Decatur Democrat, Volume 34, Number 36, Decatur, Adams County, 28 November 1890 — Page 4

©he JJjenuHxat X. BLJ.CKB URN,Prupriftor. FRIDAY, XOK 28, LBM. Cleveland io Benny: Please make \ our arrangements to vacate on March 4 th, 1893. Governor Gray will be the choice of the Indiana Democracy for Vice-president in 1892. The Indian scare in the northwest appears to have scared everybody but the Indians. They appear to know very little about it. President Harrison, has not, as yet, made an appointment to the vacancy on Supreme Bench, caused by the death of Justice Miller. August Belmont, the New \ork banker, whose influence on the monetary interests of the country is well-known, died a few days ago at the age of seventy-four years. The Republicans are so badly demoralized since the late election that they hardly know whom to bring forward for the presidency, k especially when defeat stares them I in the face. Harrison is at work on his annual message to congress. Just what that document will contain, in view of the recent Republican disaster, is a very difficult matter to imagine under the circumstances. And now some person is wicked enough to assert that the uprising among the Indians in the west is due to the enactment of the McKinley bill that increases the price of scalping knives and other implements of warfare. r The new election law in Indiana gives the ardent Republican editor the razzle-dazzle. He knows not where to look for comfort in political defeat since ’twas done as - an individual once expressed it, “fair and square.” The McKinley bill is the law of the land and has come to stay.—Winchester Journal. It will possibly stay until the congress is Democratic in both branches when it will have to go qte, and.with it the last remains of the g- o. p. In the Fifty-first Congress three votes were cast by Indiana Repre’ sentatives in favor of the McKinley bill and the Force bill. These votes weres given by Messrs. Cheadle, Browne and Owen. Not one of these gentlemen will have a seat in the Fifty-second Congress. The Republicans will probably not have Speaker Reed make any _ speeches in Illinois during the next campaign. Every congressional district in which he made speeches went Democratic and it is likely Mr. Reed will not be called upon next time to spread himself. Captain Hillegas, of the Muncie Herald, is advocating the nomination of David B. Hill for the presidency. If the Captain could -realize how isolated he is in the support of Hill he would let go at once. The people of Indiana want the man of destiny, Grover Cleveland, for the next president. The express companies now refuse to take matter for the Louisiana .Lottery Company. As Uncle Sam has also sat down upon the thieving octopus pretty hard it is thought this latter , decision will effectually squelch the life out’ of the concern. The people will be better off, financially, when the lottery is buried out of sight. — J Senator Sherman is the authority for the statement that the ladies are chiefly responsible * for the recent Republican defeat, and states as his reason for his belief, that “they found the prices higher when they went shopping and the men had to vote against the tariff bill.” The power of the feminine gender as a factor in the political world is forcing its way to recognition. esi . 1 ,w The Republican press of N orthern Indiana are complaining that their party did not turn out and vote. It may be that the stay-at-homes would have voted with the democrats. The stay-at-home vote in Indiana, though m excess of 50,000, is proportionately smaller than that of any other state in the Union. And it is probable about as many ; them belonged to the Democratic party as to the Republican.

