MEMOABLE WODS.

Lineoln’a Opinion f Hancock “.Some of the older general have said to me that he is rash, and l have •'‘aid to them that I have watched General Hancock's conduct very carefully, and l have found that when he goes into action he achieves his purpose and. romes out with a smaller list of casualties than any of them. If his life and health is spared I believe General Hancock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the aye." We have no reason to doitbt that THOSE WHO WORE THE GRAY WILL FTLSU.I. »U.

The n -xt Governor on the 28th.— Don’t fail to hear him. — Bob Ingersoll says the result in Muine is “Damned bad.” Grand Torchlight Procession of Hancock Legions in the evening. Messrs. Esau Hart and Jas. Pefley, of Remington, oalle 1 in to see us yesterday. —4+fr.* Saturday evening tho republicans hereabouts cheered tho fusion triumph in Maine. Good sign. The report that the DePauws of Now Albany had gone over to tho radicals is denied by them in a curd. T wenty-two Union Generals engaged canvassing Indiana for Hanoock. The bloody-shirt will have to rest. Mr. Williams, of Kentland, son inlaw of Mr. John Makeever, and family are visiting friends here this week. Albert G. Porter, the Republican candidate for Governor, when in Congress. voted against the legal-tender power of the Greenback. Hon. Frank Landers challenged his competitor, Hon. A. G. Porter, to meet him in joint discussion at this place next Tuesday, but he declined.

Road the : ‘DissectiOD of Garfield,” by Vice President Hendricks. It will be found on the first page of this Sentined. We invite.for it an attentive perusal. Before the election in Maine ’’Dirty Dog” Logan was asked how they expocted to carry that State? Ho reepended: ’’Buy it, by G—d!” But it was not for sale. Radicals still con tine the importa Eon of negroes into this State. Let Democrats everywhere throughout the State be on the alert. Permit no illegal votes to be cast. And now Biuino says the Republicans of Maine sold out. Heartless man, to go back on your followers in that style. Get down upon your knees before Mulligan, again. The Democratic meetings held throughout the county, and the sue cess attendihg the organization of Demoeractic Clubs, is very encouraging to the Democracy. Tho old meu aud the young are up and doing.

The Hancock Legion made a brilliant display at this place Monday evening. Every uniform was filledHad it been desired that all join in the procession, without reference to uniforms, the number in line would have been trippled. The Washington Post says: “One of the gratifying signs or the times is seen in the fact that, tho y»ung men of the country - those just comin on the stage of political action, arc. largely allying themselves with the Democratic party. The anxiety of tho Republican for the success of those only whore its patronage lay, was uncovered by us, and this week it lets go the sheriff and flies to the. help of its candidate for congress. Wonder if it thinks there’s u remote chance for the post office.

There are more than 1,000,000 more Democratic votes in the North than in the South. Tho vote of 1870 was as follows: Democratic voto in the South, - - - 1.014,100 Democratic vote North, - 2,071,400 Total, - - 4,280,500 Now taik “solid Wouth.” ludica tious point to a “solid North” for the Democracy. Union soldiors will bear in mind the principles for which they fought anp vote the vroy they sho:,--Monli-i f.-110 Herald There, now, Generals Slocum, Sig *l> Irwin, aud eighteen or tweoty other Union Generals distinguished in the late war, for Hancock & English, do you hear that v True, the Herald boys seen no service at the front, but they have performed faithful duty in tho post office for lo these many years, and hesitate to give it up.

Much ado has been made by Democrats ns to the number of voters in the ranks, last Saturday night. We are informed on good authority, that by actual count there were one hundred and fifty voters in the procession and are authorized by responsible parties to say. that if money is a consideration in tho matter, they are ready to substantiate their statement as the number above named.—Republican. Well, we counted them three times, give them credit with the highest number, with this result: Whole number, - 149 Boys, 56 Number of voters, 93 We accept our own authority, subetantiated by personal observation, over and above that of any other. Mr. Graham Morocco Courier, called in to see us this morning.

T he radical bosses are making great preparations for their rally, and judging from the efforts put forth they expect to be a success. Gen. Thomp* son is working with all his might, aud supervising arrangements generally. “Chief boss" of his party, in Jasper county, he cannot indulge the tho’t that he must lose his “grip” through the success of the opponents of his party.

