Notice is hereby given tnat a mass convention will be held in the court house in the City of Decatur, Indiana, on April 7. 1896, at seven o'clock p. tn., for the purpose of nominating one candidate for coun ci/tuan in each ward in said city. All candidates must present their names to the secretary at least two da\ s liefore theconvention and have their names placed upon the ticket. William Blackburn, Ch’rm Pattrick J. Bobo, Sec'y. The apportionment suit will' quite likely come up in thesupreme court soon. Counterfeit tendollar Williams ; are atl-iat at Muncie. The bills have all lie raised from two to ten. j i Representatives in congress ( have estimated that the present ( session has appropriated over a , billion dollars. ’Tain’t much. ( Henry Watterson, the much j honored editor of the Louisville ‘ Courier-Journal. will soon sail for Switzerland. While there he will . write the life of Lincoln.

He had quite a hard siege, but mastered the situation n an- 1 fully. Propositions for presiden 1 t’.a; booms will now be considered. ' _____ • 1 eneral Harrison and family ' havA gone to N-w York, where next week an important marriage will take place between the expresidont and Mrs. Dimmick. The event wtl sparkle with all kinds of briliiatice. Allen county democrats have sure’.v turned over a new leaf. They have conceded the joint representative for Allen and Hunting ton counties to the latter without a strugg.e Tbeir former disposi- : - ■ - • ■ ■ all they could get and kick for more. The tee and salary law has been advamed on the supreme court calendar, and that is a pretty good indicator that a decision will be rendered at an early date. County oftieon* »bo are receiving less than a ♦!<*) a quarter, will no doubt greet a decision in th’s matter with open arms. Mayor Tom Tagcart will no doubt be an important factor in the democratic nomination for governor. much as some newspaper correspondents are inclined otherwise. He is the one available man who is uid carry the state against Ray reasonable odds. But Indiana iu a democratic state on a straight up-to-date poll. The republicans of Fort Wayne held their city o-n vent ion Tuesday evening and nominated Chauncy B. Oakley fc-r Mayor, William T. Jeffries for dark, Paul E. Wolfe. Dr. A. P- Buehman. Charles E Jooe*. Frank ischmalr and E. C. Cook for c unei’men at large, and Theodor* W. E. Davis and William Meyer for waterworks trustee. The democrats at Wayne hare happily come together just right, and this year will wipe the earth with the ticket nominated above.

