THE DEMOCRAT IVIRY THURSDAY MORNING BY LEW G. ELLINGHAM, Publisher. fl.oo PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the postofHce at Decatur. Indiana as second-class mail matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, JAN. I'. THE TICKET. The nominees of the Adams county democracy have been named and will be seen at the head of our editorial page. They are all men of high standing, both with their party, and the public irrespective f partv Thev are men who *arry with them the respect and confidence of their fellow man. This fact, more than any other, tells the tale of victory which has placed upon them an honor accorded by their party. Every candidate nominated has a personal following aud strength which makes the ticket an ideal one. Every nominee has done valued service to the party and were in every way entitled to thehon-i or conferred upon them. Every I nominee is honest, capable and deserving of the cordial support of every democrat in Adams county. It is now the privilege aud no doubt the pleasure of every democrat in Adams county, to buckle on the armor and ; give his support to the election of the ' ticket named, by the largest majority ! ever accorded in the history of the' Adams countv democracv. James P. Goodrich, of Winchester.l has been made eommitteman of this i congressional district by the repub-; licans. A government that will pay rent for occupying its own property is certainly a pav-reutal government. N. Y World. The tie vote for representative at the county primary, is a coincidence of seldom occurrence, but when it does occur is of such vital significance, that one more would seem a million at least. The ticket nominated at the primary last Friday is created of the salt of the earth. Every candidate thereon, is a representative man as well as a; representative demotrat. aud they are | entitled and should receive the sup- i port of every democrat in the county. ’ Indianapolis is overflowing with democratic politick ns since Tuesday, the election of a state chairman being! the object of so much interest and i enthusiasm. The prospects were never brighter for an enthusiastic I campaign, which will be waged to a victorious and triumphant ending.

Committee Meeting. There will be a meeting of the Ad - ams County Central Committee at Decatur, on next Saturday. January 11*. 1900. at 10 o’clock a. tn., for the purpose of disposing of the unfinished business of the Committee and for the adjustment of the tie vote for State Representative. Do not fail to be in attendance. Respectfully Elmer Johnson. Chairman. Attorney-General Griggs has refused to employ the anti-trust law in ! a ease against a combination of east- ■ ern railraods. The only effective emplovment of the anti-trust law thus : far recorded has been against labor ' unions. It is this law which Gen. Grosvenor assures the people demonstrates the sincerity of the antagonism of the republican partv to the trusts. Replblican currencv legislation will unquestionably force bimetallism again to the front as a vital and dominant issue of the campaign. The republicans are preparing to lock up the greenbacks, ship the gold abroad and leave the cir.’ulating medium at the mercy of the national banks. Every democrat who is a true democrat will tight this policy to the bitter end. ‘ History repeats itself" is an old adage and a true one. Just one century ago Thomas Jefferson was defeated for the presidency of the United States, and four years later was triumphantly elected. Jeffersonian | democracy illuminated the beginning of this century and the same Jeffer sonian democracy will usher in the new century by "the election of another Jefferson in 1900. The Standard Oil company banks ;in New York city control 41.86 per I cent of the total bank deposits in that I city. and 39.90 per cent of total outstanding loans. The power of such a i combination of capital over the i volume of credit and of currencv in j circulation is such that at any time I half a dozen men could, as thev did | only a few days ago. force a commer- ■ cial panic and ruin thousands for their ' profit. This situation will not be < ured by having the administration at \\ ashington in partnership, as it is today, with the monoplists. It seems that the position of census supervisors is not as desirable as it was thought to be. if recent statements concerning it are true. The statement has recently been made that the law makes no provision for the expenses. the only appropriation being SI.OOO a year to pay their salaries. It is necessary for them to travel over their districts to ascertain their status of affairs preliminary to the beginning I of the enumeration, "aud some of them ; have already incurred several hunI dred dollars’ expense. Unless addii tional appropriations are made, these ; men will be far worse off at the close lof their term of service than they would be if they had engaged iu some private business. If their experiences • will teach others that office holding is I not the most desirable privilege that can be enjoyed, but that as a rule it is I better to avoid everything of that ■ kind, then it may serve a useful pur- | pose after all. South Bend Times.

