Union B. Hunt has been named and will serve as private secretary to Governor-elect Hanley. The new governor has made the announcement. Judge Richard K. Erwin, of Decatur, was in the mt? yesterday on legal business. The judge is still congratulating himself and Adams county democrats generally over the capture of the title of “green spot ” Adams county didn’t maintain her old majority, but the democratic ticxet was elected, just the same.—Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. The most critical of all comments on the president’s message was the product of that staidly independent but always reliable republican Indianapolis News. They say as a literary production it was disappointing; that it is long, rambling, unoriginal and wholly without constructors! unity; that it is not even well written; that less important matters are exalted over those of the greatest importance; that the tariff is ignored; that the question of a persistent deficit is not considered. In all the message is a p>or excuse for a message in the eye of the independent Indianapolis News. It is evident that the News will sometimes define the truth in a logical way. It is quite a democratic victory to find that the republicans are considering tariff reform., During I the campaign nearly ail the repub- ' lican speakers tried to impress the voters with the idea that they must let well enough alone and that re- ’

vising the tariff was certain to dis- • turb business. The president ii '■ now said to favor some measure of reduction of customs duties, and • the news from Washington states that Senator Fairbanks advises him to call a special session of Congress for that purpose. If this report that Fairbanks has left the ranks of the stand patters is true, it is i probable that the special session has been decided upon, for our . astute fellow-citizen would not climb onto the reform band wagon unless such a course was necessary to regain his hold on the patronage that is so necessary to keep the machine in line for him four years from now.—Sentinel. Additional Locals. E. Mentor of Kokomo was a business caller here today. Dan Erwin is attending to oil business at Willshire today. Charles Wilson, of Marion, was a business caller here today. Ansel Bremerkamp returned from a business trip at Fort Wayne. L. L. Baumgartner, of Linn Grove, was a business caller here today. Miss Jennie Brandy! erry went to Bluffton today to make a short visit with friends. William Downey returned to In dianapolis today. While he re he was attending to oil business. Mrs. J. D. Hale went to Bluffton today, leing called there owing to the death of her mother, Mrs. Holmes. James Gay, the furniture man, has certainly got hold of a pie< j of bad money that is floating around, and of which the Democrat warned its readers. James got shaved this morning at Lose & Shrank’s barber shop, and after getting shaved tendered Ben Schrank a silver dollar. Ben took the dollar and at onoe noticed a iieculiarity, it having a head on both sides. Ben at once returned the piece to Mr. Gay, who acknowledged that he , had been buncoed. The dollar was a perfect imitation, with the excep j tion of having the two lea Is, and would pass anywhere with the average business man.
