The legal luminary of the handbill, who is piqued at not being able as au editor to fill a long felt want and whose paper is roundly damned by democrats because it lias so palpably lied about county atl'airs that the public is recognizing the fact, tries to establish himself as the great “I am” of journalism who writes good and bad editorials! The handbill in its desperation goes into its usual avoeaof lying and charges that

The organette has already spoiled two mediocre lawyers in attempting to make newspaper men of them and they must not think that the entire legal fraternity of the city are going to act the fools and get out of their element. There is something said about the “shoemaker sticking to his last” and this would equally apply to the lawyer-journalists of the handbill. The newspaper profession is one that requires more bard work than any other and we are not surprised that the legal gentlemen who have spent a lifetime preparing for the law Bad that they are out of their element in attempting newspaper work. What the handbill needs is a first-class newspaper man around the shop. It has lawyer-journalists enough

After reading the above extract from the pen of Mr. Bryan it is hardly to be expected that he will get many of the veterans’ votes. A veteran says something of interest elsewhere in this issue on the subject of pen-

While on the senatorship question the handbill should explain the silence of John H. James. It has been openly charged by democrats that he is against Daniel W.

Dan Voorhees has a stronger following among Putnam county democrats than any other democrat in Indiana and they propose show - ing their hand in the coming election.
Democratic bends are develop ing rapidly in Putnam. Will the democratic papers please print the history of Putnam's indebtedness? All other local questions can stand aside temporarily for thif issue.

THAT EXAMINATION How the County Coiiiiuimkioii*th Contracted With an Kxpert. At the September 1895 term the county commissioners contracted with John H. Hunter, an expert of Indianapolis, to examine the county’s books to see it there was any money due the county, but it was expressly stipulated that the record of any county officer should not be looked into. In older to show just what kind of an expert that was the Banner Times herewith prints the agreement between the county and the expert: Mr. Hester said: I will examine the books, vouchers ami settlements of the various officers J your county and ascertain whethei or not there is any money due your cotinly from the state or any other source on account of any error or omission, and in the event 1 find anything due the county I will collect the same without any cost whatever to the county save and except my charges as herein set forth; and for my service 1 will charge you a sum eijii d to one half of all the money collected by me, payment to be made to me as fast as I make collections. Out be it understood that this /imposition does not include the • lamination of the accounts of the officers or offices of the count;/ irith a vine of ascertaining whether or not there is anything due from them to the county. If no collections are made no charge whatever shall he made nor shall said county be involved in any litigation, and it is further understood that this contract does not include the collection of change of venue costs or any other matters pertaining to the clerks office of said county. John H. Henter. The record shows that this was accepted in open court on Sept. 3, 1895, and was signed by Commissioners Hart, Farmer and Talbott, all democrats. We supply the italics above as we desire to make the point plain that the com missioners did not want the books of any office or ex-officer examined and that it was incorporated into the agreement so that the expert would not get into the matter. How different tilings might have been if he had ! And now one of these commissioners, Mr. Talbott, wants to be re-elected. County bonds are springing up ou every hand, no one knows where the indebtedness is and still the commissioners not later than a year ago go on record as not wanting any office or exoflicers record examined. A beautiful spectacle for a candidate foi re-election to hold up before the
public.
DeMPrtiiiK the Oemocratic Ship. The Banner Times is in receipt of a letter that is full of truth and which tells in no uncertain tones that the old veterans generally and the writer in particular will not support Bryan, the hoy orator, who thinks the soldiers display such “remarkable longevity.” The let ter is as follows : Glovkrdai.e. Ind., Sept. 29, ’96. To the Editor of the llanutr lltnee. I served over four years in the late war and have three honorable discharges. I cast my first vote for .Seymour and Blair and have voted the straight democratic ticket ever since. But this year I cannot -land the popo* cratic platform and nominee and 1 can’t see how any comrade can. 1 can’t afford to and will not vote for an issue which if carried out will reduce my pension one-half. Hoke Smith cut my pension from $12 to $8and I do not care to have it reduced again. On November 3, 1896, I expect to vote for protection, prosperity and sound money and for that Grave, patriotic comrade, Major William McKinley. Yours Truly, A. M.Storm. In the language of the handbill, “comment is unnecessary.”
