Democratic Sentinel, Volume 11, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1887 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

The Indianapolis Sentinel says that “it will not require any State’s evidence to convict General Carnahan, if the theory of Judge Woods be correct That damning circular is naked evid nee of crime.’' Says the Indianapolis Sentinel: “General Carnahan advised the Republican judges of election to secure and hold tally sheets, although that was th? ’/tors’ duty. It is this very thing at which Judge Woods Las been driving.” Why was not the Republican judge of the Indianapolis Thirteenth Ward, w.io jumped out of the window with the tally-s isets, n compliance with instructions contained in the circular sent out by republican chairman Carnahan, also indicted? Land-Commissioner Sparks rey Laniui'.. pu the orciers of withdr -wd oi railroads indemnity lands, made by his (republican) predeces ors from time to time since 1880, that the revocation will result in 25,000,000 acres of land being thrown open to settlement and entry. So much fo r a Democrat at the helm. We understand that Sim Coy and other Indianapolis Democrats indicted in the Federal Court, assert that they are not guilty of the offense with which they stand charged, and that there can ba no evidence to that effect against them, b t that since there has been such anover-zealous, over-righteous efort on the i.art of certain Republicans to secure the punishment of a few Democrats, they are willing to be tried by Judge Woods, without the intervention of Judge Gresham, in order that the indicted Republicans may be afforded an opportunity to clear their skirts of the charges against them.

The Rensselaer Republican as" sumes that because Governor Gray made apoointments to fill vacancies which he considered existed by virtue of expiration of term, that his act is equivr bnt to removal for cause. We suppose Gov. Gray has a perfect right to exercise his preferensee in making appointments. The pesumption of the Republican that Dr. Harfson and Trustee Gapen were removed on the strength of falshoods manufactured by a self appointed partisan civil service commission, and retailed over the State by he high toned grandson of his grandaddy, Bennie Harrison, as capital to secure his return to the U. S. Senate, has no foundation. Our neighbor should peruse the report of the Senate Committee, of which the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee was a member, which appeared in our columns a few reeks since. It is scathing in in its denunciation of the methods and designs of the frauds composivg the so-called commission, and the,retailers of its slanders thro’ the press and from the platform. The reader of the Republican will audibly smile at the innocence of of our neighbor supposing he co’d so easily gull them. C. F. Oyeracker, formerly connected with the Rensselaer Republican, has purchased the Brimfl 'ld, 111 , News, and assumed conirol. We wish him success. !

Indianapolis News, republicin: It becomes constantly more obvious that our gove nm nt will have to put up bars in the way of unlimited immigration. The foreign stiikers in the coke region of Scottdale, in Pennsylvania, have been trying dynamite on a coal shaft and bullets on the miners. Now this is no solitary instance. The coke country is crowded with the worst class of popu’ation from the worst refuse of Europe. They have been brought here largely by operators to hold down the prices of better labor, and as far as these enterprising gentlemen are concerned it does not matter if they are scalded with their own broth. It is just what they deserve for Hooding the country with cargoes of savages worse every way, more ignorant, more brutal, more unmanageable than Apaches, to hold a club over the heads of citizen workmen who wanted wages enough to live decently and raise decent families These mischievous importations have brought voluntary immigrants and they are all ntterlv unfit fov cithu’.nnhH or residence in any civilized land. They are largely aliens and all socialists and anarchists, believers in the gospel of murder and plunder, and ought, as a matte * of national safety and pe-ce to be sent back home. That not beiu.j readily manageable there ought to be no more admitted to the country. We have had immigration more than enough unless a part of it were better stuff in the last decade. We should be better off materially and morally if we Lad kept out about two millions that now make most of our labor disturbance and all our labor ma hers and emtrnr s. The a, ove is bat a famt picture of the result of radical protection of monopolies against foreign products, and the non-protection of American laborers against comDetion with the characters described, in the foregoing.

