In the .evening the family had busied themselves in their usual way for the evening preceoding the Sabbath. Their frieuds to the number of .seventy-thru or more were very active in the assembling at the home of Dr. LaMar from whence they would emerge in a body to surprise the parson and his good wife who has stood beside him faithfully and lovingly for,the past twenty-five years, lu honor of the occasion a beautiful gift had been brought—a silver tea service consisting ot four pieces with a solid silver cream ladle and sugar spoon. Mrs. Walker made the presentation speech addressing them iuxbehalf of their many friends in words most beautiful and appropriate. Rev. Andersou responded in his usual bright and easy way. All joined in singing “Blessed Be The Tide That Binds.” At the close of which all bowed in a prayer led by Mrs. Thos. Read. It .was a happy time long to be remembered by all. el would rather trust that medicine than any dootor I know of,” says Mrs. Hattie Mason, of Chilton, Carter, Co., Mo., in speaking of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

IS If the Democrats of Indiana bnt Do Their Daly. The Republicans Are Running From the Issues. AMd Disease the Beal OrnttoM of th. Dnj—The Ham of Factory Wheels Drowns the Shriek of the Calamity Howler—The People Alarmed by the Republican Threat to Repeal Wise laws Placed on the Statute Books by Democrats—Chairman Taggart Reviews the Situation.

“Coming our way, sure!” This was the response made the other day by Bon. Thomas Taggart, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, to an inquiry as to the way things political were going in Indiana. “I am free to confess,” he continued, “that 60 or even 30 days ago the outlook was gloomy enough far the grand old Democracy of the state. Business was dull, the Republicans were jubilant and confident and Democrats seemed listless and uninterested. It did look then as if there was some reason for the boastful claims of our friends—the enemy—that they would oarry the state without much effort. “But that was some weeks ago. The situation has undergone a complete reversal. Instead of being doubtful or despondent Democrats are now hopeful and confident. So complete has been the change that I now feel absolutely certain that we will carry the state by a substantial majority, and that Indiana will have as many Democratic congressmen in the next house as we have in the present one. The legislature will be Democratic by a safe and sufficient majority, insuring the retention on the statute books of all those wise and beneficial laws which have been placed there by Democratic legislatures in the past. Reasons For Confidence. “There are a good many reasons for this changed aspect of affairs,” said Mr. Taggart in reply to further questions. “First and foremost among these may be placed the business revival which has followed so closely on the enactment of the new tariff law, and of whioh the evidences are to be seen on every hand. Early in the campaign the Republicans were charging all the hard times to the attitude of the Democrats on the tariff question. Since then, however, the people have had time to think. They nave come to a realization of the fact that the panic of last year and the continuing depression were Vht the legitimate climax of the system of legislation which the Republicans, so long intrenched in power in the national government, had fastened upon the people. “The people, too, are learning that freer trade, brought about be reforming the tariff laws, is doing all that Democrats have claimed it would do in the past. It is setting in motion the machinery of the factories, giving employment to tens and hundreds and thousands erf people who had been idle under the system of protection, is cheapening the price of the necessaries of life and increasing the price of farm produce. It is putting commercial travelers on the road again and filling the stores of the merchants with customers. These things are rapidly answering the ‘calamity howling’ of the Republicans and thus rendering useless their sole argument.

•■xnese iacts serve to remma tne people of what a return of the Republican party to power in the national government would mean. And the people don’t wish a return to Republicanism and Republican hard times. Then again the people are reviewing the work of congress and finding it good. They find in it fulfillment of the party pledges to oonserve the people’s interests, to smash the trusts ana monopolies and to reduce the national expenditures, which had grown to such enormous proportions under Republican rule. They begin to realize that their only hope of good government lies in the retention of the Democracy in power. These reflections are causing a return to their party allegianeeof all those who, through personal disappointments, had become disaffected or apathetic. Th« People Are Thinking. “Another thing which is aiding the Democracy is the attitude of the Republican party on matters of state polioy. Democratic legislatures have made a wonderful record in placing good laws on the statute books and in taking bad ones off. The Republicans have very unwisely chosen merely to stand in opposition to the Democracy’s attitude. They have pledged themselves to repeal all the good Democratic legislation of the past and this threat has thoroughly alarmed the peo£e. The masses are pleased with the bor laws, the election laws, the school book laws, the tax laws, the laws governing the charitable institutions of Indiana, and they are not ready to part with them. The aggressive declaration by the Republicans of their intention to repeal these laws has aroused the people and has done much to improve Democratic prospects. “We are getting convincing proof of the improved Democratic prospects eveijr day. Where a few weeks ago we were unable to draw crowds to our meetings we are now having difficulty in finding enough speakers to meet the demands or sufficient hall room to aooommodate the crowds which turn out to hear them. Everywhere the interest of Democrats is aroused to a high pitch, the ranks are dosing up and we are presenting a united, solid front to the enemy. “Again I may say that victory is within our grasp. All we need now is conscientious, painstaking work all along the line and we will sweep the state next month. The Republicans are on the defensive now; they have sneaked away from every issue presented; have refused to meet them on the stump or through the press, and are only hoping to win the day by the aid of the taxdodging corporations and the apathy of Democrats. They understand thoroughly that they are in the minority in Indiana and that if the Democrats turn out at the polls they are hopelessly beaten. The Democracy has the victory won if it will only take advantage of the situation.

Patoka Painter*. Our agriculturalists are about through wheat sowing. All our schools are now in progress. There Is much sickness among us. Typhoid lever being the prevailing ailment. Bobert Beadles of nearfetendal, visited in these parts last week. Our republicans had a freeze-out at Ayrshire last Monday evening About twenty voters, candidates, politicians and sohemers met on the above occasion for the pur-, pose of ,what thev chose to name a Heraenway olub. By the way there was little or no Hemenway in the elub The sum and substance so far as results are concerned was a few words by the republican candidates present. The voters present were cohapletely and sincerely begged to attach their names to the Hemenway paper to support the party but few accepted the offer. Such were the transactions which passed at the hall room, but I am not able to describe what took place at other quarters of the town. Any way the Hemenway club was left out in the cold. In short Ayrshire lends a cool, shoulder to republicans. My republican friends come out to Ayrshire next Monday evening and hear Mr. Taylor discuss the issues of the day. He will treat them fairly and squarely for he is the most judioiouB congressman we have had for years. He knows how things stand and will describe in full to you the remedy. Come and hear him it will give you some chance to meditate.
