THE REVIEW.

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

Hon,' E. V. Brookshire, Montgomery ,County's Pride, Chosen Standard Bearer.

Li DOMINATED BT ACCLAMATION. The democratic congressional convention for eighth district met in the court house in Terre Haute Tueeday afternoon. The attendance was large and very enthusiastic/while the best of harmony prevailed. The convention was organized by electing ex-Congressman John E. Lamb, chairinau, and R. Moss, of Clay county, secretary. Upon taking the chair Mr. Lamb was greeted with much applause by both delegates and spectators, and bis speech, in which he took occasion to strongly commend Congressman Brookshtre's record in uongress was enthusiastically received. Chairman Lamb referred to the nomination by the republicans of Mount, a farmer, at Brazil for congress on a platform warmly Indorsing the McKinley bill as oue of the most amusing features in modern politics.,

The committee on resolutions then reported and the resolutions read amidst great applause and adopted.

RESOLUTIONS.

The democracy of the eighth congressional district of Indiana, in convention assemoied, believing that upon their triumph and success depend the welfare, prosperity and happiness of the people, reaffirm their allegiance to the time-honored principles of the democratic party.

We believe in the capability of the people for self-government that to them, and them alone, can be entrusted the supervision and management of the elections of their representatives in congress, and we denounce the federal election bill now pending in the senate.

We affirm our belief that the power of taxation conferred by the people of the state upon the federal government was to enable it to lay and collect taxes to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare, and not for the purpose of empowering it to tax one Industry or class for the benefit and support of another and we denounce the bill now pending in the senate known as the McKinley bill which proposes to tax the corn and wheat growers of the west to pay bounties to the sugar producers of other sections which seeks to prohibit the agricultural classes from disposing of their surplus products to the people of other countries upon fair terms of trade and exchange. A bill in which Secretary

Blaine says, "there is not a section on the line that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork which levies exhorbitant rates upon woolen clothing and other necessaries while exempting works of art and luxury from the burdens of taxation. which seeks to prohibit the importation of materials, which constitute the basis of large and growing industries in this country, and whicu are not produced by us, but purchased abroad with the productions of our farmers aud mechanics and which is avowedly intended to prevent trade and commerce, for the enrichment of monopolies and the further concentration of the wealth of the country in the hands of a few to the impoverishment of the many, as oppressive, unjust and unconstitutional.

We believe in the free aud unlimited coinage of gold aud eilver, and we denounce the present republican administration for having failed to redeein its promise to restore silver to its use as money but, instead, providing for the suspension of the coinage after the 1st day of July, 1891.

We believe that the public domain should be reserved for the homesteads for actual settlers, and that the land granted as subsidies to railroad corporations, which were not earned in strict couformity with the terms of the grant, should be declared forfeited, and we denounce the repeated acts of the republican senate in refusing to pass the bills of a democratic house declaring forfeited more than 54,000,000 acres of unearned lands and we also emphatically denounce the action of the present republican congress in declaring forfeited those lands coterminous portion of such railroads, amounting to about 5,000,000 acres of land, and doing this soley on the demand of the land grant railroad compauies for the purpose of confirming their titles to the great bodies of their grants, and also doing this with a full knowledge of the fact that the officials of the government intoud, immediately upon the taking effect of said act, to issue patents to said corporations for the reinainiug 49,000,000 acres, which will forever confirm their title thereto.

We arraign the present republican administration, not only for its gross and willful violation of its pretensions in favor of civil service reform by the removal of competent and faithful officers before the expiration of their terms, but for the appointment to office of notoriously incompetent, disreputable and corrupt men and for its reward of unscrupulous partisans because of their corrupt connection with the elections of 1888, in contributing large sums of money to poison the ballot and debauch electors. We denounce it for its false promises to the soldiers of the late war, their wiuows and their orphans.

We denounce it for the payment of stale and rfaudulent claims, for large amounts, while denying to juBt claimauts for small sums a heariug.

We denounce it for prostituting the census bureau to secure partlsau information, to the neglect of a correct and complete census In all sections of the country, and invite the honest people of all classes, industries and parties, to join us in our efforts to reform and' correct these great abuses and wrongs.

The democracy of this district in convention assembled, are more than well pleased with the way in which the Hon. Elijah V. Brookshire hai discharged the duties of the trust confided to bis keeping. They endorse his votes and his speeches in congress as expressions of sound democracy, and commend him to the people of the district as a faithful, honest and able representative.

Chairman Lamb announced nominations for congress in order, and Judge J. C. Robinson, of Terre Haute, placed Hon. Elijah V. Brookshire, of Montgomery pounty for congress, inakiug an excellont 'speech in so doing. In neat speeches Peter F, Lather, of Clay J. F. Beaslev, of Sullivan Dr. W* H. Gillum, of Parke Claude Matthews, of Vermillion: Hon. Jas. McCabe. of Warren, and Judge Davidson, of Montgomery, seconded the nomination, and amid wild cheers, Hon. E. V. Brookshire was declared the unanimous nominee of the convention. The meeting was addressed by candidates for state offices.

