Daly, Candidate for Congress, and read what it says of his friendship for the workingman. If you want to vote for A. N. Martin, stamp within the square at the head of the Democratic ticket and nowhere else. The reason that the esteemed (self-esteemed) editor of the Religious Weekly harps so much on the soldier question is that he was told by an old soldier that that kind of talk would hold the boys m line. It is not original with him; hence he is not responsible, a. Democrats have never yet found a Republican in Adams county tq; desert his party. Vote the straight. The Republican party of Adams ' County are working a very smooth scheme to catch unsuspecting Democrats. It is said very often on our streets by Dembcrats themselves, that the Republicans are the best wire-workers, and if the voters of Adams County are not CAREFUL. this statement will be verified, and many an unsuspecting voter will be caught napping. Democrats when you vote the People’s ticket, you vote the straight Republican ticket. “1 AM OUT OF POLITICS,” “BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT,” Is the way George W. Gladden, of Root township, puts it when he meets a Democrat. George W. is a sly old fox, from a-way back. There has not been a Republican Rally,—far or near—that Mr. George W. has not attended at every opportunity.’ He is “not” out of politics, however, when he works against Democratic principles. If Mr. Gladden were as truthful as he would have Democrats believe him to be, “Out of Politics,” why so •jnuoh interest? Mr. G. is the “high-muck-a-muck” of the Republican party in Adams County, and is performing the same duties (politically) as did Judas Iscariot when he betrayed Christ. Democrats Shake him. 1 The St. Louis Globe, a hidebound I republican paper says this of Judge j Rea: The flop of Judge Rea signifies that the Grand Army of the • Republic was deceived in him when J it chose him for its Commander-in-Chief some years ago, supposing him to be entirely loyal to its interest and sentiments. i Because a soldier—one who has been highly honored by his comrades —is denounced as not loyal to the “interests and sentiments of the Grand Army because he choose to vote for Cleveland and because he gives as a reason for it that Mr. Cleveland is a true friend of the soldier. The Grand Army is not a political organization, and yet a member is denounced as not loyal fO it because he exercises his political rights |s an American oitizen. I What is the limit of Republican

L U DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, NOVEMBER 4, 1892.

Democrats of Adams County, it is your duly to rebuke the insults you received from Republicans, when they asked you to affiliate with the people’s ticket. You can do this by stamping the rooster at the head of the ticket. There can. be nothing gamed by scratching, or voting a mixed ticket. This is a Republican scheme to get Democrats bemuddled. They have only two names on their (Republican) ticket. Os course no Democrat would think of voting for either of them. That is not what they expect of Democrats. That would be altogether too open. But they do think that. they can get unsuspecting Democrats to vote a mixed ticket, and thereby defeat the election of Hon. A. N. Martin through mistakes in stamping, by “scratching” the County ticket There is no earthly possibility of reducing the Democratic majority of Adams County sufficiently to elect a single man on the people’s ticket. Republicans have no such expectations. It would be an insane idea for any voter in Adams County to entertain such an opinion as this for even a minute. The principles of Democracy are unquestionably the principles of all liberty-loving people of America, and upon that principle it is your duty as Democrats to rebuke this insult and vote the ticket straight, by stamping the rooster square only, and victory is ours on the evening of Nov. 8. Democratic Meetings. The following, Democratic meetings are announced: • Hon. John T. Fiance, at Monroe, Nov. Ith. Hon. R. K. Erwin, at Washington school hense, Washington township, Nov. 4th. Democrats are “Imps of LkU, Language of Ira J. Chase, Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana. Voters of Adams County what do you think of the language? Democrats -of Adams County will Let no “Returning Board’’ decide their ballots as was done in ’76. Republican Scheming and Thieving will forever be silenced on November Bth by the United strength of democracy. Vote the ticket straight. Cul Whipple, of Portland, was among the many Democrats in town yesterday For Sale—lmproved farmsand timber lands, also town property at prices to suit purchasers. Schurger & Reed. 42* Mr. J. J. Swift, of Bobo, a gentleman of thorough Democratic principles, made this office a pleasant visit Thursday. Harvey H. Hart, for the past three years in Uncle Sam’s service, at Columbus, Ohio, returned home on Tuesday. If you want your gas fitting done in first-class shape and warranted call on A. VanCarpp at planing mill on First street. 7tf Let the democratic majority of old Adams county swell to the tune of 2,000 on November Bth, next. Remember that you are democrats. Mr. S. Woli, whose eye was operated on by Dr. Wheelock, of Ft. Wayne last week, returned home Tuesday, with no hopes of saving the bye. The wisest course in politics is to vote for the best man, and you cannot be mistaken. So, in the use of blood purifiers, you can't be mistaken ifyou take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, because all parties agree that it is the best—the Superior medicine. Democrats of Adams county vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. There can be nothing gained by affiliating with any other party. Let us be Democrats of the JEFFERSON - JACK- | SON stripe. J

DEMOCRATS! DEMOCRATS! And Nothing But Democrats Adorned Our City Thursday. 10,000 People in Line and on our Streets, i The Most Enthusiastic Demrcratlc Demonstration ever held In Decatur. Speeches by Senator Turple, Hon. David McKee, Hon. Leon Bailey and Hon. A. N, Martin. Unprecedented in the history of Adams county was the Democratic Rally of last Thursday. The old-time custom of forty years ago, when hickory polls—an “emblem of Democracy” were conspicuous on such occasions was revived. The pro cession occured at n o’clock. Sixty-five wagons loaded by 225 voters from Preble township were in the procession. Foui six horse teams lengthened the line of Cleveland followers. The procession that occurred during the day was enough to convince the people that the Adams county Democracy is more enthusiastic than it lias been for years. In the afternoon Senator Turpie and Hon. A. N. Martin poured cold lead into the McKinley talacy. The Hendricks Club of Fort Wayne came in the evening, accompanied by the Ft. Wayne band and drum corps. Eight bands furnished the music during the day. The number of badges worn by voters was enough to convince the most despondent that Adams county will give 2000 majority for justice to all. Every township within raoge was represented in the parade. Many- Republicans have come out boldly and denounced the party of unjustice and will cast their ballot for Cleveland and Stevenson. A land slide will occur next Tuesday in favor of Democracy and Adams county will glide along wtth the nuking current NOTES. Miss Eva Patterson deserves great praise tor the part she took in the procession as the Gbddess of liberty. James Bennett will vote sot equal rights for all and he does not care who knows it. The Hendricks Club of Fort Wayne arrived at 7140 on a special train. They numbered 300 strong. They are a fine looking body of men. “Our Dick’s” badges were not kept in the background. Fred. C- Boltz, John Mungen, Christ Enteman and the only Gart Shober on earth were very conspicuous persons in the Hendricks club, of Ft. Wayne, as they marched on our streets Thursday night. Major Byers and aids were all military in receiving the delegations. Capt. Girard with his troop of Cleve land & Stevenson voters made a very military appearance. We had the pleasure of meeting Hon. Joshua Strange, the People’s candidate for congress, this week. While a pleasant gentleman when talking politics, he said they would make a big hole in the Democratic party in Adams county, but did not say one word about getting any Republican votes. How does that look to Democrats? Jacob Brennaman, of Berne, made this office a pleasant call on Tuesday last A fine upstairs room for rent. Enquire of Ed. Ehinger. 30-ts Will Christen, architect.
