THE DEMOCRAT. BY S. HAY WILLIAMS. Terms: $1.50 a Year in Advance. DECATUR, INDIANA, Thursday, August 12, 1880. I sa 7 1 Im I HTNCLISH DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President, GEN. W. S. HANCOCK, of Pennsylvania For Vice President, HON Wil. 11. ENGLISH, of Indiana. DEM OC RAH CM E ETING! There will be a grand Democratic meeting at Decatur. Indiana, on Saturday. August 11 1880 The living issues of the day will be honestly and intelligently discussed by Hon. Hugh Dougherty and Homer L. Martin, of Bluffton, Hon. David V. Baker, Democratic candidate for Representative, Capt. W. J. Hillegass, of Huntington, and Judge Jas. R. Bobo, of Decatur. Democrats, turn out. This is the opening meeting of the campaign. Let us make it a creditable one. By order of the Committee. ' • —A shrewed farm hand bought for $l6O the big meteor which fell in Emmet County, lowa last year, and was laughed at by his comrades for what they conceived to be his idiocy. He has now sold it to the British Museum for $6,500. —J. T. France is having excellent meetings throughout the country. On Monday night he spoke to a good-sized audience at Briant, Jay county. John W. Smith, of Portland, was also there and addressed the meeting. On last Saturday night Mr. France was at Simcoke’s, southwest from town, and assisted in raising a hickory pole. —Taylor, the Republican candidate for congress from the 12th district, has hired the Fort Wayne News to print his speeches, thus slapping the Gazette, the recognized organ of his party, square in the face. The News is no longer “the people’s paper,” but on the contrary the stalwartest kind of i a stalwart Republican sheet. For abuse j and curbstone argument the A’ews has i degenerated to almost a level with the ! Gazette. ■ Mr. Editor:—On Friday night last. I went to hear a Republican speech at the Court House, by a Mr. Marsh, of Winchester. lie made quite a lengthy harangue, and wished to be thought very fair in his statements and inferences drawn from them; but his ingenuousness was only in appearance. For. after having voted for Gen. Grant for two terms in succession, and probably to nominate him for a third term, how could he have been honest in his pre tended fear that Gen. Hancock would fail from want of experience in statesmanship to conduct the affairs of the Government successfully, if elected President ? Surely Gen. Hancock Las had as much experience in Governmental matters as the Galena tanner had before he was elected. His letter to Gov. Pease, of Texas, and his celebrated order No. 40, when in command of the Military Department of Louisiana and Texas, advocating and commanding the subordination of the military to the civil authorities of those States, are sufficient proof on this point. His claim that a return to specie payments was owing to the foresight and skill of Republican financiers, of which John Sherman was chief, was equally fallacious and wide of the mark. A return to specie payments was

