Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, «ndiana, as second class matter. The standpat republicans, of whom Brother Mann is perhaps the most distinguished—unless it be the Hon. Joseph Burley Cannon or our own Jim Watson —must be greatly surprised and sadly grieved to realize that the American people have made up their minds that there shall be no panic.— Indianapolis News. Hon Frank C. Dailey of Bluffton yesterday took the oath of office and became in reality the district attorney for Indiana, succeeding the Hon. Charles W. Miller. The latter has made a splendid record and we are confident that Mr. Dailey will so conduct the office that he will receive the highest praise from his political friends and foes, as has Mr. Miller. The republican party of the Eighth district has revived sufficiently to send word to the county chairmen to meet at Muncie next Saturday, when a successor to Mr. Lily, the late district chairman, will be chosen. Just who sent out the cannot be learned, but it is presumed that the choice at that meeting will be entirely satisfactory to our contemporary, even tbougii not selected by delegates chosen at a special primary. The county commissioners of every county in Indiana will soon be called upon to name a highway superintendent. who will receive a salary of 11.500 per year. In most counties this will be done next week and in each county there are a number of receptive candidates. The office was created by the last legislature and the uew official will have entire superintendency of the roads, which are kept up by the! county. A wonderful spirit of optimism that would prevent or cure any panic prevails at this time and the new year starts off with every promise of being the best in all time. Decatur lias a golden opportunity to go forward Hit* year and we ought to do iL Don t be discouraged because something in the past has not been up to your fullest expectations.
