Bead and weigh every line published in this supplement. It has been produced with a particular regard to accuracy and its statements may be fully relied upon. It is hoped that some of the appalling facts set forth may cause some republicans, who love their families and their country’s good above party, to think well before they again give their support to a system which means inevitable ruin to our farmers; degradation to our laborers; a renewal of sectional hatred among our whole people and the imposition of a system of wicked, wanton taxation upon the toiling masses. Bead it carefully, article after article, line after line; study it; use Its arguments with your republican friends and then give it to some friend to read.

Indiana Will Go Republican Unless Democrats Do Their Duty. The present contest in Indiana is one of vital importance to the whole people. While this is measurably true of all general struggles for principle, the conflict now being waged is especially so, because, first, there is a TJ. S. senator to be elected, and second, because the state is to be reapportioned for congressional and legislative, purposes. Aside from the vast amount of legislation to be accomplished these questions are of vital moment. If the democrats are defeated in this contest the state will go into republican hands to remain perhaps for twenty years to come. The two things most important now are, first, to get out the vote, and second, to teach the voter how to mark and deposit his ballot. Every man interested in the cause has something to do and unless prompt effort is made Indiana will be lost. These words are written advisedly and plainly. Democrats make a fatal mistake in feeling that we are secure without a struggle. The Dudley-Quay-Clarkson combination, liberally aided' by the beneficiaries of the McKinley monstrosity, are arranging to throw all their strength and stratagem into Indiana. They must be met and defeated. Perfect polls should be taken In every precinct; every doubtful voter who can be honorably persuaded to vote the democratic ticket, should be seen at ones. J Local advisory committees of ten or more in each of the several precincts should be formed and meetings held frequently until the day of election. Each man, whether a member of the committee or not, should go to work. “Eternal vigilance is the price of libertyand organization, quick, close and universal, is the only thing now which can save the calamity of a republican victory. < Indiana is against the tariff robbers; against the force hill; opposed to the centralization of power; dissatisfied with the administration and the republican policy generally. In short Indiana is democratic, but only so when thei party is aroused, organized and at the polls.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS

After Panging the McKinley Outrage. The first session of the fifty-first congress closed Oct 1. Its record is one of most brutal indifference to constitutional rights and popular interests. The force bill iniquity, elsewhere given in all its enormity, and the McKinley high-tax-robber-tariff bill are among its most terrible examples of damnable legislation. The force bill, in effect, takes all power of popular election from the people and puts it absolutely in the hands of the aristocratic money power of the country. The McKinley bill raises the average tax on necemtm from 47 to 60 per cent. Inquire how to fix vour ballot. Leave your lead pencils at home. Bury the tariff robber deep, deep, deep. Vote' for Green Smith, the people’s friend. Every democrat will recognize the “rooster.” - ■ —— -■■ ■ ’ - t • The way to vote is to vote the straight democratic ticket Vote your judgment; partisan hatred does not pay mortgages. A vote for the democratic ticket is a vote against the tariff robber. Stamp the little square opposite the head of the ticket you wish to vote. A “rooster” is the democrat emblem and is at the top of every democratic ballot. 'The safe way is to vote the straight ticket. No democrat can afford this year to scratch. The man who scratches and fails to get it right may lose his whole ticket. The safe way is to vote etraight. Stamp the little square opposite the heading “Democratic Ticket” and let it go in. Don’t fool about scratching. See your county chairman, who has or will have samples of the new election ballot, and learn exactly how to vote. If you are in doubt about how to stamp yopr ticket, inquire of your county chairman, the judge or your precinct committeeman. __ The tariff robber is on trial; the consumers are jurors; the testimony of his guilt is conclusive.

STATE TICKET

Nominated The Democrat*—Sketehea of ?- \ the Men. JOSEPH A. 6. MITCHELL. , - Judge Joseph A. S. Mitchell, the gentleman who received the high compliment of an nnanimous renomination to the office of supreme judge, which he has so ably filled for the past six years, is a native of Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood, and alter receiving an education in one of the best colleges in the East, entered upon the study ot law, and when admitted to practice was recognized as one of the brightest young attorneys in that state. He came to Indiana just before the war, and when a call was made for volunteers he enlisted in a cavalry regiment and served nearly four years, during which time he was promoted to the rank of captain of cavalry for gallantry in action. Upon his return from the army he resumed the practice of his profession, and has ever since held a high position among his associates, who esteem him not alone for his wide knowledge of the law, but for his many excellent traits of character. He was married soon after the war to MissJelfries, daughter of a prominent citizen of Goshen and of the state. He never aspired to political preferment, but in 1884, when the democracy of Indiana sought a man who would fill the position of supreme judge with credit to the Btate and honor to his party,it instinctively turned to him, and that he has proven himself all they thought him to be, is evidenced in his renomination. A prominent republican politician and attorney of Kokomo, Judge Blacklidge, speaking of him, said: “There is a man whom I consider embodies all that is honorable in a man and politician. No difference what may be the nature of the case it becomes his duty to pass upon, whether political or otherwise, his decisions -have always been fair and just, in accordance with the best construction of the law/'

