Isn’t that a noble band of official patriots. The council of ties should be turned out to grass and their place's given to men who know a thing or two, and are not afraid to go on record in favor of their ideas of public business. It is time a council were elected who will transact the public business of the city, and transact it as men

and councilmen should. Twentynine ties in two years is a record of “horse play” and should be resented by the voters on May 3. With every democrat doing his duty as a democrat, the democratic ticket will have a nice comfortable majority, as it should have and as it deserves to have. Personal differences should be fought out at the primary and the choice then made should be the ehoice of every one having the interest and welfare of the democratic party at heart. Get ready to stamp the rooster on election day. The republicns have great argu- ■ nient when they happen to have use for democratic votes. They are moral when it is votes to be moral and they are gay and festive when it is votes to be gay and festive. Any old thing goes. When it comes to voting themselves they see nothing but their own party ticket. The democrats should profit by the experiences of the past and vote the ticket of their party.

The Democrats of Ward and Jaok--1 son townships met at Saratoga last week one day and endorsed the candidacy of the Hon. John A. M. Adair of Portland, tor congress. Mr Adair is a first-class lawyer and a good business man and it certainly looks like a shame to have him put up to be batted all over the Eighth Congressional district all to on purpose —Winchester Herald. ANNUAL EXCURSION Contrary to the expectations of many, there will be an excursion to Ohio this year and it will lie run under the auspices of the Ohio & Indiana Old Settlers Reunion as of old. O. L. Enos, taveling passenger agent of the Chicago & Erie road, with headquarters at Marion, 0., was in the city yesterday and had along conference with W. W. Weisell, Sr. The result was that it was positively decided to run the excursion and reunion as of old. Many people were under the impression that because of the St. Loins fair the trip would be abandoned this year. It is thought, however, that the fair will cut little

figure with the excursion. Mr Weisell stated this morning that | the rate to Youngstown. Ohio, would be the same as always and that from Youngstown to all other i points a half fare rate would no . doubt be secured by the excur - . sionists.—'Bluffton Banner. A Recommendation. Bluffton, Ind., April 20, 1901. To Whom It Mav Concern: In the city of Bluffton we have more than ten miles of eement sidewalks. Last season James H. Davis constructed ten squares of cement walk in this city, and while all of our cement walks are in excellent condi- • tion, the walk laid by Mr. Davis is the best walk in the city. John Mock, Mavor.
