RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY OCTOBER 17. 1884.

A Remakable Escape. Mrs. Mary A. Daily, ofTunkhannock, Pa„ was afflicted for six years witb Asthma and Bronchitis, during which time the best physiciahs could give no relief. Her life was despaired of, until in last October she procured a Bottle of Dr. King’s Npw Discovery, when immediate relief was felt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured, gaining in flesh 50 lbs- in a few months Free Trial bottle of this certain cure of all Throat and Lung Diseases at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store. Large Bottles SI.OO [4.] Blaine’s Four Jobs. A subscriber writes as follows: Rockford, 111., Sept. 16.—Mr. Editor: Is he assertion of Mr Blaine and his news papers that the Mulligan letters, old atd new, furnish noevidenceof wrong doing by Blaine a truthful ode? If not, will you explain briefly the exact nature of the charge? And oblige, yours truly. John Tucker. Answer.—l. The assertion of Mr, Blaine and his newspapers is simply an impudent falsehood. 2. Four distinct cases of official conduct are proved by the Mulligan letters. They are: The Spencer Rifle Job.—ln which Blaine, while a stock-holder in the Spencer Rifle company, used his position in Congress to pass an act relievinghis orporatiou of taxes, The Little Rock Job.—ln which Blaine, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, worked through a bill extending the land grant of the road.for which act tie received SIOI,OOO of bonds from Warren Fisher without the payment of one centThe Arkansas Bank Job.—ln which Blaine offered to use his official position to help Fisher start a bank. The Northern Pacific Job.—ln which Blaine tried to work off on Fisher a block of Northern i aeifle bonds which he received at what he called a 'very rare price.' An Impirhiat scovery.

A Party Organ in a New Role.

[Chicago D iiiy N; } The Blaine managers in Ohio were all broke up last Friday morning over the appearance in their own particular organ, the < ommercial Gazette, of a column of reading matter, upon the fifth page devoted to a scathing analysis of the Mulligan letters in the interest of the Independent Republicans. The article was, of course, paid for as an advertisement, but this did not lessen the force of its damaging arguments. Perhaps the cluelest thing in the whole article was the preface, which, commenting upon the fact that the Independents have no organ in * inuinnati, went on to say that “the Com-mercial-Gazette is for Blaine, not because Mr. Halstead or Mr. Smith have changed their opinions of the candidate, but because the Commercial-Ga-zette is a Republican organ, and must be for the Republican party, right or wrong.’ The transaction was a curious one at best, and entirely con trary to all the traditions of party organs. It was a great scheme for the Indepeu dents, who in no othei way could have reached so exactly the public they sought. It also shows that the CommercialGazette was sorely in need of money, and for the sake of it was willing to put a heavy emphasis upon tne first half of its name.

The Pension Bureau in Politics.

[From tho New Yo k T me», Oct. 9th.] Commissioner Dudley has been unable to dispose of the appropriations for arrears of lensions which he has asked : or and obtained because, as le said the force of >is office was insufficient to examine and pass upon the applications on file more rapidly. Now, this overworked official, with a part of his inadequate force, has deserted the loaded files at Washington, with their accumulated applications; and gone to Ohio to do political work of a particularly contemptible kind. This seems to consist in working on the hopes and fears of veterans to induce them to vote for Blaine under the pretense that it will hasten and secure the payment of their claims. It is only by an unjust discrimination that it can do anything of the kind, and this process of political coercion and blackmail is taking up time which might far better be spent for the benefit of waiting pen sioners in Washington. Mr. Dudley is using the last days of his career as ('ommlssioner of Pensions in spoiling ,a fair record, and he iSf doing it very effectually.

Blaine Doing Dorsey’s Work in Ohio.

(From tho L. I. City Star.) / It is time that some wort of condemnation was uttered against the spectacle of Blaine personally superintending the distribution of corruption funds to carry Ohio. Mr. Blaine’s trip to that State was ostensibly undertaken to arouse the flagging spirits of his party and exert his magnetism. Magnetism has always been most powerfully exerted through the agency of steel. Mr. Blaine’s magnetism is equally powerful both in gold and steal. It is a sorry sight to see the Republican candidate for the highest office in the land personally distributing the fund, subscribed by Gould, Vanderbilt, Field and other monopolists, to the ward politicians of Ohio and manipulating the machinery of elections. Perhaps Hoar of Massachusetts and Fish of New York, and Edmonds of Vermont, can point with pride to this picture—but the Republicans are not pointing with .pride this year.

The Labor-Starving Monopolists.