CLAUDE MATTHEWS. Farmer Claude Matthews of Vermillion county, the democratic nominee for secretary of state, was bom in Bath cohoty, . Kentucky, Dec. 14, 1845, and is therefore in his forty-fifth year. In our sister state of the South Mr. Matthews was reared a farmer, though at an early age he was sent to Center college, the university of Kentucky, from which he graduated inlß6B. Mrs. Matthews was the only child of Gov. Whitcomb. They moved to Vermillion county in 1869, and immediately took up the occupation of farming, which he baß actively followed ever since. In the fall of 1877 he was elected to the state legislature, overcoming a large republican majority and having the honor of being the first democrat elected from that county. Again in 1882 Mr. Matthews made the race for state senator when be succeeded in reducing the republican majority fro nr 900 to 300. In 1880 he was a candidate for the nomination of the office of lieutenant-governor, but was cotii pelted to give way in the demand for Gray. He has been a life-long democrat and farmer and his nomination as a candidate on the state ticket is due to those facta He is a fluent speaker and a cordial man to all who know him aud is undoubtedly a popular inan in both % these respects. He is prominently connected with the Farmers’ alliance movement, being president of that organization in his own county. His interests and sympathies are in full accord with the farmers of the state, whose true friend he is and always has been. Mr. Matthews is a pleasing and fluent speaker, and feels confident that the reforms sought for by his people can be best and quickest obtained through the democratic party.

JOHN O. HENDERSON.

John Oscar Henderson of Kokomo, the nominee for auditor of state, was born in Howard county forty years ago. He received his primary education in the public schools of Kokomo. After finishing the high school course there he entered DePauw university, from which institution he graduated in 1872. Upon leaving college he returned to Kokomo and at once adopted journalism as bis chosen profession, and in which he has been actively engaged up to the present time. Mr. Henderson is now editor and proprietor of the Kokomo Dispatch, a democratic journal of recognized ability and influence all over the state. He has always taken an active working interest in politics, and has done a great deal for the success of democracy in state politics. Deserved honors have showered about Mr. Henderson without ceasing for a number of years. He has been chairman of the democratic central Committee of Howard county for years, and is now a member of the executive committee of the democratic state committee. He is an ex-president of the democratic editorial association of Indiana, and in 1885 was appointed internal revenue collector for the Eleventh district by President Cleveland and held the office until it passed out of existence, in 1887. Mr. Henderson’s home relations are very pleasant. He has a wife three children. He is most sanguine of success for democracy in the coming election. ALBERT GALL. * The name of Albert Gall, though widely known throughout the state, is almost constantly before the citizens of Indianapolis and vicinity, in connection with deeds and Workings in the interest of the city and state. Prominent Si affairs of Indianapolis and foremost among her citizens, as he has made himself invaluable as a citizen and business man. Albert Gall was born in Green Bay, Wis., in 1842. During the year 1847 his father, Dr. A. D. Gall, removed his family to Indianapolis to reside, and from here in 1852 Dr. Gall was sent to Antwerp as U. S. consul under Pierce’s administration, remaining there there until 1858, having served two years in Buchanan’s term. Albert Gall went West to seek his fortune, going as far as California, where he experienced those ups and downs that were common to the early settlers of that country. Mr. Gall came back to ' this state in 1864, and went into the employ of J. and G. Krause, carpet and wall-paper dealers. It was but a short time before the name of Albert Gall was placed as a partner in the firm’s title, one of the Krauses having sold his interest to his employe. In this business Mr. Gall has prospered until his well-known house is patronized throughout the state. Though the name of Mr. Gall has frequently been mentioned by his friends as a candidate for nomination to several public offices, he has always refused to accept a nomination, and as a candidate for treasurer of state he came before his party in his first request for favor or office. He has been a democrat all his life and since 1860 has always been found in the democratic ranks working for the cause of the party and his friends. As a member of the Commercial club and the board of trade he has been ‘ nsl V Audi

