IT IS GROVER.

New York, New Jersey, Oonnecticutt, Illinois, California, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and the Sol. id South reliably Democratic, and Mr. Cleveland is elected by a sweeping majority. The Democratic State ticket is elected by a handsome majority. The Legislature is Democratic, which insures the re-election of Senator furpie to the U. 8. Senate. Latest reports indicate the elec** tion of Mr. Hammond. It defeat' ed, certain Democrats m this county who threw their votes away on Mr. Yeoman may derive all the consolation there i i m thus aiding in the election of the Republican Candida's.!

Remember the Grand Democratic Jubilee Saturday night, Jud. Hunt, democratic candidate for Recorder pulled through all right. We will give the official returns next week. Now let our friends bring on the wood promised us. We need it.

Jesse Roberts, of Chicago, was in Rensselaer, Sunday. J. W. Powell and W. W. Watson came from Washington City to vote the republican ticket. On their * next visit to this place they will i robably make a prolonged stay. R. W. and G. E. Marshall went to Will county, 111., Thursday, to attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Mary Overacker. Misses Elizabeth and Julia Smith will spend the winter with relatives at Kuttawah, Ky. H. B. Murray has moved into his new residence on Kannal st. Our publication of the republi - can petition far ehction supervisors, week before last, reversed the proposition. They had none. Chase’s “imps of hell” played him out.

PROTECTION AND PINKERTONS.

Carnegie has two castles in Scotland, • fort in Pennsylvania and a friend in the White House. He has astonished the nobility of Great Britain by the luxury which he displaya in Scotland with the money earned for him by American workmen in his steel industry, protected by Republican legislation and Pinkertons.—Fort Wayne Journal.

Will the Republican press continue to talk of “protection to American labor,’* while Carnegie who keeps Harrison in good Scotch whisky and the Republican party in needed campaign funds— is benefited millions of dollars worth by this “protective tariff,” continues to shut out his employes?—Delphi Times.

That rolling mills in this country occasionally outbid all foreign firms for European contracts, selling the product at much less than they sell the same in America. In spite of this they seek to still further enhance their profits by cutting wages of employes.—Hammond News. Just as soon as their princely incomes are invaded, and Lord Carnegie’s castles in Europe are in need of cash for royal extravagances of the summer season, Sir Andrew will be inclined to call a halt. But can the toilers hold out till that time comes?—Shoals News.

Where Republicanism is a Tax.

The levy of six and one-half cents to pay off the state debt amounts to (8 ,871.79 in Johnson county. To relieve the people of this burden the tax law was devised to so equalize assessments; aa to make corporations pay their just proportion of revenue. Accordingly, railroads alone in'this county are taxed. $6,818.74 more than last year. This, together with the increase on telegraph property, and the revenue derived from property heretofore withheld from taxation, is about equal to the increased state tax, and one offsets tb* other as was intended by the general assembly. But the Republican officiate to the two townships and three corporations under their control have increased ths revenue $9,521.46 and. can give no reason for their action. Republicanism to a tax with a bix T.—Franklin Democrat-.
