That is to say, they will almost as a,unit, upport the/Democratic ticket, in this state. I Indiana is good for twenty thouand Democratic majority this fall. Qie policy of the administration has disrupted matters so much in the Republican party that We may expect a big yoje from the kicking element. It’s bound to come over. Col. Briant, the Republican nominee for congress in this district, is a big manufacturer of Huntington, The republican parly had no „ need for farmer Harter When this protected manufacturer concluded • he would make the race for”com gross. Ron. W. I>. Bynim has been re ’ nominated for congress by the • Democrats in/the Indianapolis district. lie is one bf the leaders in the House of Representatives and should the House have a Democratic majority next year, it is thought he will be'elected speaker of that body. •*. ' The Democrats of this state . should remember that any voter who moves from one county to another or from one township to an other after to-day (Efiday) will lose his vote. It is to be hoped that no .• democrat will be compelled to change his residence at least until after the election. Prof. 11. D. Vokiks, the Democratic candidate for Superintendent ot Public Instruction, is a graduate of the Northern Indiana Normal School. This school has the reputation of turning out some of the best educators in the state among whom is Mr. Vories, the present superb.Undent of Johnson county, <=»> ■

r'on fa ame ns' T ’ fleftion: Actot'ding to the census of 1880, ! sayJs t < Indianapolis Sentinel, the! invested in manufacturing : at Ojiat Jiue in the United States I waa/iW' ihJ,3d?.,OGO. The raw material used amounted to 306,82,3, ■ l>4o, and the labor cost was $017,7L3,795, making the cost of the finished piodwvt 344,577,344. The value .of. thft projduct is stated to , have been .$5,360,570,1"J 1, leaving a ' profit,, according to the statements of the manufacturers themselves, of 7, or over 36 per cent, on the capital invested. It will also be noted that labor received only about 23g>erjsent, of the cost of the product, or a little over onehalf of the present average tariff. In other words, that labor may receive 23 per cent, of the cost of production, the manufacturer wants a tariff of 43 per cent, on the product. He demands that the people shall be taxed 2 cents for every one' he pays his workmen. Is it any wonder that so many manufacturers are becoming millionaires? & While the manufacturer was making 36 per cejit.™36o per cent, in ten years— what were the farmers doing? Take the seven states of Ohio, lowa, Wisconsin and Michigan as an example of the wltQle. According to the census the farms in these seven states, and all that was on them, liiciudiiig stock, grain, irnplenents, etc., were valued at f,ln IW ..... . .. ' . ../\i.XlA\2!‘> in l't< ... . . . L'>6.W'.'> inerenselh valuo .... •'>.*S7,>’> [ According to a carefully prepared j artie’e in the St. Louis I',p>ibU<- the mt rtgages on these farms were: 'n Ch' . .. . . 'Oi. tt ;»1 ' . '"i,'"ii I nei-i-ixe in iMcrvtsv in value . Net ilecreusb in .■value So that in the twenty years, dnrng which the manufacturers were i ncreasing their assets, more than i I,( 00 per cent., the farmers Yin the ■ M‘Ven l est .agricultural state*’ lost | „>ver a billion and a q-uarter of dol-1 lars. < These conclusions can be verified ■ by any farmer, who will look around bis own neighborhood and compare £ ’he condition of his neighbors now and before the war. Then look at the adjacent city or town, and see the number of wings anil stones that have been added to the shops there! Then count the farmers’ have been starved but, ihd forced to seek employment in ' these shops' If this is the condition in the bC£t states, how is it in the poorer? There is plenty of food hefe icq reflection by the farmers o! Indiana. It is hardly probable that the Wabash I’lubi TJtultr one of the most radical Republican papers in the state, would give to Editor Ashcraft’s remarks at Wabash more weight than they deserved when there was no cause to misrepresent, and therefore ihe attempt to modify the language and the Plain L>ealei'\ weak apblogy for ' getting our neighbor in such an embarrassing position,' will not have any particular weight with the people who have carefully looked into the case. The responsibility of this affair lies wholly within the Republican Tanks. The democratic state ventral committee has organized with L. Jewett as chairman. Mr. Jewett has appointed J. E. Riley : secretary ahd John P. Frenzel treasurer. For the executive committee, Isaac P. Gray, Joseph _E. McDonald, Edward Hawkins, James 11. Rice, John P. Frenzel and George 0 W. Geiger, of Indianapolis, S. P. Sheerin, of Logansport, and C. B. Stuart, of Lafayette, were selected. Have* you carefully read the ' Democratic state platform? It is conceded to be the ablest exponent of Democratic principles ever adopted by the party in this state and most assuredly upon its broad precepts the party will move forward to victory thi« fall. All efforts of 1 the republicans to successfully couni teract its with the people will avail nothing. It is a winner. i.. The revolt against the Lodge bill was largely among western Repub-licans,-and there is a dissatisfaction scarcely less serious in same quarter with many of the provisions j of the McKinley bill. It should not take many months of such experience to teach the people of the east that they are entitled to their due influence in affairs of state and , tojiot an iota more. The House of Representatives will attempt to pass a resolution , next'Monday for the removal of General Grant’s remains from New York to Arlington cemetery, Washington. There has always been a popular feeling that Gen. Grant’s remains should have been taken to the latter place at the onset'. The report is current that representatives of the Louisiana lottery have been in Indianapolis of late trying to obtain a franchise for the lottery company in Indiana. The thieving concern must be crushed .out and we are inclined to believe, it will get no encouragement from the people in this state. Geokg k W. Peck, mayor of Milwaukee and author of “Peck’s Bad Boy” has been nominated for Governor of Wisconsin by the democrau.

