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.

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.
