“SBW^ CALL-COMMITTEE MEETING. Headquarters Democratic Cen- ) tral Committee of Jasper, County, Indiana. ' Rensselaer Ind., May IC, 1884. To all the members of the Democrat ic Central C ommittee of Jasper Ceuntv, Inainna: You are reauested to m •-'t at. the Committee Rooms, in Rensselaer, on SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1821, for the purpose of consultation, and the transaction of business of importance. Let every member feel it his duty to work for the advancement of Democratic principles, and fail not to be present on the 31si. EZRA C. NOWELS, Chairman jlmks W. Douihit. Sec’y.

Gentle George sadly weepeth over the fate of Peelle. It is an affecting sight to see a strong man weep. Butler, of Massachusetts, for Presdent, and West, of Mississippi, for Vice President, is the ticket placed i j nomination by the National party, at Indianapolis, yesterday. ISix Democrats were unseated by the last Republican Ctngress. whose major.ties ranged up in the thousands. I’eello voted to unseal every one of *hem. He now knows how it is bimseif. Peelle’s majority was only eightyseven, procured through fraudulent agencies and the use of illegal spring** back tickets. Peelle was made to spring-back to Indianapolis the other day. A lew healthyjexamples may result in impressing these political knaves the fact that “hone ty is the best policy.” The Wall street gamblers, backed wit h the prayers of Rev. Henry Ward Tilton Beecher, have resolved that the interests of the country demand the selection of Arthur ior President A howl from that den ol iniquity, In favor of a Presidential candidate, should excite the suspicion and incur the opposition of every honest man. The system of pensioning the households of the crowded heads,and the so-called nobility, of Europe, when spoken of never fails to call forth denunciations fierce and bitter. Why should not the payment of tri bute to the monopolisms ai_d money lords of this country, from tariff taxation and through uutaxed bonds, call forth from the lolling millions condemnation, loud and deep? We fail to see any difference in the result of the systems. The brawny** handed toilers of both continents supply the tribute money.

The men m i<i<* millionaires by vbe legislation of the 1 ad.cal party resin dents of New York city, recently issued a manifesto in the interest of C. A. Arthur, announcing that tl e business interests of the country required his nomination and election. As the toiling millions are men of good judgment, and handle the votes, they will undoubtedly determine the mutter in the interest and well-being of the many as against the few, and give the recommendation of these nation, al paupers ihe grand bounce. Last week the Rensselaer Republis can published an article abounding in malicious lies against our congressman, Hon. T. J. Wood, calculate ed to create the impression that Tom is a consummate fool. This week, however gentle Geo.go changes his taotics, at diotation from headquarteis, and says that Wood is ’’really a man of much higher education and greater natural abilities than he usu ally gets credit for,” but that “he is a subtle, scheming, funning demat gogue of the rankest type.” No doubt our Tom will feel bau over this tirade. The Republican now s. ys the nomination of “Blaine, the brilliant, the eloquent and the magnetic,” is not likely to be made. The Republican should have added in his praise the fact the he was always “sun-strucn” when wanted by his investigation committee, and that he was furthermore the atdent, admiring and devoted friend of Mr. Mulligan,

The WoolgTOwers’ Convention, recently met in Chicago, resolved that they would not support any party or political candidate until it or he had cleat ly defined its or his position in favor of the restoration of the tariff on wool. Now let every consumer, opposed to the payment of the tribute money demanded, resort to the same tactics, resolve and refuse to support any party or candidate that is in favor of any such proposition. John Ovprmeycr, Chairman of the Republican S ate Central Committee, recently issued a private circalar from which we make the following extract: “Li*ts should be made out in every precinct of these who now take no paper, and who ought to read one. Our Postmasters will aid cur Precinct Committeemen to make up these lists. Republican office-holders and influen ial and active Republicans generally will contribute freely to pay for these papers. ” Let Democrats do likewise.

