GETTING READY FOR BUSINESS.

It is now given oat that VicePresid.nt Morton has not engaged in the saloon business, but we believe the denial is not over his own name. A meeting of the Jasper county Democratic Central Committee was held in Rensselaer last Saturday. David W Shields was elected Chairman and James W. McEwen, Secretary. The court in Montana has ordered the republican judges of elections to count the districts they had determined to throw out. Thus the attempt to make an infamous steal tas been thwarted. The democrats will have a major«J ity of the legislature on joint ballot. MahoDe, the rebel brigadier whose sin of treason was washed away on his entrance into the republican fold, republican candidate for govunnr of Virginia, was arrestad the thor day ou charge of shooting a jollifier at Petersburg, Va. He was admitted to bail. The Australian system where in operation in the elections last Tuesday wa3 in every instance beneficial to the Democracy. Let the Democracy of republican-rid-den Jaspe. County 7 take courage. We will not be in the least surprised if republicanism is downed in this county at the next general election. Take courage! Rally along the whole line!! ■» » Our neighbor each week devotes considerable space to the produce tions of the ‘Home Market Club,’ an institution maintained by the monopolists of the land. A strong republican farmer the other day remarked to us that “It is a h-1 of a home market-wheat 55, oats 15, other cereals away down, cattle lf@2c, hogs next to nothing. Yes, it’s ah lof a home market. They don’t fool me with that kind of chaff again.”

Rensselaer. Nov. s.—[Sp-ciai. ] —The democrats have reorganized their county committee by electing David W. Shields chairman and James W. McEwen secretary. Mr. Shields is a young, active democrat and a faithful worker. Mr. McEwen’s democracy is of such a character that no disap-, pointment can shake it, and through sunshine and shadi h« works vigorously for the cause. With such a committee, and tariff reform| as the watchword, look out for a good showing in the future. The above good words we clip from the Indianapolis Sentinel, and assure the author that Mr. Snields, ourself and the commit tee will strive to justify his expectations. BOUGHT BY THU TRUST. The state board of education accepted the new series of school books. The state board of education i R rf »p n b]ican. If the books ivere not good they should not have been accepted. As they were accepted, we presume that the state board was more c u latent to judge than the average republican editor. The truth of the mat.er is the whole republican pre'-s (with nowand tlun an exception) is bought, body, soul, and breeches by the trust.—Starke County Jpedger. - ■ ■ —■ Our neighbor thinks the lase grand ju.y didn’t understand its i duties.
