HeOivesllis Political I n predion to Ft. Wayne .Journal. The Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette published the following interview with C. P. Drummond in Wednesday's bj&ue: Senator CP. Drummond, of Plymouth, democratic candidate for attorney general of Indiana, airived inihe city at 7:10 last evening via the Nickel Plate and spent the night at the Aveline. He came from Argos, where he had been visiting with his mother for a few days, and leaves e.t 7:10 this morning for Hartford Cl'y, to attend the Eighth district congressional convention. He retired early, and was seen while in bed by a Journal-Gazette representative. He said that he had Deen very much encouraged by the political outlook over the state wherever he has been. Democrats are united and determined, and the dissatisfaction over the war policy of the McKinley administration is by no means limited to democrats, either. Imperialism and trusts are. the questions which are arousing the people to arms, and he is confident that it will be a victory for the people in November, regardless of politics. People say they are tired of war, and this sentiment bodes no good to the party of war and conquest. His impression of the democratic platform mul the ticket is that neither could have by no method been improved upon. There id no declaration of principles in the platform to which every democrat cannot utter a hearty amen, and he believes that it will receive the enthusiastic support, not only of the millions who supported Bryan in 18, but the wandererB who departed from the "straight and narrow path" in that campaign will again find their way back to the fold, flanked by former republicans who at heart do not approve of the present administration. There will be no gold democratic party in the field, but those who were for McKinley in 18, under the thin guise of gold democracy, will be either outspoken for Bryan or McKinley this fall. Mr. Bryan will undoubted be the next president and Indiana will be one of the states to help elevate him to that position. TOO MANY. Free llural Kotites Have Iteen (irauted to Indiana. Order have been issued to the postoffice department that no more free rtuoi u?uei lu.ttcs ibill j granted for Ohio and indiaua. it truo Indiana has fared well in the allowance of rural routes. Hut the announce ment that no more will be granted will meet with regret on the part of Mar shall county people. Think Well of lir. How er. The Flkhart Iteview, ardent Republican paper that it is, doesn't hesitate to speak kindly of Dr. C. C. Power, the democratic nominee for congress in this district. That paper says: Dr. C. C. Power, of this city, was selected by the democracy of the Thirteenth congressional district as their candidate for congress in the coming campaign. The honor came unsought 1 1 the doctor, and is nil th more honor for that. To be selected as a candidate by the delegates of the seven counties is an honor, to be selected in one's absence and without any preliminary canvass is still more of an honor. Dr. Bower is a democrat of strong party attachments and is always known as a staunch defender of the policy of that party. He is a fitting choice on the platform of the National party, and is an ardent friend of Pryan. County Salary IMan. Before adjournment Saturday the state fee and salary commission decided to recommeud to the next legislature that the county clerks of the Ptate receive fixed salaries at the rate of 10 cents per capita up to 10,000 population and 7 cents per capita thereafter, with an addition of 10 per cent of all fees collected by them. It was likewise de termined to recommend that the county auditor should receive fixed salaries equal to the fixed salaries of the clerks, with an amount equal to 10 per cent of the school fund interest collected by the auditors. Sheriffs, under the plan, are to receive fixed salaries on the same per capita basis as the clerks, and 10 per cent of all tees the sheriffs collect. The plan, however, is only tentative and may be revised at a later meeting of the commission. Obituary. Mrs. Kliza Harrison died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles JetTriei, in Chesterton, Ind., Saturday, July 14, at U a. m. Mrs. Harrison resided with her on-in-law, F. M. Axe, during his several years residence in this city, and will be remembered by many of our people as a gentle, refined and lovable lady.

