The following are the names of agents already appointed, and our patrons at the several offices will do us n great favor by remitting to a “little money on subscription: ” C. W. HOCKER Monroe JOHN i). HALE Geneva El GENE MORROW Linn Grove Attention, Democrats! The Democratic voters ’of the town of Decatur are hereby requested to meet in caucus on Saturday evening, April 30th, 1881, at the court house, at 7 o’clock sharp, for the purpose of putting in nomination a ticket to be voted | for at the corporation election in May. Let there be a full attendance. By order of N. Blackburn, Chairman Cen. Com. —Whitelaw Heed has retited from the editorship of the New I ork Tribune. —Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, died at five o'clock on Tuesday morning. Beaconsfield was a profound statesman and author. In his death England loses one of the grandest men she has produced. His age was seventy-six years. —A betrayal of party trust, or a betrayal of any honorable trust, does and I ought to subject the betrayer to the utmost disrespect of the one betrayed. Open betrayal Ijke that of Mr. Baker, of Jay county, is sufficient to render a sane and intelligent man odious to persons in general, but a betrayal like that of G. W. Riley, of Geneva, ought to render him purely obnoxious to the party he sought to assist as well as the party he so shamelessly betrayed. Mr. G. W. Riley is a resident of Geneva, the second town in population and I importance in Adams county. For | many years he was identified with the Democracy of Indiana. Some years ago he published the Fort Wayne Nentinel, one of the leading Democratic papers in the State. In May of last year he was a candidate at the Democratic Representative convention for--office of Representative from Adams, Jay and Wells counties. Fortunately he failed of a nomination, Rev. D. F. Kain having been the successful candidate. There were several go:d, true, honest Democrats who labored conscientiously for the success ■ of Mr. Riley, and had he begun his , campaign earlier it is by no means improbable that to-day he would be our Representative. During the campaign he sought every opportunity to impress upon our mind the fact that he was zealously laboring for the success of the Democratic ticket, and that he was a true and trustful Democrat. We had no reason to doubt his word or impugn his motive in thus addressing us. Some months after the election Mr. Riley sought another opportunity to express to us his heartfelt regrets over the Democratic defeat. He earnestly hoped it would not always be so; but Capt. Riley did not mean what he said. He was deceiving us, as a letter in the hands of an honorable citizen of Winchester, Ind., irrevocably demonstrates. How the letter came into the possession of the Winchester citizen is not necessary for us to relate here, but will do so if demanded by Mr. Riley. The substance of the letter is as follows: “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN . “This is to certify that the undersigned know Capt. G. W. Riley to be a good and efficient Republican, sound to the core, and in every respect worthy of favorable consideration.’’ The letter is signed by the Auditor and Clerk of Jay county, by the editor of the Winchester Journal and by the Republican members of the Winchester bar. Now, what is the inference ? Mr. David Baker, a man so absolutely destitute of political honor that even Republican members of the Legislature treat him with less than dog respect, was nominated and elected to the office he so unblushingly disgraced by the Dem ocrats of Adams and Jay counties. Mr. Riley was a candidate before the Democratic convention for the office of Representative from Adams. Jay and Wells counties. Baker succeeded and turned out to be a little brainless squirt, who struts about like a bantam rooster whenever he see his name in print. He betrayed the party that elected him, but didn’t have sense enough to comprehend what a ridiculous ass he made of himself. We ask the question : Was it a pre-arranged plan for these two men to secure an election and then betray the party that elected them ? What is the reasonable inference ? But is it not humiliating to know that Capt G. W. Riley, a man of education and ability, a man who is respectably connected, and a man who has for years enjoyed the social and business relations, the respect and es' mos the first men of the State, and we may truthfully say the mttion, has committed an act that lowers him to a level with such a man as 1 David Baker? These betrayals will be a warning to the Democracy to in the future nominate none but true men. Public Sale oi* Kcal Estate. !
