Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street-ground tioor. No one more thoroughly enjoys the present predicament of the Republican machine than a certain distingmsed son-of Maine. Democrats of Adams County let it be so recorded after the Bth of November, next, that Adams will have her majority increased to not less than 2,000. As protection is such a,” excellent. thing, we propose that our legislature levy a tax on all goods brought into the State, to protect Indiana industries. The falacy can be plainly seen. The Republican managers of this campaign are attempting to win the day by appealing to the prejudices of the voters. They dare not appeal to reason. Such a course would be fatal to their cause. 1 = ———-t j The Republican-papers, we sup- , „ pose, are still as fend of Gen. Dan. v. Sickles as they claimed to be a 1 few days ago.’ But somehow they ; are JW saying so many kind words ' of “ti.e old hero” as they were 1 then. Judge Gresham's accession to < the Democratic ranks and the indif cation that the Republican Supreme Court of Indiana is disposed to be * decent are not calculated to boom f Harrison and Reed stock in Hoos ierdora. J “Ie you love your homes and 1 your families.” says Tom Reed, | “you will support the Republican i pa-ty in its great work”-—of plund- t ering these homes and these fam- f ilies for the benefit of Carnegie and 1 others. 1 e — 1 Have you noticed the midgets 6 wHb are running Harrison’s cam- < paign in Indiana profess to see < nothing alarming in Judge Gresh- ( atn’s defection? The truth is the | Judge seems to them as big as a < mountain and as terrible as an army i with banners. i Why not pay the farmer a roy , alty on each bushel of wheat he , raises? Congress would be as jus- . Xifiable in giving the farmer a chance as it is in treating the sugar manu- , . facturer as it does. But the farmer never was a favorite with the Republican party except in election times. Two weeks more and voting day will be at hand. The campaign has been one of the most remarkable on record because of the lack of torchlight processions, and the other accessories of a presidential election. It has largely been a time of serious reflection on the part of the people since the conventions made their selection. The Democratic party has nothing to fear from the most careful consideration of its principles—in fact, such is desired. When compared with those of the Republican party the difference is at once apparent. With such a candidate as Mr. Cleveland, and a platform entirely in the interest of the people,-success must come to /) the Democratic hosts in this year /if our Lord. s Brother Ashcraft of the Religious Weekly, is not slow in laying claim to the Decatur Post-office, in the ev/nt of Harrison’s election.

JUDGE JOHN P. REA. 77(71 E.V-GA , ../.V7> ARMY COMMAAPEII Gomes Out For Grover Cleveland and Honest Pensions. St. Paul. Minn., Oct. 25. —The great sensation in political circles to-day tes the announcement that Judge John P. Rea, ex Commander in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and a life-long Republican, has come out for Cleveland aud Lawler. The Republicans are astounded and refuse to believe the story, but Judge Rea confirms the story with his own lips. Judge Rea’s conversion was primarily brought about by Mr. Cleveland’s Pension vetoes. To a United Press reporter he said: “There was so much talk in Grand Army circles on the subject of these pension vetoes that 1 determined to look them up for myself. I did so thoroughly, and the result is that I will show what I think of them by voting for Mr. Cleveland. I failed to find a single veto tbit was not based upon principles of right, and justice, aud honor, and 1 commend Mr. Cleveland for his upright aud mauly course. I believe his sympathies are and always have been with the old soldier, and I can prove my belief in no more convincing way than by giving to him the first vote that 1 have ever cast for a Democrat. It is claimed by republicans that Gen. Sickles, of New York will not support Cleveland because of Cleveland’s pension record. The absurdity of this is shown by the fact that Gen. Sickles supported Cleveland in 1888 and Cleveland has made no pension record since that time. It is well known, however, that Gen. Sickles took an active part in the factional fight in New York against Mr. Cleveland’s renomination, and that fight was not a soldiers’ movement. Mr. Hill’s friends used the soldier argument, of course, as they did everything else that they hoped could have any effect, but no intelligent person will be apt to confuse the Hill organization with the veterans of the war. Mr. Harrison Clark, who wse Pepartment Commander of the Grand Army of New York for the year 1889-90, a Union soldier who lost a limb at the battle of the Wilderness, says; I find myself one ft the large, and, I believe, constantly increasing number of the soldieis of the late war who have down to the present time always voted for the candidates of the republican party, but can no longer support iU nominees. In the present campaign 1 see those in control of our grand old party for whose principles we have fought and to maintain which we shed our blood on many a field, making their appeal to the people of this country to continue them in office as a matter of individual interest to each one because, as they falsely claim, it will put money in the pockets of-the people.. Throughout the years since the war closed the republican party has posed as the only friend of the soldiers, and during the years just succeeding the war it was natural that the veteran wfio rpade his campaigns while that party was In con, trol should take the same view and cast his vote to keep it in power. The result of this belief in the minds of the present leaders of the party that the republican party has a mortgage on the old soldier vote. Believing that the time has come when we old" soldiers can safely take sides in the present campaign, on the 'issues of the day, 1 shall therefore, like many hundreds of the old veterans, cast my vote for Ulpyeland and Stevenson. Let Every' Democrat in Adams County acquaint himself with the style of folding hisballots. Jfold them separately, so that the face of them cannot be seen, and so that the initial letters of the Polling Clerks on the back? thereof can be seen. T. V. Powderly, in Knights of Labor Journal, says: “We are told that wages,have advanced, but for the life of me I cannot find a man whose wages' have been increased by the tariff.” — The workings of the tariff are very peculiar. It cheapens the price lof manufactured goods (so say the Republicans), \Vhile it compels him to sell at reduced prices it enables him to contribute extensively to the campaign fund. Ro doubt but the manufacturer will accept atab.rred.ouoaofhu.tad-

