DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.

For Clerk, For Sheriff, For Auditor, LUCIUS STRONG. I' or Treasurer, 'WILLIAM M. HOOVER. For Recorder, DAVID W. SHIELDS. For Coroner, For Surveyor. For Commissioner—Second District. GEORGE H. BROWN, Jr.

The Democracy of White county, have placed in the field a ticket of exceeding strength and well worthy the hearty support of the people of our neighboring county. Dr. H. D. Hattery, Democratic candidate for Congress, presided at Governor Gray’s opening speech at Logansport, last Saturday night and introduced the orator in a neat little speech. The xeliable and truthful Message man says: “Moved it is presumed by the lusty yells of Democrats for “retrenchment and economy in public expenditures,’’ the Board of County Commissioners have declined to allow Treasurer Hoovei’s bill for making delinquent tax list, amounting to $69. They allowed $3.50 on his bill of $12.54 for postagp. James W. McEwen filed a bill for $7 for printing which was allowed at $3. This shows a saving to the taxpayers of $82.04 on the bills of two Democratic citizens.” Heretofore bills “for making delinquent tax list” have always been allowed, and Mr. Hoover no doubt believes he is fairly and honestly entitled to it. The bill for $69, above referred to, has been continued to next term for consideration; the statement that “the Boarl of County Commissioners have declined to allow” it is simply a lie. It has been customary to allow bills for postage, and to the other ■offices is granted; why the Treasurer’s office should be ma ean exception we leave the Board to ex' plain. Of our bill for $7 the Board allowed $3 and considered the Treasurer responsible for the balanco. He paid it. This, too, was a bill heretofore customarilly allowed. The object of the exconsul to Turk Island fails of it s mark.

In a newspaper interview, Hon* John C. Odell, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, said that the Democrats were in good fighting trim, and were hopeful of defeating Congressman Owen, the monopolist. The news from Cass county is to the efiect that Dr. H. D. Hattery, Democratic candidate for Congress will poll a very heavy vote in his home county, tie is one of the best “hustlers” in the State, and will not let the grass grow under his feet between now and November.

Sherman (Texas) ' ourier: David W. Shields, formerly ajresident of this county, but who has made his home in Indiana for several years past, h*s been nominated by the Democracy of Jasper county, that State, for Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Shields will be remembered as a teacher in this county, having taught at Choctaw Grove and other points, and his friends will be glad to learn of his success in Indiana.

Pierre (Dakota) Signal: The Signal expects to see Chas. H. Price, of Highmore, one of the nominees of Democratic legislative convention. A brilliant orator; a sound lawyer, and a representative man; his election would surely follow. Charlie’s multitude of friends in Indiana, Mr. Signal, have been expecting something of the kind, assured that no better timber for such purpose has bsen transferred to your soil. The interests of his constituency will not suffer in his hands. Boom him in. j£The Democratic candidate for Congress, Dr. H. D. Hattery, of Logansport, stands squarely on the Democratic platform. He believes in reducing the tariff to a point where it will save millions to the poor and still not cut down the price of labor. He favors paying out the surplus in the treasury, thus making money more plenty and saving interest to the government. He believes in preventing the rich monopolist from importing pauper labor under contract to take the place of American jlabor. He believes in taking from the railroads the millions of lands which they still wrongfully hold and dividing them up into farms for settlers. In fact the doctor, being a gentleman of wide experience and practical good ss se, favors any measure that promises to benefit tae whole people.

It looks very much as though the late democratic congress comprehended the importance of having a new navy. The appropriations for this purpose will do more in this direction than all the millions of dollars expended under republican rule. Under the late congress power is given to the secretary of the navy to build eight war vessels and one dynamite gunboat, and to complete the monitors Puritan, Amphitrite, Monadnock and Terror, hour of the new vessels were authorized by an act of March, 1885. Of the four two are to be cruisers, one of 4,000 and the other of 3,700 tons. One is to be a heavy gunboat of 1,700 tons, and the other a light gunboat of 1,000 tons. These vessels are to be armed with twenty-eight six inch and two ten meh guns. Of the five vessels authorized by the last act of congress two are to be double bottomed armored seagoing cruisers of 6,000 tons each, with a speed of sixteen miles an hour. A third is to be a 4,000 ton double bottomed cruiser having the highest practical speed, and the sou -th is to be a first-class torpedo boat. Each of the two cruising iron clads will be line of battle ships and will carry four ten inch guns in turret, with four or six inch guns on deck. The dynamite gunboat will have a speed of twenty-iour miles an hour, and will be armed with three pneumatic dynamite guns of ten and one-half inch caliber, guaranteed to throw shells containing 200 nounds of dynamite or explosives at least one mile. The dimeneions of these vessels

we have taken from the New York Star, and are given in the law authorizing their construction. The people w’ill be glad to see that under this administration we are making • a good start for the new navy, and one which will go very far to protect our interests in any country as well as upon the high seas.—Winamac Democratic Journal.

