Democratic Mass Convention. The democrats of .Clay ^ownship 4 will meet in mass convention on Saturday, September 22, at Union school house, at 2 o'clock p. m.. for the purpose of nominating' candidates to be voted for at the ensuing November election for the following officers: Township Trustee. , <? Township Assessor^ , Two Township Justices of the Peace. Two Township Constables. Three Members of Advisory Board. All democratic voters and all others who will agree to support the democratic nominees of said convention are cordially'invited to participate in the convention. Let us have a good turn out. By order of the, committee. M. B. Thomas, Chairman. A. F. Kime, Secretary. How long has it been siuce the administration declared that no guilty man should be allowed to escape and where are Uathbone and Neely now'4 The republicans are about to abandon silver and face the music on imperialism. They haye tried hard to avoid this but they have failed, and now they will try a little honesty and candor- but it will be precious little. The republican pre^s is raising a great whoop because Senator Stewart and Colonel Denby, and other lifelong democrats who have been voting the republican ticket for years past are now deserting Bryan and are rallying to McKinley. When is the county superintendent going to move his office to the county seat? The Indiana statute is plain on the subject that all officials must have an office at the county seat and where all official papers'must be kept. The attention of the county commissioners is called to this matter. “I a republican, but I honestly believe that with that Ohio crowd in control, dictating the policy of this government, the best thing that could happen to the republican party this fall would be the success of the democratic party at the polls. ”—H. S. Pingree, republican governor of Michigan. — , 1 ■ ' "

Now the census office has suggested that the increase in the house of representatives under the new enumeration might be neutralized by disfranchising southern states that suppress the illiterate negro vote. This would have the advantage of letting the northern states aloue, whether they disfranchise or not. Colonel Roosevelt made such a horrible break in his speech denouncing all democrats as scoundrels and traitors that Mark Hanna has been compelled to insist that he shall find that his throat will not stand the strain of speaking aud to therefore decline invitations to hold forth during the rest of the campaign. People who are charging Bryan with wishing to reverse his position on the peace treaty should remember that, along with the adoption of the .treaty, he recommended the passage of a resolution declaring that the United States meant ultimately, to give freedom to the Filipinos, and that such a resolution was defeated in the senate only by the casting vote of the vice president.

The cost of truant officers in the1 state is enormous. It is one of the duties that should be conferred on the township, trustee to see that all children attend school. The next legislature should abolish the office. The Standard Oil has issued another dividend, bringing the total for the last nine months up to 38 per cent on a hundred million&capital. Some one ought to organized fund for the benefit of Rockfeller before he starves to death. _________ It’s really lucky for the republicans that Tom Read has refused to speak for them this fall. Read is honest, at all events, and he would probably speak his mind if he spoke at all, and it would be mighty hard on Mac and Mark if he did so. The Sultan seems to have forgotten his promise to pungle up and has again brought to the front his proposition to square the account by buying a warship—on credit—from this country. Secretary Hay must get his splendid diplomacy to work at once. Senator Jones of Nevada, deserted Bryan because he abandoned silver, and Colonel Sabin, an ardent silver man in 1898, abandoned him because he was sticking to it. Thus we are reminded thrt any ojd excuse is good enough when there is something to be made by it sub rosa. United States Senator Wellington, of Maryland, has renounced the republican party and will support Bryan. The Senator appeared on the platform in Cumberland, Md., with W. J. Bryan and made a speech in which he stated his position, renouncing republicanism in all that it means. The Senator’s flop created considerable consternation in the ranks of the republicans. »

There is a large number of the j Democrat? subscribers who have not j paid their subscription for this year. ; Those who have receipts to 1901 nefcd i not read this notice, but if their re- ' ceipts does not bear recent date of payment, they may take the hint! We need the money. Do not wait for a collector. It is too expensive to send a collector to each subscriber for his $1 and with the advance of all printing material and paper, we must insist on advance payment. Please don’t forget this little matter. It is a! small matter for a man to pay $1 but when a couple of hundred times that amount is paid it makes quite a snug sum. Landis, republican candidate for | congress iu the Delphi district, is an ! editqr. In his paper of November 28, 1899, speaking of the civil service commission he says: “Theodore Roosevelt is the moving spirit in this commission, lie is a young dude. He is by nature a^miigwump and therefore a democrat. There is not a pure drop of republican blood in his body. By what right he is elevated to the dictatorship of the republican party no one pretends to explain. His chief claim to prominence is his close affiliation with George William Curtis and the other pure and imspotted cusses who defeated Blaine and worked with the energy of desperation against Harrison.” uIf a republican tells you that it is a good thing to have a large standing army,. you tell him that until this campaign the republicans had always pointed to the advantage of not having a large standing army. Remind him that when a republican president went into office he had an army oi 25,000 soldiers, and that that same president asked for a standing army of 100,000 soldiers in December, 1898, four times the size of the standing army when he was inauguarated. Then remind him of the fact that if we are to have imperialism we will never have a smaller army than we have now. The same spirit that leads us to take possession of the Philippine Islands and govern them without their consent and tax them without representation will lead us to seize any other lands weaker than we are.” —W. J. Bry^n.

