Address of Democratic County Committee.

Headquarters Democratic CkN Com. Rensselaer, Ind., Oct. 11, 1*578. To the Demo> rats and Nationals of jasper County.we send greeting: We have just closed the hioslvig-| orous and closely eontes’led campaign j fever conducte’. in ttds county We have done well. Two years ago Jasper c&unty gave a Republican major ityof497 for Ranison. Our opponents have repeatedly and defiantly j claimed that we would certainly be defeated by at least 400, and boasted , that not a single candidate ou our ticket could carry his own township. The Republican candidates were all citizens of Republican townships; so were ours, in every case but oiie.— | Now look at the result: Charles 11. Price, of .Carpenter, our candidate for Clerk, received 41 majority over Janies F. Irwin, a citi Zen Of the same township! which two years ago gave a Repubii an majority of 127. Prices majority in the c;iiuty, 99. E. E.-Rockwood, of Carpenter, our candidate for Commissioner of 3d District, has 52 majority over Win, B. Pt ice, pf same township. His majority in the county, 52, Wm. E. Moore, of Hanging drove, has 25 majority In his own township, and beats 11. I. Adams, of Jordan, 5 votes in that township, which gave a Republican majority of 50 in 1876. Jas. M. Nickell, of Hanging Grove, has 71 majority in his own township. Barkley gave 31 republican major try in 18'6, now gives Hon. George If. Brown, our candidate for Representative, a majority of 18. B. W. Harrington, of Union, our candidate for Commissioner, Ist DisDiet, carries his township by 32. Ezra C. Nowels, of Marion, our candidate for Auditor, gets 20 majority in Gillam, over Beni. 11. Faris, a citizen of that township, which gave a republican majority of pl only' two years ago. Hope B. Miller, of Marion, has 8 majority in Barkley township, where his competitor, James T. Abbett, resides. Official returns elect our Clerk, Auditor, and one Commissioner, while tour of our candidates are) defeated by majorities ranging only from 9 to 18. These might all have been saved to us by equal majorities, [ had it not been for the indifference of our friends in Walker township alone. We have elected our Senator and Representative by largely increased majorities,—have gained three ,or four Congressmen, and carried the State by an overwhelming vote. Our National friends deserve great praise for their fidelity and activity in accomplishing this result. Let us continue the good work 30 nobly begun, and press ionward to more complete victories in the near future. J. H. LOUGHRIDGE, Chairman Ira W. Yeoman, Secretary.

THE RECORD OF IT.

A cotemporaiy has compiled the iecord of the Financial legislation of Congress, especially in reference to the bonds, resumption, etc , which we publish below: 1. On the 18th of June, 18t>2, the following amendment to the bill authorizing an issue of bonds was offered in the House by Mr. Holman: “Provided That nothing in this act shall impair the right of the States to tax the bonds, notes and other obligations issued under this act.” The vote was as follows: For the amendment Democrats, (13; Republicans. 8. Again the amendment —|Demociats, (l; Republicans, 77. NATIONAL BANK ACT. 2. On the 25th of February, 1863. the National Batik Bill was reported in :he Senate by John Sherman from the Finance Committee. It was taken up on the 9th of Fein nary, and passed on the 121 b, by a vote of 22 to 21. The vote was: For the bill— Democrats, 2; Republicans, 29. Again.-T the bill—Democrats, 12; Republicans, 9. On the 13th of February the bill ■was sent to the House, and without being referred to the Committee on Ways and Means was taken up on the 19th and on the 20th was pressed to a vote It was as follows: For the bill -Democrats 3; Republicans, 75. Against the bill—Democrats 42; Republicans, 22. The brief time given for the consideration of this important measure, establishing a consolidation in the interests of the money power, compared with which the monster that Jackson slew, (the United States Bink), was a mere pigmy, cannot escape notice. The people were absorbed in the war, and the. money power had full sway in Congress. THE SUPPLEMENTAL NATIONAL BANK ACT. 3. On April 18, 1864, what is known as the Supplemental National Bank Bill, designed to foster and nerpatu ate the national banking system, came before Congress. The vote in the House was:

