“We favor the entire repeal of the internal taxes (on whisky and tobacco) rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system.”—Chicago platform. “The platform is in entire harmony with my views.”—Ben Harrison. — «e» I “Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.”—President Cleveland in his letter of acceptance. “Trusts are private affairs with which President Cleveland and the people have no right to interfere.”—Blaine in the interest of “Trusts.”

“Such combinations have always been condemned by the Democratic party. The declaration of its national convention is sincerely made, and no member of our party will be found excusing the existence or belittling the pernicious results of these devices to wrong the people. Under various names they have been punnished bv common law for hundreds of years; and they have lost none of their hateful features because they have assumed the name of ‘Trusts’ instead of ‘Conspiracies.’ We believe that these Trusts are the natural offspring of a market artificially restricted; that an inordinately high tariff, 1 esides furnishing the temptation for their existence, enlarges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and thus increases the extent of their pQwer for wrong-

doing. With an unalterable ha- ] tred for all such schemes, we count the checking of their baleful operations among the good results promised by revenue reform.” — President Cleveland in his letter of acceptance. President Cleveland’s Letter of Acceptance is printed in full on another page of this “Sentinel.” Give it a careful and candid perusal. A Democratic meeting will b? held at the Brushwood school house, in Newton township, next Wednesday evening, September l?th. Everybody invited. A synopsis of “Chinese Ben’s” letter of acceptance will be found in the mopolistic Republican platform adopted at Chicago. He indorses that structure —robber tariff, free whisky, free tobacco, down to pure, moral and temperat» homes—in toto. Democratic pole raising at Kniman, Saturday, September 29th.— Turn out!

The Democratic pole raising at Wheatfield last Wednesday was a ted by an enthusiastic crowd of Democrats. Hon. N. Zimmerman, Democratic candidate for Congress was present, and made very favorble impression. Mr. Z., in company with D. W. Shields, proceeded from that point to DeMotte, where they remained over night and made the acquaintance of many of the citizens of that locality. On Thursday, at noon, they reached Rensselaer. Mr. Z. made a few remarks at the conclusion of Gov. Gray’s speech, and at- night addressed a large audience in Cleveland and Thurman Club room. We are inclined to believe that Mr. Zimmerman will b j the next representative in Congress from this District. UA life-long Republican of Milroy township, the other day, after reading Billy Owen’s tariff speech declared it to be his unalterable determination to vote for Cleveland, Thurman, Zimmerman, and> in fact, the entire Democratic tick* et. He says Billy’s efforts at hedging plainly revealed to his mind that we should have tariff reform.

GOV. GRAY Addressed a large and attentive meeting of the people of Jasper county at this place Thursday afternoon. His earnest and honest manner of dealing with the issues ot the day commended him to his hearers and members of all parties. His argument was logical and convincing, and we are satisfi ed, from general comment, will result in great good for the Democratic cause. One General Bussey, claiming te hail from New York, addressed a Republican meeting at the Opera House Thursday evening. He seemed to labor under a great d sadvantage. He did not hear Gov. Gray’s speech but a number of republicans had noted down points which they desired to have refuted and he was obliged to substitute an off-hand reply to the Governor for the prepared piece of oratory he had intended to deliver.— His effort was a complete failure, made up, as it was, of charges, denials and assertions, without a particle of official proof to back a single statement he made. He waltzed and forth in his line of argument until his audience became bewildered in their efforts to to follow him, and in sheer desperation began to leave the house in flocks. Now the main inquiry among republicans is—“ Who the d—l sent him here?” For a to be “all home print” James’ “Democrat!” is becoming rapidly rnd extensively fplated.”
