Democrats are stating at Hoach|5.imi dale and other points that John L.

the republican commis-

sioner, is telling that there is nothing in county indebtedness matters. The statement is 01 course false in every particular. Mr. Bridges knows, as does every other fair minded citizen of this county, that there has been rank mismanageruent in the county’s affairs, and his oflicial position has enabled him to give out much information that has assisted in forcing a statement of indebtedners from the democrats. Mr. Budges believes as do all republicans and many democrats, that the books should

be opened.

Russellville Republican Glee Club Stoned Wedneseay NightWed nesd ay night Hon. B. F. Corwin spoke at Grimes’ school house in Russ-dl township. The house was full of people and Mr. Corwin had gotten well into his speech when Mr. J. R. Whitson suddenly rushed in and announced that the Russellville Glee club had been stoned, A dozen irate republi cans at once followed Mr. Whitson and they gave chase to the culprits but they escaped in a corn field. Mr. Whitson was in the city this morning and was interviewed by the Banneb Times. He said that he was with two ladies in front of the ’bus that contained the glee club. He saw two fellows one of whom yelled tor Bryan. Soon the 'bus arrived and just before it reached the school house, he heard some one cry out in pain. He went back, and ascertained that rocks had been thrown into the ’Inis and then he gaye the alarm at the school house. The outrage was a especially mean one and the cowards who perpetrated it are villans of the deepest dye. Aaron Kinder, aged 17, was struck on the head and Miss Bertha Brumfield

cago platform and the|tcachings of Mr. Bryan who is the champion and chief exponent of these principles are most dangerous to tlie peace, welfare and prosperity of the whole country. They are at variance with every tradition of the democratic party of the past, j at war with the teachings of Jefferson, Jackson, Hendricks and of all tlie hosts of the conservative, thinking and influential democrats of today. Scarcely one democrat of influence and ability can be found in all the hosts of the grand old democratic party to give support to the populistic doctorines of the Chicago platform and party. Why, it is only a year or two since, that it was considered an insult to any respectable democrat, to even suspect or intimate that he held any opinions or sentiments in common with populism. It seems strange, indeed, to me now that any democrat, not a sorehead, could find comfort in those fallacious and pernicious teachings. Is there a democrat in tlie land who would be willing to add immeasurable disaster to the present financial depression and distress? Almost every avenue to prosperity throughout the whole country is now closed but how much more overwhelming the depression and disaster would be in the event of the election of Bryan and a congress in accord with his doctrines, no one can con-

jecture.

The doctrine of free coinage of silver at 1C to 1 and the repudiation of debts both public and private are innocent in effect ami tendencies as compared to the denuncia tion of the chief executive of the nation for the discharge of his sworn duty in the execution of the laws of the union, the doctrine of the denial of the right of private contract, the doctrine of the reorganization of the Supreme court for corrupt political ends and the effort to array class against class, section against section, and interest against interest, and thus to tear down and undermine the foundation of our institutions. When such lights as Cleveland, Carlisle, Schurtz, Palmer, Buckner, Crisp, ami our own Bynum, Cooper, Sheerin, Jewett, Holt, Robinson and many others of the best and ablest democrats refuse to give sanction or support to such pernicious doctrines as are promul gated by these revolutionists it certainly is time for tlie mass of voters to consider well the dangers of such doctrines before casting a

vote.

Many of my former democratic friends and associates in Putnam county, who stood on precisely the same platform and who believed in precisely the same democratic (lottrines in which 1 believe, and who still stand and believe with me, feel constrained to support the Chi cage ticket. To such I make this appeal. Consider the danger before you. Lend no aid to bring on the worst calamity that could befall tIds country, but put forth every effort to assist the threatening calamity. As democrats this party has no claim upon you. It has abandoned every principle and tradition of democracy. It lias abandoned the democratic platforms and doctrines of the past and stands squarely upon the Populist platform of four years ago and of today. Defeat would be far more honorable than success upon such a plntform. So let all gcod Democrats work earnestly with me for the destruction of this enemy to Democracy, for the salvation of onr honor and our country. Let us avert this disaster by casting our votes for McKinley. Milboy Gokdon, Bainbridge, Oct. 28, 1890.

