When any particularly good proposition in congress has been carried against the vote of the ‘ regular” re publicans, the anti-regular republican papers announce the fact in big headlines, thus: “Insurgents Win Big Victory.” The fact is, of course, that the democrats furnished nearly all of the votes and won the victory with the aid of a few insurgents. District chairman Beebe has called the district organization for a meet ing at Muncie on next Friday, at which time and place the democratic congressional convention for the Eighth district will be arranged. Were Decatur favored with better railroad connections we could have this convention, and along with every other citizen of Adams county we regret that we are in away isolated from the rest of the district. One of the features of the coming campaign will oe tne inauguration of a press bureau wiucn will afford the democratic newspapers of thp state the opportunity of getting the actual political news of the state. This will also afford the readers of these newspapers the opportunity of reading news instead of that which is to a large extent manufactured for the purpose of assisting some political party or some political leader to an advantage. We hope that the democratic press bureau will be honest and candid in everything it may say or do, and thus establish itself on a high plane.

The effort of the Indiana Beveridge organs to make it appear that the failure of the people to re-elect Beveridge to the United States senate will mean that they have been bought up by "the Interests” and are unfit for selfgovernment, is most tiresome))’ silly. What the people of Indiana want is a man in the senate, who, like Senator Shively, will vote for all of the measures that will benefit tbe masses and against all of the measures designed to confer special favors and privileges on a few persons. Such a man is John W. Kern. Mr. Beveridge has himself been the beneficiary of “the interests.” He stands right now for many things that these same in terests want and for very little that the people want. The people of Indiana will show good sense, good Judg ment and a thorough knowledge of the real situation by returning Beveridge to private life. The insurgents lost out in lowa and in Wisconsin they are in a fairway to get theirs. While in Indiana we will have to wait until the election returns \ are all in, yet present indications j point to their overwhelming defeat. I Why shouldn't they be defeated? The : only question in which they differ is ] the tariff, and upon that question they should either be democrats or the) should be republicans. If democrats they are against the protective principle and if republicans they are for such a principle. There is no half way Jumping-off place, as for instance being only for a nominal tariff of a few protected articles. If it is a good thing they should be for it heart and soul and for all they can get of it. If it is a bad thing they should be a democrat and be against it, and be against it from principle. From a republican standpoint the standpat ters have the best of the argument. Call and see the new 66 Singer sewing machine at the Brock hardware store. It NEW HOUSE FOR RENT—lnquire of the P. K.
