t. R. McDonald has an nounced himself as a candidate for -Joint Senator from the district composed of Allen and Whitley counties. The Daily Conference Journal of North Manchester is on our taDie, It is neat, spicy and good looking, and its advertising columns are wt 11 patronized. mcott Ray of Shelbyville is un happy at the present writing as some thief stole his shoes.

How ever we hope they were not his Senatorial brojrana. The Lima Democratic Times now receives telegraph which makAfl it a much better paper than heretofore. It is straight Democratic and we congratulate the Times on her prosperity. There is one peculiar thing about Gresham's candidacy. He leans toward tariff reform, and at the same time is warmly indorsed as a Presidential candidate by Pie-iron" Kelley, the most rabid protectionist in the country.

The Blaine boom continues to wax stronger each day as the convention He is the favorite son of the leaders and politicians of the Republican party, and they are the ones that nominate the candidate, but the people do the voting and Cleveland is the wining man. The Fort Wayne Journal is now receiving the United Press telegraphic report which is helping that paper wonderfully. The paper is cheap and can be had here on the early train. We see no reason why the Democracy of Huntington can't take advantage of this and get a morning paper early. It would seem, from the decision handed down by the Michigan Supreme Court, that the framers of the local option law In that State were a pack of idiots who did not know the meaning of the words iflVlfiBoTlflo JflflPJUft and prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor." The court held that there could be no regulation of the traffic unless there was manufacture and sale of the liquor.

Inasmuch as the bill also provided for absolute prohibition, there could bA no manufacture and sale. Hence the law was unconstitutional. Some fellow signing himself "soldier" in our contemporary says some things about the National Tribune which will not bear scrutinizing. The publishers of that journal are as we stated. The Republican National Committee purchase hundreds of thousands of that journal for their political work.

The writer does i ot seem to remember when the same paper, which he claims is booming Black, sat down on him and which is the same sheet that helped Foraker in his "flag fit." Col. Lemon has about as much Democracy about mm as the "Soldier" who wrote the epistle. If the party who wrote tnat would dwell on something about which he knows more he might be able to teach somebody something, as it is, he betrays his ignorance in the matter and simply shows bis par tlsanship In the article as the JVa tional Tribune is published by the National Tribune Co. Suppose tor one moment that Judge Gresham was nominated at Chicago, who would be the strong est man to place upon the ticket with him Those followers of the distinguished jurist who are con fident of his nomination are al ready discussing this question Naturally their eyes are turned toward New York state, the most important battlefield or the com ing national political conflict. And what do they find? For some resson which they cannot readily explain they seem to think or con clude that ex-Senator Warner Miller is the man for whom they are looking.

Herein they make a mistake. Warner Miller is not the man who should go on the ticket with Gresham in the event of the tatter's nomination, He Is a weak man. His nomination would not even make New York a doubtful state. It would surely go Democratic Miller has no following in his state. All the prominence he ever attained as a Republican was gained at the time the events were shaping which led up to the assassination of President Garfield.

He was accidently elected senator for New York state to succeed Roscoe Conkllng at that time. Against, him now there is a bitter feeling existing among that tor-tion, of the Empire state Republi-organization which had for its rood Roscoe Conkllng. That portion is not small, nor weak. It is of sufficient strength to defeat all men or tickets made up of men who proved untrue to Conkllng. Miller would surely feel the knife were he to be nominated.

Aside from this, he has no qualification for the ofSce. He Is simply a successful manufacturer of wood-pulp, and as this Industry has nothing to do with the preparation of men for vice-presidential chairs, it can be readily seen that Miller Is not the man wanted. There is, however, a man In New York state on whom the Greshamitea should look with favor. Aside from Chauncey De-pew, he is- the strongest Republican in the -state. That man is Levi P.

Morton. He Is not only popular with his party, but he possesses that important factor in carrying elections which Samuel J. Tildea denominated as "Copen-, al which is otherwise Irown aaacnpy. Morton is the 'man for tha Greshamltes to tie tOiSun. The Size of the Han.

George W. Bell, Commissioner, was one of the witnesses caiiea py the prosecution in the libel suit brought by Mr. Bell's friend against this paper. Mr. Bell claimed fees as a witness amounting to $4.35 and then wrote upon the account tnis: "I hereby donate this acct.

for the benefit of the editors of The Huntington Democrat. "Geo. W. Bell." The force 'of this donation. will be more plain when it is known that under a ruling or the court witnesses for the prosecution not sworn were not granted fees, and the more or less honorable Geo.

Bell was one of this class. Con sequently he donates something which ue does not nave a nauii doubtless with kim-when he makes such a gratuitous donation to us. Everyone who knows him will, we think, readily admit that it has not been his custom to mase sucn liberal donations, a dollar looks big to him. but now he wants to donate something that the law witbolds from him. Mr.