There has not been any diphtheria or scarlet fever in this vicinity. Putnam county will be well sepresented in the Bryan administration if there be one for it is likely Gen. Williamson will he secretary of state, Col. Wright secretary of interior, Oapt. Whinner secretary of agriculture, and Hr. itidpath will be speaker of the house of representatives.

W. T. Grimes and wife visited relatives at Rockville last week. Those from here who heard Judge Robinson’s speech at Oreencastle last Wednesday considered it a very good speech, but some of our populists couldn’t keep their feet still nor their tongius either. They should learn to keep quiet and listen when at democratic speakings or republican speakings, and they can learn more than

they have forgotten.

Some of the democrats are howling

about taxes and say they are too high. They have a good chance to remedy this by voting for thc republican commissioners, which they ought to door

quit kicking about high taxes. While O. li. Carver and wife, and

Mrs. J. J.Claypool were going r-> Roi kvillc they attempted to drive around a gjavel wagon and their buggy was turned over, throwing them all out and bruising Mr. Carver considerably and breaking a rib and bruising Mrs. Clay-

Estes Duncan and wife visited relatives at Indianapolis over Sunday. P. M. Sandy and wife, of Indianapolis, are visiting here. Either tlie Oreencastle Democrat or the Cloverdale Gra/thic has lied. The Democrat stated that Harrison had a crowd at Oreencastle of 1500, the Graphic said there were only 400 to hear Gen. Harrison. Maybe both of them lied. [They did.—Ed. Banner

Times.]

A. J. Farrow spoke to a few people at the opera house last Friday night. His was the most profane speech ever made heie. Several democrats denou ice u. It surely will lose them votes. At the close of the speakipg he proposed three cheers forJ. W. Bryan and no one responded. Miss Jeddie Poynter gave a social at her home Tuesday evening. Nine couples were present and a very pleasant evening was spent. The democrats are trying to work up a big tiarnde for next Saturday. One feature of it will he sixteen young ladies on white horses and one on a yellow horse. Now this is a secret, don’t muittnn it. The speaker at their rally will he Master M. L.

Obituary.

Isaac L. Sinclair was Itorn in Cloverdale township, Putnam comity. Indiana, August 7th. A. 1>., 18.1f). and died Oct. 30th. A. !>., 189(1, aged 57 years, 2 months and Kl days. His entire life was spent in sight of the place of his birth. From the days of his boyhood he was noted for close application to business, and made a success at everything to which he turned his attention. But while he was ever diligent in business lie betrayed none of that overreaching, grasping disposition that blinded hint to the rights of others, hut he lived for others rather than for himself. As a eitizon he bore well bis part in everyeverything that affects public interest. As a member of church he was one of her strong supporters ant! devotedly attached to all her ordinances. As a husband he was a model, worthy of imitation, and :ts a father his now bereaved and sorrow stricken children can all testify. No man whose life is measured by the same number of years, has ever moved in this community that has came nearer teaching society in every point of its circles than has he; and no man ever came nearer honoring every point touched than he did. His character stands symmetrical in all its proportions, without a blot to move its beauty and perfection, and constitutes a monument to the memory that will be permanent, while those of bras* are corroded and those of marble are crumbled into dust. And now in giving up our honored ami loved dead we say the pathetic words of thc poet. Peaceful he thy silent slumbers Peaceful in the grave so low. Thou no more will join our numbers Thou no more our sorrows know. But again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is tied. And in heaven we hope to greet thee Where no farewell tear is shed. Cloverd de Indiana, Oct. 22nd, 189G.

POini-AND MILLS. Mr. E E. Ballard, of ( rawfordsville, spoke from the free silver side of the political question here Tuesday night. His audience was of fair size but as usual at this place, composed of about half republicans. Win. T. Inge is n neb better, and has almost regained his usual mental fac-

Our republicans arc wide awake and on thc elert, and if all parts of our county are as vigilant as we are here, we will have a look at those countyseat hooks after Nov. 3. A Mr. Stewart, of Rcllmorc, moved into our town Saturday. We are surprised to see democrats moving across county lines so near election times, but suppose they conclude their votes will be lost anyway.
