BFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, AUGUST 29. The Wallace shows were here Mon- ; day. We stand convicted of taking in the whole thing on a good sized comp and pronounce it the best that ever happen**!. The Hartford City Times is author ity for the statement that Samuel M. Briscoe of that city will -e*-k political honors in the nomination for clerk of the supreme court at the next demo- ; cratic state c Ur to date no public announcement has been made enumerating any more newspapers that have been bought up by Millionaire McCullough, to be later used in making him United States seuator. Such an announcement may be expected however, at any time, and if there is anything in printer’s ink — and there is—he will succeed. Mast democrats here will remember H. S. Fargo of Hartford City, who sought the democratic nomination for congress last year. From the Hartford City Times we note that he has been the recipient of 52500 worth of Beaumont. Texas, oil stock, the gift coming from his nephew the Hon. Charles A. Towne, who was conspicuous in national politics last year. The South Bend Times says: Whatever may have been thought about the matter at that time, it is quite certain now that William Jen tongs Bryan will not be required to make any apology for not voting for Grover Cleveland" in I’*'92. The democrat i • party, as a party, forgave him for that fire rears ago. and there are nowere indication* of a change of mind. “Make way for the new Caesar? That is the sort of a shout some rub ter-luuged understrapper will be put ting up in front of Acting Secretary Hackett, if he is left in sole charge of the Navy Department much longer. His head gets bigger every day and be comes nearer thinking himself the whole thing. Heha- made it quite plain that he is anti-Schlev. In this be has only followed the example of Secretary Long, the difference being that Long has more tact and courtesy than to assume autocratic airs. The formal announcement in bold bad print has been made and the Hon. Samuel M. H-nch is now a fullfledged candidate for the nomination to congress in the Twelfth district in opposition to Congressman Robinson, who hankers to succceed himself. It is now up to the Fort Wayne JournalGazette to show their powerful in- I fluence in behalf of their pet candidate In reviewing his great statesmanship in the legislature of 1893 the Journal Gazette omitted to mention that he was the head of a gigantic movement, the object of which was to bolt a party legislative caucus. W bile this may be unimportant at this late day, yet it is worthy of mention by the Bench organ. The Berne Witness is now a twice a weeker. the change being made with their issue of Tuesday. Judging from the profusion of taffy the Witness bestowed upon itself,"we are led to believe that the change is accept able. The Witness also gloats over its reformation qualities a gem of which we reproduce: "Standing for purity of the home, the defense of woman, the betterment of man, against saloons, theaters and shows, tobacco and Sunday excursions, on the streets after 9 o’clock at night and all immoral doings, we enter upon our sixth year full of hope and faith. ’

< HAT WOCLD HEXbfilCcS DO? The most idolized leader that the Indiana democracy has ever had was B democracy, but wherever there lived a devotee of Jeffersonian principles there was found an ardent friend and admirer of the Indiana statesman. We can without fear or contradiction declare that from the beginning of the civil war. through the period of \ reconstruction, and on down to the >election of 1884. the national demos, i racy had no more brilliant, brainy ’and" cons* ientious leader. During that eventful period he was largely responsible for the molding of democratic sentiment. Every expression of his concerning party policy was deeply pondered and usually accepted >by the rank and file. And even now. after fifteen years of silence. his published speeches and the memory of superb leadership are an argument |in favor of party harmony and an i aggressive policy. At the beginning of the civil war : political conditions were chaotic in | deed. It seemed for awhile that all existing political organizations would i resolve themselves into their native elements. The democracy, being the party of opposition at the beginning of the most momentous conflict of the ' century, was especially prone to de- ■ ! moralization. Some democrats advo- j cated a temporary disorganization.! and the republicans demanded the abandonment of the party opposition. In the course of a magnificent address at Franklin in the fall of 1861 Mr. Hendricks went on record in favor of the perpetuation of the party and did much to strengthen the party organization during the most trying period of its existence. He held that while sometimes burdened with principles not purelv democratic, the democracy has for its foundation the principles of political liberty and equality—those two sustaining pillars of the republic. And he urged that the time would never come when the republic could afford to dispense with a party which has for its purpose the propagation of Jeffersonian principles. During these latter days the detnoe- j racy sadly feels the absence of her immortal chief. But the memory of i his h-adership and the legacy of his counsel can never lose their vitality. What would Hendricks do were he among us? He would point us to the wanton violations of the constitution —the contemptuous disregard of the spirit of the declaration the growing insolence and power of plutocratic wealth and urge us to thrust aside all difference* and unite in a harmon- 1 ious battle for liberty and the rights of man. Now that the fundamental ! principles of the republic are assailed there is no legitimate reason for demo ; cratic dissensions. And the democracy 1 will not be true to its mission, true to its history, true to the memory of Hendricks if he does not present a solid and compact opposition to op-. pression in the campaign of 1404.—J ! Sentinel. William J. Baris will be invited to speak in the Ohio campaign this fall, and this is evidence sufficient that I I eloquence and logic will meet the corrupting influences of the g. o. p. The campaign will open September 26. Hesbt Clay Evass. pension com- I missioner. has surprised his enemies by publicly stating that he expects to discharge the duties of that office to the end of the McKinley administra- ’ tration.

The great steel strike is still on: no ■ terms of peace having yet been reached. r The trust has so far been getting the ■ best of the deal and will continue to f do so as long as the strike lasts. The . Amalgamated association is not on , very good term- with itself and that i means their ultimate defeat.

The Muncie News was Tuesday • sold at Receiver's sale to George McCullough, owner of the Muncie Star, and the two papers will be consol id a ted. The news was established by C. F. W. Neeley, now in a Cuban prison, and afterwards passed into the hands I of the Heaths, who represented a republican faction opposed to that represented by McCullough.
