The republican push went to Goshen yesterday to see the party boss. It is well that all should become better acquainted with the man that dominates McKinley and the republican party.

Our offerings are a study in economics. . M. Jacoss & Co. Everybody should vote for Orlando P. Myers of Wayne township, for county assessor. He will make a popular officer and will fill the place to the advantage of the taxpayers of the county. A vote for Myers will be a vote for a good Demoerat and a first-class citizen. 4

STRATUS BRO'S. & CO., Ligonier, Ind.

Do not fail to hear Hon. Thos. R. Marshall next Saturday evening. This will close the campaign. Everybady should hear Mr. Marshall, he is one of the most eloquent speakers in the state. Vote for Henry Bortner for county surveyor. He is competent and will look after the interests of the taxpayers. He will not need a deputy to do his ditch work. He will do it and do it well. Vote for Bortner The big democratic meeting a{Goshen last Thursday was a most gratifying suceess and the Democrats of our neighboring city are congratulating themselves that they have completely out done their opponents as far as demonstrations are concerned, ~Among the recent conversions to Bryan we note with pleasure that of A. C. Mills of North Manchester, a boy-hood friend of the writer, who has always until now, been an uncompromising Republican. Mr. Mills will vote for Bryan on account of the imperialistic tendency of his party. :

The first of a series of dances to be given at the Elks Home, was held last Tuesday evening and was the most successful affair of the kind ever held in Ligonier. Nearly one hundred guests were present and: the beautiful rooms presented an animated appearance. The music was furnished by the Elk orchestra and was highly complimented by all.

Eli B. Gerber is entitled to the votes of our people irrespective of party. No man has done more to build up our city and county than Mr: Gerber. He is alwaysidentified with enter%)rises that are for the best interests of our communitv, He isa progressive citizen and a legislator who has had the experience necessary to make his influénce felt. Vote for Eli B. Gerber. The republican Sush seem to think that the betting odds makes the election sure. The older voters will remember that in 1884 the odds were as strong in favor of Blaine as they are now for MeKinley, and Cleveland was elected. In 1888 the odds were strongly in favor of Cleveland and Harrison won. In 1892 everybody wanted to back Harrison for re-elec-‘tion and he lost. So you see, in the light of past events, the betting odds i 8 no good indication of how an elec-

Republican county candidates are around asking Democrats for their votes and they doubtless will get democratic votes, but, in the meantime, the republican organs are using all of their influence toward getting the members of the party to yote the ‘‘straight’’ ticket. John M. Bontrager of Eden township, Lagrange county, has been adjudged insane, caused by excessive use of liquors. Since his insanity he has developed a mania for murder. Monday he attempted suicide by hanging, but was cut down by his wife before he succeeded in his purpose. The Fairbanks crowd here charge that Thompson put in the time after the announcement of the Fairbanks meeting, throwing cold water on the affair. Well, somebody must have stood in with the ice trust, for common water would not have produced the chill that pervaded the atmosphere. It was ice cold water. Two years ago Andrew U. Miller got 200 democratic votes in this part of the county. He was running for county treasurer on the republican ticket. Richard Sweetnam who is now asking for the same office, as a democratic candidate, is éentitled to as kind treatment at the hands of his rgfublican friends as was given Mr. Miller.

The odds of two to one on Indiana were offered and some of the stuff was covered.

Every Democrat should be sure that he knows how to fix' his ballot. If you do not know, that is if you are not sure you know how, ask some one who does, for the information.

The shoe department at E. Jacobs & Co’s, is offering some big inducements these days. Have you seen the new styles for the ladies, cheaper than at any other place in the city and the best shoes ever offered for the money. { Quite a number of our Democrats will go to Topeka tonight where they will attend the speech of - Will H. Shinn of Lagrange and take partin the demonstrations. Any one wishing to go should apprise the committee as early as possible. A telegram from Muncie says: “One year ago Rev. E. F. Hasty, retired Methodist minister, started out to raise $lOO,OOO, the interest to be used for the support ot superannuated ministers and widows of ministers who are indlifent.

-The republican meeting at City Hall, Friday evening was well attended, the best meeting so far held by the Republicans. Many Democrats were there having come in to hear Major Barker who had been advertised for a speech for the same night. Taylor’s speech was a typical republican protest against Bryan and his arguments. It was of no avail however.

No man who has asked political preferment in Noble county has ever made a better im}gression among the voters than Jos. K. Homsher of Albion, the- democratic candidate for sheriff. He is a splendid fellow, well qualified for the place and a citizen above reproach. If he is elected he will make and ideal sheriff. Active, energetic, intellicent and courageous, he can not help but fill the office with credit to himself and to the | party. Vote for Joe Homsher. ) Democrats and Republicans alike should vote for Henry Bluhm for Recorder. He is a poor man who has made a living for himself and his parents for years, notwithstanding his terrible affliction, being very badly crippled in both legs. He is ‘a most competent man and if elected will make an efficient officer. He is entitled to the vate of every Democrat in the county and also of the Republicans, He mneeds the ?]osition and his friends are asking the support of all. - Mr. George Billings of Washington, D. C.,is in the city and some say that he intends to offer his vote, Mr. Billings is no more a voter in Ligonier than he is in Chicago. He left here to take up his residence in Washington, sold everything and made no claim of holding residence. He located in Washington where he accepted a position in a mercantile concern. Later, he got a government position and now claims that he can vote here on that account. He lost his residence long before he seoured the government position. Several f'ears ago when A. W. Parsons, who 8 in the government service, offered to vote here he was refused on the frguuds of non-residence and not alowed to cast his ballot. .
