you stamp the square surrounding' tlie emblem and then stamp again somewhere else your vote will not be counted.

THE novelty of voting' a Republican ticket will be experienced for the first time this year by many thousands of Democrats.

THE 4.2")0 pension clerks last year issued 10.313 pension certificates, and rejected 13*,'.S7:i pension claims. Itwas a hard year for

4the

poor overworked

TIIIC approaching Republican victories in all parts of the country will give such an impetus to business as never comes from the success of the Democratic party.

THK Morton Club will be addressed next Tuesday evening by a gentleman who has never voted anything but the Democratic ticket, but who intends this year to vote with the Republicans. Democrats are Republicans- this year in self defense.

LOCIIREN, who signs himself Commismissioner of Pensions, reports that his bureau rejected 132,873 pension claims last year, that 39,085 pensions were dropped from the rolls, and that he saved §25,205,713 whicn he turned back into the treasury.

THERE are two ways to vote a straight ticket. One is to stamp the square surrounding the emblem at the head of the «ticket. The other is to omit stamping the isquare surrounding the emblem and stamp the little square preceding each name.

No Democratic speaker this year has attempted to explain to the soldiers the course pursued against them by the present administration. There were twenty rejections last year to one allowance. Through Democratic papers you can hear of the one but you never hear of the twenty.

TOM REED has contributed a good many admirable epigrams to the literature of politics, but never a better one than that pertaining to cheapness in his recent New York speech. "Cheapness with no money to buy," he said, "is a mockery to the soul, while cheapness with good wages is the delight of life" and that is about all there is of the tariff question.

EX-GOVERNOR POWELL CLAYTON, of Arkansas, has the perfidy bill well sized-up: "It has two legs, one a free trade and the other a protection leg, and they are trying to run in opposite directions two hands, of which pats the laboring man on the back, while the other cuts his throat two faces and two mouths, but no eyes to see the distress of the people, and no ears to hear their cries!"

THE number of pension claims on file July 1, 1894, was 019,027. The number of certificates issued last year was 10,213. If such men as Hoke Smith and Lochren remain at the head of the pension department it will require sixty-one years to clear the files of the pending claims. A claimant who is now sixty years old has some hope that his claim would be allowed when he arrives at the tender age of 121 years.

THE lioston

llcrnld says: "Cuba in

1.S90 exported §53,801,591 worth of goods to these shores, and i'.razil 859, 318,75(1 worth. In 1893 the value of Cuba's exports had risen to 878,70(1,50(1 and that of Brazil's to §70,222,138. •Our exports to Cuba rose from §9,724,124 in 188tf, and §12,(109,509 in 1890, to §23,004,094 in 1893, while the figures for our Brazilian exports rose from §9,27(1,511 in 1889 and §11,902,49(1 in 1890, to §12.349,584 in 1893 and §13,800,000 in 1893-4. From such figures it is plain that both those neighbors have increased their trade with us and have retained the balance of trade in their favor."

IT is so seldom that one can secure terse and truthful statements from Democrats that when such can be found, they should be preserved as choice gems. Here is one from Senator Gorman that ought to be generally read. It shows the result of Democratic rule and how the people suffered from it. He said, on the floor of the Senate: "Our Treasury is depleted there is not sufficient money to pay the current expenses of the Government. FaC' tories are idle, workshops are closed, and lion est mechanics and laborers are tramping the country begging that they may be employed."

STAMP HERE

JIOW TO VOTE.

To vote a straight ticket, stamp once and once only within the square surrounding the eagle and fold your ballot so that the initials of the poll clerks, written on the opposite of the ballot, will be exposed.

Be careful to use a blotter on your ticket after yen have used the stamp so that it will not "blur" or "smut." Any additional marks on your ballot may cause it to be thrown out.

If you are not sure you how how to stamp your ballot you have the right to ask for instructions from the election board.

There will be three ballots this year: The State on one sheet printed on red paper Congressional and county on another printed on white paper Township on another printed on yellow paper. They must be folded separately.

1" A HIS" IIAXCKS (iOOI).

