DEMOCRAT pu nuisii bp w kbklV . PEMOt'U ATIC I’KI SS l>i;iy ISHING co. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. $1.50 Pfcil TEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the Postoffice at Decatur. Indiana as Second-Class Mail Matter. THURSDAY, JAN. 7. The new appellate court of Indiana is now organized. f Confidence nee ms to be a good thing. Push it along. Governor-elect Mount has named James K. Gore of Elkhart, as Adjutant General President Cleveland’s retiring cabinet will all act as attorneys for some corporation. Honor is what they crave. Cornelius Bliss of New York, has been selected for secretary of the navv in President-elect McKinley’s cabinet. ’ / The Journal is true to republican principles always; it believes in trusts. The incoming administration ought to satisfy them. Taylor, the Journal’s candidate —f nr United —States senator, —don't seem to be very strictly “in it,” at Indianapolis right now. It’s too bad. Bank and business failures still continue at a rapid and disastrous rate. That white winged angel of “confidence” don’t seem to be working very hard just now. Representative Kelley is at Indianapolis ready to occupy his seat and fight republican high hand ed jobberies. He will have his bands full but we hope for the best results. William A. Hammond vice president of the Illinois' National Bark drowned himself at Chicago Sunday morning. A t"o close connection with that bank.paused him to take his life. Business failures, suicides and confidence are conspicuously “in it” right now. What a glorious savior McKinley and his gold bug plutocratic administration will be any way. The last message of Governor Matthews will be read in the legislative halls at twelve o’clock, noon, today. The retiring governor ba q very creditably filled that high and honorable position. The republican caucus over the senatorship will take place some time next week. At the prosent , time the Fairbanks push are in the saddle. The democratic minority will compliment Senator Vorhees. The treasurer’s tax statement and delinquent tax list will be found in this issue of the Democrat. Every taxpayer should carefully study the rate of taxation and make yourself familiar with the various, levies and their amounts The Indiana General Assembly meets today. We have arrangements perfected wherebv we will publish weekly the official acts of that legislative body. These weekly letters will be interesting,,as well as truthful, and our readers are hereby invited to read them. The Journal says that where a trust >s organized with good intentions, it protects ■ the industries of manufacture and makes goods cheaper. That would sound all right were it not that our people knew better. Where there is one instance like the above, there are 9,999 the reverse. Arguments to prove it are unnecessary for everyone knows its truth. Notwithstanding the Journal we most emphatically re-assert that the democratic platform of 1899 and 1896 are the same in meaning, and in which has not changed one iota. We will still further persist that Cleveland accepted the’ platform of 1892 and repudiated' the same in 1896. Twist ’er tail Frank but you can’t make anything else out of it. ... We forgot last week to mention the fine illustrated Christmas editiou of the Marion Chronicle. Words fail us In properly commentjag upon that editorial and mechanical production. The “art preservative” was elevated by the fine specimen of newspaper work, and in our meek mild way we want to congratulate the management of the Chronicle f*r the success thus /achieved. Marien merchants and .business men are also up to date. • . ■ ■. ■ : (-it r \

Decatur, Indiana, -Dec. 30.— Who will be McKinley s n w postmaster at Decatur? This question can be heard in a whisper al most any day. among- politicians, and fellows who have a “favored friend” fur the place. While the fight has not assumed cyclonic proportions, yet it is generally believed there will be some wire hair pulling among the g. o. p. possibilities. Democracy has yielded to the inveitable as gracefully as possible, and are only lookers on at the scramble, only hoping the best man will win. The woods are as full of possibilities as firecrackers on the Fourth of July. But to leave the matter to the patrons of the office, irrespective of party affiliations, Ex-Postmaster B W. Quinn would receive almost unanimous endorsement for Decatur’s postmastership. But thers are others —who wanl it. P. L. Andrews, an ardent devotee to the doctrines of the g. o. p. who has fired shotand shell into th* enemy’s camp (never hitting a vote) for 10, these many vears, will make a close second for Mr. Quinn. Some think Bob Blackburn ought to have more than he’s got for tn? sold'erly manner in which he chaperoned the A. P. A. during the former campaigns. But his string is attached to the tail of the postoffice kite. Others think Frankie Everetts might have got the job, had he do’ driven so many g. o. p. votes for Bryan through the use of his lit tie paper. But his possibility has no “confidence” in him. Fred Shafer might take the office if his friends woijld get it tor him, and move it around to his new house. Many-other no-'iiibilities are daily springing up, dec-hiring what they sacrificed to get ’M Kiulny elected. —Fort. y no J<>l yll al. For a small tip the Democrat will inform you who is carrying the appointment in his pocket at this moment, and then perhaps yon can., induce Congressman Henry to change bis mind. Here is your chance. Governor Matthews has appointed she members of the variou* : police boards of the state. Thosp 1 appointed are Rudolph J. Krunegar at Michigan City, Patrick Shekey at South Bend,. William Dolan at i Logansport, John H. Rolling at Richmond, Max Pattlitzer at Lafayette, Vernon Davis at Muncie, George F. Beebe at Anderson, Jacolr C. Kolsom at Terre Haute. ) This office has a six column quarto Cottrell & Babcock news • paper press, which we will sell at j a bargain. It is but three years i old, in good condition and does a I fine job of printing. Address this office.

HITCHING POSTS. —-I We often rt*>»d in the Democrat about people from around Decatur going to other towns to do their trading and not patronizing home merchants. If the city of Decatur want the farmers to do their trading at homo, why don’t the city do something to accommodate farmers when they come to town with their team. Giye ns hitching pests in some suitable place so that we don’t have to hitch in mud pools, back alleys and such places where our whips and blankets, and even straps are stolen. If the city will treat us farmers right, they may expect our trade, if not, will go to some other place where they are more accommodoting where wo don’t have to let our horses stand in the rain or putthem up in a livery barn while we are doing our trading Farmer’s Union.
