The city election is next Tuesday. Prepare to stamp the eagle. Indiana cities will talk to the country on next Tuesday. The verdict will he unanimous against

democracy.

Theke is no excuse for any republican not voting this year. Don't be over confident. Get out the vote and line up a grand old time majority in Greencastle. The Putnam county convention resembled a congressional conven tion and the state convention looks like a national convention. All of j which goes to show that there are j more republicans to the acre this year than ever before known. It is a mater of history that every opportunity that has been offered in this country for the people to record their enmity to the democratic platform has been eagerly seized by the voters, and as a re-1

suit democracy has been overwhelmingly defeated right and left. There are abundant indications that Greencastle voters entertain , the same opinion politically that is | so prevalent universally. Greenj castle and Putnam county people are anxious to go on record with a J verdict against democracy, and on ! May 1 and next November they ! will speak loud for republican

| principles.

A HE ACTIOS AKY PARTY.

Globe-Democrat.

Senator Morton used to say of the democrats that they always rode with their backs to the locomotive, i and so never saw anything until jtlicy had passed it. This has been illustrated so often in their pro eeedings that all readers of politi cal history are well acquited with it. The acceptance of the Reed quorum counting rule is the latest and one of the most notable examples. There is hardly any other one thing that democratic conventions, orators and newspapers have denounced in such bitter and violent terms as this parliamentary expedient which they now appropriate to their uses and make a part of their system of belief and practice. They had their backs to it when the republicans introduced it, and could not see its manifest wisdom and virtue; but time and experience have enabled them to comprehend and appreciate it, and hence they hasten to adopt it as if it were a new discovery, or as if they had never questioned its validity and propriety. Thus another tardy confession of past stupidity is added to the long list of such democratic performances. One by one. nearly all of the positions of the party in the last fifty years have been reversed ; and the things which it opposed with most violence and pertinacity when they were originally accomplished it now indorses and commends with most alacrity and enthusiasm. The matter has a comic aspect and is readily perceptible; but it also conveys an idea of persistent inconsistency and insin verity that is seriously significant, It is easy to remember that the democratic party sustained slavery up to the last moment, but when emancipation ensued anti the curse was utterly abolished, it became strongly anti-slavery. All of the measures necessary to the prosecution of the war for the preservation of the Union encountered its relentless hostility, and subsequently received its formal approval and vin dication. It antagonized thepolicy of issuing greenbacks with frantic determination, and contended a few years later that such money should he used in paying the public debt. When the resumption of specie payments was proposed, it discarded its previous theory upon the subject. and resisted that great and beneficent undertaking with all of its power until after the result was fully attained, and then it wheeled about and made pretense of having always desired that sort of action. It opposed all of the constitutional amendments designed to give prac tical and permanent effect to the results of the war, and then as soon asthey were all securely established, it ratified them and tacitly claimed a part of the credit for them. These are the most conspicuous instances of its characteristic tendency in the way of repudiating its own record and discrediting its own intelligence and integrity. This latest of its rcactionan exploits only serves to emphasize a general condition of its nature and its course as a political organization. It changes its principles and opin-

