Will Go Republican Unless kmocrats Do Their Duty. esent contest in Indiana is one of lortance to the whole people. Is is measurably true of all genIsles for principle, the conflict now led is especially so, because, first, is a U. S. senator to be elected, and fond, because the state is to bo reapporfed for congressional and legislative poses. Aside from the vast amount of Sgislation to be accomplished these questions are of vital crats are defeated will go into republ' perhaps for twent

The two things first, to get out the teach the voter How his ballot.
Every men interested something to do and unless prompt) effort is made
Indiana will be lost These words
are written advisedly and plainly. Democrats make a fatal mistake in feeling that we are secure without a struggle.
The Dudley-Quay-Clarkson combination, liberally aided by the beneficiaries of the McKinley monstrosity, are arranging to throw all their strength and stratagem into Indiana. They must be met and defeated.
Perfeot polls should be taken in every precinct every doubtful voter who can be honorably persuaded to vote the democratic ticket, should be seen at once. Local advisory committees of ten or more in each of the several .precincts should be formed and meetings held frequently until the day of election. Each man, whether a member of the committee or not, should go to work. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and organization, quick, ing now republi-
close and universal, is the which can save the ci can victory.

Indiana is againsl against the force bill opposi tralization of power dissatisfied with the administration and the republican policy generally. In short Indiana is democratic, but only so when the party is aroused, organized and at the polls.
CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Aftar Puftilnir the McKinley Outrage. The first session of the fifty-first congress closed Oct 1. Its record is one of moBt brutal indifference to constitutional rights and popular interests. The force bill iniquity, elsewhere given in all its enormity, and the McKinley high-tax-robber-tariff bill are among its most terrible examples of damnable legislation.
The force bill, in effect, takes all power of popular election from the people and puts it absolutely in tho hands of the Aristocratic money power of tho country.
The McKinley bill raises the average tax on necettih'et from 47 to 00 per cent

JOSEPH A. 8. MITCIIKI.L.
Judgo Joseph A. S. Mitchell, tho gontleman who received the high compliment of an unanimous renoinination to tho office of supreme judge, which ho has so ably filled for tho pnst six years, is a native of Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood, and after receiving an education in one of the best colleges in the East, entered upon tho study ot law, and when admitted to practice was recognized as ono of the brightest young attorneys in that state. He came to Indiana just before tho war, and when a call was made for volunteers he enlisted in a cavalry regiment ami served nearly four years, during which time he was promoted to the rank of captain of cavalry for gallantry in action.
Upon his return from tho army ho resuined the practice of. his profession, and has ever since held a high position among nis associates, who esteem him not alono lor his widu knowledge of tho law, but for his many excellent traits of character. He was married soon after tho war to Miss Jenrios, daughter of a prominent citizen of uoslien and of the state. Ho never aspired to political preferment, but in 1SS4, when the democracy of Indiana sought a man who would fill the position of supreme judge with credit to the Btate and honor to his party, it instinctively tnrned to him, and that ho has proven himself all they thought him to be, is evidenced in his renomination.
A prominent republican politician and attorney of Kokomo, Judge Blacklidge, speaking of him, Bnid: "There is a man whom I consider embodies all that is honorable in a man and politician. No di.ierenpe what may be the nature of the case it becomes his duty t6 pass upon, whether political or otherwise, his decisions have •Twu ~_e»u fair and just in accordance with the best Construction of the law."
CLAUDK MATTHEWS. ':&•
Farmer Claude Matthows of Vermillion countv, the democratic nominee for secretary ittt state, was born in Bath county, Kentucky. Dec. 14,1S45. and is therefore in his forty-filth year. In our Bister state of the South Mr. Matthews was reared a farmer, though at an early ace ho was sent to Center college, the university of Kentucky from which he graduated inl808. Mrs. Matthews was the only child of Gov. Whitcomb. They moved to Vermillion county in 1809, and immediately took up the occupation of farming, which he has actively followed ever *ince. In the fall of 1877 he was olecte/T'to the stato legislature, overcoming a largo republican majority and having the honor of being the first_ democrp.'c electcd from that county* Again in 1882 Mr. Matthews made

senator when he suc
ceeded in reducing the republican majority from 900 to 300. In 18S0 he was a candidate for the nomination of the office 0( lieutenant-governor, but was compelled to give way in the demand for Gray, lie has been a life-long democrat and farmer and hia nomination as a candidate on the state ticket is due to those facts. He is a fluent speaker and a cordial man to all who know him and is undoubtedly a popular man in both these respects. He is prominently connected with the Farmers' alliance movement, being president of that organization in his own county. His interests and sympathies are in "full accord with tho farmers of the state, whoso true friend he is and always has been. Mr. Matthews_ is a pleasing and fluent speaker, and feels confident that the reforms sought for liia people can be best and quickest obtained through the demo-i cratic party,

