of the additional territory recently added to this nation, and time will, in my opinion, verify the wisdom of acquisition. I

I believe that our peoplo are capable and competent to carry on commerce with all the world. That our government and people can and should do more to Christianize and furnish the highest civilization to the heathen nation than any other country on earth. That our people should be encouraged to carry on the shipping interests of the world and to these ends reasonable provisions should bo made to oncourage ship building, and the maintenance of a large and powerful navy by our government. I find in the recent legislation by and the po.i ies of the present Republican party a nearer embodiment of my views than elsewhere in a groat party. "1 therefore: shall give that party my support, what time I may have tho pleasure of living in the 20th century and add what can in my humble support and inlluence to maintain, carry on, and help to devise for the future welfare and best interest of my country as a Republican. As thero are often those who are ready to assign sinster motives to those who change from one party to another, I desire to say that I. have no motives other than as above expressed.

NEW BRICK FACTORY.
Probability of An Industry Being Located in Crawfordsville That Will Employ Fifty Men.
Mr. Irwin G. Posten, late of the Veedersburg brick factory, is organizing a company in Crawfordsville for the purpose of manufacturing-vitrified brick, The definite location of the factory in this city depends on the ability of the company to secure a suitable site at a reasonable price. That matter is being negotiated now and will be settled probably within a few days. The capital stock of the company is $100,000, of which $50,000 is to be paid in at the beginning. The rest will be subscribed later, as the growth of business demands. At tho start thero will be no less than fifty men employed, the minimum wages being $l..f0 a day.
The company will manufacture the Posten patent block, a superior paving brick of an ingenius pattern, of which Mr. Posten is the inventor. Already 100,000,000 of them have been made at Veedersburg, and are in use in various narts of the world. If the factory is built here this block will be manufactured exclusively in Crawfordsville. The company will also make vitrified sidewalk brick and vitrifiod building brick. The lati is becoming very popular in c^iies now ou account of its superior qualities. Mr. Posten and his relatives have taken over $30,000 of the stock, the rest being subscribed by H.
H. Ristine, Fred Hoffman, James M. Waugh and others.
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
A Gratifying Increase In Membership— Report of the Wire Factory Committee The Annual
Banquet.
The regular monthly meeting of the the board of directors of the Commercial Club occurred last Tuesday at the oflice of Secretary Hulet. The com mittee on the wire factory reported that they had co-operated with the promoters of the factory until the company had organized. Tho committee was highly commended and discharged.
O. M. Gregg's resignation was received and accepted. Mr. Gregg ex plained his action by saying that it was not caused by lack of interest in the club nor want of belief in its usefulness, but simply because he felt that his private duties were all that he could attend to at present and he did not want to hold a position as director unless he could give it a liberal amount of his attention. The board accepted the resignation with much regret. The vacancy was filled by electing D. N. Morgan.
The secretary was ordered to have the articles of association, by-laws and list of officers and members printed as soon as the membership reaches one hundred.
The membership committee made its first report. The following seventeen new members were reported: J. C. Barnhill, B. II. Russell, H. M. Billingsley. John M. Schultz, S. K. Voris, J. L. Beesley, Lew Hornaday, S. M. Coffman,
Louis Uischof, J.
A.
Greene,
M. C. Kline. W. T. Whittiugton, J. M. Malsbary, George W. Steele, John R. Bonnell, F. T. McCain,
T. B. Nicholson.
The total amount of stock subscribed up to date is close to $1,500. The membership committee was instructed to continue its labors. It will bo impossible for them to see everybody and persons desiring to join the club are requested to see the members of the committee so far as possible and get application blanks. The committee is composed of George W. Graham. C. E. Lacey, A. A. McCain and W. F. Huiet. ex-otlicio.

Voris has since sold 2-10 acres of this to G. M. Cowan for $15,000. A K. Peterson sold 205 acres in Madison to F. K, Bowers for $12,S75. The heir of John Tribbett sold 240 acres in Sugar Creek to .1. A. Knettle for $1,'!,200. Thomas Follett sold 21(i acres in Sugar Creek to Silas K. Bowers for $10,000. These farms were all sold at prices considerably in advance of what they would have brought several years ago. The largest deal made in Crawfordsville was the sale by the hoirs of A. H.
Braden to J. M. Schultz of three peices of business property for $20,(100. The next largest was the purohase of tho wire nail factory building by the match company for $12,000.
The mortgage business has been rather lively from the fact that there has been a great deal of refunding. Mortgages drawing seven per cent, were paid oil' and new mortgages at five, per cent, filed in their places. The cheapness of money and the general business activity has also resulted in quite a number of mortgages being tiled. A large number have been paid off, especially mortgages on small farms that had been running a long time.
Wanted Gore.
On Tuesday ,lames F. Boots appeared in the mayor's court and swore out a warrant against Aaron Britton, charging him with having drawn a revolver and of having threatened to kill him. He stated that Tuesday morning about o'clock Britton had approached him near Harper's meat market and had drawn the revolver, nourished it with a threat to shoot, and had accusqjl him of having been instrumental in causing the reduction in Britton's pension. Mr. Britton acknowledges that he cursed Mr. Boots but denies having drawn a revolver ^r of having had one on his person. Mr. Britton has beon angry with Mr. Boots for some time and has frequently threatened him on the ground above stated. Mr. Boots uenies emphatically that he over had anything whatever to do with Britton's pension troubles.
A Country Feast.
A week ago Tuesday it was tho pleas ure of about forty guests to be entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hankins. five miles out on the Tcrro Haute pike. It was a feast of fat things well refined—goose and turkey in plenty with all the accompanying trimminge to match. Thore were neighbors and relatives from a distance, three preachers and some who were not preachers. Songs were sung and prayers offered, and thus closed a model Christmas country entertainment at this hospitable homo.
