I WILL LKAKX (II R VAU K. In the campaign just finished the Independent has pursued an honest conviction without a single promise of pationage from a single candidate. Whether or not the democratic candidates and managers have appreciated our course, we do not know ; whether we have been bene
ficial in bringing about the results
we submit to the candidates themselves ; we expect to learn how much this paper and its influence has been appreciated by the future consideration accorded it. If the Independent is hereafter recognized with an equitable portion of patronage at the disposition of democratic county otricials and democratic workers, we will know that our efforts have been valued. The editor of this paper is selfish enough to desire a substantial appreciation of his labors and believes that in the future he will have no reason to complain.
The Chicago Democrat, until recently known as the Dispatch, has made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. For some reason the paper seems fated to go under, and in spite of the new blood and new life and higher tone which the proprietors put into it, it failed to make ends meet and the expenses exceeded the receipts. Although Chicago is a great city it seems to be a very poor field for a democratic paper, at least misfortune has overtaken most of the ventures in recent years. Three or four republican morning sheets and about as many evening papers of the same political faith seems to flourish.
H )ur condolence" published in another issue managed to fit. We were aware all the time that it would. While we were convinced that the majorities would be small, we did not feel like making such a statement before the polls were closed, but being on the inside, as Pete Kruyer wants us to put it, we knew all the time that there would be at least a small majority for every candidate. We hope that this will be I good explanation of our ill-timed condolence.
With the unnatural price for wheat caused by drouth in the old world and Mr. Leiter who bulled the market at a cost to his father of $,000,000: and with a foreign war which tended to draw the minds of the people from the money question, the republicans have notwithstanding, lost the lower house of congress and in no state have held their majority of two years ago. What can be expected two years from now when the tight will be upon the money question again with no distractions?
LOCAL BREVITIES.
Messrs. Porter, Wiltfong and Mickey made a splendid race. They were efeated but yet have no rea-so-feel ashamed of their vote It is iore than likely that they would ha -e pulled through had not they been handicapped by the abuse which their campaign organ heaped upon democrats. There were many democrats driven into line by the abusive personal campaign that the "Grinner" originated. The Independent desires to congratulate Mr. Porter and Mr. Wiltfong for their conduct in accepting defeat. Mr. Porter by his gentlemanly acceptance of the result made many friends at democratic headquarters this morning. The Independent regrets that it can not say as much for one of the defeated candidates, who came to this office this afternoon and made a "rosette" of himself.
While democrats are rejoicing, it might be well for them to consider what might have happened if the Independent had not taken a hand in the campaign. It would be a mean democrat that would refuse to show an appreciation of the Independent's efforts. At 10 Wednesday Frank Brooke changed color and let loose the remark that he was beginning to get interested in the returns. Later on he was in humor to head a brass band.
The Plymouth News has the nerve to appropriate the national Pag to announce a republican victory. Certainly no party should thus desecrate the national emblem.

Sir
The medical society will meet at the ollice of Dr. iiorton tomorrow after noon, at which a number of papers will
be read. CO. Davis and family, who have been visitiu? L. II. Kenton here, returned to their home in South Bend this noon. Dr. Charles Camp of Camden, Ind., father of Mrs. C. W. Metsker, was the republican candidate in Carroll oonntj for state representative. He was defeated by 90 majority. The same consolation the Independent extends him that it tendered Wiltfong and I'orter. Unfortunately, he, like them, has tied his hopes to the wrong political kite. The Lady Maccabees of RochesUr were present with the Plymouth Hive, No. 25, last, evening. Not being sure of their coming, the committee had not arranged or prepared to meet them, but they were not slow in doing their duty after they arrived. Supper was prepared at Albert s restaurant after which all were taken to the hall for their meeting. The drill work was given in honor of the visiting ladies. All reported a delightful time, and at a late hour departed for their homes.
A new scheme is being worked at Goshen by a stranger, by which several Goshenites expect to get something for nothing. He claims to represent a Chicago house, and seile what he terms "diamond bonds." The payment of 6 when the contract is signed, and a stipulated sum per month until $38 is paid, gives the buyer the ownership of the bond. He is informed that when the full amount is paid he can have his choice of either a 875 diamond or :?r0 in casi. The stranger is finding the field profitable.
