It is now a safe wager that Watson will get Sewall’s scalp. Bynlm is at present the only democratic stale chairman in good standing in Indiana.

Neithku of the democratic pap ers of Putnam has defended the course of the county commissioners in their action in apportioning the county into road districts, nor neither of them has explained why each commissioner happened to get his own district in which to hire men. The districts should he apportioned by lot. Putnam’s democratic commissioners do business about as they please without regard to the road statute. The organette’s handbill is getting ready to drop. It expects OO,000 republican majority in Maine next Monday. And Boy Orator Bryan has been up there working with his mouth! The handbill evidently hasn’t much faith in Bryan’s jaworatory. The free silver hand hill yesterday’ tried to torture an interview with E. W. Harleman into a demo cratic piece o( thunder. The article as it appeared in the hand bill was headed “Some Truths about Mexico.” What the handbill attributed to Mr. Harleman were not used by him and the Banner Times which interviewed him at the same time printed what Mr. Harleman did say. The hand bill says that

Mr. Harleman said that the climate of Mexico is unfavorable to great expansion. He said nothing of the kind. He said the climate was very fine and attracted many people. The democratic papers are very anxious to try to bolster up the fizzle made by’ Burris at the court house recently and will not hesitate to distort any one’s language to gain a point. The Banner Times printed what Mr. Harleman said and printed it fairly. He said that he could make a profit of 47 cents on every dollar he took to the mint in free coinage and the hand bill never said a word about that.

Democrats, who are democrats for democracy’s sake, will find it very profitable to carefully consider the stand taken by the Hon. Bourke Cockran, of New York. His position is unselfish, dignified and logical. As Mr. Cockran has a goodly 7 following tuning our local democrats we herewith reproduce his exact words: “My Dear Sir—I am deeply sensible of the compliment which you have paid me in asking me to become a candidate for congress in the Twelfth district. I have not the slightest doubt that any person who may be nominated by the republican convention and indorsed by tlie sound-money democrats will be elected by a decisive majority, but 1 am nevertheless constrained to decline the invitation which you have offered me. “The assault led by Mr. Bryan on American honor and industry is fraught with such danger that I shall vote for Major McKinley as the most effective method by which 1 can aid in preventing its success. I could not, however, accept any nomination during the campaign or an election, or appointment after the campaign to any office, however exalted, for which I would be indebted to the political organization whose candidate I am compelled to support by the exigencies of a grave national peril, but to whose distinctive principles 1 am opposed. “While the democratic organization remains a party to the populistic conspiracy against wages I shall labor untiringly for its defeat, but I will not consent to profit by its overthrow. “The faithless leaders who have betrayed the democratic convention to the populists deserve a crushing rebuke at the polls, and I am anxious to join in administering it to them, hut 1 am resolved to share the exclusion from office which I shall urge the people to impose upon my party. 1 shall continue to maintain an uncompromising onposition toTillmanism and Rryanism until the end of the campaign, but 1 can accept no other reward for such a course than the feeling that I will he expiating in some degree tbe follies and excesses or the party to whose success I have contributed in the past, but whose strength has become a menace to the peace and prosperity of the country. Your obedient servant, “W. Bourke Cockran.”

It is not often that this paper calls advance attention to a democratic speaking but it hopes that those who heard Dr. A. H. Moore’s excellent speech last Saturday will go out and hear his opponent John H. James tomorrow. Democratic papers will, of course, say that James did him up, etc., but the way to get at the facts is to hear the two speakers. The Banner Times wants to go on record as not desiring any republican to stay away from the meetings of the op position party, for we have confidence and faith enough in the republican position to know that it will not suffer in comparison to that of any free silver argument. If Mr. James makes a logical defense of the Chicagofied platform he will do more than mortal man has accomplished either in Greencastle or elsewhere. Dr. Moore’s speech will stand long after democratic assertions and beliefs fade in the minds of the public.

THE KANSAS CITY’S

Defeat the Greencastle Team by

a Big Score.

The game of ball yesterday between the Kansas City Blues and the Greencastle team didn’t draw a huge crowd, the entire gate receipts being less than $50. The Blues got a guarantee of $25 and therefore the local management did not clear expenses. Some attribute this to a Jonah. The features of the game were the two home runs made by Ed Eiteljorg, one of which was the longest hit ever made on the ground. Lawrence ran bases with great s kill and cut botli first and second base to third, making it safely. Count Campau bad a chinning match with the bleachers, the kid rooters easily winning in the struggle. The game wasn’t a blooming success in any particular, the score standing 21 to 12. The Kansas Citys presented the following team: Nyce, shortstop; Mennefee, centerfield ; Beauford, catcher; Klusman, first base; Watkins, second base; Hatfield, third base; Campau, left field; McVickcr, right field ; Wayne, Pitcher. The Greencastle’s the following: Brown, shortstop; Seville, catcher; Lawrence, first base; Eiteljorg, centerfield; Bennett, left field; Matson, third base; Callahan, second base; Pulse, pitcher; Conklin, right field; umpire, Will Harris. Beville is from Indianapolis, Brown formerly of Brazil and Lawrence is from Plainfield. The following is the score by innings: K. C.—4 I) 2 5 5 1 1 0—21. G. C.—1 0 0 5 2 0 4 0—12. The fool policy in Putnam county of placing an outrageously high valuation on fanner’s lands and then placing a low rate on the same has an effect that virtually robs Putnam to the benefit of the state of Indiana. The state tax rate is fixed and it falls on every count}' alike. It a county has a higher valuation than it should{|have it pays a larger state tax in proportion than it should with a lower valuation. Putnam’s low tax rate looks well on paper but it is a decidedly dangerous thing in its effects as combined with a high valuation of lands. And still the popocratssay that land is declining in value every year.