Pourbon, Ind., July 1U The Bourbon college and school of music building was dedicated with addresses by ex-Congreesman L. W. Royce and the Hon. Samuel Parker, of Plymouth. Mr. Hoyse discussed "The Citizen," and Mr. Parker took for his theme "Preparation." The field day exercises embraced a ball game between Kewanna and the college team, the former winning by a score of 10 to 2. A üew bell was also placed ia the tower, the tones of which can be heard for miles. The recital by the school of music last night was an unusual affair, in the respect of placing three of its etudents in the class of professions by their performance. They were IL M. Tebay, of Pennsylvania, basso; Miss Hazel NelT, of Plymouth, soprano, and James O. Parks, of Plymouth, tenor. Mr. Parks Cc.u honors of the veninor Skull Pierced by a Pitch Fork. Near Liberty Mills lives a horse dea!?r and farmer named I'inney. Thursday evening, while Mr. Pinney was loading hay on a wagon in the field, his 11 year-old son, Claude, was lying on the ground near the wagon, and Mr. Pinney, not noticing the boy, threw his pitchfork to the ground, one of the tines piercing the skull and entering the brain near the temple. The boy was carried to the house and medical aid was called At last accounts the boy was still alive, but little hopes were entertained of his recovery. Warsaw TimeB. Platform all Plulit. The stalwart Republican Indianapolis Journal pays the democratic platform the following well deserved compliment: It is in order to congratulate the democrats upon their ollicial utterances as a piece of literature. It is what the republican platform is not, a remarkably well-written paper. It was constructed by men who knew how to express what they had to say effectively and they have produced a piece of campaign literature which will be quoted from liberally by the democratic spell-binder. Former M'Klnley Men to Support Itryan. Robert Mitchell, of Princeton, Ind., who was once a candidate for secretary of state on the republican ticket, has declared for Bryan. Charles L. Wedding, an attorney of Lvansville and a gold democrat, is in line for Bryan and Stevenson. Supt. Jones, of the Mt. Vernon schools, will support Pryan this year. Leroy Templeton, a middle-of-the-road populist, has declared that he will support Bryan and Stevenson. Dr. A. R. Tucker and ex-Department Commander Caylor, of Noblesvllle, both republican leaders in the ninth congressional district, will co-operate with the democrats in etTorts to elect Capt. Allen to congress. F.illtorlal C'ourteH-. This is the sweet and generous way in which the Benton county editors live at peace and harmony with each other: There was a bad smell in the back otlice of the Review this week and it was thought a rat had decomposed. On examination it was found that one of Bob Cox's editorials had crawled under the floor and died. Benton Review.

RATIFICATION AT LAPOKTE.

Fx-Lleuteuaut-fiovernor Nye Preside at Democratic Open Air .Meeting. The democracy of Laporte and Michigan City united in a monster demonstration at Laporte Saturday night in ratification of the nomination of Pryan and Stevenson. A special train brought 500 democrats from Michigan City, headed by a band, and a large parade moved through the principal streets of the city. There was an elaborate display of fireworks, cannon boomed, and the demonstration was the most enthusiastic witnessed since the Tilden campaign. The speaker of the evening was the Hon B. F. Shively, of South Pend. There was not a hall large enough in the city to hold the people who wanted to hear him, and the meeting was held in the open air. Kx-Lieu-tenant Governor Nye, credited with being a gold democrat, presided. He assailed the imperialistic policy of the McKinley administration and voiced the sentiments of the mammouth meefingby declaring that the republic should be maintained and the rights and liberties of the people preserved. There were other short speeches, and until a late hour the city was in possession of the shouting democrats. I'olttica! Note. George W. (Hover, of Oakland City, has been nominated for congress by the prohibitionists of the First disLict. Thomas Taggart has received the information that Bourke Cockran and John DeWitt Warner will speak in the Indiana campaign. Warner is a recent convert from the gold democrat fold. The democrats of Greenfield ratified the nomination of Bryan and Stevenson Monday night. Judge Davis S. Gooding presided, and speeches were made by John W. Kern, George E. Farrar and Henry Seyfned, of Indianapolis, and C. A. Robinson, of Greenfield. The democrats of Cas county have nominated the following ticket: Judge, John M. Lairy; prosecuting Bttoney, Williard C. Fiizet ; representative, Geo. W. Rurkhart; tr-urer, Frar.k Obenchain; sheriff, N oleon B. Richson; coroner, Dr. C. D. Smith; surveyor, James A Peal; assessor, August Gleitz; commissioner, Second district, Terrence A. McGovern; commissioner, Third district, Henderson Fickle. Drummers Nearly Ail for Itryan TItis Time. j, 1. 11 atneiu, uuo vi i.v . . , . j ing democratic traveling men, was a caller at democratic state headquarters yesterday. He says thousands of traveling men who voted for McKinley in 18 have their eyes opened now and will support Pryan and Stevenson this year. "They were fooled in 18.," said he. but they cannot be fooled this time. They will support the democratic ticket almost to a man. In my travels over the country 1 talk s great deal with traveling men and I find they are all satisfied with the Kansas City ticket and platform. In my judgment, it is the best ticket and platform ever placed before the American people." (iood Outs Crops. The oats crop in this vicinity is exceedingly good and the prospects for a large yield were never better than at the present time. The frequent rains in May and June have had a good effect not only on the oats, corn and potato crops, but all vegetation. The seeding ot fields to clover and timothy is also very fine. The fruit crops are also good and the prospects for a large yield of apples are flattering. The farmer has little cause for complaint this year. Itailway Franchise Oranted. The Laport6 county commissioners late yesterday afternoon granted a franchise to the Laporte & Michigan City railway company. The company will deposit a forfeiture of $1,000, and the road must be in operation by January 1, 1901. The company is ready to begin construction at once. Two Minor Accidents. Pourbon, Ind., July 19.