If all sign* don't fail in dry weather, wngrvaa will appropriate 91,500,000 for a new public build ing at Ind anapolia. The cred t for its passage ia due to the zealous efforts of Senator Turpie. ALL accounts received by ths Journal editor point towards an inerrwed repub liean eotethh fall. It will probably run between IJWO and 1.600 in Adams county —Journal. Make the figure* big enough while you are at it. It don't coat any more or take any more ink. The stationery and printing for the past year coat thewunty 9511.77 lew* than in 1890; 9831.48 lew* than in 1891; 9649.38 leaa than in 1892; 97.01 leaa than in 1893, and 9676.54 leas than in 1894. It’s simply ter rible the way the Pres* robe the taxpayers. Arrangements will be perfected at the city democratic maaa convention at the court house next Tuesday evening, for the proper division of each ward, wherein they may be able to make their candidate selections without interference from any other ward. Let every democrat be on hand and take part in the selections of proper candidates for the elective offices. The Journal is real funny some times. Last week it particularly told of an effort on the part of democratic newspapers to drop the tariff. Was there ever anything more untrue. When it comes to discussing tariff, democratic rewspapers are always willing and right at home. Tariff reform is a true democratic emblem of which that party is justly proud, and which it is willing to defend at any time. The Huntington Democrat fat or ably mentions the name of J. Fred France as a prospective candidate for joint representative for Hunt-j ington and Allen counties. Jim’s many friends would very much like to see his name adorn such a ticket and his election afterwards. Allen and Huntington count es are demo cratic, thank you. and Jimmie will wear a handle on his name and . otherwise distinguish himself should he permit his name to be ' linked in this connection. The speakei or newspaper amert- j' ing that the decline in government revenues came in with the Wilson ( bill perverts plain facts. When the McKinley bill was passed the ' surplus in the treasury was 9105.- ‘ 000.000: after it had been a year in operation the surplus was 937,-) 000.000- at the end of the second I year it was ei,tK»i*,ooo and after the end of the third year the deficit 1 was #8 .000.900. These are the figures given by so leading a repub- j lican auth<»rity as Senator Sherman. 1 —DeaMoines Leader. Bro. Blackburn will please note that the Press has swallowed , all of its babyish and lying insin unions that it cares to. and here after we shall endeavor, as best we know how. to defend ourselves against his illiterate au 1 untruthful peanut stock ofbombardment. The editor of this paper never by word or deed, tried to defeat democratic supremacy, or mi-de per sonal reflections, such as named, about any county official. We have on hand a very interesting accumn lation of recorded and unrecorded facts, which we will take pleasure in putting into readable shape, should this war of words continue. This is no weak-kneed bluff, but business. W alter Clark, a literary writer lof some note, spent last winter in Mexico and now he gives some interesting observations of the con ditions of that country. He says prosperity abounds in tones that are decidedly emphatic. The farmer gets from f- urteen to nineteen cents a pound for his cotton. #1 to #1.40a bushel for his corn. Everything in proportion. He also says that the cause of our financial trouble comes not from the depreciation of silver, but in the en--1 hancement of gold, and this is due not to the over production of silver, but to the legislation demonetizing ■ it. Thi« he demonstrates by the following: 1.) When silver was i demonetized in 1873. it was worth more than gold. 2. The report i of the Director of the United States Mint for last year shows that the quantity of gold mined annually in the world is 9190,000,1 000, and of silver 9106,000,000 at the present bullion price. Or putting silver at 16 to 1. as form- . erly, the value would be raised from 9»>',000,000 to 203,000,000 — that is. about the same as gold. 3. In 1890. during the debate on , the Sherman bill, when at one i time it seemed that free coinage ■ would be adopted, silver went up. t or rather gold came down so that ■ silver was worth 1.17 per onnee, ! that is. within 12 cents of par. t This was merely in anticipation of | free coinage.”

“Saved My Life” t A VKTKRAN’S STORY. •’Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling. Minn., 1 caught a aevere cold, attended with a terrible cough, i that allowed me no real day or night The doctors after exhausting their remedies, pronounced my

case hopeless, saying they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER’S Cherry Pectoral was to me by a , friend who urged me to take it, which

I di<i. and soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a ahort time was completely cured. I have never haJ much of a cough since that time, and I firmly believe Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved my life.” —W. H. AVard, 8 Quimby Av.. Lowell, Mass. AYER’S Cherry Pectoral Highest AvaMs at Wsrld's Fair. AYER S FILLS c»« Isbessttw sM NsaSacbe Alijln Zollar’s boom for governor hasn't extended very far beyond the confines of Allen county. Mayor Taggart is the inspiring candidate. Calamity howlers give heed. Under the new democratic tariff the export of American manufactures has increased from 9183,718,- >. 484 under the McKinley law for 1894 to #201,000,000. Blankets and all household articles are cheaper than they ever were under the high protective laws of the Harrison and other republican ad minist rations. It is understood that at the demo cratic joint delegate convention of Allen and Huntington counties, to te held during the summer, probably after the state convention, that the name of J. Fred France, mem-1 ber of the law firm of France A Dungan, of this city, will be presented as a candidate for the nomi- j nation as joint representative. Mr. France is a solid andcorsist ent democrat and would be most acceptable to the democrats of both counties.—Huntington Democrat. Thomas a. Edison has progressed so far in his experiments with Iwentgeu ray that he has been able to see through a solid block of wood eight inches thick. The bones of the hand could be plainly seen through the intervening wood. Mr. Edison declares that it is sim- J ply a question of further experiment and more powerful light when the human eye will be able to see through solid metals, brick walls, sealed letters and the human t>«ly. Mr. Edison believes that there is no reason why physicians may not look into our heart, lungs and stomach.