CHILOOTE A CANDIDATE

It may now be announced as s settled fact that the name of Capt M. F Chilcote will be presented to the approaching Republican convention, of the Tbiitieth judicial circuit, as a candidate for Circuit judge. In this case the expression, “he has yielded to the solicitation of friends, and consented to become a candidate” is strietly true, as a multitude of friends, in different parts of the dis:ricf, have long p ‘rsistenily urged him to allow his name to be presented to the con vention. In the knowledge of the law and rule 3 and methods of the courts, as also in the possession of the particular qualities of mind und charaoter required in a good judge Mr. Chilcote is, undoubtedly the peer of any man in the circuit. His frank and genial disposition have also made him very popular personally, while his record as a brave and willing soldier is an exceedingly strong point in hi j favor. —Rensselaer Republican. We do not know whether the De** mocracv will nave a candidate in the field. I! not, Mr. 0. would no doubt be as acceptable to the people as any gentleman named in connection with the office.

The Logansport Chronicle speaks disparagingly of Mr. Wolcotts oan« didacy.jDoes McSheeny suppose that congressional lightning is going to strike in a community of chronic kickers such as Logansport,—Monticeilo Herald No kick in Cass county this lime, neighbor. W. D. Owen will go into the convention with every vote of the county. Mr. Wolcott, socially, is an exceedingly clever gentleman, but politically ne won’t do and you kuow it—Logansport Chronicle. And neither will Mr, Owen, Brother McfcJheehy.—Winumac Republican. Who will? Rochester Tribune. The Rensselaer Republican gives the abov i "family jar” to its readers without once thinking of a response to the query ot tne Rochester Tii*. hune. Why did it not present the name of "Our Simou” as a peace off ering. The Republican is certainly guilty of an inexcusable blundering oversight- But then, Tom Wood will step in and put an end to your family fight, gentlemen. —— “Cass county in 1882 gave Hawn 2,843 votes andDeMottc 2,547, leaving DeAiotte Deliinu only 296 And yet she kicks. In 1880 White Co gave 1.6u8 voles. In 1882 she only gave him 1 505 votes, making his loss in the county 103. At lhe swrae time she gave Hawn, Secretary of State, 1,81-9 votes, leavir g D Motto behind the Stats ticket 390. And yet she don’t kick Winamac Republic n. “We catiDOu imagine why tno R • publican saould be so anxious to upologise for the conduct of Cass c urty r< publicans as to print false figures. White county gave Haw , in 1882,1,545 votes- nut 1,839. De» Motte Was just 40 behind the Sta'e ticket and not 396. Tne Cass county kickers are of the kind who .ake oreat eemfort in the thought that there tire o:hers as mean as they.— They must louk elsew e e than u bite county, The republicans- lest in Wiilie they dm everywhere; < ut uct because they were betray d ly t iOte wnotn they trusted, as iu t ass.—Montieelio Herald

It We rejoice at the presen' ation of the facts and figures by the Herald. They show that the Democratic gain two years ago was of a substantial character, ami may ba relied upon next November far the Democratic tieket. While republican editors are pietending to split their sides iu laughter over what they term his o’erweeDing presumption, an! denounce him as an insincere dema^ogm 1 , tie's is the way a soldier speaks, in | the Washington World—a soldier’s paper —of the member from this district: “I feel that we old soldiers have a true friend in the peisoh of Hon. Thomas J. Wood, of Indiana. He talks it right to the point. Ho is the kind of a man that the o d boys want to support. I think he would do better by us than our G- A. R. Peneion Committee would" * * * C. W. Ransom, Ellsworth Post Hardwick, Vt.

RANDALL IN HIS OWN DISTRICT.

Mr. Randall’s entire district is within the limits of the city of Philadeln phia All the wards comprising that district are more or less Democratic. One of those wards at the last Congressional election gave Mr. Randall nearly 900 majority, and yet we fied the Democratic Executive Committee of that ward at a meeting last week passing the following resolutions: Resolved, That we express our unqualified opposition to the present system of tariffjtaxation as an unjust and oppressive burden put upon the labo and living of the people, white forcing monopolies and raising una< i s-ouy surplus revenue to be a temptation to corrupt and extrava* gant xpenditures. Resmv-d, 1 hat the true Democrat* ic doctrine upon this subject is that the Government ought not and Las no right to tax the peeple one dolla’ - more than is necessary to raise the reveuue necessary to conduct its affairs; that there is no constitutional warrant for a tariff levied for any other pm pose, and that every dollar levied in excess of the necessities of the public expense is an unjust and illegal exaction.

