The democrats of Putnam were again disappointed Saturday in not seeing the resolutions adopter! by the republican county convention I in print, and they also wanted some 1 information on the state convention. They found neither. This {again makes a demand on back numbers of the Banner Times. We believe it will do every democrat in the county good to read both sets of resolutions, notwithstanding the edict has gone out from democratic headquarters telling the democratic editors to print no republican resolutions this year. The campaign of education being received ! by democrats this year doesn't suit | Ader, Bridges, Hurst et al. No wonder; the people are learning j every day that democracy is their I enemy.

Vote the straight republican ticket. It is safe on general prin ciples, and for specific purposes it is sure.
Tins is no time to vote the democratic ticket. The times are too bard to encourage a party that lias destroyed the industries of the country. The Nashville America/), a democratic papers, says: “Counting a quorum" in a democratic house with nearly 100 majority is certainly a humiliating spectacle. Shades of our fathers! what have we come to?
The Indianapolis Journal perhaps knows its business in Green castle but we fear it does not. Its correspondence from here is notoriously bad and unreliable and the complaints that have arisen from ; time to time go unheeded at headI quarters, all of which is detrimental to that excellent paper’s interests ! here. In Wednesday's telegraphic dispatches on election matters the following squib gives the news to the state from Greencastle: USUAL ItKPUHLll'AN MAJORITY. Grkknuasti.k, Ind., May 1.—The republicans elected their entire city ticket today by the usual majority. The Banner Times would like to respectfully call the Journal's attention to the fact, if its correspondent will not, that the republicans made a gain Tuesday in Greencastle of one hundred and seventeen over the vote of 1892 in the presidential election and a gain of nearly two hundred over the last city election. The republicans of Greencastle are heartily tired of having their party matters sent from here in such a slip-shod and unreliable, and in many eases like the above, untruthful manner. The Journal's correspondent should either send the republican news to that paper right or not at all. The party managers here would much rather have had the article above not appear at all. Even the Sentinel had a more correct report and the majorities and ticket were sent by correspendents to Cincinnati and Chicago papers. The Journal needs a representativo here who is in touch with the republican party.
The syndicate editor of the organ and organette seems to keep bis grinders in good control. He prevents both of them from pub lishing those resolutions. It is rumored that this “syndicate” is located somewhere near Chairman Ader's office. Says the Globe-Democrat: We have recommended Wilson bill as a great smoke consumer. It is also entitled to consideration as a firstclass fire-extinguisher. It has worked wonders in Pennsylvania in abolishing smoke and extinguishing fires. It can be traced through all of that state in clean chimneys and tireless furnaces. Hicks’ weather guess tor this month says of the 10th : “About the lOtli barometers and thermomters in all western extremes will begin to respond to subtle storm
That republican platform worries the democratic papers terribly. In its zeal to get away from the republican county resolutions' clear exposition of democtatic incompetency the Democrat still overlooks that important document and seeks to pick a tlaw in the convention by stating that J. C. Hollick, one of the delegates appointed, was sidetracked and placed in a wrong delegation. Let’s see about this. The Democrat representative attended the convention, sat clear through its sessions and in writing up his report placed the name of Mr. Hollick in exactly the same place as did the secretaries of the convention, and that was in the jointrepresentative list. The Democrat's files, which it would have people believe are always right, show this to be true. Now the question is, was the Democrat's report of the