The only feature that marred tills glorious meeting was the unavoidable absence of Mr. Brookshire on account of pressing business at tbecaDitol. He had, however, sent a letter which was read. In it be expressed his sentiments regarding Reed's gag law and denounced the unseating or democratic members, lu speaking of the tariff and election bills Mr. Brookshire says: "The McKinley tariff bill is as objectionable, from a democratic standpoint, as a tariff bill could possibly be. Instead of reducing the taxes upon the prime necessities of the people, which both parties had pledged in their convention to do, it is known that it increases the rate of taxation upon all those prime necessities of life, from the condensed milk and swad-

THE CRAWFORDSVRLLE WEEKLY

dling cloth of the little infant, to the tombstone that marks our last resting place. I make this remark in all seriousness, because I remember we especially voted on an item with reference to condensed milk, aud Mr. Caruth, of Louisville, Ky., made a speech against increasing the taxation on tombstones. The issue now on the tariff question is as dear cut as It is possible to make it Democrats are in favor of a tariff for revenue whereas the radical party are In favor of a high prohibitory, protective tariff for the benefit of a-class against the masses of our people.

Mow, so far as the election bill is concerned, I regard It as the worst stroke in favor of cefttrallzed government that has ever occurred In the history of this country. The idea of saying that our people have not the capacity, within the respective political divisions, of our states, to manage their elections, is certainly a very sad commentary on republican government, but the bill was passed certainly for so other reason than to perpetuate the republican party in power. The. republican party is a party that is obedient to the wealthy and influential classes of this country. The McKinley bill was to reward the monopolists who are engaged in manufacturing. The silver bill was a compromise between the rich silver mine owners and Wall street and the great masses of tit people who are Interested having free an unlimited coinage of silver are left out, and the election bill is to suppress the popular will of the masses of the people and to forever put it beyond their power to do away with unjust class legislation."

NOTES.

This is surely a democratic year. Both candidates hail from Montgomery county, but Brookshire is so far superior to his opponent that their names should not be mentioned in the same.

The resolutions adopted were purely democratic. Brookshire will have an easy Mount this time.

Col. John Lee, Hon. Green Smith and other State candidates addressed the meeting^ The Terre Haute Gazette reproduced an excellent likeness of Mr. Brookshire Wednesday morning.

About fifty persons from this county were in attendance.

Mr. Price and Sever Building.

A prominent citizen of this city in conversation with THE REVIEW on Monday, was declaring his intention of leavipg the city. He says there is no work being done by corporations or the county and he has no chance for even a small job at cut figures, as the president of the Board of Commissioners has a favorite contractor who gets in all the snaps. On inquiry of this gentleman some facts were learned which may be of some interest to the taxpayers. The Board has concluded to replace all the culverts on the free gravel ro^ds with brick sewers as fast as they fail. The sewers with exception are let to one man, who gives no bond and has no competition. All that seems to b9 necessary is for him to go out into the county, build a sewer, file bis account, which is allowed without question. The contractor pockets his money, lives fat, and laughs at his brother contractors out of a job. The Chief of the Board, Mr. Price, seems to be an ardent friend and admirer of this contractor, and the contractor as ardently admires Mr. Price. The contractor has a grent snap, and and would bea fool did he not use Mr. Price while he can. The contractor was not objecting to his competitor getting the work but was objecting to the way he got it, and condemned the Board for allowing Mr. Price to carry things with a high band and trample on the rights of the tax payers in order to make himself solid with a certain element. From what the gentleman said he is going to load bis gun for the Milesian member of the Board, and

promised THE REVIEW some facts in reference to the building of sewers by Mr. Price and bis partner, which will be interesting reading. He says contracts have been made for wood, which was to cost less than $150, which the bills paid show to have cost $200. THE REVIEW proposes an investigation of these charges and will place the facts before the public In the course of a couple of weeks.

The Water Works Muddle.

Since the burning of the ice houses and Crabbs & Reynold's elevator the all absorbing topic of conversation has been the water works and fire department. It has been discussed on the streets, in stores, in saloons, in fact every place where two or more persons come together. No two people in the city seem to hold the same view on the matter, and with all the discussion tho point they are after is no nearer. The only sure thing we know is that the buildings were burned and burned to the ground, too. That they should bave been at least partially saved is also conceded by the most radical. That the chief of the fire department was frog hunting aud the regular driver away at the time of the fire at the elevator Is also well known, but nbetb er they both had a right to be away at the same time is a question in dispute. That the water pressure was insufficient with which to fight fire, and there was. no engineer the pump house when the alarm was given is beyond question. The hremen claim the indicator showed only 40 lbs. pressure at «lie time the alarm was given and that that was not sufficient to throw a twenty foot stream, while the water works company claimed that the indicator showed 115 feet ot water in the stand pipe. This was disolosed by a series of investigations this week by the city council,

That the contract between the water company and the city was a conglomeration of nothingness and loop-holes was shown up hy Attorney Brash and any attempts to reach the company through the courts was useless. Thus the matter now stauus. That there is something rotten somewhere is very evident but the council bave totally failed aByetto unearth it.

Antics of a Fish-Hook.

We clip the following from Wednesday's Cincinnati Enquirer: "For some time Florean McFeely, a twelve-year-old boy, has been complaining ot a pain in his side, but continued to run abont as usual and play with other boys.-.This morning his father examined his side and found a dark hard substance just un der the skin. Making a slight incision, he was surprised to find a fish-hook firmly imbedded in the flesh. How it got there is a mystery, but it must have been working around the boy's body for quite a while, as he has felt pains in that part of his anatomy for several months. It required the services of a surgeon to cut the fish-hook out.
