regard the* National an the natural allies of the Democrats.—Gautte. Jerusalem, that so? The Gazette has abused, bemeaned. belittled, throwed mud on, Hpil in the fare of, and kicked the National party, as no wild bull ever tore up the ground. But all thi.s was mild work in comparison with this last insult. "We regard the Nationals an the nutur al allies of the Democrats."

A VEKY rapid piece of Congressional work was the passage of the resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to loan 500 teuts, or an many of tbem a» may be neceaaary, to the houseless sufferers by the recent cyclone in Missouri. The resolution was passed by the House, enroUeu. signed by the speaker, sent to the Sonate. passed by that body, gent to the President and signed, all within three hours.

TUK Democratic City Council paid on the floating debt last year $10,000, and that too after reducing the peoples taxes eight cents on the hundred dollars taxable property.—Gazette.

TITK Democratic Council made a reduction of the taxes of the people last year of five cents on each one hundred dollars' yrorth of taxable property. Democrats practice the economy they preach.— Ga telle.

We presume if the Gaaette had shot off another squib about Democratic economy there would have been no reduction at all. Why don't the "Ring" organ tell the un washed hordes about the 1,000 extra attorney fees and render an account of the damage done in the Are department look after the odorless machine and several oilier tilings we could mention among them Miller's Judgment against Boleg. This is eqnnomy for you. 'j a m... -i- -su .uu-i

Under a Democratic city government the gavel of the Mayor and the chairs upon which the Councilmen sit were excuted for debt, and city orders sold at 85 cents. Tlio Are department Existed only is name, and the police department was laughing stock ail over the country.

Exchange. How like T#rre Haute the above sounds. Suppose that we just apply it to our municipal government, and sec how It fits. The city gavel handled by Havens is mortgaged, with the chairs the councllmen sit on. the city has been compelled to borrow money to feed the "ring gang," which ts slowly but surely eating away the very vitals of our home government, its resources are promiscuously scattered among the ring.lawyers and pot house politicians until we are almost upon the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Tl»# Police department exists, does it not but for what purpose docs it per form the duties for which that department was originated, namely guard and protect the interests the city the interests of every Individual alike without respect to political distinction, and within the scope of the law as cnacted by the people we answer no, emphatically no. It is prostituted to the fullest extent of the word. It only exists for a purpose. That purpose is sinister one, and only acts for the benefit of a clique of demagogues who are like ravenous wolves, seeking to devour ami destroy the purity of our elections, for we see them at every poll in the city threatening and inUmkhtting dtiten voters at every turn. They are the tool* of the ring, and only to be used by the "ring.** The fire Department.—O' good Lord deliver us! this ts the laughing stock of the country and the great scait^row.and terror fof the property holders of this cHy. We have no fire department, and were a ptn« box to be set on ftw in front of the whole department it would bum up before it could be txtingubhed

WHAT the Democratic party needs now is complete deliverance from tricksters aid jobbers, Lf it does not get it this election, the last hope of Damocratic rule in this county and city is gpne,—Terre En uU ledger.

This is just the position the

NEWS

takes

in the matter. The city has a ring com. posed of the most unscrupulous dema goguee in the city men who will stoop to the most degrading things in the calender of political slum, and we ate indeed glad to see the Democratic ofgan of this county honest enough to admit that Democracy must get rid of their tricksters and jobbers. This is the spirit of all decent Democrats: it is the spirit in which all men without respect to party affiliations view the political field, and it is with this view that ail good men will cast their ballots next Tuesday. What protection can a city have in a police force whose members devote their whole time on election day to bull-dozing men to vote the Democratic ticket. What protection can the people of this city claim when members of the police force drag poor, half-starved tramps from prison and make them either vote the Democratic ticket or wear the flesh from their hands on tbe stone pile? The present Democratic officials say to the criminal: Vote the Democratic ticket and you shall be free. Vote the Republican ticket, if yon dare! This is the kind of an administration the people of Terre Ilaute have been living under for years, and they now demand a change.

We believe the people will rally on next Tuesday to the Republican fold and that the Republican party will completely deliver the people from these tricksters and robbers. It cannot be done by electing Democrats, because no sooner will th«y be elected than John Exodus, Ben Havens, Jake White and their politi cal sheet, the Gazette, will bulldoze them into an early submission aud then the poor widow can get ready to sell her cow to pay taxes assessed against her to pay a judgment which some "nigger" may get against a policeman for violation of law.

Do the poor and oppressed men of this city want such a Council? If you don't, you must vote the Republican ticket.

FOK the past few days the Gazette has manifested a very lygli regard for the Nationals which is very much at various with the attitude it assumed a few months ago, when it asserted that the "brain and respectability"' of the National party had left it, and it therefore advised the party to disband. This insulting language was used about the very men it now seeks to blather. Then the Gazette wanted the National party disband because it hoped that if It did, the disbanded members would flock into the Demacratie camp. As it didn't exactly disband, the Gazette now urges the Nationals to put a liekt t. in the Held and support it, as it conceives that by so doing, the Republican party may be somewhat damaged, we don't beliove there is a National in the city so obtuse not to see the sinister motive bethe Gazette* attitude a few months ago and the attitude it occupies now.

IN comparing the statements of the fixprett and Gazette on the city finance question, we find a large difference in their figures. We, however, can easily account for the Gazette'* errors. He once appeared as an attorney in a justice's court in this city in which there was some narrow cot-ton-edging in ^controversy, worth l}4 Cents per yard. The great lawyer. Now the editor of the Gazette picked up the edging and said with great "gusto:" These goods are very valuable, worth 75 cents a yard, and tried to have the witness swear to his price set on the goods. His figures on Democratic economy arc in accordance with his* statement about the price of the edging.

YOU KNOW

To tb« Editor of iXc Ledger: How much does the Ledger nay for editorial articles. Would bo glad to be come a contributor if I can make arrangements with you. Address

The price varies with the nature of the case. The Ledger one time paid about

100 for a 80 line article. It censured the ouncil and Benny Havens for the Chicago and 8t Louis excursion at Presl*s expense. The city adver(lj

Chicago and dent Martin' tisements were withdrawn. And still the article was worth every dollar of the money to the Ledger. Oh! Yes! the price varies in the nature of the awe. How are you, odorless*—

Terrt Haul* Ledger.

The trouble friend Ledger is that you are not the organ of the "Ring. You are the only Democratic organ in the county, and because you censured the Council and Lawyer Havens for the Chicago excursion steal, the Ring at once withdrew its patronage and lavished it upon the hybrid organ.

We see a laf ge number of favorable notices going the rounds of the press, for W. R. MeKeen, of Ten* Haute, as a candidate for Governor. "While we are not in the business of making candidates, we can cordially second the effort to put Mr. MeKeen on the ticket, and believe he could carry the State as against any Democrat who might be run against him. —Br*s& K*t*rprim —Ex-senator Barnum is supposed to be the guide philosopher, and friend of the Democratic parly in Connecticut The ex ^notor believfcs IB tT*cle Sammv Til* ikn as fervently as he does in heave®.