In speaking of Senator Quay, the chairman of the Republican Na- 1 tioital Committee, Representative ■ Kennedy, of Ohio, who is an. ultra repid ’u* l3 * made the following re 1 hit. ks u the floor of the House a few do;. ■* ago: . - ■ ? I Jo iot know whether the charges mt de hg;> hst the chairman of the Repub lican par’y are true or false, but I do know that they have been made by journals ot vl aracterand standing and that in the fa.e >f charges Matt Quay has remniued and h& neither sought nor Attempted io"seek opportunity to vindi< cat? hi it. -eh against -them. As a repub-1 lit ah he . A-al it to the -party whose head i he wa». either to brand these as false or to stand qide from its leadership, lie has not dene either and tor this I denounee bin ■ The republican party cannot afford to ioilow the leadership of a branded criminal. He has failed to justify himself, and though opportunity, ample and time has been given him, he remains siient. His silence under such circumstances is simply a confession of guilt—an honorable man does not long delay when his honor is assailed. He has delayed too long to justify the belief in bis innocence and he stands a convicted criminal before t'ne bar ot public opinion. Under such circumstances he should be driven from the lead of a party whose very life his presence imperils. Here is«a picture, presented by the Omaha World, which complaining farmers will to studv; ‘•ln Sangamon county, IU, the home of Lincoln, one-half of the farmers are now renters. Did Mr. Lincoln imagine that such a state of things would ever exist at bis home whiTft he spoke of ‘a Government of the people, by the people, for the people?’ The forces which have worked this result at the home of Lincoln are felt over the whole land. , The mortgages are being gradually ■ foreclosed. The land-owning farmer is passing into the conditions of the peasant of Europe, and the process will go on as long as the •<r.me system .'f tariff robbery and ' railroad ex’vrtiop. is in existence.” There is a popular feeling among ( he better element in both political i parties in thi* state that the salary ! of the tlistrivt prosecuting attorney I d’.ould be raised to such a figure as 1 A'ould command the best legal talent I for the oflit#* m the district. At i present the compensation does not , justify a good attorney to lay claim to the office and quite frequently we are forced to admit the place is tilled by .some person who is not fitted for it. The result is that too many criminals are getting their freedom for want of proper prosecution. In 311 probability this matter will releivc the attention of the forthcoming state'legislature. All this,professed sympathy for 1 the f inner on the part of the Republican party has been punctured by the nomination of Col. Briantj a pronounced manufacturer and monopolist, for congress in this district, over the claims of George Harter, a prominent farmer ot eounty > and a man of unquestionable ability and integrity. Mr. Harter stood no show whatever for the place when monopolist Briant concluded he wanted the honors. The Republican farmers of this district will rejneiflber thg insult when they come cast their ballots at the Novemnbr election. WiLtf a pleasant happy family kind of a time the republicans are 1 having jnst now, says the Lilianapaiis, Sentinel. Blaine and Reed fighting with words in the North Anterican Iteeiev", Beckwith and Wilson lighting with Jist.s in the house', the Journal and Prosecutor Kirkpatrick denouncing Hovey; , Kennedy and half the republican press denouncing Quay; Sherman ridiculing Hale, and the whole party damning Harrison. Such bar-’ meny hasn’t been witnessed since the memorable occas/on when the. Kilkenny cats met. Col. Briant stands for high tariff Martin for low tariff. Briant stands' for protecting the rich, Martin for protecting the poor. B riant stands for the party of monopoly, Martin stands lor the people. Briant beat the farmer in " the convention because the farmer might not be all sound for high tariff, if elected. Briant is of the party which is now trying to “fry__out the fat” of the people to repay monopoly for the money “iurnished” to carry the election for Hirrison,— l)einocrat. » The statement that ‘.‘Senator Quay i has not yet decided what course to pursue” with reference to his arraignment before the House as a felon by a Republican Congressman will surprise no one. The Senator has been for months undecided “what course to pursue” in respect to this very grave charge and in consequence has pursued no course at all. It is highly "probable that when he does decide what course to pursue the course will be the same already pursued. The Geneva Herald has been very attentive tb the interests of the Republican candidates and their party friends in this section of late, while the Democrat candidates have received only a passing notice in that paper. We always thought the Herald was a strictly neutral publication. It so, it should be careful not to get too heavy on one side or the other. " . . d ’ ■ -—“ .•. Tee chairmen of the Democratic committees representing the 11th, congressional district held a special meeting at Marion, Ihd., on Monday of this week; Editor Blackburn of the Democrat was in attendance from this city.