The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commcrcial-Qazcltc last Saturday reviews the situation in this State by Congressional districts. Summing up liis conclusions he says that Republicans are reasonably sure of nine Congressmen from this State with a good chance of eleven. The districts which he regards as certain to go Republican are the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth. Of the Eighth the correspondent says: "The Eighth Congressional district is another in which the Democratic State Committee is concentrating its effort to save a member of Congress, with the prospect that it will not succeed. The district has been carried by the Democrats since 1880, but once or twice, by a perilously close margin. This year George W. Faris, of Terre Haute, has gone out with the intention of bringing Elijah V. Brookshire into camp, and the ^probabilities are that he will do it. The district is composed of the counties of Sullivan, Vigo, Clay, Parke, Vermillion, Fountain and Montgomery. Sullivan county is the stronghold of the'district, with a plurality of about 1,300, but this time Sullivan will show a slump. Gin the Eighth district at the last election the Democratic State ticket had a plurality of 1,348 votes, while the plurality of Mr. Brookshire in the district was 1,022. Of (this Vigo county contributed 440, but at the municipal election last spring the city of Terre Haute, speaking for the county of Vigo, announced a change of heart by electing the Republican ticket by majorities ranging from 900 to 1,500, in itself sufficient to wipe out the margin that the Democrats had in' the district two years ago. The city of Brazil showed the same ratio of gain, and it is not believed to be possible for the Democrats to sufficiently turn the tide that was then set in to save their candidate for Congress. Two years ago the People's party polled in the district 1,792 votes. This year they claim that they will make great gains in the counties of Sullivan and Clay, where the miners are especially strong. Whatever gains they are able to show will, as in every other part of the State, be at the expense of the Democracy. The Populist candidate is Morton J. Rankin, of Terre Haute. The Prohibition party, which at the ast election polled 792 votes, has A. \Y. Jacktnan, of Crawfordsville, for its candidate."

AN ODIOUS KK OIU.

lion. T. T. Moore, the Republican candidate for Joint Representative for Montgomery, Putnam and Clay, has been canvassing this county during the week with Hon. George W. Faris. He has confined himself in all his speeches to State issues and shows up the record of the Democratic -party as debt-mak-ers. He produces the official figures to show that no State in the North has been has been'cursed with maladministration as has Indiana in the last ten years of Democratic control.

In 1800 the Republican party for the first time succeeded to State control. It found a debt of §10,000,000, created by the Democratic party, and this at a time when the natural resources of Indiana were one-fourth what they are at present. Continuing their control until 1872, through the period of a civil war which made enormous drains on every resource of the State, the Republicans reduced the debt from §10,000,000 to §4,000,000.

From 1872 to 1880, a time of peace and plenty, Democracy was again in power. A continuation of the enormous reduction begun by the Republicans, would have wiped out the debt in just that time. The books show that §900,000 was added to the State debt in that time.

Then the Republican party came into power once more,in four years meeting all expenses of the State, and reducing the debt §100,000-

In L884 began another succession of

Democratic legislatures, which has been continued by the grace of a gerrymander which throttles a majority rule as effectually as the South Carolina method. In that ten years the State debt has been increased from §5,000,000 to §9,000,000.

To offset these facts Democratic leaders are "pointing with pride" to an alleged recent reduction of 8700,000 in this debt. They fail to add that this payment was made possible by the government's return to the State of §750,000 paid as direct tax to the government during the Republican period of 1800-72.

No comments need be made on this record. It speaks for itself loudly enough.

TIIAT l'l'LLMAX ItOOKIl.VCK, The story that George M. Pullman had given §250,000 to the Republican campaign fund was a self-evident fiction. You would not catch George M. Pullman giving away large sums of money for any cause. He has not the gift of giving—in large amounts. His contribution may have been §2,500.00. the wicked Democrats getting the pointing wrong. And if it was that sum we have not a doubt that the great man has been pluming himself on his generosity ever since he gave it. —Indianajtolifi News.

The story that George M. Pullman had contributed 8100.000 to the Indiana Republican campaign fund is cut from the same piece of cloth. It is a fake of the first water. To say that this money is to be placed in the doubtful legislative districts is equally as absurd as the main story. Under our system of voting the money could not be used if the campaign managers had it in their possession, witn. any assurance that the goods would be delivered. We do not question the truth of the accusation implied by the Democratic newspapers against their own voters that they are for sale, but under the circumstances Republicans must decline the offer. In a paragraph yesterday referring to the Chicago story the Indianapolis Journal says:

The Republican managers were seen separately by the Republican evening papers in that city, and both denounced it as a fake. They declared that they had not asked the Pullman company for a contribution, and that it had not contributed a cent. The officers of the Pullman company made a similarly emphatic denial. The Chicago News. an independent free trade paper, did not consider the story of sufficient importance to notice it. Such stories seem to show the desperation of the managers of the Chicago Democracy.

When Democrats concoct campaign lies they should not make them so heavy that they will fall of their own weight.

THE COMMISSIONER OK S1MES. A few weeks ago the charge was made against Commissioner of Pensions Lochren that he had sent letters to Democratic postmasters throughout the country stating that communications concerning pensions would be held as confidential if requested. As postmasters have no connection with the pension department the question arose why such a communication unless it was to assure them that they would be protected in any sneak work they might do against any pensioner. At any rate it raised such an storm that Mr. Lochren was compelled to deny the report. The Cincinnati Commercial Oazette publishes a facsimile of the letter which the Commissioner sent out to an Ohio postmaster, which is convincing evidence that Mr. Lochren simply lied when he denied the charge. It can be said to the credit of a large number of Democratic postmasters that they cannot be used by Mr. Lochren for such a nefarious purpose. While this is true there is nu doubt that a large number would delight in engaging in such business. A meanly partisan postmaster has it in his power to have a pensioner dropped and in other ways annoy him. Could malignant hate toward the pensioner go further?

