THURSDAY, JANUARY ft. At't’OßDiXG to theOmlam News it's already Governor Ttsid. The marriage of Ex-Preaident Harrison is expected in a fewweek a. Governor MortonofNew York, is mak ng Imld pretentions of l»e---ing the republican nominee for president. The president and family gave a New Year's dinner to the mem* tiers of the cabinet. Supposing that they eat the same as common elite, we grant them a pleasant time. Prerident Cleveland has signed the proclamation admitting Utah as a stalo. Governor West of that State, now possesses the pen and penholder that assisted in doing the biz. The Pre® will contain some mighty interesting reading during this year’s campaign, and you will miss it by not adding your name to our roster of readers. Now is the appointed time. Governor Matthews is willing to be a presidential cand : date on the 1892 platform, as construed from a western standpoint. Here is an opportunity for a little political enlightenment.

Thf. Hon. James M. Robinson of Fort Wayne, is a candidate for congress in the twelfth district. Judging from long, extended and ‘•high-tiuting*’ writeups in the Wayne papers, he is big enough to be a candidate for the presidency. The primary election in this county has been set for Saturday, February 29. It is now in order ior those having aspirations to officially serve the people and themselves, to get a good-sized hump on their hustling proclivities. At the meeting of the county central committee Saturday, there was a small disposition among those in attendance to change the mode of nominating county officers from a primary election to a delegate convention. The favor of the primary system was in the majority, but it is quite likely that this question will lie submitted to the people on February 29. Ingersoll, in spite of his antagonist c opposition to religion, is one of the foremost orators of America. The people who have no regard for his debased utterances against the religious creed can't help but admire his brilliance on the lecture platform. He lectured on "The foundation of faith” at the Masonic Temple Tuesday uight, and several from this city went to hear him.

J. J. Netterville of Anderson, Is the new selected state committeeman for this congressional dis trict. He was selected at the Muncie meeting yesterday. Senator Turpi e has introduced a bill in the United Slates senate to increase from 820 to 85<t per month the pension <>t old soldiers on account of duafnesss. If the republicans had been even one tenth honest in their professions of putting up the taxes for “revenue only” they would have voted an additional tax of 81 a barrel on beer. This would have supplied all the revenue needed even for coast defenses in the event of war. Instead of this they hate passed through the house a bill increasing the taxes on the warm clothing of the people 35 percent., and on nearly all other necessaries •15 per cent. Providence will not everlastingly frown on the demo- ' erats.

The new democratic state central committee as selected at the various district meetings yesterday is composed of John W. Spencer of Evansville. Parks W. Martin of ' Spencer, Richard A. illett of Leavenworth, Joel Matlock of Brownstown, Frank A. Horner of Brazil, K. M. Hord of Shelbyville, Thomas Taggart of Indianapolis, J. J. Netterville of Anderson, W. H. Johnson of Crawfordsville. William H. Blackstock of yette Rufus Magee of Ixigansport, Thomas R. Marshall of Columbia City, and Peter T. Kruyer of Plymouth.

President Cleveland appar ently has the good judgment to say the right thing at the right time. His proclamation affirming the Monroe doctrine was apt and time ly. Following that came his financial message which congress recog

nized as sufficiently mighty to f justify setting aside the holiday r adjournment. Now comes his of- j • fer to sell to the populaee 4100,-1 1 000,000 worth of bonds. Chargesj ? have lieen freely marie that the > president is in league with the bond • syndicate, and received a share of its profits of the last sale. In our I opinion the time wasnot ripe when , the last bonds were sold to offer ■ | them to the people. The sale • could not have lieen made at that time direct to the people. But since that sale events have happened which have brought the bond issue forcibly to the attention of the people. The president, grasping the situation, now otters to the people 4 j»er cent, interest bearing registered bonds, in de- j nominations of £SO each. Any] citizen desiring to invest £SO or any multiple thereof, for thirty | years at 4 per cent, interest, will] have an opportunity of doing so. We hope some one in Decatur will purchase several thousand dollais worth of these bonds for our bene tit. The theory of this issue is correct. It is designed to lienetit the many instead of the few. The many in this case are the people, the few are the New York bankers. Tne president sees the value of money centers, and used them until the time arrived when the people were ready to purchase a sufficient amount of bonds, when he repudiated the bond syndicate. The people will take care of the bonds.

