Look out for the Republican boodlers! If you detect one see that he is promptly arrested. Bribery and corruption must not be allowed to overthrow the will of the people.

At Groton, a few days ago, a son-in-law of Mrs. Davis played burglar and attempted to frighten her. that he might see what she would do with a revolver she had recently purchased. He found out to his sorrow—she shot him, and amputation of his ( 'ood right arm was necessary to save his life.

victory at the polls by corrupting the

ballot box.

One of the disgusting things forced upon the notice of the 1 eople, in this campaign,is the boastful manner in which Republican managers talk about the money they have on hand to spend for campaign purposes, generally coupled with the threat that every dollar of it will be used, in violation of law, to bribe voters and cor-

rupt the ballot box.

Over in Russell township a wealthy citizen said to one of his hired men : “Jim, you’ll cut your wages down one-half if you vote for Bryan, and he should happen to be elected.” The employe looked his adviser in the face and replied, “Mr. , if you believed what you have just said was true, you’d spend all your waking time between now and election day endeavoring to persuade people to vote for Bryan, and you’d vote for

Since then Mr. United States, the gist of it being

demoralized that they are gradually growing afraid to say even “I’ll bet

you $5.”

One of the audience listening to a speech by recently, exclaimed: “Start up the mills.” Bryan’s reply was: “Suppose you start up the mills, how are you going to dispose of the things the mills produce unless the people can buy the products of your mills? ’ The only cry of exultation coming from Republicans now-a-days, is that “the Democrats have no money.” The allegation is true, but the Democrats have what is better—the hearts and the consciences of the people are with them, and they will cast their ballots for Bryan and free silver. One the recent arrivals at New York from England was Benj. Folsom, a cousin of President Cleveland’s wife, Avho has been Consul at Sheffield, Eng., for several years. Mr. Folsom says that the English favor McKinley, and believe that if Bryan is elected his policy will greatly injure the business of England. During the excitement of a presidential campaign local political all'urs are sometimes lost sight of. The people should remember that if they expect to reap the benefits of free silver and gold coinage, at the ratio of 10 to 1, it is just as necessary to elect the local and state tickets, as it is to elect W. J. Bryan to the presidency.

Free silver coinage would increase the price of the products of the farm ; this fact is acknowledged as true even by the gold bugs, and as prosperity on the farm is the sure and only foundation for prosperity in all other lines of industry, this should be a sufficient argument to convince all that it is their duty and their interest to support Bryan and free silver.

The Utahnian is the name given to Douan’s new newspaper venture, in Salt Lake City. This is a misnomer it should be called the Donanian, fjr its equal is not to be found on earth, nor in the waters under the earth, nor in the heavens above. No one but Pat Donan could daddy a periodical as bright, as crisp, as original, as cute, as cunning, or as highly cussed and discussed.

Last week, at Seward, Oklahoma, a preacher named Lamb, delivered a sermon on the/’evils and frivolities” of social life,” and in his remarks he declared “that women who dance are not virtuous.’’ Then Lamb narrowly escaped being converted into mutton. His congregation were not fools enough to endorse such finatical doctrine, and they were indignant enough to hop uuto him like buzzards after Carrion. The reverend fool was chased to the Santa Fe Station by 50 enraged persons. At the station he was beaten by by two farmers and a number of women. Subsequently he ivas rescued from a coat of tar and feathers by a Santa Fe train crew.

The scandals continuously crop ping out in regard to employes of the Jeffersonville penitentiary, under its present Republican management are very disgraceful and entirely to( numerous. A special from Louisville, Ky., says : When “John Jones” was arraigned in the Police Court he was identified as Dr. Harry C. Sharp, surgeon of the Indiana State Prison South, at Jefferson vile. He confessed his guilt, and, paying his fine, made haste to cross the ferry to his own State. A pair of tights caused all Dr. Sharp’s trouble. He attended the Avenue Theater. Among the performers is Bonnie Thornton, wife of the proprietor, who, for better effect, does her “turn” in red tights. Dr. Sharp witnessed the performance from an orchestra seat, lie became smitten with the fair creature in tights, and when she had linished her turn he made straightway for the stage, and thence up a steep Might of stairs to the dressing-room of the actress. He rudely pushed aside the maid at the door, and entered. In the meantime a c juple of stage hands had followed him upstiirs. They overhauled him as he was abjut to embrace the wearer of the tights. Then followed a desperate struggle on the stairway. Mr. Thornton arrived on the scene, and while he went in search of a policeman the stage hands took care of him and he was lodged in jail for the night.

