One Year's Record,
The record of the Democratic party for the year it has been in power is not one to attract any sensibie voter to its support. Let us recapitulate just a few of the items in the account:
The financial panic. The business depression. The Wilson bill. The rep al of the federal election laws. The sugar scandal in the Senate. The Bland seigniorage fraud. 'The policy of infamy in Hawaii.
Josiah Quincyism. And the loss of millions of dollars to workingmen throughout the country by the asinine stupidity of its efforts to statesmanship.
What is there in this brief ^record of one year's lease of power to leafrany sensible man to support the Democratic party in any election—national, state, county or city?—Toledo Blade.

A VBRT SICK CHICKEN.
For tbe KEPUBL CAN. Doctor can you tell me wliy Our sick Birdie's going to die,
It has fed too much on rye. Poor sickly Birdie. WP neglectcd its old coop,
Till the poor thing got the roupe See its feathers how they droop No cure for the Birdie.
Once the Birdie was called game Chapman crowed and crowed again, Mow the chicken has grown tame
Mo fight in our Birdie. From onr hens it often strayed Oft in sport with Dixie played Lost its health, crowing free trade,
Well-a-day, poor Birdie.
Take our pet now out of town, Lest it in the mire drown Change its drink from ale so brown
That can't nourish Birdie Separate the Court House ring Some fresh lime in haste, now bring, Never more old Dixie sing
Dig a grave for Birdie. JOHN WILSON, Greenfield, Ind.

The idea is prevalent over the county just now that the Republicans will elect a part of their ticket at least, and a good many Democrats are disposed to help them. They feel that the offices should be filled by A No. 1 men, in every respect. Men who will see that the taxpayers are not robbed. Many voters propose to put their own interests before the success of any party and that is thu best thing for them to do.

Elmer J. Binford, one of the popular and successful young attorneys of Greenfield is out announcing himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for prosecuting attorney. He is a young man of ability, popular, with cordial,genial manners. He is a vote getter.
Michael F. Isgrigg, who for eight years has been the popular telegraph operator and freight agent at Fortville, has at the urgent solicitation of the Vernon township Republicans, announced himself a candidate for auditor. Both Republicans and Democrats unite in saying that Mr. Isgrigg would make a very efficient, clever and popular auditor.
Howard Roberts, of Maxwell, announces his name this week as a candidate for Recorder. Mr. R. is a young man ot energy and ability, who is well known over this county. He is well qualified for the office he seeks and would make a splendid race.
The Republicans propose putting out a splendid ticket from one end to the other. All first-class, A No. 1 men, that will commend themselves to the people, regardless of party, by their character, their ability and business qualifications.