At the recent election J. W. English, Democratic candidate for sheriff of Decatur county, Indiana, was counted out by just three votes. He will contest. Defeat two years hence will virtually suspend the Republican party. That is why they are already marshaling their forces for an aggressive fight. Tom Reed, of Maine, will be a lonesome figure in the next House of Representatives. Even McKinley will not be there to console him in his moody moments. Tlie farmers of Henry county, this state, are considering the advisability of starting an Alliance newspaper at Newcastle to be devoted exclusively to their interests. It is evident since the election that James G. Blaine is the Moses of the Republican party. They are trusting him in hope that he may be able to lead them out of the woods. Tee candidates for positions in the coming legislature are hustling for the places at a lively rate. Adams county will probably have two or three applicants for clerkships in that body. The outlook for a great Democratic victory two years hence could not be more encouraging. It is coming and there isn’t a Republican in the country who is a casual observer of political affairs but what can “see it afar off.” The last session of the Fifty-first Congress begins on Tuesday ot next week. At its close many Republicans who supported the McKinley bill will have an opportunity of stepping down and out to make room for Democratic members. The Journal doesn’t want the court house records examined. It is simply playing a game of bluff and the people so understand it. The Journal knows that an investigation would show the fallacy of its declarations with reference to official crookedness. The Democratic party is the party of the people and in its struggle against banded wealth and corporate power, it was sustained by the votes of the peoide in the late contest. upholding the right, is because it deserves to be. Indiana’s provoke law is provoking some very unfavorable comments from the press. One of our exchanges terms it a “relic of barbarism and the foot-ball of revenge.” Doubtless the coming legislature will consider the advisability ot repealing the obnoxious measure. The Republicans are exceedingly anxious about the return of Ingalls, ot Kansas, to the Senate of the United States. Without Ingalls in congress they imagine the political war that has been waged against the South for many years will come to an abrupt close and with it goes the old campaign hobby. It is probable that one of the first measures that will receive the attention of the legislature when it assembles in January next will be the constitutional amendment now pending before that body. These amendments provide for the election of °all state and county officers for a term ot four years, or one term and no more. There appears to be no doubt now that Cleveland is the choice of nearly every state for President in 1892, except possibly New York. On this matter Mr. Springer, of Illinois, calls attention to an important feature. The New York Democratic state convention is the very last to be held and before it has met about thirty-four states, will have declared for Cleveland at .their convention and nothing will be left but for New York to fall into line. The Democracy must remember that newspapers will be the controling force in politics in the future. People are reading now. In Indiana the vote is changed, and with the proper kind of literature in the homes of the people the State can be made reliably Demo* cratic before even the committees are appointed for carrying on the campaign. The county officers elect and those who have bees humming in their bonnets can do nothing wiser than organize a fund for supporting the right kind of pub. lications, and see that they go to the homes of the votem for the next two years at least.

The time will soon be here when the country press will drop political gossip and turn its attention to the impassable thoroughfares that reach in every direction. The Indiana Legislature stands as follows: Senate—34 Democrats, 16 Republicans; House—74 Democrats, 26 Republicans. Total —108 Democrats, 42 Republicans. It is really amusing to notice the Republican papers trying to explain the cause of their defeat this fail. Os course they all attempt to let themselves down as easily as i > 4 possible. The will hold the Republicans to the wall and keep them there. As a “tie up”'’for the party there is nothing on earth that could have accomplished better results for the Democracy. . The election is over but the McKinley tariff goes on just the sameIt will continue to oppress the people until a Democratic congress can repeal the obnoxious measure that was passed solely in the interest of monopoly and greed. Let us see: Harrison will not have the honor of formally opening the World’s Fair at Chicago in 1893. He will be retired to private life just a few days prior to the opening ot the greatest exposition the world has ever seen. , It is safe to presume that a great many states that havn’t a ballot reform law will pass such a measure at the first opportunity, seeing that it gave such eininent satisfaction in this state. They may all be ex<pected to join our procession iyIf the Journal cared to profit by past experience it would forego its allusion to our county officials since the' s people have spoken "very forcibly upon that point. The Journal apparently never knows when to quit chopping itself, in the estimation of its own party leaders. The Democratic! party of Adams county is in splendid trim for the campaign of 1892. If our neigh-' bor down street can be secured to marshal the Republican forces, as this year, it will certainly be a picnic for the Democrats in this section. Thb past campaign is evidence of this fact. The Marion header is correct when it says: Never sign a paper for a stranger; never buy a tree except from a reputable nursery or from its fully accredited agent; never let a lightning rod man get within a stone’s throw of your barn or house; beware of a firm who offers to sell you goods without a cent of profit, and make every man prove it that tells you the tariff isn’t a tax. , The Jay county Republican takes occasion to call the Republican editors who are lamenting their defeat and who want the McKinley bill modified at the coming session, such bad names as “soft-heads,” “baby actors” and the like. It says McKinley bill is one of the grandest measures that ever passed congress. The Republican editor, since the recent landslide, doesn’t appear to understand what hit him. His epithets are entirely out of place. The New York World offers a Cbristmas prize of SIOO to the wife who will write the the most graphic and picturesque description of her husbands devotion to her. The judges in the awarding of the prize, says the Fort Wayne Sentinel, ought to take into consideration the length of time that the contestants have been married. The husband may be all devotion—sugar and molasses—during the first few months and after that he may be as cross and cruel as a bear. The World ought not to allow young brides to compete for the prize. When asked if he believed the charges made against Senator Quay to be true, Postmaster General Wanamaker answered evasively: “If Senator Quay had not been chairman of the national committee the charges made against him would not have been heard of. I know and other people know the truth about his every official action.” But the truth is, that five years ago, when Quay was m private life, the greatest Republican paper in Pennsylvania said that his nomination to be State treasurer “would take the lid off the State treasury, and uncover secrets before which Republicans would stand dumb.”

