There is no man on the Republican county ticket more deserving of the hearty and unanimous support of the party voters than John O’Connor the candidate for sheriff He is the most exemplary man and public spirited citizens, and oommands'the complete respect of all classes of people, and the better he and his excellent family are known, the better are they esteemed, which is right in his own village and township where he has lived so long. As a public official also he has already fully demonstrated his faithfulness and effi ciency, as assessor of his township, ditch commissioner etc. As a hard party worker he is always right on deck, and though he is thus a zealous party man, that ought not to be urged against him as ■ a fault, considering that his Democratic opponent is about the most uncompromising Democrat in Jasper county. Charles B. Landis: The Demoorats have served notice that they intend to buy the coming electionThey are taking pains to make known their intention to use money in the most corrupt and flagrant manner. Every vote below 40,000 repnblioan plurality in Indiana will represent a vote in financed by the enormous corruption fund which the democrats propose to use. With a fair election Indiana is certain to go republican 40,000 to 60,000.

A HOT ONE FOR TOM.

H n. Geo. W. Michael Writes a Scaling Letter to Chairman Taggart. H iD.Ct'ofge W Michael,’ fertrerly of Rensselaer, and a prominent Democrat cf many years Standing, now living in Lafayette, his jnst published in the Journal of that city an open letter to Thomas Taggart, on the political situation. Mr. Michael who then lived in Logansport,-was a candi* date for Congress in th« ILt h district, against Gen. W. S’eele, in 1898, and gave him t’ e hardest race he ever hud Mr. Micha I’; alter is somewhat too b ng for <r co oopv in full but its sub»»ip.no if p ully given in the fjllowiig -x 'raote: Lafayette, Ind , Oct. 28, 1904 Hon. Thomas Taggart, Chairmen of the DemoorMin National C< mmittne, New York, N. Y.

Sir: -Y hit* o p recent cl-e at-k'ng me to h-s'ie and help Ibe Demcc’&tic party to win tbi- fall, is before me. and in ;e, ly wilt B\' that dutv to myself, family a< d <iouu»rv o -tnmends that I ce*s j as filiating with the Democratic p- rty until she returns to the prinoip etinstalled in our party creed by ’he good old patriots and lovers ct humanity that earnest Democrats have cherished for many years The tactics now used by the lead ere of the Democratic party to mt are the most damnable and shameful. I have no confidence in suo.i men hb David B. Hill, Augu-o Belmont. Grover Cleveland, Wil. tiam Sheehan, Thomas Rvau, Bourke Cochran, Jno. W. Kern atid yourself. You, with the above named political sharpers stole the nomination for Judge Parker, nut the great steal will go down in history and thus help damn futire generations. The steal will d less harm if Parker is defeated. If he should be elected, it would encourage the same tactics in the future. You and all who be'pud to perpetrate this steal should be relegated to the rear and in no wise be recognized by honest Democrats, Honest Democrats uphold civil and religious libeny and revoke base hypooracy Now, Mr. Taggart, honor bright, you know that you and the above named fellows have habits, of such tencr that would set any party to decaying that you ocntrolhd. I firmly believe that ycu men are a ait a traitors, not only to your party, but to all oivil and religious liberty. Mr. T?ggart, I feel it my duty to appeal to the Democrats of the great state of Indiana to reason and to bring into requisition their powers of discrimination in men. [ would like to see the cranium of an honest Democrat that would believe anything that Bourke Cookran would say. He is one of those Tammany sharks trained to deceive and doubtless would betray bis best friend.

You know that Grover Cleveland Parker’s advisor and most intimate friend, is but a swell political counterfeit. Belmont is a man you would not trust to handle your money any quicker than he would trust you to handle his. You know each other too well. And yet you ask the people of the United States to let you handle their money. The Democratic party of today is rotten and if Parker and Davis should be elected we will have one of the most rotten ad* ministrations known to man. Parker is rotten with the pledges to the trusts and the money powers. Davis, the shrivel-headed coal magnate and multiple miHion aire, raising the price of coal to more than ten legitimate profits during the great coal strike in Pennsylvania at a time when women and children were freezing to death for the want of coal, would help to degrade and prostrate and pollute any man who would drink in that stream of politics. In ’Conclusion Mr. Taggart, I quote from your latter this wise

and worthy thought: “Rut I al know that the sense of dutyTaW - fully performed to party and conn try will always be a pleasing menory to you ” I accept this from you hh oeiiig quite true, and I feel it my simae bt duty to hilp dnvt out of tbe grand old Democratic p ertv-tbat elementw hi oil is iut uminority, that is row cursing anc making my party odious. I bav no confidence whatever in you sue your clique. You are a set o’ gamblers.

HOW BRYAN TALKED AT HAMMOND

W. J- Bryan made one tn r speech in Indiana, after the ui" here Wednesday after ou. I whs at Hauftnctd tbe evening o' the same day he spoke here, E idently he gave even fuller rein i his demagogic brain and vituperaive tongue than he did here, jud . ing from some observations on t.’ispeech in the Hammond Tribtidand a p irtion of which ate ben copied: Imperialism was tbe main topic of his His sincerity again came into question oujhis subject. He was one of the foremost of tin Congress in favor of the purchase of the Philippines and now he I as come about and started on another tack Again it was policy and "not the heart speaking. He a>'empted to explain the mistakes I Judge Parker in regard to the • x peuditures in the Philippines. A iiffi oult task for a better tran than Bryau. The increase of the stand ing army was condemned. Here Mr. Bryan showed these dem-igng-ical traits for which he has beo-u e famous. Hr stated in fact tha» tbe poor laboring man could be shot down if he attempted to ns-ert his rights and that the liberties of (he people were being assailed Very ocrveniently did Mr. Bryan forget that it was Mr. Cleveland, now of the reorganized Democracy that sent the regulars into Hammond to shoot down the strikers but Hammond men will not ferget. Very conveniently did Mr. Bryan forget that Mr. Roosevelt was tbe man that settled the coal strike by forcing the ooal Jbaroua to respect the rights of the working men. These were facts and facts seemed burdenson to Mr. Bryan, They did not fit into his speech. His assertions were B.yanesque if nothing else. Damnable in the extreme were his vituperative allusions to the character of the president in which he said if Mr. Roosevelt ever found bis pooket book on the street he, Bryan would be fearful lest Roosevelt keep it. Such language and such allusions belong to the harangue of a mob leader on the street corner and not to a former candidate for the presidency speaking before an intelligent audience.

Cut Your yuel Bill in Twbj IN an ordinal) soft coal stove, half of the coal arises in gas and . ■ I promptly gq ? up the chimney.
