I The citizens of Decatur and vicinity cannot now plead the excuse we have not got gravel from which to make graxel roads. Isaac Zimmerman has found a bank of ten acres or more on his farm of the best gravel for roads ever found in the county, far exceeding the gravel on the roads in the south part of the county. Now is the time for some enterprising man, or several ot them, to make a move in the matter and circulate petitions asking the people to petition the Board of Commissioners to appoint viewers to view at least one of the roads leading into Decatur for the purpose of graveling it. The material, the best in the county yet found is at hand, and plenty of it, and when once applied and a few miles of road made the people will then be satisfied with the improvements and will not allow the wheels of progress in that direction to stop till every road in this part of the county, and Especially all the main approches to Decatur are- graveled and made as they should be. Will the people look to their interest and move in an enterprise they will never regret?

Waking Up Are The Indiana Drmorrah. The Republicans are beginning to realize that they are not likely to carry Indiana as easily as they | supposed. The campaign is fairly . open on both and the condi I tion ot affairs discloses a much brighter prospect for the Demoracy than they were willing to concede to themselves. The Republicans, relying upon the hard times, that had depressed the country, started in the campaign as calamity shriekers, and thinking that they could delude the voters bv their mournful howls and thundering accusations agains the party in power as being resposible for the tribulations'’that had come upon the country. But the majority ot Hoosiers are a reading as well as a thinking people, and by keeping posted on political affars are as able to discriminate between true and false philosophy as the perfumed pedagogue or well-paid orators sent out to enlighten them. They know that for the first time in thir-ty-five years the Democratic party has come into full control of governmental affairs, and that all the unwise and objectionable laws upon the statute books of the nation were were placed there by Republican legislation, and the incontrovertible tact is becoming stronger each day that since the repeal of the odious Sherman law and and the oppresive McKinley bill, by a Democratic Congress, better times have begun to invade the land, and the prospect of returning prosperity is beginning to illuminate the whole country as certainly as the morning sun dispels the darkness ot the night. And in Indiana the great good accomplished by the Democracy for the people, whenever they were in control of state legislation, still redounds to the credit of that party and stands as proof of its fidelity to the best interest of the general public in every particular. It has always proved itself the friend of organized labor, and all the labor law’s now on statute books were placed there by Democrats. ! It passed the mechanic,s lien law. It passed a law giving laborers a lien* upon the product of their labor, for wages and material furnished. It passed the law protecting labor organizations. It passed the law providing for the safety of miners and the proper ventilation of mines. It passed a law constituting eight hours a day,s labor in public employment. It passed the law prohibiting the blacklisting of employes., It passed the law 7 prohibiting “pluck-me” stores. It passed the employes’. liability law. It passed the law prohibiting the importation of Pinkerton dectives. It i passed the law against the importation of alien or foreign laborers. And whatever organized,labor asked the Democracy of Indiana to do for it was done, accomplished often over the fiercest opposition from Republicans, and the intelligent laborers cannot be deluded into deserting the party th/it has al ways been loyal to their cause, devoted to their interest, and favorable to every reasonable demand. But the greatest of all reform laws passed by the Democrats was the new tax law, that has been subjected to a test in all the Courts of the land, and but recently sustained in all the higher tribunals in the United States. Before that law was enacted the assessing of property was loose, haphazard and unfair. Those least able to pay were generally mulcted to the fullest extent, while the powerful corporations and mSney kings escaped entirely, or only paid a meager portion of their just dues. The operation of the new tax law worked a reformation which operates to relieve the small taxpayers of the unjust burden put upon

them by the inequitable workings of the old method. And the fact that the Republican party is pledged to the repeal of this equitable and just law, is solidifying tbe pborer class of taxpayers against them and many secret ballots will be cast for the Democrative legislative candidates by Republican taxpayers, . who believe that the rich and powi erful property owners are entitled to pay their just proportion of the burdens of taxation. And with the ' best side of the argument to present r to the people, the Democratic lead 1 ers are gaining-fresh courage, and ' the chances of success at the polk grow daily better, and Republican i hopes, like the leaves of Autumn ' are falling to the ground.—Cincini nati Enquirer. Ex -PoMtniHuer General Wannmaker's Idea of the TarfTLaw! Forty-one more cases out of bond yesterday—under the last tariff And so the stream of fresh new good flows in day after day, like fresh blood into the body, and thus the business, like the body, gets its good health. It is surprising that any one sup posed that the common people— Abraham Lincon said it better, ’’the plain people”—could not count for themselves. That reduced charges at the custom-house would make no difference in prices! What was the tariff fight about if it was not to put down prices? At the first gooff it certainly does that—at least it does it in this store. Five per cent, or 10 per cent, or 20 per cent, less duty means something less in cost. It does not mean full 5, 10 or 20 per cent, less price because the reduction is only on the duty paid. Whatever it is, however, that part comes off the price. Similiar testimony comes from all parts of the country. A newspaper published in New Jersey prints an advertisement of a store at Deckertown ip that State headed: “The New Tariff Bill and How It Affects Us.” ' Then the advertisement gives a comparison of prices charged by the proprietor under the McKinley law and tbe new law. For example, muslins for which he was charging 10 cents he is now selling at 8 cents. Calicos have been reduced from 5 to 6 cents to 3 1-2 cents, percales from 12 1-2 and 16 cents to 10 cents, sateens from 18 to 12 1-2 cents, mackerel from 12 to 9 ceents per pound, flour from $4.40 to $425 per barrel and fruit jars from 70 to 60 cents per dozen. There is no better object lesson tnan is contained in these advertisements of the fact that the consumers have been paying the tax and that the abolition and reduction of the cost of living. Nor can the mournful groans of political Cassandras overcome the cheering influence of such advertisements as Wanamaker and other intelligent business men are publishing in the newspapers. The time of year is at hand when the tearing up of the streets and . alleys of our city should be avoided. ; The laying of the water mains . should not be done until spring, I that the work may settle before > the streets and alleys are used to t tbe extent that will cut them up so • that teams can scarcely get along . them. The value of works will 3 depend largely upon the manner of , building them and the work will be 1 but poorley done if done in the fall . of the year when the cold weather . sets in. The source of revenue can’t be very great in winter time, j when but few people will use the g water, the only part of the work canbe done with any certainty ot j being a paying investment is the building of- the power house and j pumping station, leaving the rest of the work for an early spring job, when the people will want water for 3 their gardens and lawns, which will , be the main source of revenue but t few can use it for domestic I purposes, as but few of our people have their houses plumbed for that purpose and those who are ’ ready for to use the water have 1 water of their own, so that they are a very doubtful quantity to depend 7 on for revenue. The only argument in favor of doing the work at once i is the protection it may give from i fire. .. — -

