Meeting of Democratic Central Committee.

The members of the Democratic Central Committee of Jasper county, Indiana, are requested to meet at rooms of Committee, in Rensselaer, on Saturday Mat 18th, 1878, to transact such business as will come before the committee.

JAMES H. LOUGHRIDGE,

IhaW. Yeoman. Ir'ec’v.

A caucus of ladical members of Congress lias resolved to light a o uin*t «m investigation of the Presidential frauds. Tiro editor of the Union is apparently very sensitive over what lu* terms an imputation of ‘-unworthy motives to its hostile attitude towards the confederate party.” No doubt Col. Healey, who khows ids man, enjoyed n 1 realty ha! ha! lia! he! h-l he-e cl ■rver the Pharisaical presumption of his “old paid.” “Unworthy motive” j« good for one seeking position under a Fraud whose title to the [.residency was stolen from the people.

Bro, James takes the Bar Docket, for Juno Term, at sll, ami we con sentThe paper for it will cost $5, and the abor required will add sl2 to sls may be more to it. In past, years he received SBO for the work. Ha justices himself, we understand, on the ground that he did not ask it—it was llowed. Put who ever knew Horace ~o extend grace to any Democratic el. C. taking back pay on the [flea that it was allowed by act. of a radical Congress, approved by Grunt? If Horace does not depart too soon f<.r Turk Island, and continues in the Fine he has mapped out, lie will Hud he has engaged in a little business that will cut like a two-edged sword —both ways.

The Valparaiso Vidette, generally fair and correct in its lluunoial views, commits, we think, a grave error in the following utterance: ' “The resumption act however need not ire repealed, since, needless as it is, it probably will do no hurt, because so very little paper will be offered f or redemption, tis it will itself be mo.rodesirable than coin.” Hon. Johu C. New, radical United States Treasurer under Grant, says thut “resumption means the redemotion of every matured obligation, ;.üblio and private, in coin,” Enforced resumption will therefore destroy Che legal tender qualities of greenbacks, and it will leave debtors to the merciless greed of the Shylucka win > in that event, will demand the “pound of flesh”--coin—in order to secure the valuable mortgaged properties of their helples, victims. Forced resumption will iix the margin between gold and paper. Mark that. Don’t be deceived.

[From tlni Valparaiso Videcta.] The telegraph reports that Mr. James, of Keasseliu-r, the Union editor and publisher, has had his name presented ey the president for confirmation ujf the senate for the consulship at Turk’s Isles, north yard nearly 6U miles from iiayi.i, where the popula Ifuu is about 1231). We are glaU ihut .dr. James has got this nomination, and wo hope it will Do rea lily confirmed, because not only he is otherwise a tit and worthy man, blithe has merited this muik of approbation by devotion one or two years to the president's hard money doctrine, in the face of popular opinion to the contrary prevailing generally in Ihe we.-t. He aught not now to fail of his reward. We say this not because an office should bo, but because it is considered. and by high pay remteied, a eeward tor previous parly services. Bro. James is with his party in this county ou the “hard money doctrine,” as well as witli tiie president, au 1 in convention assembled denounced all who do u-ot ugtee with them in the following insulting terms: ••The liepuhlicftn party will protect the people from the degrading effects of those pernicious doctrines which leach that the masses are the wards of the government uud utttj rightfu 11.. depend on the government lor money and sttnsistence independently of their individual exertions." And this because the people demand that tue government shall cease contraction and supply sufficient cursencey to meet the demands of tra e. They expect it to obtain circulation in a legitimate way and do not ask it to be given them. The charge is as false as it is insulting. Last year Bro. James let off considerable “wind” because we agreed to do the printing of the Agricultural aud Mechanical Association of Jasper county for the sum of thirty-five dollars and the proceeds of tho advertisements in the premium list. He had the presumption to assert that we were doiug tlio work for “less than tiio cost of raw material,” etc., etc., which satisfied us that his pretensions far exceeded his experience and knowledge of the business, and we permitted him to growl aud groan without interruption. At the time the contract was let to us he bid sixty dollars on the same work, aud for accepting the lowest offer, he impugned tiie motives ot the directors, insisted that partisanism.au \ a desire to pro cure labor without reward controlled them. On Saturday last t.Le contract for 1878 was let to Bro. James, his bid b - ing—less than nothing -seven shares

