The ticket placed in nomination by tho National Convention on last Sat urday, is composed of good men, well /uid favorably known throughout the county.

Tlad John Sherman only known that “ iigh” Jenks designed to claim authorship of the Sherman letter, he wo’d li ive sworn out * f It when the copy was before him. But then John <1 in n’t -nor does Mr?. Jenks—know what is yet to trip up this little scheme.

Our townsman, M. F. Chiloote, Esq. yesterday received tho radical nomination for representative to tho state legislature. 1 rank is a capable and clover gentleman, but he is in training with a party holding financial and oilr or theories at variance with the intere3tsof tho masses. It isiherefoiea necossity that ho be defeated at the polls.

—H. E. James, ♦of the Rensselaer Union, was in town Sunday, sowing a eiop of cards, which were mostly gathered up by the small boys before night.—Remington Times. Our consul is a statesman of ecceniti io business habits* His actions, as recorded above,-would seem to indicate that lie designs to let the appointment to Turk Island go to—Stanley Matthews’ friend. Anderson. Radical arguments last Saturday: To Nationals -“Don’t you see the Democrats aim to have you for tiled 'cat’s-paw!’ ” To Democrats “The Nationals uro determined to gobble you up!“ Democrats and Nationals regarded them as fools for their pains, transact' «d business to suit themsolves, and now there is weeping and wailing aaiong the “bloody shirt” operativesI’Our years ago Mr. Janies A. Burn ham was Chairman of jthe Jasper county Badieal Central Committee - to day he is an active, workiug Nation ah To-day Horace E. James is Chairman of the Radical Central Committee and appointee of the Fraud to Turk Island —four years ago Uo was acting with those he now denounces as communists, and aspirant for ths clerk ship at tlieir hands. The consul this week blows hot and iold with the aptitude of an expert.\l.o’s mad at the Democrats, mad at f.he Nationals, mad at the Democrats and Nationals, mad at carpet buggers, mad at his Turk Island follow citizens* •■•is., etc. Their protestations and proKnises, last Saturday, availed them nothing, and now Horace is lustily nawling out “Sour Grapes.” Horace, you can go to—Turk Island. Defeat awaits you here. Certain, sure d - feat! Mark that. Lieut. James Fluukett.of Carpenter township, was in attendance upon and addressed the Democratic convention, last Saturday. He is ablo and elo

quant, ready for the battle, and we trust to hear from him often. Ho and t'ight brothers served faithfully in th«* Union army—some fell in battle.— 'the Lieut, prides himself, and justly, i-00, with always having belonged to the great National Democratic party and to-day stands opposed to the radical bloody shirt sectional party ncr.h as firmly as he opposed a aectionu; siuth during the war.

A Wcman iu Each Case

Eliza Pinkirton, a Black republican, was used to prove in her person tl. t f,i imidation was resorted to by the

Democrats, she was the suffering vit* tim, certain pteelncts must be counted out. and Hayes must be counted in.— Notwithstanding it was distinctly pi ovt*n th:»t the violence ol which she was the victim resulted from other than political causes, she was accepted as •he proof necessary to make a radical President.

And now Mrs. Jenks, a White republican lady, comes forward as the savior of John Sherman, and claims to be the author of the Sherman letter to Anderson. She is “quite peart” in her responses to the questions of the committee, and does not seem to real.ze the fact that they are prepared to overwhelm her Statements. It it not a singular spectacle ? Great radial statesmen requiring the aid of women—white and black, whosefehar acter*, if rumors be true, will Dear whitewashing—to elevate them to power, and to be their helpers in time of trouble. What a picture! Fresh cocoa nutsatCatt & Smoot’s

How they Chime?

