lUtSDAY .MARCH 23, 19 Major Walker Ignored! At the Democratic Convention on Saturday night, not a word was said in comniendstion of Mayor Walkeb and the present Council. What is tli matter? Is it the intention of the party to deny all responsibility for the actions of these gentlemen?

' Are the peopla supposed to be such

jramps as not to be able to see through

. the pitiful dodge which seeks to divert

all responsibility for the actioos of tho administration last year by nomi nating new men? You are mistaken. gentlemen. You will have to face the mnsifl. Yv ask the Courier to an swer. Has Mayor Walker's Ad ministration for the past year been all that w4 nromised the people? A short answer is sufficient. Yes or no, The Courier copied Mr. Chand

' leb's card accepting the invitation to

become a candidate for Senator with markeJ satisfaction. We expected it would also copy his card withdrawing from the race, but somehow or other it fails to come to time. Did Mr, Chandler's eloquent remarks with reference to the purity and intelligence of the Democratic party prove too much for it? The Courier is not deal ing jastly with its readers in refusing to publish the retsons of so promi nent a politician as Mr. Chandler which determine him to vote for its candidates. ITE5IS FO TAX-PAYERS. Democi atic Pledges and How They Have Been Fulfilled. TUft Pledges Continued. One of the chief sources of com plaint with the Democracy in the city canvass last year, was, that Mayor Baker had given the street improve .meats to an "imported contractor." The following, which we clip from the Courier of April 1st, is a sample of what vui said with reference to that matter: Tax pa; .'3 can understand for ex ample that imported contractors are worth more than home con tractors; that "imported" workmen can do worse jobs lor better wages than can home workmen; that our worthy Mayor has expended the ma nicioal revenues and scattered "con detuned gravel" with lavish hand: that he has increased the value of city property by assessing it save in in stances where the owners were per sonally obnoxious or undeserving according to a metropolitan standard; that he has increased, as it were, by a tdogla stroke! of his pen, the value of the Loogworth Tract at least one hundred per cent.; that he has built, out of the abundant means at his command, a splendid edifice fur edu cational purposes which represents the cost of several good school-houses; and that recklessly indifferent to his own interest:, he has placed it in order that he may have it directly under his own eye in close proximity to property owned by himself. It is charged that " imported contractors" were given the preference over home contractors; that he had built fine school houses, and that he had increased the value of city property by assessiu it. How ha3 Mr. Walker improved matters, ia these '.' particulars? Have our street improvements been done by the same " imported contractor " who operated for Mayor Baker? How is it about the assessment of property? Has its value been made to increase by assess ing it? It is for the Courier to answer. In this same number of the Courier we' find a report of a Democratic meeting iu the Sixth Ward, which nominated John A. Reitz for the Council. That gentleman, in accepting tue nomination, gave me loiiow fag pledge : I shall, if elected, attend to your interests as well as my own, and do all in my power to advance the pros perity of this city." We frankly admit that this pledge, especially that portion of it referring to his own interests, has been fulfilled ' to the letter. -This fact is familiar to every voter in the city. On Tuesday evening, March 31st, a ' Democratic meeting was held in La ma9co. Mayor Walker was present and made a speech, from which the followiug is an extract, as we cut it from the Courier's report: Some one had charged that Mr. Walker was no a free school man. In reference to this Mr. W. said, he had expended as much money and attention to the matter of schools and churches as any man in the city, and that, if elected, he would not confine his labors to the advantage of one section or community or denomitation, to the exclusion of another; that when he became Mayor of Evansville, Lumaseo would not suffer for want of a school house; that the present Mayor knew nothing of the wants of that part of the city was too busily ensaged in other sections just now. It , had been suggested that under, the present auspices, two Mayors were ' coiessary one for the rich man and one for the poor man ; that the present incumbent be allowed to remain wii ?3 he rich maa'8 Mayor; that Walker be instated as the poor man's Mayor. Mr. Walker thought he oould serve both to advantage. Is Lamaseo still suffering for want of a school house? Has Mayor Walker fulfilled that pledge? The report of the above meeting is headed "Light Taxes; Heavy Trade; i?Vee Schools." On Thursday night, April 2, there was a Democratic meeting at the Central Market House. We copy the following paragraphs from the Courier's report of that meeting. At an early hour last evening the Democracy of Evansville turned out to hear the workingman's candidate. Mr. Gavisk opened in a few well timed remarks, stating the object of the meeting, and introducing Mr. Walker, who entertained and instruct-

el his auditors wun a very accurate analysis of Mayor Baker's record.

