Ik Putnam atfaira the democratic commissioners believe in borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. It has j been represented and in past years shown by democratic papers that bonds have been paid otf and a ilourish of trumpets made to at tempt to prove that the county was paying its debts. It developed at the late session of commissioners that bum s hud been paid off hut that money was borrowed to pay the bonds anti no.es made to secure loans of about $7,000. Now, will the local democratic papers please explain to many inquirers, democratic as well as republican, if this loan on these no.es was adverl'sed

of money sent in annually from Putnam county, the state auditor has the impression that Putnam county is the richest and most prolific county west of Indian polis. Hendricks county with iG.lfifi acres more territory than Putnam and with an average assessment of $27,93 per acre, paid into the state treasury in 1895, $1,005.50 lex* state taxes than did Putnam.

The leap from Warner Miller to Mike Foley was a tremendous one, but free silver popocracy undertook it.

Two more names have been this week added to the free silver popocrativ galaxy of oratorical stars— Michael Foley and John Clark Kidpath. These go hand-in-hand with “Shonk,” Ilillis and Boyd. The handbill is beginning to get thin skinned under its 1892 record. It now bowls because this paper goes into ancient history. The year of 1892 is not near so ancient as the year 1873, neighbor. Take your medicine. The Star Prexs men!ions the Stoekwell matter again today and asks that Mr. (legate debat* with him. On Sept. 24, 1892, the Star Prexs said : “stopi,well slioulil mnemlter (hut abuse ot County Assessor lilVMil-treet does not palliate or exetise a man who baa been a continuous violator of Jaw for years, in that he tailed to leturn for taxation interest bearim; mortgage notes owned by liini, and that is just what Stoekwell has been guilty of. - ’ That is a prettj strong statement for the Star Prexs to make. Until the Star Press admits that it was wrong about Mr. Stoekwell in 1892 no one will believe its attitude to Mr. Stoekwell now. It is too transparent. It looks now like the lo« ul democratic papers which are grasping at straws will begin publishing history probably both getting their supply from the same source. The “crime of ’73” is the deadest thing in Greencastlc. but since the popo-„ cratic candidate for congress has appeared on the scene it seems that it is now to be the entire burden of democratic supplied editorials. What the people ot Putnam want is facts about county matters. The people know there is nothing in the “’73 M bugaboo or they would have heard of it when Matson and other

Court House-

Michael Foley, the Wabash college boy orator, who has the most severe ease of running off at the mouth of any of the popocrat artists who have been here this season, held forth at the court house lust night. He truly held fourth for about a fourth of lus audience was held to the end. They remained probably because they thought that Chairman Handel would take the lloor at some stage of the meeting and explain some thing about Putnam county’s record. But he didn't. Foley began | by starting bis tongue and then j leaving it and going off to Lorn i bard, Wall ami Threadneedle

1 boy orator presented some ol

of in crest these notes h aw? And if the loan was not openly made in the financial market, why wasn’t it? The people want io know all about county matters. POPOCn.\fTc PAP EPS DO.V'T Sow DENY That iliere are bonds against the county funds of Putnam county. That the leaders of the free sil ver movement in Greeocastle bolted Geo:-re W. Cooper in 1891. That the state draws $58,000 yearly from this county while the county draws but $41,000. That Talbott voted all around the circle on saloon manors. That Farmer did not know why bonds were not paid off when there was a surplus. That there is a saving of $7000 per year to Putnam county in salaries which $7000 they cannot account for. That the county treasury will go “broke” in November. That Stoekwell was in 1892 all that they called him. That they lied about county a‘fairs in 1892 or are lying now. maybe both. That Col. Matson never discovered the crime of 1873 until in

1890.

That Putnam’s state taxes have doubled since 1873, the year it is now claimed a crime was committed. That a silver dollar is legal tender for any amount. In county valuation figures the Star-Press says: Of tin- surrounding: counties. Montgomery's lands are assessed ar $8.45 per acre more than the lands of Putnam; Hendricks’lands are assessed at $7.9.4 an acre more than ours, and Parke’s lands are assessed at $1.22 per acre more than the lands of this county. The Democrat publishes a table of alleged average figures in which it says Putnam’s lands are assessed at $23 per acre and Montgomery’s at $28.15; this would haye a difference of $5.95 instead of $8.45 as the Star Press says. The Democrat also puts Putnam’s average valuation $1.78 per acre higher tbaa Parke while the Star-Press puts it lower by $1.22! Which of these organs is telling the bigger lie on valuation. They should get together or shut up. One or the other is wrong, both probably. The assessors returns on file at the court house show that two citizens of one township on April 1, 189(4, when they swore to their possessions, had the sum of $2,850 iu county bonds. On Sept. 19. 1890, the Democrat said there was not a cent of indebtedness against the county. Will the people believe this assertion of a bide bound party organette or will they believe the sworn statement of two of the most reputable citizens of Putnam county? No wonder people want a change in county affairs when a democratic paper will tell such a bare-faced lie about a matter of public leconl. There is something rotten in Putnam’s management or j papers would not tell such deliberi ate falsehoods nor would ex county officers be tearing their clothes and making tearful appeals to voters not to “bolt.” L One former county official went to a friend who was reported “off"’ and said “My God, don’t leave us now.” Some-

paper said :

the

veriest rot of the season. Foley spoke for three hours and the speech being nothing but a mess of false assertion, the thread of tinargument could be taken up or dropped at any point of the evening. The meeting was presided over by Jamc-s L. Handel, a banker, and alter he had made several announcments and got the tongue started,

The Setiiiud hen was different from what it is now. Now (with an affidavit attachment) it is about the only source of consolation the

local popocracy can find.

lx his speech lust uighi, just to tt’ei to the idioiy of lue thing, Mr. Foley said “England was coining counterfeit Mexican dollars and sending them into this country as object lessons to American peo pie.” Let Mr. Fo'ey lake lbs dollars to a jeweler and have them tested. Is tbt re any one in Greent .is,le who bedeves such rubbish? Democrats themselves do Ft believe it as one of tnem so admitted to day. Still such rank assertions as these take their place aloogs’de the other statements of democratic excongressmen, young lawyers, disappointed poluicii.ns and Irstorians, all in one motley array to tty to prove the position of popocracy, and sensible, thinking people are asked to believe the whole mess.

position of a national banker at the bead of a popocratic free silver meeting like that shows the inconsistency of the present free silver campaign in G eeucusUe. Why did Mr. Rondel preside and why is he taking such an interest? He was county auditor for (our years and was deputy nearly all his lite, and he, perhaps, lias run his political course. Why is he so energetic? Is it because he wants io carry Putnam county for the court bouse ring so that tbe books can not be opened? Is be afraid for tbe thirty year record of democ racy in Putnam to come to 1'ght? Why can he sit and hear bis busi ness so soundly abused by ranters like Ilillis, Shonk and Foley, swallow his silver crow and look pleasant if be is not afraid republicans will win in Putnam? Has the presence of one republican commissioner on the county board forced him into the fight? Why this untimely zeal in ex-office holders if there is not something wrong some-

where?

Mr. Handel and Mr. Foley's meet ing will go down into history as one ot the most ludicrous of the many ludicrous th.ngs of the cam

paigo.

The Democrat of today says:

“McKinley has run out of speeches, and his literary secretary is raking his brain to find more material for speeches; and that Bryan'has made thrice as many speeches as McKinley, without any literary sec re ary and without preparation and that be alwavs has a speech on the end of his tongue.” Now, neighbor, almost anv bodv can make the kind of a speech M’. Bryan is making; be can make them without any Drains; be can make all of them