ions with shameless facility, subordinating all considerations of honor, propriety and self-respect to the assumed necessities of political safety and success. Such a party is certainly not fitted to control the affairs of a great nation like the United States; and it will be relieved of that responsibility by a tremendous majority at the next election. sorsits the alarm. The speech of Senator Hill, in which he takes issue with the administration policy has gained him much abuse from a largo number of democratic organs, but a few leading ones defend him vigorously. The Cincinnati Ennvirer compares him to Stephen A. Douglas. It says: “The speech of Senator Hill, of New York, is the most timely, courageous, and sagacious utter anee made in the Senate chamber by any democrat since Stephen A. Douglas' assault against the Kansas policy of President Buchanan in December 1857. There is a striking parallel between the conditions which confronts the democratic party then and now. Then, as now, the senior senator from a great state sounded the alarm, and noti tied the administration that if iis course was persisted in the party was doomed to certain defeat. The New York senator denounces this scheme as unnecessary, ill-timed, mischievous, undemocratic and socialistic, and enters the protest of the people of his state against it." There seems to he a fine chance for a ruction in 189ti. THE CITY ELECTIOX. The city election occurs on May 1, and the day is rapidly approaching. Republicans will win in Greencastle easily, of course; but this should not be taken into consideration by the party. What is wanted is work, hard earnest work, and such work as will give the ticket a rousing big majority, such a majority as will remind the county of old times. Over confidence is a bad disease ami the republicans of Greencastle shouljl shake the same off' if they find it » seizing upon them. Get out tile vote and have the voters go to the polls and after they stamp tile eagle they will have done their duty. Nothing short of a rousing, big majority for the republican ticket will satisfy the party man: gers and. a general hustle should he put forth to that end. Those republican county convention resolutions which were adopted with uproarous applause on the 14th, appear to he a thorn in the side of democracy to such an extent that the democratic newspapers refuse to publish the same. We have therefore determined to keep these resolutions standing for the benefit of the general public as we feel that they express the sentiment of many people in the county who know that democracy hits downed them so wofully. The lack of newspaper enterprise by our democratic contemporaries is an evidence of weakness and shows that the resolutions do not suit them or their party managers. Here they are : The republicans of Putnam county, in convention assembled, hereby reatfinn their allegiance to tin* principles set forth in the platform adopted by the republican national convention of 18112. Wo desire to call the attention of every Putnam countv voter, regaydloss of former party affiliation, to the unparaielled prosperity of our government and it’s people while harvesting the benefits of a republican protective policy, and we ask them to carefully and honestly contrast that period with the present condition of uncertainty and depression, which is—as many leaders of the democratic party and the leading democratic papers of the country concede—directly due to threatened tariff' and financial legislation. We believe that a comparison of tins kind will be made be every earnest voter, and that, in November next, Putnam county, like many other democratic strongholds, will enter an 1111uiistukahle protest against the proposed legislation that has produced the present conditions. The long continuation of the democratic party in poweriu Putnam county has invited evils and practices that are detrimental to the people, and we believe that the time has come when a change is desirable to a majority of the voters of this county. We therefore present to the voters of Putnam county the candidates which we this day nominate, with the pledge that frugality and economy will he ottr watch-word; that no public money shall be expended during the present business depression, except such as necessity demands: that taxation shall lie reduced ami every |K>ssible burden of the people be removed and the people receive more anti better service Ihan they arc now receiving.

THOSE CANDIDATES. (Continiieil from First P<ige.) ty-third Illinois regiment, which subsequently became a part of the ( celebrated and world famous Wild- ■ er's Mounted Brigade. Mr. Heat ! saw particularly hard service in the field and was in many hardtaught buttles, not laying down his gun until the final round up in 1 18t>5. He had the pleasure of see- | ing that man Jeff'. Davis captured j and brought to their division headquarters. After Mr. Real's discharge from service in.1865, hereturned to Putnam county, and has since been one of us. His first vote was for Freemont and Dayton in 1856, and he is proud to say that he has never voted any other kind of a ballot. Though not demonstrative, Mr. Real has ever worked in his humble way for the success of the republican cause, and thinks the democrats will see their mistake and will fall in with overtures for mercy before it is everlastingly too late. Mr. Rent has never sought office, and his nomination for com tnissioner from the second district is a shining example of the office seeking the man. His acceptance of the nomination was solicited so strongly by republicans (and many democratic friends) that a refusal was out of the question. He is in the fight, and when the November sun casts shadows on the wall and in the brush the official count will show that “Ceph” Real will come up from his township with an enormous vote. JOHN I,. BRIDGES. John L. Bridges, the young candidate for commissioner from the first district, was born in August. 1858, and is thus thirty-five years of age. He is a native horn Putnam boy, having first seen daylight in Franklin township, in which district he still resides. His chief occupation is farming and stock raising, which pursuit he has successfully followed all his life. He has had practical experience in other business, however, and is well qualified for the exacting work of a county commissioner. As administrator of estate and guardian of heirs he has proved a success, and, in fact. Mr. Bridges lias been successful in everything he has taken hold of. The demand for Mr. Bridges’ nomination was so strong that his selection was put through with an unanimous roar. He has been a faithful republican all the voting part of his life, and when elected to the ottlee of commissioner will take with him to that hoard some business methods that have for so long been needed in that important place. Mr. Bridges stands forth needing no apologies. He is clean, clear-headed an 1 will make a good commissioner. (The entire list of candidates above published stand ready to back up the strong resolutions adopted by their party in convention, which resolutions the democratic papers appear to fear so greatly.—Ed. Bakneh Times.] The Globe-Democrat truly says that the number of republican victories this fall will be limited only by the number of states lying north of the Ohio river. The loss of the gold and the deficit in the revenues, which grow larger each month, are not comfortable things to consider these democratic days. There may be some doubt as to the Coxey movement on Washington being right, but there is no doubt whatever that congress is

wrong.

