POSTMASTER GkSKRAL WlLSOH BSJS free gorernment is on trial. If Hanna and the trusts are doing the trying they will probably garrote it a la "Weyler. There is some agitation for the use of voting machines in Indiana hereafter. The trusts and corporations eridently a good many of them during the Isvte election on people who were heretofore supposed to be free moral agents. Thb Borrow information lias come to this office that The Dkmo has become the unhappy rictim el the severe displeasure of E.

A. Kauf aaan; that there are some things about this paper he doesn't like. This is too fead. Mr. Kaufman's standard of ex isellence is so high he should not expect Jrail newspaper men to measure up to it on all occasions.

The Democrat will not undertake to find any imperfection in Mr. Kaufman. The Warren Independent is shocked arer the reports it has been hearing irom Huntington and it takes a good 4eal to shock the Independent. It They must hare a fine set of officers At Huntington. From the reports in "the papers from there, there must be nore eassedneas in that town than if a section of hades had been transplant ad there.

If the officers can't suppress It they ought to be fired." The Independent is not aware of all ur officers hare to contend with. Withhold your judgment until yon karat all. Chairman Jores was recently inter Tie ed on election res ul I hare been assured since the election by republicans, some of wide reputation," said the senator, "that thousands of republicans voted for lisj. Mo Xinley because they believed him to be a bimetallist, and that as much would done for silver under his admlnis tratlon as could be accomplished were 2ryan to be elected. And it would be secured, too, without danger to the disturbances that were feaied in case of Bryan's election.

But the republicans are not united on this question, and they will hare to settle the matter for Ihemselves between now and 1000. "I am firmly convinced that a' vast sa jority of the people of this country ieaire bimetallism, and if the republicans place themselves squarely in line for the gold standard, and the use of silver as subsidiary coin only, there era be no doubt of the result of the on test. We failed to elect Bryan this year because the republicans secured sfe bulk of the artisan vote, and we Sailed to convert enough of the farmer vote to offset it. But they are coming cur way, and if Jlr. Hanna Is proceed ing upon the theory that the farmer vote is lest to the republicans, why Here can be no doubt of the issue.

Somxxodt has figured out that the late election cost an average of over twenty five cents for each voter in the state of Indiana, the total cost to the state being $185,000 or $50 per precinct. Air esteemed local contemporary, for instance, declares that fifty thousand men went to work in Wheeling, W. Ya immediately after UcKlnley's election. The latest corrected reports give Wheeling. W.

Spkakxbto of a fight on Matilda street Sunday evening between two brothers the Herald sav "It is a lamentable fast that too much of such conduct is allowed to go on at night without arrests and pun Marshal Crandal is chief of police and S. T. Cast is mayor of the city of Hantlngton.

The Herald evidently has a poor opinion of their capacity and efficiency. A rata a long session of idleness and much conferring, the pay of the fifteen thousand glass workers of the country has Jost been reduced ten per cent, in consideration of the fact that McKln ler has been elected president and prosperity in big chunks will soon be here. One of our principal industries controlled exclusively bv republicans the Delphi Lumber Company has shut down, and its men are out of employment indefinitely. Delphi Times. The plan is suggested as coming from Mark Hanna, the retirement of the greenbacks and preventing bond issues by breaking1' the endless chain," provides for the issue cf 3 per cent government bonds to redeem the $346,000, 000 legal tender, remarks the Pittsburg Post.

This will be changing a non interest bearing debt to an interest bearing one, and will cost, say in 30 years, the time cf the bonds and including redemption, the tiny sum of $347,000,000. The plan also means a decrease of the currency to the extent cf $346,000,000, and the handing over to the national banks a monopoly the supply cf the paper currency cf the country. When Major McKinley comes to tackling this proposition he will scare at it, as he is reported to hsve been scared at the notion of declaring jr gold monometallism. They are well enough in the abstract, but not for the practical work of businebs or Persons who have the good of the party at heart instead of trying to tear down the work will do all in their power to ansist' the leaders. Jndge Wbitelock's Organ.

