The Democrats of Gillum township, will held a convention Satuiday of next week at the usual place of voting and select delegates for county convention. The “Visiting Statesmen” are in tne hands of a Pott r, who will sash ior. them into vessels of wrath. A radieu l remarked, on reading the platform of the radical state oonven Ron: “It is the thinnest gruel ever offered to a sick party.” The great speech of Hon. I). W. Voorhees on the repeal of the Radical Resumption A-d, will be found on tlie lirst page of this paper. Read it. eare- ' illy, then hand it to your neighbor with the same injunction. It is good, solid, truthful reading. Speaking of Calkins, Horace says: ' Only a few days since, in an encounter * * * with Mr. Speaker Randall, the latter came out of the contest most beautifully flogged, as the tnorc honest of his friends freely admitt d ” Considerable fluukeyism In the quoted extract.

The Valparaiso Vidotte, republican, intimates that she national greenback and Democratic parties of Jasper county will join teams, the republ! mis of the county being advocates of the hard money policy of the administration and treating the greenback men as repudiationists. film-blooded Ben. Harrison, the grandson of his grandfather, and first choice of the Jasper covnty radical ring for U. B. Senator, presided over the radical >tute convention Wednesday, and in his speech denounced greenbackers as idiots and lunatics.— Bro. James professes to coincide with him. —A now title: —Chairman of the Jasper County Republican Centra' Committee and “ex-officio“ Consul to Turk’s Island.— Remington Times. Yes, and ox- seeker for county clerkchip; ex-granger; ex-carpet-bagger from the radical ranks; ex-greer-backer—well, altogether, he’s an exr’oruery man. For tiie fiscal year thus far there is a deficiency in the Federal revenues of $11,000,003, ami thanks to a Dem - • •ratio House of Representatives, a decrease in expenditures of $8,000,000. as compared with a eorresponding period of last year. The would have offset the deficiency but for the opposition of the radical Senate.

The radical congressional address complains that the passage of the Totter resolution has a. tendency lo Mexicanizo the government, weaken the administration and make it disreputable. Its personelle could hardly be weaker than it is, or more disrepulable than it has made itself. As to Mexicanizing th gov rnment.thattoc has been accomplished by the Louisiana and Florida returning board seoundiels, with the connivance of the knavish ’’visiting statesmen,” and the consent and approbation of Haye-. Little Hale is the author of this uniqi address, and it is worthy of its author. —The time hoi oed epeuion so debating clubs: “Resolved. That then is more pleasure in anticipation that

ii possession, has been solved in the affirmative by friend James. Now that he lias an appointment he cares milling for it. Happy to learn he is to remain.— Don’t know what tne next change in 'he moon may bring about. Can’t say but wnat he may bo hand in hand in'hano with u.s in our efforts tor - quire of the radical administration a ecognition of the wants of the people, tiud cease crawling at the feet of the money lords.

“Wheat field Township Notes,” writ ten in the Union office by a sly old fo x who failed ro cover up his tracks, are not wholly truthful. But about twoUiirds of the willow, and none of the birch, arc growing. Of politics, hi.s protracted absence from the township disqualifies him speaking. When the truth flashes upon his mind he will swear-worse than ever Hollander did before. B.

Referring to “Col.” (was Maj. two years ago) Calkins’prospects in Jas. per county, obsequious Horaee says: “He will carry our county by a majority at least twenty-five per centum larger than his majority in 1876, which was 341.”

Bro. James is no prophet. About two short years ago we were present at a caucus held in Michigan City the evening previous to the meeting of the Democratic Congressional Convention, when he arose and pledged Jasper county to Dr. Raymond. Jasper didn’t verify his prophecy then any more than it will now.

When a “backslider” fills from grace and returns to his evil ways, it is said hell becomes uproarious with delight. Bo with the radical party. It cannot do too much for brother •Tames on his return to the faith of radicalism. He is presented for the chairmanship of the county committee as one who hud always been true to the faith. The Fraud hastens to shower upon him a supply of stolen goods, and slaves him as consul to a warm climate. Not to be outdone the radical state conveulion selected him to represent this district on the state central committee. He couldn’t even get a husk (clerkship) from the grangers. but the rads have outdone the “fatted calf” feast.

A Fact Not to be Forgotten.

Since the manner and method in and by which Mr. Hayes was inducted into the presidential chair is apt to engage a good deal of the public attention, it will net come amiss to revert to tile great electoral contest of 1877. The 'rick by which the monster fraud of the age assumed legal rorm was devised by the cunning and wholly unscrupulous Vermont Yaukee, Senator Edmunds, who managed in some way to incorporate a provision into ihe electoral commission bill maki .g the decision of the tribunal final, “and tile count proceed in conformity ther ■■ with, unless the two houses shall separately concur in ordering otherwise.” This eituning provision put the count of the electoral votes into the hands of the Republican Senate—although tae constitution clearly contemplates that the vote of no State shall be counted against the judgment and determination of the House. As the Senate refused to join the House to “order otherwise,” the decision of the commission stood intact, and Florida and Louisiana were counted for Hayes and W teeler. But after the Senate refused to reject the unrighteous decision of the commission in those two States, tlie House solemnly enacted this pregnant resolution:

