Hammond politicians have not yet got over talking about the keynote speech of Hon. Thos. R. Marshall delivered at Richmond, Ind., the other night. The democrats are delighted with it and the republicans view it with trepidation. It is the same way all over the state. Recognition of its strength and the possibility of democratic success this year is everywhere conceded.—Lake County Times (Rep.)

The National Convention in Chicago next week will be the fourteenth for the republicans, and the National Convention in Denver next month will be the twenty-first for the democrats. The first organization of a National Committee occurred in 1848, at the Democratic National Convention. Eight years later the Whigs became tie Repub-

lican party and elected their National Committee at the convention of that year.

Our friend Geo. B. Pox is candidate for commissioner on the democratic ticket. George would make a number one commissioner but we are afraid that he Is on the wrong ticket to win.—Goodland Herald. Perhaps George is not on the wrong ticket after all this year. The people of Jasper county are doing some thinking for themselves. Even the Heralds admits George would make a number one sloner. „

Cream and butter shippers are likely to be treated to a great surprise one of these days that will make them open their eyes. Last fall the railroads gave notice that they intended raising the rates on inllk and butter, and as the schedule raised the rates from 100 to 125 per cent, the big milk men north and west of Chicago applied for and obtained an injunction preventing the roads from putting the new rates in force. The roads have taken the position that the federal courts have no jurisdiction in this matter, until after the Interstate Commerce Commission have first heard and determined it. The matter comes up today in Chicago and an early decision is expected.

For some days it has been said that if W. J. Bryan captured the delegate vote of Kentucky he would have the two thirds necessary to insure his nomination by the Democrats for President at Denver. The results of the mass conventions held in the 119 counties of the commonwealth Saturday dispelled any doubt that any one might have had relative to Bryan’s* strength in Kentucky. Every county that instructed its delegates at all instructed them to vote for Democrats to represent the state at large who would cast their votes in the national convention for the Nebraskan. County after county that did not instruct its delegates for Beckam, McCreary, Paynter, James or any of the other candidates for delegate at large, instructed them to vote for Bryan delegates. In no instance was there an exception to this rule, or a voice against Bryan's nomination. Therefore, so far as Kentucky is concerned. Bryan can consider that the 2t> votes of that state are tucked away in an Inside pocket, and they will he at his command from the time National Chairman Taggart calls the Denver convention to order until the Nebraskan shall have been nominated.