It was certuinly cheering to the hearts of Democrats and Nationals last Saturday evening to witness the delight of tho radicals over the sue-' cess of fusion in Maine. To see po litical backsliders like the consul and the greenback join with such stalwarts as Gilman, Bishopp, General Thompson and the other 144 men and boys in loud huzzas over the discomfiture of Blaine wasasightnot to be seen more than once in a life time. Tiie radical papers keep this stand ing injthcir columns: “I vvili tell you whom I think the Republicans should nominate and whom I consider their strongest man ******* Genor d James A. Garfield, of Ohio.” Don, Thomas A. Hendricks, in May, 1880.” And now turn to tho first page of this Sentinel, and therojsee the correct estimate of “their strongest man” as expressed by Mr, Hendricks. Mr. H. permits Garfield to establish his own character; but for this he might be charged with playing a shabby trick upon tho opposition. And now, if lie is the “best” and “strongest man” in their party, what oan be said of their other aspirants.

W. W. Dudley, U. S. Marshal in this State, says Democrats throughout Indiana, reported to him by his parsun allies as not entitled to vote, are "spotted”, and will be arrested if they offer to east a ballot. We trust no Democrat will offer an illegal ballot’ At the same time let none who have a clear right be iutimidated by the threats of this creation of • fraud.— He will be shorn of his “little brief authority,’ on ths advent of Hancock’s administration. We will add that the anxiety of Dudley to Increase tho radical voting population of Indiana, induced many good Democrats over the State to proeure “little memorandum books,” like Oakeft Ames’, and they have enrolled the names of many of Dudley’s friends, ornamenting thorn with a spot, and the number of radical ’’spotted” characters far exceed those in the Democratic ranks.

From preparations made by the radicals for their torch-light parade no one supposed it would number less than 300 meu in line Saturday night, but to tho surprise of Democrats and mortification of the radicals, but 140 could be drummed out including 5G boys. After marching through some of the strsets und command of the chief of the Rensselaer Post Office Department, they were Drought to a halt in fiont of the Opera House, and addressed by Messrs. Gilman, Bishopp and Thompson.— The palaver of Gilman and Bishopp soon thinned out the audience. Mr. Thompson announced when the rally would come off, invited “all tho world and the rest of manking” to attend, informed them that handsome prizes and presents were in store for those who would b* ou and closed by asking if any one lmd heard from Maine?

The Way It Stands.

In the course of his remaks, at a Democratic meeting, Indianapolis, Thursday evening of last week, Hon. G. 11. Winfield, of New Jersey, read jrom the following table, showing the total Republican vote in 18C0, and also the number of soldiers in the Union army from States in which Republican votes were cast, as taken from the records of the War Department;

] Republi- No. of Namo of State. can voto. Soldiers California, 89.173 15,725 Connecticut, 43,092 57,379 Delaware, 3,815 13,070 Illinois, 172,101 259,147 Indiana, 139,033 * 197,147 lowa, 70,409 70,309 Kentucky, 1,364 79,025 Maine, 02,811 72,114 Maryland, 2.294 50,310 Massachusetts, 100,533 152,048 Michigan, 88,480 89,372 Minnesota, 22,009 25,052 Missouri, 17,028 199,111 Now Hampshire, 37,519 36.029 New Jersey, 58,324 81,010 New York, 302,840 467,047 Ohio, 231,010 319,059 Oregon, 5,270 1,810 Pennsylvania. 268,030 366,107 I Mi od* Island. 12,244 23,099 Vermont, 30,808 32,262 Virginia, 1,929 32,068 Wisconsin, 86,110 86,424

1 Totals, 1,866,3e2 2,078,967 More solders than Republicans, 812,615 * The records of the Adjutant General’s office of the State shows the number to be 208,367. If we take the strong Democratic States of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland. Missouri and Virginia we re capitulate the Republican vote and number of Union soldiers: Union Vote Soldiers. Delaware, 3,815 13,670 Kentucky, 1,304 79,025 Maryland, 2,294 50,316 Missouri, 17,028 199,111 Virginia, 1,929 31,068 Total, 26,430 374,190 This shows that a fraction over fourteen soldiers to every Republican vote were in tfre army of the Union from these States. These five States did not cast as many votes for the “truly loyal” as little Vermont by more than 7,000 votes; yet they sent Jo the war for the Uniou nearly as many soldiers as all tne New England States, including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New

