COST OF SUPERVISORS.

The Review in speaking of the election supervisors

Bays:

The cost of this service is enormous, and when taken in the countrv at large, it foots into millions of dollars. These supervisors serve two days, and are allowed $5 a day when there are funds in the treasury available. There are over 3,000 election precincts in the State, which at $20 for each precinct, would make over $60,000.

The Revieiv'p statement is entirely erroneous. Section 2,031, of the United States laws which provide for tho appointment of election supervisors, reads 88 follows: "And there shall be allowed and paid to each supervisor of election compensation at the rate of five dollars per day for each day he is actually on duty, not exceeding ten days but no compensation shall be allowed, in any case, to supervisors of election, except to those appointed in cities or towns of twenty thousand or more inhabitants."

It will be seen therefore that the election supervisors will not cost Montgomery county a farihing. Orawfordsville not being a town of 20,000 inhabitants no compensation will be allowed to supervisors for this city, as E. E. Ballard and C. W. Wright, who were Democratic supervisors in 1888, will testify.

A PREPOSTEROUS CLAIM.

The claim put forth by the Democrats that three or four thousand Indiana Republicans will follow Judge Gresham into the Democratic party is to assert that there are three or four thousand Republicans in Indiana who have no minds of their own, and have to depend on Bomebody else to show them how to vote. If Judge GreBhem can assign any good reason for going over to the Democracy just now, his reason may influence others but to say that Republicans will follow him without any reason therefor except that he saw fit to abandon the Republican party, is preposterous. Republicans have mindB of their own, and vote from principle. They do not follow men. They are not manworshippers and if Goa Harrifion himself were to go over to the Democracy under the influence of some imaginary or real grievance, we doubt if a dozen Republicans in all the United States would follow him. Judge Gres-

ham may have reasons that will satisfy him in leaving the Republican party, but he has not given them to the public, and until he does his going over to the camp of the enemy will have no more weight than any other man's changing from one party to another.

BR00KSHIRE AND WOOL.

Mr. Brookshire gives as his reason for voting to put wool on the free list that we cannot raise wool in this country of the kinds our manufacturers require. Our climate and soil, it is asserted, are not adapted to the growth of either very fine or very coarse wool. But all this boph is completely dissipated by the great wool merchants of Philadelphia, Messrs. Justice, Bateman & Company. In speaking of this Democratic argument, they say: •'These statements are not correct in any particular. The finest and (soundest wool ever raised in any part of the world has been raised from Saxony sheep in the section of the country where the rivers flow towards and into the Ohio Valley."

And Hon. Jerre M. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, has shown that plenty of coarse carpet wool can be produced in this country if we give it adequate protection. Mr. Brookshire's claim is false, and is made only with the hope of catching some votes from the wool manufacturers.

THE Lodge election law, which it suits the policy of the Democrats to dub the "force bill," was merely an extension and elaboration of the present law governing Congressional elections. On October 5, 1888, just a month before the Presidential election at which he was a candidate, Hon. Grover Cleveland, then President of the United States, sent the following letter to Attorney General Garland: "You are hereby requested to take general charge and direction of the execution of the statutes of the United States touching the appointments of Supervisors of Elections and special Deputy Marshals, and the performance of their duties and their compensation so far as these subjects are by the Constitution and laws under the supervision and control of the executive branch of the Government."

Our Ragged Reuben and Swallowtail friends who are howling themselves hoarse over the application of Republicans for Supervisors in this county should put the above morsel in their pipes and smoke it. In compliance with the instructions of Mr.Cleveland,JohnA. Booe and other good Democrats asked for Supervisors in this county in 1888.

THAT bankruptcy of the United States Tieasury which the Democrats have been talking about for several years stiil refuses to materialize. On the contrary, the Treasury statement shows that after meeting all proper demands during the past month there has been an increase of $2,000,000, in the amount of available cash on hand, since the first day of September. Wonder if there is a single Democrat who would object to personally going through that sort of bankruptcy? The Democratic calamity wailers now so numerous on the stump will find it convenient to say nothing about this little matter they are not over fond of the truth any way, as those who have listened to them have long ago ascertained.

