I cl.tois at a Banquet NeYork, Sip., 7.—Noarl-' five hundred democratic editors from all parts of the United States met at a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight, the occasion being a national conference, called at the instance of the democratic national committee. The toast list included several of the best known democratic editors in the country. All of the toasts were on political subjects. Col. Slyvanus E. Johnson, Washington correspondent of the Enquirer, and a former resident of the Gridiron club, was the toastmaster. A large orchestra furnished music during the dinner. When “Dixie” was played the diners, many of whom were from the south, jumped to their feet and the rebel yell was given several times. Enthusiasm was at the highest pitch when the selection was encored. The editors will call on Judge Parker at Esopus tomorrow, and will be addressed by the nomineee, it being his first political speech of the year. F BEVERIDGE’S PREDICTION. Senator Beveridge, that manifest destiny statesman who once discovered some "good” trusts, has been to see the president. He was fresh from the Maine woods when he called on the chief magistrate, and when he reached New York the next day he announced that Indiana would give 25,000 Republican majority this fall. As the senator hadn’t met anyone from Indiana for two months he must have gotten his information from the president. It is supposed that the president got his tip from Chairman Goodrich, who declared, when the boom for Hanna was about to sweep over the country, that Indiana would be a doubtful state if Roosevelt was nominated. And what Goodrich told the president, if he told him that 25,000 Republican majority yarn, he probably got from Charley Hernly, who was one of the promoters of the Hanna boom at the December love-feast, and who was certain then that Roosevelt couldn’t carry Indiana at all. If Hernly gave Goodrich that valuable pointer, he probably got it from Judge Brownlee, who called Roosevelt a “bronco-buster” whom the people would not again trust with of fice.

WARDER W. STEVENS. Warder W. Stevens, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor, is a practical and, therefore, a successful farmer. He is a Kentuckian by birth and is fifty-nine years of age. He came to Indiana when a child, attended the public schools and later graduated at the State University at Bloomington. His real ambition in life was to be a farmer, and his work as a lawyer and afterward as an editor was all with a view to saving money enough to buy a farm. How well he succeeded is shown by the fact that when he went to Salem, Washington county, in 1867. he had but twenty-five cent# m ms pocket, wnue now n« owns »_ acres of well-stocked farming land in that county. Everything about hla farm gives evidence of the thrift and energy of the possessor, and many ot the farmers who have heard his lectures will bear testimony to the progressive ideas which he has followed in the management of his business affairs. The natural tendency of Republican administrations, whether national, state, county or township, U toward extravagance. Since the party went Into power at Washington in 1897 there has been a constantly Increasing record of expense, and the same is true of the Republican state administration In Indiana since 1895. "The men who object to what they style ‘government by injunction’ are. as regards the essential principle of government. In hearty sympathy with their remote skin-clad ancestors who lived In caves, fought one another with stone-headed axes, and ate the mamBioth and woolly rhfnorceroe."—Theodore Roosevelt.
