THE CAMPAIGN TEXT BOOK for 1888 is now ready, and will be furnished on application to the National Democratic Committee, lo West 29th St., New York City. Price sl. In quantities of five cr more 5o cents each. “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. “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 sincer dy 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, I esides furnishing the temptatiou for their existence, enlarges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and thus increases the extent of their power for wrong-

doing. With an unalterable hatred 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.

Democratic pole raising at Kniman, Saturday, September 29th. — Turn out! ■ —» —— Hon. J, Kopelka will address he people at Kniman on the issues of the day, Saturday, Sept. 29th, on the occasion of the Democratic pole raising. The Republican State Committee will not permit Gen. Hovey to engage in joint discussion with Col. Matson, and Gen. Hovey don’t want to. Hovey and his committee are in happy harmony in that regard.

‘ Oh, ye Gods and Little Fishes!” One W. H. Calkins, an intimate and political friend of Bro. James, who at one misrepresented this district in Congress, and who was so badly left by Gov. Gray four years age, has expressed a desire to discuss the tariff issue with the Tall Sycamore. The Major sho’d not monkey with a buzz-saw. —■— » i ■» Read the great speech of the Secretary of the Interior, deliv. ered at Milwaukee. It is printed on another page. Hon. J. Kopelka dissects Billy Owen’s tariff speech with a master hand in the columns of the Valparaiso Messenger. He leaves nothing for the small statesman to stand upon.

A Little Too Previous! —Our Republican. friends, in order to more widely circula'e the notice of their approaching rally, desire to post th?ir announcements in the post office, a favor which post master Bates has consistently aid impartially refuted to all parties. A different state of affairs from those under preceding fadministrations now exist. We dl remember the following exposition of “offensive partisanism” chalked on the post office bulletin board the day following the Democratic jubilee, by Bro. James, now proprietor of the “Rensselaer Democrat!”:

“The vandalism committed last night are the legitimate, < rganized, deliberate insults of Democracy for Reform.” “In the interest of Reform the Democracy of Jasper County deliberately, wantonly insult every soldier who lost a leg or arm, or who was wounded in the line of duty in defense of the Union.”
