Once more the republicansthose remaining regular—have named a candidate to make the race for congress from the Eighth congressional district of Indiana. Os more than passing interest in that connection is the undisputable fact that the gathering was only representatives of the remnant of that which remains from what was once a rock-ribbed republican district, 't hat once great majority has gradually dwindled year by year as the methods of the republican party have been brought to the surface by the white light of publicity; and Monday's convention —where it became necessary in instances to requisition help to make complete delegations—was' but a shadow, figuratively, of what is left of the republican party in the Eighth district. —Muncie Star. And the Star might have added that until this year they have always defended those dark methods so objectionable to the voters of the Eighth district, and they should give an explanation of just what has caused this change of heart this year. They will find that as for six years past the voters will show a decided preference for .John Adair. The progressives will hold a convention at Muncie on the 27th to name a candidate for congress in opposition to J. A. M. Adair and Rev. Watts. The county managers met Tuesday in that city and arranged for the convention. County meetings to select delegates will be held over the district on the 23rd and 24th. Among those who are mentioned as probabilities are Theodore Shockney of Union City, Frank Synder of Portland, Frank Gordon of Bluffton and Ed Tenner of Anderson. This split in the republican party does one thing at least. It gives a number of fellows, who have had political bees for a long time to get on the ticekt. Os course a little persuasion has to be used but they have the advertising in connection therewith, if that counts for anything. Are we going to have an Old Home week in Decatur? Well we guess yes! It’s to be a ripper, a humdinger, a live event by a live bunch. Get in the game and be a part of it. W. .1. Bryan, the greatest political speaker of the age, has agreedto give a part of his time to Indiana. He will tour the state in the interest of Wilson and Marshall, and the democratic ticket Those in Adams county who have not registered, should arrange to do so at the next session of that board, Friday, September 6th. It is an important duty, you owe yourself, your party and your community. The democrats in congress, assisted by twenty-eight republicans, Tuesday passed the bill reducing the tariff on wool, over the president’s veto. It shows the. spirit of the times. The bill is again up to the senate. y«t9i dm THE MYERS-DAILEY COWAN? i I

Adams county democrats should attend the Marshall notification meeting at Indianapolis next Tuesday. The , governor’s speech of acceptance will be one worth hearing, and the occasion will be the biggest event of the ■■ year in this part of the country. Eight populists met in St. Ixrnis to--1 day as delegates to the national con--1 vention. A few years ago the party 1 was fairly strong and held enthusias--1 tic conventions but like all third par--1 ties they dwindled and it is not likely i that they will have a national ticket this year.