Hampshire and Rhode Island, altho these States cast 296,607 Republican votes. The Rensselaer Schools have dismissed over to Wednesday morning of next week, Mrs. Mary Faltng, of Moutieelio. is visiting her sister Mrs. J. I. Purcupil*, at this place. Misses Ana and Frantrie McEwen are visiting old friends aud associates at Monticello this week. « John Kohler left, iu our office this morning a ladies’ light cloak. The owner cun get it by culling at this office. County Treasurer Adams informs us that he expects orders iu a few days to comuenee the collection of the railroad taxes. The New York Evening Post says the “bloody-shirt programme, and the assessment of Government workingmen won’t win, and demauds a change by the radical managers. On the 21st a National Greenback State Convention was held in Maine and the action of the Democratic Sta’e (.'■ n volition in the selection of a Union Electoral Ticket was indorsed by that body. The Republicans made great exertions to prevent it .ut inglorious!} failed.

Several of our citizens areattendidg the Loganspoit und Rensselaer Fairs this week. Sheriff Robinson of your place was ia town Tuesday. The posteis are up for the Soldiers’ Reunion, October sth and Gth. It promises to be the best Reunion nay held iu the State this season. The Catholic fair closed on Friday evening. There were more presen than ever before assembled in Ex change Hall on any one evening. Tho tcaools commenced here last Monday under the management of an accomplished corps of lady teachers, viz: Miss Bollcs, Mrs. Sternes, Miss Nelson, and Miss Blood. Everything moves off nicely and with a good attendance. The Repablicansmade a big noise Saturday in getting ready for the atGoodland. Capt. Burnham made a very interesting speech at Exchange Hall, Sat’ urday evening. The Republicans, many of them, are admitting that it was one of their grand mistakes iu nominating for Sheriff a man so weak at home.— Some say he nominated liimse f, and was not the ehoieoof the leading Republicans. “No use fretting,” Nickell will be the next Sheriff.

GARFIELD & THE GREAT FRAUD

Mr. Hendricks’ Terrible Indictment Against Garfield : New York Siui.j We have published Mr. Hendricks’ speech at Indianapolis uuon Garfield'*, connection with the Great Fraud. No indictment so terrible was ever framed against a man in Garfieid.s position, and yet every count in it was sustained by testimony out of the mouth of the accused himself. The local Republican newspaper had peremptorily denied the facts as they had been stated iu a previous speech of Mr. Hendricks, and admitted that, if they could be proved, Garfield “ wo’d be disgraced.” They are now proved —proved easily aud overwhelmingly by citations from the official record ol Garfield’s testimony, revised and signed by himseif, and put beyond contradiction by the most reckless or the most ingenious of partisans. And wlnit are the facts? When it became known in IS7G that the people ot Louisiana lmd chosen fie Tilden electors by ,8,0.10 majority. Garfield was selected with others, to go to Now Orleans, and induce the Returning Board to throw out the Tilden majority, and falsely certify the election of the Hayes licket. The work

was divided among lliom. West Feliciana was assigned to Gallied. It wws the most difficult job of all. For eighteen days he sat in an “inner room” of the Custom House manipulating evidence, tampering with negro witnesses aud writing "out interrogatories to be propounded to them by Madison Wells of the Returning Board. The other visiting siatestnen were engaged at the same business, and when the mass of perjuries and forgeries was completed they left Louisiana assured that the Board would complete the crime, aud certify tho election of the defeated candidates. Atßellaire, Ohio, on their way to Washington, they recaived a dispatch that tho worn was done, and that so far us that State was concerned the conspiracy against the Presidency was successful. .When the electoral bill was under

