Then ease the star of the occasion Congress-nan Adair who responded to dignified and to honest. and who toid the story of his career in congress without an earmark <f boasting.

In the peadisg eougresaional 'teASten to. to* Eighth district, we have as yet htoud of no ■Hktett being Indulged to against Mr Adair but the friends of his opponent.

And if these attack* are gravy for “Uncle Nat?" why not let theta proceed to their labor of benefttting Mr. Cromer's standard bearer? If the- Democratte press have maHgned “Unde Nate" where was the high and mighty censor of newspaper ethics, the Muncie Star, that ft did not cal! the meek and k-wty editors upon the carpet aid read to them from the good b<«s-? Why not? Who somlagted Unde Nate? Was it the rank and file at the RepabHcan party, or wag ft the Cromer machine. and is it indulging in personalities against "Unde Nate" the 1“veetgatw, to say so? it was common expression among nine-tenthg of the Republicans that Cromer never did anythnig for fun, and was ft treason for the Democratic press to ■ay so? The amount stipulated a* Cromer’s charge for performing the great service of nominating his caodMate for congress ha* been variously estimated, and had the Desnocraiic press no right to say bo?

That is rather a funny article that the Republican state committee has caused to be sent oat bearing ob the toerMse to the value of farm lands. The chief point the article makes is that the increase to value •'enables the farmers to borrow more money on mirogagrs " True, perhaps, and many farmers have been compelled by thiertog tariffs aad high taxes to borrowbat unless the owner wants to sell, the higher valuation means cnly mo*e taxes, without adding anything to the amount of wheat and com and other things that the land will produce. As a rule farmers do not hare their 'and on the marker, and do not borrow “an mortgages" unless forced to do so by bad eonditictts A FEW PERSONALS Rev.
