Democrats believe in partiality; republicans in fairness Democrats chose five out of eight county candidates for office from Greencastle and the other three rrom two townships. Eleven townships have no representation whatever upon their county ticket. The republicans, divided as fairly as possible. Eight townships are represented by eight candidates. The offices are distributed and Greencastle gets but one—all she is entitled to. Voter think of this between now and Novemberl

strances. The burden of their pleading is that Judge McGregor has overruled Commissioner Talbott. That is true, but with due respect to Judge McGregor, we desire to say that the same point in the case has been decided the other way many times, in fact, we believe more times than it has been con stnied in the manner as did our local judge. The question in point is whether a man may remove his name from a remonstrance within the three days’ interval and after it has been tiled with the county auditor. Just as good and ns wise judges as Judge McGregor have held that a man cannot take his name from such a petition. The case has been decided both ways and it seems that very few judges agree on the point. With such a conglomeration of legal decisions before him a commissioner who has the courage of his convictions should have a mind of his own. Six months ago Commissioner Talbott bad to make up his mind when the First ward saloon tight was on. He then hail in view a venomination to the office of county commissioner which office lie is untit to fill because lie lias no judgment of his own. It now looks like he truckled to the temperance vote and influenced enough by his vote on the first decision in remonstrance matters to elect him. People then thought that this commissioner had a mind of his own, and nerve enough to stay with a decision when he made it. Hut he has fooled them. With great alacrity he took the other horn of the dilemma just as soon as he'had a chance. Judge McGregor’s decision is grasped after by this candidate commissioner iike a drowning man clutches a straw. There are a whole bundle of decisions the other way but this candidate for office couldn’t see them in his fluttering around. He how asks the votes of the temperance people of his count)’. Putnam people like to see a man be one way or the other. Commis sioner Farmer has steadily held in favor of granting liquor licensesin this he has been consistent, at least, though we don’t agree with him. Mr. Bridges has been against licenses and he steadily decided in favor of the remonstrants. We agree with both his course and his judgment. He, too, has been consistent. Mr. Talbott has not been consistent. He has fluttered from one side of the case to another and has been inconsistent all through. He acknowledges through the dem ocratic organs that he has no mind of his own, admits it and then goes before the people asking a re-elec-tion. The people of Putnam want a man with a mind—not a man who votes one w’ay one day and the other the next. Until the supreme court decides this Nicholson law a commissioner has as much right to an opinion, in view of the many different decisions rendered, as lias any other man. A man with a m'nd of his own would vote consistently, but then this democratic candidate for re-election doesn’t seem to have a mind. Do the people want him? We think they do —nit.

and take up the tight. We are a trifle modest but can’t help saying that the Banner Times is the best circulated paper in Putnam county. | The people read it and a notice in it that a ealoonist intends applying for a license will go before everybody, and not merely before j one faction of the democratic party. Tb**y will then have an opportunity to say whether or not they want a saloon. Many a saloon applicant’s notice has been overlooked because of obscure pub j lication. We will guarantee wide] ] circulation to such notices and we shall charge just what the law allows us for such. The notice referred to by the democratic papers was read by everybody. The democratic papers fell all over it before the ink was hardly dry, and it brought out a remonstrance that should have been successful and ! would have been but for a detnocratic commissioner who has no

PROBAABLY A MURDER. John Anderson Fearfully Cut by Tom Morgan, Friday. There will, in all probability, b • | a murder case in the Putnam cir cuit court growing out of the cutting of John Anderson bv Thomas Morgan Fridav afternoon southeast of the city. Anderson and Morgan quarrelled over some trivial circumstance and the fight resulted. Morgan cut Anderson in several places but the probably fatal slash was the only serious injury. He was cut on the left side below the stomach. Through the < pening protruded a part of the intestines and lining of the abdomen. The wound is pronounced yery danger ous by Dr. Poole wbo attended Anderson, and he sa) s the wound is apt to cause serious inflammation

of the intestines.

no judgment. The Banner Times has no regret for having published

that notice.

