DEMOCRATIC CALL.

Abolish the Board of Strategy anti give admiral Sampson supreme control of our fleet in Atlantic ■ waters and the war will soon end. The peaceful blockade of cuban ports is the Boards ideal mode of warfare. L It would be of interest to the people of the county to know who | were the companions of the Board I of Commissioners when they took k their trip, on a night boat from I Chicago to Milwaukee to purchase ? the court house clock. I We would suggest that as junketing trips have been in order every I since the new court house agitation I commenced and before the plans | Were adopted that the Board go to r| Kentucky to purchase the grass p seed to be sown on the court house ? yard. On all former trips the | people of the county have “payed fit the freight” and they certainly will H not object to the Board taking an r outing nt the county’s expense II now.

n Notice is hereby given to the I Democrats of the 10th CongresI sional District that the Democratic K Congressional Convention for said p District will beheld on Saturday, H June 18th, commencing at 1 o’clock p. in. of said day, in the i Ellis Opera House, Rensselaer, II Jasper County, Indiana, for the l| purpose of selecting a candidate t| for said district, to be voted for r at the November election, 1898.
