The Democratic party never had stronger reasons to hope for success than in the present campaign. The administration of National affairs Has been clean and honest; the public debt has been steadily reduced and the National credit never stood higher than it does today. The number of employes in many of the Departments of the Gov.rnment have been decreased, the creased, the expenses thereof reduced and a system of retrenchment and reforrn inaugurated that will save nearly SOOOO,OOO annually in the expenses of the Government. “ ♦ •*--♦ ♦- More pensions have been granted than durtng the same period uuder Republican administrations, and more private pension bills passed and approved by the President than during the eight years of the Presidency under Grant. ■ ■ ■ «•» Nearly 100,000,0 so acres of the public domain, voted to corporate monopoliesby Republican Administrations, have been recover d back to the people. The usurpation of the National reservations by the cattle kings has been broken up, and the Territories are being saved from the grasping greed of land monopolies. Senator James H. Willard, at the Court House next Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock. The Republican party squandered nearly $500,000,000 of money in the administration of the Navy Department and when it went out of power left nothing to show so a lieut Governor Nelson th j Qourt House Saturday, QqU
“The Forks of the Road.”
If some of us will not accept the goal you have in i*w, need we part company till we get to the forks of the road. —Senator Harrison at Indianapolis, Sept. 15. Not being able to decide which fork to take, Senator Harrison will doubtless take to the woods, where the interest in the temperance question is not “so very general and intense” as to require him to have any opinion at all, either public or private.—Senator Yoorhees at Indianapolis, Sept. 27.
Democracy and Labor.
Equal and exact justice t j all men. —Thomas J etferson. Exclusive privileges to none. — Andrew Jackson. Under our form of government the value of labor as an element of national prosperity should he regarded as especially entitled to legislative care.—Grover Cleveland. The Republican Legislature of ndiana in 1881 passed an act hick allow el a! i ns to acquir c and old real estate in State, therebv making it possible for large landed interests to be held hy foreign captalists, and a system of foreign landlordism to be inaugurated here. In the interest of labor the last Democratic Legislature passed an act repealing said alien land law: It also passed an act prohibiting the importation of foreigners under contract or agreement to perform labor within the State: Alsa an act proliibi ing the employment of children under twelve years of age in certain manufacturing, and in those in which they are allowed to be employed from keeping them at work more than eight hours per day: An act providing the means for securing the health and safety of persons employed in coal mines; An act securing the payment of laboring men and mechanics, making them first creditors until they are paid in full: An act reducing telephone charges and prohibiting discrimination between patrons; An act comp lling companies, corporations and associations, doing business in this State to pay their employes monthly; An act giving laborers and material men engaged in the construction of railroads a lien on the same: An act guaranteeing and enforcing civil rights of all persons: An act providing for the education of pauper children in all the counties of the State: An act providing for the enrollment of allj the soldiers of the State, an • An act to prohibit forced '•ontributions of money or property from employes by corp rations or their officers. The Democratic party is to-day, as it ever has been, the friend of the laboring classes, and every law in the statutes of the Republic, and every law in the statutes of Indiana, passed in the interest of labor, is of Democratic origin.— Gov. Gray, at Logan sport.
Bro. James is exceedingly anxious over the fat) of Mr. Thompson, notwithstanding from his array of figures Mr. T. ought to have a big majority. Mr. James admits of large def ctions in favor of Dr. Patton. The admission of defections in f ,vor of the Doctor in his own and Mr. T.’s township is a strong commentary on the propo ition “what their neighbors think of them.” The defection is, as it should bo, much greater than Mr. James is willing to concede — sufficiently great, we have reason to believe, to continue Mr. Thompson in the role of a private citizen by a round majority. Let Mr Janus cease to borrow trouble. — “The expression of any Democraiic newspaper upon this (sena torial) subject is no more than the voice, of the individual Democrat who edit§ the paper; it has no official weight whatever.—James begging Democratic votes for Thompson. Ah, Bro. James, Democrats have long ago ceased to respect your advice and opinions, or the motives which might prompt the same. — They can very readily judge as to which “will best subserve the interests of the people,” without poansel from you.
