Democratic Meeting

CUDOE MATTHEWS, The eloquent Farmer, and Demooratio candidate for Secretary of State, and HON. J. E. M’CULLOUGH, ex-Senator from Posey and Gibson, will address the people of Jasper eounty at RENSSELAER, TUESDAY, Oot. 28, at 1 o’clookp, m. Come, everybody! and hear a practical farmer disonss the issnes of the day from a farmor’s standpoint DAVID W. SHIELDS, ChairmanStamp on the square to the left of the title of the ticket | dem I if you wish it straight—if a ‘mix’ stamp the square loft of the nemo you desire to vote.

STAMP WHAT YOU VOTE. “You stamp what yon vote.” That is all there is to the new eleotion law touching the ticket for the voter. There is no mystery, intricacy, vagueness nor puzzlement about it. If you want to vote a straight” tioket you "place the stamp on the square preceding the title under whioh the candidates for suoh party are grouped. [Election law, seo. 45.] That is, you simply stamp the blank spaoe at the side of Republican tioket," or "Demoorotic ticket, or “Prohibition ticket," as you may wish. If you want to vote a straight ticket, all but one man, you stamp that tioket at the headjustasfor a straight ticket, and then stamp the plaoe at the name of the man on the other ticket for whom you want to vote.—lndianapolis News,

INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS. First. You must get your ballots of the polling clerks in the election room. Second. If you want to vote a straight ticket, stamp lho square to the loft of the name of the party for whose candidates you wish to vote. If you wish to vote for a candidate not. on the tioket of your par, ty, then in addition to stamping the square to the left of tho title of yourparty/stamp the square to;the left of the name ofjeaoh candidate for whom you desire to vote. Third. Do not mutilate your ballot or mark it either by scratching a name off or writing one on, or in any other way, except by the stamping on the square or squares, as before mentioned. Otherwise the ballot will not be counted. Fonrth. If you do not understand how to mark your ballots, ask the poll olerks, If vou cannot read English or are physically unable to mark your ballot, ou your request, the poll clerk will mark it for you. Fifth. If, by accident or mistake, yon tear mutilate, deface or spoil your ballot, go at once to the poll clerks and explain how the accident occurred, return the ballot to them and ask for another.

DOES MISLEADING JOURNALISM PAY? Editor Sentinol: The very learned editor of the Republican, in commenting upon the People’s Convention held in Rensselaer, Oct. Bth, 1890, published an article so misleading thst it should merit for him the condemnation of all truth-loving and liberty-loving people wherever found.— The article is wholly at varianoe with the facts in the premises as all who took part in the conventien oan testify. The farmers and wage-workers will no longer submit to the galling and oppressive yoke of money slavery sought to be perpetuated by the money power of gambling Wall street, and this is the extent of their offending. We donot fear the result when the truth is told, but the little, whining defender and supporter of Wall street methods seeks to mislead the publio and indulges in statements that are far from the truth, and of this we have a perfect right to oomplan. Mr. Marshall says primarily the movement was gotten np for the benefit es Mr. Nichols; seoodarily for the benefit of certain Democratic candidates, which Marshall should know is a fabrication—an invention of his own imagination. Bros. Nichols, Harrington and Ventling had not been considered in open allianee, in any lodge in Jn per county, as probable candidates on the People’s ticket. « Mr. Editor: Marshall misrepresented us in his statements concerning our nomina•tions. I requested him to accord me the privilege of replying to his article, in the Republican, which he refused, so I send this to you, respectfully asking that you give it space in your paper. Respectfully, FRANK J. GANT. Kniman, Ind., Oct. 17, 1890.

The withdrawal of Mr. Tillett from the Democratic ticket as candidate for Treasurer; the efforts of in the interest of their personal mend and neighbor, Dr. Patton, for Congress, | and his uncertainty as to how far-reaching the People’s movement may extend, causes our neighbor to prance about this week like a spider on a hot griddle.

The attendance at the Demooratio meeting addressed by Hon. A. M. Sweeney, in the Court House, last Saturday, was double as large as that of any republican meeting held in Rensselaer this campaign. Mr. Swooney made a gpod impression.

Bro. Marshall says that Mr. Sweeney was on the Democratic ticket two years ago for State Superintendent of Kublio Instruction, (lie No. 1. as ha was not on the ticket two years ago;, and ran about 8,000 behind his ticket, on account of his hostility to the public school system, whioh is lie No. 2. He was defeated for the position named four years ago, and was immediately returned by his county to the

office he had creditably filled for many years, that of County Superintendent.- - Our neighbor needs to be posted.

The MoKinley bill is already bearing fruit to the discomfort of the Republican party. Wholesalers and jobbers are send* mg their circulars to customers announc* lug advancing prices, and attributing the cause to tne MoKinley bill. Mr. Feole, a republican orator, told a small audience at this plaoe one night last week that the sending of the circulars was a Demooratie triok. Wanamaker and other republioan leaders, however, would hardly lend • helping hand to a Demooratio device.

Mrs. Harrison wont shopping to Balti. more the other day, and got mad at the olerks for explaining that the increased grice of goods was due to the MoKinley Meala 25 cents, at Kings. A new danghter at Sam Duvall’s Mat Saturday. A good meal at Sing’s restaurant, opposite the court house. ' A young Demoorat at the home of Staph, Protzman, Wednesday. Try us onoe, and be oonvinoed. J. W. King. The Womens’ Relief Corps will give a dinner on eleotion day, Nov. 4th, at 0. A. Roberts' store room. Fresh Fish and Oysters, eveiy Friday, at King's. The ladies of the M.

Warren Robinson and John Byan have purchased the grooery store of Paxton Jt Moore P. &M. contemplate engaging Im the wholesale lumber business at Hammond. If you doubt it, just ask some of tho many that eat at King's, as to the kimd of a meal he gives. A meeting of a number o* our citizens was held at the court home la- v 'ight to hear and oonslder propositions ' tho etablishment of a cab factory at Ms point.

The repairing shop in the rear of the Rensselaer Bank, Novels Blaek, wag the scene of a small conflagration last Friday. Supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. But little dam age was sustained. Clothing for the thousand at the GbL oago Bargain Store. The opening of the creamery last Monday was a big event in Rensselaer. There was a big crowd, and Alf. McCoy fed them them all. Albert Parker got the bat for furnishing largest supply of milk. And now the people are prepared to talk cannery. J. N. ON THE 27th. J. N. will lift the veil next Monday night at the Oonrt Honse. The philosooher, J.