The republican county ticket is being well received, and the indications are that it will be triumphantly elected. Vote for Birch, Hurley, Starr, Gilmore, Abrams, Perkins and Miller on next Tuesday. Peeeer's whiskers are not so horribly had after all. He will vote against the Wilson bill. Sicii a scarcity of democratic state candidates was never before

known.

It isn’t ill health that is keeping democracy so quiet this year.

JUDGE CUNNING IN IT.

Tli** llloomiiigtun Lawyer Will Give George

W. Cooper a Hot Fight.

Judge Cunning, of Bloomington, hits shied his castor in the congressional ring and will make a fight for the demoeratie nomination. He Inis issued a manifesto and is for a whole passel of things that Cooper isn't. As the Banner Times is not averse to publishing platforms we give the judge's card as taken from the Bloomington Telejthonc: To the Democrats of the Fifth Congres-

sional District of Indiana:

At the solicitation of many friends, and also following my own inclinations in the matter, I will he a candidate for

congress in this district.

I am in favor of more money.

Last November John (i. Carlisle sa d in a speech in New York city : “The mints of the United States have coined 419.332,550 standard silver dollars, ami we now have 140.(199,700 ounces of tine silver bullion, which at Ihe ratio of 10 to 1, would make $181,914,841, or $001,247,391 in the aggregate. Besides this we have $70,977,002 in snbsidary silver coin, which is legal tender to the amount of ten dollars, and is by law redeemable in full legal tender money on presentation. Our total stock of gold coin and

gold bullion is $059,167,949.”

I would like to see that 140.699,700 ounces of tine silver bullion coined and pur into circulation, making $180,914,841 which is badly needed to transact the

business of the country.

In the public debt report made the first of this month the following occurs : “Of the silver in the treasury $305,807.734 was in dollars, $17,073,20! in suhsidary coin, and $127,220,007 in bars, making the total amount in silver $510,101,208, which is now in bars, coined and put into circulation. That money, and more, is needed to transact

the business of the country.

France with a population of 38,300,000 has a per capita circulation $36.81. The United States with a population of 07.000. 000 has $25.55 per capita. France has almost $7,non,000in gold and almost $7,000,000 in silver. Why should France have more money per capita than the United States? France is one of the most beautiful and highly cultivated countries I ever saw. It is fully developed. while here we have swamps to reclaim, lauds to clear, houses to build, bridges to construct and a thousand other things to do, that are already done

in France.

We are the most energetic and progressive nation on earth. We need more money per capita than does France. The Straights, with a population of 3.800.000, have a per capita of $28.94. Belgium has $20.70 per capita. No logical reason can be given why any of these countries should have a greater per capita circulation of money than the United States. I am in favor of a tariff' for revenue, and favor the Wilson bill as it passed the House of Representatives, lam opposed to any favoritism to any trust or class of citizens. A. M. Cenninu. Bloomington, Ind., April 23, 1894.

Tliey Inereasp flip Dpmunil for tup H. T. The democratic organs Saturday both commented lightly on the great republican convention of last Saturday, and couch their headlines in ahout the same language. They could not stretch their imaginations enough to say the affair was a failure, but they try to throw light on the great outpouring by saving it was arranged lor on account of the last day before tax-paying and other shallow reasons. They both head it “caluinltv howlers." The strangest part of their reports is they refuse to publish the strong resolutions as passed. Now, why is this? It is a part of every well regulated newspaper to publish resolutions of any party, as that is news of the best quality, and the Banner Times never fails on that point, but last Saturday's resolutions appear not in either of the demoeratie journals. They evidently don't like the tone of the resolutions, as they were extremely denunciatory of demoeratie principles. Perhaps this omission on the part of the democratic journals is the cause of the increased demand for copies of the Banner Times, which gave a truthful report of the convention, together with the resolutions in full. The discontented democrats want the news these democratic times. We would suggest ;o our contemporaries that they cannot put off their readers so lightly. Give them the republican news or start more papers. State of Ohio. City ok Toi kdo.) Lccas County. \ ss - Frank J.