PEOPLE with an inquisitive turn of mind are hereby warned to stay away from Mr. Faris' meetings, or if they go to ask no questions.—Anjus-News.

The ejection referred to in the above was made at the request and upon an imperative demand of a prominent Democrat who holds an official position. The prominent Democrat said was there to hear what Mr. Faris had to say and did not desire to be disturbed by a man who was drunk. Mr. Faris afterwards said, in speaking of the episode, that the question put to him was entirely a proper one and in propounding it the gentleman did not in the least disconcert him. Later on when he came to that part of his subject he did answer the question by saying that he was in favor of the principles contained in the MeKinley law and would certainly vote for a law which would protect every American interest whether that would be the MeKinley bill or some other bill framed on similar lines. The Discouraged Democracy realize the inevitable fate that awaits them and like the drowning man catch at every floating straw in the vain imagination that it is a piece of timber of sufficient dimensions to save them from sinking. A whole stack of such straws will not save them.

THE Democratic workers are busy now whipping back the dissatisfied into line and making all sorts of fair promises if they will but vote the t/cket but just once more.

DEMOCRACY IS A TAX. The Fifty-first Congress which had a Republican majority in both Houses passed what is known as the Direct Tax Refund bill. The purpose of the law was to refund or repay to the different States the amounts they had paid during the war in the way of direct taxes levied by the government. Many of the States had never paid their quota, especially the States that had seceded. By the terms of the refund bill the money still due from these States was remitted, and of course not having paid anything would not be entitled to any portion of the amount appropriated. It required about §15,000.000 to settle these claims. Indiana's share was §720,000. Of this sum §710,000 was applied on a payment of her State debt. This payment is the onty one that has been made notwithstanding the much boasted and greatly praised tax law has been in force for three years. During the last ten years the State debt has increased from §4,000,000 to nearly §10,000,000. and during,that time the State has paid over §3.000.000 in interest, even borrowing the money to pay this interest. The question arises, what has become of all the money collected from the people by this increase of taxation during- the last three years? The Auditor of State announces with a flourish of trumpets, just on the heels of the election, that he intends to pay in November the sum of §200.000, and that in January he will pay §300,000 more, and this added to the §710,000 which the State received from the general government will make §1.210,000 paid oil the debt. The reader will observe that -the 8500.000 to be paid in November and January is yet in the form of a promise, and we all know what Democratic promises are worth. The people having been living on them for the last two years and they have found them to be wonderfully tliin gruel. If this additional promise is redeemed they shall have the credit. At any rate the people of Indiana have learned that the Democracy is a tax.

TiFE'new tariff law is not yielding the amount of revenue, nor does it promise to yield, in the near future, the amount that was estimated by its advocates in Congress, or by the Secretary of the Treasury. Washington dispatches point out that for the fortyseven days from [September 1 to October 18 the receipts of the Treasurj7 from all sources were §33,02S,819. During the same period the expenditures were §52,509.018. This would indicate a yearly deficit of more than §147.000,000. With the allowance that the sugar duty will yield all that is expected of it. §40,000,000, there will still be a balance on the wrong side of a hundred-odd millions. These figures are eloquent as to the wise and sagacious character of Democratic statesmanship! They tend to confirm the prevailing opinion that the Democrats do not know how to run the government.

Din you ever know the time when a dollar would go further in the purchase of sugar?—Review.

Under the MeKinley law there were times when you could buy 25 pounds of granulated sugar for SI, and the farmers bought it with §85 and §100' horses, 80 cents wheat, and 25 cent wool. Now they can buy only 21 pounds of sugar for the dollar that he receives from §25 horses, 45 cent wheat and 10 cent wool.

FROM September 1 to October IS the Government has been running behind in the expenditures over the receipts at the rate of §403,727 a day. As a revenue provider the new tariff law has not proved to be a brilliant success. After the election it is very evident now that another §50,000,000 in bonds must be issued. Verily, the Democracy is a tax.

THAT long "special" from Indianapolis which the Anjus-Ncivs printed yesterday making a "startling expose"', was manufactured by the Democratic State Central Committee and .sent to all the newspapers of that persuasion in the State. It bears the stamp of fraud on its face. As the almanacs would say, "About now look out for campaign fakes."

THE candidates for Congress, in Kentucky, are calling each other "liars," "infamous falsifiers," and many Other ugly names, all of which insults are borne with Christian patience. Even Kentucky is making some progress toward civilization.

THE Republican skies are bright and the signs encouraging for a glorious victory on November G, but we desire to caution Republicans against overconfidence. There should be no let-up in work until every Republican vote is in the ballot-box.

EUGENE V. DEHS has promised to make a Populist speech in Terre Haute on the evening of November 3, and the Populist county committee says that on that evening there will be one of the greatest political demonstrations that *vas ever seen in the Prairie City.
