DEMOCRATIC TICKET

For Governor —Frank Landers, of Marion comity? For Lieutenant Governor —Isaac P. Gray, of Randolph county. For Secretary of State —John G. Shanklin, of Vanderburg county. For Auditor of State—Mahlon D. Manson, of Montgomery county. For Treasurer William Fleming, of Allen county. For Clerk of the Supreme Court - Gabriel Schmuck, of Perry county. For Reporter of the Supreme Court —A. N. Martin, of Wells county. For Sup’t of Public Instruction — A. (’. Goodwin, of Floyd county. For Judges of'the Supreme Court —James Mitc’ ell. of Elkhart county; John T. Scott, of Vigo county. For Attorney Generol —T. W. Woollen, of Johnson county. And his name is Siknner. Owing to which fact there will not be such a squabble, as has been anticipated, in the radical convention at Logansport, next Tuesday. The nominee of which will be taken in charge by a regular “Skinner”, and undergo a process of skinning by a master hand. The job will be done neat, complete and with dispatch.

Brp. James didn’t make the riffle for Secretary of State. Hon. A. G. Porter, of Marion conn ty, is the radical nominee for Governor. The Republican make no reference whatever to the Grand Garfield Ratification fizzle. Democratic National Convention at Cincinnati next Tuesday, at which time and place the next President and Vice President of the U. S. will be nominated. When Oakes Ames, with bis little book, was planting Credit Mobelier stock, he found in James A. Garfield a lot where it could be put to do the most good, and he sowed $5,000 in James A.’s pockets. —« The Democratic Congress passed an appropriation bill amply providing for the needs of the Government. The Fraud vetoed it, and if supplies are shut off, he and his party through him tire to blame.

“Joy” reveled in the household of Blaine at the beginning, but in the end was transformed into a JAGarlield, full of Credit Mobilier and Union Pacific Stocks, De Golyer paving stones, and noxious weeds generally.

On receipt of information of Mr. Skinner’s nomination, Wednesday evening, our neighbor doubled himself up “and hied him to his little bed.” Cholera morbus, colic, cholera infantum, or something. Better today, with alao.r of sad,calm resignation stamped upon his countenance, and a determination to face the inevitable with all the grace and courage he can pick up.

It’s real jolly to note the course of the republicans of our native State, Pennsylvania, training to the music of Free Trade leaders. It’s a hopeful sign to the country that the Keystone radicals have doffed their protective (?) short clothes and donned a full suit of Tariff Reform. There’s hope for the old State yet, so long given over to the domination of negroes and adventurers.

The announcement of Skinner’s nomination was received by Democrats hereabouts with unconcealed gratification und the liveliest satisfaction. Republicans would give vent to their feelings ot dissatisfaction and disappointment with a sullen croak of “crow.” But. so far as we could ascertain, our neighbor across the hall was the only one who exhibited violent symptoms which follows a feast on “crow.”

There was a time when Washington City was infected with an ambition to pave her streets. James A. Garfield was then, as now, a member of Congress. “Boss” Shepherd was the king bee in the rotten hive of the capital’s corruptionists. Garfield was at the head of the Appropriation Committee. Boss Shepherd saw a good thing for himself if he could get Congressional support, in the De Golyer paving system. It only took $5,000 to fix James A. Garfield, and the Boss had his Congressional support. Garfield had been a preacher, and so much the better. The De Golyer went through. The Boss made his pile and Garfield had $5,000 for his share’ The Chicago convention was certainly unfortunate in its selection of a “dark horse.” He has “too much record."

The New York Herald defines the recent radical platform adopted by the Chicago Convention, to be as “Nearly Nothing as possible,” and says: The motive which controlled the composition of the Chicago platform was frankly avowed by Mr. Pterrepont in the speech with which he ac companied its presentment, when he said that the committee had developed a great diversity of opinions among themselves about suitable recommendations of a policy for the Republican party and thcrefoie had put as nearly nothing into their resolutions as was practicable. The New York Times (radical) declares it incomplete, inane, impertinent, and adds: It is a great pity that the national convention of the Republican party should have put out a declaration of principles and opinions and purposes, with one exception, so incomplete, so weakly framed and so jumbled with matters of impertinence or slight importance.

