They are defaming the good name of John Adair in Die hope of winning political office. Think of it. Trying to secure the votes that will send him to congress by tearing down a life that is honored. In this day of intelligent votjng, the American people are against the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain. The campaign in Adams county will end in a’ blaze of glory. On October 28 Hon. Thomas R. Marshall will speak here and it will be made an event worthy of the brilliant and earnest candidate for governor. Marshall day in Decatur should be the one great event of this campaign. On October 31, that great commoner, W. J. Bryan will speak for forty-five minutes, and his supporters and friends will make it the one great event of their lives. Get ready for Bryan and Marshall days in Decatur. Just two weeks until the election. Political managers and political writers, predict the election of Bryan and Kern, and the success of the Democratic tickets. All it takes to complete and assure such a verdict on November 3, is for every Democrat to be up and doing. Here in Adams county every Democrat should be a worker. Let not one vote get away and secure all the new recruits that is possible. Make the majority so large that it will ever and always be a proud

tribute to the loyalty of the Adams county Democracy. All the democrats of the state of Indiana and the nation need just at this time is a little backbone and confidence. Such well known experts as Walter Wellman, who has forecasted elections successfully for several years and has made more intelligent guesses than any newspaper correspondent in the business, himself a republican, gives the party an equal show in the state of New York, with Ohio and Indiana sure. If the democrats would put on their winning clothes and take such forecasts as genuine, which they are, the rest would be easy. The tried and true members of the party, it Is true, have been on the losing side so long that a victory seems only a dream, but f*’ith the tide toward Bryan, and a change in the management of the political affairs of the country, we are due for another 1892 landslide. Its coming as sure as fate and the democrats should meet it half way. Keep fighting until the last vote is counted. Put Bryan and Kern in office, Tom Marshall and John Adair, not neglecting the whole county ticket.—Bluffton Banner. Now comes the Hon. James P. Goodrich, chairman of the Republican state committee —and said to be a smooth one in politics —and furnishes a long newspaper article in an effort to give James E. Watson a bill of character. Complaint is (also made that some Democratic ruffians have been maliciously tearing down a good name. Mr. Godrich should not become excited. If Mr. Watson is a saint, and has ben working at it industriously, he need have no fear of a bawdy house campaign. What hurts Jim is that he has been all * things to all men so long that he has been caught with the goods on. Even in this campaign he has been four ways for Sunday on the temperance question. He began by expressing no

sympathy for ecunty local option, but supported it because of party declaration. At Hammond he told the boys that they need have no fear of his administration, and that they could run things wide open. At other places where it was popular, he has been a better temperance advocate than Governor Hanly. The truth is Mr. Watson is to blame himself for any attacks that are made against him. He should have been straight out, hiding nothing under a half busnel. It pays to be square up. The punctures to Mr. Watson's political futkre have been self inflicted by Mr. Watson himself.
