The flood of holiday advertising i has caused us to double our capacity, with a view of handling this : very cherished auxiliary to success- ’ i ful newspaper publishing, and at ■ the same time not draw on the space i devoted to the patrons of the news ■ columns. The Daily Democrat is ; equal to any emergency. i The meeting of the democratic national committee at Washington, ; January 12, to set a time and place for holding rhe next national con- ' vention is already creating much in- . terest among Indiana democrats. ] At present Chicago seems to be in ’ favor as it is also among members | of the republican national commit- ; tee. The elimination of Cromer from I the committee on postoffices and post roads is a slap at the vaunted statesmanship of this celebrated congressman. The apponents of Cromer will no doubt use it to a very good advantage in the approaching struggle for supremacy in this district. The suggestion by Dale Crittenbergerthat Judge Allan Zollars was the proper stuff for governor, and i the spontaneous outburst in favor of Editor John B. Stoll of the South Bend Times, all t 1 nds to show tint the Indiana democrats are complete masters of themselves. Either of the gentlemen named would be glory in itself for the great un terri tied of the state of Indiana. Shot by Personal Friend. Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 10.—Thomas Burton, a private in Company E.
