Entered al the postoffice in Decatur, i Indiana, as sceond class mail. The first duty of every honest man | and newspaper toward the result at [ Baltimore is to recognize in the clear-1 est and most specific manner possible i that a great progressive victory has ! been won At the outset the democrat-j ic convention, like the republican, | was controlled by the interests anil i the machine. But the progressive I elements, led by Mr. Bryan, appealed I from the bosses to the people, and , the result was to drive the delegates | Into support os Governor Wilson. 1 What the nominee's claim to progr“give leadershir is, as well as his ; strength as a candidate, must appear I as time goes on. For the present it ’ is needful c.ily to recognize that the ' democratic. party has met the chnl-1 Jenge by which the republican party ‘ failed at Chicago and has met it in | a different and better way. The stahdpat leaders won at Chicago, b-.it I at Baltimore they were routed by as I brave and brilliant an assault as ever • stormed a fort or swept a bloody field. ' In the light of this superb record how infinitely more stupid and Iniquitous than ever before appears the denial of justice and progress at Chicago! What has been done at Balti- j mere could have been done there, if | those who strove to scuttle the shin ‘ had tried half as hard to bring it sate- ! ,!y into port.—lndianapolis Star. The subsidy election will he held ; next Thursday at which time the vo- i of Washington township and the city ot Decs-tur will say by hallo; ! whether cr not rney will give the I Fort Wayne & Springfield Traction 1 company one per cent or about $35,00 ) j to extend the line to cleneva. The | campaign has been a very quiet one, j due no doubt to the fart that the peo-1 pie have been busy watching the big | conventions. It is important that the I voters take an interest in this elec- j tion. Every qualified voter has the ' right of ballot, whether he has reg-' istered or not, according to opinions ] ■ of attorneys. ~ 1 The Indiana republican convention ' will be held August Gtli. This date j was fixed by the state committee Fri-! day. We had supposed they were tak- i ing the count and did hot intend td ■ awaken until after the election, but some one seems to have discovered that an effort to retain some form ot organization should be made and they will meet on the date mentioned to nom’nate a state ticket. So far there are no avowed candidates, though there is Pome talk of Shank and Lockwood for the governorship. Anti-Saloon workers and the Bertie Witness are referring to Tom Marshall in a manner that is most unfair unless they also take up the record of Jim Sherman, his opponent. If they do that the Indiana governor will look bigger than a mountain beside him. Governor Marshall Is a splendid Christian gentleman, has made a good executive and the people will back him when the polls open in November. W. J. Bryan was given a great ovation when he arrived at. Lincoln, Nebraska, from the Baltimore convention. Even his home folks oegin to realize his greatness and in the years "don’t faTiT TO ATTEND THE JULY CLEARANCE sai.f AT TH WEB-DAILEY CO. -

to come the commoner will be known ; i aa the greatest man of this century. I 1 His courageous stand for the people 1 ' I in the recent convention has made j him grow and he is loved bv the peo- j pie as is no other living man. - - The "Old Home Week ’ is the big thing to think about. There is much work to do and every one should remember that they have a part of it to do. The board of managers will meet within a few days and begin the real work. They will appoint the committees and start on the campaign of invitation and advertising.