The following declaration in the Rudicul platform Is very emphatic: No abandonment or depreciation of the greenback currency. And then Fraud Hayes, who is untiring in liis efforts to abandon and depreciate the greenback currency; who vetoed the bill for the remonetization of silver und is pronouuced in his opposition to repeal of the resumption act is as emphatically endorsed in the following: ******** we recognize in liis personal integrity, rn well os iu the general course of his administration, the guarantee that he will conduct, the government so as to preserve the honor and promote the happiness of the whole country. These radicals will insist that the promotion of the houoraud happiness of tho money lords is sufficient good to satisfy the whole country. Best browned Coffee at Catt & Smoot’s. Try it. I Judge Jero Black, ouo of the best Democrats us well as the ablest law- | yer in tho land in referring to the i propose.! election frauds in the South I says: “No doubt Hayes got the Pres■i leney b, fraud, —the fact needs no j further proof- -“but he got it, and has It”— by concession of act of congress -—“which ought to have withheld it from him. Possession under such circumstances is title to every legal intent and purpose. Mr. Hayes is Presided for four years, unless his term shall be abridged by impeachment, resigna tion or death.” There is no intention of interfering with Mr. Hayes, but the Democratic leaders are deteriniued that the people shall know what ras cully means were resorted to by tho Republicans to defraud the voters out of the President that was honestly elected. Go to Catt & Smoot’s for the best cigars and tobacco iu town. The rads pretend tc bo satisfied with the testimony of Mrs Jenks, and express the opinion that she has exhonerated John Sherman an i demolished Anderson. The Baltimore Ga' zetto takes a different view of the case, aud says that “Anderson on the witness stand produced a number of original documents in the handwitiug of Stanley Matthews, and a copy of a letter to John Sherman, and a contract under seal and duly attested and verified by affidavit, which documents implicated Sherman and Matthews, who were the conlidentiel agents of Hayes, with the perjuries and forgeries or the electoral fraud in Louisiana. Sherman on the stand would not deny the authorship of the letter ascribed to him. Stanley Matthews dared not come on the stand to explain the letters in liis handwriting. Tho authenticity of tho documents is thus established beyond reasonable doubt. Anderson tells the story that gives a rationed explanation of those documents. Granted, that his reputation for veracity is not very good; his evidence does not i est on his a Gravity, i ut upon the documents. The documents explain themselves; th; established facts the whole sequence of events, are explained by those documents. Those are the tilings for John Sherman and Stanley Matthews to explain. What Mrs Jenks has to say is aliunde.”

A nice lot of new Jewelry just re ceived at Orwiu’s. Speaking of those who ask a “fiat money —the fiat of the government which will interfere with, and prevent, ihe operations of bond-holders, goldrooms, stock-jobbers, etc., etc from unsettling values, Ben Harrison, a prominent representative of blue, blooded aristocracy, chairman of the late radical State convention, and Johnnie Winter’s choice to fill Voorhees’ place in the Senate, thus refers to them: "We have no asylum for idiots fn Indiana, but I ihink it would bo wull for the next legislature to turn ita attention in that direction.’’ The following, originating with the “ring,” written by the Grand Turk, of Turk Island, and presented by Judge Van’t-Woud, was adopted by the radical o invention of this county, prior the meeting of the State conclave: "The Republican party will protect the people Irom the degrading effects of those pernicious doctrines which teach that the masses are the wards of the government and may rightfully depend on the government for money and subsistence independently of their individual exertions ” It refers to the seme <1 iss of citizeus designated by the grandson of bis grandfather as “Idiots.” These expressions are gratuitous insults to men of all parties who believe that that the financial policy of Harrison and his followers is pernicious and ruinous to the host interests of t! e whole people. Go to Catt & Smoot for the Bald Head Cigars.

Newton Cony Correspondence.

