REPUBLICANISM REBUKED.

We eommend theLegislature'for refusing to a lopt Governor Hovey’s leoommendation to increase the State levy from 12 eents to 25 cent! on the SIOO, and for meeting the necessary expenses of the State’s benevolent institutions by a levy of 6 oents on the SIOO. We denounce the infamous conspiracy of the Republican county commissioners, township trustees and other officials of Indiana, who, for the purpose of creating unfair prejudice against tee new tax law, have wantonly and needlessly increased the looal taxes, in the forty-six counties controlled by them, more than one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars—a sum gieater than the total increase of the state taxes in the entire state. We call on the taxpayers of those counties to rebuke at the polls these local offioials, who have put this needless and oppressive burden upon the people.—Extraot from Demooratio State Platform.