brought about in spite of the law setting a time for it, and before that period had arrived. Had the Republicans in Congress got their way to it, and got the demonetization of silver made perpetual, as they tried to do, but which was thwarted by the Democrats, resumption would have been postponed indefinitely, notwithstanding the terrible and widespread suffering and bankruptcy entailed by the law fixing a specified time for resumption to take place. Mr. Marsh alluded to the great expense occasioned by the appointment of a number of committees by the Democrats after they got the power in Congress, to investigate the crookednesses of Republican officials. He alleged that it was a useless expenditure as they had found nothing wrong. He forgot the revelations resulting in the impeachment of a Cabinet officer (Belknap), and the disgrace and displacement of Babcock and others near the throne. He forgot the Venezuela matter: the Emma mine fraud; the District of Columbia swindle; the Freedmen’s Savings Bank outrage; the Whisky Ring crookedness, to say nothing of the gigantic Credit Mobilier swindle in which Gen. Garfield, Colfax and manyother Republican magnates were inextricably mixed up. He forgot, moreover, the recently discovered discrepencies brought to light by Senator Davis, who was appointed to investigate the books of the United States Treasury. Mr. Davis reports that within the last ten years erasures have been made, leaves torn out and figures altered, amounting to the enormous sum of not less than two hundred millions of dollars of the people’s money 1 which sum has been used, no doubt, to carry elections, or for private gain. Another thing claimed by Mr. Marsh was the great reduction of the national debt.— This claim is not tenable. It was not his party, strictly speaking, that is entitled to the credit of what little has been paid. It was the hard working farmers, mechanics and laboring men of the country, of all parties, that, for the most part, are justly entitled to the credit of it. They did this, too, in spite of the fact that the Republicans in Congress exempted the rich bondholders from paying taxes on their bonds, and in spite of the fact that they changed the contract to pay the 5-20 bonds in greenbacks, to making them payable, principal and interest, in gold, whereby an additional burthen of some sixty hundred millions of dollars was added to the debt of the people, for the benefit of the rich bondholders and national bankers. Mr. Davis in prosecuting his investigations brought to light the fact that, since the war, more than five thousand millions of dollars have been collected from the people with which to run the Government, and pay what little has been paid on the public' debt, which debt, in the first place only amounted to about half that sum ’ If the Republican officials have been honest, as Mr. Marsh claimed, what has been done with this vast sum of money ? Mr. M's chief effort was to convince his audience that there was no need of a change; that the Government was being administered as economically and honestly as possible. But, the readers of The Democrat will see by the above facts, to say nothing of the Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer steals, and Garfield's complicity in them, that a change is imperatively demanded. Mr. Marsh made a strenuous effort to convince his hearers that Garfield was the very personification of honesty; that the charges of complicity and corruption in regard to the Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer affairs were wicked lies, got up for political effect. If such was the case his own constituents were the ones who did more to fasten the obloquy upon him than all the Democratic editors and orators combined have been able to do. They were so disgusted at his course in Congress as to these disgraceful and fraudulent matters, that they held a convention and passed a long string of resolutions denouncing his conduct in regard to them in the strongest and bitterest terms, and at the next succeeding congressional elec--1 lion his majority was cut down, in con--1 sequence, about 7000 votes below what his usual majorities had previously been. Besides this, the New York Tribune and other leading Republican

papers, as well as the Poland Committee, composed mostly of Republicans, charged Mr. Garfield with being mixed up in the Credit Mobilier steal, even to the extent of being guilty of perjury ’ In addition to all this, and exceeding in turpitude, all his other crimes, was his complicity in the rape of the Presidency. Taking into view all the crookednesses of the Republican candidate for the Presidency, superadded to the fact that Mr. Arthur, candidate for Vice President on the same ticket, was but recently turned out of officeby President Hayes, at the instance of John Sherman, for dishonesty, how in the name of common sense, can any man have the audacity to stand up and say that “no change is needed in the Administration of the general Government ? It must take an almighty amount of cheek to stand up and make sucn a bold and mendacions assertion in this enlightened day and age ! Observer.

Dr. F. 4. Jellett. [Denton (Texas) Monitor, July 23.] As announced very briefly in our last issue, Dr. F. A. Jelleff died on the night of the 14th inst. His death occurred at the residence of Mr. J. G. Alexander, about four miles north of Denton. The deceased had been sick for some time before his death, and, though sad, it was not unexpected. He came to our country from Decatur. Indiana, about four years ago, in hopes that our mild salubrious climate might check the inroads of that terrible disease —consumption—with which he had been wrestling. For a time his health seemed to improve, but it was but temporary, and he was at last compelled to succumb. During his last illness no pains were spared by his devoted young wife and the many friends his good qualities had won, to render him as comfortable as possible. He was buried at the Odd Fellow's Cemetry on Wednesday the 15th. by the Odd Fellows at this place, to which order he had long been a member. Though far from his old home, and surrounded by but few of his kindred, yet he was made to feel during his last hours that he was within the pal of the great brotherhood of Odd Fellowship, which knew no section, creed or distinction, but ever opens its arms to deeds of mercy, and sees that none within its mystic folds are left to die neglected and alone. Dr. Jelleff was born in the state of New York in the year of 1829, consequently 51 years of age. He leavesan aged mother and three children in Indiana and a loving, devoted wife in Texas. He was a man of Stirling worth, a good physician, and a successful business man. He is said to have left considerable property in Indiana as well as some in this state. He made a will about three weeks before his death, which makes ample provisions for his wife, and gives the remainder to his children. To the bereaved wife, and to his friends in Indiana, the Monitor extends its profoundest sympathies in this sad affliction. Astonishing' the World.
