Lowell Tribune (rep.).: —The democrats at their convention held in Monticello last week nominated Cant. William Guthrie, of Monticello, as their candidate for Congress from the lOtli district . against Hon. K. D. Crumpaoker. f’apt. Guthrie served as Captain of Co. 1, 101 Indiana Infantry in the Spanish American War. lie is a man very highly respected and will come ns near being elected perhaps as any man that can be pitted against Mr. Crumpacker

The Carroll County Citizen, although published in another congressional district, pays a handsome tribute to our democratic candidate for congress in the following words: The democrats of the Tenth district did themselves great honor last Saturday in nominating Capt. Wm. Guthrie of Monticello, for Congress. Capt. Guthrie is a man of rare good business judgment, as the management of his own private affairs bears abundant testimony. An experienced teacher and former superintendent of schools speaks volumes for his educational qualification. He is a lawyer of marked ability. His Americanism is demonstrated by his prompt response to the call for troops in the Spanish war. There is not an element necessary in a faithful, competent and efficient representative in congress but what can be found in Capt. Guthrie's general make-up. Being one of the people he knows their wants, and being an honest man will fairly represent them. Capt. Gt thrie is one of the most eloquent speakers in th«- state and will thoroughly canvass the district. The old Tenth district has a reputation of flirting with democrats in congressional e'ections, having in times past defeated Schuyler Colfax, Billy Owen and other lesser republican lights by electing their democratic opponents, and there never was a time that it could more worthily bestow its favor upon a democrat than now.

MILES.

They’resetting on the trails oflots of things that have been done; They think they've got the very man who struck B. Patterson; They’re almost sure the villian who bitched up that old gray hoss And dashed away that bitter day with little Charley Koss Is in their grasp, and now they're fast exposing all his wiles; They don’t exactly know, but then— They think that It was Miles! They’ve sherlockhoimesed around until they say they have a clew To who it was that started Carrie Nation’s big to-do; They've got a lot of evidence about the war with Spain, And pretty know the man that busted up the Maine; They think they know who Introduced the shirtwaist to men’s styles; Tbe're not precisely sure, but then— They think that It was Miles!

The jury's out about fl that awful crime of ’73. And who the guilty wretch was is a thing we soon shall see; l hey think he is the fellow who arranged the trust in meat, And organized the syndicate to do the sugar beet: They're sure he turned the lava on in those volcanic isles; They can’t exactly say, but then— They think that It was Miles! They whisper that he is the man who ordered out the pump To water-cure the natives till they could no longer jump; They think they’ve got the very man, as sure as can be, Who’s guilty of'most every crime that's hid in mystery. From powder plots to getting up these fierce au-to-mo-BILES; It isn't settled yet, but then— They hint that It was Miles! —Baltimore American,

The tax levy of $21,336 for aid of the east and west railroad was made, but auditor was directed not to place same on the tax duplicate until said railway company complies with the petition and the law. [This tax, like that voted for the Gifford ’ grape-vine,” will probably never have to be paid, for there is no prospect of the road’s ever being built. The next crowd of railroad promoters who come aloug and want a bonus voted should be given the cold shoulder, and especially so unless they put the costs in advance to pay the expense of holding the elections.