A Deserved Tribute to Col. Patton.

The following well merited tribute to Col. D. H. Patton, unsolicited, is furnished the Goodland Herald by his “old friend and comrade,” Col. B. F. Scribner: New Albany, Ind., 1 Aug. 30,1886. J Editor Herald: I notice in your issue of Aug. 7th last, an article concerning my old friend and comrade, Col. David H. Patton, and hia candidacy for State Senator. It affords me great pleasure to thus learn that this brave and efficient soldier is appreciated by his neighbors at home. lam sure they can add to Col. Patton’s good qualities as a soldier those of a modest, educated gentleman; and while I do not know anything about his political opinions, not having had the gratification of meeting him but once since the war, yet I am confident that his fellow citizens will-honor themselves by placing any trust in his hands. He is one of the survivors of the famous 38th Ind. Vol. color guard at Perryville, and the only one I know of. He afterwards rose by his merits to the grades of Lieutenant, C ptain, Colonel, and brigade commander. At Jonesboro he especially distinguished himself, but at Perryville he passed thro’ a fiery ordeal. The regiment went into this battle with 500 men, and lost 27 killed, 127 wounded, and 7 prisoners, making an aggregate of 161, over thirty per cent, of their number. Two of the wounded afterwards died of their wounds. I will here quote from my official report of the battle of Perryville:

“The severity of this engagement maybe appreciated by the fact that of the nine men who coinposed the color guard, five were killed, the color-bearer was wounded in two places,; two had their clothes penetrated by bullets, leaving only one of them unscathed. The flag'w as riddled almost into shreds, the top of the staff was shot away, two bullets struck the staff, causing it to break after the battle at these) places.” In your axtich above referred to you suggest that th- flag be sent for the inspection of the old soldiers and their friends. I will therefore send it, so that all m.iy see for themselves the • dangera Col. Patton has escaped from.— The old flag has been quilted upon a white background, which is just its original size,therefore the white exposed to view shows the missing parts of the flag. In conclusion, I will add that I consider it a privilege to be permitted to add my testimony to yours concerning this faithful soldier and honest man. B. F. SCRIBNER, Late Col. 38th Ind. Vet. Vols., and Commander of Brigade in Ist Div. 14th A. C. Army of the Cumberland. N w let us hear from the “old friend and comrade” of old “Mental Vigor,” the Republican candidate for State Senator —the opponeu • of the brave soldier, Dr. David H. Patton. Surely one so excessively and “trooly loil” as to insist that Democrat and traitor were one and the same thing must have been at the front baring his breast to the conflict. Bro. James might give a history of the valiant deeds of his candidate for Senator; or, rather, he would —if he could.

Dr. Hattery, the Democratic nominee for Congress in this district, is identified with the welfare prosperity of the peonle. He a resident property holder who%' interests are in common with l^ s fellow citizens of this dist r 'i c t f or whose interests he his time and talents Upfeed to Congress. So iDJffiEficannot be said in behalf of his tppponent. Mr. Owen has a tempor!gj,y residence in this district, and Should he be defeated m the race fd r Congress would no doubt strike s en t and like the Arab steal axt a y p as t U res now. : His pas r cc/ rc ] j n Congress proves I that he has nL j ust conception of the needs ok u ie p eO pj 6 o f the

T enth district He voted against considering a proposition to reduce taxation. He favored taxing the people to subsidize steam ship lines. He dodged the oleomargarine bill. He refused to vote pensions to the soldiers unless tax- s raised to pay them should be collected from the earnings of the poor instead of the hoardings of the wealthy who fattened on the sacrifices made by the Union sol- ' iers to preserve the Union and the N-tion’s credit. Dr. Hattery will, if elacted to Congress, be found upon the side of the people on every question upon which he shall be called to vote.