The “bob-tail” ticket is a source of great worriment to the supporters of the “Kilkenny-cat” tick_ et, and is producing considerable consternation as the probable defeat of the “Kilkennys” assume proportions of certainty. Bo satisfactorily, successfully, and honstly has Will Hoover conducted thr affairs of the Treasurer’s office, that our neighbors of the * Repul lican” and “Message’’ seek to assign a cause therefor. The “Republican” is very anxious that its Board of Commissioners and the Auditor be awarded the credit, inasmuch as they fixed the tax levy at such rate as made it possible for the Treasurer to collect and accumulate a surplus that is gratifying. The “Message” assigns, in substance, the same reasons, but thinks the Commissioners and Auditor are entitled to condemnation, and not credit, for affording such an opportunity to the Treasurer to make so gratifying a record. Will Hoover has performed his whole duty, faithfully, honestly. Even the organs of the opposition undesignedly and unintentionally admit it. The people of Jasper county will £est subserve their interests by re-electing him to the position he has so ably filled. “Lute” Strong, the Democratic candidate for Auditor, is a farmer in Newton township; a gentleman of irreproachable character and correst habits, and qualifications of a high order. He is not an 'of-fice-seeker, although be has on different occasions yielded to the wishes of his neighbors and filled positions of trust. He is not now a candidate by choice, but has consented in deference to the demands of his party. If elected, he will regard the position as one of public trust, and will discharge the duties thereof with an eye single to the interests of the people. In voting for him you will make no mistake. “Dave” Shields, for Recorder . 9 is a young man, a farmer boy, well fitted by education and industr ous habits to fill the position with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the people. No young man is more deserving of your encouragement and vote. For Commissioner, George H. Brown, jr., is a farmer, well qualified by education and interest to perform the duties faithfully and honestly. The dispute now on between the organs of the Republican party with reference to |tlie wisdom and efficiency of the present Board, suggests the propriety of mixing it by putting on “a hoss oi another color.”
Republicans designining to exercise an independent right by voting for whom they please, will no doubt feel highly complimented by the strictures of the official organ of their party in this county. They are denounced as “vote vending Harpies, who regard the ballot as an article of merchandise,” “gudgeons,” and on self presumption that they “vote for revenue or from personal malice” are therefore “sorry specimens of citizenship.” We know of hundreds sufficiently independent to vote for Dr. Patton, as well as for Democratic candidates, who will resent with more bitter scorn, contempt, and their ballots this foul, presumption to asperse their honesty, intelligence, and right to exercise their individual judgment in the disposition of the ballot.

Section 5 643 of t ie Revised Status s directs that if the Governor at any time shall And any embezzlement or breach of trust on the part of the State Treasurer he shall forthwith appoint a deputy Treasurer.
Section 5,644 of the Revised Sfat“ utesdirects tnat the Governor, when ever, in his opinion, the public interests require it, sh.Ul appoint sora" trustworthy accountant to examine the books at once, There ire the plain mandates of the law. The Republican attacks upon the State Treasurer began during Governor Porter’s t°na The Republican party its orators and organs have in times past commended Governor Porter for his business methods and abil ity. Yet Governor Porter d : d not regard the aec jsation8 t brought aeraiust the Htate Treasurer of sufficient moment to justify him in taking the action indicated n the statutes. Tnis whole matter of the assault upon the administration of the State Treasury is the outgrowth of a quarrel within the Republican party itself. The man who should, lr all precedent, be the Republican candidate for Senator to-day is Albert G. Porter. He t rew to be a formidable competitor of Senator Harrison immediately upon his el etion to tbe Governorship, at whic-b time his name was frequently mentioned in connection with the Presidency, so important was his victory in 1880 regarded. Mr. Porter had previously been a Congressman and First Comptroller of the Treasury. Few men have served their party so well, and none ever deserved promotion more. Senator Harrison had never done anything for his party, except to lead it to defeat The man of 1880, in the Republican party of Indiana, was Mr. Porter,, No member of the party has his ability as a canvasser, and o one is as popular among the masses of nis party. It was natural that the Harrisun faction, which included all th politicians of the Slick Six sort, should have begun early to prevent Governor Porter from entering the Senatorial race in 1786 against Senator Harricmn. They began by attacking him over the shoulders of the Democratic State Treasurer. To shut him out of the race is the whole pur pose of the attempt to scandalize the financial department of the State.— Their purpose was made manifest at the Republican State Convention when be was openly snubbed by Harrison and his immediate following, no recognition whatever being paid to him at the time. As though this were uu. enough h< has been permitted to enter 'he campaign only within the last few days, and not'a single Republican newspaper in the State, the Indianapolis Journal in eluded. Las published his speech in full (although this courtesy has been showD Senator Harrison and others), or even an extract of it. He has been persistently suppressed by order of Senatoi Harrison. He is to be refused even a chance at the peor consolation of a complimentary nomination.— ludianapalis Sentinel.