POLITICAL SCINTILLATIONS

The Chicago Convention, like every other event of more or less moment, wa.‘|and remains a topic for study, rather reflection, and was not without lessons to be analyzed, and made to point a moral, especially when its/nZeis lolled. The imperious Conkling, who led the distanced host that rallied and stood with such fidelity to the man on horseback, ehallenP ed the admiration of his foes as warmly as he held the confidence of his friends. The swarthy Logan, who in practice damns “them d—u literary fellers” as vigorously and -incerely as Pennsylvania’s Winnebago chieftain does in phrase, never cowered in the darkest hour of the conflict. D n Cameron— sardonic, sly Don — stood io bis guns and followed the tr d! of his ambition with the fidditv of the sleuth Mat. Car pe iter hadn’t the mettle to bear h s compatriots company to the deadly brea ;h, and Arab like, folded his tent and got him back to Washington. Robeson, the man of large promises and larger pilfering*, never faced the battle. For the first three, the “Senatorial Syndicate,” there are victories, which will pale the ephemeral tri imph of their foes a* Chicago. Tile party that calls itself republican, and travesties its profession in it s practice, can’t live without “Bosses,” and now, having struck down all it had worth keeping, it is at sea with an amateur pilot and a shaky helms-

man. A word hero of Blaine, the “idol” of the corporations, who had him chattered to rule in their favor when lie played Speaker of the House: The “republican” party were not indifferent to his claim on their favor by hose rulings, and if they could have afforded it would have added the-no-mination for President as a bonus to the cash price they paid him for them. They were not ungrateful, for once, but they were “looking ahead.” in contemplation of retaining executive power, and the history of these rulings and Blaino-’s ready aequieseuce‘ in making them, in some mysterious way “got out” and become public property. They didn’t believe that the “magnetism” with which ho is personally credited was strong on ough to snow that ugly fact under, If that part of his record had escaped the vigilance of acute reporters it is even possible that Conkling, would have condoned the indignity of Blaine posting him as a “strutting turkey cock,” and opposed no serious obstacles to his success at Chicago.— Bitline, when sifted, is at best a mere charlatan. He has been on every side of every issue that has excited public thought, all to make him “all tilings to all men.” We imagine that he has met his Waterloo, for ho possesses no such tangible qualities as fit him for the discharge of any public trust. Certainly he is nor, a man to confide in . in any position where his personal ambition could in any possible manner be brought in contact with the public interest. He is, or should bo a “dead duck,” and bis feathers are too much soiled with corruption to allow him ever again to enter into serious consideration for a term in the White House.

The Republican Candidate for Vice President

New York Sun. Two years ago Chestei A. Arthur was removed ly Hayes and Sherman from the office of Collector of the Port of New York, on the direct charge

of Ineficiency, with the implied charge of dishonesty. In his message to the Senate of January 31. 1879, Mr. Hayes said: With my information of the facts in the case, and with a deep sense of the responsible obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution, to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” I regard it as my plain duty to snspen : the officers in question, and to make the nominations now before the Senate, in order that this important office may be honestly and efficiently administered. In order that the custom laws might be faithfully executed, Mr Hayes found himself compelled, by a deep sense of duty, to remove Chester A. Arthur. In order that the Custom House might be efficiently managed, Mr. Hayes regarded it as his plain duty to remove Chester A. Arthur.

In order that the office might be honestly administered, he felt obliged to remove Chester A. Aithur. In Mr. Hayes’ view, the then Collector of the Port of New York was neither a faithful, a competent, nor|an honest officer of the Government. What was John Sherman’s opinion of General Arthur at that time? In a letter to Hayes, dated January 28, 1879, Mr. Sherman said: “If, to secure the removal of an officer, it is necessary to establish the actual commission of a crime by proofs demanded in a court of justice, then it is clear that the case against Mr. Arthur is not made out, especially if his answer is held to be conclusive, without reference to the proofs on the public records and tendered to the Committee and the Senate. But if it is to be held that, to procure the removal of Mr. Arthur, it is sufficient to reasonably establish that gross abuses of administration have continued and increased during his incumbency; that many persons have been paid on his rolls who rendered little or no service; that the expenses of his office have increased, while collections were diminishing; that bribes, or gratuities in the nature of bribes, have been received by his subordinates in several branches of tlie Custom House; that efforts to correct»these abuses have not met his support, and that ho has not given to ths duties of the office the requisite diligence and attention, then it is submitted that the case is made out. This form of proof tne Department is prepared to submit.” In short, John Sherman claimed to have proof in his possession that Chester A. Arthur was either a fool, incapable of watching the thieves whom he cherished in his office, or a rascal who winked at. their crimes.— Indeed, he plainly insinuated that no. tiling except the actual legal evidence of Arthur’s criminality was wanting to put that official into prison instead of into retirement.

