oernt is going to use in excusing large republican victories this year it will have its hands full. There is a split in the democratic party everywhere this campaign, and we suggest that the hand bill have its excuse stereotyped. It will need it later on. The Arkansas democratic majority is declining, has caught the inlection and has now slumped oil to 45,000. This is less than 3,000 gain; a gain of about 5 per cent Vermont’s gain was nearly 100 per cent. The democratic papers should hoist another rooster.

Yorlter I'oining to Hear Him.

To the Republicans of Putnam county: The Hon. Warner Miller, ex>United States senator from Uie si ale of New York, will make four speeches in Indiana and we are fortunate to get one of them. He will speak in Greencastle on Fiiday, Sept. 25 at 1:30 p.m. Every township ought to organize to be present at that time. We hope that the committeemen will see that ibis meeting is specially adyeitised at all the meetings between now and then. For this week we have some of the bent talent in Indiana and to these meetings which are advertised in the “Republics i Speakings” column of this paper, we would call your special attention. Every republican is not only invited but urged lo wo'k at whatever his hands tiinl to do from now r nil election. Verv respectfully, C. 15. < *a»k. (Jhruiii. ARim it Tnr.OOP, Sec.

The handbill didn’t getZeiner at all. What’s the matter, neighbor, are you running a daily or an almanac?

The Democrat of this city, which purports in its hand bill edition to run a daily, has since Saturday had an excellent opportunity to publish a piece of news but which it seems disposed to let go by the board. We refer to the free silver democratic nomination for joint senator of Putnam and Hendricks counties of L. A. Stockwell of Clorerdale. Mr. Stockwell was nominated on Saturday in time for the hand bill to mention it that day but it failed; Sunday with all its silence and opportunities for reverie passed and it was thought that by Monday surely the hand bill would catch on; but it didn’t. Monday’s paper let the item glide by. Now, it seems to us that u paper professing to lie a newspaper should at least give tne news of its party. Mr. Stockwell is now loaded down with democratic honors which the local democratic committee’s hand bill refuses to recognize. Is it lack of enterprise, neighbor or is it because that in 1892 you said of Mr. Stockwell in your celebrated two column roast prinetd in 5’our paper of Sept. 17, of that year the following pleasant things: ‘‘Howto oyer reach, get the advantage of. and beat his fellow-man seems to have been the study of his life, and there may he found an exhibition of it iu all his methods and practices.” * * * ‘‘He also fails to meution fae face that he had the contents of the barn insured for a large amount an l that during that night I he building mysteriously took lira and burned to the basement, and that Mr. Sloekwell presented to the insurance company a sworn list of contents, including every old hoe, price of harness, implement, bushel of g'ain, etc., that it eolita'ned. including one hundred ard twenty tons of bay for all of wh'ch (uuilding and contents) he received from the insurance company the large sum of $5,500 in cash.” « # * ‘‘This political Indus.” * * # ‘■This political prostitute's statements.” # # * “This model of political purity.” This man is now the Democrat's candidate for joint senator! It is indeed a bitter dose of crow democracy is eating in order to try to deceive and hoodwink the populist party ot Putnam county.

When the result from Vermont was handed Bryan two weeks ago he had nothing to say. When the result from Maine was handed him Monday night he had nothing to say. It was the same old story. There is nothing at all queer about tills. Mr. Bryan, not being a prolane man, could say nothing, of course. Local democrats who have their heads together are not now worrying about the result in Maine. It is Putnam county that is now worrying them. Republicans will carry Putnam sure, if they stand shoulder to shoulder and wage an unceasing warfare.

The republicans of Greencastle had smiling countenances when the news from Maine came in this morning. A big majority was expected, of course, but 50,000 was a figure that had hardly been looked for. Tbe victory coming with that of Vermont means much. In 1892, the last presidential election the republican plurality was 11,000 now it is 4^ times as much. When states increase their republican majorities over 400 per cent in the face of the most active and bitter campaign ever made, the meaning is great. It means that the people want none of free silver, repudiation, attacks on the supreme court or any of the hodge podge of tbe Chicago popocratic platform. Along with the Maine news is the further cheering information that the Arkansas democratic majority has been greatly magnified and lied about and that it will probably fall to about what it was in 1892, showing no gain at all. Great is republicanism ! The people want none of democracy. It won’t do. Ut-Kard m; St udents. All persons des'ring to board students will please send me a full statement of accommodations offered.

Oar Colored Citizens Organize Itae Liveliest Club of the Campaign. The mayor's office has held larger audiences but has never had a more enthusiastic one than that of Monday evening, when the gallant colored citizens organized for the fray. The seating capacity was all taken and many were standing when John Townsend called the meeting to order. Mr. Townsend made a speech full of patriotism and telling points and proudly referred to the time eight years ago when the colored boys organized and marched to the polls voting solidly for republicanism and success, and elected their man. Upon motion of Wyatt .lames, Mr. Townsend was made temporary chairman, and Eunice Miles, temporary secretary. Speeches were then made by Messrs. Case and Lewis and by a number of the colored brethren in which great enthusiasm was developed. In the permanent organization after a spirited contest the follow ing officers were elected: Jerome Smith president, Henry Bridges vice president. Eunice Miles secretary, Samuel Holbert assistant secretary. An executive committee of five was elected as follows: Enos Townsend, Will McGruder, John Townsend, Ben Hayden and A. Griffith. The name of the club is the McKinley Gold Bug club, and they will meet every Monday night at 7:30 p. m. in the mayor’s office. In order to thoroughly post them selves on issues ten minute speeches will be given by five members, each evening. Those for Monday next are John Townsend. Hiram Collins, Wyatt James, Henry Ricks and Anderson McCoy. The meeting was a shining sue cess and the colored boys were dead in earnest in their desire for better times. They each and every one said they wanted no more such four years as they haye had recently. They stand shoulder to shoulder with their white brothers for prosperity and sound money. The newly elected officers and many of the members of the club made ringing speeches. President Smith used more logic and eloquence than any of the democratic speakers of this campaign have yet shown when he said “we know what the republicans have done; and we know what the democrats have done.” Messrs. Bridges, Holbert and Miles made speeches of acknowledgement and the meeting closed in great cheering. In fact such genuine enthusiasm has never before been seen among the colored citizens of G-eencastle. The enrollment last night was over 40, and everv colored man in the township is invited to join. The Banner Times congratulates the hoys, and its latch-string will always hang out for news from ihe club. OUR C7ST

