Governor Durbin is mad. He is ■ going to make the democratic 01- : ganization rich by contributing one thousand dollars thereto, providing any one of his appointees will publicly say that the governor who appointed them, is not on the square. The governor is chain-I piouing a very bad cause. W. J. Bryan has lengthened his ■ time for the Indiana camp tign to ten days and the state i I * ; committee are figuring on thirty 1 speeches in those ten days. Adams | , county’ will have to content itself by going to Portland to hear this ■ great democrat discuss the issues. The time will be about the middle ' | of October. Hon. John W. Kern's keynote was the best we have heard. It was so good that the Chicago Rec- ' ord Herald eulogized it with a very handsome editorial. It measures Mr. Kern in a new way and the standard used is a credit to the man and candidate It will be a source of much congratulation to , the southern Adams county citizens to know that Mr. Kern will address a day meeting at Geneva some time next month. ■- " " “It called to the office of presi- ' dent. I shall consider myself the ■ i chief magistrate of all the people ' and not of anv faction, and shall ever be mindful of the fact that on ; 1 many questions of national policy | ■ there are honest differences of opinion. I lielieve in the patriotism. good sense and absolute sincerity of all the people. 1 shall' j strive to remember that he may | s.-rve his party best who serves his country best."—Judge Parker's letter of acceptance.''— According to the New York Her- ' aid there is every’ encouragement ! for the democrats in the doubtful! .! states. That enterprising and in- i fluential newspaper prints reports) from New York, New Jersey.; I Connecticut, West Virginia, Indi ana and Wisconsin. These reports 1 ) are not based upon hot air, but . u) m conditions as thev actually

exist in these states. The tide is toward the democratic ticket and the thing to. do is to get into the I swim and make the result decisive. JAMES R. RIGGS. James R Riggs. Democratic aoml nee for Auditor of State, is a native of Sullivan county. He was educated in the common schools of the county ■ and early entered upon the business I career which has made him conspicu- ) ous in the business life of the county, i and he is now president of the Sulli- - ■ I t - ■ r 1 JAMES K. HIGGS. van County Loan and Trust Company, ■ one of the sound financial institutions | of the state. He is a man of affairs, i closely attentive to business, but genial and companionable. Mr. Riggs has been a life long Democrat and has always served his party ' whenever an opportunity presented i itself. In 1894 he was elected Auditor ) of Sullivan county, and filled the requirements ot that office in an ideal , manner. In every way Mr. Riggs is | well qualified to serve in the capacity j for which he was nominated by his party. He was the nominee of the j party for State Auditor two years ago, and made an excellent race. The big suit ard cloak opening soon Wait for it; exclusive style.