The name of AYbertGoll, though widely known throughout the state, is almost constantly before the citizens of Indianapolis and vicinity, in connection with deeds and workings in tho interest of the city and state. Prominent in affairs of Indianapolis and foremost among her citizens, as lie has made himself invaluable as a citizen and business man. Albert Gall was born in Green Bay, Wig., in 1842. During the year 1847 his father, Dr. A. D. Gall, removed his family to Indianapolis to reside, and from here in 1862 Dr. Gall was sent to Antworp as U. S. consul under Pierce's administration, remaining there there until 1868, having served two years in Buchanan's term. Albert Gall went West to seek his fortune, going aa far as California, where he experienced those ups auddowns that were common to the early settlers of that country. Mr. Gall came back to this stato' in J8(M, and went into the employ of •!. and G. Krausn, carpet and wall-paper dealers. It was but a short time before the namo of Albert Gall was placed as a partner io the firm's title, one ot the Krauses having sold his interest to his employe. In this business Mr. Gall has prospered nntil his well-known house is patronized throughout the state. Though the name of Mr. (Sail has frequently been mentioned ty his friends as a candidate for nomination to-several public offices, he has always refused to accept a nomination, and as a candidate for treasurer of state ho came before his party in his first request for favor or oflico. He has been a democrat all his life and since 1800 has always been found in the democratic ranks working for the cause of the partv and his friends* As a member of the Commercial club and the board of trade he has been active in the advancement ol stato and city interests. Past eminent commander of the Raper commandery, knights templars is one of the titles of which ho is proud. He is also a member ,of several prominent German societies.
ORBKH SMTTIt.
The nomination of the Hon. A. G. Smith was highly gratifying to his friends, and will be hailed with great enthusiasm by the democracy of the state. His selection has been conceded since the day that his name was1 announced for the high offico to which he will be elected. Mr. Smith was born in Meggs county, Ohio, in tho year 1848, and in tho year 1800 came to Indiana sad located at North Yernon, Jennings
S
county, where he still resides. Without relatives or friends, as a boy, ho began life, and lor years struggled alotisf amidst many adversities, but through indomitable energy steadily forged his way to the front, aud in 1870 Was admitted to tiio bar of his fuUIU"V' ^or« he has since continued in tho practice of his profession. No lawyer of southern Indiana enjoys a Jiighor reputation as a prnctitioner'or has been a more thorough student of tho law. As expressed yesterday by a professional friend: "Green teinlt.h makes ns determined and intelligent a fight for a client as he does for hiB party, and lew men in Indiana win more hard legal battles than he."
As a democrat Mr. Smith has been actively and earnestly engaged in the SUCCOBS of ins party in every campaign since 1808, and lias a wide and brilliant reputation as a speuker. In 18S4 ho was elected as a state senator from the counties of Jennings and Jackson, running ahead of the ticket ?e.nilt0 he was made a member of the judiciary committ"o and took a verv prominent part in the debates of tha't body. At tho close of the special session he was choBen by his colleagues as president of the senate. Owing to the resignation of Gen. Manson as lieutenant-gov-ernor ho succeeded to tho duties of that office and presided over the memorable session of 1887, which elected David Ttirpie to tho .8. senate. It was during that session that Senator Smith showed himself to ho an excellent parliamentarian and a democratof unflinching courage and ability. Gov. Hill in a speech once said: "In many of our western states it takes a million dollars to elect a U. S. senator, but il Indiana it only takes the courage and ability of Grcon Smith." Honesty, energy and ability will characterize this grand democrat in his fight for the ticket this fall, one could create greater enthusiasm or give the excellent ticket named greater strength. There are very few, if any, more effective speakers in Indiana. He is eloquent, simple, direct, thoroughly informed, .*nd exceedingly convincing. Though never abusive of his opponents, he presents questions of public interest with such force and clearness that he makes votes for his causo wherever he goes, lie should speak in every county in the state.
ANDREW M. SwitEKET.
Andrew M. Sweonsy of Jasper, Dubois county, the nominee for clerk of the supreme court, is a native of Cincinnati, and is thirty-six years old. His early education was obtained by surmounting difficulties that would have appalled a less zealous youth. Ilis father was a contractor, and at a very early ace young Sweeney was put to work driving a cart for a railroad construction company. Isot until he had arrived at the age of fifteen did he obtain the first rudiments of an education. He rapidly acquired a thirst for knowledge, and going to Illinois he entered a
Co
rivate school at Teutopolisin 1864, where remained three years, evincing great proficiency in the classics. After leaving Teutopolis he spent a year in St. Meinard's college, Spencer county, Indiana, graduating therefrom in the classical course. Mr. Sweeney's taste for the classics has earned him an enviable reputation as a linguist. He speaks high and low German, French and Irish, as well as the English language and has a classical knowledge of Latin- and Greek. After teachingone year in the ungradod schools of Dubois county he was chosen principal of the Jasper high school in 1874 and held that position for the succeeding seven years, later being nominated and defeated in 1886 with the rest of tho ticket in the race for state superintendent of public instruction. In 18S1 ho was elected superintendent of the Dubois county schools and served in that capacity for eight years. One yo'^fa'' Mr. Swfnney began the prac-
'John IMS?!?, the Second Slatrict'a nominee for congress. He has been actively engaged in politics since 1876, and has done much in aid of the democratic psrtv. In 1878 he married Miss Helen E. Knefeler of Jasper, and has three children—boys— encli of whom he thinks is a promising democrat Mr. Kweenev thinks the political outlook is of the best, and that he, as well as the rest of tho ticket, will bo elected in November.
Job/a Oscar Henderson of Kokomo, the nonamee for auditor of state, was born in Howard county forty years ago. He received his primary education in the public schoolsof Kokomo. After finishing the high school course'there he entered DeI auw university, from which institution he graduated in 1872. Upon leaving college he returned to Kokomo and at once adopted journalism ns his chosen profession, and in which he has been actively ... engaged up to the present time.

