Grover Cleveland|has come out in an endorsement for Judge Parker for president. This is a severe blow to Parker’s candidacy. CongressmanJE. D. Crumpacker was re-nominated for congress at LaPorte Tuesday, there being no opposition. F. C. Carson of Michigan City and R. S. Vanatta of Fowler were elected delegates to the national convention, with Harry Strohm of Kentland and Freemont Goodwine of |Williamsport, as alternates. A.JK. Sill of Monticello, was chosen as presidential elector. The Democrat has heard Capt. William Grithrie of Monticello, favorably mentioned as a desirable delegate to send from the Tenth district to the national democratic convention..slCapt. Guthrie is a high-minded democrat, a gentleman in every sense-of the word, and the democrats would be paying themselves and their state an honor in sending him to the national convention. In a small way they'would also be showing Mr. Guthrie their appreciation 'of the splendid campaign that he made two years ago against hopeless odds in this district.

United States Senator Burton of Kansas, convicted last week of corruption in office and sentenced to ten years in prison and fined SIO,OOO, is another Indiana product, having been born and reared in the Hoosier state, It would really seem that Indiana republicans have done a little more than their share of furnishing boodlers for public office, and is about time they called a halt. W. R. Hearst is entitled to a vote of thanks from the American people for his fight on the coal trust, wherein a decision was handed down in the United States Supreme court Monday, requiring the coal barons to produce their books and records and answer questions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Perhaps anyone else could have taken this matter into court and prosecuted it to a finish, but they didn’t do it.