For the bill- Democrats, 9; Repub- I Henns, 80. Against the bill-Democrats, 65; Republicans, 1. At the same time a resolution to tax the -banks was arbitrarily ruled “out of order” by the Speaker, a Republican to prevent discussion. THE ACT TO STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC CREDIT. 4. On March 18, 1869, the act "to strenthen the public credit” was passed. By the letter of the law, under the gag law of the “previous ques- , tion.” The vote in the House was: I For the bill—pemociats, 1; Republicans, 96. Against the bill—Democrats, 34; Republicans, 12. In the Senate the vote was: For the bill—Democrats,o; Republicans. 42, Against the bill —All the Democrats; Republicans, 7. j COFFEE, TEA, ETC., TO BE TAXED, BUT NOT BONDS. 5. Ou March 29, 1869, a resolution to tax bonds and exempt salt, tea, coffee, sugar, matches and tobacco . was offered iu the House. The vote I was: i For the resolution—Democrats, 39; ’ Republicans, t). Against the resolution—Democrats, . 0; Republicans, 104. AN ACT TO REFUND THE PUBLIC DEBT. 6. On July 14.187(1, an act was pass od to refund $500,009,000 of the 5-20 ' bonds, payable iu greenbacks, into i bonds payable in coin. The vote in I the House was: For the bill—Democrats, 0; liepub- ! lieans, 139. Against the bill—Demociats, 54; Republicans. 2. I In the Seuute.the Republicans vet- , rd solid for the bill, and the Dcjaio- ' ci ats against it. ' NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION INCREASED. I 7. In July, 1870, John Sherman, from the Finance Committee, reported a bill to increase the national bank . circulation $54,000,000. A substitute for the bill was offered in the House profit sing to take up the national bank notes and issue $300,000,000 of in their stead.. The vote was: ( For the substitute —Democrats, 41; Republicans, 10, Against the substitute—Democrats, 6; Republicans, 105. The original bill was carried by | about thesame vote. ! 8. On the 31st of January, 1870, the following resolution was offered iu the Houss: THE NATIONAL DEBT MUST BE PAID IN SPECIE. “Resolved, That the national debt I should be paid in strict compliance with the contract, whether it is made payable In gold or greenbacks; that i the 5-20 bonds are payable in green- . bucks or their equivalent, and we condemn the policy of the administration which is squandering millions of money by buying such bonds at a high rate of premium when the government hud the clear right to redeem them at par.” | The vote on this resolution was: For the resolution—Democrats, 34; IV' tFttb'iicrirjn, 1. Against the resolution—Democrats, 3; Republicans, 119 . SILVER DEMONETIZED. j 9. The act to demonetize silver was surreptitiously smuggled through Congress under the title M a bill to i "regulate the coinage,” at the instance of foreign bondholders and bankers, who were represented by a , committee at Washington City at the j time this rascally piece of legislation was enacted, as appears from the proi feedings as given in the Congressional ! Record.

THE SO CALLED RESUMPTION ACT. 10. The sc-jailed resumption law of 1875, which has paralyzed the industries of the country, was passed under the “gag law,” John Sherman declaring, when it was offered in the Senate, that he “would press the bill to its passage from that hour forward.” Tne vote on the bill in the Senate was: For the bill—Democrats, 0; Republicans, 32. Against the bill All the Democrats; Republicans, I. In the House the vote was: For the bill—Democrats, 0; Republicans, 136. Against the bill—All the Democrats; Republicans, 24. THE REMONETIZATION OF SILVER. IL On November 5.1877, the House passed the bill to r‘monetize silver. Public sentiment was so strong in its favor that none—Democrats or .Republicans—dared vote against it except Congressmen representing constituencies controlled absolutely by the money power, such as A. b. Hew--1 itt, Democrat, of New York, and A. ' Herr Smith, Republican, of Lancas- ! ter, who made themselves eonspieu- ; ous in their opposition to the passage l of the bill. The vote on this bill i was: For the bill—Democrats, 97; ReI publicans, 67. Against the bill—Democrats, 10; Republicans, 24. In the Senate, however, where Rs publicans were in a majority, the bill was amended so as to limit the coinage of silver, and otherwise cripple the measure, and finally was veioed by the President. THE REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION ACT. 12. On the 23d of November, 1877, a bill to repeal the resumption law passed the. House. The vote was: For the bill—Democrats, 104; Rei publicans, 28. Against the bill—Democrats, 29; Republicans, 92. Ihe bill was killed in the Senate This b ief and incomplete outline of the record of the Republican party is sufficient to establish conclusively that it is, ami has been all along, rhe subservient tool of the bondholders and national banks and should . no longer receive any support from the business or industrial classes of the country Prepare to make, two years from now. the condemnation 1 still more emphatic than it was on Tuesday.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government unequal amount of treasury notes withfullle gal tender quality. That we are iu favor of making the United Stat;s notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment 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'-ernment, and such money should be issued in such amounts us 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 ot home syndicates, or other methods; and w’e believe the true policy of the 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 funded debt of the 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 ami 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 icautnptioii We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare r liat the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are iu 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 ami to protect the f'utuie 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, ami that such lien snd’d\ be declared, defined an< enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to *’ 0 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, in apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territoThat the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate ami 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 iu 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 barefaced 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 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 a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.