paraiso normal college and after five vears of hard study graduated in 1880 in tho scientifio and classical courses of that institution. Shortly after leaving college ho was appointed superintendent of the Trafalgar public schools and served in that capacity ao faithfully that he was soon called toassumethesuperintendeiicy of tho Franklin city schools. In 18S5 he was elected superintendent of Johnson county schools and has held that office continuously until the present time. Mr. Vories is a thorough educator, having had experience in all brunches of school work and is in eyery way amply qualified to fill the position he will undoubtedly he elected to assume next November. Mr. Vories is confident not only of his own election, but of the entire democratic ticket nominated. He is a handsome man just entering the prime of life, and bis wife, a charming woman, who took a lively interest in her husband's canvass, helped to entertain visitors about headquarters.
PROF. S. S. OORBT,
Nominated for state geologist, is a native of Dearborn county, and is about fifty years of age. In 1887 he became assistant to State Geologist Maurice Thompson. Two years later, upon tho resignation of Thompson, Prof. Gorby was appointed stato geologist by Gov. Gray, and he was subsequently elected by tho legislature. He has brought the experience and study of a life-time to the dnties of this office, and in a few years, has given it a greatlyincreased prominence and importance among the scientists of the country.
W. A. PEELLE,
Nominee for ohief of the bureau of statistics, was born in Wayne county in June, 184-5. When fifteen years of age, the Peolle family settled In Randolph county. In 1874 he was chosen by tlin Jlon. J.'E, Neff to be assistant secretary of state. He was deputy, also, to tho Hon. J. G. Sbanklin, secretary of Btate. In 1883 he was elected chief of the bureau of statistics by the legislature, ahd was re-elected in 188-5. In 1887 thore was no election, but he held oyer, and in 1889 the legislature selected him to succeed himself as chief of the bureau. The supreme court, however, by a three to two decision, concluded that be bad no right to the office, and that it must bo filled by popular election. "Billy" Peelle is known and admired by nearly every one who ever visited the Hoosier capital. Considering the above circumstances surrounding his department, ho has accomplished wonders, and with tho enactment ef proper laws for the government of bis office, he will soon make it an indispensable source of valuable information to the people of the state.
Green Smith's manly tight in the state senate secured a repeal of the law passed in 1881 by the republicans, allowing foreigners to buy up and control the farm lands of this country. He should receivo the vote of every farmer and laborer in tho st^te.
A vote for the democratic candidates for the state legislature is a vote for low taxes. A vote against tho force election bill.

