The Democrat wishes him success. Republican newspaper are publishing! another falsehood on A. N. Martin, claiming that he has tried to ohange the pension law, so as to punish pensioners for swearing to their vouchers before the 4th of the month when pensions are payable. That has been the law for many years, long before Mr. Martin went to Congress.

Mr. Frisinger as long as he tells the truth and makes no false statements, but whenever he resorts to methods of making falsehltods and lying statements to get votes, I do not consider him a man, aud will leave it with the people of Adams county whether or not that is the kind of a man they want for Auditor, An educated man that Mr. Frisinger claims to be, knows that he is telling a He every time he makes those misleading statements.

So much for the reduction of the tariff, One year ago this summer I took occasion to price rubber belting, as mine was about worn out ami it was necessary to replace the same. An agent of a manufacturer of rubber belt called at my mills measured the belt and give the lowest figures his house would furnish the same for, which was SSO. This was with the McKinley tariff on. While a lew-days ago I ordered the belt just the same and got the belt and bill for it which is S3O 96* This was without the tariff—sl9.o4 in my pocket, instead of the manufactures pocket. Thus you can see without glasses who is benefited by high protection. Jrcor S. Hart, Proprietor City Mills, Decatur, Ind.

COMMUNICATED. For whom shall we cast our vote next Tuesday? Is an all important question. It is especially important to the German element of our county well as to the Germans of other counties in the state. And to the German population of Adarus county 1 address the following words: The answer to the above question I find in one of our leading German papers of the state. It says: “The party we sliqult: support takes the first place, the man takes the second place.” If this answer is correct—which it undoubtedly is—a Democrat can not have the least doubt as to what ticket he should vote next Tuesday. If the Democratic party has tried to do the best for the country, and if the Democratic doctrine is the true doctrine, it is your duty to support that ticket. It is your duty not only to vote for the state tieket only, but it Isalso your duty to vote for the county ticket also. If you consider Cleveland’s administration tbe best since Lincoln's administration, and are willing to support it, if you wish to see the doctrines of Democracy carried out, it is your duly to vote for all .candidates on the Democratic ticket especially so for the congressional and legislative candidates. The Democrat who is led estray by arguments of candidates out on the still hunt, visiting kitchens to make converts for tlieir cause, is not a true Democrat. He supports the Populist party whose life cannot be of long duration, or be supported by the Republican party, which is thoroughly corrupt and is doing all it can to hem.the advancement of the ’ country by advocating high protection, monopoly and trusts, which is bowing to the dictates of the A. P. A. who are fanatics and haters of foreigners. To prove the latter assertion we need only to look to our neighboring congressional district, the 12th. The Republicansin that district sold out to the A. P. A.’s. The A. P. A.’s do the playing and the G. O. P. does the dancing. Ex-Consul Diedrich, a German, was asked bv leaders of his Republican friends to eome out for congress in his district, because they thought that Hon. Diedrich ' would draw a big vote from the German Lutheran churches in his district. But why was this very man !>eaten fn tbe convention? Why was he not nominated? » Because he it was said, was an enemy to the Public schools. Mr. YFiedrich had written to the Martin club while he was Cousul at Leipsic, Germany, not to insert into v their platform any fanatical-planks against the parochial schools as had been done in Wisconsin by the Rennet law or iu Illinois l>y the Edwards bill. Because iu- was a xieniHHji. wka.wcmtrfjnewei vorr for a bm against foreign efailgfatiour These are - stubborn facts and cannot be denied. Thus we see that the A. P. A’sarenot only a part of the Republican party, but.. they are the dictating part of the G. O. P. They are the fanatical part, that part which tries to take away the rights and privileges guaranteed to us foreigners by the constitution. They are those that would like and would take from you that, for wlil,ch ) the Puritans aud others left their mother country—freedom of worship and the education of your children as you see fit and proper. Now then my German friends, what party is your friend? The answer is easy to find. Wlro are you going to vote for? Your friends or your foes? I know your answer will be given next Tuesday at the polls. A German American. FOR SALE.

I understand there is some unscrupulous individual reporting that 1 bought the belt I made mention of in the paper a few days ago, of Perry Rob ison second hand and that there was a certain saw mill man came to me and asked me whether I didn't get the belt of Ferry Robison and also wanted to see the bill.for the belt, all of which is a lie. Any person that don't believe what I said concerning the belt will please ask Fred Shatter as he ordered it for me. J. S. liakt. A CARD. Some designing person or persons wishing to injure my chance for election have been circulating a report that I as a nominee of the Democratic party for Trustee of Blue Creek township, have pledged myself to build new school houses. Now should you honor me with the position ot Trustee, I pledge myseif not to build a school house uuless petitioned for by a majority of the voters of said township. Elisha Merriman.