“Ilesolved by the House of Representatives of the United Mates of America, Tout it is the duty of the House to declare, and this House does hereby solemnly declare, that Samuel J. Lildeii, of tne Btate of New York, received TJ6 electoral vo.es tor the office of President of the United Btalcs, uli of which votes were east and lists thereof signed, certified and transmiited to tiie seat of Government, directed to ttie President of the Ben ate, in conformity with the Constitution aud laws of thellnited Btates, by electors legally eligible and qualified as «uch electors, each of whom Had been duly unpointed and elected, in the maimer directed by the Legislature of the Btate in and for which lie east his vote, as aforesaid; and that Bamuel J. Tildeu, having thus received the votes of ti majority of he electors appointed es aforesaid, tie was thereby duly elected President of the United Btates of America for the term of four years, commencing °u Jthe fourth uay of March A. D., 1877; and this house further declares that Thomas A. Hendricks, having received the same number of the electoral votes for the office of Vice President of the United Btates that were east for Bamuel J. Tildeu for President as afoiesaid, tiie votes having been cast for him by the same persons who voted for the said Tilden for President as aforesaid, and at the time and in the same manner, it is the opinion of this House that said Thomas A. Hendricks, of the State of Indiana, was duly elected Vice-President of the United Btates for a term of four years, commencing on the fourth day of March.”

The vote on this resolution was taken on the fourth day of March, 1877. One hundred and thirty-six votes were given in favor of it, 88 against it, and ti 6 did not vot'\ —Ligonier Banner Bro. James represented the King of the Sandwich Islands at the mas querade at Mr. Warner’s. Sec. Seward, well known as one of the best harness makers in the State, will next weeK commence business in the rooms recently vacated by LaRue. We wish him success, and feel satisfied that he will deserve it.

The new board of trustees,ora majority of them, are so elevated over the little brief authority with which they suddenly lud themselves invet - ed, that they spit upon the expressed wisli of the people with reference to 'lie appointment of corporation mar dial. A few short mouths will pass ina the people will spurn from pliie those who Lm,d dared to treat them with contempt.

Strawberrv Festival.

The young ladies of the Presbyterieu Church, of Rensselaer, will give a Strawberry and lee Cream Festival on this (Friday) evening at the chur h. Besides Strawberries and Ice Cream, other refreshments of the season will be supplied. A general and cordial invitatiou to attend is extended to the public. Mr. Leopold was selected to succeed Mr. Fendig on the school board. He will no doubt prove an efficient, working member. We understand that the president of the city dads for two days labored under the erroneous impression that Mr F. L. Clark was the new appointee. —lt is more than likely that Bro. James has, or will be, granted leave of absence from Turks Island until after the election this fall. He can hardly be spared just now, but of course his Consular pay will come in just the same.—Remington Times. An Indiana girl made S6OO raising broamcorn, last year.

The one system of communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which have been planted by nature in the human lamin', and both syatema are destructive ol‘ the rewards ol toil and of the incentiye to industrv and exertion.

We declare that until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extiucUon ot debt and usury is established the State should by all the powers that it cau exert, limit aud reduce the rate of interest so that it shall in no event exceed the average increase of wealth bv productive industry. 1 7. We favor simple, plain and economical gov ernment, as few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced—as few otHmale as practicable, andithey held to a close accountability. To this end we demand the abolition ol all useless offices, and the overthrow of the system by which offices are made to yield almost princely lortuues. It is the first duty ot the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossible loi any local or State official to receive more than adequate pay lor his services; aud when specific* sa?uVy 6 co ‘ u P onttation should be fixed by a 8.

Now Method of Preserving Fruit.

A new method of preserving fruit is practised in England. Fears, app.es aud other fruits are reduced to a paste, when it is pressed inio cakes an i gently dried. W hen requi ed for use it is only necessary to pour i>oioug water over them, allow th into soak lor twenty minutes and then add sugar to suit tne taste. T..e fine flavor of the fruit is said to be retained to perfection. The cost of the prepared product is scarcely greater tuun that of the original fi uit, differing with the supply aud price of the latter; the keeping qualities are exet lient, so that it may te had at any time of the yea , and bears long sea voyages without detriment. No peelim* - or coring is required, so there is no waste.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diaua assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, an l in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are in favor of malting the United Stat;s notes, 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 government, 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 in common with all other money. That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the p mple would be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them tiie most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of thu United States. That we are in favor of such legislation as shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412* grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and pri rate; aud 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 the 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 publio ollioora should be reduced. That we are in favor of the 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 futuie 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 and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined an »I enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to R e miner and owner. The deiuucratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every legitimate 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 purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, i i apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

That the jurisdiction claimed and e xercised 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 and burden litigants to such an 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 the people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated 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 we 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 aud 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 which a free people had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government acrime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential ehair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have outraged. 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 law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.
