Democratic Sentinel, Volume 14, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 October 1890 — STAMP WHAT YOU VOTE. [ARTICLE]

STAMP WHAT YOU VOTE.

“You stamp what yon vote.” That is all there is to the new election law touching the ticket for the voter. There is no mystery, intricacy, vagueness nor puzzlement about it. If you want to vote a “straight” ticket you “place the stamp on the square preceding the title under which the candidates for such party are grouped." [Election law, sec. 45. | That is, you simply stamp the blank space at the side of ‘‘Repubiican ticket,” or “Democratic ticket/ or “Prohibition ticket,” as you may wish. If you want to vote a straight ticket, all but one man, yon stamp that ticket at the head just as for a straight ticket, and then stamp the place at the name of the man on the other ticket for whom you want to vote.—lndianapolis News,

Howard Burr, of Jordan township, and Asa Tyler, of Keener township, have been aware for weeks that they were the nominees of the People’s party for Commissioners Third and First districts re spectively. Now, at the twelfth hour they decline the positions on the ticket tendered them with very great indigna. ti n Their cards of declination appear in the Republican, for which paper they were solely and alone intended The de. clinations are undoubtedly made in the interest of the Republican nominees for Commissioner. We trust and suggest that the members of the People’s party, who would have, in good faith, voted for Burr and Tyler, sit down on the little game and stamp the little squares to the left of the names of the Democratic nom. nees—George 0. Stembel and James H. Green. In the language of an old Republican “it would prove a mighty fine thing for the county to have a politically divided Board of Commissioners. Po. litical division is most generally a remedy against whitewashing processes." Nat. S. Bates proved himself an accommodating, faithful and efficient postmaster. He would carry with him into the office of Auditor all these desirable characteristics. * Vote the Democratic State Ticket without a scratch—stamp on the little squu r to the loft of the title. A better ticket haa never been presented for your suffrages.

The Republican has for some time been snapping and snarling at a number of the citizens of Remington, and of Carpenter townsship, and this week gets of the following sneer at our beautiful little sister town: Dr. Patton, the Democratic c .ndjdate for Congress, is undoubtedly a goodenough village doctor and also a pleasant and accommodating neighbor;" etc All the same, Dr. Patton ranks high in his profession, is held in high esteem by the entire community in which he resides and Remington will have the honor of furnishing the next Congressman for the Tenth District. — , The United States Senate, fearing the people, refused to act ou the infamous Force bill which passed the lower House, but it is only waiting to near from the people. Ou Tuesday next vote for Patton, and by so doing give the quietus to a measure calculated to keep one party in power in spite of the protests of the people. Vote for Harrington for Clerk. Ho is a worthy young man,well qualified for the position, and, if elected, will perform the duties of tho office in a satisfactory manner. Vote for Lee E. Glaazobrook for Representative in the Legislature. He is a well informed, educated farmer. He is one of the masses, his sympathis are with them, and if e ected he will devote his attention to legislation m their interest.— His opponent, Mr. Parker, is a banker, his sympathies are with that class, and he will, if elected, support all measures that will have a tendency to promote the interests of the money-getters. Honest, old Dave Culp, for Senator.— His countenance betokens that he is one of the people, and that their interests could not be entrusted to safer hands.— Vote for him!

For Judge and Prosecutor, William Darroch and Frank Davis, are presented. They are well qualified for the positions to which they have been nominated and are worthy a cheerful and hearty support. W illiam Ventling, for Sheriff, is most highly esteemed by those who know him best, and his immediate’neighbors regard him as the proper man for the position for which he has been named. You will make no mistake in voting for him. It is hardly necessary to say a word for Dr. VictorE. Loughridge, for Coroner.— He is a young man reared in our midst, and- his professional duties have from time to time brought him in contact with most of the people. If elected, he will perform the duties of the office satisfactorily. For Commissioners, George 0. Stembel, Ist District, and James H. Green, 9d District, are presented as honest, firstclass business men. There is a growing sentiment in favor of politically dividing the Board of Commissioners in the interest of county affairs. On Tuesday next an,opportunity will be afforded to carryjout the proposition. Stamp on the squares to the left of the names of George O. Stembel and James H. Green, and it will be all right.