One difference between the Vermont and Maine elections and that of Arkansas is that those of the New England states are honest and fair; that that of Arkansas was dishonest no sensible man disputes. That is the reason the result in Vermont is significant and that of Arkansas isn't.

There is a general desire among republicans that Chairman Colliver keep Mr. Shonkwiler on the stump. “Shonk” is making republican votes more rapidly than any other agency.

The county clerk’s office was for merly worth $4,500 per year; the auditor’s office about as much or more: the recorder’s office $2,500 to $3,000 and the slienff’s office about the same. The treasurer also pulled off fat fees. Now the clerk’B office is cut to $2250 per year, the auditor to $2400, recorder to $1400, sheriff to $2100 and treasurer to $2000. All money over and above those amounts which formerly went into the county officers’ pockets now goes into the general fund of Putnam county. This has been done ever since the fee and I salary law went into effect hut | there has been no decrease in taxes. I Voters should find where this large! sum of money is going and see why I it is not reducing taxation. The best eotfi'e at .‘50 cts. a pound at W. A. Howe’s. It.

Boils

It is often difficult to convince ]>eople their blood is impure, until dreadful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrofula or salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when-

ever there is any indication of Impure

blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and prevent such eruptions and suffering. "1 had a dreadlul carbuncle abacesB, red, Aery, fierce and sore. The doctor attended me over seven weeks. When the abscess broke, the pains were terrible,and I thought I should not live through it. I hoard and read so much about Hood’s (Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and my husband, who was suffering with boils, took it also. It soon purified our

JACKSON AND WALLING*

DKPAUYV UNIVERSITY

They ll. giu to »>•! the Close Confinement of their Cells. Cincinnati Post. Turnkey Maurer, of the Covington jail, discovered that Walling had given the saws found in his cell a trial through a lacerated place on the murderer’s hand. When Maurer spoke of it to Walling the latter said that the turn key’s little dog had bitten him. The torn place is, however, not such as would he made by a dog’s teeth, and Maurer set about to lo cate the spot where Walling had been at work with the saw. He discovered a slight mark on one of the iron liars of the jail, and this led to the further discovery that Walling had, by means of a candle wick attempted to reduce the temper of the iron bars so that they would yield to the teeth of the

saws.

Thursday morning Scott Jackson. galling under his close coniine ment, accused Walling of having concealed the two saws that have not yet been recovered by the jail officials. “Why don’t you give them up?” he asked his associate, “so that we may again enjoy the freedom of the corridor, instead of being kept all the time locked in our cells?” Walling still insists that the missing saws were shoved, through the drain holes in the sink and into the sewer. Jailer Weighaus and his turnkeys refuse to believe the story, however, and declare that the prisoners shall not get out of their ceils for a minute until the saws are produced. The officials feel that with each hour they are coming closer to the parties who passed the revolver and saws to be used in the attempted escape into the jail. The authorities have directed their attention to a close relative of Walling in their search for the party who passed the latter's revolver into the jail. The weapon is the one owned by Walling previous to his arrest, and it has all along been suspected that someone close to him had something to do with its getting into the jail. A relative visited Walling in the jail some days ago. He was admitted to the corridor, and the prisoner and relative repaired to one corner and held a low conversation. One of the jail officials was at the time engaged in conversation at the other end of the corridor by Jackson. mew Men on Trial. Ijifayette Courier. The every evening practice of the football candidates at Purdue is developing some excellent material, and it may be said in advance that the team of ’90 will be the liveliest the college lias ever had. There will be all sorts of vim and vigor in it. for there will not be quite so much beef. The teams which defeated Purdue last year were lighter, but oh, how much quicker. Dr. Hammond will this year have lighter, yet strong men, on the team, and he is teaching them more up-to-date football in a day than they ever knew before. A new candidate for tackle is Wagner, a stocky, athletic man, while Williams, last year’s left half-back at Beloit, is to try for Buschman's ; place. He is a power, too. The ! men are all showing up wonder1 fully quick and agile. Wabash [college is again trying to get tojgether a team which will sweep the state. Poor Wabash! De Pauw is doing more loud talking than ever, but there is no doubt | she will have abetter team than before. Purdue plays DePauw in Indianapolis this season. The big western teams are easting* half j fearsome eyes at Purdue again, ‘recognizing in Hammond a star

coach.

It is entirely meet that*Eugene [ Debs should bob up in this mess of [repudiation and anti-supreme court j movement inaugurated by tbe (Jhiieagofied branch of democracy. The | thing would have been incomplete ! without Debs.
