PUBLISHED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS PVBLISHING OOLEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. S!.V PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1. Democrats Do Your Duty. This is the last issue of The Democratic Press before the contest for state, congressional, senatorial, judicial and county honors shall have been adjusted by the voting suffrage of this state, and we just want to add a parting caution to the voters of Adams county. The contest will be ended and the battle of the masses against the classes will then be won or lost. But four more days remain. We know that every democrat is interested in the welfare of his party, in the welfare of his democracy, in the welfare of the many against the few, and in the welfare of the fine array of our country's honor who are coming before the public asking that vour rights of suffrage be cast in favor of the principles laid down and advocated by the democratic party. let every democrat lay aside his business for the remaining few days and devote that time to the party of his faith, Roll up your sleeves Brother Democrats and show yourselves in your true light. Face the enemy with a determination that if honest work and lots of it, a fair ballot and an honest cmint, and the victory is ours. But boys you must work, work, work for the triumphant victory. Be at the polls early next Tuesday morning. Vote early, see that your neighbor votes early, and that every democrat voter in your precinct does the same thing. Also see that the opposition does not vote any person who hasn’t a legal right to do so, and to do all this you must work. If you work as your party’s interest demands, the vote in this banner democratic county of Adams will be increased, as it should be. Our county ticket too, is composed of good democratic timber from top to bottom, and deserve the full and complete vindication and recognition of their party, and to bring about this well deserved result, in the meantime covering the party workers all over with glory, you must work and work hard. Stamp the rooster. The democratic ticket in Adams county will come up smiling with their usual majority. The lying traditions of numerous republican candidates has aroused the democracy to business. The date of theii funeral is November 6. Frisinger is surely entitled a little ever-green. John M. Frisingershould make another statement. If he keeps up the present gait those manipulators of sugar figures won’t be in it with John. He’s too swift, besides he can transpose a 4 into a 9 with such easy grace. John ought to be in Chicago, this place is too small. The republican candidate for county auditor tried to figure up a settlement sheet and only made a deficiency of §20,000. His candidacy has dropped a notch since he endeavored to make them balance. Read the statement elsewhere concerning this man’s manipulation of figures. He now wears the belt. Vote the democratic ticket next Tuesday. The record of our party upon issues that concerns every voter in the state, justifies you in retaining the democracy in power. A vote against them is a vote against your own interests. Think twice and then stamp within the square that encircles the rooster.

Republicans are great tax reformers. Last spring they cried reform until they were given control of the city government, and now taxes are higher than ever before known during the history of our city. These same people are raising a herculean war cry about county matters, and if they were given control they would again demonstrate their ability to lower taxes by raising them. Most all the voters in Adams county know these “great I am, would be” reformers. and will give them a very chilly reception.

Democratic precinct commitleemen want to see to it .hat every voter of their party is at the polls on election day. This is one of the important duties of your official trust, and as you havebeen selected it lemains only for you to do your duty. See to it that no democrat is permitted to remain away from ! the polls.

Henry W. Bennett, treasurer of the republican county central committee and president of the Indianapolis stove company, employing several hundred hands, in an interview in the Indianapolis Journal says that he has within the past week advanced the wages of all his employees 5 per cent, in justice to the men. The advance has been caused by the revival of business. Republican calamity howlers are busy telling the public how prosperous the country was under Harrison and McKinley. Read our account elsewhere of the factories closed, wages reduced, strikes and the like during the month of March, 1891. By printing an equal amount every week it would take three months to complete the list. It is a fearful arraignment of republican hypocracy. We invite every laboring man to read it carefully. You all well remember the republican howl about the unconstitutionality of the new tax law, which compels the railroad corporation to pay their just and fair proportion of taxes. They fought it to the United States supreme court where it was upheld and declared to be constitutional. The republican party are pledged for the repeal of this law should they gain power and control. Do you wish it! If not vote the democratic ticket, A few candidates on the republican ticket in this county have demonstrated to the voting public what consuinate asses they can be when given a little rope. For instance their is John Frisinger their candidate for auditor, who figured Auditor France’s record to pieces and made him in the hole something over $20,000. When called on to explain his combinat ion of figures he couldn’t do it, and John is now fasting on soup, and the cause of the g. o. p.’s have received another shock. Any one who would resort to such villainous lying could not be trusted in a public office, a fact the voters of Adams county knows full well. How many voters in Adams county want the present school book law, the tax law, the fee and salary law, and the Australian election law repealed. The republican party have fought these laws to the highest court tribunal, and should they gain state and legislativecontrol, they are pledged to repeal them. Who wants that done and if not the only way to assure their enactment is to keep the democrats in power. A vote for the democratic ticket means a continuation- of good laws and their enforcement. The Australian system of voting enables you to vote your sentiments without fear or intimidation from any one. See to it that you stamp within the square that encircles the rooster.