of stock which will be more likely to bear assessments than dividends . Of course tile officials wer. 1 wise in accepting his offer. We have no complaint to make. They acted fair and square, in the interests of the Assoc ation, and are deserving of the full confidence of tiie stockholders. But Bro. James exhibits considerable tact iu ground and lofty tumbling. His tumble from S6O down to—less than nothing, is & thrilling feat, well calculated to bewilder business men generally. We predict he will astonish the natives of Turk Island before lie litis resided there sufficiently long to take out his naturalization papers. [Some of our readers will doubtless recognize the author of the following iult jesting letter iu the initials, as of one who was an employee of ours over thirty years ago. Since then lie has had a rather diversified experience, seen no little of the world beyond his birth-place, Ferguson Valley, this county, aud now,havingpaased the meridian ol life is bearing a hand in laying broad and deep American civilization on this remoe frontier. Lookiug Lack over whi t lu.sru t been uu entirely unfruitful past, we reeal with grateful pride that not one of our many “boys” who have pushed out into the world since they were our ’prentice hands but are doing well, and never fail to send us such tokens of kindly remembrance, and even uffectioii, lit at cannot but be grateful to us. \\ e would not part with tliut kindly temper of “our boys” toward us for untold gold.] Tiie abo re, from the pen of the able editor of ihe Lewis town (Fa.) Democratic Sentinel, with whom with whom we served 'he years of our apprenticeship, is preface to a letter fiom iltc Black Hiils. written by H. P. L., (H P. Lynch j who was our feliow-ap-preotice. From our knowledge of the “boys” to whom lie refers with so much feeling uud kindness, we know they entertain the sentiments of regard and affection, toward his family as well as himself, which he so fully appreciates. In our lust interview with Cot. J. Ed. Robinson, of Lafayette, who 'snared our apprentice days, reminisce uses of the {past came up, and the kindness and regard of Mr. and Mrs. Wallers for the welfare and comfort of the “boys” was alluded to. The ‘ boys’' fully estimate tiie sincerity Mr. W. when he says “Wo would not part with that kindly temper of “our hoys” for untold gold.”

Chairman.

Esfense of t he Toiling Masses.

In Ins pieu before the Senate for the repeal oj the Resumption Act, Mr_ V oorhees presented statistics showing how few were owners of the lands of Europe and how cruel aud oppressive then exactions. lie then pictured iu true colors the steady srides beiug made in that direction in our own Ile-pui-dic, and proceeded to defend the people against the charge of the Shylocks that their extravagance had brought about the date of aflairs that now exist. We make ihefollovviu extracts: Sir. tiiuse statistical facts arc OAcrwhclmiug in their niguificancc. They reveal every feature of human seiv tude and up all the ghastly tin. | ''aments of degradation, famine and woe. They explain the exodus of {he last 35 years from Great Britain, din ing which time seven millions of her subjects have, exiled themselves from her shores. I have cited them, however, at this time, not for the purpose of dwelling on them, hut simply to show* to American land owners who have been loreetl to mortgage their lands to the money powi , ‘ r 11 con .ten sou and comprehensive view of the j l ‘" ,! 11 Uiai career on which thev have entered.

And I desire . m ujeir heuail to appeal to the American Congress to promptly unoo, as far as possible, the ruin i mat has oe,<u iaiticted, uud to inaugurate a liuaucial reformation which will secure to the toiling '**i mi r his imperiled home auti to the industrious mechaiii.: living wages.

Debt is a merc;l (»s master, and gives its victims little time amt less inclination to consider anything except its ceaseless demands.

[From the Remington Times.] Appointments.— The president has nominated Horace E. James, ol Indiana, consul at Turk’s Island.-Chica-go Times. That is all there was of it, but ft throws a flood of light over the course pursued by the Rensselaer Union since Hayes’ inaugural. This shows why that paper, standing almost alone in the State, persistently supported the administration in its opposition to the silver bill, and boldly supported all the odious financial measures of the gold bugs. It shows that in advocating measures so inconsistent with the interest of his patrons, for a“auid pro quo,” Mr. James was only consistent with himself, aud his past record Congratulations are now in order. —The Rensselaer Union man was cleverly caught by the Republican convention, and safely anchored by being made Chairman of the county central committee. Thus, was this luminous, erratic, independent political eotnet captured and harnessed to the machine, and made to obey the laws that govern political bodies. —Barney Patton met with a serious affliction this wtek, in the death of one of his horses, thus breaking up his best pair of roadsters, the blacks. - Remington Times.

The democracy of the state of In diuna assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with fulilegal tender quality. That we are iu favor of making tiie United States notos, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender inpayment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, exoressly payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the go"erni»ent, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes iu common with all other money. That we deem it unwise an inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of tiie national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of tile government and the best interest of the people would be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the f unded debt of the United States. That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 4124 grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of t lie immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be re--dueed. That vve are in favor of tiie repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts aud earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined ;tn»! enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to H e miner and owner.

Committee.

The democratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every legitima e way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative rurposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, *nd we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the state for legisla’ tive purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory. That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws-of the states tends to oppress ami burden litigants to such au extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of che people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplat d by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of subsidies by the federal government,either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. That wo abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaeed effrontery, carried' out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people's choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to whioh freer neopie had called them. We hold it up «s the monster crime of the age, a

THE PLATFORM.

crime against free government a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have ontraged. And we denounce the act of the president of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts ot federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of I*l2.
