knowledge a debt of $12,000. Now they claim they can pay that oil with the coming installment of taxes. These papers are again at variance with the commissioners. At the last session of the board the county commissioners could not pay interest on the county debt. They asked holders of bonds to wait until November to get their interest. This is a matter of fact and is ascertained through the fact that there is one republican com missioner on the board. It was also estimated at that time by the entire board of commissioners that the funds coming in in November would just about even up running expenses, would not wipe out an\ debt, but merely take care of in teresc and other smaller claims. People have been lied to so systematically by democratic ollicCrs about these financial matters that they will he loth to believe that the enormous debt can be met by a small collection of taxes, as th ■ tieasury was so low in September that even interest charges could

Mb. Gkifittus spoke of Bryan as “His Frequency of Nebraska.”

Wm have not certain gravel road bonds of the county been paid off? The money has been paid in by taxpayers.

The county debt lias been in creased by the employment of an army of deputy sheriffs on Bryan day. Remember that this week gentlemen, when you pay your taxes.

Democratic papers are asserting that all the obligations of the county will be paid with the Novenib -r installment of taxes. Why should Putnam people believe such twaddle. These sauu democratic papers asserted there was no county debt. They were smoked out of their position and compelled to ac-

see the facts and the Ban nek Times has given them the truth. If they doubt any statement made by the speakers at the comt house on Oct. 20, till these democratic readers have to do is to take the Bannkp, Times to the county records and ascertain for themselves.

The stand taken for sound money by Hon. Geo. W. Cooper, is a home shot at Putnam democracy. Mr. Cooper spoke at F.nglishs opera house, Indianapolis, Saturday night. Among the many things he said were the following: ‘‘When Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated president of the United States, he announced in his inaugural address some fundamental theories of government, which by common consent have ever since been considered as cardinal principles of the democratic party. Among these may he found the following: “Peace, commerce mid honest friendship with all nations.” “Economy m the public expenses, that labor may be lightly burdened.” “The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith,” “The preservation of the general government in iis whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad.” “These I regard as essential principles of democracy, and yet every one of them is contravened, if not in language, at least of the Chicago, ami the St. Louis populist platforms. Against these wholesome and sound doctrines the candidates of the Chicago and St. Louis platforms have transgressed: First—By endeavoring to excite tin* passions of our people against foreign nations without any just provocation. Second—They have proposed, in violation of tiie doctrines of economy and simplicity in government, wild schemes for b.lying and operating railroads and telegraphs and for improvements of rivers and harbors and the construction of canals as an excuse for the use of tiat money. Third—They have advocated a system of finance which would result at least in a partial repudiation of debts, both public and private, which would inevitably result in the violation of the public faith and honor. Fourth—They have pledged themselves to a limitation upon the power of the general government which if maintained, would rob it of its dignity and leave it almost as helpless and as pitiful as it was under the federation. If these things are true that party lias no claims upon the stillages of the followers of Thomas Jefferson; and they have no right to the organization or tiie name of democracy.

Taxpayers are making life slow for the court house gang this week. Nearly every man who lays down his hard earned money on the treas urer's desk either thinks silently or out loud that part of it goes to pay for the mistakes aud mismanagement of the court house gang.

The county attorney is “authority” for the statement that the

of the office for which the nuditor is not entitled to any additional pay. How then can the countv commissioners find any excuse for paying out $1550.00 Co" nothing. Neither has any democrat, or democratic p iper, or democratic oLicial. shown where ;;; y of this money had been refunded to the county by the officials ‘hat got it. If an} - such thing has been done, no record has been found showing it. Why has a democratic hoard let Ibis go without requiring the money to be refunded? It will not do to say it was paid by mistake, and could not be recovered back. Kvery lawyer knows better. If the county commissioners had made the demand in time, eve v dollar o r it could have heen recovered, and the only reason that the county has lost fifteen hundred and fifty dollars, is be cause her county commissioners did not demand that the money should he paid back. Is it possible that the tax payers of Putnam county will submit to such gross negligence and carlessness and continue in power a ring that will, through ignorance or carelessness, or favorism allow and pay out $1550.00 of the peoples money illegally. and then make no attempt

to get it back in any way.

Neither have any oi the democrats or demociatic papers given any good reason why they have not followed the law, and permitted the taxpayers and laborers along the line of the free gravel roads to work out the repair taxes amounting to $14,4(32, but instead, have giver the work out to pets, favorites and heelers. Who gives the county commissioners of Putnam county authority to over ride the laws of the state of Indiana, and say that they will not gire effect to them, if tiiey fail to meet the approval of this autocratic board? Why lias not tins wise board appointed a superintendent as the law provides, and opened up a set of books and audited the accounts in the manner pointed out by the statute? Simply because they wauled to give

wo-k out to their pets and

with its life long principles wrecked and ruined by sueli a mixed up crowd as is now in charge of the silver branch of the Chicagolied democracy. There are a large number of sound money democrats in this county and they are to iia\e sound meet nigs this week. At Bainhndge Thursday night, Oct. 2‘>, Hon. John T. Dye, of Indianapolis, one of the leading sound money democrats in the state will address the people and on Friday night, Oct. 29, ne will spnk at Ruachdale. ’ Mr. Dye will make a speeth that will be in line with that ofJudge Robinson and that is saying a great deal. Don’t forget the dates.

