WHO polled Washington township in the interest of the Republican party ' There is a great cry for -soap in the Republican party. Call up Dorsey- , -

“Waterloo” will be common but not popular with Republicans this year. Salt river, ditto. The Republic’ns have been busy polling the county in behalf of the Republican State Central Committee. WnAT would Washington have thought of Star Route thieves or Garfield funeral drunks? His farewell address is very suggestive. “Stevie's Record,” which appeared in The Democrat, last week was copied from the Kokomo Dispatch, and should have been so credited. Do not forget that the battle oKhe ballots takes place Tuesday, Nov. "th. Let every voter turn out. Let Adams county roll up the biggest Democratic majority she has ever recorded. Did you hear the trace chains suspended from the Hon. G. TV. Steeles neck rattle when he was here last Monday night? Such votes will rattle him into his pol itical grave and they ought to. ■ ' 1 —" Democrats to the front and the victory is ours. There is no need of any trading this fall. It is a device of Republicans. Stick to your ticket and you will elect your men. Pull together, work in harmony, vote together and the entire Democrat ticket, state, district and county will be elected. Congressman Steele has been in this county a considerable portion of the week, trying to render an account of his doings, but can only do so in a satisfactory manner to the strictly faithful; those who would vote for “Old Nick” himself, were he a Republican candidate, in preference to an honest Democrat like Ja Daily. The Democratic party of Adams county have elected every county officer they have nominated since 1847; and there will be no exception to the rule this year. There are few counties in the state that have such a rec ord. Further than this, Democratic majorities have been gradually growing, from year to year, with our growth. It is a record that every gray-headed Democrat is proud of, as a result of his labors, his fidelity to Democratic principles, and to the Democratic party. This is a close district. V\ ithout Dorsey-Hubbell interference it would give Joseph S. Daily a nice safe majority. The Repubiieaus have recently canvassed the votes of this congressional district. They know to a man how many votes they lack. They have Hubbell funds without stint, and propose to use it to elect their congressman. Already Democrats have been aoproacbed in this place with offers of money. We have the information direct And after the election there will be plenty oi work for the Grand Jury. They will have a good time ‘getting in their work here. The Democrat would not mention this, except t> warn Democrats in other parts of the dtatrieU Here we •an take cere of ourselves. Dew arats be on your guard.

For the last twenty years the Re- ■ publican party have been gradually increasing the load they have to carry, by legislation to make die rich richer, and the peer poorer, by a gigantic system of public and private peculation; and now they are breaking ;down and going to pieces with the weight of their corruption. Senator Frye s theory is a high tariff, a protective tariff. That the higher the tariff, the cheaper the gnods. lie is like the Irishman who was induced to buy a certain stove, as it would save half the wood. The Irishman proposed to buy two stoves and save it all. That is just the way Frye’s protective tariff works. There is just as m uch sense in the Irishman s argument and logic as there is in Senator Frye s. Steele tells us how he wanted to take the tax off of matches, but the Democrats would not let them, but he failed to tell them of the $12,000,000 taxes that would have been taken off the banks had Democrats voted for the bill to relieve matches. Whenever Democrats refuse to lessen the burdens of taxation upon articles of prime necessity, there was always connected with these bills objectional features that took ten dollars off of rich men where it took o»e off of the common people. There is not a Republican Senator or Congressman in Indiana that dare tell the whole facts, in relation to their vote upon these questions. Steele’s record is bad wherever you touch it, as was shown last week. He has been a faithful representative of the Republican party; of their oppressive class legislation, as was shown in The Democrat last week and has voted to put addition al burdens upon his constituents by increasing the tariff on knit goods so as to increase the cost 85 per cent, when the manufacturers in the days of the great panic only asked twenty 1 to twenty-five per cent additional tar- ] iff Why then this great increase in t these prosperous times ?

