THE DEMOCRAT •VIHY THURSDAY MORNING BY LEW Q, ELLINOHAM, Publisher. == » ' — 11.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Watered at the postofflce at Decatur. Indiana as second-class mail matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, DEC. 5. The democrats in congress have again selected Congressman Richardson of Tennessee, as leader of the minority. The Jefferson Club of Fort Wayne are making preparations for the fitting celebration of Jackson Day, which will include a banquet and speeches galore. The president has created practically a new idea in New York by ignoring Platt and taking up Governor Odell and Mayor-elect Low. He is perfectly confident that he will receive the support of New York in spite of Platt. Hon. Frank Hanley the statesman from Lafayette, has defined himself upon the senatorial question in which he says he will not oppose Senator Fairbanks but will give Beverage a catch as catch can, rough and tumble exhibition in the year of our Lord 1905. Mayor Dunlap of Anderson, has officially announced his candidacy for I congress in opposition to Congress I man Cromer. This is the first public announcement of any candidate, but I it will likely be followed by others I who have the interest of George F. | McCullough at heart, The Bluffton Chronicle and News now occupy a handsome new home on ' the ground floor, in the business cen ter of the city. New presses, new type and new airs are flung to the I breezes there with all the skill and dexterity of a Gould or an abscond- | ing bank cashier. The Chronicle and News is a goal paper and makes' money even while its deck hands sleep. We do not wish to impugn the mo- ; tires of any of our brethren of the press, but it seems strange indeed that certain newspapers should have endorsed Mr. Cromer enthusiastically for a time, and then suddenly discov-1 ered that he was not the man to be sent to congress. Have the editors of these sheets “been seen,” or did they ■ fail to get a coveted appointment?! For the honor of the fraternity we are : glad that these “turncoats” are scarce. ■ Winch star Herald. At the meeting of the democratic state committee held one day last: week. January 2, was selected as the date for holding the district meetings, which will select the district committeemen. Hon. B. H. Campbell of Anderson, will no doubt be retained in the eighth congressional district. He is an active worker, a shrewd politician, and from expressions at hand the Adams county delegation will be only too glad to support and see him at the head of the district organization.

Fall Stock Clothing Is now in, and we believe that we can truthfully say that we have as complete and thoroughly up to date a clothing stock as can be found in Adams county. Our stock consists of everything in the way of. —' 11 1 II I Wl-111l Men's Overcoats, Men’s Suits, Youth's Suits, Boy's Knee Pant Suits. Reefers and Youth's Overcoats. Our stock is carefully arranged to suit all, whether you want a low priced suit or garment, or something that is as stylish and neat fitting as a tailor made garment, we can accomodate you. We extend a cordial invi tation to all prospective clothing purchasers to call and inspect our new and complete stock 1... M. Fu 11 enka mp, GASS & MEYERS, Managers.

The Huntington Daily Democrat is enlarged, wears a bran new “dress” as well as being otherwise improved. The paper is also well edited, newsy and all right. District eight is not treating Congressman Cromer considerately. Cromer leaves for Washington to attend congress and the next day Mayor Dunlap of Anderson, gets in the race, isn’t this enough to give a servant of the people insomania? Indianapolis Sun. Roosevelt has revolutionized the political machine of the southern states, destroying Hanna’s McKinley organization wherever they appeared to be formidable and putting men of his own selection in command by making them distributers of federal patronage. According to the formal call issued by Chairman Martin of the Democratic State Committee the district meeting of the eighth congressional district, will be held in Bluffton, ThursI day, January 2, 1902. At this time I a member of the state committee for I this district will be chosen. On the following Wednesday the new state committee will meet for organization by the election of a thoroughbred for chairman. The Red Key Times boldly makes the charge that several newspapers in the eighth congressional district are veritable “nickle in the slot machines.” They take the cash from | the millionaire newspaper promoter at Muncie, and then write long winded j forecasts about the unfitness of the present congressman and the beauties :of any old opposition that sticks up 1 his head. j Hon. A. O. Marsh, of Winchester. I is in Washington primarillv in the ini terest of Judge L. J. Monks who is ! seeking the federal judgeship, and I who is not sleeping soundly because of a well grounded fear that light ning may strike one of the other eleven hundred candidates. Whether or not this missionary will be able to straighten a very bad tangle, remains to lie seen. In the meantime the atmosphere seems dense and clouded. The meeting of the democratic county central committe last Saturday brought forth a large attendance, both members of the committee and democrats from all over the county. The committee set the date for the coming primary election. Friday, January 10. 1902. The rules and legulations of said primary will be found printed elsewhere, and we commend them for a cateful reading by every democrat in the county. At the meeting of the Democratic Central Committee last Saturday Chairman E. Burt Lenhart tendered his resignation, and John W. McKean was selected in his place. Mr. Lenhart has filled the position as chairman for the past two years and it was with reluctance that the committhe accepted his resignation. He has been a faithful worker in the ranks and did his duty faithfully and well. Such a commendatory resolution was unanimously passed by the committee. The new chairman bears the ear marks of a judicious chairman, and we predict that he will fill the position with credit and honor to all concerned.

The president’s message appears elsewhere in the Democrat and treats of most every publie question. Indiana statesmen have already introduced bills for public buildings at Hammond, Elkhart, Anderson, Muncie, Richmond and Vincennes. Let the good work go on. Croker the Tammany Chieftain, has given up the ghost, and says he will turn the leadership of this powerful organization ov<-r to other hands. This is certainly good news. The district meeting to be held at Bluffton January 2. will be made up of 127 delegates, of which Adams county gets 16, Delaware 23, Jav 17, Madison 41, Randolph 12, Wells 18. The Muncie Morning Star occupies a unique position in eight district politics. The paper has been a ninth day wonder ever since its origin, because of the fact that it is in one respect the personal organ, of George F. McCollough and also because of the fact that it fills a field several stages in advance of the field itself. The Star is a great paper—whatever else may be said of it- and deserves the success claimed for itself. It is now pretty generally accepted as a fact that George McCullough, the interurban magnate, has political designs, and has ’em bad. George would be a United States senator in the course of time if he would have his heart's desire and is laying plans right now to capture the plum. McCullough is a politician of the first class type, a man of wonderful energy and the possessor of a large-size barrel. With these weapons, together with a well equipped newspaper plant, who can tell from here? Anderson Bulletin.

President Roosevelt’s first message is so long that one is inelined to wonder what he will produce when he becomes accustomed to writing them. He evidently aims to discuss everything connected with the affairs of 1 the general government, and, if so, he succeeds in his aim. At least we know of no subject that escaped. As a consequence the message does not give the impression of forcefulness that was predicted for it by the president’s admirers. His language is strong enough, but his reeuuiiueiidations on many subjects are very cloudy. The general sentiment that crops out repeatedly is that “there is great deal said on both sides of the subject, and I earnestly recommend congress to use great care in dealing with it.” Sentiuel. In Adams county we can find but two men who are supporting him.—Albany Advocate. The above is a “jigger” at Cromer, and should have been denied from republican sources, because the statement is untrue. As a matter of fact every candidate for the postoffice is for the present congressman, and you will have to multiply two several times to count the number of republicans who want the jxistofiice. But to tell the honest truth, if there is a member of the working organization who is opposed to bis nomination, we have failed to hear it, and if the Albany Advocate had said there were two in Adams county who were making googoo eyes at Millionaire McCullough, he would have hit the nail on the head.