The demohiatlc editorial associ--a ion of Indiana will meet at Indiana|stlis on February <’>, to elect olllcers. The apportionment of the state . school funds hiia been apportioned ' by the state HU|s-iintemlent of pub ’ lie instruction. The total amount to lie distributed is 81,121.110. Out 1 of this amount Adams county gets 810,495.47. ' We are all ngog concerning the bond issue that is s<M»n to be forth coming. Some of the critics of the administration are scoring it ‘ roundly for issuing bonds that are interest lien ring, Ac., and congress has come to the relit f with a taritl bill that if passed by the senate and endorsed by the president would yield something like *4O,1 000,000 of revenue. If bonds are is-msl they wi'l have to Is- paid by . ' the next generation, certainly, but bail as the issue of bonds is there is something that is worse, and I that is the passing of a tariff bill that will place duties upon the , necessities of life. No one except those who having never had the ■ advantages of a free school ednea- • tion. believe the famous McKinley ■ aphorism, “The foreigner pays the ■ tax,” can fail to see that placing such a tariff is bonding the next generation in a much more dangerous and insidsous way, even than the issuing of interest bearigg Ismds, made payable in gold, can lie. Let not the tentacles of protectionism lie fastened any more closely to the vitals of our nation.

The great republican majority in the house is already torn into two factions, and the smaller one has even this early demonstrated its strength and its ability to compel the relaxation of the rules of the speaker. The passage of the tariff bill practically without debate and absolutely without opportunity for the consideration of any sort of amendment, was a lesson to many republicans. The companion bond bill was slated to pass under a drastic rule permitting three hours' debate and no amendments. But great opposition developed. There was a caucus of dissidents. The protestators claimed that they had seventy five republican mem bers who agreed with them. A committee from the kickers, which was headed by Case Broderick, <f Kansas, met the committee on rules t»efore the house met. It was indeed bearding the lion in his den for a bolting committee to wait on the bitter desjait of the fiftyfirst congress and protest against gag rules to the gag ruler himself. It was unheard of in the “good old days,” but the committee was tremendously in earnest and laid down its demands in very stiff terms. They were in effect that the committee should not only treble the time allotted for debate, but allow the republican antagonists of the bill to have time in the debate and control its contribution themselves. Speaker Reed surrenderrd and thns saved his bill. It did not prevent a gigantic kick, however, for forty seven republicans went on record against the bill even as amended. The debate was enlivened by the bolt of Johnson, of California, who denounced the Dingley tariffand declared that the financial bill was merely an attempt by ‘•Peanut politicians to put the president in a hole.”

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 29. Owing to the extreme cold ami disagreeable weather theoulpouring of the faitful at the court house last . Saturday was somewhat limit'd. I Nevertheless there was a very reasonably large number of demo crate from the rural districts who braced the storm and inclemi ency and appeared smiling and rad ten t upon the scene of action. The principal feature of the party ■ call was the selection of delegatee at the Muncie convention. Chair- ' man Tyndall rapped tor order at two o’clock ami proceeded to state the object of the meeting, which was thio selection of delegates as ■ above stated, whose duty it was to help select a memlier of the state central committee, who also byvirtue of that oftice would l»e the committeeman for this congressional district. The delegates then selected were Ww. Erwin of Union township, J. H. Hobrock of Root, Henry Dirkson of Preble, J. Il Lenhart of Kirkland, George W. H netting of Washington, J. W. Vizzard of St. Marys, J. M. M illie of Blue Creek, C. W. Hocker of Monroe, C. E. Stuckey and Joseph Donner of French, Peter Hoffman of Hartford, 8. W. Hale of Wabash, W. V. Buckmaster of Jefferson, John F. Snow, N. Blackburn ami Lew G. Ellingham of Decatur. Following these selections came the following resolution which was unanimously penned and offered by R. K. Erwin: “Whereas, Adams county is the Itanner democratic county in the state, therefore be it Resolved. That it is the sense

, of the committee and it is earnestly requested that the delegation from Adan s county l>e instructed to cast her vote for an Adams ■ county delegate for congressional committeeman, it any there lie." The resolution was adopte 1 without opposition. Then after more or less discussion it was agreed to name a day and date for the holding of the primary election, at which time a county auditor, treas urer, sheriff, surveyor and two commissioners will be nominated.: There wsis a variety of opinion expressed as to when the primary should lie held, said opinion carrying from three weeks to three months. The final determination settled the question by determining on Saturday, Feburary 29, eight weeks from that day. The election will be-held under the Aus tralian system. The committee will m«et again on Saturday, Feb ruary 8, at which time the assessments of candidates and final arrangement pf various other details relative to the primary will be ad justed. It is now in order for the candidates to ls»b.