First, there is the p -ople’s candidate for Representative, lion. John II. James, whose years of residence in Putnam has won for him the highest esteem of all. Mr. James is a lawjer of ability and a Christian gentleman whose character is unimpeachable. The embodiment of frankness and fearless honesty, with a courage that always leads him to express his honest tymvictions, with a hatred of sham and false conventionalism and an equally strong love

Dr. Ridpath’s election to Congress would be a great honor to the 5th District, and to have the honor of casting a ballot for such a man is a privilege which few ever enjoy. If the people of thr 5th District will send Dr. Ridpath t j Congress, he will consecrate his generous heart to the preservation of the people’s rights and the restoration of the stars and stripes to their honored position among the

the people.

Hon. Lucius A. Stockwell, of Cloverdale township, who has received the nomination for State Senator from two parties, will prove a valuable co-worker .witli Mr. James. Mr. Stockwell has long been a resident ot Putnam, and it was while he was County Superintendent that the schools of Putnam county were greatly increased in their effectiveness. The greater part of Mr. Stockwell’s life has been spent on his farm near Cloverdale. As a practical farmer he thoroughly understands the peculiar conditions and needs of farm life. His earnest and devoted labors in the Farmers’ Mutual Benefit Association gained for him unsought a National reputation, and this fact, in connection with his cultured mind and thorough mastery of the intricate problems of social and political economy, called him to the management of the American Nonconformist, the foremost economic reform journal of the Nation. Mr. Stockwell, aside from numerous {ditorial work and newspaper correspondence, has contributed greatly to the agitation for free silver and an American monetary and economic system. His works, “Government OAvnership of Railroads,” “The Earthquake,” and “Points for Thinkers,” have been and are to-day widely read by all classes, the last named pamphlet having reached a circulation of over 30,000. The agricultural and business interests of Putnam and Hendricks can rely upon Mr. Stockwell as a man who understands the present situation, and who will stand by the people in the Senate. The eyes of the Nation are to-day on the Fifth Congressional District of Indiana, because the plain people of the district have selected for their Congressional candidate a man—a native and a resident of Putnam county—whose fame is not only national but international. In the face of his protest, Dr. John Clark Ridpath, the greatest living historian, was unanimously nominated for Congress by the Democrats and Populists, and the nomination was accepted at a great personal sacrifice. Dr. Ridpath was for many years a professor in Asbury- now DePauw University, but in later years has devoted his energies almost exclusively to literature. Some of his leading works are: “History of the World,” “History of tho U. S.,” etc. Dr. Ridpath has always been an advocate of free silver and the peo-

succor of “the needy who cry and him that hath no helper.” M. L. Dagoy. The "Non-Con” Changes Hands. The Non-Conformist, the organ of the populist party in this state, changed hands in a very dramatic fashion at 2 o’clock Sunday morning. Chas. X. MattheAvs, who made himself conspicuous as a “middle of the road populist,” was arrested and placed in the police station for disorderly conduct. Mrs. Vincent, wife of Prof. Vincent who is now in the west making Bryan speeches, purchased the paper for her husband. The difficulties arose because the editorial management lor some time had been contrary to the wishes of the populist party Chas. X. Matthews had been deceiving the readers of that paper by a mis-represenpta-tion of the true condition of affairs. Inthelast few issues prominent populist leaders have been severely criticised on the editorial page on account of their patriotic action in this campaign in placing principle above party and in doing everything in their power to bring about better economic conditions. The policy of Matthews has been “no Watson no Bryan,” but the policy of the “NonCon” will be "Ameiican interests before all party considerations.”
