The hand bill should tell the people where the money is going. The commissioners could not pay their bills at the session just closed and staved off payment of interest on bonds and notes until November.

One republican commissioner isn t a bad idea for Putnam county. Mr. Bridges is showing up the fact that the county has been badiy managed just as many people have always thought it was.

Warner Miller, ex-United States senator from the state 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 1:80p.m. Every township ought to organize to be present at that time.

Mr. Bryan seems to be about the only traveling man in the popoeratic party. Tcrpie should have explained why he voted for the repeal of the Sherman purchasing law which provided for the largest use of sil-

* » # “The county owes no debt whatever chargeable to the general funds. Its linanees are m a most satisfactory condition.’’ Both of the above assertions are absolutely false. The Banner Times did net ask why the “saving in the reduction of ollicers salaries was not applied to the payment of gravel road bonds.” We asked why the saving was not applied to the payment of county bonds. And when we said county bonds we meant just what we said. We knew when we made the statement that there were bonds out against the general fund of Putnam county, bonds other than the gravel road bonds. The Democrat may or may not be honest in telling the above lies because the county commissioners themselves did not, until the Banner Times stirred up the question, know where the county’s bonds were and who held them. In saying that the county owes no debt whatever chargeable to the county fund the Democrat either willfully lies or it is as ignorant as some of the county otlicials. For its benefit we will state that there is now standing against the county fund bonds to the amount of $2300, and tf the Democrat wants to know the truth of the matter let it ask President Farmer or Second Fiddle Talbott. Farmer knows where those bonds are and when Mr. Bridges, the courageous and faithful republican member of the hoard asked him why he hadn’t paid otl those general purpose bonds long ago when the county had a surplus, Mr. Farmer said he “didn’t know.” That is a beautiful specimen of ignorance for the president of the county commissioners to show. For the additional benefit of the Democrat we will say that the county is now way behind in its payments and that the November collection of taxes will hardly enable the board to pay its obligations up to that time. After that time the county will have to run for six months on borrowed capital. It will then be paying interest on interest. These are facts •nd they develop through the fact

that the Banner Times intends to show up the rotten management of Putnam county and also through the fact that the republicans now have one member of the county board who proposes to see where goes the money and who holds the county’s obligations both as to gravel road and to the general fund. We will have more to say on this question. The hand bill says: “Hogate lias not responded to Stockwell’s public challenge. Will he?” And again the hand bill says: “If Stockwell gets a crack at Hogate he will get his hide.” We would in reply simply ask—which Stockwell do you refer to Mr. Democrat? Do you mean the Stockwell that in 1892 you called a “political Judas,” “a political prostitute,” and whom your democratic opponent the StarDress called “a tax dodger” and “a law violator.” Is this,the same man you talked of then or is it some other Stockwell? A prominent democrat said to the Banner Times. “You are on the right track in your fight against the outrageous way in which the county s finances are being managed. You are getting on the inside in a good many things but there is a great deal yet that hasn’t developed. I know a good deal about this matter and shall vote against a crowd of incompetent officers, who themselves confess that they don’t know where the indebtedness lies nor who has it, nor what it was contracted for. There are many democrats in Putnam who feel us I do.” The man was right. The hand bill says that every yoter should apprize himself of the rate of taxation in Putnam and then compare it with surrounding counties. The voter should at the same time apprize himself of the high valuation of Putnam's lands and ascertain why he is being robbed by a mismanaging crowd of county officials. These officials hold up a high valuation in this county, which is kept there in order to sustain that low rate, and the state steps in and robs Putnam county by taking out $58,000 every year, just double what the amount was in 1873. Mow why doesn’t the Democrat “explain” away this point? The fanners of Putnam are beginning to see where they are being robbed with Putnam’s “low rate.” Why can’t the hand bill be honest and tell its readers about the high valuation of Putnam's lands. It says nothing of valuation but prates continually about rates. It is the amount of taxes that counts. The hand bill has a tusk before it in trying to outlie the Sentinel but we believe that if it makes many more breaks on local taxes and the geography of Mexico that a unanimous verdict will award it the belt. On county finances the handbill isn t as well posted as its commismissioners which doesn’t speak at all well for its intelligence. Tomorrow’s speaking will be of of special interest. Hon. Charles N. Fowler will speak at 1 :30 o’clock in the afternoon and Congressman J. Frank Hanley in the evening. -Mr. Hanley is one of the best and most popular speakers in Indiana and Mr. Fowler’s is one of the best of Wisconsin's orators. Hear both speeches. One reason Putnam finances are running low is the fact that it has to support both an organ and an organette. They both took a heavy pull at the public crib this week. The Democrat dares not deny Ihut Putnam’s state taxes hi Te doubled since 1873, the year the “crime” was committed. Seems that Putnam county has caught the infection of issuing bonds in “time of peace.” Iteal Kfttatr Transfera. Joseph B Bowen to John P Jones, assignment, land in Jackson township.

Harris, of Indianapolis, addressed a line audience at Bainhridge last evening. Mr. Harris spoke for two hours making substantially the same speech on standards of measurements and values that he made here several weeks ago, which speech was so highly complimented. The address made a profound impression on the audience which was one of the best ever assembled in Bainbridge in point of numbers and intelligence. A heretofore prominent democrat said of the meeting that the people were so interested in the speech that they did not want to lose time to applaud. They listened attentively. A large club was organized at the conclusion of the meeting. George W. Starr was made president; A1 Miller, vice president; Chas. F Smith, secretary; Chae Fyffe, treasurer. Hanley t\ II tun in* r. Hon. J. Frank Hanley was accorded a grand ovation at New Richmond last night, the rally there being one of the greatest ever held in that region. Large delegations were present from every point for miles around and the crowd was simply immense. Mr. Hanley’s magnificent address hold his hearers spellbound and his work did untold good. Mr. Hanley’s meetings in Montgomery county have been gems and his reputation as an orator is now established here.—Crawfordsuille ■Journal, Mr. Hanley will speak in Greencastle tomorrow evening. Hear him. EllM) «t CloverdaU?. Hon. Geo. D. Early, of Richmond, spoke at Cloverdale last evening to a fair sized audience. Mr. Early made a telling point on Mexican matters, which was particularly appropriate, inasmuch as Mr. J. B. Burris had been blundering around reading from the Arena upon two occasions. Mr. Early has been all over Mexico and he easily punctured Burris' story of that country, in fact, he knocked Putnam’s Mexican patriot clear out of the box. Mr. Flarly held the closest attention throughout and his speech was a vote winner. He is doing much good in Putnam. To Cure a Cold In One Hay. Take Laxative Broino Quinine Tablets.