The judge's personal organ also speaks of those "entrusted with the management of the It was supposed that the chairman, secretary and central committee were "entrusted with the management of the campaign," in part at least. But the self seeking triumvirate entrusted itself with everything, like the camel that poked its head into the tent and ultimately took entire possession. These persons have imagined they had every qualification for leadership. They have repeatedly ctlled themselves the leaders of the party and have displayed a vast amount of disgusting egotism in their assumed superiority and monopoly of political wisdom. The Democrat put up with these sea oaptain airs during the campaign without murmuring.

But it now says it is a good time for the democrats of Huntington county to decide whether they want this attempt at boss rule and star chamber management of a Bel esteemed coterie to continue. Even now Thk Dkmochat might have endured it without mention in this paper; but when these "leaders" engage in a guerrilla warfare on the old established democratic paper that has fought the battles of the party for years, and when these "leaders" do this for selfish ends and do it under the cloak of "leadership" for the party good, it is time that the rank and file should know the circumstances. In this nefarious work Thk Democrat refuses to assist these self styled "leaders," the triumvirate. AXTEB BTKIXUETS ELECTION. Before the election it was given out that the treasury receipts would increase after the election, but, like other promises of what was to come under the Wilson bill they have not done so Herald.

Through the restoration of confidence and increase of business through the election of McElnley, is the phrsse that should be supplied for "under the Wilson bill." With a continuation of the gold standard the people are not able to buy what is manufactured at home and could therefore hardly be expected to Import from abroad to any great extent. Their ability to buy will not be increased by any increase of the tariff taxes on goods either. A sure way of raising revenue would have been through the income tax law. Ample revenne would have been afforded had this income tax law not been declared unconstitutional, through one supreme court judge changing his mind. And we are not expected to know, as Mr.

Bryan remarked, when a judge will change his mind. For such a criticism the Chicago democratic convention was criticised. A ITER ELECTION CON DITION8. Simultaneously with the sospenslon of the Detroit car wheel works came the news of heavy failures in Galveston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities, showing that the effect of the an; nouncement of McKinley 'a election was at least not universally beneficial. The fact is that even those who opposed McKinley'a election have been surprised and disappointed that there has not been a more positive revival of business.

'Daring every presidential campaign there is a general depression. but it is always expected that as soon as the election is over things will brighten, up. Notwithstanding the boasts that. were made for several days following the election, announcing the starting up of manufacturing industries and a general increase in the jobbing trade, the fact seems to be that there has been practically no reaction and that business in all parts of the country is now as it was a month ago. But the Christmas holidays are at hand, and it is to be hoped that the in spiration of kindness and charity, that comes along with the good cheer of Christmss, will loosen purse strings and give an impetus to business.

Evansviile Courier M'KINLET'd OBLIGATIONS. Says the Shelby ville Democrat: Eren before his inauguration Mr. McKlnley is made the recipient of valuable gifts from the Hannaites. Han na's brother has given the Presidentelect a splendid summer home on the New England coast: "A weakness of Gen. Grant was his acceptance of favors at the hands of men with favors to asks of his administration.

The results of that policy were written in the history of Black Fridays, whisky rings, Belknap steals, Mullett frauds and the high tide of cor ruption in the Navy department under Kobeson. "It is cot charged that Gen. Grant touched a dollar stolen from the pe pie. Neither will McKinley. But the money will be stolen jast as certainly under the one as It was under the other, and by the men who bring gifts to tne white house dbors.

"The public conscience condemns the taking of gifts by the And the public conscience is always right." Maj. McKinley 's election was also given him by the trusts. These men gave several million dollars in a cam paign fund to nominate and elect him He is naturally under great obligations to the syndicates and trusts that have made him president. It would be nat ural if he showed himself their ser vant. They were not in the campaign merely for their health.

