We denounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act 1800 us a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all of its supporters, as well as- its author, anxious for its speedy re* ; peal. We hold to the use of both gold find silver as the standard , money of the country, and to the ; coinage of both gold and silver j without discriminating . against ; cither metal or charge for. mintage but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must, be of equal in- . tnnsic and 'exchangeable, value, or be adjusted tlirongh- international, ■agreement, or by such safeguards of l egislation as shall Insure the maintenance pf the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets, and in payment of debt: and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist; upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection' of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless Victims ‘ of unstable money and a fluctating currency.

The Kokomo Dispatch of April sth, in speaking of the republican primary election .held in that city April sth, says: “At no place was the contest so bitter and vet so onesided as in the Fifth ward, where, j _ r u — — . -— —— as it was stated yesterday, the issues were square!v joined between the Nieholsonites the church elffi : ment on one hand .and the so-called I liberal element oil tne other. S. ■ I Edgar NicTioTson was at the polls I throughout the afternoon and evenI ing, as was Pastor Guild of the i I Markland avenue M. E. church, urging the selection of P. L. Thomas, who wa« beaten nearly three to one by L. B. Hodgin. The Fifth is Nicholson's home ward, and the only one in the citv in which he has organized a Good Citizen’s league. Hodgin had been fought openly and vigorously by the league under the leadership of Nicholson and Rev. Guild. During the evening Nieholsoii was subjected to many indignities at the bands of ' some ot the me.n about the polls j I’he result of the balloting was as follow*: | I. B. H >hrin ...32* !

This county seems to have refused to submit to the dictates of the would be bosses in the republican.city of Kokfiiao. • - ■' By liw the .card table lias been banished from the saloon, but whether the changing of the same from the saloon to the sitting room, pallor, office or some dark secluded room where but few people and them ■ only the plat.tr* can find their way to . is a question for the future to.solve. At' the card table there is more money lost and won than at any ; other gambling, except buying and I selling options on change. More I lives have been blasted, more homes wrecked by the innocent, yet fascinating games played by cards than by the intemperate lis.e of alcoholic drinks. We have members of church wh’o fill official positions in the church, some who would not go into a saloon, while others go in and indulge their appetites. ’We see them at their fireside or at some office indulging in a game, learning the young to play, placing them in 1 . 0 ** the line to become gamblers. Yet you will hear these same people telling what a great work has been ' done by removing the card table . from the saloon. 1 ». _ y J Page Blackburn has the newsstand most artistic stock of wall paper in I)e5 catui.
