REPUBLICANISM REBUKED.

We commend the Legislature for refusing to a opt Governor Hovey’t leoommendation to inoreasa the State levy from 12 cents to 25 cents on the SIOO, and for meeting the necessary expenses of the State’s benevolent institutions by a levy of 6 cents on the SIOO. We denounoe the infamous conspiracy of the Repnblioan oounty commissioners, township trustees and other officials of Indiana, who, for the purpose of oreating unfair prejudice against toe new tax law, have wantonly and needlessly inore/ased the looal taxes, in the forty-six counties controlled by them, more than one million twohundred and fifty thousand dollars—a sum gieater than the total increase of the state taxes in the enlire state. We call on the taxpayers of those counties to rebuke at the polls these local officials, who have put this needless and oppressive burden upon the people.—Extract from Demooratio State Platform.