MB. BBOOKSHIRE is "between the devil and the deep sea" on the Bugar question. No amount of persuasion can induce him to say whether he will vote to restore the sugar tariff or vote to leave it on the free list. If he votes to leave it on the free list, he will thereby endorse a Republican measure, and if he votes to restore the sugar tariff he knows he will surely defeat himself thereby. Hence nothing can induce him to open his mouth on the subject. Come, brother Brookshire, don't act the coward any longer on the subject. Let the people where you stand. g'}/

DAVID A. COULTEK, of the Ninth District, has tendered his resignation as elector for that dietrict, for the reason that he is cashier and director in the Farmers' Bank of Frankfort. Because of his position in the bank he withdraws from the ticket. The District committee tooi immediate action and appointed W. R. Hines, of Frankfort, to supply the vacancy.

AFTER October 9 a change of a voter's residence from one precinct to another will cost him his vote. If he has to move he should do so before next Sunday, or wait until after the election. This point iB important and any one knowing of voters contemplating a change of residence should report the same to the Republican,.Central Committee.' *-T'

THE venerable David Dudiey Field contributes to the October Forum an article Bhowing that whatever methods of political reform may be discussed or tried, the primary election must be the pivot for all effective work. He proposes that a nomination be made by every man when he registers.

FARMERS' DISCOVERY

THEY LOOK UPON THE PEOPLE'S PARTY AS ASSISTANT DEMOCRATS.

CJmrilling to Vote with tlio Third Party Wlieu Such ii Vote Will Help Put Cleveland in the White House—Hitter Recollections of Sparks' War on Homesteaders

[Special Correspondence.]

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—The assistant Democratic party, called by courtesy the People's party, is finding its efforts to capture Republican votes in the west and northwest far from a success. Word comes from all the western states where the Democrats are attempting to hoodwink the Republican voters by getting them to vote for the third party ticket, that the effort is proving unsuccessful. Those who have heretofore been Republicans are beginning to see that the Democrats are merely making a cat'spaw of them by secretly pushing the third party movement among them. They find, not only that every Alliance man in congress was an assistant Democrat, but that a vote for Alliance candidates means a vote to put Grover Cleveland in the White House and the Democrats in control of tho house and senate. The Third Purt.y Merely a Democratic

Assistant.

They are seeing that the third party tannot expect to accomplish anything more in the ^lection than to weaken the Republicans and strengthen the Democrats. They see that if the third party carries any of the western states for its electoral ticket it will merely take that many votes away from the Republican candidate and not improve the situation in the slightest degree. They are beginning to realize that by casting their votes for third party electors they will help put into the White House a man much more hostile to silver coinage than is Mr. Harrison a man much more hostile to the old soldiers who 6aved the country a quarter of a century ago a man more hostile to reciprocity, which has opened new markets for our farm products to the extent of many millions during the past year a man absolutely hostile to the protective system under which the wonderful prosperity of the past two years has been brought about a man and a party pledged to the reestablisliment of a wildcat currency under which the farmers suffered losses amounting to millions of dollars, and a man under whose former administration and by whose consent thousands upon thousands of honest homesteaders were branded as dishonest and their homes taken from them by unjust and arbitrary methods.

Farmers "Getting Onto" the Democratic) Scheme.

All this the Democrats are scheming to bring about through the operations of the assistant Democrats—the People's party. And the farmers of the northwest are beginning to get thoroughly onto" this feature of the situation. They are thoroughly understanding the game which the Democrats are attempting to play. They see clearly that there is no ghost of a show for the election of the candidate of the People's party, and that by voting for their electors they are simply reducing the chances of Repulicau success, and thereby increasing the prospect of a return to power of tho man whose administration at a single blow attacked the title to over 40,000 homes and went out of office leaving literally hundreds of thousands of honest homesteaders unable to complete the title to the homes they had been struggling for years to make their own.

Bitter Recollections €f the Cleveland AriminiHt ration.

They are contrasting the experience during the past three years with those of the four years under the Cleveland administration. They remember with bitterness how Mr. Cleveland's administration of the land office by arbitrary and outrageously unjust methods destroyed tha titles to thousands of homes which had been fairly and honestly earned by homesteaders. They remember that Commissioner Sparks in a single order suspended all entries of public lands in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Washington, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and Minnesota, throwing them all into the "fraud division," even where they had already been "proved up" for patents before the officers of tho land office. This single order affected more than 40,000 homes, and during the entire period of the Cleveland administration titles for homesteads and pre-emption titles were doled out at the rate of only 2,000 or 3,000 a month, while under the present administration they have been issued at the rate of over 10,000 per month. Tliey Don't Want Their Homes Again

Eudungered.

