To the People of Rensselaer and Vicinity.

GREETING. The election is now as the World’s Fair numbered with things that are past. But say? What of the long weary evenings which are approaching as fast as the car of time can carry them. The question of most importance that comes up in connection with this thought is, “What shall I do thatlmay gain the most benefit; and have them pass the least burdensome.” The desession of past ages, is that reading, or the exercise of our musical talents are the most beneficial because by so doing we gain the golden fruit of intelligence which only the superhuman power can deprive us of. We are prepared to furnish you with any books, magazines or newspapers published in this and foreign countries, in any language, at prices that will entirely please you. • " We also make some very special offers on tea and coffee. Ours is also the exalted privilege of supplying the public with W. W. Thomas’ pure oil complexion soap.

And unto those who are weary and would rest, we have that which will give you rest unto the uttermost, in the form of Laudemen’s Bros, new adjustable bed springs, for which we are the sole agents for this county. Stepping over as it were the 10,000 grand bargains we are enabled to make you; we will close for this time, close with making an earnest appeal unto the kings and queens of the farm, entreating with them to get our prices on poultry, eggs and butter before contracting elsewhere. We extend a most sincere and hearty invitation to the public to investigate our lines and modes of business. Trusting that we may in the future sail happily together in the grand old ship of friendship, upon the deep waters of the sea of business, we would subscribe as yours most truly. For Specialties, Frederic R. Fielder & Co. Rensselaer, Ind. Office first door south of school house. '

The Democratic, party in Indiana, says the Washington correspondent of- the Indianapolis Sentinel, is evidently not going to accent the defeat of last month as final. Effortf are being made to put forward a united front from now on until the next election in the hope of again bringing the state back into the Democratic column, where it should be.— Chairman Thomas Tavgart has written the D«l ocratic members of the delegation asking them to meet in Indianapolis on the Bih day of next Ja uary in order that plans may be formulated for an aggressive campaign from this time on in the state. He looks upon the defeat at the polls last month as merely temporary and believes that the party can, at the next election, if it is united and harmonious, secure control of the state. I’he members of the delegation, generally, accept Mr. Taggart’s suggestions and believe that the plan outlined by him is a good one and should be adopted. The members all recognize the fact that party unity and harmony must be the foundation for all campaigns in he future.

Gov Matthews, on being questioned, Friday, in regard to the report that the grand jury would not be called in Lake“county to investigate the Roby track, said: “I have been in correspondence with Judge Gillette, of Lake county, who thinksffthe grand jury, if called, will make nojindiotments against the Roby managers, and recites th a failure of their eflforts in that direction last year. Tak* ing these facts into consideration I concur in Judge Gillette’s opinion, and think it would be useless. In conjunction with the attorneygeneral, 1 am considering plans upon which to act.” It is stated by reliable authority that the govt ernor has sent on agent to Roby to make an investigation, and when this is completed the executive will spring some king new on the race track gang.

An esteemed correspondent in the interior of the state writes to ask if the plates for the first issue of bonds under the Cleveland administration were not prepared before the Harrison administration expired. The Free Press published the facts in this matter some weeks since, showing that Secretary Foster, before he retired from office* had ordered the plates prepared for a $50,000,000 loan. Whether the same plates were actually used for the issue made after President Cleveland came into office we are not advised; but it is es no practical importance. The fact of importance is that Mr. Harrison’s administration found itself confronted by the same necessity which confronted Mr. Cleveland’s a d proposed to meet it m the same way. Secretary Foster managed to tide the matter over until he was safely out of office; but he left the necessity as pressing as ever. The fact is worthy the attention of the calamity howlers of the Be. publican party who are railing against Mr. Cleveland for doing the same thing that his predecessor was all ready t. do.—Detroit Free Press.

It is often a mystery how a cold has been “caught." The fact is, however, that when the blood is poor and the system depressed, one becomes peculiarly liable to diseases. When the appetite or the strength fails, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla should be taken without delay. To date the reform record of triumphant Republicanism in Indiana is as follows: Supreme Court Clerk Hess guilty of nepotism.

State Geologist Blatchley, ditto. Coroner Castor, of Marion county, guity of overcharging. Attack on the state tax law; school book law; Australian ballot law. Gerrymander in sight. Partisan control of state institutions. Proposed repeal of metrop litan police law. Scramble for a seat at the pie counter. And the legislature of reformers has not yet convened. Fo other remedy is so reliable in cases of sudden colds, or coughs, or for ary and all derangements of the throat and lungs, as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. This wonderful medicine affords great relief in consumption, even in the advanced stages of that disease. It might not have been quite parliamentary in Champ Clark to intimate, during Saturday’s debate in the House, that Congressman Boutelle was chiofly|JremarkaDle for his largeness of mouth and scarcity of brains, but then bow cou>.d he, in any other language* have con ectlv port rayed the Maine parasite?

The Bazaar to be given by the ladies of the Presbyterian congre gation,will be held m John Eger’s old stand, beginning Tuesday, Dec 18, and continue through the week. Boutelle, of Maine, wants it distinctly understood that the republican party is as much to blame for McKinleyism as the man who gave it his name. He has no patience republican congressional campaign chairman Babcock’s plan of singling out McKinley foi|ienunciation. Boutelle is correct. The republican party gave to the|coun» try the McKinley monstrosity, and it is in wretched taste, not to say rank injustice, to make the Napoleonic- visaged Major the scapegoat of the party. You will regret failure to attend the Ladies’ Bazaar to be held next week.
