It would appear that Allen county Democrats could find some other man beside Henry Coleriek to represent them in the National convention. 1t would-seem that the honor should be passed around. That the Colericks represent all of the unalloyed Democraasy of the district is not admitted nor can it be proven. - < ' v . RRR R RR - ; : _lnlooking over the list of Democrats selecte®l to go to Indianapolis as delegates to the state convention from Noble county, we can. not helieve but that they will act for the best interests of the democratic party. We do not think that they will stand for any man’s dictation or direction. ;

Walter Brown, the Elkhart politician and bank wrecker who is now in the Leavenworth prison where he will serve out an eight years’ sentence, i beeame very bitter in his denuneciation of his country and its institutions " after his sentence. If he had been correctly quoted he said that as a liberty mhhing nation, Ameriea is not much better than Russia. ‘I want iy hoyto urow up and lose his American citizenship as soon as he can,” Mr. " Brown is reported as saying.. Mr. Brown had been a prominent republican —politician, practically the republican boss of KElkhart county and he was a shining example of the republican patriot, He sang the praises of republican institutions and glorified the republican party and its policies. He took _advantage of his prominence, his easy access to other people’s money and the contldence of his party associates, to exploit his party and to rob his friends. He was caught and like many other men who have ‘‘felt the halte draw,” he has a poor opinion 4f the law.a : : . ) TR R R R R - , Senator Crumbaker of Kvansville was one of the leaders in the state zenate at the last session of the general assembly. It was his vote that defeated the bill to allow Sunday afternoon base ball playing under certain restrictions. It seems that Crumbaker had promised to vote for the bill but at the last moament turned tail and desertxd the base ball enthusiasts. Flrey had their inning at the republican convention, 'lu)wever.' for Crum- ~ bakér was defeated for renomination after a stubborn fight. ~ The sdlection of delegates last Saturday settled the question as far as fHearst is concerned in the congressional districts“outside of the Tenth, Twedfth and Thirteenth districts. So far Hearst has not secured a delegate vote. [n the lirst or Evangville district where he was thought to be strongest, he cut a sorry figure, and in Charley Neal’s district, the Ninth, the Parker I‘urées won, hands down. - ‘ : The New York Times isflaltagethér happyfover the result' of the democratie state convention. It sums up the situation as follows: ; " The Democrats of New York present a conservative candidate upon a conservative platform. To use the time honored phrase, they hgve sounded a key-note” for the campaign which will be heard with satisfaction wherever genuilie Democracy exists and the well triéd principles of the party are _dield inrespect. : ‘ Gl ; R RERRRE - P . All the decent people of thie country are rejoicing at the prospective suceess of Mr. Folk in winning the dempocratic nomination for governor in - Missouri, which is tantamiount to an election. The New York Times says: A 8 the situation now is, Mr. Folk will receive the nomination, which is equivalent to an eleetion. 1t is astriking demonstration of the familiar, long-established, usually-forgotten lesson of democratic institutions, that in the long run the voters get about what they really wish, and sooner-or latér they really wish the right thing. S - ' se® 2w - . People have grown so accustomed to delays in the opening of great fairs that these are now taken for granted, perhaps with too little reason. At every large exposition held in America—and this country is no exception—there has been disappointment and delay. Something of the kind isexpected at St Louis when the exposition is formally opened next Saturday, ‘but the show will be nearer completion than has ever been the case before. s I one way the exposition has been ready for weeks. The officials have completed on time every task for which they can fairly be held responsible. It is and has been for a long time, “up to” the exhibitors, to the men who - long ag) received space reservations but delayed shipping theirexhibits till the last ‘minute. Manufacturers were apparently too busy filling orders to think of the approaching fair and the result, as usual, is congestion and confusion which might easily have been avoided. e : In spité of all this, early visitors will see in St. Louis an exposition which surpasses all its predecessors in' magnitude, novelty and quality. The Chicago fair has been outstripped both in area of grounds mu,z size and number of buildings, and in effects the Buffalo exposition has been'outdone. ~'l'he ever memorable Midway of Chieago n: eclipsed py the St. Louis Pike. ~ 'T'he entire exposition has grown to almost double the size ‘contemplased when-the movement was first started. » - o Another condition that augurs well ‘for the St. Louis exposition is the general finarcial and commercial state of the country as compared with that prevailing in 1893. The country is prosperous and confident that presperity s not to be interrupted, whereas eleven years ago the rumbling of the coming storm could pe heard. People as a rulé haye quite as much money -to gpend and, moreover, have acquired the exposition habit and the travel - habit. When President Roosevelt on Saturday next pushes the button that will set the machinery ih motion in St. Louis he will inaugurate the greatest of ‘all world’s fairs and the one of which the American people are, on the whole, best able to avail themselves. = ' - L B RRRRR e

Walter Wellman, telegraphing from Washington to the Chicago Record- I Herald, says: ¢‘Since the first of January W. R. Hearst has spent in Ixisl p\lrguit'oi the pfesidency' an average.of about $15,000 a‘day. This statement wag made to me in New York last week by a man who is in position to know what he is talking about, as he is well informed as to what is goingl on in Mr. Hearst’s newspaper office and politcal shop. Fifteen thousands dollars a day for about a hundred days.amounts to a round million and a half dollars, not counting the large sums spent before the first of the year.” This is a pretty heavy investment in the fad of a young man who has been accustomed to buy whatever he wanted in this world, and there may be.some truth in the ramors flying about New York City that Mr, Hearst is preity near the end of his rope,so far as ready maney is concerned. For all this enormous outlay the self-made candidate has to show, up to date, just thirty-two delegates to the national democratic convention, i