The Democrat, whicli has a lot of legal lore stored in its sanctum, comes out this week and makes a vicious jab at the Banner Times’ legal knowledge. We do not try to be both a lawyer anti an editor at the same time, as the Democrat does, but will say that until the supreme court decides the case at issue on license remonstrance matters no circuit court is authority. Circuit judges all over the state have made ail kinds of decisions on that point and our commissioners know it. If the local circuit court were the court of last resort Mr. Talbott would have a teasonable excuse for changing his mind. As

Morgan, also, was working there and was captured there last night by Policeman Donohue and Robert Glidewell. Morgan evidently did not realize the seriousnesss of the cutting a'd would probably have attempted to escape if he had. After lie was cut Anderson came to Greencastle but stopped at Fox Ridge on his return on account of his weakeued condition. His wounds were sewed up by Drs. Poole and Lammers at the former’s office. Chloroform ivas administered and four hours work was necessary on account of the delicate nature of the surgery needed.

The organ and the oiganette are both having fits of auger becase the Banner Times published a saloon applicant’s legal notice. They lost a chance at a fee and are consequently sore. The Banner Times does not deny publishing Mr. Starr’s notice, and we will publish all that are brought to us. The law is changed from what it used to be. Under the old law an applicant’s notice was a mere form. It gave the people but few opportunities to protest. Now. under a section of the Nicholson law, such a notice gives the people of any ward or township a chance to remonstrate. If such a notice is printed in some obscure spot in a democratic paper of small circulation (no matter whether it uses a “splitter” or not) it is liable to he overlooked by the good people of the county. Now, when there is a chance to defeat an applicant, his notice of intention to apply should be given the widest publicity. This gives the tempetance people an opportunity to put their armor on

cratic press aresiliy. The supreme court in time will give Mr. Talbott a pattern and until it does he should hoe his own row and not hide be hind some other court’s action. Mr. Bridges does nothing of that kind. His is a straight cut position and he holds to it, notwithstanding one or two circuit judges have ruled otherwise. His course may be called stubbornness but it is consistent and manly. Stubbornness is all right when it is

right.

Mothers Anxiously watch declining health of their daughters. So many are cut off by consumption in early years that there is real cause for anxiety. In the early stages, when not beyond the reach of medicine, Hood’s Sarsaparilla will restore the quality and quantity of the blood and thus give good health. Read the following letter: “It is but just to write about my daughter Cora, aged 19. She was completely run down, declining, had that tired feeling, and friends said she would not live over three months. She had a bad Cough and nothing seemed to do her any good. I happened to read about Hood’s Sarsaparilla and had her give it a trial. From the very first dose she began to get better. After taking a few bottles she was completely cured and her health has been the best ever since.” Mrs. Addie Peck, 12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y. “I will say that my mother has not stated my case in as strong words as I would have done. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has truly cured me and I am now well.” Cora Peck, Amaterdam, N. Y.

the day and had been to the creek to water their horses. A conversation came up over a remark that it was alleged Anderson had made and which Morgan had stated Anderson had made. This assertion Anderson denied and the trouble arose over that. Morgan savs that Anderson called him a vile name and they both got off their horses; that Anderson picked up a club and struck at him hut he warded ofl the blow. Morgan continued and said that he had his open knife in his hand cleaning his finger nails and that he made a lunge at Anderson in order to protect himself. Morgan is about nineteen years old and has resided in this county about all his life. He has lived in South Greencastle for several years with his mother, Mrs. Sarah, widow of Thomas Morgan, at 710 Depot street. He has been in trouble before and his name decorates the local police register. He appeared to feel the seriousness of his situation more this morning than last night and anxiously inquired what kind of an affidavit had been made against him. Witnesses put a different light on the fight and Mr. Browning says that Anderson in using a stick was warding off Morgan’s attack. Anderson was in great pain this atternoon.
