How to Vote.— The voter who votes a straight ticket has but to slump the square at the head of the ticket. 11 it is intended to vote a mixed ticket, the voter will then stamp the square opposite the name of each candidate for whom he votes. Ashcraft has been convinced that he said it. x e Harrison still keeps his eye on Reed. The latter has the pretlibee in his bonnet. The Republicans declared in favor of local option. In fact they are in favor of anything that will bring them victory in this state. Benjamin came to his own and his own received him not. This has reference to the snub which the Republican state convention extended to Harrison a few days ago. . - -• Democratic workingmen should not be deceived into casting their lot with any Ahird party. The democratic party is the party of the people and will give them legislation that is to their benefit. And now it' has come to light that Jabber Jobber Ingalls, Senator from Kansas, has been charging the farmers at the rate of eighteen per cent per annum, interest on loans. No wonder the sheriffs are doing a land-office business in that rockribbed Republican stalo. Matt Quay, the big mogul of the Republican National Committee stands branded as a criminal and thief by a member of his own party in the House of Representatives, Congressman Kennedy, of Ohio. Quay is keeping qniet and on that i account the whole country is sus- | picioiis of his guilt. • □'he Winchester Journal remark M ed last week that the Republican r state convention “endorsed” President Harrison’s administration. A And what an endorsement it was, too—the same kind that an individual receives when another knocks him down. Harrison will feel the effects of this “endorsement” so long as he remains in the White • House. All the Republican papers in the Eleventh congressional district last week contained a picture and also a short biographical notice of Col. Briant, of Huntington, the monopoly candidate for congress. The old gentleman who is past sixty-one looks well on paper, but he’ll never look natural occupying a seat in the National House of Representatives. In fact he’s not at all likely to get there. Private Gus Martin is doing first rate and the people of the district will retain him.

STATE CANDIDATES. Frof.n all over the state come expressiJo is of satisfaction over the result'of the Democratic State Con yenticVi. There seems to be but one sentiment,. and that is, it is a strong and unassailable ticket in every ye-pect. Below we give a brief personal Sketch of the candidates.: « ' CLAUDE MATHEWS, The nominee for Secretary of State, is forty-five years old. A Kentuckian by birth, he came to Indiana after his education was completed, and began farming. He has ever since followed, that occupation in Vermillion county. He is largely I interested in farming; a thorough Democrat and an active member of the F. M. B. ! A., and very earnest in promoting the farmers’ interests. In 1876 the Democrats of his county elected him to the legislature, overcoming a Republican majority of about 500 to do so. lln 1880, he was before the State Convention as a prominent candidate for Lieutenant Governor. In 1886 he was nominated by the Democrats for Joint Senator from Parke and Vermillion counties, and succeeded in cutting down thp Republican majority from 900 to 300. He was nominated a few weeks ago by ' the Democrats ot Parke and VerI million for the same position. J. O. HENDERSON, Os Kokomo, Howard county, for Auditor of State, is one of the publishers of the Kokomo despatch, with which he has done good to his party. He has been chairman of the county committee and has filled an,appointment as revenue collector under Cleveland until the district was abolished after he had served two years. He is about forty years old, was educated at DePauw, and -by bis bright work attained such prominence in journalist circles that he was chosen president of the State Democratic Editorial Association, which position like, all others with which he has “been honored, he filled to the satisfaction of all interested. ALBERT GALL, Os Indianapolis, Marion county, the ' candidate for Treasurer, was born in Watertown, Wis., fifty-two' 5 years ( ago, where his father was a Democratic politician, and was consul to Antwerp, bj Wdjident Buohapan. He removed I apolis many years ago and engaged t in the wholesale and retail carpet i business. His career has been an honorable and successful one. He has been an efficient worker in the I party, but never a candidate. Two i years ago he was appointed a memi ber of the Board ot Control under • a law passed by the last legislature, which was afterwards declared unconstitutional. He is prominent in German circles and deservedly pop- ' ular. ! ai.onzo «. SMITH, ’ Os North Vernon Jennings county, for Attorney General, was born in Meigs county, Ohio, in 1848; came t to Indiana in 1856; studied law, ' and was admitted to* the bar in j 1870, beginning practice before he ' was twenty-one, and by his energy has risen to prominence in his chosen profession. He was elected to the State Senate in 1884 from Jennings and Jackson counties and was soon recognized as a leader. i Jlc was appointed on the Judiciary Committee, and filled the position with smiih marked ability that he became distinguished, and at the close of the special seabion £»f 1886 he was honored by his colleagues with the presidency of the Senate. In 1887, Lieut. Goy. Manson having resigned, “GVeen Smith” succeeded to the chair by virtue of his former ejection as president of the Senate, and it was in this position that he distinguished himself as a parliamentarian an/] Democrat of un- , flinching courage. ANDREW M. SWEENEY, Os Jasper, Dubois county, for Clerk of the Supreme Court, is a native of Cincinnati, and is thirty-six years old. He came to Indiana in 1865, .8/;d began life by driving a cart for a rnJIF/iy construction company, learned hu « J; c’s when he was sixteen,Acquired a /prknowlvhfth he worked to and saaeeeiW fU) well that he soon became a teacher, tfce.u W** elected superintendent, which poMto# he filled acceptably for eight yearfl. i during which time he elevated the school work in his county in & marked degree. In 1586 he was nominated for State Superintendent of Public Instruction but was xlefeated with the rest of the ticket. j He is another self-nude man.