TURPIN DARNALL SCHOOL.

It€‘union ot ♦ ‘»t* 1’upil*. Full K**poi ^ as Sent tkm Paper* Baixbridge, Sept. 11, ’96.—On last Thursday the pupils of the old Turpin Da mall school, met after a lapse of more than fifty years, on the farm of Alex Breckinridge in Clinton township, and with their friends held a grand reunion. There were more than two hundred people present and the time was spent in speech making and talks by the scholars of the old school, music by a choir of young ladies, and at noon a snlendid dinner waa spread upon the table prepared for the occasion, fifty feet long by four feet wide. The old school house where these old boys and girls attended, was built in 1832, and was located about two miles west of Union Chapel, and jusl south of tbe north Rockville road where now stands a locust grove. Dr. R. P. Newgeut was master of ceremonies, and Anna Ratcliff opened the exercises with a recitation. Then followed speeches and talks by H. C. Darnali, Chas. Newgent, Sanford Sewell, Jacob Rodgers and Leonard Ratcliff. After dinner little Nellie Nutgrass spoke an appropriate declamation prepared for the occasion. This was followed by several other talks by the old folks, telling of their old school days, and comparing their advantages with tim e of the present, and altogether a most highly enjoyable time seemed to be experienced by all The following is a list of those present who attended the old school: Dr. R. I*. Newgentand wife. H. C. and J. F. Darnali, Chas. Newgeut, Clark Hrackney. James anil Sanford Sewell, Leonard Ratclifl'e, Jacob Rogers and wife, A urena Blake, Delphia Williams, Elizabeth McMains, Nancy Dunnington and Louisa McC ay. The ages of these persons ranged from 55 to 76 years, and they reside at present mostly In Parke and Putnam counties, Some of the teachers who taught the old school were Thomas Newgent, Mr. Blackburn, John W. Thomas, Eliza Cbantler, Jeremiah Terry, Alfred Hall and Alex Ramsey. The principal and only formal address of the day was made 111 the afternoon byHon. J. F. Darnali, which was full of reflection upon the past and p'esent of these old men and women. He said: “This meeting today is unique. In all my experience I have never known, nor have I ever read of such a one; a meeting of a remnant of a class or body of particular persons, after the lapse of more than fifty years. 1 he soldiers of the late war have annual reunions, and in this and other countries it is no uncommon thing for associations, classes and families to meet once a year anil enjoy the festivities and friendship of love and affection. When we separated at the old school house fifty years ago, had an astrologer told us that fifty years hence a call would he issued to those still living of our number, to meet on this beautiful ground overlooking the sacred spot dear to the memory of many of us, because it recounts to us the scenesof our childhood anil youth, it would not have awakened a passing notice. Yet, thro’ a kind Proviuence a few of ns are permitted to be here, and let us for a moment, as we take a retrospective view of the past, carry our thoughts hack to the old school house with its quaint style of architecture, and furniture of the most primitive character. I am sure none will forget the old rock chimney and the fire-place half as broad as the house, also a little paddle at the door to te'l whether you were inside or out; the necessary ornamentation of the house that doubtless made the most lasfing impression on some of us, which was procured from a beach tree that stood near the building, probably three quarters of an inch thick where it was cut from the tree, and tapering very beautifully for five feet to a fine point. I suppose in these days of higher education it would lie called a fascinator, but we called it a persuader. Although, however, much we might disagree in the name we who have felt Us magical touch from the hands of a good artist, agree that it made a wonderful, profound and lasting impression To be a little more serious, in those days 1 doubt very much if any of us had a very clear conception of old age. We looked upon men and women that were fifty years old as in the eventide of life and when death removed one of them, whilst we entered as best we could into sympathy for the bereaved, we consoled ourselves with the thought •‘they are old and cannot lie expected to live mui'h longer anyway,” But when we look hack over the past and call up the names of the departed who were near and dear to us, that we thought were old, we are surprised when we see their ages recorued iu the old family bible and on their tombs to find them younger than any of us assembled here today, after a separation of 50 years to talk over the events of childhood and youth. My friends it is a charaeteristic of the American people that they go rushing and blustering through life in pursuit of something they think will make life more enchanting and old age less dreaded and despised. I ask you. is not this a delusion y Is it not the foundation of selfishness, a thing that is a greater curse to the world and civilization than all else beside. A. 1 ideal life is one that is 1 ' d w 1th the cultivation of all the social amenities, possible. By nature v.e are all social beings, each living not alone, bur dependent upouolhi rs. hence it is we are benefltted as we go ftom thence today earring with us new