lUSIATII OF MRS. HARRISON.

The death of Mrs. Harrison, < omiug after a lingering aud hopeless >triod of disease, was not uu-ixp,-cted. We may be disposed to be grateful that her sufferings are over, but the news of her death entries to the heat of every true American a feeling of sadnes that death alone can bring. While not essentially remarkable in her personality, Mrs. Harrison has been an excellent example of the typical woman of America. A strong, steadfast and helpful wife, a tender and devoted mother, she was during the greater part of her years, what most American women find happiness and glory in being—the guardian and ministrant of a quiet home. Called io follow her husband when he assumed the presidency, she brought to the social position to which she succeeded the simple, natural graces to which she had become habituated in her early life. Difficult as the latter task has been at times she has always performed it adequately, with a fine and undeviating sense A Democrats throughout Indiana should beware of overconfidence. As matters stand the State is safely theirs. If the election were to be held to-day, Mr. Cleveland would receive not less than ten thousand plurality. But the election is two weeks distant. Democrats cannot afford to rest on their oars. They must work night and day to hold the State where it is. The republi can politician will be liberally supplied with boodle, —supplied by the tariff rings and by the Jay Goulds and others who make money out of republican administrations. The enemy will resort to any means, however disreputable, to capture the State- The office-holding brigade will be especially busy. All sorts of tricks will be employed to affect the result in Harrison’s favor. Democrats everywhere must be on their guard against silly canards, against every species of bribery, against attempts to reduce the democratic vote by various expedients. More than once Indiana has been lost by the Democrats in the last ten days of the campaign. This must not happen this year. The chief danger is from democratic overconfidence. There must be no relaxation of effort until the polls close on November 8. If every Democrat is on the alert until that time Indiana will give Cleveland a rousing plurality. Let vigilance prevail in ev“ry quarter during the few remaining days of the cam Indianapolis Sentinel, Oct. 19-

As we have been contending all along the Republicans this year, as well as previous years, are appealing to every faculty of the mind except reason. Spurious paper money representing “wild- cat” currency has been received at several Republican state headquarters. It is proposed to spring the sluff on an unsuspecting public the three last days of the campaign as a sample of the money that will be in circulation should Grover Cleveland be elected. The object, of course is obvious. It is expected to create a panic, and in the general stampede it is hoped that the voters will lose their heads and vote for the party in power. It is a desperate and despicable dodge but it will not work, Democrats should be on their gaurd. There will be a number of roorbacks sprung, and the object of all will be the same—to stampede the voters and by hook or crook elect Harrison. Wim, the Religious Weeky please tell its readers once more how Gen. Dan. E. Sickles stands. The Journal man is always correct in everything for a minute, but when washing time comet-, Udes. Rut then, the Journal, like all Republican papers, are so accustomed to lying that the truth is never resorted to. Gen. Dan. E. Sickles is, and always was, a Democrat, the Journal’s contradiction notwithstanding. General Sickles may have bad a favorite that be would liked to have seen nominated at the Chicago convention but principle to him is nearer and dearpr than candidates, and therefore he will support Grover Cleveland and tariff reform. Will the religious weekly please act on the theory that “an open confession is good to the soul” and retract what has been said and inform his readers as to the truth of the matter. WJ. >1 1! J...J General Sickler, in a very sensible speech made before the ratification meeting of the Harlem Democratic club, settled all doubts as to how he will vote next month. He referred to his support of another than Mr- Cleveland at the Chicago convention and to his temporary disappointment over the result. ‘-But that,” said the General, “is all ancient history now.” Tnese are manly words, and their import is exactly what all good Democrats expected from General Sickles. They will effectually remove from the Republican minds all lingering and desperate hopes 01 seeing a distinguished Democrat change his politics. All the “flopping” this year is in the opposite direction. Cash wheat spld jn the Chicago market Saturday at7lj cents. Four years ago Saturday cash wheat sold in the Chicago market at 11.14. This is bow the Uw protect* the Indiana farmer,
