Office In Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground door. Fostoria, a small town in Ohio, largely composed of a negro population, gave its solid vote for Cleve land and Stevenson. Gov. Chase has issued the customary Thanksgiving Proclamation. Thursday, November 24th, is the day named for this occasion. The admission of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico to the Union is now but a question of a short time. This will mean six more Democratic Senators and the abolition of po--1 y gamy. The State Road Congress meets at Indianapolis on the Gth 7th and Bth of next month. Let the farmers of Adams County see to this at once and let each township send at least one delegate. jA remarkable man is John Kingsley, of Lost Creek, Center township, Kentucky. On Sunday, last, his sixth wife presented him with his sixty-first child. Os these fifty are living and forty-six are married. Isn’t it wonderful how some people get wrapped up in business? We have a man in our town whose business is actually causing the sale of his house and lot. No longer than the 4th inst. it became so volumnous that it caused him to loose his grip on the Decatur postoffice. Why not kill two birds with the game stone —select suitable grounds for Adi ms County Fair, and appoint delegates to Road Congress? There can be no mistake made by the business men and farmers of our county in pushing this matter while the opportunity is ripe. It should be attended to at once. The Statesmen of our country,— that is, the republican Statesmen, are looking about in order to ascertain the cause of the landslide. They simply built on a false foundation. They forgot that this is a government of the people and by the people. They were legislating for the classes, and hence the cause. 0 Business men of Decatur don't ■wait for some particular one of your number to introduce the necessity of sending delegates to the Road Congress next month, but let there be a simultaneous coming together. We need a system of better roads in Adams County and now is the opportune moment to have legislative action on this subject. "2.'. I SW The Democratic party holds a commission from the people of Ihe United States to reform the tariff, and this will be done in spite of all the howls and warnings of the Republican party and There will be no backward movement. The war tariff will go, and yet in doing this the Democratic party, with its conservatism and its discretion, will so order these changes as to bring no disaster upon the country. The civil service commission has requisitions for thirty-seven teachers and nine physicians, both male and female, for the Indian service, which it has not been able to fill - because there are not eligible applicants enough to meet the demand. Those who desire to apply tor examination should write to the Commissioner at Washington,. D. C., at once, and procure an application blank and a pamphlet of interactions. Most of those who have passed the examination heretofore have received appointments. The next examination will be at Indianapolis. Nov. 23; 1892. .

Let the merchants of the city of Decatur, the towns of Berne and Geneva assist in sending delegates to the Road Congress to be held in Indianapolis on the Gth 7th and Bth of December, next. This is a matter that interests everyone,—no matter whether of the same political faith, religion, occupation or residence. The business men of our city should not let this matter go by unnoticed, but take hold at once, as the time for action is close at hand. Who of our merchants will cut the start? “While giving every county in this Congressional District due credit for the glorious work done in the great fight of Tuesday, Now Bth, the “Banner” feels that we voice the sentiment of every one in placing the brightest crown on the brow of Adams County, which gave Cleveland 1,700 and Martin 1,725 plurality over the Republicans.”— Bluffton Banner. Thanks, Mr. Banner, for the compliment you pay us? Adams County will always be found at Head-quarters when Democratic duty is to be performed. Our quoto of votes as reported to the chairman of State Central committee before the election was fully lived up to, and several hundred more were giyen than promised for good measure. Whenever the Eleventh district needs any assistance for Dem ocratic purposes, call on Adams County, and she’ll get to the front every time. The 4th of March cannot come too soon for the men who are after the offices, but no Democrat is anxious to hold John I. Davenport’s obnoxious job. Democrats are almost unanimously of the opinion that the Federal Election law should be speedily repealed and Davenport legislated out of office. It is believed that the Fitch investigating committee will make a report to that effect, As chief supervisor of elections for New York city, Davenport collects fees from the United States for all the arrests made by his authority. He makes and verifies his own complaints and charges for drawing up the complaint and for the oath. He then charges for the warrant of arrest and for the arrest, for the order of commitment and for committing the prisoner, for making out each paper, for swearing to it, and for each other act in the proceeding. ; The total amount is $5.95 for each person arrested, committed and held to bail for trial. Davenport gets nearly $30,000 for arresting 5J)00 unoffending individuals, for sending them to jail and for admitting them afterward to bail. They are never tried. It is a lucrative rascality. “All hopes of breaking the solid South have gone glimmering, and reports from that section plainly indicate that the rebels still remember their friends, and that secession still remains true to those who aided treason’s cause when it was being trampled on by Republicanism.