What a gratification it must be to General Arthur and to his many warm Mends to find this very same John Sherman, and Rutherford B. Hayes now supporting him for Vice President of the United States. The Cincinnati Enquirer thus refers to the result of the. labors of the Chicago radical Convention; * * * The convention had gotten itself into such a condition that it could not name a candidate who could be elected, and the beaten candidates are alone to be congratulated, Garfield is nominated, but doomed to defeat. We shall recall none of the disagreeable things we have said about hili, and shall wage no personal warfare upon him during the campaign ; but we have said nothing which forbids us now to say that nis public record cannot endure the daylight or bear the scrutiny of a campaign. Apart from transactions connected with the public business, which do not become an honorable, lofty, public man, his attitude upon important public questions has guaranteed his defeat. He was nominated in the hope of holding a state never lost to the republican party in a national election. This was his only claim. His position upon the silver question and the currency questions will forbid his carrying Indiana, and his position upon the Chinese question will probably give the States of the Pacific slope to the democracy, Garfield op posed the anti-C’binesc bill in the forty-fifth congress, and voted to sustain the president’s veto- of it. He had previously opposed an amendment to a bill as follows: “That no Chinese or coolie labor shall be so employed as to displace white labor ” This, with the laboring men of the Pacific coast, and elsewhere, will be sufficient. After the Chicago fight Garfield cannot expect to carry New York or the outlying states of Con necticut and New Jersey, nor can he hope to carry any southern state.

COLFAX ON GARFIELD

A Dramatic Effect Produced by a Reference to Credit Mobilier (Philadelphia 'rimes.) Schuyler Colfax, looking fifteen years older than at the time of his retirement into private life, eight years ago, stepped up on the portico of the Pennsylvania Military Academy at Chester, yesterday evening. The query as to how he regarded the choice of the Chicago Convention elicited the reply: . “I think fieneral Garfield’s nomination a fortunate one. He has had none of that antagonism which has grown up between either of the leading candidates. It secures one of very superior talents and thoroughly familiar with public affairs, a gallant soldier and eminent statesman.” “Do you think he will be elected? “I anticipate an exciting campaign anil a close election,” said Mr. Coifax, hesitatingly, “but I hope and believe he will be triumphantly successful.” “What do j ou think of the 'tail end’ of the ticket?” “General Arthur will strengthen the ticket in New York,' was the reply, which lacked warmth. “Will Mr. Garfield’s attitude on the tariff question affect his canvass?” '“General Garfield represents a tariff district and is supposed to be a tariff man.” A suggestion as to the future of the Democracy inspired the sentiment: “I hope the Democrats will present Mr. Tilden; he needs vindication before the public.” A final query: “How will the Credit Mobilier charges against Mr. Garfield operate?” gave a dramatic turn to the interview. Its effect on Mr. Colfax was electric. He sprang up from the bench on which he was seated with a movement that startled his interrogator, and said, hastily: “I don’t know anything about that. Mr. Garfield will have to look out for himself,-as well as any other man. I

Chairman

don’t want to talk about it and have no time.” Mr. Colfax had turned his back even before he finished the sentence.

“Will the action lie?” inquires the anxious client. “Yes,” replies the facetious attorney, “the action will lie if the witnesses will-” Toothache Drops.— One ounce of alcohol, two drachms of cayenne, one ounce of ken-sene oil; let it stand twentyfour hours after mixing. It cures the worst case of toothache. Ringworms. —Make a curd bv mixing alum and the white ot an egg over a fire until it is the consistency of pomatum ; spread over the ring-worm. One or two applications should effect a cure. A little boy, watching the burning of the schoolhouse until the novelty of the thing had ceased, started down the street, saying: “I’m glad the old thing’s burned down ; I didn’t'have my jogtry lesson, no how.” »; A little five-year-old boy. who had sen a peacock for the first time, ran into the house, exclaiming t<> his sister: *O, Lizzie! I’ve seen a great, great monstiferotis tail walking around with alien tied to it!” It is said that Gov. Andrews, of Connecticut, has appointed a State detective t > make a further effort to solve the mystery of the murder of Mary Stannard, for which the Rev. 11. H.” Hayden was tried. William Zollinger, a tin roofer, was recently found drunk and asleep in the streets of New York, with §12,000. in bank notes In his pocket. He was locked up, and during the night hanged himself in his cell, maxing a noo.«e of an armhole of his vest. Sowing Walntuts and Hickories —There are many persons desirous of raising seedlings of walnuts and other hard-shelled seeds, who fail and wonder why thev Gil. The fault is often their own. It is the practice of many to keep such seeds on the barn floor or dry in barrels through the winter, sowing them in the spring. Now we all know that seeds of the ktnd mentioned must erack open before they grow, and some know that it is the moisture that does this cracking Moisture, then, is what these seeds want, more or less. Some have thought that it is the fiost that cracks open the shells, but frost is an injury rather than otherwise, tending to dry put the shells, the opposite of which is desired. It is well to put hard-shelled seeds in the ground in the fall, or keep them in a damp place through the winter, and then sow in the spring, but where neither of these things have been done, and the sowing is desired, they will grow very well the coming season if put into cold water until they have become thoroughly soaked. Thus treated the nuts will take up in a few days as much moisture as they would have done had they been in the ground all winter and this is all they want to make them crack their shells and grow. When it is not forgotten that moisture is the essential, seedling raising becomes much less of a mystery.

