MEW YORK STATE The outlook for Bryan in this state is not as desperate as many think it it. New York is fighting ground. Bryan is not feared as he was when be ran before. Nearly all of the gold Democrats are back in line. Tammany will give Bryan loyal support. There Is a distinct trend of the labor vote to the Democracy this year, and the men who "want a change” because of hard times, the negroes and the offended “personal liberty" people will all help. In short, the present .conditions promise to bring New York back to its former status in presidential compaigns—a close state. ..Hearst's party is not cutting much figure. They say down here "Hearst is politically dead." Most people look , upon his own little political party as a scheme of private revenge, as a convenient way of voting the ticket, and the Hisgen vote will not be a large one.,While Hearst’s papers give Bryan the hot end of the poker all the time, an unexpected effect has been to drive the World to Bryan's support. Colonel Watterson has been doing some good work in that line. He saw his opportunity, held a conference with Mr. Pulitzer, pointed out that with Hearst running amuck the World had the chance of Its life to win the favor of the Democratic people and now the World is daily publishing effective Bryan editorials. Although be bitterly opposed Bryan’s

nomination. Mr. Pulitzer is able to| support him for election without any abvious insincerity, basing his argument upon his constant and powerful "opposition to a government of plutocracy and privilege.” and the statement that the World is “not concerned with a man but with principles.”„So Mr. Bryan ought not to feel very badi ly about the newspaper status in the metropolls.„To say the least the accession of Pulitzer is a fair offset for the loss of Hearst.—Walter Wellman, in the Chicago Decord-Herald.

The first note of the campaign was sounded in Adams county last night. The old wheel horses and many new and younger ones were there. The smoke of battle seemed a pleasure and from now on they will fight unceasingly for the principles in which they so firmly believe. — The report of City Treasurer W. J. Archbold appearing in this issue shows a reduction in the indebtedness of Decatur of nearly $37,000 in about eight years—a record to be proud of. The financial standing of our fair city is again beyond reproach, our credit first ciass and due credit should be given the administration for this condition.

The opening of John Adair’s campaign in Adams county was an auspicious one. occurring at Monroe, the exact center of the county and the capital of as thriving a section of ' country as lies out of doors. Not a I one of the several hundred voters who heard the congressman’s clean-cut. i fearless, manly speech, but respected him and most of them will fight for his return to the halls o( congress. His address rang with honesty, a sense 1 of duty and his many admirers here know beyond question that he can be j trusted to look after the interests of the soldier, farmer, business man and every ciizen of the district, be he ■ rich or poor.