'county, where he still resides. Without relatives or friends, as a hoy, he began life, and for years struggled along amidst many adversities, but through indomitable energy steadily forged his way to the front, .and in 1870 was admitted to ttie bar of his county, where he has since continued in the practice of his profession. No lawyer of southern Indiana s enjoys a higher reputation as a practitioner or has been a more thorough student of the law. As expressed feeterday by a professional friend: “Green mith makes as determined and intelligent a fight for a client as he does for his party, and few men in Indiana win more hard legal battle*,than he.” As a democrat Mr. Smith has been actively and earnestly engaged in the success of his party in every campaign since 1868, and has a wide and* brilliant reputation as a speaker. In 1884 he was elected as a state senator from the counties of Jennings and Jackson, running ahead of the ticket. In the senate he was made a member of the judiciary committee and took a very prominent part in. the debates of that body. At the close of the SDecial session he was chosen by his colleagues as president of the senate. Owing to the resignation of Gen, Manson as lieutenant-gov-ernor he succeeded to the duties of that office and presided over the memorable session of 1887, which elected David Turpie to the U.S. senate. It wasduring that session that Senator Smith showed himself tp be an excellent parliamentarian and a democrat of unflinching courage and ability. Gov. Hill in a speech once said: “In many of our western states it takes a million dollars to elect a U. S. senator, but iu Indiana it only takes the courage and ability of Green Smith.” Honesty, energy and ability will characterize this grand democrat in his fight for the ticket this fall. No one could create greater enthusiasm or give the excellent ticket named greater strength. There are very few, if any, more effective speakers in Indiana. He is eloquent, simple, direct, thoroughly informed, and exceedingly convincing. Though never abusive of his opponents, be presents questions of public interest with such force and clearness that he makes votes for his cause wherever he goes. He should speak in every county in the state.

ANDREW M. SWEENEY.

■ Andrew M. Sweeney of Jasper, Dubois county, the nominee for clerk of the supreme couo, is a native of Cincinnati, and is thirty-six years old. His early education was obtained by surmounting difficulties that would have appalled a less zealous youth. His father was a contractor, and at a very early age young Sweeney was put to work driving a cart for a railroad construction company. Not until he bad arrived at the age of fifteen did he obtain the first rudiments of an education. He rapidly acquired a thirst for knowledge, and going to Illinois he entered a Erivate school at Teutopolis in ,1864, where e remained three years, evincing great proficiency in the classics. After leaving Teutopolis he spent a year in St Meinard’s college, Spencer county, Indiana, graduating therefrom in the classical course. Mr. Sweeney’s taste for the classics has earned him an enviable reputation as a linguist. He speaks high and low German, French and Irish, as well as the English language and has a classical knowledge of Latin and Greek. After teachingone year in the ungraded schools of Dubois county he was chosen principal of the Jasper high school in 1874 and held that position for the succeeding seven years, later being nominated and defeated in 1886 with the rest of the ticket in the race for state superintendent of public instruction. In 1881 he was elected superintendent of the Dubois county schools and served in that capacity for eight years. One year ago Mr. Sweeney began the practice of law in Jaspen in partnership with John L. Bretz, the Second district’s nominee for congress. He has been actively engaged in politics since 1876, and has done much in aid of the democratic party. In 1878 he married Miss Helen E. Knebler of Jasper, and has three children—boys—each of whom he thinks is a promising democrat. Mr. Sweenev thinks the political outlook is of the best, and that he, as well as the rest of the ticket, will be elected in November. HARVEY D, VORIES.

Harvey D. Vories of Franklin, Johnson county, the nominee for superintendent of public instruction, is a native Hoosier and a self-made man. He was born on a farm in Johnson county Aug. 27,1855, &nd received his early education' at district schools, working through the summer months at farm and railroad work. At the age of nineteen young Vories, through his own indomitable efforts, entered Valparaiso normal college and after five years of hard study graduated in 1880 in the scientific and classical courses of that institution. Shortly after leaving college he was appointed superintendent of the Trafalgar public schools and served in that capacity so faithfully that he was soon called to assume the superintendency of the Franklin city schools. In 1885 he was elected superintendent of Johnson county schools and has held that office continuously until the present time. Mr. Vories is a thorough educator, baying had experience in all branches of school work and Lb in every way amply qualified to fill the position he will undoubtedly be elected to assume next November. Mr. Vories is confident not only of his own election, but of the entire democratic ticket nominated. He is a handsome man just entering the prime of life, and his wife, a charming woman, who took a lively interest in her husband’s canvass, helped to entertain visitors about headquarters. PROP. 8. 8. GOBBY, . Nominated for state geologist, is'a native of Dearborn county, and is about fifty years of age. In 1887 he became assistant to State Geologist Maurice Thompson. Two years later, upon the resignation of Thompson, Prof. Gorby was appointed state geologist by Gov. Gray, and he was subsequently elected by the legislature. He has brought the experience and study of a life-time to the duties of this office, and in a few years, has given it a greatlyincreased prominence and importance among the scientists of the country.