MB. SniTKLT WRITES. Hon.B.F.Shively who was democratic candidate for governor writes a letter as follows. It is woith reading entire. South Bens, Nov.

20, '96. Mr. G. Finney, Martinsville. Ind: "My Dear Sir My attention has been called to an article in your issuei of the 13 th Inst to the effect that it is reported that I have made 'overture for reconciliation with some faction of the democratic party.

This is all news to me. It is the sacred right of every voter to choose his own party affiliation. In the exercise of this right the democrat votes the democratic ticket and the republican votes the republi can ticket. The voter alone can read himself out of or into a political party. and this he does with his vote.

"Whether the man who votes the democratic ticket or the man who votes the republican ticket, is the better democrat is scarcely an enthralling issue. Reconciliation Is a good thing where there is anything to reconcile or somebody to reconcile with. In the absence of both, the ceremony would be both difficult and unimpressive. "In the late campaign the Indiana democracy entered the contest sclng a 45,000 majority. Added to this it en countered the most colossal combina tion of treachery, pharisaism, corruption and refined brute force ever brought into the politics of this or any other country.

It was a desperate struggle between plain men of flesh, and blood, and mind, and conscience. in the open field on one side and the trained battalions of pelf, privilege and coercion working their artillery under cover and from ambush on the other. "Had no numerical ground been gained the contest was fruitful of reassuring lessons to the friends of decent methods in politics. The dauntless conrage and unparalleled earnestness, zeal, fortitude and devotion with which over 300,000 men in Indiana fought on in splendid scorn of the insolence of power, the tresson of trusted leaders and the allurement of private gain and at the end stood up and were ecunted for Bryan and American self govern ment, are unmeasurably better hostages to the dignity and integrity of American citizenship than a thousand empty victories won in sham battles on swindling platforms. "But these men reduced, by more than half, the republican majority of two years ago, recovered over thirty counties in the state, made decisive gains in the atate and national legislature, and though losing the general result, emerged from the conflict un conquered in spirit and confirmed in their faith.

In this work nearly too, 0C0 Indiana democrats taught an in solent enemy what they could do without money when enfranchised with a good cause. The msjority have spoken and all acquiesce. But people do not cease to think because a vote has been taken. At a time when the financial conspirators, who, in the recent contest, tor tured and strangled the manufacturing and mercantile enterprise of thejnati jn into their support, are clsmorihg for further grants of public credit and power, their victims will hardly be denied the right to enquire into the secret of ithis remorseless commercial despotism. The study of the issue will proceed unfretted by the ambitions of men or the passions of party conflict.

Meantime it is an entirely safe conclu sion that when the roll is called in ture democratic conventions there will be no apologies from Indiana democrats to either Mark Hanna or the cup bearing pensioners on his campaign fund. "With kindest regards and best wishes, 1 am, very truly yours, B. F. Bhtvelt." join thb league. 8ays the Marion Leader: forming of a permanent organization by the bimetallic league is a matter that should interest every citizen who believes in a double rather than a single standard for measuring values.

Every voter who is not satisfied with the declining prices of all products, and who wovild have a change made in the present monetary system, should become a member of the organization. "No one can do so much outside as inside this body. By its advancement will the advancement of its csuse largely be measured in Marion. Let its officers see to it that every silver man in the city is asked to sign the league's rolls. Let them not rest either until every township in the county has at least one branch of the league.

To do less than this is to neglect a work that must be performed if proper results are to come from the organization." Remember the meeting of thi Bryan League to night at the hall, in the Brown building over Kelsey's law of flee. THE TAPEWORM. Last Saturday Judge Wbitelock's personal organ emitted a whine about criticisms indulged in pretty generally among democrats as to the disgusting. rule or ruin higbf statin', "we are the party and the people" conduct of that combination of assumption, assertion and asininlty.the self installed political trinity in Huntington county. Thia is the combination that wrote its own motion to have two of its members appointed an "executive committee? by the central committee, had the motion presented and passed, and then pro ceeded to execute the central com mittee, or if not kill it, to at leaat put it to sleep.

