Chicago puts up $75,000 and will get the next republican national convention. The assets in the recent W. D. Foresman failure at Foresman are said to be about $19,000, while the liabilities are about $23,000. Goodland parties were creditors to the amount of about $5,000; the bank of Brook, $12,000; and Chicago parties several thousand. The elevator and land was deeded to the Bank of Brook, which wonld have made its loss smaller, but the other creditors raised a kick and the bank had to compromise with them. The democratic state committee met at Indianapolis Monday and among other things fixed the dates for holding meetings for electing new district ohairmen. The prmaries to select delegates to tbe various district conventions will be be held next Saturday, Deo. 26, and our own district contention to elect a successor to Chairman Dan Simms of Lafayette, will be held at Lafayette, Jan. 7. We understand that Mr. Simms will not be a candidate for re-election. The state committee endorsed Hon. Thomas Taggart for national chairman.

The Democrat a few days ago received a lengthy communication from Zion City concerning the recent financial trouble there, but owing to our limited space we are compelled to omit the publication of same. The final adjustment of tbe difficulty tends to show that Dr. Dowie was unfairly treated in the matter. It is also evident that Dowie has been more misrepresented and lied about than any man in the country. The Democrat does not take much stock in the Dowie religions faith, but there are some things about the city he has founded, especially its moral tone, that is to be admired. We would rather see the city prosper than see it go to ruin and decay, and if Dowie’s subjects are satisfied with the status of affairs there, the publio ought to be, so long as the present moral tone of the place is maintained.