— ’Winehwter Ilertdd. Who in all this broad land of ours can read the foregoing article without feeling a sense of pity for j the imbecile who penned it? It is | the language of a, coward, and a l greater rebel never lived in the i “solid South” than the editor of ( this base sheet. Can .it be that a man with such a narrow-contracted mind, —bordering x>n insanity— I will attempt to aid in directing the course of progressgye thoughts? Is it any wonder that m«n pf intellect look down in disgust iipo* so many editors? But little did we think, while fighting for our country almost thirty years ago, that we in after life, would have it said di us that we aided treason’s cause. \Ve would feel grateful to the, 1 above editor if he would publish his war record. JU 9 language is not the language of a fcOWjer, nor the son of a soldier. It fiQUudt more like the howling of a whipped 1 cur. Oh, for a class of higher minded editors, —editors of judgment who are ruled by -sense and not passion; editors who are not the laughing stock of the mediocre or editors who are not derided by the mental dwarfs for their stupidity.

Adams County Democrats In the Last Campaign. We Stand at the Head of The List In The Eleventh Congressional District. The National election is over and the result is known. We can now pause and look back over the battle ground. As we said some time ago, Adams County is but a small faction in such contests as we witnessed during last week. We are only one out of 92 counties that compose the great commonwealth of Indiana. Yet the anxious eye of the State watched over the movements of the Democracy of this wide-awake County of ours. While the conflict raged oqr Jine of battle was attacked in every conceivable manner. The enemy did not fight openly, but singled-out certain ones whom they considered weak, and tried to overcome them by strategy. Our worst enemies were not the honest, openbearted and fair-fight-ing republicans, but renegades from every other party that would not tolerate their unpolitical principles. There is always a class of cronic kickers, with whom no one cares to affiliate. These people, as every one knows, were disposed of by democracy at the primaries that have been held from time to time. They are not the class of people to lead honest citizens at any time, and it matters not how often they are rebuked by the public. They should learn that the people want leaders that have aims that are above selfish desires. they want to do the people a kindness, they will quit pushing themselves forward as generals and captains and convince the people that they are trustworthy privates, and promotion according to the services rendered will be their reward. But as long as such men as these lead new enterprises, even the most ignorant can read the word fate which is posted on the front rank of the movement. We do not intend to abuse these men. That is not our aim. It is our purpose to give vent to the good feelings that we hold for the two and one half thousand democratic voters who were too sensible to go rainbow-chasing with a set of cranks. The Democracy of Adams County did a great work toward replacing the reigns of government in the hands of the people where they belong. The contest that we have just passed through was a National contest, and the fate of the nation was determined by the good sense of the individual voter. In this respect the Democrats of Adams County were not found wanting, and our neighbor presses were not slow in commenting on the sagacity of our people in dealing with the scheme that was put forward to spread havoc and disaster within the ranks of the honest voters. The great majority that our people gave Cleveland and Stevenson not only proves that they were on the alert and equal to the emergency, but it proves that from a political standpoint, they are in tbe front ranks of progress and in perfect harmony with the spirit of reform; hence they were not in the pathway as an obstruction to the great political avalanche. We trnly feel enabled to say that henceforth pur people will present a solid front in opposition to the progress of deception as was practiced in onr last campaign, They will know their own business and fnepds, and soreheads will refrain from seeking eopsojation at their hands. This rebuke will sorely have its effect upon them, unless they are entirely beyond the reach of redemption. We really feel proud of the fact that we can be found in the ranks ot an intelligent body of voters. The result of the election serves to confirm tbe belief that is almost hereditary, especially in “Free America,” ’ 9 lal tbe raa ' jority of the people can be depended upon. They wiU b<? found in ,tbe right in time and it is safe to confide in their decision. We would say more in reference to the county Democracy, but the voters conduct speaks for Gimp volumes o-t The result showed plainly that w were not slumbering in the sf 2nee, a# our adversaries supposed, The Kvfylt further showed that our farmers and realize that the Democratic patty is tlie i the people, and it is just as impo.?-’ sible to fuse the interests of the! people with that of Rep.utouca.nj/qn. j as it is for a blacksmith to weld ■beat and cold. iQuv people are not aMeep: so come again and you will find us at and wide awak;e.

A SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS DEMANDED. The people have indorsed the .declaration of the Democratic platform that the Republican tariff is a fraud and an instrumentality for robbing the many to build up the private fortunes of the few. They have indqrsed the Democratic declaration that the McKinley act is the culminating atrocity of class legislation. Mr. Cleveland has repeatedly indorsed these declare tions himself. He has declared that this tariff robs the many for the benefit of tbe few and is destructive of true fellow citizenship. He regards the whole system of licensed robbery as un-Democratic and unAmerican, ”,if not unconstitutional. This system of injustice and spoliation cannot be brought to an end too soon. It is the right of the people to be delivered from robbery and oppression just as soon as the agents of their deliverance have it in their power to act There can be no excuse for permitting the robbery to go on lor eighteen months or more when it can be stopped in half that length ot time. The country has a right to expect, therefore, that Mr. Cleveland will call Congress together immediately after his inauguration and that the work of Democratic reform in the interests of the victims will be begun at once and be pushed vigorously to the end. ' 1!L! . 1 If a stranger should accidentally stumble upon our once Fairgrounds that lay just South of our city, he would no doubt think that the people of this enterprising city had abandoned all interest in that lonely and forsaken place which belongs to our county. The fences have aim- st disappeared. The stalls are fist becoming things of the past. Uulesf the stronger of whom we have ‘just spoke, should east bis eye toward the North and behold tbe comfortable dwellings, and allow his vision to extend still farther until his gaze met the fair city of Decatur, he would think that the surrounding country had almost been depopulated. Such is not the case. The people of our city and the surrounding country is just as enterprising as any locality of the same natural surroundings as any in the State. Our Fair grounds have become neglected. The buildings of whatever descriptions were inadquate in size to accommodate our people in the display of articles for exhibition. It was only a Fair ground in name—not in reality. There are other localities in the neighborhood of Decatur that are as well suited for Fair purposes as the grounds that have been forsaken. If the Fair part of our enterprise is dead, why not open up this fine location for town lots? We do not mean that this shall be sold to any one individual to give him a chance to speculate, but our Commissioners should have it surveyed, laid off in town lots in order that some good can be derived from a large waste of territory. cfc ——w—— Our old comrade, Lyman R. Blossom, postmaster of the ancient city of Monmouth, who soon can say in the language of Petroleum V. Nasby, which was P. M. took occasion to ursurp authority in his official capacity causing some of our patrons annoyance with a small pecuniary loss. On last Friday we were behind in getting out our paper so that we were too late to get it into the mails here. We carried it up to the train and attempted to mail it, but a “subject” of Honest John W. refused to take the papers —an act that he bad done several times before, but this yyas a time when be felt the effects of the vote of the people when he knew they were demanding honest officials. Wp presume he meant all right, because the postal clerk had told him be must collect postage, accordingly every subscriber was compelled to pay 1 cent postage; all of which was contrary to law, and under our ptate statute, is what is called obtaining qjoney under false pretenses. To each subscriber ye lyoqlij Ba 7 call on Postmaster Blossom and get your money back. We thought to accommodate our patrons was the reason for sending "Jhpm by private conveyance. To opr subscribers who reeeive-their mail at Monmouth, we will see that such an onno.yance does not ogour fiopp flgain. We are told that $0 ?. M. will SQPi? leave for Kansas President Habriaqn that it was the extreme yjew thsit big party ip, ?k on the tariff question that caused his d.c/tyii, '» awake at last, —so are a lew of Jh|fi toilcy/ers, but it took a political earthquake io arouse them. Some people sleep soundly.—especially those that sleep in ignorance.
