THE CAMPAIGN TEXT BOOK for 1888 is now ready, and will be furnished on applieation to the National Democratic Committee, lo West 29th St., New York City. Price sl. In quantities of live or more 5o cents each. Hon. James N. Moore, of Lake county, will addre *s the citizens of Union and adjourning townships, at Fair Oaks, Thursday evening, Sept. 6,1888, on the subject of tariff reform, and in advocacy of the election of Cleveland & Thurman. Ccme out, everybody! The Pennsylvania iron mills at Lancaster, which shut down a week ago, ‘on account of tariff agitation,’ have resumed operations.—Press item. And the ‘’tariff agitation” is still on. ■ “Whenever I see a cheap coat, I think it involves a cheap man under the coat.” —Benjamin Harrison. A host of voters in cheap coat ß will resent this sneering allusion to them by the blue-blooded “grandson of his grandfather.”

“If we can only punk it down the workingmen’s throats that free trade means less work and less wages, we will bury this man Cleveland.”—Wood Pulp Miller. The speaker at the Republican meeting Wednesday evening tried desperate hard to ‘punk’ it down the throats of his audience. His laborious efforts to give plausibility to his propositions was pitiable to behold, is a “punker” he was failure.

The Democratic party differs with Jim Blaine, and will smash Trust combintions in good time. How lightly the Republican orators touch the subject of “Free Whisky and Free Tobacco.” Billy Owen was renominated for Congress by the republican con vention at Rochester. Billy can and will be defeated. The White County Democrat says Judge Hammond was the solitary Jasperitish pilgrim to the shrine of the “grandson” last Saturday.

Our neighbor of the Republican expresses admiration for the Sentinel cartoons. He will find some on another page that are very suggestive. Jim Blaine, in a recent speech declared that “neither the President, Congress, nor the State Legislatures had the authority to interfere with “Trust” combinations ” And now Mat. Quay chairman of the Republican National committee, declares him to be “Harrison’s d —d Burchard.” He announces his purpose to muzzle the magnetic statesman.

Chairman Jewett, of the Democratic State Centrul Committee? has been seeking to effect an arrangement for joint discussions between Matson “and Hovey. but chairman Huston, of the Republican committee, says—“No; not for $25,ooo!” — . O’Donnell, republican orator Wednesday evening, informed his audience that the tariff was a dry, intricate subject for discussion? and that he didn’t believe they would be any the wiser aft9r he had done with it. He told the truth. They couldn’t catch head or tail of what he was driving at*

Tor Use in the Arts.— “l will take,” said the tramp to the bartender, “a little free whisky to be used in the arts.” “Whet’s that?” growled the drink dispenser.— •“Ah,” said tlie tramp loftily, “you are probably a democrat, and haven’t the platform which we re publicans adopted. We there demand free whisky for the arts, and I will take a little just now to be used in painting my nose.” — Exchange. The Chicago Herald pillories demagogue Blaine in the following vigorous language: The audacious declaration of James G. Blaine that neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any particular right to interfere with conspiracies of engrossers and forestallers—with robbers and villains like the hard coal ring—reveals Blaine as the enemy of the taxpayer, just as the Herald has branded him. The mendacious declaration that England, a free-trade country is plastered over with trusts, reveals him as a shameless liar, who repeats his falsehoods in the face of immediate contradiction.

J. W .Duvall has just been notified that he is the “grandfather’’ of a new “gaandson” in Valparaiso. Sid. Schanelaub, of Pilot Grove, will please accept our thanks for favors received. “First voters” were made officers of the republican meeting the other evening, and occupied the platform. They were a badly scared looking lot of boys. Elder E. A. Pardee, of Monticello, will preach at the Christian church Saturday evening and Sundav morning and evening; also at Barkley chapel, Barkley township, Monday and Tuesday nights, All are invited. John Meyer and family, of Pittsburgh, Pa., visited his brother Wm. Meyer (night watchman) in Rensselaer, during the past week. The brothers had not met for 31 years. Mr. M- gives a doleful history of the workings of protection in the Carnegie industries, and is a warm advocate of tariff reform

Mr. John Shields who resides a few miles south of town, on Tuesday la-t While engaged in staccking grain fell from the stack and striking the wheel of a in his descent broke two nbs. Dr. Loughridge w#s sent for and afordad temporary relief. FatV.ei and Mother Cotton celebrated th# fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, Monday, August 2oth.