Who heard of Jos. G. Amiss or Frank Guthrie, the regularly elected chairman and secretary, in the management cf this county campaign after the bosses got in their work? John W. Bowman, ex sheriff, was one of the persons appointed as a mem ber of the executive committee, by the central committee. From the time of his appointment his wishes were never considered by Boss Whitelock and Bulldozer Kaufman.

He was not con sulted. His place was practically umrped by Samuel E. Cook at the be hest of his master, O. W. Whitelock.

Of no mean ability with a natural dis position for fairness, Mr. Cook would be a'pretty good sort of man, 'but he is a ball of putty in the hands of Boss Whitelock. He pushes himself to the front to do Whitelock's bidding be cause Whitelock has sense enough to know that this is more politic than to keep himself in constant view of the people, because of an unsavory record. Had Mr. Cook cut loose from his un fortunate environments' long ago, his political ambitions would have had happier realizations.

Aside from his subservient political affiliations he is generally well thought of. These are the people who have tried to install themselves as the autocratic "leaders" of the democracy of Hunt ington county. They are now whining because the pent up wrath of the rank and file of the democracy of Huntington county has burst upon their heads at the exposure of the inquisitorial knife in the back, MDo as we say or you are no democrat" methods of the triumvirate. They are the people who are now "boo hooing" to the democrats of Huntington county for their sympa thy, instead of Bob Day doing this as they lyingly allege. When during the campaign did they stop to ask any democrat in this county for his advice or his sympathy? They have a self established inquisi tion.

They proceed upon the assumption that they have the power to read anybody who is not obedient to their every mandate out of the democratic party. They tried their inquisitorial methods on The Democrat in Tuesday evening's manifesto of the would be Dictator. The proprietor of The Democrat is gravely accused by the boss of engaging in conversation with persons who held opposite political views. The boss affects displeasure that whenever somebody who did not agree with the Chicago platform came in to Tux Democrat ofilce he was not driven out or thrown into the street. The boss sent persons to The Democrat ofilce to catechise the proprietor of The Democrat, and seems displeased because the latter thought it was none of the boss's business and acted accordingly.

The charge that the proprietor of The Democrat advised anybody to vote the republican county ticket or any part of the republican ticket is a he out of whole cloth. On the contrary, The Democrat fought for the county ticket and the proprietor of The Demo crat told his friends to vote for all the candidates so nominated. In reply he was frequently told that the men nominated were good men but that Boss Whitelock would endeavor to grab all the ranty printing and fasten his ring upon the people with himself as the Autocrat. Men who would have voted for the entire ticket expressed themselves in this way. Candidates were told in good feeling and faith that Whitelock's combine wss injuring the ticket, but said they were in a position where they could do nothing.

Now the combine wants an excuse for its lamentable failure of management. And it is trying to lay the blame on The Democrat. Nevertheless the appetite of the Whitelocic Cook Kaufman tape worm will hardly diminish. It ref oses to see how it has weakened the party in this county. It will attempt to continue to prey upon its strength.

Whitelock, the head, will continue to govern its movements; Cook, the middle portion, will continne to wiggle aa the head directs and digest for it, and the other member, composing the other part, will continue to blow off. Meanwhile as the real animus and design of the lying reports of the emissaries, lickspittles at spittoon cleaners of the Great Mogul, which have been spread broadcast over Huntington county continue to be better understood. The Democrat's list of subscribers increases. And The Democrat is still published at the same old stand and circulates alongside the in allible'8 personal organ at the ratio of 10 to 1 and we shall continue to get out the best paper in Huntington without waiting the action, aid, consent or permission of the tape worm combination.
