A NEWSPAPER ROW CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE party, is said to have declared his intention of severing his connection with the Huntington Herald, on which he is retained as editorial writer, being highly disgruntled over the expressed intentions of the present management. Mr. Butler will be chosen to assume control of the new republican paper, providing present plans materialize. The consolidation of the TimesDemocrat and Herald is the prime sensation of the day. The public is keenly aroused and the matter has prompted a discussion that precludes the most stirring national issues from consideration. The democrats admit they have already obtained the services of an editor, and declare they are determined to thwart the designs of the interests who have attempted to assume sole dictation in civic and political policies of the municipality. Miss Caryl Baughman went to Fort Wayne this morning.

The first demonstration occurred when a ■ delegation from Adams county entered the hall, lead by a former salloon man from Berne. It was announced that this crowd came from | the district of Stephen B.
