HELLER, Manager, Our ambassador to Great Britain has announced the engagement of his daughter to a “brother of the Earl of Dudley.’’ The future son-in-law is said to be “a favorite-with King Edward,” to whom he is “an equerry-in-waiting.” It is further said that he is a “wellknown racing man and an enthusiastic sportsman.” And so it goes. The Indianapolis Sun, which, under its present management, is independent in politics, says this about Mr. Bryan: * “There is one man in the Democratic party who is in full accord with and who was the original advocate of many of the most popular things that Mr. Roosevelt has undertaken He is the choice of the masses of all parties as well as the Democratic party, and for this reason William Jennings Bryan is going to be nominated at Denver in July and elected at the polls in November by a repetition of the popular vote which was accorded Mr. Roosevelt.” Not only the Indianapolis Sun, but most of the other really independent newspapers express the same opinion. Such hold as Mr. Roosevelt has had upon the people of the country has come from his espousal of certain policies put forth by the Democratic party and Mr. Bryan long before Roosevelt became president. To the extent that he has steadfastly adhered to such policies the president has been approved by the people. Mr. Bryan stands for all of the great reforms which the people are determined to bring about.

MARSHALL’S TALK (Coßtinued from page 1.) didates the committee spent the time talking of organization and planning ways to impress the public with the sincerity of the democracy this year. In the opinion of the committee the tariff question should be made one of the issues this year. The trust evil, the committee thought, deserved consideration at the hands of campaign orators. Early in June each district in the state will be organized by counties. A special date will be announced for each county. On this date the district candidates will visit the county and assist in forming rn organization for the campaign. HARMON CHOSEN Will Head Ohio Ticket as Candidate for Governor of State BRYAN PLATFORM Convention Was An Exciting One—Delegates to National Convention Selected Columbus, 0., May 6. —In a tumultuous convention characterized by the most intense factional feeling, fche Democrats of Ohio today nominated Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, exattorney general of the United States, under President Cleveland, for governor, indorsed William Jennings Bryan and instructed the deledates at large to the national convention to vote for him for president. A complete state ticket was nominated and ex-Governor James E. Campbell, of Butler county, was indorsed for United States senator and delegates and alternates at large to the national convention selected. National issues were left to the Denver convention, and the platform dealt solely with state questions, attacking the Republican administration of various state officers and indorsing especially the initiative and referendum n state and local legislation and the taxation of franchises.

Schrock Chosen President of the Commercial Club BY THE DIRECTORS L. A. Graham, Vice President, Dr. Archbold Treas. and E. B. Adams Secy. The directors, recently elected for the Decatur Commercial Club, met last evening and selected officers to serve during the ensuing year. Those honored were Will P. Schrock, president; L. A. Graham, vice-president; Dr. Roy Archbold, treasurer; Earl B. Adams, secretary. These offices are worthy and capable and the clubs affairs for the ensuing year are in safe hands. During its career this institution has done more for the benefit of Decatur, in the way of securing factories which give work to the laborers, and to increasing the city’s population, than has any other. The work is only begun and each year should bring forth new results. The new officers realize this and will bend every energy toward that end. To do this of course, they must have the assistance of every member of the club and every public spirited citizen of Decatur, and this they sincerely ask. MRS. ALLIE WORKINGER.