The Republican party are neither acid or alkali on the temperance question. They go out on the one hand, saying to temperance Democrats, submission—submission at a special election, where a minority is a majority and shall rule upon the constitutional amendments, and all this in plain contravention of the constitution, which in so many words says the constitution shall not be changed except through a majority of the electors. On the other hand, they stretch out their hand to the “whiskey ring.” whiskey dealers, and those who use ardent spirits, saying do not be frightened. There is nothing in our platform to hurt you. We are your friends. They insult temperance Democrats, by affirming that the Republican party promises the only solution to the temperance question, and propose to carry it out in a manner foreign to the letter and spirit of the constitution itself. And when beaten or false, two faced issues, as in Ohio, that neither prohibitionists or men opposed to extreme temperance legislation endorse, they insultingly exclaim —wiskey did it. This position is illustrated by Shanks and Gleason in this county, who went out into the south part of this township to make a political speech, and forgot to take their whiskey bottle out of the buggy. Who was the guzzler and who the prohibitionists, we leave for .them to explain. There is just as much honesty in the Re publican party of this state on the temperance question, as there is these apostles of temperance going out with a wh skey bottle between them. Temperance people place great stress upon the law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors being a failure, in not preventing drunkenness and crime consequent upon intoxication, and becau sc of tuch failure they claim that such laws legalize drunkenness and crime and are a shame and disgrace to a Christian people. Further back they claim to be the authors of all temperance legislation. They forget in arriving at these conclusions, their logic and argument reacts upon them, and is really a denunciation of themselves, judged by practical results ot their own admission. They forget human government is necessarily imperfect. because laws are enacted to govern imperfect beings, unable to restrain themselves. That no law can be enacted, no matter what penalties may be attached, that will suppress and entirely prohibit the crimes they deplore. The trouble with these people is they live too much in an ideal world. They talk about the ideal man that will appear with the millennium, and with him will come ideal laws and ideal courts and ideal lives such as now exist only a imagination. Prohibition is not self enforcing and will not prevent people with ungovernable appetites from indulging them, whenever opportunity otters. Statistics show that prohibition is only an idea and not a fact. The drunkard who votes for prohibition with the idea that it will loose him Irorn the shackles of appetite, indulges iu a delusion and a snare dial will only sink him deeper, because like a dr-wn.iig man, be catches at a straw. But oue thing will save that mau who is a slave to appetite. And that is to be a slave no longer. Let him reestablish Lis own will as master and he is saved—without it he is lost— prohibition will fteygy save him from the crime of drunkenness, a crjtt e of hisown volition-

The Journal knowingly and willful--1 ly misrepresented The Democrat last week, in its article headed “preachers and politics.” The Rev. Gleason cannot quote one article from this paper to sustain his charge that The Democrat i;- z “decrying against pieaohers and churches.' Preachers and political prc.ohcrs represent two classes of men am cannot be confounded, unless purposely to mislead, misrepresent, or as the foundation for false statements. We said that when a preacher mixed religion and politics together, he made a mighty poor mess of it. That is reaffirmed here and now, and with emphasis. As to preachers, churches or religisn, regardless of denomination or sect, they have their place and command cur profound respect. The political preacher, who can endorse the methods of the Republican party, in steabng the presidency, or its corruption of the ballot, by the McDonald whiskey ring, Star Route Dorsey, and Jay Hubble methods, has the utmost measure of our contempt, and in this we are not alone. Rev. Gleason has been making political speeches over the three counties. Here in our county, he has been listened to by conscientious Democrats, members of churches, who intended to vote for him before they had heard him. His own speeches changed their minds. Voluntarily they can e to us, making these statements, and asked us through The Democrat to say that “Gleason lied, giving u: at the same time the particulars. Policy caused us to be silent. It would be unwise in us to point out his errors, when they were more potent for the Democratic ticket than the voices ai d speeches of friends. These facts are mentioned here to show that we are net alone; that our judgement is concur ed in by the best men in the party, that the political preacher is 1 not a success.

in fact political preachers as a class, without being personal, may be set down as the men who above all others are ready to use any and all means that promise political success without > regard to right or truth. And, if the Republican party have any mean, lit- j tie job, that a pot-house politician would shrink from, they will put it into the hands of a political preacher, with the assurance that it is in the hands of executive ability of the highest order, and will be carried out with the least possible wear, tear or strain of conscience.