convention delegates correct or is its silly tale ot woe to be believed? We fear that paper got its head turned in the great republican roar of April 14, and is now trying to straighten its befuddled ideas. The secretaries’ reports show J. C. Hollick's name on the joint representative list of delegates and not on the congressional, and the Democrat's report is identical with the secretaries. as was that of the Banner Times. The Democrat is thus kicking against itself in trying to correct itself. Tuesday's republican victory in Greencastle means more than the mere election of seven candidates. It means more than a largely increased majority. It is the advance guard of success in count}' and state, and the desperate efforts of dem’ocracy to counteract the tide which has set in against them show that the enemy is alert to its interests. Over-confidence led many republicans to leave the city, as their business called them, and the repub'ican managers decided to fight the battle through without them. The result is a magnificent majority, that Greencastle can now hold up to the out townships as a mark to fight for in the fall elections. A gain of one hundred and seventeen votes is a remarkable achievement, even for this year of republican gains, and the republicans of Greencastle may well congratulate themselves over the result. The sole aim of democracy was to defeat Mr. Abrams in the first ward and to hold down the majority over town. They failed signally in both cases, and their chagrin is great. Republicans all over the county should take courage at the outcome, organize ani^., work for results. They can get them. The city elections over Indiana are almost universally in favor of republicanism. Never in the history of the state have such landslides been known, many cities going republican for the first time in their history. The Indiana cities spoke for republican prosperity, but the country people will have to content themselves till November, when they will be given a chance. The Indianapolis Sentinel says: “Just wait till November.” The Sentinel can judge from yesterday’s elections about how the November election will turn down democracy. Yesterday was but a foretaste. A gain of one hundred and seventeen in majority in Greencastle is the happiest political hit of this season hereabouts. After Cooper'd Sealp. There is danger in this district impending against the renomina tion of Congressman Cooper. Several democrats from this district met at Gosport last Thursday and, concerning that meeting. * democrat said to the Bloom.mgi.on Tele//hone: “Six countie* were represented. Political matters were thoroughly discussed by leading democrats, whose object it was to agree upon some democrat who can carry tbe Fifth congressional district. It can be announced on authority that Judge Robinson, of Owen county, will lie an active candidate and Mr. < 'olevmier, of Bartholomew county, will divide that delegation with Mr. Cooper. Judge Cunning, of our own county, is als 1 in the race and ought, as a matter of course, receive the solid support of his home delegation, being an active party worker and the only congressional candidate from this county. I’lte wil y Col. Matson is quietly, but effectively, carrying on a secret canvass of the district for the nomination, in ••ase of Mr. (,’ooper’s refusal to enter the race, of which there is now some question. It is further stated that many of Mr. Cooper’s friends are advising him to stay out of the race. Amongthe delegates present at the meeting were some of Mr. Cooper’s personal friends, who feel confident that if George is nominated he will suffer defeat.” Mr. Hanna In tli* Eight. Indianapolis, April 28. Editor Banner Times: Allow me, through the columns of your valuable paper, to extend to the republicans of Putnam county my grateful acknowledgements of their earnest effoits to secure my nomination for attorney general. Although unsuccessful in my behalf, a good ticket was nomi nated. I am in the fight, as every good republican of Putnam county should lie, until the ticket is finally elected next November, and you must see to it that Putnam county is redeemed from the oppressive hand of democracy. My services may be commanded in that behalf. Sincerely yours. Thomas Hanna.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Importunt Kvrnt* ut Hit- Capital.—Ths Latent New.. Washington, April 3(1, 1S94. Senatoi Hale very cleverly smoked the democrats out and compelled Sena- I tor Harris, of Term., who is in charge | of tlie democratic side of the senate, to acknowledge that he and the rest of the den ocrats. except tlm-e who are dickering with the democratic “kickers,” were ignorant of what concession had been made or would t>e made, but were prepared to go it blind on the reconstructed tarifi bill, whether it agreed with their sentiuieuts or not. Was not that a remarkable confession to be made by the whilom leader of the majority of the senate? Commenting on the statement published that the democratic leaders were becoming more cheerful over tlie outlook, Mr. Hale said: “Cheerful. Mr. President, cheerful when bargaining and selling is going on instead of honest tarifi' legislation. Cheerful when jugglery and skullduggery take the place of open discussion, cheerful when it is the cheerfulness of a dying man, when decomposition has already set in and numbed his facul-
ties.