Bell shows his size in that little donation which he wrote in that book. He shows nia teei ings in this matter, be shows how capable he is of filling impartially the position he holds; he shows his principles better than any one eise could have done. Little George Bell is respectfully informed that the editors of The Democrat do not regard them selves as being under any obliga- tion to him for donating something he does not have, has no right to and could not collect. Did we owe him that $4.35 we should pay it and not seek to get even for the time when he refused to allow a certified bill for us which was much more honorably earned than was this which he endeavors to donate. The people know his calibre, that one outburst of passion against the editors of The Democrat told it better than volumes could tell.

For Congressman, Hon. A. N. Martin. On behalf of the Democracy of Wells county, the Banner takes pleasure in announcing now that the name ot A.

IN. Martin oi mis city, will be presented to the coming Con gressional convention at Hunting. ton for nomination as the Uemo cratic candidate lor Representative in Coneress from this district. We have no word of unfavorable comment upon anv other cand date for that honorable distinction, but we do want a man who can win the election when nominated, and we fully believe that Mr. Martin can do this.

He has always been faithful to the people who elected him in his discharge of every official obligation, and the people know that fact and that they can trust him to do his whole duty. He is moral, honest, capable, temperate, sociable and true to his friends. Having been a working man himself he is the friend of the workincman. and thev know he will guard their interests by his every vote. Born on a farm, he feels the claims of the great farm- ine interests to have rehet trorn every unnecessary burden imposed upon them.

Having been a private soldier in the Union army he believes in leeislation which wil erive present benefit to soldier. Being an intelligent man he knows and appreciates the rights oi dusi- nesss men to be cared tor dv legis lation which will benefit every one exceot monopolists and creatures a of rines and trusts. teo? crat, simply because he believes in the principles of his party. A lawyer by profession, even his opponents will gladly say that he is an able, earnest and nonor eble practitioner, and that he leaves no rightful means unused to bring his clients success, in 1874 he was elected Repre sentative to the Indiana Legislature from the district of Adams and Wells, and was conspicuous in that body, not only as the trusted ally and friend of Speaker Turpie, but also as being faithful to the people who elected him. In 187, he was nominated for Reporter of the Supreme Court ot Indiana on the State ticket, headed by Governor Williams and Lieutenant-Governor Gray, and received the largest majority in Wells county that she had ever before given to any can didate.

In 1SS0, so well had he discharg ed his official duties, he was renominated by his paity by acclama tion and without opposition, and made a gallant fight for re selection On that occasion he not only ran ahead of his ticket in Wells county, but also in the State, coining nearer beiue elected, and being beaten by a less majority than Landers, Gray, Manson and all other candidates on the State ticket. He is an able and earnest speaker, and if nominated will make a thor ough canvass of the District, being in the ptime of hts mental and physical manhood at the age of 41 He does not believe in a "still hunt' campaign, for this is a Demo cratic District. All in alLDemocrats of this Dis trict, if you nominate Mr. Martin we fully believe he will be elected, and when he is elected we know that he will not be troubled with the "big head," but will be the same friendly, genial Gus Martin his friends know him always to have been, and always ready to help them in any manner in his power.

Official Test bv the Ohio State Food Analyses of the Chief Brands in the Market--Their Strength and Value Ascertained. The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commission, under the direction of that State, has made the result of its recent official examination of the baking powders of the marker, as many of the brands analyzed are in use throughout the country, the report of the Commission will be found of general interest. The startling fact is broueht out by the report that of the thirty dif ferent brands of baking powder analyzed, twenty are made from alum, a substance declared by the hlkhest medical authorities to be injurious to health when used In food. The Commission classify the bak ing powders into three general divisions, according to their value: 1st. cream oi Tartar Bakincr Powders; 2d.

Pnosphate Baking Powders; 3d. Alum Baking Powders. The Commission explains that the best baking powder is that which, the ingredients being healthful gives off the largest amount of leavening gas and the smallest amount of residuum in the bread. A small amount of carbonate of ammonia, which is con sidered healthful, is used jn some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. The Commission says that alum Is un- doutedly a hurtful The report ranks the powders and shows the amount In each of inert resultants.

Price's the inert matter in Price's is seen to be about five in seven more than in the for mer, a difference of 71 3-7 per cent the Royal being purer than Price's by a corresponding figure. The carbonic or leavening gas produced by the powders indicates their strength and their true value may be ascertained by considering the amount of this gas in connec tion with their inert matter or residuum as shown above. The higher the percentage of gas and the lower the percentage residuum the better the baking powder. These percentages, as round In some of the most familiar pow are given as follows Name.