It may be that he will reach 150 delegates but conservative friends even figure it lower than that. This would make the price about $lO,OOO a piece. When it is taken into consideration that his strength will be less than one sixth of the convention it looks like a bad investment. The money that has come to Indiana, so far, seems to have tal}en into good hands, like the geed that falls among the rocks. : : :

Fhe nomination of J. Frank Hanley for governor of Indiana by the Republicans shows the tendency of the republican party. No.party has ever presentéd a candidate of Hanley’s calibre to the voters of the state for the high office that he seeks. J. Frank Hanley, governor of Indiana! Shades of Morton, Lane and Hendricks, deliver us. . ;

PARKER IN THE LEAD - - l)e;lmcrz\tlc Counties Go Against Hearst—- : Looks Like a Landslide. In the primaries.eld last Saturday in sevéral counties of the state for the election of delegates to the demoeratic state convention the tickets favorable to Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, were triumphant at the polls. Advices received show that the overwhelming sentiment of the Democrats of these counties was expressed unequivocally in favor of the Néw York jurist. Aided by a plentifel supply of money in every county, the Hearst ‘managers made vigorous tights and 1n some mass conventions finding themselves away in the minority, seceded and endeavored to hold rival gatherings. Parker delegates were electfed in Gibson, Ripley, Montgomery, Hamilton, Parke, Hancock, Vigo, Cass and Hunttington counties. 7

The only county that Hearstcarried was Jay, and the figures there stood 9to Gin favor of the journalist candidate. Hamilton county, in the Ninth district, was solid for Parker. In Montgomery, Parker got twelve delegates and Hearst nine. The Ninth district is now sure for Parker. In Vigo county thirty-seven delegates for Parker were selected . and instructed for the New Yorker. A nuinber of Hearst enthusiasts became boisterous in the convention and endeavored to create a disturbance and to prevent the transaction ,of business, but failing this effort, a small minority left the convention hall, refusing to participate further in its proceedings. - 4 : . The result of the primaries in Allen county next Saturday will settle the question in thisdistriect. Henry Colerick is the Hearst candidate while A. E. Melching, ex-sheriff and a popular Democrat, is the %candidate of the opposition. The delegates elected so far show a majority for Hearst but not of the magnitude claimed by. the Hearst boomers. ~ Both sides claim Allen county and the contest promises to be spirited. . Hearst’s paid agents are very active but the friends of Mr. Melching claim that his election is assured. If Colerick is defeated in Allen, the delegates from this district will be A. E. Melching and Col. S. J. Straus of this city.

New Law for Rural Mai}Curriers. T'ie new law govering rural carriers will go into effect on” July 1. On and after July 1, rural mail carriers will not bé permitted to act as agents for newspapers, persons, firms or corporations. Itis yet to be determined just how far they may go in performing private service for patrons on their routes at the request of the patrons. . = The following provision has now been agreed to by both senate and house, and cannot be altered in conference; ‘‘Carriers shall not solicit business or recuiv%n‘ders of any kind for any persons, firm or corporation, and shall not during their hours of employment carry any merchadise for hire.”’ ; " :

It will be for the conference committee to be composed of three senators and three representatives to decide whether the state proviso or the house proviso to the above provision shall be-adopted. G :

The senate proviso as finally agreed to in that body is as follows: Provided, that said carriers may carry merchandise for hire and receive subscriptions forand deliver newspapers magazines and other periodicals for and upon request of patrons residing upon their respective routes whenever the same shall not interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties and under such regulations as the postmaster general may preseribe and not otherwise; and provided further, that no carrier shall refuse to deliver or take orders or subscriptions for any merchandise, newspaper or periodical requested by and patron on his route, subject to the laws of the United I’States, and the regulations of thel postmastergeneral. - f’ .

Green was connected with the arrangement by which Calvin Fisher and H. C. MeDaniel were compelled to accept 60 cents per perch for about 300 perch of stone delivered at the water works plant, it i 8 in justice to Mr. Green that we make the following explanation: Mr. Green says that the stone were delivered by Messrs. Fisher and MecDaniel -after a conversation with these gentlemen in which it was understood that the city would hardly pay more than 65 cents per perch. That they wanted to put the stone on the ground at the time owing to the fact that they would be able to handle them to much better advantage owing to the condition of theroads, Mr. Green acquiesced in this arrangement, but it was understood on his part that these gentlemen would file bids for the stone the same as other interested parties. After the stone were delivered Fisher and McDaniel wanted their money and came to Mr. Green who informed them that -the stone would be accepted by the city only after bids were filed. He explained that the law made it imperative that bids be advertised for before any material could be bought. But he told them that they might be able to get the money or near the price promised by making an arrangement with some individual who would have to take his chances to get rid of the material to the city.. This was done, Mr. Stansbury advancing ; the money at the rate of 60 cents per perch. : :

“The talk about this matter calls out this statement and to show that the matter has been amicably arranged the following statementis submitted: - To The Public, In order to rectify some statements being circulated concerning Calvin Fisher, H. C.-McDaniel, we wish to make the following statement: In a convergation held bétween the above named parties it was understood that the first two were to receive 656 cents aperchTor stone delivered by them for the new water-works buildings, but when bids were adyertised for, through a mis-understanding that it was necessary for them to put in bids, no bids werereceived from the aboue gentlemen, and the city not re-adver-tising for bids until about four weeks ago, the above parties could not put their bid for what stone they had already hauled, and wanting their money KFred H. Green made arrangements with C. R. Stm{xsbury to pay them for the stone at 60 cents a perch.’ : : ]