No description could possibly do justice to present disgraceful attitude of the democratic senators. They have refused to grant hearings to honest working men and women who have come here to protest against the bread being taken from their mouths by vicious legislation, and they are today on their knees, not granting hearings, hut taking and obeying, absolutely without question, the orders of the millionaire trusts, as to changes to lie made in the tariff hill. Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are up to their necks in this filth, while those democratic senators who are always ready to obey the crack of the party whip are being kept in ignorance of what is going on; they have only to be told that a hill is .1 party measure to support it, no matter what its nature may be. Surely the workingmen will have a long score to settle witli the democratic party. A warning to newspaper publishers against lending their names and infiuqjijee to he used in a business of which they know nothing and which they cannot control, is contained in a hill filed in court by William it. Hearst, publisher of tiie Sun Francisco Examiner, against John Wedderburn, manager of the Press Claims Company and the Era miner Claims Bureau, of Washington, asking for the appointment of a receiver. Mr. Hearst says he was a partner of Wedderburn’s in the Examiner Claims Bureau and that Wedderburn was under their contract to furnish the capital and manage the business. He charges Wedderburn with organizing and maintaining the Press Claims Company with money belonging to the Examiner Bureau : with other misappropriation of funds, including the proceeds of a note for 000 signed by the firm name without authority; with creating a large indebtedness; with refusing to return money in accordance with contracts with certain subscribers of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Omaha Pee, and with injuring the reputation of the San Francisco Examiner hy general management and by advertising to give prizes for inventions. Senator Quay’s friends are uneasy about his condition. His health has not been good for a year or two. but it was not until recently that he begun to show signs of a permanent break down. His absence just at this time is very much felt by his republic in colleagues in the senate, aside from the feeling of esteem for him which makes his absence at any time a matter of general regret. The Coxey camp was visited yesterdav by a large number of curiously inclined Washingtonian', and great \vntne surprise of many to find such an insignificant collection of filthy and woebegone humanity dubbed an army. It is doubtful if leu per cent of the several hundred men com posing the army could he prevailed upon, no matter how great the inducement offered, to take a regular job of work. The other nine-tenths are made up of professional tramps, cranks and fakirs. Coxey and Brown, who, hy the way, have lidden and been well fed and housed during the march, are apparently out for the money that can he made out of the free advertisement their couneetion with the movement has given them. If all of those men are allowed to occupy seats in the house and senate galleries there will have to he a general housecleaning before the seats are again in condition to he occupied, as some of the men are covered with vermin. Leather 111 An Divorce Cane C'oraproinUefl. The divorce suit between Dr. J. R. Leatberman and his wife, Mrs. Lucy Leatberman has been satisfactorily compromised in the circuit court and will not be tried. The terms of settlement as gix'en the Banner Times by one of the attorneys are as follow®: The plain tiff pays the defendant $3000, onethird in cash, and tiie balance when his property is sold; he also pays her attorney's fees and settles an annuity of five dollars per week on their only child Reggie; and in return he is given an absolute divorce. The property on Washington street and College avenue is deeded to Q. Broadstreet as trustee to be sold at his option.

Then 1 read ot the dotn's of Coxey, And what Kelley and Fry had done. Then 1 tried to thid one step by congress. And, friends, I found not one. Then I happened to see a picture That’s been the theme for mam a song: 'Twas the eagle screaming defiance. And bearing our banners along. Below it I found the ticket; The county ticket, i mean. And I couldn't keep from a-thinkin' 'Twas the best I had ever seen. I'd like mighty well to tell you YVlmt good things could be said. But some of them “roosters" 'ud read it And lose what sense they had. But this much I will tell you.

gest the Democrat take two reporters to the next republican convention it attends. It's all at sea on those delegates, and this is the second bobble it has made. We would further advise it to get acquainted witli tiie colored people of the city before it makes such a show of being their friend. The Democrat is displaying consider al V able bodied assininity t n this delegate question, and its head is surely “side-tracked.” It’s next question will be, “where was I at" when I attended that large republican convention?
