until they summon enough courng«' to go the other half and declare themselves republicans. I want them to go, understanding that they go never to return until they come back in sackcloth and ashes.” This Weaverite who assumes to he the Jupiter of the democratic party, sending its old leaders to the shades of remorse and oblivion, is William J. Bryan. The many sound money democrats in Putnam who believe in the party of their fathers do not relish such statements from a bolter like Bryan and will therefore put the stamp of condemnation on such an exiiibition of gall.
Mur© Sentinel Falsehoodfi.
On Sunday the Indianapolis Sentinel perpetrated another of its political tricks that does an injustice in this case to Putnam county people. In glowing headlines it said : ‘‘Whole family converted : The Pockridge's of Putnam county for silver: They are men of large interests in that county: A. L. Lock ridge is the manager of the Putnam county milk company: Heretofore the}' have voted the re-

Boikke Cockkan received an ovation at Indianapolis on Saturday night. He took the wind out of a silverite who put a question at him “what kind of a speech did Cockran make in 1802?” The answer came from the gallant Irishman who said “The same kind of a speech he is making now—a democratic speech.” There was no more questioning.

The Banner Times’ pungent criticism of Putnam county affairs, its throwing on of the liglit in Putnam's nooks, the bringing out of the indebtedness of the county and tin* issuing of bonds in time of peace and that expert’s soft soap deal has brought the democratic papers buzzing about our ears at a lively rate. The Banner Times enjoys nothing better than a political battle, and in the present struggle this paper lias the right position without doubt. Any stirring up of the dark records of Putnam county always brings out all the billingsgate of the court house gang and its organ grinders, and the Bannek Times needs no better evidence that its efforts are bearing fruit than the manner in which the ring and its henchmen are taking their medicine. They don t utt**mpt to deny our charges, but merely howl long and loud. Sil-
ence gives consent and until the world, democratic papeis state that bonds power
are not out against
important offices so far as its financial
interests are concerned.
That is what the Democrat said in its eulogy and it sought to eorvey the idea then that these experts had examined all the hooks of the two offices to see if anything was duo from anyone. It then wilfully made a false impression because there was a clause in the contract with Expert Hunter that prevented him examining the accounts of any officer or ex-officer, which would have invalidated his whole contract had he so violated it. The people were neatly buncoed by the democratic papers at the time ns no examination was made other than ascertaining if there was any money due the county from the state. That was all. Here is the clause that prevented an expert examination of officers or ex-officers’ books, a clause which the democratic pa-
pers have totally ignored :
But be it understood that this proposition does not include the examination of the accounts of the officers or exofficers of the county with a view of ascertaining whether or not there is anything due from them to the county. And the Star /‘rcss also sprung its columns in fulsome praise of that investigation but it said not a work about the above saving clause which printing an examination of the officers and ex officers books. The Star Press made an attempt at printing the con tract but wisely let out the all important clause. The Star Press said the contract was in effect as
follows:
hardly necessary to refer to the interview, but in what it says of Mr. K Z. Lockridge it makes an other direct misrepresentation when it says: “R. Z Lockridge, who is 69 years old and has voted the republican ticket ever since the republican party came into existence is also a convert to silver.” Mr. Lockridge, as bis friends state, has not for a long number of years affiliated with the republican party. They state he has been a greenbacker and of late years a prohibitionist. This is merely mentioned to show to what straits democratic papers of the irresponsible ilk of the Sentinel will go.

There it stopped, just at the beginning of the important part of the contract. Was it afraid to print that clause or not?

business will be in in case Bryan is elected. Manufacturers can already see the terrible condition of things. Think of manufacturers of bicycles giving orders for material conditionally, when for the last two or three years they have been unable to make one half of what they had orders for, and this too during the hard free trade times that we have had. The hi cycle business has been such a great industry that even during hard democratic times manufacturers could not get material fast enough, and from above we can see that manufacturers expect times to be twice as bard as they have been in case Bryan is elected.
The sophomores elected the following officers Saturday afternoon: Chas. Beard, president; Miss McDougal, secretary; Miss Hawkins, treasurer; Ray Haynes, athletic manager, and Miss Bacon, chaplain. A new constitution was adopted. Harry Patterson, formerly left- | laekle of the Wabash loot ball team
