Entered at the poetoffioe at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter Arrangement for the Kern meeting at the court room Saturday evening is going forward, and it is a safe pre- > diction that this distinguished democrat will be greeted with an old-time crowd. He is a favorite in this county and is always assured of a good audience. The tax rate for the city of Bluffton ■ is $2.14 as compared with $1.83 for Decatur. It won’t be long until some j knocker is arguing that the rate in this city is the highest in the state i and trying to prove IL The rate io both these towns is high this year because they are paying for street intersections, improvements very necessary. It is about time to again remind the voters of Adams county that moving time is over. The election laws prescribe that a voter must live in his precinct thirty days, and as that limit will be up Friday or Saturday, you can not move out of your precinct and still retain your right to vote. Keep this in mind and arrange your affairs accordingly. Adams county democrats are beginning to line up their forces for the election on November Sth. Precinct organization is the one vital point iu success and this part of the campaign work is making great progress. Adams county democrats are working for the largest off-year majority they ever had and if they keep up ' the present good work they will get ' it. In this, every democrat in the' county can be of valiant service. You ■ do not need to wait until you are narn- 1 ed on some committee, for the ’personal work of the individual demo-

I ci at is the real work that counts. Let every democrat get busy. After the speech of Governor Marshal this evening the campaign in this sta’e will be opened in all ns glory. For the rive 'veeka remaining before the election Indiana will ring with oratory and issues will be discussed from all sides. The democrats are entering the campaign facing a bright prospect for victory. Their organization work is more complete than ever before, the tide is with them, they have the best of the issues, and al! elements in the party are harmonious. The republicans have a divided house and are in disagreement over many of the real principles for which they have long contended. The democrats have* every reason to be rejoiced and they not only ought to win, but they will win. Senator Beveridge may be a great man ana a great statesman, but, judged by his own utterances, he has i no interest in the party that has hon- . ored his as a leader. At Mt. Vernon i Friday he declared: "AU we are doing is asking every man NOT to be j a democrat or republican.’’ This invitation to become a mugwump in politics means, if the people accept it, an end of political organization. It means that there is no moral wrong in bolting nominations; that the confidence of candidates who have been placed upon tickets, who are contributing their means and time on the pledge of party friends to support them at the polls, is to be betrayed, and their hopes and aspirations made subject to the caprice of individual judgment. It means disloyalty to principle, for only by united action can principles be made effective. It is a repetition of populism. It is not the democracy of Jefferson or the republicanism of Lincoln. —Huntington Morning Times, Rep. In the speech of the Hon. John W. Kern Saturday night In the city of Evansville, he was greeted by a throng of the voters, all of whom seemed to be enthusiastically for him and for ' the democratic tickets. He was given ! a great reception and his address was ( well received. He paid considerable attention to the record of Senator Beveridge and in quoting from the : congressional record found it in sad variance with what the senator is tell- I

ing his Indiana friends his record was during the eleven years of his career in the United States senate. It is a notorious fact that Senator Beveridge has been everything but what he claims he is now. He always believed in protection and the higher the protection the better it suited him, he always believed in trusts, many times stating that they were but gullding the destinies of the greatest commercial country in the world, but now for political expediency he is for lower tariffs and for smashing the trusts. In other words he is for anything that will win for him a return to the senate.

"Uncle’’ Daniel Weldy of First 1 street was eighty-eight years of age today, and the event was made one of I great pleasure, according to the an- ' nual custom or many years, by his ' children, grandchildren, great-grand-i children, cousins and other relatives, who gathered to greet him in glad family reunion. Young and old gathered there today from far and near, bringing baskets filled to plenteousness. from which four large tables were spread with a bounteous dinner, to which all sat down at noon. Miss Florence Sprunger was present and furnished music for the occasion, and this with the reminiscent conversation, passed the day delightfully. Uncle Daniel has been a resident of the county for sixty-seven years and is one of the truly pioneer ben, contributing much to the growth and prog- * of 'io city ciiased a iarm a tew miles west of this city and at that time only four acres were cleared. He worked diligently until he cleared a farm of one hundred eighty acres of the best land in the county. This with other wealth acquired, and with the good health he enjoys, make his declining years very happy ones. The greater part of his life was spent on the farm, three houses, representing three decades. being built in succession for nis occupancy —the first a log house, the second a frame, and, third, a brick. He has resided iu this city the past eight years. His children, with their families who were present were: William and C. M. Weldy, Mrs. Noah Mangold, Mrs. Arthur Fisher and Mrs. J. D. Gault. Out of town guests were Walter Johnson and family of Monroe, Colonel Albert Weldy, Muncie; Janies Synder, Jack Rupright, Bluffton; Ciscar Weldy and family, Fort Wayne; Ida Weldy, Marion; Rev. Pearl Moore and family, Elkhart. These with a host of other relatives and friends comprised one of the most happy gatherings of the decade. Mrs. L. C. Miller of Line street very pleasantly entertained at dinner Sunday at her home. Mrs. Rachel Daugherty of Fort Wayne and Miss Margaret Reckard of this city. The event was in the form of a celebration of the anniversary of the birth of both Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Reckard, which occurs on the same day, September 29th. It was the best wish of their many friends that they may live to enjoy many more anniversaries together.