favorites. The democratic party in this campaign pretends to be the friend of the poor man, ami yet here is $11,4112 worth of work that ought to go to the laborers of Putnam county, for the statutes so provide, and yet this democratic board will not. let them have it. but gives it out to their favorites and pets. Jt appears that the count, attorney says that the commissio.rers don’t want to pay out $2 per day to the three superintendents and prefer to do the superintending themselves, but as ttie commissioners get $3 50 per day each what a wonderful saving there will be What fine financiering it is to pay out $10.50 to save $15. The laboring men of the county have been robbed of $14,4(32 worth of work by our county commissioners when the law expressly provides that they shall have it. These nee hard times and the laborers need this work to feed and clothe their families. It is their just due, but our autocratic board denies it to them, and gives them a stone. Will they continue such a ring in power

any longer?

Tiie Popular Speaker Han Two Tremeii-

clou* Audiences in Putnnin

lion. John L. Grilfiths of Indi anapolis, spoke to two great t r.>wds in Putnam on Saturday. At (Mo verdnle he hail tin* largest crowd of the season and met with a splendid reception. This meeting and the night meeting are reported ns follows by our (Moverdnle corres

pondent as fo’lows:

Saturday was a red letter repuliliean •lay in old (Moverdnle. There was an old fashioned rally. Early in the day most ail tiie business boo es and a 1111111b**r of dwellings were handsomely decorated with flag- anil pictures of McKinley. By nine o'clock the people began pouring into town. Just before noon a procession was formed jii*i south of town which coo-i-ied of ihree glee clubs, three drum corps and a brass bund, all io handsomely ornamented wagons; -ox young ladies on horse hack dressed in red. wlii’e and blue. This was one of the p*ettiest features of the parade. Behind these followed the buggies, ea riages, wagons and men on noi fc-baek. MMie parade moved north on Lafayette street, south on west Main and north on Main and halted at tin* opera house. At one o’clock the opera ball began to fill and by 1 :30 that building contained more people than were ever before within its walls, 800 people being present. The meeting was called to order and tiie Alaska glee club sang some of its most stirring songs, after w hich Hon. B. F. Corwin of (;reencastle, spoke about thirty minutes on county matters. He made a telling speech and showed up in its true light the indebtedness of Putnam county. Hon. John L. Griffiths was next introduced, lie presented in detail all the important matters connected with the present issues in a forcible energetic candid wav that no one could misiiiiderstand, and fail to set* the importan re of defeating the free silver candidate. The very best of order prevailed in tne hall and the large intelligent audience seemed to he spellbound and were eager to catch every word and all expressed themselves greatly pleased. The meeting was a grand success Mr. Grill'dh was applauded many times during the speech, and at the close three rousing cheers were given for McKinley, state and county tickets. Not over one half the people could get into the opera house and during the speaking the stores were all full of people. When Mr. Griffith closed Ids speech the hall was just as full as when he began. The crowd was the biggest that there I1111 been in ( ioverdale for a long time. The Glee clubs and drum corps were all good. In the evening tin* meeting was continued. Mr. 1 . T. Peek spoke on county matte s. Mr. Peek sunimcd up the financial system of the county and showed that there was soir.etliing wrong somewhere. He advised the people to ascertain f ir themselves from Hi'! records the t'-ue couili.’ou of atlairs. M’his speech was a telli ig one and it was on a subject of great importance his remarks bringing out hearty applause. Majt r Jonalhan Birch was ne v t introduced and spoke i * his honest candid way and with Ids usual energy, lie gave an intedigciu and very satisfactory history of on** tinanval system, showing clearly the evils and great danger in the adopt on of free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 lo 1, staling, however, that tiie question is already decided by the largest majority in favor of our present money system. lie showed from democratic authority—the Indianapolis Sc/itiiicl—thut all good thinking and well informed democrats were opposed to free silver. The major’s speech was well received and lots of republicans wno heard him p-onounce it one of the best speeches made here. He paid especial attenliou to the Chicago platform in tiie true light, and showed the attacks it made upon the

■

courts There was no drunken nn here during the day and no disorder. Our men are all sober and iiultistriou and this the temperance town of the county. The republicans are awake 111 (Uoverdalc township and have dom* lots of good work and its effect Will he felt. At the opera house in this cityon Saturday evening the meeting was in tue hands of the students. At 7:.'!() o’clock they formed a parade with the Silver Leaf at their head and escorted Mr. Griffiths from the Belnap to the opera house. Never lias the opera house been packed as it was at this meeting. The chairs, aisles, galleries and stage were full of peop'e, the front rowt of chairs being reserved for the students. They gave their yells, sang songs and indulged in other pleasantries, one of theiryells being compose 1 especially for the speaker. Mr. Grittiths made a speech of over an hour in which lit* held the audience spellbound. There was no confusion, no one went out, and scores who were unable to get in the hail packed the vestibub and stairways to hear his words. Mr. Griffiths is a favorite orator here and his points were greeted with rounds of applause. His speech was logical, convincing and full of facts. His appeal to patriotism was the finest heard