The anti-trust conference to be held in Chicago on Lincoln’s birthday. Feb. 12. will bring together a number of men of great eminence iu the nation. and all noted for their intelligence. effective and uncompromising hostility to trusts. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago a conference was held under the auspices of the Civic federation, which professed . to be wholly a discussion of the trust problem pro and con. It was then that Mr. Bryan met and defeated the high attorney of plutocracy. Burke Cochran. This coming conference is to differ from the latter iu that it is to be made up. so far as promoters can ■ arrange it. only of men who are distinctly hostile to the trusts. It is ex-. pected that heroic measures for the destruction of these monopolistic combinations will be advised and it is very notable that in the long list of names of those interested in the affair which is given out. nearly all are democrats or associated with the allied forces that made the battle in 1596. In truth, the anti-trust conference will lie in all essentials a democratic gathering. for t is through the machinery of the democratic party that trusts can be most effectively attacked.

The selection of Parks M. Martin as ’ chairman of the state committee is an j •, honor well bestowed. His past record [ at the head of the Indiana democracy is one in which he fully demonstrated ’ his ability and powers of organization and laid the foundation for a record. 1 which for the third time gave him the chairmanship and leadership of his • party. If he will but call to his counsel all the elements and leading politicians of his party, an organiza- ’ ation can be promulgated in Indiana ■ that will carry the state for the de-, jUioeracy. Let’s organize. It takes ~ votes to carry our ticket and give 1 ! Bryan the state s eleetoriai vote, but ’ ! the opportunity presents itself. ’ • The Hon. Samuel Ralston, the Leb j | anon statesman, was one of the most; I

prominent figures at the Indianapolis j meeting of demix'rats this week. As time makes political historv the more evident it bwomes that Mr. Ralston is the magnetic leader of the Indiana democracy. He is the right type of man for leadership aud possesses a source of knowledge and power that help bind him close to the hearts of the democrats in the state. The meeting of democrats at Indianapolis this week was simply a record i breaker. Never were so many of the faithful present or so much interest manifested this early before the openi ing of a campaign. It means much I to the democracy of the state and is a I condition that is pleasing to the party ■ and its leaders. Card of Thanks. Editor of Democrat: Please allow me space in your paper to thank the democrats of French township for their liberal support in my race for trustee. Reodolph Scheg. As I can not see all my friends personally. I desire in this manner to express to you all my heartfelt thanks for your confidence and support; and I assure all who opposed me that my heart holds no bitterness whatever against any voter in Adams county: and I will cheerfully support the nominee. I remain very truly vours. James T. Merryman. To the Democracy of Adams County: I take this opportunity of feebly expressing my thanks to those who stood by me so faithfully in the late contest. I have nothing but the kindliest feelings for those who were against me on account of their fair and honorable treatment. I am still a Democrat and for the nominee first, last and all the time. Respectfully. Clark J. Lett. Allow me space in your paper to thank the democrats of Adams county for the support given me at the recent Democratic Primary election lam one of the candidates who suffered defeat, but I have no grievance to offer. Democracv has said it must lie thus, and when the November election eomes you will find me as you have in the past, doing all that I can to aid the Grand Old party. Again thanking you. I am. yours very truly, Phil Scheg." Quite a loss was incurred bv a fire which broke out at the office of the Decatur Egg Case Company Fridav morning. At that time the office was being used as a voting place for the democrats of the First ward, and a familiar character about town had just entered the booth for the purpose j of making out the ballot of his choice In turning around he accidently overturned a lamp which broke and the oil caughtfire. The board soon made their escape and managed to save the tickets already voted. However, a number of unused liallots were destroyed and it was necessary to have a new supply printed, which" was done Wl ‘ hou * muvh delay. Considerable other damage was doue amounting to about fiftv dollar- *-— — I 1

S. 8. ; every claim made for it is backed up strongly by convincing testimony of those who have been cured by it and know of its virtues by experience. 1 Mr. L. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse.

I was TF I so disabled for a long while that I was wholly unfit for X 2 A business. One of the best doctors treated me constantly, but did rue no good. I then tried various blood remedies, without the least benefit. S. S. S was so highly recom- rJR Ka mended that I concluaed to try it. and the effect was T .■ \ g wonderful.