Indianapolis Sentinel: There seems to be no end to the foe-soliciting schemes ot Secretary of State Griffin. Wf have before us a circular letter sent by him to Township Trustees and Supervisors, under date of March 22, in which he intimstes that they are compelled to have a certified copy of the stock law in their possession. He informs them that the price will be sl. The act, which is a short one, could have been written in the same number of words he takes to make his demand on the trustees and supervisors. A correspondent of the Sentinel who has secured one of these circulars, very pertinently says: “There being several hundred Trustees in the State and several hundred |Supervisors, Mr. Griffin thought by telling the Trustee that the law prescribed a d dy for him to perform, and imposed a fine upon the Supervisor for failure to perform his duty under the law, that there would be <t wild clamor for a copy of it.” The acts were not printed until this letter had been generally circulated, so that there is no telling to what extent the secretary bled the Trustees and Supervisors. As th® cts, index- -nd ell, on y made seventyseven pages, there was no good reason why they should not have been published by April 1, at farthest, wher’uu they we e held back until about May 1, to give the Secretary, presumably, opportunity to work various little schemes of this kind. And now that the Acts are published, it has been found that the Secretary has failed to obey the mandate of the Constitution with respect to such publications. Ono of the Trustees of this county, a republican at that, who received a copv of -be circular referred to, says the necessity of the purchase was furthermore pressingly urged, and the danger of de lay pointed out by the announcement that the new stock I w came in force immediately after its passage and approval by virtue of an emergency clause. The 1 rustee further said that it was the first circular of the kind he had ever received, and should Griffin be a candidate for re-election, he will feel in duty hound to “scratch” him.

In a recent copy of the Greensburg, Kansas, Rustler, we find the following favorable mention of former Jasper county boys: “At an election held on the first Tuesday in April for city officers L. K. or “Kos” Yeoman, one of ten candidates fo r councilmen, stood sixth on the list in number of votes, although on another ticket. Ten votes from the weakest man on the successful ticket or nineteen more votes than he received would have made him councilman. This being the fact, that he received such a large complimentary vote, we think he is the proper man to be put in the place now made vacant by the ineligibility of C. P. Fullington, who was county commissioner at the time he was elected councilman, which was not permissable by law.” “E. J. Abbott came from Jasper co., Ind , to Kiowa in Meh., ’BS, preempted IGO a. in sec. fO, 29,17, has a nice stone house, good stable, good well, orchard, forest trees, and has 50 a. under cultivation, 25 a wlie-tt that looks Wr.jl. “Alexander Peacock came from Jasper co., Ind., to Kiowa in Nov., ’BS, bought 160 a. in sec. 29,29, 17, has a good sod house, stable, orchard, forest trees, 50 a. under cultiva ion, • 45 a. of wheat, which looks well. Messrs. Peacock, Abbott and Jacks ran a threshing machine in this county lust year, and threshed over forty thousand bushel of wheat, oats and corn. “John Jacks came from Jisfer co., Ind., to Kiowa in fall of ’B4, pre-empted the qr. 19, 29, 17, has a good house and stable, other out building-; well, oichard, forest trees, has 75 a. ider cultivation, ■9 : . under fence, and 15 a. of wheat that looks well.” <oo -•»■ ♦ - ■■ W. H. Hinkle, of Greensburg, accompanied by his brother, John A. Hinkle and two friends, Rev. B. F. Ferguson and John English, of Rensselaer, Ind., have beenl looking over southeastern Ford county, tne past few days. These gentlemen are much pleasedj with this country and are making investments. Rev. Ferguson purchased lots in Bucklin, and Mr. John A. Henkle is dealing for a half section southwest of town about fiv«* miles. Mr. Hinkle is a farmer of the rigid sort, the kind any community is glad to welcome. He informed us, if he made t .is purchase, he wouid develop it. These gentlemen were the guests of their old Indiana friend, D. L. Pritchard. —Bucklin (Kansas) Standard. Mr. M. H.