If the title of a ticket is stamped and no names are stamped, the ballot will bo ..counted for all the names on the ticket whose title is stamped. If two or more titles are stampod, the ballot must be
Ire.rod as if either title were stamped. If the title of one ticket is stamped and also names on other tickets, tho ballot must be counted for the names so stamped and a'so for all the names of the title stamped, except the opponents of names tampcd- This is subject to the following oxcoption: In case there are two or more candidates for the same office on the same ticket, as in the case of candidates for tho legislature, judges of the supreme court, justices of the peace,etc., in some counties, if tho title of ono ticket and the names of one or more, but less than all, of such candidates on another ticket are stamped, such ballots cannot be counted for any of the candidates for such offices, for the reason that the intention of the voter is pot apparent. If a votor desires to vote a mixed ticket, as to such offices, he must stamp the name of each candidate tor whom lie desires to vote, whether he stamps the title of tho ticket or not. To avoid possibility of mistako in such cases, election officors should advise voters, if they voto a mixed ticket, to stamp the name of each person voted for.

In making tho count, if any member of the board shall protest or object to the decision of a majority thereof, as to tho counting or not counting of the ticket, such ballots must be preserved bv the inspector, and the poll-clerks must record on the tally-sheets a memorandum stating how the tickets were stamped and counted, describing them for identification.

TWO BAI.LOT.BOXRS AND TWO BALLOTS.
Bad Boxes For Bail Ticket*, and White Boss* For White Tlolcets. As there are two ballots and two ballotboxes, inspectors should be extremely careful to put the red ticket in the red box and the white ticket in the white box.
The initials of the poll-clerks on the back of each ballot should be scrutinized before th. ballot is deposited in tho box, as a safeguard against possible forgery of ballots. In cane a voter offers a ballot that is not folded so as to show the initials of the poll-clerks it should be returned to him, with instructions to go into the booth and refold it so that they will be shown. If a voter offers a ballot so folded that the name of any candidate voted for is disclosed it cannot be placed in the box, and he cannot thereafter be allowed to vote. This ballot should be surrendered and destroyed, and a minute of the occurrence, with thesiatementof the destruction of the ballot, should be entered upon the polllist, opposite the name of tho person.

How th® Indiana Farmer is Swindled.
Voder the Republican Tariff—Extract From Senator Voorheai' 8p««oh in the Booat®, Sept. 3.
How dares the American manufacturer compel the American farmer to pay him ?65 for a mower which he sells in South America for $40, or $90 for a feed-cutter which be sells in the Argentine Republic for $60? The following table discloses in brief space the increase of prices in the protected home market, where the farmer is compelled to buy, over the natural and honeBt prices of the same articles in foreign markets, where it has no protection and needs none:

THE TRUTH ABOUT "JERRY."
Th. nepablloans' Infnraoas Gerrymander. Republican speakers and newspaper organs are making aa uiuoh ado aa possible over what they term a democratic gerrymander of the state. tThey insist that people,vote the republican ticket to secure a "fair apportionment," as they style -it. Well, the last time the republicans were in a majority when the state was to be apportioned was in 1873. They then fixed up the most infamons gerrymander the state ever saw. It was the law for six years, and under it'at the election of 1879, while the slate went democratic by nearly six thousand, the republicans elected nine out of the thirteen congressmen. In other wprds, at that election 53,000 democrats were necessary to elect a member of congress, but 23,000 republicans could elect one 207,000 republican votes elected ninety-two members of the general assembly, while 213,000 democratic votes were only able to elect fi tvelght members. The same men who voted for and approved this outrage are at present around bowling against the present fair apportionment.
Do you want to voto the democratic ticket straight? You do! well, get your ticket. You will see the rooster's head and tail np, ready to crow. You will see just below the fighting fowl,
IZI Democratic Ticket
Now, then, take the stamp and make that atthe left of "Democratic Ticket" look this way 1K3 Then fold up the ticket according to directions and hand it in, and you will have done your share toward ridding the state of republican rule.
If you don't' want to vote "the straight ticket," stamp ont the little in front of the name of each individual candidate. on whatever ticket found, whom you wish to vote for.
A mark or scratch of any kind, except that made bv the rubber stamp provided by the election board, will d®stroy your ticket.
Don't mark yotrr ticket in any way except With the rubber stamp.
Ddn't touch your ballot with pon or peneil.
No pencil marks "go,"

Tho farmers of Indiana will study long before they support any alliwce-rcpubli-can combination ticket. The despairing lenders of the g. o. p., with Miuhener in charge, begun eight months ago the labor of setting in motion a movement which should result in the farmer organizations selecting tickets in democratic counties over the stato, where such a step would naturally be to their advantage. It is a trick, a snare. It will be observed, too, that in no county in the state has the republican pnrty indorsed the farmer movement where they have c'.car majority] and also that they have indorsed na Farmer alliance candidate for the kegislature in any county who has not been a republican heretofore and stands committed^ to vote for the republican caucus noming for the U. S. senate.
A democrat who woald be led ini a political pitfall needs a guardij farmers who do not approve tax-robber-tariff, the force bij of republican extravagance deficiency of $80,000,000, as less legislation, should steel side Bhows and vote the afc cratic ticket*