TWO PRICES.

How the Indiana Farmer is Swindled. Under (toe Republican Tariff-Extract From Senator Voorhce*' Speeoh In ttw Soonte, Sept. 3. How dares the American manufacturer compel the American farmer to pay him $65 for a mower which ho sells in South America for S4O, or S9O for a feed-cutter which he sells in the Argentine Republic for S6O? The following table discloses in brief space the increase of prices in the protected home market, where the farmer is compelled to buy, over the natural and honest prices of the same articles in foreign markets, where it has no protection and needs none:

THE TRUTH ABOUT “JERRY."

The Republican*’ Infamon* Gerrymander. ] Republican speakers and newspaper organs are making as much ado as possible over what they term a democratic gerrymander of the*, state. They insist that people vote the republican ticket to secure a “fair apportionment,” as they style it. Well, the last time the republicans were in a majority when the state was to be apportioned was in 1873. They then fixed up the most infamous gerrymander the state ever saw. It was the law for sijt years, and under it at the election of 1876,' while the state went democratic by nearly six thousand, the republicans elected nine out of the thirteen congressmen. In other words, afrthat election 53,000 democrats were necessary to electa* member of congress, but 23,000 republicans could elect one; 207,000 republican votes elected ninety-two members of the general assembly, while 213,000 democratic votes were only able to elect fifty- ] eight members. The same men who voted for and approved this outrage are at present around bowling against the present fair apportionment.

REPUBLICAN SCHEMES.

THE DUDLEY-QUAY-MICHENER GANG Hope to Dnw Away Enough Democratic Farmers to Elect a Republican to the United State* Senate. t The farmers of Indiana will study long before they support any alliance-republi-can combination ticket. The despairing leaders of the g. o. p., with Michener in charge, begun eight months ago the labor of sotting in motion a movement which should result in the farmer organizations selecting tickets in. democratic counties j over the state, where such a step would naturally be to their advantage. It is a trick, a snare. It will be observed, too, that in no county in the state has the republican party indorsed the farmer movement where they have a clear majority; and also that they have indorsed no Farmer alliance candidate for the legislature in any county who has not been a republican heretofore and stands committed to vote for the republican caucuß nominee for the U. S. senate. A democrat who would he led into such a political pitfall needs a guardian, and all farmers who do not approve of the high-tax-robber-tariff, the force bill, the record of republican extravagance which shows a deficiency of $80,000,000, and other reckless legislation, should steer clear of all side shows and vote the straight democratic ticket.

ANSWERING ITSELF.

A Republican Newspaper In tl»e Great Act of Swallowing Itself. The Chicago "Herald" on the Chicago "Tribune." The spotted Chicago Tribune now finds itself engaged in a political campaign end it is, therefore, strenuously in favor of a monopoly tariff, which it advocates with all the false and foolish “arguments” that play so important a part in the maintenance of every great wrong. In its issue of yesterday, referring to Roger Q. Mills of Texas, who is not more of a freo trader than is the Tribune itself when no election is pendlpg, it says: Mr. Mills hae been frank enough. He haa told the people of Wisconain that it la the intention of bis democratio party to substitute | for a protective tariff a “tariff for revenue only.” That change would olose avery American factory or mill and bring the Wages of the men employed in them and every other kind of businesa done in olttes and town* down to the European atandord, Are the Wisconsin vdteri quite ready for that obange ? , Let us secure an answer to this folly and falsehood from the Tribune itself. On the sth of May, 1888, it said: The lowest wages paid In this country for labor at ail skilled are m Industries having protection, and none at them pay any more than the market rate for labor, while alt strive to ap. propriate the entire tariff bounty to themselvel and give workmen no share. On the 11th of February, 1888, the Tribune said: In point of fact protected workmen ore the poorest paid town laborers in the United states, and the more highly protected the factories are the less the wages. \ On the 6th of January, 1888, the Tribune

said: > 1 New England has two strongly distinguished classes of population—tarirt-proteoted monopolists and ooupon-ollppers so rich that they don t know how to spend their money, and pauper faotory hands who never get a oent e worth of protection out of the tend. The Herald might multiply these quotations almost without number, but the above will suffice. A campaign is on, Jim Blaine has winked and bis servitors in all parts of the country have put their consciences to sleep. The monopolies are to be saved again, and the Chicago Tribune is foremost in the fight in their behalf.

"Ben’s" Relatives Get Office.

Shortly after his inauguration, President Harrison laid down the rule that the only way to get satisfaction out of a publie office is to please yourself while in it. Here is the family list of appointments, revised to date, and indicutes one way Brother Ben is "pleasing himself and “getting satisfaction” out of the office. A very rich list this is: 1.
