Pull Together—Says Brown.

Senator Brown, in his speech at the republican editorial banquet, declared harmony to be of vital importance in the campaign of the year. He said: “As republicans, if our principles are right, and they are, we owe it’to ourselves, as well as to the country, to stand together and to march together and to fight together for republican success. “This is not the year for fractional war. Republican principles are essential, as never before, to the peace and prosperity of the American people. Republican principles are more p/o gressive, and their advances more pronounced, than ever before. Republican ideals are higher and better, and republican fidelity to good conscience more uncompromising than ever before.” ' It is nothing uncommon for court cases to be continued, especially breach of promise cases, where the defendant fears the consequences of having his duplicity brought out in a trial, and the local suit which is stirring social circles to the very brim, has been postponed. The cause of the postponement, however, was not on application or affidavit of either plainrttg iwaiw> lecture which is to take place at- the M. E. church Monday night. The trial, which is really a “mock” trial will take place at the opera house Thursday night, Feb. Bth. Tickets are now on sale at Clarke’s jewelry store and members of the Christian church. The trial was a great success at Monticello Tuesday night, papers praising it highly. Governor Marshall is quite a straddler. He commuted the sentence of Davis, the notorious Lake county negro murderer to life imprisonment from death. He did it to satisfy a few sentimentalists and then to satisfy the newspapers which realized that Davis should suffer death, the governor said that “hanging was too good for him” and that he needed the horrors of the penitentiary. It has been*hard to convict criminals in Lake county and the judgment of the" juries and the courts there should not be interfered with when a conviction is- secured. Marshall evidently intends to mate his administration as didiculous as possible. Every night for the last fourteen years an Indiana man has put out the lights and locked up the. capital at Washington, D. C. After today, the responsible task will fall to someone else, because the rules committee has seen fit to notify Samuel Smith, of Veedersburg, that his services as a member of the capital police force will no longer bb needed.