discus»|on in the House, Garfield freely declared his opinion that under its provisions the judges would be comi polled by their oaths lo go behind the certificates of the Returning Hoards to ascertain and declare the truth. Yet when, as a member of the Commission, he had taken a special and solemn oath to render a ‘‘true judgment,” he voted every time with the infamous eight, not to examine, not to look at the evidence of fraud, not to go behind the false certificates, not to disturb the work or his own hands daring those eighteen davs of secret labor with witnesses in Packard’s inner room of the New Orleans Custom House. Here was the manufacturer of the evidence sitting as a judge in-the very case he bad himself made up, and repudiating his own interpretation of the law to save the fraud which lie had himself fabricated. This is the true account of Garfield as a visiting statesman and member of the Commission, which Mr. Hendricks draws from the record, and substantiates by Gaifield’s own testimony. He might have added that, when the decisions of the Commission wore imperiled by the refusal ot the SouthBin Representatives to goon with the fraudulent count, this honorable Judge crawled down from the bench ihto midnight conferences,as the spe- ! cial agent of one of the parties be- I fore his Court, and there made a corrupt compact, by which Packard, the man who lent him the “inner room.”, and the whole Republican party of j Louisiana were basely betrayed and 1 surrendered to their enemies. Such was his judicial honor, and such his I personal gratitude!

A DEMOCRAT.

131 HI LANDERS, The next Governor of the State of Indiana, and in. IF Carey, of Ohio, Mon. T. J. Wood, Lake Co., Will address the citizens of Jasper and adjacent count ies at HSMSSISI.AISII TUESDAY, SEPT. 28,1880, in the afternoon. His competitor, Hon. Albert G Porter, is respectfully challenged to participate in joint discussion at the above time and place.

CoL isk S. Hum, Will address the people at Rensselaer, Sept 24,1880. At 7;30 in the evening.

12. The Democratic parry it- the friend of labor and tlu- laburiugmuii, and pledges itself to protect him. alike against the cormorants and the Com. mane. . 18. We congratulate the country npon the honest* and thrill of a Democratic Congress, which has red need the public expenditure $40,000.. <XV) a y ar; upon the continuance of prosperity at home and the National honor abroad, and, above ail, upon the promise of auch a change in the admini-iration-of the government as shall insure a genuine and lasting reform in every department of the public service.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

1. W e. the Democracy of Indiana, in Delegate Convention assembled, congratulate the Democracy ol th,» country upon tlie harmony prevailing wtihin its organization, and upon its unanimity ni ino purposes to cast behind it every eccaaiou ai a scui inient of discord, audto stand as otie man be success in 1880; and we give assurance to the > •r.i-ieracv o.f the country that, accepting the decollation of principles, and purposes, that may oe made at Cincinnati, and the candidates who may be there chosen, vve will give to them our earnest and undivided support. 2. \\ e believe that laws should be enacted,executed ai.d administered only for the public good, and all class legislation, and all favoritism in the atiairs of Covernment, should be defeated and made odious; that taxes sliould be levied justly, Mid the most rigid economy should control public expenditures: that the elections must be freed trum the control ol the army, and of partisan officials. in tha: they shall be i'airand honest ns they once were; that the rightful jurisdiction of the State Courts must lie restored, in all eases where it has been usurped by the Federal authority, so that justice may lie administered cheaply" and speedily. 8. The coin and paper money of the country should be ol uniiorm value, and readily convurtib .i. and should have as great purchasing power a-- t.ir mom y of otlicr lirst class commercial i Mini i :r-. of ; lie world, and the paper money, like ti.i coin, should be furnished by the United States, i .-I shou,-.1 not lie in excess of. such quantitv as '' til >e, and remain always, at par with coin. . iMi.-nun : as the outstanding Treasury notes ■■ - u-poh:;cT necessary to the Government in the ‘ -e oi its credit, and are useful only as money, ’.v siiou'd he made subject to taxation, the same a other money. A - tax payers, we declare our gratification at t" i action **l the Democratic members of Con's .ii reducing public expenditure, and in cut- . oil the allowance anil payment of questiona- ■ 1 ' M‘ l! iraudulent claims, resulting in a saving to t»ie Treasury of more than §100,00(1,000. 5. \\ e will stand with all our might against the • Agression of the Republican leaders upon the r hi. oi the IStates. made lor the purpose of building up a strong central power, dangerous to the liberty of the people. We x.-ill in all fidelity maintain the Constitut tonal rights and powers of the United States, and :is faithfully we will maintain and vindicate the lights ol the States as reserved to them in the Con stitution. 0. The Legislature of 1879 is entitled to honorable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 1876 to provide by law for the comfort and safety of laborers in tho mines, and for securing their wages to the persons «t.ployed by corporations, and we are in favor of such further legislation in the premises as may be necessary nnd proper. We congratulate the people of the State that by the action of the Democrats of the last Legisla

