BARKLEY TP., CONVENTION.

The Democratic voters of Barkley Town - ship, Jasper County, Indiana, are requested to meet at Cosy Palace school house on SATURDAY. SEPTEBER 0, at 2p. in., for th _• purpose of nominating a t ownship ticket to be voted for at the November election. John Kimbi.E, Chm. East Pre. Horatio Kopp,Chm. West Pre. The editor of the Goodland Herald has experienced "a change of heart,” and announces that he will now support the republican judicial candidates. Consideration not stated. The Star, Goodland’s new republican paper, also omits the names of the republican candidates for judge and prosecutor from the ticket carried at the head of its editorial column. As a result of the recent investigation of the county records in Ripley county, ex-Treasurer Scboopmire, republican, has paid $2,154.66, the amount he was found to bo short, into the county treasury. When a newspaper publishes a lot of obscene matter each week with the fool idea that the stuff is genuine, red-hot wit, it is high time for the postotfice authorities to step in and extend a restraining hand.— Morocco Courier. Democratic chairmen in townships that have not id ready hold their townshipconventions,should prepare thejr call and send if in to The Democrat for publication. No charge is made for such publication. We also desire the names of the candidates nominated at the township conventions as soon thereafter as possible. Probably no more difficult situation ever confronted an aspirant for election to the highest office in the land than that which now confronts Mr. Roosevelt. Although he deftly refrained from

inciting the last Congress to action against the trusts, beyond a few perfunctory recommendations is his first message, his Independence Day speech startled the proprietors of the octopi and they quickly made it know that a campaign conducted along the lines laid down on that occasion would receive no support from- them. Republican politicians promptly notified the President that he must adopt a more conservative tbne'in dealing with the trusts, the alleged plans formulated by the Preßinent and Representative Littlefield of Maine were immediately hushed and little more was heard in regard to the trusts or the modification of the tariff with a view to their suppression until the lowa Republicans met and adopted a platform inimical to the interests of the trusts magnates. Secretary Shaw then went to Oyster Bay and conferred with the President and it was given out, after his visit, that he would voice the sentiments of the President on the trust and tariff question during the campaign. Consequently Mr. Shaw’s first speech made at Morrisville, Vt., was awaited with interest. The Secretary defended the trusts and the Dingley tariff bill, indulged in a number of general statements in regard to the great interest his party took in the welfare of the workingman and probably pleased the trust magnates and the capitalists but woefully disappointed the advocates of tariff reform of which there is an immense number in the republican party thoroughout the west.
