THE DEMOCRAT BYBBT THCRSDAY MORSISG BY LEW o. ELLINOMAM. PnblUhtr. 11.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the post title* at Decaior. Indiana att aecuod-claaa mail matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. The itsmity mist is now up to the governor. » Congressman Cromer is in Washington looking after snaps for some cf his hungry constituents The socialists while in session at Indianapolis, took occasion to lav upon the shelf their once national leader, Eugene V. Debs. It is again given out that the g. o. p. are to have a new state chairman, and that his name is James P. Goodrich of Winchester. Some New York democrats are agitating Dan Lamont for the democratic nomination for governor and if successful then groom him for the presidential nomination in 1904. The next postmaster for this city will not be named uDtil after the coming congressional nomination, and will lie well for each and every aspirant here, to govern himself accordingly. Several Adams county democrats heard W. J. Bryan at Rome City last Thursday and came home filled with I additional admiratian for this brilliant man and national leader. His address at this time teemed with eloquence and logic and was masterly from start to finish. The republican nominee for mayor of Indianapolis C. A. Bookwalter. has nothing in his record to commend him to the voters at the capitol citv. He is strictly a machine candidate, and his defeat in a republican city shows that he is not in sympathy with the people who expect a mayor to be a public officer instead of a politician. Hon. High Docohertt of Bluffton, who is generally regarded "the coming man’’ for the governorship of Indiana, declares himself highly gratified over the action of the Ohio democracy. He thinks that with a general acceptance of the Ohio precedent and the nomination of Richard Olney for president, the democracy will stand an excellent chance for carrying the country in 1904. South Bend Times. — - , According to Indianapolis dis patches Judge L. J. Monks of the supreme bench, is likely to be favored with the appointment as successor to the late Judge Woods of the United •States circuit bench for the district composed of Indiana. Illinois and Wisconsin. Judge Monks has been on the circuit and supreme bench for twenty eight years or just one-half of his entire life. He was appointed in 1873 to fill a vacancy on the circuit beocb of the district composed of Randolph and Delaware ’counties was reelected to the position in 1876,! 1882 and 1888 and in 18W was elected to the supreme court and again reelected in 1900, being nominated by acclamation.

The steel strike has about reached a settlement of their difficulties iu which the big trust got about everything they wanted, and as a matter of fact they wanted enough. No definite settlement has been reached but most j likely will be. Sampson and Schley are goiDg to fight the war over again, the latter having asked and been granted a court of inquiry to sift out several i conflicting statements made against ' Rear Admiral Schley who is a demo 1 crat and of course expected to act | in the capacity of a scape goat for all j administrative animosity that can be ! raked up. It must now be a certainty in the minds of those who would like for Mayor Taggart to succeed himself, that the mayor has uo desires along this line. He has agaiu informed the public that be desires relief from official cares and will not be a candidate. Whether or not the democrats of Indianapolis will permit him to gracefully retire, remains to be seen. The wife of W. S. Taylor, fugative from Kentucky, died at Indianapolis the otter day. She was a Kentucky i woman, devoted to her home, and loved by all who knew her. It was the heaviest part of her cross that ■ she must lie down and die in a city of strangers. However kind they may have been to her. she longed to the last to look on the blue sk.es of Kentucky and feel that the friends of her honorable life were about her. WheD her fugitive husband looked into her face as it whitened in the palor of death he must have felt the punishment which his infamv earned. He dared not take her home. Yet. if he : were a man fit for such a woman, he would have taken her there —to live jor to die, as the good Lord willed.— Lafayette Journal. Rev. Miller and family took their departure today fora month at Winona. Before leaving- Rev. Miller stated that the A. N. Martin funeral sermon which he is having printed will be out by Wednesday, readv for distribution. The edition will be in pamphlet form and will contain an introductory by Rev. Miller, the sermon preached Sunday. July 14 and press notices, resolutions, letters, etc. They will he sold at 25 cents per copy. Bluffton News. If there ever was any doubt about j this skillet faced duffer who poses as: a Bluffton preacher, not having an eye j to business, that fact is certainly dis- ; pelled by the appearance of the above! jin print. Think of that sermom re- j duced to pamphlet form and sold at j ; tweDty-five per. May the devil take; him. A man too. who would stand in • the holy sanctuary and defame the, j character of bis fellow inaD. is none too good to change the meaning of that sermon until it sounds less harsh aud means but little whan printed. And wbat do the helpless widow and daughter get from this side show perl formance? They have furnished this Rev. Miller with the golden opportunity to ride to fame, glory and riches, and now are they to be ruthlessly cast aside with uot even a finger jin the gate receipts. ‘Tis infamous. But seriouslv. Rev. Miller is certainly a consumated fool with strong svmp toms of the kDave mixed in. Those eight church elders who claim to represent 1500 Bluffton church members, must feel about as small as Rev. Mil ler actually is, at bis circus antics in i behalf of Christianity— so he says.

We can remember back to the time when the Herald trembled in its moccasins for fear one of its near and dear comrades would lie prosecuted for juggling with public funds. Time worketh wonders. Hos. Samuel E. Morss editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, divorced himself from four columns of editorial matter, in whi -h he hands his critics a few hot ones that ought to hold them until the heated season is past. There is much in what the Sentinel ! said that we heartily subscribe to.,

T-rTT.=-== ■ 1 We can see but little sense in barking ' , at the bee's of Sam Morss continuallv. While his stvle of always abusing democratic members of the legislature is not one that commends him to the party, yet the Sentinel is ever and , always democratic. It supports the ticket and fights the battles of democracy with a vim and vigor that is gratifvingto the partv. In this the Sentinel and its editor does their duty and that well This partv ranting should cease and the Indiana democrats should get together upon one common ground. This is a sensible business proposition and its endorsement by every Indiana democrat would mean much for the future . success of democracy.
