Vater* Take NoUee. Tbtt the Decatur democratic primary election tor the purpose of selecting candidates to be voted for at the'next City Election will be held under the Australian Election laws of Indiana, on Friday, March, 25,1898. Wm. Blackburn Chr'm. R. D. Fatterson, Sec. Democratic candidates for state offices are becoming quite numerous and in earnest. Letters in number have been received by us from various parts of the state applaud ing the virtues and capabilities of ; prospective candidates. This fact together with other favorable signs' of the times, makes the outlook for democratic success very bright. Predictions point to a victory that will be decisive. The secret to political success is organization. The democrats of i Adams county should take advantage of an earlv organization. Nat onlv as a county but each township should begin to pull themselves to-1 gether for the campaign work. Let us be up and doing is the onlv motto to closely follow. Adams county should hold her proud bead higher and increase her banner majorities. By thorough organization such a victory can be attained. Let’s work. At a conference of silver republicans and- popu.ists, attended by every senator and representative of both parties, the plan for a general co-operation in the congressional campaign with the democrats was unanimously ratified. It was also the unanimous sen’iment that Mr. Bryan was the logical candidate of the allied silver forces in 1900. It was also decided that ex-Kepre sentative Towne, chairman of the silver republican national committee, should be sent to Oregon,' where the congressional election will be held in Jane, to aid in carrying out the co-operation plans in that state

Decatvb merchants should early begin their advertising for the spring trade. The early bird does ihe business and it i* likewise true of the merchant. Do not too long debate tbe important subject and thus loose all tbe good a pointed advertisement would do you. Begin earlv and begin right. Contract a-ivertising is a money maker for any merchant. Announcements for city nomtnati >ns will be foui.d elsewhere. According to speculation the list is not vet complete but will be several vards longer when all have announced their intentions and have thrown themselves in the hands of their friends. From tbe number of candidates who are asking the sup port and suffrage of the democraticvoters, there will be no trouble in I selecting the best kind ot a ticket. Huntington officials are arrang- | ing tor tbe proper celebration of her fiftieth anniversary. Citizens have taken a deep interest in the, forthcoming affair and are working in unison for the proper and deserving celebration ot so progressive a citv. Tbe place was known ■

i among the Indians as Wa-pe-che-an-gan-ge, meaning “’Flint Place, owing to an abundance of dint thereabouts. The proposed celebration will be ot a high character, and interesting to all the older residents of northern Indiana. Township trustees will be elected at the November election this fall notwithstanding the fact that the ' last legislature passed a law extending the term of office to November. 1 1900. The law is unconstitutional, and prominent men ot both parties agree that trustees will be nominated and elected this year. The successful candidates will take the office within ten days alter the election. A test i suit will be brought to have the, matter legally brought before the, supreme court. One by one the laws of the iate unlamented legislative i body are falling by the wayside until lew remain, and half ot those would , not stand the test of law.—Greensburg Era. Richard L. Metcalf in the Omaha World-Herald, devotes several columns in defending W. J. Brvan from the infamous attack made upon him by the New York; Journal. It was a masterly article | and fully exploded the false theories advanced by the Journal. In giv . ing a short forecaste ot the outlook in 1900, he says: -‘lt may be that Mr. Bryan may not be the nominee ■ in 1900—life is very uncertain—i hut. judging from the condition to-1 day, the man who undertakes to outline the campaign of 1900 omit-1 ting William J. Bryan as the leader of the democratic hosts, has limited ! his political observation to the immediate neighborhood of Walk Street-” C ah Rhe: cracked the party whip and compelled the republican majority of the house to stand up - and be counted against the Teller ■ resolution, declaring bonds to be payable in silver st the option of tbe government. Reed is no dodger, whatever else be may be. He is for the gold standard and for gold i bonds, and he simply compelled tbe • house to endorse tbe payment of ■ bonds in gold by defeating the ■ Teller resolution, although there i are lota of republicans who would rather that he had killed tbe reso-

' lotion by the pigeon-hole method. If many of the republicans of the house bad dared to vote as they thought, there would have been enough of them with tbe solid democratic vote to have overthrown Reed's plan and adopted the Teller resolution. Playing the voters for suckers is a very old republican game, but it is to be played again this year, and if it wins, in 1900. It is tbe regu lation three card monte political trick. The republican administration, through its president and secretary of the treasury, is manipulating the cards so that in secttODS where silver votes are cece*sary to win, the cards will show the republican party to be a great friend j .of bimetallism and many fairy stories will be told about what Mr. McKinley expects to accomplish for silver through international bimetallism, and in sections where the gold standard sentiment is held by a majorrv, the cards will show the republicans in their true colors — supporters of the single gold standard. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and if any real friend of silver gets caught in this game, he

. deserve to be ciagnt. Bcssjng is catching. Mr. Me- ’ Kinley is now trying his baud at bossing congress, or to be more ’ exact, tbe republicans in congress. Each republican has been notified that the administration does not intend to recognize tbe belligerence of the Cabans, nor to intervene, either peaceably or by force, so long as present conditions continue to exist in Cuba, and that every republican who seeks in any manner to agitate the question in congress will be considered 3 anti-adminis-tration man. and be so treated by the president. How is that tor a bit of high banded muzzling? Senator Mason of Illinois, is one of the ' republicans who doesn t intend to ’ be muzzled on the Cuban question. | He says he will this week offer a resolution instructing the president to demand peace in Cuba, which he believes be can bring about at once, and he added: “’Something must be done, and I w ill at least give the senate a chance to do a lot of talking. It is a shame that our government permits such a state of affairs to exist in Cuba ” There is some » hispenng among the faithful that the next g. o. p. congressional convention may be ; held in this city. From what we ' have been able to learn there is no I doubt but that Decatur will be a I strong competitor for this honor. ■ She is one out of three counties that will present no candidate be-! fore lhe convention and the other two counties have been honored before in a similar way. Knowing that tbe holding of a congressional convention will mean the bringing of 1000 strangers to our city tor one dav, and knowing too that the pure democratic air that surrounds us will even benefit a republican, we feel disposed to welcome the hosts for this occasion. Adams county is the Gibralter of democracy in (this congressional district audit would be no more than right that the republicans should come into the enemy’s camp and there dance ‘ as big a jig as their conscience or ■ nerve will permit. Welcome geni' tiemen. We will show vou a nice « time now- and this fall will lead you l a merrier chase down the old polit- | • ical lane.
