The Union criticizes Democratic vice presidential candidate Stevenson and the party's free trade stance. It argues free trade leads to bankruptcy, pensions loss, and damaged domestic industry, urging readers to vote the Democratic ticket while contrasting protectionist prosperity with immigration and wartime records.
The convention resolutions show strong public support for investigating courthouse offices. The Sullivan Democrat and the courthouse ring may fool some voters, but not all, as we expect a flat turnout and a clear stance against deception.
Democrats show little zeal over Cleve land's nomination while Republicans celebrate President Norrison's with tepid support. At the courthouse last Saturday evening the “bread and butter brigade” attempted to generate excitement but failed. The band firecrackers and tin horns drew more interest than the crowd. Cleveland and Stevenson act as a wet blanket to the people of Sullivan County.
An Indianapolis Journal critique argues that Chicago delegates were misled to back Stevenson, alleging a deliberate use of Isaac Pusey Gray’s war record to bolster the ticket. It contends Stevenson lacks an army record and was not even a formal officer, undermining the ticket’s strength. The piece notes a London statistic that 10,000 of 240,000 domestic servants are always unemployed.
A historical letter argues that the Sullivan Times editor rebuked Democratic rebels and Knights of the Circle. It recalls wartime loyalties, property destruction claims, and public scuffles, praising old soldiers and circulating hostile memories of Democrats.
An editorial quip from the Terre Haute Express suggests that if Cleveland elections occur the Gazette chief editor may dominate patronage, unless Lamb editor of the same paper decides not to add to a growing list of eight or ten relatives already benefiting from public positions.
The note observes Grover as larger than his party as Cleveland enthusiasm surpasses the restraint of leaders and practical sense within the group.
Preparations for a new society advance with a June 27 initiatory meeting. The Widow and Widowers Order aims to address housing, advance women suffrage, and feature B. P. Scott’s lecture on engagement. Robt. Stewart presides, Levi McCoskey is vice-president, and B. P. Scott secretary.

Children day to be observed at Nymera on Sunday June 26 with a Baptist basket meeting. Mrs Railsback ill. Farmers buy new binders. This week ends our union as local correspondent due to busy season and uncooperative news sources. Best wishes from Novice friends and itemizers.
Misses Gertrude Ford and Josie Buff spent last week in Merom. Miss Bennett from Terre Haute visits Bertha Stanley. The Epworth League picnic disappointed Washington and Vincennes people as the boat arrived late and the return was rushed. Harvest has begun. Will Smith went to Merom. Mrs. Smith visited Mrs. Lewis Benefield. The Merom mill burned Friday night. Edward S. Dann, treasurer of the Buffalo National Savings Bank, faces embezzlement charges of 40000 dollars.
A fragment claims a treatment cures chronic or nervous diseases with universal success and urges use by mature patients, but provides no evidence, context, or authoritative support. The note resembles an advertisement or handwritten claim rather than a verified medical statement.
