Hii.l is the kind of a democrat who believes that his party could lie in better business than that of reducing the wages ot the men whose interests it promised to conserve and promote when they helped to restore it to power. Hill is get ting to be somewhat better than his party. THE TIME To BL'Y. Wai.eek B. Lewis: “I paid out nearly four thousand dollars for j land last month. That don't look as if I was frightened by hard times. There is no better way to kill a panic than by keeping money in circulation. The above is given prominence by the Democrat presumably to convey the idea that times are brightening. No one knows better, however, than the man who has ready money in abundance that this is his year anti not the poor man's. A man who has $1000 to pay out for land these days is exceedingly fortunate, not alone for having so much money but for the fact that bargains were never so glaringly prominent. Democracy by crushing the financial life out of men. has placed fine land and other dividend paying investments in the reach of the favored few who have money and the reason that money is going into circulation along that line is that shrewd investors, such as Mr. Lewis, realize that democracy has sent prices to such a low ebb that now is the time to buy and hold land until republicans get into power and send prices up to wtiere they belong: and in the mean time the man who has land and is in a tight place gets the energy squeezed out of him, loses Ills home and all which pass into the hands of the rich investor. Yes, this is the time to buy if you have the money. These are the times that made one of the shrewdest and tightest money lenders in Putnam county, who is a republican, (ell a democratic cashier of a bank not over a thousand miles from the court house, that these “good democratic times” had nearly made a democrat out of him. He said to the banker: “Horses are down, w heat is down, land is down, everything is down at rock bottom prices. I have money and am now making fifteen to twenty per cent out of the poor devils that have to borrow it. These democratic times suit me and 1 am about to turn democrat, if you will guarantee me as good returns on my cash as I now am getting: why, I nevertnade so much money in my life.” It seems that democracy's favorite argument of legislation in favor of the masses as against the classes has got twist ed around since Cleveland's regime took hold and that now, in reality, the favored few, the moneyed men, men with cash, can snap up snaps and squeeze out heavy rates of interest. Whenever $4000 goes into circulation these days, it expects to return with about $4000 hanging to it. Democracy has, indeed, favored the cash holding few. The democrats in congress should remember that the democratic na tionul platform in 1892 read as follows: “We denounce republican protection as a fraud; a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. And we demand that the collection of tariff duties shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically administered”—Star /Vcm. The Star-Prc** should tell it's readers why its’ party hasn't “re-

nicmliered” and fulfilled any pledges of it's Chicago platform, and that the Wilson bill is as far from what was demanded in that platform as any measure could he. Still the organ has been clamoring for it’s passage. It's so inconsistent, it doesn't know when it is erratic.

The especial beauty in an Ohio election table is the number of communities born again, as it were, which appear in it. It is either a landslide or the first victory. Here are a few evidences of the honor of the prophet, McKinley, in his own country: Alliance—Republicans elect everything by pluralities of 700. , Hamilton—The home of ex-fmvernnr Campbell elects republican mayor for the first time. Wooster—Republicans made nearly a clean sweep; usually democratic. Dennison—Republican clean sweep. I'riehsville—A clean republican landslide. London For the first time in ten years the republicans elected a mayor. Waverly—The republicans elected Charles Peters mayor. This is the first republican mayor ever elected here. Fostoria—Republicans sweep everything except one ward office. Mansfield—The republicans electAl their entire ticket for the fir.-t time in the history of the city. Piipia—Republicans have wrested control of the city council from the democrats, making heavy gains. Wapaknneta—Republicans elect a mayor for the first time by 1500 majority. Township officers are democratic. Lima—Republicans elected entire ticket by majorities of 50 to 300. Crestline—The usual democratic majority of 250 i» replaced by a republican majority of 150. Akron—Entire republican city ticket elected by a plurality of 300, and the republicans get five out of seven coun* oilmen and every member of the board of education Canton—The home of Governor McKinley gave up democratic rule by the election of four out of seven councilmen, all of the board of education and a member of the board of water works trustees. The township also elected a full republican ticket. There is a normal democratic majority of 500. Toledo—The entire republican city ticket was elected. The republicans liave thirteen of the eighteen councilmen and seven of nine aldermen. The republican party walks while dead with more grace than obi Don Giovanni.

Devoid of all other argument the democratic papers of Putnam county are endeavoring to rake over tlie past of the republican party in Putnam county and see ifthey cannot bring to light some of the old fight. They this week quote the words “half breed” and “stalwart’’ and try to make capital out of them. The aggressive front presented by republicans everywhere in Putnam this year alarms democracy to such an extent that they are desperate and would gladly welcome a loop hole to assail in the ranks of republicans. Republicans in Putnam are no longer foolish. They are wise by experience. There was a time when they threw away bright opportunities for splendid victories, and in looking hack see where they made mistakes. There’s none of it now, however, and we doubt if there is any in the party who could without the aid of a dictionary tell the meaning of the above quoted words. Republicans are united and will en gage the attention of the county on the 14th inst. when they will place the best ticket ever nominated in the field. Democratic drivel about dissensions in the republican ranks this year are hut additional evidence that “emptiest things reverberate most sound.” The Banner Times has freely given it's space to the views of republicans and friends of candidates from all parts of the county on po litical matters just preceding the county convention. We do this gladly, as we believe all such views should be expressed fully and satisfactorily before the nominating struggle on Saturday. After that there will be no expressions of opin ion except that the ticket is of the. best. There’s harmony in the air and the opinion is held by each candidate that if he is not the one to make the best race lie will get out of the way for his opponent. This feeling is right, and shows that the party is in dead earnest in it's intentions this year. We have been impartial in the matter and