The reason Mr. Simon P. Thompson was not nominated for State Senator was his supposed interest in the Bank of McCoy & Thompson. delegates to tko Senatorial Conven-

tl n were determined that the nomination should not smirch of .avorit | ism to bunkers. I have this informa- 1 tion from one who was a delegate.— ihese far sighted and patriotic delegates approved the republican state platform which was adopted in the interest of the g • t bankers of the eastj era sea-board cities, who, when the bill to remonetize silver wae under consideration in Congress, boasted that they had peifected rfrangements w h Ttby they could protect themselves whatever might be the legislation of Congress. Iu plain English, they were prepared to resist the action of the Government. Ben Butler, commenting upon this threat, said it was “What U.icbaritable persons might call nullication.” The eastern banker gets all he asks of Indiana republicans, but plain, honest, generous Simon, on mere supposition of connection with a little discount and deposit bank, receives no favor. Truly are bankers not without favors save in their own country. The Republican platform, in declaring opposition to the agitation of the financial question, opposes the repeal of the resumption act, and seems to wi?h to convey the idea that the question henceforth should be held as sacred, and that further agitation.wo d be sacrilege. This opposition to agitation is a direct blow at free speech and a free press. For twenty years I was a Republican, and the tenets of free speech and a free press were cardinal points in our platforms in those times. Now that the party cringes to the Money Power it makes a thrust at free speech, that reminds one of the days when the old slave power dictated platforms. Agitation of the financial question remonetized silver and secured the legal tenders from further contraction and destruction. Let agitation continue until the American system of finance is secured, then the people will once more be prosperous, content and happy.

Ben. Harrison.

[Terre Haute Express, National.] General Ben Harrison is the chosen leader of the Indiana republicans. He is their candidate for the senate, He presided over their covention. He sounded the key-note of their campaign, and this is one of his utterances: Demagogue* say that a species of money called fiat money is the money of the poor man. We have uo asylum for idiots iu Indiana, but I think U ., W0 '. l d b -° f V, r thu next legislature to turn its attention in that direction. We put that in characters for the greenback men of Indiana to read.— We want them to remember it. It would be well to cut it out and show it around, and keep it for rofeience. Bear in miud that it is the first duty of greenback men of Indiana to see that General Ban Harrison is beaten tor the United States senate. Charles Sumner once said that Stephen A. Douglas could not be president because he pronounce* the word negro nigger. Let it be understood that the man who travels out of the way to insult the greenback men of Indiana can never be elected to the United States senate from this state. Harrison was the last republican candidate for governor. He had a good deal of prestige when he started and very li’tle when it ended. He undertook the discussion of the financial question, and he demonstrated that he had never given one day’s study to the subject. He peddled and exploded “milk ticket” argument over the state and he doubtless thinks that it is still sound. He thinks that the whole greenback came can be baffled by a s ieer. He scoffs at “flat money,” and in the next breath bewails tie fact that laboring men are swindled with Mexican dollars worth only 95 cents. The Mexican dollar has three grains more of silver in it than the Am rican dollar, worth 100 cents. Whatbutthe •fiat” of the government make 3 tie

inferior dollar worth the most? Let him ponder that question over seriously, and he will come to know a g od deal more than he did when he got up to make his silly speech. Go to Catt & Smoot for the solid shot smoking tobacco.

A large proportion of the American people are to-day suffering from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent aud valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of druggists and your frieuds, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You eau buy a sample bottfe for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the western continent.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana 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 withfulilegal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United Statss notes, commonly called greenbacks, a fuil legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as arc 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 iu such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are iu 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 people would bo 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 funded debt of tho 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 auoutu. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412* grains, to the coin of the country, aud with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public aud 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 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 public officers 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 tbe property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined ani enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a-law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that, would be just to tffe miner and owner. The democratic 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 funcj, 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, in 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 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 and burden litigants to such an extent a 3 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 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 which a free peo pie had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a 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 ate 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 m 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 Mex- j ican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 18'2. |

National State Platform.