The same rule of different prices for the same article, depending on its sale at home or abroad, which this list contains is to bo found in the way of discounts and other trade arrangements of from 10 to 70 per cent in favor of the foreign ptxr-' chaser, and discriminating against the home consumer on nesrly every species of manufacture known to American industry. I submit a partial list of utensils indispensable to the farmer whioh are manufactured in this country and sold abfoad cheaper than he can buy thaw here:
Mr. Mill, hns been frank anongh. H. has told the people of VViaconiin that it la the intention of hia democralio party to aubaiitute for a protective tr.rilt a. "tariff for revenue only."

Let us securo an answer to this folly and falsehood from the Tribune itself. On the 5th of May, 1688, it said:
Tb. lowest wag.a paid in this eonntry for Jifcor at all skilled are in industries having prolijtion, and none of tbem pay any mora tbno the market rate for laboiv while all strive to appropriate the entire tariff bounty to themi.lves and give workmen no abare.
On the 11th of February, 1888, the Tribune said: In point of fa« proteoted workmen areth*.. ynn.^t y.M Inrfnl.lmrar. in TTnil»rl and the more highly proteoted the faotorles are th. lasa the wages.
On the 6th of January, 1888, the Tribune said: New England has two strongly distinguished^ elasses of population—tariil-proieoted monopolists and eonpen-ellppers so riob that they don't know how to spend tbeir money, and pauper factory haoda who never get a cent's worth of proteetlon out of the taritt,
The Herald might multiplv these quotations almost without number, but the above will suffice. A campaign is on, Jim Blaine has winked and his servitors in all parts of the country have put their consciences to sleep. The monopolies are to be saved again, and the Chicago Tribune is foremost in the fight in their behalf,

Shortly after his inauguration, President Harrison laid down the rule that "the only way to get satisfaction out of a publie office is to please yourself while in it" Here is the family list of appointments, revised to date, and indicates one way Brother Ben is "pleasing himself" and "getting satisfaction" out of the office. A very rich list this is: 1. The president's brother. 2. The president's brother-in-law. 3. The president's father-in-law. 4. The president's son's father-in-law^ 6. The president's wife's cousin. 0. The president's son's wife's cq 7. The president's nephew. 8. The president's daughter's I in-law. 0. The president's bij law. 10. The president's wlfo^ band. 11. The president's son's I niece's husband. 12. The president's brothij 13. The private secrutasr'yl law. I 14. The secretary of stated 15. The secretary of state's^ 16. The pension commis^io daughters. 17. The Indian commissioner's^ 18. Tho Indian school superintei! wife.
No wonder that the amiable and m3 erly Mrs. Harrison hns taken ground^ quite an elaborate interview, that till white house should bo immediately enlarged.
The Farmers' Homo Mitrkal, Hon. Hugh McCulloch, secretary oi the treasury under Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur, addressed the farmers of the the country as follows:
Farmers have besn so drilled in th. idea that It is tbe home market upon whioh thajr should rely, that they seem to bave been n» conscious of the faot that the home market I. altoieth.r inaufficient for the supply whioh la iaeresslng more rapidity thnn the home market demands, and that either Inoreass of demand or diminution of supply has become a necessity. Weateru farmers are complaining of the low priera of what tbey have to sell, and many of tbein attribute the depression.t«a scarcity of ourrenoy. If they would esas. looking to protectioniala for information and would ezamiue the trade relatione betweea their own oountry and other1 countries they weuld discover that it ia markefe, and not eurrenoy, that ia needed to improve their conditions, The tariff has contributed immenaely to the gains ef manufacturers, while for some time the farmers who have l.au as well tifTat the el.'* °f the year as thsy were st tbe commencement, have been th. exceptions.
U. 8. Senator Allison of Iowa said: I am told that we must legislate so aa te far* nish a home market for all our agricultural rodusts, and that this can only be done by a iah taritt. Any one examinluc the subject will see that our serieultufal products inortas. more rapidly than our population, so that it w. do not .xport these produots in their natural eendition, we must do so ny converting them into manufactured articles and export these articles. But this cannot be don. under a high tariff, for all nations will buy manufaotured products where they are the ebeapest. This rale excludes our highly-taxed manufao* ture. mad. from highly-taxed materials from the markets of the world, although we have natural advantages possessed by no other aa tlon.