: AGAINSTJIS WISHES. 1 Senator Hill Nominated For Governor of New York by Acclamation. 1 — SOME REMARKABLE SCENES. Stampede to the ex-Governor Al moat I Without a Parallel— Delegate Hitt Had Placed the Name of John Boyd Thaoher * Before the Convention Who, It Waa Expected, Would Carry Off the Honor. %katoga, Sept. 27.—A scene such ns no delegate at the state Democratic I convention ever witnessed before and ( which is without parallel in the history of conventions, except, perhaps, that iu 1 1876, when Seymour was nominated by i acclamation against the wishes of a majority of the delegates, took place yesterday when all mentioned candidates were forgotten and the advent of David B. Hill’s name caused a stampede iu his favor. It was a scene of disorder, but Off ' - SEN ATOR HILL. of enthusiasm that will probably not 1* witnessed- in a decade. It was the strange situation of the presiding~offloer of a convention, evidently against his expressed desires, being forced to accept a unanimous nomination, when, other candidates had been presented and apparently accepted by the delegates. Unlocked For Situation. Mr. Hitt had finished his speech nominating John Boyd Thaoher mid had been received with enthusiasm. Delegates looked at one another and expected that the nomination would be made by acclamation. But a slight built man from Alleghauy county who had never been known in the councils of the party threw a firebrand which created a sensation almost beyond belief. When the county was reached Delegate Reynolds arose and amid intense silence said: “The united delegation from Alleghany county desire to place in nomination for governor their first and only choice, David Bennett Hill. *’ Wild Scenes Enacted. Then occurred one of the wildest scenes that could be imagined. Senator Hill grew pale with emotion, ‘ but in a faint hope that he would be able to stem the tide pounded vigorously with the gavel and cried for order. The secretaries left their desks aud jumping upon chairs also cheered with the multitude. Finally, from sheer exhaustion, the vast audience ceased its applause long enough to allow Senator Hill’s voice to be heard, and in a husky voice he said: “I am grateful to the Democracy of the Empire state .for their courtesy aud kindness and support in the past, but I must say to you that I cannot be your candidate again for governor.” Threatened to Invade the Stage. There were cries of “no, ’no,” and “you’re the only man” from the dele-i gates and the applause; was renewed. The clerk began calling the roll. Several county leaders arose and announced their delegations for Senator Hill. New York was reached and Senator Guy jumped to his feet. There were cries of “platform,” but he stood on a chair, and the delegates listened breathlessly to what he had to say. He made a strong appeal to the delegates to not heed the declination. He had barely finished when the same scene that occurred when Hill’s name was first mentioned was repeated. The delegates pushed down the aisles toward the front and threatened to invade the stage. Senator Hill said out of the din: “The rules of the assembly are in force i here aud the rollcall should be allowed to proceed.” * 1 Pandemonium Reigned. The gavel xvas banged several times , and as applause subsided somewhat it was almost as immediately resumed 1 when, jumping upon the press tables ! and from there to the stage, Bourke [ Cockran faced the audience and Waved , both hands for order. In an instant the noise subsided and the congressman ! began an impassioned speech calling I upon the convention to disregard Hill’s declination and to make him the candi- ‘ date. When Cockran had finished the , scenes that preceded this were as a mere nothing in comparison with the pande- , nionium that reigned for at least five , minutes. Vainly did Senator Hill use the gavel and call upon the delegates : for order. At the sound of his voice the . aunlause took on new impetus. At jiaSo wnen some quiet was restoroa me > senator demanded that the rollca.ll proi ceed. Clerk De Freest began the calling of the roll amid cries of “call ; slowly. ’ ’ As each county was called its leader arose and declared, for David B. ’ Hill. By Acclamation. ' Senator Cantor jumped to his feet be- ' fore the rollcall was finished and said: 1 “All in favor of Senator Hill’s nomina- ■ tion, by acclamation, will say aye.” ■ Senator Hill kept insisting upon order i and the rollcall of assembly districts waa begun. Mr. Hitt, on behalf of the Albany county delegation, withdrew Mr, Thanher’s name and there waa pandemonium once more. The leader 1 restored quiet, and the rollcall proceeded. Each county named David B. Hill and Clerk De Freest, amid great confusion saifto*.“David B. Hill has received 883 that were cast.” L'fe..:

Delegates rushed for the stage and shouted for adjournment so as to forbid Senator Hill from refusing. The move to adjourn was carried, Senator Hill saying: “The convention that is running itself wants to adjourn—l declare it adiourned.” All township nominations should be certified to the Clerk of the Court at once.