Roosevelt’s Opinion of Laboringmen. On page 295 of the September, 1896, issue of Reviews, Theodqre Roosevelt, in discussing the American union workingman, made the following statement: ‘ The men who object TO WHAT THEY STYLE ‘GOVERNMENT j by injunction’ are, as regards the I essential principles of government, ! in hearty sympathy with their re- ! mote skin-clad ancestors who j LIVED IN CAVES, FOUGHT ONE ANOTHER j WITH STONE-HEADED AXES, AND ATE THE MAMMOTH AND WOOLY RHIN- | OCEROS. “They are interesting as representj ing a geological survival, but they are dangerous whenever there is j the least chance of their making, the j principles of this ages-buried past j living factors in our present life.“They are not in sympathy with MEN OF GOOD MINDS AND SOUND CIVIC I MORALITY.” |> DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are j prompt, palatable, pleasaht, powerI ful, purifying little pills.

JOLLY OLD UNCLE JOSH. Ills Great Generosity Towards ills Xewly Married Nelce. (Copyrighted by W. 8. Guthrie.) '-‘Miss Summers—Polly—I—I—er— dare I—” But the same speaker took a header over bashfulness, only to hear a sweet “Yes, Charley.” “Can I aspire to—er—to—that—is” Again a lapse into silence, followed by an encouraging “Yes, Charley.” j “Oh, if I might only hope toer—to—” Another failure of language. It was | seemingly a hopeless case, and might have been, only for a demure. “Charley, I have said ‘yes’ twice, and if you mean it. 1 mean it too, and—” And to this day that young man will Insist that he popped the question. All this happened away “down east,” and it wasn’t long before there was a wedding. Not much longer before there was a letter from Polly’s Uncle Josh, (The Hon. Joshua Turner) who wrote effusively of his delight at her exhibition of what he called “grit,”' and proposed that if the young people would locate at Petersburg, he would start them up in life, as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their friends adieu.

lew weeKs subsequent to tne above conversation, a travel-stained party arrived in Petersburg. Our friend, Uncle Josh, was in charge, *ind he led the party straightway to the Kininan hotel. ‘“We’ll go to the Kinman” said he, “’Cause it's a mighty popular place and strictly first-class. I have known Mr. Kinman, the proprietor, for years, and he is mine host after mine own heart, endowed with that delightful intuition that makes a guest feel at home, comfortable, contented, and in mighty good luck. The house is one of convenience; the apartments are well furnished and the table excellent, so I have engaged rooms here until your own house is in readiness.’? With these remarks Uncle Josh graciously presented to Charles the deed of a cozy cottage. “After breakfast,” said the old man, “We must take a little drive around town, and then look after your outfit. To expedite matters I have ordered a carriage from Fleming Bros, livery stable, and the team will be here in p. few minutes. ” When the handsome carriage, with elaborate trappings -and prancing horses drew up in front of the hotel, Polly declared it the “finest turnout she had ever seen.” “Yes Sir-ee,” replied Uncl^ Josh, “the three S’s, speed, safety and style’, is Fleming Bro’s. coat of arms. So, young folks, when you want to take a drive, either for business or pleasure, go to them for a rig every time. Their wedding, party and funeral equipments are unsurpassed.” It was a mighty stylish turnout that the rounds pf the city was made. “Yum, yum;” laughingly escaped Polly's rose bud lips, as she glanced into Marion Kime's restaurant and saw his display of fruits and confectionery,” Uncle Josh you know I’ve got a sweet tooth, and those sardines look so nice I just can't resist the temptation to go in. Charley here objected for he knew if Polly got in a confectionery store, there's where she’d stay. He relented however, when Uncle Josh said a nice lunch and ice cream my boy, so in they went. And after they had regaled themselves on a nice lunch and ice cream* they felt very much replenished and rejuvinated. After lunch the girl loaded up on chocolates and bon bons enough to make every tooth in town ache. Polly is a splendid judge of sweet meats and indulged in a profused compliment to Mr. Kime. 4Say untie, where can we get a good price-for produce, eggs, poultry, wool, hides, feathers, old iron, brass, copper, rubber and zinc, also beeswax, medicinal roots and clover seed. Why child, don’t you know that Mr. Hurbaugh pays a better price for that stuff than anybody in these.parts. He knows when and who to sell to and of course if he can get a better price than his competitors he certainly can afford to pay more and that is the secret of his success.” “Uncle, do you know that our fine pacing colt is sick? What on earth can we do for him? Why child don’t you know Dr. Frank Osbon is the best qualified veterinary physician and surgeon in the state. The doctor was thea called and soon brought the colt; around, very much to the delight of j the whole family. I tell you what the j people are too much indifferent toward animals in these parts. They should have their teeth kept in shape so they cap masticate the food and thus prevent indigestion. Another thing they try to doctor them themselves and only make the animal worse when they could get a doctor and in a great many cases save the animal's life. This is something to think about, I tell you, and we must not forget Dr. Osbon's ability for animals will get sick and must be treated.” ,The most dainty and effective pills made are DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.