turn in basing representation on population and contiguity of territory only, the shame and taint ot frand have been removed from the apportionment of representation, and that now the people will be equally and fairly represented. 7. The people of Indians are justly proud of their system of free schools, and will maintain them in their fui! force and usefulness, and to that end we must see to it that the management thereof does not become wasteful or extravagant, and that no part of the munificent fond which they have provided shall be used for sectarian or for any other purposes whatever than the support of common schools • 8. We arc gratified that the Democrats tn Congress have acted in respect to bounties and pen sions forsoldics and their families in the spirit of justice and liberality. 9. We hold up to public detestation the conduct of the leaders in the Republican party in placing Hayes and Wheeler, by criminal practices shocking to every honest sentiment and damaging to our institutions, in offices to which they were not 1 ected. It was nnoutrage upon free'government, and a crime against the elective franchise that cannot be forgiven, and must not be repeated,and i for which the guilty parties must be driven from power and consigned to infamy. And we hold up to tie conduct of the Presi- ■ dent in rewarding the gniltv parties by conferring upon them high and lucrative offices. To reward I crime is itself criminal. i Hi. During the past few yesrs our country has been blessed in a nigh degree with favormbla seae- | oils, 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 more than we have purchased from them; gold and silver has coma to us; business confidence has been restored, and wa have the hope and promise of good times again. In all this we recopßze the biosslng of God upon our country, and wc denounce it as false and blasphemous when partisan leaders claim that this is the work of their hands, and that the people should be thankful to them and not grateful to Heaven lor our returning piosperitv. 11. We approve the sentiment expressed by Goyernor llcndricks in his letter of acceptance in 1876, rhat “the iniquitous coolie system which, through the agency of wealthy com panics imports Chinese bondsmen, establishes a species ot slavery, and interferes with the just reward of labor on our Pacific Coast, should be utterly abolished.” 12. Our State administration is entitled to the respoct and support of the people. The governmen‘ of Indiana is efficiently administered, and more cheaply than that of any other State. 18. That we recognize the right of colored citi" zens as well as white to immigrate into Indiana* hut we condemn and denounce the action of the Republican party in importing into this Stato pauper negroes for the sole purpose of using them as voters. 14. We hereby insaruct our delegates Jo 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 of Democratic truth nnd justice acceptably to tho Democracy of the whole Union, thus assuring the election of a Democratic Legislature nnd United States Senator in 1881. and a fresh, pure and con stitntional administration of the General Government. 15. We favor the continuance of the two-thirds rule in the National Convention, nnd the dele gates this day chosen are hereby instructed to vote for Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks asotir candidate for the Presidoncy, and to vote as a unit on all questions in said Convention.

The greatest discovery of our day, so far ns a large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLfNE. an article prepared f" mi peiroic-um, 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 se--ciires a luxuriant growth <>f hai r , it aLo brings back, the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The failing out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, arid the prematura change in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of tlie scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and tlie change must begin under the >c d/i to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CARBOLINE, and, like to mv otln-i wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of mu nts almost, in their natural state. , Petroleum od is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results 5 but it is after it has been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that tho effect of petroleum upon the hair u as first observed, a Government officer having 1 • tic.-d that a partially bald-headed servant of bis. when trimming the lamps, had a habit of wiping his oii-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a much finer head of black, glossy halt than lie ever had before The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from tho cattle plague, aud 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 tlie world, but the knowledge was mcy. tically useless to pie prematurely lta’.ii .1 t v, as no one in civilized society cub.! t i -r.tie t' l U'e of refined petroleum-.- ib. •- 1.