(From the New York World Oct. 9th.) Steve Elkins is the owner of James G. »'laine. They are old friends and associates in speculations and jobs. They have shared many “good things,” from Star-routes to coal mines. For years they have been as ‘thick as thieves.” When Blaine went into the Hocking',Valley| enterprise he paid for his interest by a draft on Steve Elkins for *25,000. When the bonds of the Consolidated Hocking Valley “Standard” Company venture were set apart for Blaine they were handed over to Steve Elkins and receipted for by him “on account of James G. Blaine.” Steve Elkins knows more about the Star-route business than any living man,” is the statement made by Star-route Dorsey, the man who bought Indiana for Garfield and now supports Blaine. Steve Elkins probably knows quite as much about Star-route Blaine as he does the Star-rout robberies. When Steve Elkins and Blaine were arranging the “Standard Coal and Iron Company” consolidation the former sent some figures to Mr. J. Henry Brooks to show that the job would pay. In submitting these figures Steve Elkins wrote as follows: Uniting the two interests would not only put, the Standard stock to par but create a monopoly that would control the coal and iron of the Hocking Valley. Steve Elkins, Blaine and their associates used the power of their monopoly to grind down labor in the Hocking Valley mines to famine rates, and when the suffering miners struck their places were filled by the cheap imported labor of Sclavs and the men were driven out to starve. “That is the sort of man Blaine is!” Yet the Anti-Monopoly humbugs are calling on sensible, honest men to throw away their votes on the clown, Ben Butler, in order to put m power the Monopolistsand LaborStarvers, James G. Blaine and Steve Elkins. An Independent Republican journal well says: ‘There is, m their judgemen, and in ours, sometning radically wrong, when, as recently happened under the operation of our protective tariff the few capalists interested in'the steel dustries of Pennsylvania pocketed &2 ’,O 'O,OOO of profit, while the total amount paid in wages to the thousands who produced the stell was only 14,000,000. It ill hardly, we think, be contended by any that labor is being fairly treated where the workman has to produce *1.60 of clear profit tor every dollar he is permitted to place to his own account.’

Mr. Blaine never has denied t 1 at he vcted against the Thurman bill to force the Pa cific railroads to make provis I ions for their indebtedness to the government. Where the mendacity of the candidate fails him his organs should come to his relief. It would greatly advance Mr. Blaine in pubic estimation if it could be shown that he was at any time in favor of protecting the gov ernment against its plunderers—Philadelphia Record Kind.) A correspondent asks The Cincinnati Enquirer when the *‘Hon.” Daniel P. Dean, secretary of the recent Irish-Blaine convention, was released from the work-house. The Enquirer calmly answers that Dean was sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days on the •2d of last June for abusing his family, but was released beI fore his time expired.

NUMBER 38.

LOGAN SLOGAN.

When some of Mr Logan’s friends were urging him for the first place on the Republican ticket, the Chicago News, a Republican paper, on the Uth day of May said: “But Logan did not confine “his hatred to the North to “mere words, as the following “from an affidavit sworn to be“fore John Q. Harmon, Clerk “of the Circuit Court of Alex “ander County, Illinois Sep“tember 80,1868, will show: “I John G. Wheatly, a resident of the city, county and “State aforesaid, do solemnly “swear that on the 28th day of “May 1861,1 went to Williamson County to join Captain ‘J. B. Cunningham’s company ‘(G) of the Fifteenth Regiment ‘Tennessee Volunteers; that “Major General John A. Lo“gan, now candidate for Con-gress-at-large, and who then “represented this (the Thirteenth) Congressional District, was the chief person “who raised said company, and ‘persuaded me to join the “same; that said Logan accom“panied us (about seventy in “number) in the night part of' ‘the way from Williamson ‘County to Paducah, the place “designated for us to cross the “Ohio River. We crossed at ‘Paducah, according to John “A. Logan’s instructions, to ‘evade Union troops, which he “stated were stationed at Cai! “ro * * * My son, R. L. Wheatly, Thompson Coder, ‘Harry Hayes, vViiliam Tinkler, Jackson Brown, Jackson Law, George Law, Joshua ’Law, Fleming Ghent; Martin ‘Williams, and others, all ex‘cept the first, now residing, or were when I first heard “from them, in Marion, Wib ‘hamson county, Illinois, were ‘members of said company, ‘and will attest the truth of “this statement. “It is a fact that up to July “8, 1861, although repeatedly “urged to abandon his treasonable attitude, Logan never by voice or act give in his adherence to the Union. On “that date the Chicago Tribune received the following in its dispatch from Washington: “John Logan falls in, quits ‘his dirty work, and even “wants a regiment.’ ” “Dear, dear, where have you been girls? 4 ’ said a Boston mother to her daughters, who had returned late from an entertainment. “ u e’ve been carmining the municipality,”* giggled the eldest. “And observing the pachyderm,”t laughed the second. “And vociferating the female to an extraordinary elevation,”t chimed in the third. “Dear, dear, dear!” exclaimed the mother, in expostulatory tones here’s no harm done, mamma,” pouted the fourth, “everything is amiable, and the fowl whose cackling was the salvation of Rome is suspend ed at an altitude hitherto un known in our experience.”§ Explanatory chart: ♦Painting the town red. fSeeing the elephant, - tWhooping her up. §Everything is lovely uuil the goose huogs high.” —Somerville Joun a’!