These people, who remember the anxiety and sufferings of those long years when the titles to their homes were being unjustly attacked and rendered valueless for at least present use, are not willing to return to that condition of affairs. And they are recognizing the fact that a vote with the People's party is merely an indirect vote to put Grover Cleveland again in the White House and his methods of obstruction again in control of thousands—yes, hundreds of thousands—of homes. And they are not willing to do it.

Assistant Democrats Alwuys.

They have been studying the record of the representatives of the assistant Democratic party—the People's party in congress—and find that they have in every instance co-operated with the Democrats, and that by electing People's party congressmen or electors they are simply strengthening the hands of the Democracy and paving the way to another attack upon the titles to hundreds of thousands of homes through the northwest.'-

During the eleven years the Republicans had a majority in the house of representatives they reduced taxation 8300,000,000, and during the eleven years tho Democrat* have had the house they only reduced_taxatlon

Another "Congratulation" on Maine.

Chairman Manley, of the Maine Republicans, evidently believes in the old adage that "he laughs best who laughs last." Anyway, lie is now having his "laugh." Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic committee, sent out a congratulatory address to the Democrats on the result of the Maine election without waiting for full returns. Now that the votes are all counted Mr. Manley has his turn. He says: "The Republican state committee desire to congratulate the Republicans of Maine upon the full and complete victory achieved on Monday last. Tho Democratic party, with the best organization it has had for years, failed to poll as many votes by 6,000 as it gave to its candidate for governor in 1888, and did not cast as many votes as it gave its candidate for governor in 1884, in 1880 or in 1876. Complete returns show that the Republicans have elected Henry B. Cleaves governor by 12,300 majority over the Democratic candidate have returned to congress Hon. Thomas B. Reed, Hon. Nelson Dingley, Hon. Charles A. Boutelle and Hon. Seth L. Milliken by large majorities have elected thirty out of thirty-one senators, 110 out of 150 representatives to the legislature, and have elected a majority county officers in every county in the state

SOUTHERN FRANKNESS.

Some Sample Sayings by Peoplo Who Speak for tho Democrats.

1 am for the brave Buffalo man who slapped the dirty pensioners, who are for the most part beggars, in the face. They were dirty and lousy rascals who came into this country, and who abused women, who burned homes, who stole all that was in sight, and today, without an honorable scar, are bleeding this country, and I am helping to pay for it. Let the hired Yankees howl! I am of the south and for the south. The pension fraud is a theft, and we repeat that no man can honestly defend it. The south has been taxed to death to pay this Grand Army of rascals—those bottlescarred bums who reach in the empty palm—and when Cleveland struck the beggars in the face he did a good business job. We hope to God that he may have a chance to hit 'em again. Vagrants and mendicants should be both vigorously slapped and kicked.—Durham (N. C.) Globe.

Cleveland vetoed over 250 pension bills and allowed a large number to d: by what is known as the "pocket veto." Because of this work Cleveland was defeated four years ago, when he should have been re-elected.—Raleigh News Observer.

This drain of $40,000,000 is exhausting the energies of the south, and, in connection with tho tariff taxes, has reduced the southern farmer to a condition of actual want. The continuation of Benjamin Harrison in the presidential chair opens the way for a still further looting of the treasury. A service pension bill will be passed before long unless the people drive off the looters.— Memphis Apneal (Dem.)

The Hfrd That Thrives on Calamity.

NA/(TTA

The resolution of the convention In favor of bimetallism declares, I think, the true and necessary conditions of a movement that has, upon these lines, my cordial adherence and support. I am thoroughly convinced that the free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will maintain the equality in their commercial uses of tile two coined dollars would conduce to the prosperity of all the great produeing and commercial nations.—Harrison's Letter of Acceptance. ii

The plusli mills of free trade England are closing down and those of protected Americu are opening up. The Knglisli manufacturers say it is due to the Melt in lev law.

Painful, but True.

It is admitted by the Democrats that the appropriations of the first session of the Fifty-seconu congress in the lower house, of which they have a majority of 151, amount to $507,711,131.04, which is more than $44,000,000 greater than the appropriations of the first session of the Fifty-first congress.—New York Adveriser.

Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted.
