The word is that delegates chosen o the National Republican Convenion, to be held at St. Louis, are each o be assessed $1(K) by the National loin mil tee, towards paying the exlense of the convention. The queston naturally arises, will the delerate from Putnam consider that reults will justify the outlay? This sort of politics is rather expensive. The Banner-Times endeavors to •xplain away the slaughter of Budges ind Riley, and let these gentlemen lowu easy. Explanation don’t go •vlien the facts are the other way—it ,vas generally known and understood 'iy the gang and its friends for some 'ime before, that these two gentlemen were to be knifeil, and the unlerstanding was carried out. Messrs Riley and Bridges owe their defeat to the fact that it was understood that they could not be used officially by die gang. The word is that St. Louis will be o’erwhelmed by the Hood of delegates, whoopers up, and workers who are fixing to be on hand at the National Republican Convention. The fat is being fried out of the manufacturers to boom protection and a protection candidate, and trains are to be chartered to carry the enthusiasts for McKinley to the convention free of charge. The G. O. R. P. will be out in numbers at that convention, and the manufacturing monopolists will largely foot the bill, believing that the investment thus made will return them a hundred per cent, dividend. The Banner-Times has been knocked silly on its gravel road repair twaddle the fact that $150 to $‘250 per mile is expended each year on the streets of Greencastle, and yet they were almost impassable in places a few weeks ago, makes a plain case unfavorable to the city roadways, and emphasises the fact that the count’ys gravel roads are in far better condition than the city's streets, when their original costand cost of tepairs is taken into consideration.

IN CONGKESS.

The outlook now is that it is Mc-

Kinley against the field. The field is numerous and strong, and the Summary of the Daily Procoedings

The Banner-Times is noted for making groundless criticisms on the Democratic party, which are promptly refuted, and then it closes up like a clam—has not the common honesty to tell its readers that it prevaricates.

And now the word comes that Tom Reed, of Maine, is profane as well as pig headed, to use the language of one of Harrison’s local supporters. A special from Washington says that Reed, in his anger, a few days ago, exclaimed, “To h—1 with Harrison! I would rather have the Napoelon of Protection than that old Pharisee from Indianapolis at the head of the National Ticket ”

Every day helps the Democratic cause ; the Democratic outlook grows brighter in Indiana with each succeeding week; the despondency of the past has given way, and hope and confidence are general in the ranks of Democracy. The record made by the Republican party in the Indiana Legislature, and the record it is making in Congress, is so weak and unsatisfactory that the people cannot conscientiously endorse it at the polls in November. In contrast the people will remember the work of the previous Democratic Legislatures, and the wholesome reform measures resulting therefrom. Good work and perfect organization will result in Democratic victory in Indiana at the

election next fall.

The present Congress goes right along proving that its reputation asa do-nothing aggregation of law-makers is unimpeachable. The greateflbrtof the leaders, promptly seconded by their followers, is to avoid new legislation, embarrass the administration, and unseat Democratic members whenever opp< ''unity is offered, and it is proving vt*i;. < ffective in these lines. They seem io forget that the people have their eyes open, and have knowledge of the recerd they are making. The tax-payers appreciate the fact that every move made is for the sole purpose of advancing the cause of Republicanism—the affairs of the nation are manipulated for partisan ends, and the people are the victims. It is time that business methods were given a chance in Congress. It is time for the Republicans to show their hand. They say they have a sovereign remedy for business stagnation and financial ills—let them put them on paper and make them laws. That’s

what the people want.

mers, and put these fellows to work, that they may realize that life is real, and that it takes muscle to earn money, that it takes money to buy provisions, even if they are “hand-outs;” that they may also learn that abusive tongues and foul language are not to be tolerated, and peculations of all sorts are to meet with prompt punishment.

The Banner-Times has toned down ; yea, it has collapsed. Not a word in these latter days about attorneys’ fees ; no reference to stone-crushers; the song of the siren in regard to free gravel road repairs is hushed; no mention is made, now or in the past, of those fireproof safes bought by the Republican official for the schools of this township , it has never referred to those $ 10 guide-hoards bought by a Republican official; it has neglected to inform its readers that the Republican officials of Greencastle spend from $200 to $000 a mile in repairing the streets of Greencastle each year, and that the streets are full of ruts, muit holes, etc., even after spending so much money. The B -T. is discreet —if its readers knew the facts their fealty to Republicanism would be weakened.

The Gang Got There. The Republican primaries to nominate councilman, Tuesday evening, demonstrated the fact that the leading lights and ruling spirits of Republicanism in Greencastle are opposed to reform in the conduct of city affairs, and that extravagance and high salaries are the lines to be followed in the city government. In the first ward George Henton was the candidate of Republicans who favored turning over a new leaf, and making a reduction in salaries etc., to equalize them with services rendered by officials, but he was hurled to defeat in a way that demonstrates that the fine workers were ferninst him. In the second ward James Bridges was the retrenchment and reform candidate, having announced that he favored a reduction of salaries and the conduct of city business in a business way; he was also the avowed friend of silver coinage. The gold bugs and the treasury looters downed him, but his competitor only won by

a scratch.

In the third ward the long and faithful service of John Riley went for naught- the gang had it in for him and they gave it to him hard; honest Ben Hayden, who at one time was a sure winner, had the pins knocked from under him by skulduggery, and he was relegated to the Jim Crow car for a trip up Salt River; Chittenden, the representative of the working men, was biffed hard, and he was turned down by the gang with only eighteen votes to his credit. The whole affair was managed in the interest of “de gang” and those who whack with it; the only lino of action open to secure the retrenchment and reform so sorely needed in this tax burdened and ring ridden city is to cut loose on election day and give the Democratic nominees yet to be named—they will be good men however the victory by an emphatic majority. The vote in the wards at Tuesday’s primaries was as

follows:

There is heard occasionally from a life long Democrat the assertion that he will not vote the ticket if the platform don’t suit him from A to Z. This is all wrong. The great underlying principles of the Democratic party are unchangeable—they are that government is by and with the consent of the governed, and that all government and legislation should be directed to the end that the greatest good should result to the greatest number. These cardinal principles hold good in the Democratic party now, as they have since its organization. It is not natural, and it is not to be expected, that each and every individual in so great a political organization as the Democratic party would think just alike on passing political issues, and it would be unwise for individual Democrats to refuse to vote the ticket, and support the party because a platform does not denounce everything he denounces, and indorse everything he indorses. The results in life, socially, politically, financially, and in other ways, are from mutual compromises; ws scarce have anything our own way ; the right thing to do in politics, as in other affairs, is to stand by and support the Democratic party, trusting it, as heretofore, with

Hicks gives his ideas of what the April weather will be as follows: April opens in the midst of a reregular storm period, hence a warmer wave, with low barometer, and rain will be in progress. About the 3d storms will tend to the east, cooler weather having followed same from the west. On about the 5th or 6th reactionary storms will be due. A mercury equinox on the 6th will pro-
