Uncle Nate Hawkins, scheduled for a speech here yesterday, missed the train and there are some people mean enough to intimate that he didn't run as fast as he could to catch it. Ten shadows on Taft’s path to the white hduse may call to the minds of some over-confident people a belief that the third defeat of Bryan is not going to be as easy as the. proverbial “falling off a log.” Ms Watson win have a gr* a t meeting in Fort Wayne and his keynote event will be a memorable affair. But Mr. Marshall will be coming to town b ore long and then you can get a line on the real noise.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. The Daily Democrat joins the rest of the patriotic citizens of Adams county today at the Great Northern fair and consequently we went to press this morning.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says that Wall street ajid the trusts arc satisfied with Taft; that Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie. Harriman and the rest of the nest-featherers are satisfied with what they will get out of it in return for their contributions if Taft should be elected. “But,'' asks the Courier-Journal, “what will the plain, good and honest people in the churches and in the schools, on the farms and down by the purling streams of truth, what will they ‘say to the confidence game of these sanctimonious hypocrites to steal the liberties. whilst corrupting the elections and debauching the morals of the country?
