FOB CORONER. Please announce the name of Orace D. Harris of Jefferson township, as a candidate for county coroner subject to the decision of the democratic county convention. By the way. how about that Turkish indemnity, Mr. HayV Isn't the month of grace up yet? Will the “bosses'* control the republican convention Saturday? The light is on. and from the looks of things the “slate” is liable to be broken. Whethkk the man now on trial at Frankfort was guilty of murdering Goebel or not. there is ample proof that the murder was .committed as a result of a conspiracy by-the republican office holders of the state.

J. N. Ki.\man, who has been seeking the republican nomination for sheriff, has withdrawn from the race, and left Wednesday to resume his position in Tennessee. He was confident that he would receive the nomination. __ The gold democrats .are coming back to the democracy. They have refused to put up a third ticket, which would mean a good many half votesi for McKinley, and will go each man, to the side where his predilections lead him. But few indeed will go to the republicans. J vOOSKVEi/i' has made his first break and Hanna is terribly worried by it, and by the certainty that the rough rider will mal^e many another before the campaign is over. This fact may explain why the great boss so bitterly fought Roosevelt's nomination and yielded only when face to face with open .defeat.> The republican county convention will be' held at Winslow next Saturday. (general Thompson will have his hands full on’ that day. The •‘bosses" and those opposed to "bossism'’ are fightii\g each other to a standstill and a lively time is looked for. The candidates are whooping things up in a lively manner. Massachusetts disfranchises all citizens who cannot read and write and who do not pay taxes on a specified amount of property. Why should such a law be considered proper and right in Massachusetts anu improper and wrong in.any southern state? Has the fact that the politics of the two sections are different, anything to do with it? __. I * There seems to be considerable trouble within the republican ranks in Pike county. During the past week two of the leading candidates, have withdrawn. Of course the “bosses’’ will say that everything is lovely and that the count}r is solidly republican, but at this stage of the game it looks like the county would go 400 democratic on the county ticke^.

The Bryan and Stevenson notification meeting at Indianapolis Wednesday was one of the greatest events in /* political history. It is estimated that more than ;>0,000 visitors were in the city, and the crowd at Military park was estimated at over 100,000 to hear the speeches of the nominees of the next president and vice-president of the UjUited States. Next week the Democrat will give a full account of the meeting. No one denies that McKinley is a well intentioned man. But a certain place is paved with good intentions. McKinley has led the country far astray from the safe paths laid down ! by the fathers and has involved it in 1 a bewildering jungle of imperialism. 1 militarism and colonialism. The re- j turn will be long and difficult and it' may be decades before we free our-! selves from the vicious effects of the ! past two years. Hut we can make a beginning and the time to do so is now.

The weekly statement from General McArthur that the rebellion is over is accompanied by a cry of reinforce* meats and a protest against the withdrawal of any troops. Rathbone bought a jippi-jappa— pronounced hippy-happy—hat for his coachman at a cost of over twelve dollars. Now he will have a hippyhappy time paying for it. The treasury department has officially recognized tips to Pullman porters as part of legitimate traveling expenses. There is a sort of Rathbone ring to Jhis that is disquieting. .. -- Sylvester Beach has withdrawn from the race fpr Uie republican nomination for- treJistirer. Houchins, who was defeated by an overwhelming majority two years ago will be nominated by acclamation. * The long expected terror is in sight. ! C hina and Russia are about to lock horns all around the towns ending in ’vitch. and ’off and "ski. Nothing worse could happen unless there should be a civil war in Wales. One of the strong inducements bej ing offered to join the Lincoln club in [ this city is that free beer will be | served to the .members. This should i certainly secure a large membership, I but will be rather hard on the candij dates. I Advices received by the democratic I national and congressional campaign committees show that the Germans [ are largely breaking away to Bryan. | following the lead of the prominent ! men -among them who have already declared for him. If one-third of the German vote of the middle west shifts sides—and it now seems that twothirds will do so McKinley will be beaten out of sight. Governor Roosevelt made a mistake like one of those that caused Blaine’s defeat when he characterized all democrats, without exception, as lawless, dishonest and cowardly. Of l course the governor does not believe this but was-merely talking for rhetorical effect. Nevertheless, his words will unquestionably cost him and his chief deafly, alienating possible democratic accessions to the republican ranks.

The nomination of Col. A. D. Owen for congress in this district meets with the approval of every democrat in Pike county. To many of the older people of the county he is well known, having served in the civil war with a large number of them. The old veterans of Pike county who^served with him have nothing but words of praise for him, and regardless of party they will vote for him next November. Pike county will give the gallant colonel a large majority. E.

Dillon, but now bow to the will of the majority and rally to the man who, when the destruction of our government was threatened in 1861, went forward as colonel of the gallant 80th infantry, many of whom lived in Pike county, and led them through many bloody fields of battle, until it was agreed at Appomatox that thiSshould forever remain a republic. Now the gigantic trusts and imperialism are again threatening the destruction t^f our form of governmerit. This same true patriot has been made our standard bearer, and will again lead to victory on November 6th, and will still be battling for our fiag and voting against making our glorious country an empire. Look out for old Monroe coming forward with a largely increased majority in November. > j