i HENRY D. VORIES, Os Franklin, Johnson county, for Superintendent of Public Instruction, aiiottier native, began tojearn a name for himself at the age of thirteen years. He farmed and worked on a railroad and gathered his education between times, graduating in both scientific arfd classical courses. He has been County Superintendent of his county for the last six years, and previously filled the office of city superintendent of the Franklin schools for three years. He has filled every position in school work. He is of good old peruocratic stock. W\ A. PEELE, For Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, and S. S. Gorby. for Director of the Bureau of Geology—two officers made elective # by the decision of the supreme courts—are selections that command the approval of the party without dissent. It is characteristic of the Republican parti, which the American youth maynow read with wonder, that it has not made a single mistake in all its Journal. If it hasn’t made any mistakes it has made a great many sensations that have placed the party in a very embarrassing position and provoked the censure of the entire civilized world. For instanc there are the whiskey ring frauds of Grant’s administration, the steal of the presidency in 1876, the assassination of Garfield brought about by hostility in the Republican party, the blocks-of-five methods of Dudley that elected Harrison president, and numerous other escapades we we might name that have, characterized the party as one of many failures. Well may the American'youth read about it with wonder. No laboring man should be deceived into voting with a third party in hopes of bettering his condition through that channel. At present there is not the least prospect that a single candidate on any i third party ticket in the state, or in any county, will be elected, so that • the laboring man’s vote would be thrown away if he cast it in that direction. He should remember, ■ too, that the laborer’s fiend is the i Democratic party to which he j should cling if he is devoutly in . favor of reform and desires to see > the burden of taxation that is now t weighing him down . his shoulders. * Republicans begin to howl about i the gerrymander of the state by which the Democrats are enabled ' to elect a majority of the Congressmen from Indiana. The Republicans appear to be unmindful of r the fact that for many years they succeeded in so arranging the gerry- ’ mander that scarcely more than ! three or four democrats were elected to Congress in this state. They are, only getting paid back in their own coin. They should decide to take their medicine without mur- ’ muring. It’s the same as they fori , merly gave us. 5 ■■ ■ - - ~ A ■ , The Republicans ot Indiana are 1 after the state legislature, as that ‘ body will be called upon the comr ing winter to select a United States • Senator. To this end they are pre- > pared to trade off anything in sight. It matters not, the state and county tickets will have to suffer as they have no hopes of electing the forr mer, especially. Keep in mind the i fact that their whole fight will be conceptrated toward the election ! of a Republican general assembly. The Republican candidate for Superintendent of public instruction , W. T. Noble, of Wayne county, is on record as being to the , new school book law, a Democratic measure calculated to save the peo- ’ pie of the state thousands of dollars, and as county superintendent tried to thwart the operations of the law in his own county. The voters of the state will remember him when I they come to cast their ballots. Free Blaine seems to hold the winning owd, and free trade, (Reciprocity) seeips to Jiaye an overwhelming majority of the house in favor of it. The amendment already passed by the Senate will be passed by the House, with little or no opposition.