Shaffer Peterson was giving out some “great” political taffy to a small audience on our streets the other day when he remarked that democrats wouldn’t come out and vote next Tuesday. He no doubt borrowed this expression from Geo. W. Steele, republican candidate for congress iu this district, who said the same thing of the Dutch of Adams county a few years ago, when he remarked that they (the Dutch) were too busy husking corn to go to the polls and vote. Shaffer and the republican party will form a different opinion of the democrat voters of Adams county after November 6th, next. They’il know that there has been an election, and that democrats had been to the polls and voted. When the republicans took charge of the affairs of the city of Decatur last May, they said to the people, “we will show you how to govern the city economically.” In June they received from the county §5,000, and from saloon license over §2,000, besides what was received from other sources; and they have, since receiving the above amounts, instructed the finance committee to negotiate a loan for §5,000 more. All of this money has bee n squandered by them within the last six months, as well as the §20,000 worth of bonds issued and sold last July. The same kind of republicans are asking the democrats to vote for them for county officers. Democrats, do you want to bankrupt the county? If you do, vote for a republican.

Almost everybody in Decatur and also Adams county knows Jacob S, Hart, proprietor of City Mills. To know Mr. Hart is to know a gentleman of unquestionable integrity, a good citizen and a thorough businessman. We herewith give his experience in the purchase of an article used in his mill, showing the difference in price paid therefor under the McKinley tariff law of the republican party and the Wilson law of the democrat party: “One year ago this summer I took occasion to price rubber belting, as mine was about worn out, and it was necessary to replace the same. An agent of a manufacturer of rubber belt called at my mills, measured the belt and gave me the lowest possible figures his house would furnish the same for, which was SSO. This was with the McKinley tariff on. While a few days ago I ordered the belt just the same and gut the belt and bill for it which is §30.96. This was with out the tariff—§l9.o4 in my pocket, instead of the manufactures pocket. Thus you can see without glasses who is benefited by high protection. Jacob S. Hart, Proprietor City Mill, Decatur, Ind. The republican bosses and newspaper editors have frequently carried Indiana in November on paper iu fact it is getting to be chronic and grotesque with them. They are good on that sort of figuring. They were eminently successful in the same direction as far back as 1876, and especially so in 1884 and again in 1892. The ballot boxes, however differed with their anteelection prognostications and told a strange story, the democracy was the victor ,

The Public Records. The Journal last have had its pee wee teeing- ■ siderablv crushed ou accountl ofa» article which appeared in the 11-U two weeks ago, charging hlbn ' v i n g terson with extravagance iu bujing certain furniture and for the court house.

The show that Mr. Peterson « as acting tinder a general appointment Judge Bobo, and that he received the petition of the attorneys and ordered the furniture bought, and appointed a comunttee tu bee J it was bought. The record does not disclose, however, that the committee with acting Judge le-j terson rushed over to \agers furniture store aud purchased the lui-1 niture before Jud, e Bobo returned, so he could uot countermand the order. After the order hud been i made and the furniture bought, of course the order could not be countermanded by Judge Bobo, without | making the county liable in damages.