The following facts will be found interesting to farmers to peruse:— Measure 209 feet on each side, and you will have a square acre within an inch; an acre contains 4,800 square yards; a square mille contains 640 acres: a mile is 5,280 feet, or 1,750 yds. in length; a fathom is 6 feet; a league is three miles; a Sabbath Day’s journey is 1,155 yards (this is eighteen yards less than two thirds of a mile); a day’s journey is thirty-three and one-eighth miles; a cubic is two feet: a great cu ie is eleven feet; a hand (horse measure) is four inches; a palm is three inches; a span is ten and seven-eights inches; a pace is three feet; a bariel of flour weighs 196 pounds; a barrel of pork weighs 200 pounds; a firkin Qf butter weighs fifty six pounds; a -tub of butter Expounds.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

1. We. the Democracy of Indiana, in Delegate Convention „sscinbled, congratulate the Democracy of tha country upon the harmony prevailing within its organization, and upon its unanimity in the purposes to cast behind it every occasion and sentiment of discord, and to stand as one man for success in 1880; and we give assurance to the Democracy of the country that, accepting the declaration of principles, and purposes, that may be made at Cincinnati, and the candidates who may be there chosen; we will give to them our earnest and undivided support. 2. We believe that laws should be enacted, executed and administered only for the public good, and all class legislation, and all favoritism m the affairs of Government, should be defeated and made odious: that taxes should be levied justly, affd the most rigid economy should control public expenditures: that the elections must be treed from the control of the army, and of partisan officials, in that they shall be fair and honest as they once were; that the rigbtitll jurisdiction of the State Courts must be restored, in all ca<es where it lias been usurped by the Federal authority, so that justice may be administered cheaply an>. speedily. 3. The coiu and paner money of the tountr should be of uniform value, and readily converti - ble, and should hate as great purchasing power as the money of other first class commercial countries of the world, and the paper money, like the coin, should be furnished by the I nited States, aud should not be in excess of such quantity as will be, and remain always, ut par with coin. •J. Inasmuch as the outstanding Treasury notes are no longer necessary to the Government in the use of its credit, and are useful only as money, they should be made subject to taxation, the same as other money. As tax payers, we declare our gratification at the action of the Democratic members of Congress in reducing public expenditure, and in cutting oil the allowance ai d payment of questionable and fraudulent claims, resulting in a saving to the Treasury of more than $100,000,000. 5. We will stand with all our might against the aggression of the Uepubl'cnn lenders upon the rights of the States, made for the purpose ot building up a strong central power, dangerous to the Hourly of the people. . . , We will iu all fidelity maintain the Constitutional rights and powers of the Uniti d 8 ates, and us faithfully we will maintain and vindicate the rights of tile States as reserved to them in the Con stitutioii. ... , ti. The Legislature of 1879 is entitled <o honorable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 187 ti to provide by law for tne comfortand safety of laborers in the mines, and for securing their wages to the persons employe 1 by corporations, aud we are m invor of such further legislation in the premises as may be necessary and proper. We congratulate the people ol the State that by the action of the Democrats of the last Legislature in basing representation on population and contiguity ol territory only, the shame and taint ol fraud have been removed from the apportionment of representation, and that now the people will be equally and fairly represented. 7. The people of Indiana are justly proud of their system of tree schools, and will maintain them iu their fill! f >rce and usefulness, and to that end we must see to it that the management thereof does not become wasteful or extravagant, and, rhat no part of the munificent fund which they have provided shall be used for sectarian or for any other purposes whatever than the support of common schools. . 8. We are giatiticd that the Democrats in Congress have acted in respect to bounties and pensions for soldies and their families in the spirit of justice aud liberality. 9. We hold up to public detestation the conduct of the lenders in the Republican party in placing Hayes aud Wheeler, by criminal practices shocking to every honest sentiment, and damaging to our institutions, in offices to which they were not el rcted. It was an outrage upon free'government, and a crime against the el-ctive franchise that can not be forgiven, and must not be repealed, and for which the guilty parties must be driven from power aud consigned to n imy. And we hold up to public, detestation t e conduct of the President in rewarding the guilty parties by conferring upon them high and luciative offices. To reward crime is itseli criminal., 10. During the past few years our country has been blessed in a High degree with favorable seasons, and the production of our valuable staples has been enormously in excess of our own consumption. We have sold, to foreign countries many hundred millions m< r ■ than we have purchased from them; gold and silver has come to us; business confidence lias been restored, and we have the hope and promise of good times again. In ail this we recognize the blessing of God upon our country, and we denounce it as false and blasphemous when partisan leaders chum that this is the work of their hands, and that the people should be thankful to them and not grateful to Heaven for our returning piosperity. IL We approve the sentiment expressed by Governor Hendricks in bis letterof acceptance in 18 T>, rhat “the iniquitous coolie system whieh, through the agency of wealthy companies imports Chinese bondsmen, establishes a species of slavery and interferes with the just rewi rd ol labor on our Pacific Coast, should be utterly abolished. 12. Our State administration is en i ied to the respect and support of the peop'e. Tne governme‘i* of Indiana is < fli lently administered, and more chcupiv than thutof any other Slate. 13 That we recognize the right of colored citizens as well as white to immigrate into Indiana, but we condemn and denounce the action of the Republican partv in importing into this State pauper negroes lor the sole ptuposeof using them llS l4° We herebv insaruct our delegates to the National Convention at Cincinnati to present to that body the name of Thomas A. Hendricks as a candidate for President of the United States, one who has at all times faithfully maintained the cause ot Democratic truth and justice acceptably to tne Democracy Of the whole Union, thus assuring the election of a Democratic Legislature and Lmtea States Senator in 1881, and a fresh, pure and constitutional administration of the General Government. ■ , , ... . 15. We favor the continuance of the two-thirds rule in the Natio al Convention, and the dele oates this day chosen are hereby instructed to vote for Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks as our candidate for the Presidency, and to vote as a unit on all quodi'.'iis in said Convention.