LL."^ i ■ Lew Mi ler\ ordering the editor of the Journal out of the people’s office which » tilled by Mr. Miller.as their iu.ent, indi ales that Iraudu’ent allowances were made by the era at their last term and the cififiais purpose to muffle the truth— Journal. It does’nt indicate that there have been official frauds or anything of the kind, but it does show that forbearance ceases to be a virtue sometimes and that the JournaTs dishonorable upon the character and official conduct of Mr. -Miller from time to time have feo incensed him that he proposed to resent it at the first opportunity When Ashcraft with that spirit of buncombe that is characteristic of him stepped behind the desk at the Auditor's office arid began to make himself familiar with books and papers that were private property. Miller embraced the opportunity of inviting him out from behind the counter and had he not gotten a “move on him” in all probability he would have been helped out. Had he treated Miller with tha courtesy due a public official h> could have been ivelcome to see any public property in the office. No body blames the Auditor for his spunk. They all admit he did per fectly right. The hue and cry about the state debt that goes up just now from almost every republican throat is made to divert public attention fro a the absurdities of the present Republican tariff that is doing more o 1 keep our farming population in serfdom than any other agency in 1 existence. They want to hide tlie fact that mofte money is paid by the.farmers of Indiana in interest every year to eastern capitalists who 1 have been made immensely rich through the operations of the robber tariff than would pay the entire state debt. And who is responsible for it? The Republican party. L The Chicago?- Herald says that while Speaker Reed was telling the ! people of Boston all about the gl >r1 ious record of the grand old party, 1 another republican Kennedy by - name, a member of Congress from 1 Ohio, was telling his in > the House of Representatives v fiat 2 a glorious leader this same gr md 3 old party now has. “Mathev S, 1 Quay,” said Mr. Kennedy, “has not e vindicated himself from the cha ges l ’ that have been made against’ him. this reason J denoujLge' tm. The republican party cannot a rra to follow the lead of a In-anded c. oni Go it, husband; go it, Lear. I IF the Republicans, manage, by hy hook or crook, to secure the next '' legislature of Indiana, the people r may expect the most rascally gc-rry-i mander on record. The Republican never hesitated, when it II had the power, to resort to the most extreme measures to perpetuate such F power. Its last gerrymander of r Indiana was such a flagrant outrage 0 that the Republican governor, ionrad Baker, refused to approve it, ' but it was no worse than the . existing in New I ork, Connecticut, Rhode Island, lowa t and many other states. In 1881 a republican legislature s of Indiana passed a law enal ling ' aliens to hold land in this 4ate • which was afterwards yepealei by < a democratic general assembly, f Now the republicans declare in • their state platform that aliens 3 should not hold land in this tatc, - that i.t ought to be reserved foi the 1 farmers and bona-fide residents It • is evident they believe the p> ople r have short memories. The Ri pub. ( licans promise anything and e rery- . thing in their platform and the peo? ; pie as a natural consequence may expect nothing from them. In order to check tt?e sqldier ’ stampede from the Republican /anks in this state, their state conye ition placed five soldiers on the ticl et to i be slaughtered this fall. Now the question arises, “When there were good, fat offices to be distributed to > Indianians, how many Repubi cans j did Harrison select who won the ! blue?” The Decatur Journal ion’t I ’ 1 >: dare tq answer the query truth ully. » Jingle Jim Blaine has res irtjjd to his old habit ?gain—that of . writing iettiG's.

niinmi 11 ii— — The Philadelphia dfars, which says of itself “it always has been a staunch Republican newspaper, always has supported, and always I expects to support, Republican principles,” repudiates Quay in this vigorous language: “The country knows that Matthew Stanley Quay is one of the biggest rascals out of jail. It knows that he is a man whose word is worthless, whose treachery is notorious, whose dissipated habits are a national by word, and whose selfishness and cowardice are monumental. The country .knows that Quay has been charged with accepting bribes, and that he did not refute the charge. It knows that he was a venal legislator and a crooked State treasurer; and that after embezzling several hundred thousand of the State funds, he was only prevented from carrying out his threat of jumping from the third story window of a Harrisburg hotel or drowning himself in the Susquehanna by Don Cameron’s making good the stolen money. This embezzler, M. S. Quay, who now disgraces this commonwealth by appearing in Washington as one of her United States Senators, has his fingers clutched upon the throat of Republican party. He is prostituting the party to his own selfish purposes. He is making the*' name “Republicanism” synonymous with rascality, lying and stealing, and, were there a national election this year, the Republican party would be defeated because Quay controls its machinery. Unless his grip is broken the party wfll be whipped in 1892. For the sake of ( the future of the Republican party r ( Pattison should be elected and Quay’s man defeated.” r ' - ____ _ . f The Republican state platform 1 is a bundle of absurdities and it doesn’t take an expert to interpret its significance, either. For in2 stance in one paragraph it declares in favor of protection to industries, an old song; in ajj.g^h er T it condems the doctonne.-Qf f ree ! trade, which, like the declarai tions, is also 'whilei a third t paragraph knoq\ s these into smithj ereens when 4t asserts that, “We commend t|J e policy of reciprocity t proposed' m connection with pends i n g legislation, to the end that'when our markets are opened ' more freely to the products of other , countries we shodld obtain as a con- . sideration therefore more favorable trade privileges with countries so benefitted.” If this declaration isn’t y in the line of free trade then the t people fail to understand the meanB ing of plain words. The Republic . an platform was written to suit all [i factions of the party and to “catch t ’em coming as well as going.” , t Before and After Using. f At one time >had awful sores and pimB pies on my lace, and after using two bot--6 ties of S.