have refused none The various candidates should hear in mind that tiiis paper is not espousing the cause of any particular one for the ditlerent positions to he filled. When an announcement is handed in it is followed by some editorial remarks of a general nature, but [ we do not think it proper for the recognized organ of the republican 1 party to take sides in the contest between the aspirants for official position, and all of whom are and have been friends of the paper. The following concerning the candidacy of Col. J. H. Jordan for the nomination of judge of the supreme court is from the Newcastle Courier: The name of Judge J. H. Jordan, of Martinsville, will be presented to the republican state convention for nomination as a candidate for judge from the first supreme court judieial oistrict. It is generally accepted as due to the dignity of the judicial ermine that the office should seek the man. in the sense that a person willing or deserving to receive the nomination is not expected to get out and “hustle” for it after the maimer of candidates for offices of a difterent nature. This rule is, we believe, being generally observed by the gentlemen named as candidates for judges of the supreme court. But there is no rule against their friends speaking good words for them. Of Judge Jordan it can tie said that he is eminently fitted for the place. As a lawyer and judge be ranks high in the estimation of the bar of the state, and his nomination would give great satisfaction to those having business in the court of last resort.

Said a Madison township demo crat to the Banner Times: “I had to learn the news last week of Mr. Cleveland’s veto of the Bland bill from the Banner Times. The democratic papers would tell us nothing about it either one way or the other. They have their cue this week from headquarters, however, and I see one of them publishes the message in. full. Your criticism has stirred them up, it seems. They have got to give us the news this year or we will know why. In it's present shape the democratic party isn’t so much greater than our erratic president after all, and there will be several desertions around here if that Washington gang thinks it can give us such a raw deal as they have fora year. When we are pinched we are did.”

Experience lias proved the past year that early election returns are never reliable. In every instance they show great republican gains but the full story is never known until all precincts are in, then the republican majority is invariably unprecedented and phenomenal. It was so in Rhode Island this week. At first it was a great victory and now it is a landslide. The total vote for governor in the thirty-six cities and towns was: Brown v re publican. 28,844; Baker, democrat. 22,991. The democratic strong holds, Newport, Pawtucket, St itu ate, Cumberland and Tiverton returned handsome republican plur alities. The next United States senator will he republican. In the election returns from Albany. N. Y., Tuesday, a republican mayor is elected by .'1424 majority, the first time a republican has held that office for fifteen years. In New’ Jersey’ many cities went republican for the first time in their existence. The Indiana cities will speak on May 1. an<l then will he results that will surprise the enemy. Greencastle will roll up about 300 majority. The Commercial Gazette appeared Tuesday for the first time under the control of Perry S. Heath. The great republican journal will be a power in it’s new hands, as Mr. Heath is one of the best known journalists in the country. The democratic deficit lor March was about $(5,000,000, or half a million more than that for February. which is hardly consistent, to say the least, with Cleveland's re cent observations about returning prosperity. Among other evils of this year it is said this is the “seventeen year locust” season. If there is anything else democracy wants to indict scud it along.

Home SiiKK«‘KtioiiH from the North. Cari’f.ntkrsvili.k, April 10, IS'.H. Editor Banner Times. If convenient anil agreeable, please insert in tins week’s paper, a few thoughts about candidates for the different state offices who are seeking nominations. I see Hon. Thos. Hanna is out for attorney general, and I think Putnam county ought to indorse him in the convention the 14th and instruct her delegates to cast Putnam’s vote for him in the state convention. He is one of Putnam’s sons, and I think worthy of the place. Also, I think that Mayor Case ought to have a full indorsement and the delegation instructed to cast Putnam’s solid vote for him in the congressional convention. Also, I think VV. D. Owen, of Logansport, for secretary of state, and John W. Coons for auditor of state should not be forgotten. He made a race in '1)2 and was defeated and he might to have another chance, and for »t de statistician John Worrel, of Clayton, should he remembered. These are only a few suggestions of mine. But one thing of as much importance as any other to Putnam county, is the selection of good candidates for our county offices and I hope that perfect harmony will prevail in our convention, and that candidates will he nominated with an eye to the vote getting qualities and their capabilities to perform the duties of the office. We want good men, vote winners, and honest men, men that will look to Putnam county’s interests, and not to party interests alone. A public officer is a public servant to the whole people, and should look to the best interests of the tax payers. Putnam's taxes have been too high for years. A. II. Pickki.. Two Political Notes. The Hub and the Bell clothing stores now each has a candidate for councilman. They will both be on the “upper shelf” when the count is made. It has been suggested that Mr. Brazier, who, it was rumoied, would go with the south Greencastle delegation to join Coxey’s army, need not let a little thing like the nomination for marshal interfere with his plans. A democratic nomination this year will not crack the placid surface of any democrat’s luture state. They will he just the same after as before the election. Items from Our Colored Friend*.
