The Democratic Sentinel.

The members of the Jasper bounty Democratic Central Com mittee are requested to meet at R-nsselaer, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, ’B9, at 1 o’clock p. m., for the transaction of important business. LEE E. GLAZEBROOK, Chairman. V. E. Loughridge, Sec’v. Rensselaer, October 2, 1889. The legislature of Montana is Democratic on joint ballot. At Indianapolis the Democratic net majority on Aldermen is 2,472. The majority m Connecticut agains; the prohibitory amendments is 28,886.

Judge Sullivan, Democratic can. didate for Mayor of Indianapolis, received a majority of 1.795. In one ward at Indianapolis the republicans elected a negro to the council who can neith read nor write. The election in Montana was conducted under the Australian system, and the Democracy were triumphant. Jim Chalmers, of Fort Pillow infamy, Republican candidate for Governor of Mississippi, has withdrawn from the race. A repubpian in Indianapolis the other day expressed himself thus: ■“When the Democrats of Indianapolis placed Judge Sullivan in nomination for mayor by acclamation, I had no idea that th ay wo’d elect him by acclamation, too.” ■—" . The Democrats of Indianapolis elect 15 of the 25 couacilmen.— All hail to the gallant Democracy of that city. And to the Sentinel, greeting: “You had a large-sized hand in that pie.”

Sim Coy was elected to the city council, Indianapolis, by a larger majority than heretofore. A great many people wh »read the testimony in the case think Coy was unjustly punished, and entertain a higher regard for him than they do for Judge Woods. Under six mcn*hs of Harrison’s administration the country has suffered 329 more fai’ures than during the same period of 1888.— In addition to the failures there has been more strikes, more lockouts and more and greater reduction of wages. Our neighbor is not even convalescent • The Van-Antwep, Bragg & Co. monopolistic fever is hard to break when once it takes so complete hold on one as it has on him. The shod book law is imperative and our mghbor will eventually submit to the inevitable and cease his opposition. The Mills bill provided for a big reduction in the duty on raw su* 3 gar, and its total abolition on the refined article. Had the republic -can senate accepted this measure there would be no sugar trusts to-, day, and the price r would not be »way up. Th* republican senate, however, prefer that the people shall have free whisky and free tobacco. |

Here are a couple of gems from ibe speeches at the recent Massa* chusetts democratic state convention. Mr. Matthews, the chairman, said, in the course of his remarks: The republican party has outlived its usefulness and is incompetent to settle the problems of the time; it is o med by corporations, wealth and lobbies; it stole the presidency once and bought it twelve years later; It has nothing to offer the people but subsidies, Blair bills, high tariffs and more restra.ntsnn commerce; its policy, if will hand this country over to monopolies first, to socialism next.

she aim of democracy, on the other hand is to secure for labor gi eater rewards and to increase the opportunities for industry and trad°. Having h ?ld our own with foreign nations on the field of battle, we need not fear the peaceful rivalry of friendly commerce. Free raw materials; free coal and wood and iron and lumber; wider markets for the products < f American labor and American ships to carry them in; and freer commercial relations with all the nations of the earth —these things will benefit the whole people of this country; they are essential to the continued prosperity of the New England states; and they will not be had until the democratic party is restated to power. Ex*Gongressman J. |E. Russell (not the nominee for governor) said in the peroration of his eloquent speech:

Cleveland and Harrison! They fitly represent the principles and purposes of their respective’ parties. Between them there is- a difference as great as between courage and timidity, patriotism andpolicv, progress and stagna* tion, the living principles as a living party and th« lifeless faith of a party that dwells only on the past; between a people’s president, fighting the people's cause, serving them and them only, and a party president, who heej s the voice only of the politicians