A Deodorized extract of Petroleum, The Only Article that Will Restore Hair on Bald Heads. What the World has been Wanting for Centuries. The greatest discovery of our day, so far as a large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radical cure in case of baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out. It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use secures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin tinder the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CARBOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost in their natural state. Petroleum oil is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but it is after it has been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition fortlie toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the world, but the knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by a process known only to himself, he has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous eau de cologne. The experiments with the deodorized liquid on the human hair were attended with the most astonishing results/? A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on the first or second dressing, and the liquid bo searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious operation of nature, the use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the hair whieh by continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length of time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial, feeling satisfied that one application will convince them of its wonderful effects.— Commercial of Oct. 22, 1877. The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging results : W. H. Brill & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upward of twenty years, but have never had one to sell as well or give such universal satisfaction. We therefore recommend it with confidence to our friends and the general public.” Mr. Gustavus F. Hall, of the Oates Opera Troupe, writes: “ After six weeks’ use lam convinced, as are also my comrades, that your ‘Carboline’ has and is producing a wonderful growth of hair where I had none for years.” C. H. Smith, of the Jennie Hight Combination, writes: “ After using your ‘ Carboline’ three weeks I am convinced that bald headscan be ‘re-haired.’ It’s simply wonderful in my case.” B. F. Arthur, chemist, Holyoke, Mass., writes: “ Your ‘ Carboline’ has restored my hair after everything else had failed.” * Joseph E. Pond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro,' Mass., writes : For more than 20 years a portion of my head has been as smooth and free from hair as a billiard ball, bu't some eight weeks ago I was induced to try your Carboline, and the effect has been simply wonderful. Where no hair has been seen for years there now appears a thick growth, and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It is growing now nearly as rapidly as hair does after it is cut. CARBOLINE Is now presented to the public without fear of contradiction as the best Restorative and Beautifler of the Hair the world has ever produced. Price, ONE DOLLAR per bottle.