National State Platform.

The National Greenback Labor Party of Indiana-, in convention assembled, declare: 1. We declare our fealty to the American mon- ■ etary system—the abolition of ail baukissnes, the ' free’and unlimited coinage of gold aud silver, and ; the issuing by the government of full paper money.' receivable for all dues and payable for debtis public ami private, in amount sufficient to meet the wants of tiade. to give employment to all labor, and to enable the people to ao a cash business, aud to relieve them from the debt system which has made the industrial and commercial classes the slaves and drudges of the creditmongers of the wofid. 2. We declare our opposition to every measure i looking to the resumption of specie payments, the I monarchical system of finance which puts all the ; interests of industry, trade and commerce in the hands of the few, and enforces a monopoly of wealt h destructive of the highest material good of ' society. 3. We proclaim our uncompomising hostility to I the perpetuation of the system of goverment bond- i ed indebtedness which is intended tohindunborn ! generations in chains, aud we declare that the | government should use all the funds now hoarded ' for resumption purposes to pay and cancel out- ; standing bonds, and that it should mni.dnew and ! ii neral issues of money to be applied to the same i purposa; and that the issue ol future interestbeaung bonds should be prohibited by constilu- ■ tional amendment 4. We demand that, all legislation should be so enacted and so administered as to secure to each man, as nearly us practicable, thu just reward of his own labor; and we denounce ail lawlessness. i violence aud fraud that refuses submission to the will of the people honestly expressed through t.he ballot. 5. We denounce the red Hag communism imported from Europe, which asks for an equal division of property, and we denounce the communism of the national banks, of the bond syndicates, and of the consolidated railroad corporations, which have secured and are enforcing an unequal division of property, having already divided among themselves ten thousand millions of the pioperty of the people by corrupting the rapresentatives aud'servauts of the people. The one system of communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which have been planted by nature in the human family, and both systems are destructive of the rewards of toil and of the incentive to industry and 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 the powers that it can exert, limit and reduce the rate of interest so that it shall in no event exceed the average increase of wealth by productive industry. 7. We favor simple, plain and economical gov eminent, as few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced— as few officials as practicable, and,they held to a close accountability. To this end we demand the abolition of all useless offices, and the overthrow of the system by which offices are made ito vield almost princely fortunes, ft is the first duty ol the next general assembly ol Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossible for any local or State official to receive more than adequate pay tor his services; and when practicable the compensation should be fixed by a specific salary. 8. We denounce the conspiracy of the Democratic aud Republican leaders of Indiana to build a costly and magnificent state house, which, as exp.'lienee has proved in all similar cases, would result in the general plundering of the people. — We denounce tile action of the governor in 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 a contract to bind the people of the state, and we demand that no contract shall be let until the, voters of the state have had an opportunity to express their will upon the ■ subject through the legislature to be chosen iu October next. 9. We protest against the weak and ineffective election laws of Indiana, and we ask that the next legislature shall enuct statutes which shall secure fair elections in the state, and which shall provide ‘ severe and adequate punishment for fraudulent voters, and for those who bribe voters or procure fraudulent votes. 10. Wc denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment of the legislative and congressional districts of the state in the interest of the Republican party, and the equally unjust apportionments made in the past by the Democratic party, aud we pledge our members of the legislature to vole for a lair and equitable apportionment which shall secure n full and untrammeled expression of the sentiments of the people. 11. The State shall enact, laws which will abrogate the abuses and protect the interests of men who work iu mines, by providing for the proper ventilation of the mines; and the earnings of all employees of corporations should be a first lieu upon tiie property of said corporations. 12. If it wise and needful in 1897, when money was plenty and the country prosperous to enact a" bankrupt jaw. it is certainly humane now to amend such law so to prevent frauds and to continue in force this last escape of the oppressed debtor from the extortions of the money power And we favor the exemption of iiot less than worth of property to the householder from forced sale on execution. 13. The constitution should be so amended that the President, Vice-President and Senator.- of lite 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 an increase of the standing army, believing with Washington that "overgrown military establishments under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and particularly hostile to i epublican liberty.” 15. We indorse and reaffirm the platform of principles ncopted at Toledo. February 22.1878. and we | congratulate the country upon the union of the ' political interests subserving the useful ranks of I society, in one party which shall advance this decree to a higher and better civilization and this | olde-t gospel, that there shall be work for all and ■ that all Shall work.