The National Greenback Labor Party of Indiana, in convention assembled, declare: 1. We declare our fealty to tbe American monetary system—the abolition of all baukissnes, the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and the issuing by the government of full legal-tender paper money, receivable for all dnes and payable Tor debts, public ami private, in amount sufficient to meet the wants of trade, to give employment to all labor, and to enable the people to do a cash business, and to relieve them from the debt system which has made the industrial and commercial classes tbe slaves and drudges of the creditmongers of the world. 2. We declare our opposition to every measure looking to the resumption of specie payments, the monarchical system of finance which puts all the interests of industry, trade aud commerce in the hands of the few, and enforces a monopoly of wealth destructive of the highest material good of society. 3. We proclaim our uncompomising hostility to the perpetuation of the system of goverment bonded indebtedness which is intended tohiudunborn generations in chains, and we declare thut the government shonld use all the funds now hoarded for resumption purposes to pay and cancel outstanding bonds, and that it should makouew and liberal issues of money to be applied to the same pnrposa; and that tbe issue of future interestbearing bonds should be prohibited by constitutional amendment 4. We demand that all legislation should be so enacted and so administered as to secure to each man, as nearly as practicable, the just reward of bis own labor; ana we denounce all lawlessness, violence and fraud that refuses submission to tbe will of the people honestly expressed through the ballot. 5. We denounce the red flag communism imported from Europe, which asks forau equal division of property, aud we denounce the communism of the national banks, of the bond syndicates, and of the consolidated railroad corporations, which have secured and are enforcing au unequal division of property, having already divided among themselves ton thousand millions of the pioperty of the people by corrupting the representatives and servants of the people. The one system of communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which hnve been planted by nature iu the human family, and both systems are destructive of the rewards of toil and of the incentive to industry uud exertion.

6. We declare that until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extinction of debt and usury is established the State should by all tbe powers that it can exert, limit aud reduce tbe rate of interest so that it shall iu no event exceed the average increase of wealth by productive industry. 7. We favor simple, plain aud economical government, us few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced— as few officials as practicable, andphev held to a close accountability. To ihls end we demand the abolition of all useless offices, and the overthrow of the system by which offices are made to yield almost princely fortunes. It is the first duly ot the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossible for any local or State official to receive more than uduquute pay for his services; and when practicable tbe compensation should be fixed by a specific salary. 8. We denounce the conspiracy of the Democratic and Republican leaders of Indiana to build a costly and magnificent state house, which, as experience has proved in all similar cases, would result in the genera) plundering of the people.— We denounce the action of the governor hi calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of fostering this scheme. We denounce the indecent haste with which the state house commissioners are proceeding to let u contract to bind the people of tne stute, and we demand that no contract shall be let until the voters of the state have iiad an opportunity to express their will upon the subject through the legislature to be chosen in October next.

9. We protest against the weak and ineffective election laws of Indiana, and we ask thut the next legislature shall enact statutes which shall secure fair elections in the state, and which shall provide severe aud udequate punishment for fraudulent voters, aud for those who bribe voters or procure fraudulent voteß. 10. We denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment of tho legislative and congressional districts of the state in the interest of the Republican party, and the equally unjust apportionments made iu the past by the Democratic party, and we pledge our members of the legislature to vote for a fair and equitable apportionment which shall secure a full and uutramiueled expression of the sen-' timents of the people. 11. The State shall enact laws which will abrogate the abuses aud protect the interests of men who work iu mines, by providing for the proper ventiiution of the mines; and the eurniugs of ail employees of corporations should be a first Hen upon the property of said corporations. 12. It it was wise and needful in 18t>7, when money was plenty and the country prosperous to enact a bankrupt law, it is certainly humane now to amend such law so to prevent frauds and to continue iu force this last escape of the oppressed debtor from the extortions ot the money power And we favor the exemption of not less thuu SI,OOO worth of properly to the householder from forced sale on execution. 13. The constitution should be so amended that the Prcsideui, Vice-President and Senators of the United States shall be elected by direct vote of the people.

14. We are unalterably opposed to adding to the burthens of the people by au increase of the standing army, believiug with Washington that “overgrown military establishments under any form of government arc inauspicious to liberty, and particularly hostile to lepublican liberty.”' 15. We indorse and reaffirm the platform of principles acopted at Toledo, February 22,1878, und we congratulate the country upon the union of the political interests subserving the useful ranks ot society, in one party which shall advance this decree to a higher and better civilization and this oldest gospel, that there shall be work for all and thut all shall work. New York Sun: Johu Sherman doe.B hot admire Eliza Pinkston at Drcsent so much for her beauty as for her silence.
