Peck of Wisconsin, accepting the invitation to attend the banquet at Murat Temple on April 17th is so original in style that everybody will read it with pleasure. It follows: ‘■Colonel Wunam u. Liner, President National Democratic League of Clubs, Indianapolis. Indiana: "My Dear Colonel: —I am in receipt of your letter and a copy of the proposed call to which you are at liberty to attach my name. “While I am in no sense ‘leader’ of our grand old democratic party, I want to do all in my power to help it on the road to success everywhere in the country. I would like to be in Indianapolis at the time of the meeting, just as a plain democrat, to see democrats in a bunch, enthusiastic and confident, so I could catch them in the act of thinking that we have got the republicans demoralized, panic stricken, frightened out of their boots and on the run, clothed in nothing but tar-iff-protected shoddy, their stomachs empty of nourishing food on account of trust prices, and the devil to pay in the quarrelsome old party of Lin-

So If I may have a back seat near the fountain of youth that makes , all Indiana democrats kids during a [campaign, and wise old guys after the [campaign is over, and they win, I will come and bring along some of the Wisconsin democrats, who are young- ; er than I am, and have got more gin- [ ger in their systems, men who are ! now upholding the banner of democ1, racy in the Badger state against great ' I odds, doing picket duty in the cold, like the patriots at Valley Forge, loyal ' to the memory of Jackson and Jeffer- ' son, and ready to fight at the drop of the hat. • I wish your clubs great success and assure you that I am never quite so happy as when looking into the faces of democrats who know why they are democrats, and who cannot be scared, or bribed, or fooled by the republican party foxy grandpas, and who can smell a political gold brick further than a pointer dog can smell a covey of quail. "With kind personal regards, • Yours very truly, • "GEO. W. PECK.” ABOUT THE SICK. L. H. Purdy of First street is quite sick with lumbago and complications. Mrs. Dan Haley went to Ft. Wayne this morning to be with her daughter, Mrs. Ross Joker. Mrs. Joker will be required to undergo an operation of* the throat it is thought, in a short while. She was formerly Miss Daisy Haley of this city. Henry Scherry of Preble went to Fort Wayne this morning to consult 1 the eye specialist who has been treat- 1 ing him during his eye trouble of long standing. It is thought by the physician that the last operation on Mr. i Scherry’s eye will be successful, i though the outcome cannot be fully 1 determined yet. The eye is not at i present giving him so much pain. FOUR FAMOUS BELGIANS. In addition to the three Belgians that I have had for service, I have added another bay Belgian, five years old, weight 2100 pounds. He is as [ ' good a draft horse as Adams county; ‘ can show. I will not move any of 1 these horses, keeping them in my, 1 barn at Monroe the entire time.
