H. M. Rakukl is running over Putnam county begging people not | to desert the democratic ticket. Mr. Rsmiel is an ex-office holder and lias had a longer and a stronger pull at the public teat in Putnam i than any other man. Mr. Farrow denounced him as a gold hug in 1894, and while Mr. Raudel is ostensibly for free silver now, he, and all the others of the court house ring, are seeking to destroy the populist party in this county. Mr. Farrow plainly states what he and his party thought of democrats in 1894. How can true and consistent populists now have faith in a man or support a party that so roundly abused them two short years ago? President Inhales of the Big Four last night etlectually set at rest the popocratic argument that lie is in favor of coercion. He said he would discharge any man who attempted to coerce his fellow men on account of politics.

Tm: handbill says that the announcement that Bryan would be in Grecncastle electrified the democrat*. The handbill is wrong us usual. What is ‘’electrifying” democrats hereabouts is the eifort of the leaders to raise the money necessary to get Brpan's train to halt here. It will “go through” Grecncastle to the extent of about $200.

Ifi, 1893 the paper was started and from that time to this it has not missed an issue It has steadily kept pace with the times jcl it has given the news of Green“eusUe every day, without a break. It has not shut down for a week at a time “to give the force a rest” like some imitators do. nor has it had to resort to “eight pages” of

DEMOCSA 1 K l.WLXT (IF

PUTS AM POPULISTS IS 1894.

In the Democrat Alexander J. Farrow, of Morton, concludes a long articles in which he advises his populist friends to support the local democratic ticket. His plea again brings to mind recent political history and local newspaper files furnish it. In October, 1894, just previous to the election he sent a challenge to H. M. Randel and George W. Hanna to meet him in joint debate as they were all run ning for the same office. The no tice of challenge was sent to the Star-Press, the Democrat and the B anner Time>. The Banner Times was the only one of the three papers that had the fairness to print the challenge as it was sent in and this fact brought out a scathing re buke of the democratic organs from the pen of Mr. Farrow. The rebuke was a column in length and the Banner Times had the fairness to print that also, as both the democratic papers that year were fighting the pjpulists. calling them names and refusing them representation in their columns. The democratic candidates at that time were lambasting the Putnam populists right and left. The reason Mr. Farrow issued his challenge was as his first sentence in his card in the Banner Times said : “On account of some gross misstatements made by the Hon. H. M. Randel, candidate for representative, in a

speech made at Morton.”

The Banner Times hereupon again produces the deadly parallel on local democrats and in extracts from Mr. Farrow's card to the Banner Times printed Nov. 2, 1894.

Just at this time local political history is valuable, and the Banner Times has a barrel of it constantly on tap. We have all brands, and, just as a gentle reminder to our
