Gleiti the German orator of Logansport, spoke to the people here last Monday night on the issues of the campaign, and was greeted with a full house. Frank Foltz of Rensselaer, spoke at Slaughter schoolhouse Saturday night from a republican standpoint to a slim

audience. Mr. Foltz prayed for nearly two hours,,for democratic sympathy but with no effect. Aside from a historical lecture of. the by-gone ages he seldom touched, on the issues before us.. Unlike Mark Himna, he said that trusts, were a good thing; toldi us of oil being found in Jasper, counsy; of having a civil war to free f’oCMOo slaves—but< no* one word about the 10,000,000 we recently purchased;, denied the right to- coin silver at 16 to i„ —but did not tell us that was what the administration was doing, Oh, no;, Declared there was no imperialism did not know Uncle Sat* furnished the arms to help whip Spain that they might gam the freedom prom- I , ised them, nor one word about slavery j | aud polygamy existing under our flag, oh ' ; no. We understand Mr. Foltz has chal- ‘ lenged the democratic candidate fox governor for a series of debates. Fie need not go out of Jasper county as be c m meet his Waterloo right here at home. \Ve knew his argument wrs thin, but when we heard one of the opposite partv say if he ever time again he would receive a frost, il made us think, that it might be the truth.

A Desperate Case.

The Apologist has become desperate over the prospects of B. D. C mer of Union, again warming ft seat in the township, trustees society in Jasper county, and seeks to besmirch his opponent by showing how he has charged so much for assessing. It points out that Mr. Casey’ was allowed SBO more for his services in 1899 than he asked lin 1900, and that for the reason for his making a lesser charge in I'.lOO was on the account of his being a candidate. Now every intelligent man knows that the real estate was re-appraised in 1899 and the duties of the assessors

were much great?r than this, that ' that every assessor in the county received considerably more pay in 1 1899 than in 1900 by reason of this.* Now let us turn to Walker tp.. j where Honest John O’Connor, who! is now making prosperity speeches for the g. 0. p., in Jasper, was the assessor. The larger the population of a township the greater the duties of the assessor, because he has more people to see and to assess. For the year of 1899 Mr. O'Connor and assistants were paid $l9O for assessing Walker tp.,

which was but S3B less than that paid for Union. The vote cast in | Union in 1896 was over 360; in Walker 235. Estimating the population at four to each voter gives Union 1,440, and Walker but 910, or one-third less than Union. It will thus be seen that even were other conditions the same, the duties of assessing in Union are one-third greater than in Walker, but there was only §3B difference in cost Fnion, by the way, is probably the hardest township to asaess in Jasper county. While having quite a large population, it is scattering. There are three small towns, Parr, Fair Oaks and Virgie, within its borders and all are quite a distance apart, which tn tikes the duties of assessing much more arduous than were the population of all the towns in one. Walker tp , has but one town, Kniman.