The spectacle of Old Santa Claus studying the McKinley bill is one of the most painful in history. It makes him about as sickly-lopkmg as* the average Republican appeared in the hour of his defeat.

The Republican party will cast Han ison overboard in the convention of 1892. It has no particular use for a man who is so unpopular in his own state as to permit it to go Democratic by nearly twenty thousand. The- legislature of Indiana will enact some very important measures the coming winter among which will be a law touching the emoluments of county officers, in accordance with the pledge of the Democratic platform. The Journal s reference to “opening the books” is becoming a stale chestnut. Now that the election is over it becomes more apparent every day that the Republican partywill necessarily have to call our neighbor down before he entirely loses his grip. Postmaster Quinn cannot actively. engage in the work of next campaign unless he lets go his hold on the postoffice and that he will not do. Bart knows a good thing only presents itself once in a great while and cannot be induced to give it up tor any imaginary recompense. This suggestion is made to those who are looking about for a new chairman for the Republican central committee of Adams county. There will be fewer Republicans in the next house ot representatives than have sat in any house since the g. o. p. was organized. The following shows the number of re.publicans elected to each congress since the birth of the party: Thirty-fourth 108 Thirty-filth 92 Thirty-sixth 114 Thirty-seventh .. loti Thirty-eighth.... 102 Thirty-ninth 145 Fortieth 143 Forty-first 159 Forty-second 131 Forty-third 195 Forty-fourth 108 Forty-fifth.... 140 Forty-sixth 130 Forty-seventh ............... 152 Forty-eighth 119 Forty-ninth . 138 Fiftieth 152 Fifty-first 170 Fifty-second 87 It look as if the g. o. p. were pretty well done for. The supreme court of Indiana has held what is known as the “Dressed Beef Apt” to be unconstitutional. The last legislature enacted that beef cattle offered for sale in the state should be inspected before slaughter. The law was passed at the dictation of farmers and local butchers to head off the shipment of dressed beef by the outside packers, and the appeal was carried up from Marion county. The chief justice holds that the Federal supreme court, having recently decided that a Minnesota law nearly the same was unconstitutional, it followed that a similar disposition must be made of the Indiana enactment. a The Democrats will not have io count any Republicans in the next house for the purpose of securing a quorum.— Journl. True, very true, brother Ashcraft. Neither will they have to count out any Republican members who were elected and replace them with Democrats who were not elected to secure that quorum. The Republicans of the last congress bound Democrats with arbitrary rules and Speaker Reed gagged them by enforcing those rules. They then turned out of congress a sufficient number of Democrats who were elected and put enough Republicans in their place to have a working majority, then passed the McKinley bill. Their reward came sooner than expected.

K£A» THIS TWICE! The only Protection that will effect* Rally' protect all people, all classes, all labor and all interests is that styled Self Protection ! acquired only from a truthful knowledge of ways and means, legal and illegal, just and unjust, by which the burdens of government, profits of labor and industry, are go unequally divided. That knowledge is power, and ignorance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of life, among all people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such methods those from whom the wealth is taken; hence it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the United States, less than ten are absolutely free and independent of the power or control of some class, party or monopoly whose interest it is to keep the great mass of people in ignorance of their methods. The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is one of the few, if not the only one, absolutely free from such influences. It is the most honest, thorough, able teacher and exponent of truthful knowledge, of reliable data, free from partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit to such degree that one cannot but feel edified and capable of forming correct conclusions therefrom. Such a paper should be in every household. Sample copies can be obtained by addressing the publishers, at Cincinnati, O.