Resolv ed, That we are opposed to removing the tax on whisky and to* baoco, and believe that the surplus should be reduced by removing the tax on the necessaries of life and raw materials, so as to give American labor a fair chance to compete in manufactured products in the markets of the world, and we are therefore opposed to the tariff plank of the Allentown platform as a trimming evasion, and so far as it means anything as being antagonistic to the princi. pies we have declared. Resolved. That we believe an immediate reform or the tariff is alike demanded by common sense and common honesty, and we deplore and deprecate all acts resuiting in a further continuance of the burdens and injustice of our presenl system <>t tariff taxation as wrongful to the country and antagonistic to the principles of the Democratic party, aEd a betrayal of the cause of the people to monopoly and oppression. The above come from the Demo-* crats of the largest manufacturing city in the country. A tariff that will yield as much in*» come from customs as is required for the support of government without taxing the people for commodities that are produced at home Is what rerenne reformers mean by free trade.--Philadelphia Record.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TARIFF QUESTION.

By reference to the following platform declarations of the Democratic party in past years it will be seen that there is nothing new in the position of the majority of the party upon the tariff question: Free commerce with all nations* political connection with none—Dera* oeratic Congressional Caucus. 1800. Hostility to any and all monopolies by legislation, because they are violations of the equal rights of the people. The tiue fouudution of republican government is the equal rights of every citizen in his person end property and its management.— FfrstDemocratic National Platform, 1836. Resulted, That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Government to foster on- branch of industry to (he detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of cqo portion to the injury of another portion of our common country. Resolved, That It is the duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affaits, and ihat no more reveuue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of.the Government— Democratic National Platform, 1840; reaffirmed, 1844. Resolved, That the fruits of the great political triumph of 1844 have fulfilled the hopes of the Democracy of the Union in the noble impulse given to the cause of free trade, by the repeal of the ,tariff of 1842, and the creation of the more equal, non est and protective tariff of 1846, and that, in our opinion, it would be a fatal error to weaken the hands of a political organization by which t ese git-nt reforms have been achieved, aud risk them in tbe hands of their known adversaries with whatever de lusive appeals they muy solicit our surrender of that vigilance which is the only safeguard of liberty. —Democratic National Platform, 1848.

Resolved, That it is t' e duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the Government and for the gradual but certain extinction of the public debt.—Democratic National Convention, 1852. Resolved, That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Govern meat to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish ‘he interests of on a portion to the injury of anjther portion of our cominou country. Resolved, That it is the duty of very brand! of the Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to bo raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the Government, and for the gradual but certain extinction of the public debt.

Resolved- That there are questions connected with the foreign policy of this country which are inferior to no domestic question whatever. The time has come for the people of the United States to declare themselves in saver of free seas and progressive free trade throughout tne world, and, by solemn manifestations, to place their moral influence at t e side of their successful example—Democratic National Platform 1856; reaffirmed in 1860 We denounce the present tariff, levied on nearly 400 arreles, as a master-piece of injustice, inequality and false pretense. It .yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue,--It has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibi s im*» ports which might p rchase the products of American labor. It has degraded American com erce from the first to an inferior rank on the Jhigh seas. It has cut do n the sales of American manufactuiers at home and abroad, and depleted the returns of American agriculture—nn industry followed by baif of our people. It costs the people five times more than it produces to the Treasury, obs;ructs the processes of production and wastes the fruits of labor, it promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest officials, and bank** rupts honest merchants. We demand that all Custom house taxation shall be only for revenue—Democratic National Pl.ttform, 1876. Home rule, honest money, consist* ing of gold, silver and paper convert* ibis on demand; tne strict mainten. ance of the public faith. State and National, and a tariff for revenue only —Democratic National Platform 1880.