i . r.i iThe very many dodges which the Council clique resorted to in order to deieat Mr. Walker's election were overhauled by the speaker, and exposed in their infamy. Every artifice is being resorted to to bund the voters of Evansville to their real interests, and deeds which would have called forth the denunciations of the most tyranized people in existence, wero resorted to for the purpose of retaining the power they , now hold, and have mo? t shamefully abused. After Mr. Walker had finished, Mr. John A. Reitz was introduced, and among other things, said: In regard to the assessments, the speaker said that the city of Evin3viile could not collect one dollar it it was contested, for it is illegal to have a sen-constituted Uouncu to assess your property for twice its valu. in or lit to Hi 1 their packets, and help to m:ik hue roads arouad lleuman s property. Ihe law requires an Assessor to do such duties, and that body which arroxat js to-itsclt the power or assess in the value of property at twice its valuation s corrupt, and oueht to be brought before the tribunal where poor as well a3 rich men s right3 are respected, mat body nas oeen in oowrr too Ion?, and the injustice which it has done can only be atorjeu for by its retirement from- public life, i'id donating their spjus to the pub lic good. lhis matter ot assessments on property is one to which we desire of to especially to call the attention of our readers, as we may have something more to say on that subject when we examine the assessments made by Mayor Walker and his Council of six. We copy two more paragraphs from the Courier of April 3d, 1868: Mr. Steele, the upper 6chool-house contractor, is runuiDg in tho Second Ward for Councilman. What ax has he to grind thi time-? Has he learned that Mr. Wulcer wis in favor of build inn a new school lutuse for the convenience of the people of Lumnsco ana wishes to be on handr It we recollect aright, he irot mora out of the city for building the upp;r school houso than his first contract, which "shows he is not behind his cotempo rary contractors ia modern financier111!.'. It is a question with certain irrit able tax piyers whether they have suffered more from "fancy " asess mants or from tho " condemned gravel." Soma of us the least obnoxiou?, of course have escaped the assess ment. but all of t-not excepting the Mayor are troSlcd more or les3 with "the gravel." His Honoris se riously affected. In the Courier of April 4th wo find the folio wing juicy paragraphs: mayor lator, the model unancier and shrewd manager of city alFiirs, stood by while Ii 3 wry wad oowlderm? First Street, and saw him violate the contract with every bowlder ha laid. without the slightest protest. Know ing that the contract had not been complied with, he allowed proparty holders to pay the contract price Tliis, fellow-citizens.is the way Mavor Biker has served, and, as he says in his speech, will serve your best in terests," and this is the way he " will work as hard to servo you as ever ha did." Voters who have paid Lowry large sunn ot money tor the bowldonnz ol streets, will not bo apt to forget, on flection day, that Mayor IJiker stood quiet'y by and saw them swindled without a word of remonstrance. In the Courier of April 5th, and repeated April Gtb, is a long article, which is ironically called a " Defence of Mayor Baker." From that arti si j we copy the following paragraph: Taxes. To our regret and mortification, loud complaints have been made, on account of tho so-called heavy taxes that the Mayor has been compelled to levy against our citizens. They claim that the expense of bowldining and graveling the streets, and of having alleys and sidewalks, during the last two years, amouutinr to the inconsiderable sum of about 1200.000, though not shown on the tax book?, is really a tax, and ono sensibly felt by those who have had the amount to pay. And, although the books may show that the taxes have been reduced, suy from $1 10 to $1 00 on the $100 of taxable, it has not afforded tho relief expected, since tho taxpayers have been compelled to pay more than double the tax at the re duccd per centage, compared with the amount they paid before this reduction was made. They cannot understand why, when the taxes are reduced, it should require more mosey to pay them. One citizen argues, far instance, that a few years ago he paid 10 tax for his house and lot, whereas now he is required to pay over $100 for the same property. If, by this reduction of the per centago, the amount of his tax is increased, he declares himself unable to see tho advantage gained by reducing it. But, here again we srep forward and assure such men that their arguments are scarcely worthy of being considered respectable sophistry. Is it not plain enough, that the only fair way of determining the amount of taxes a man has to pay, is to estimate tho rate "per voter," or on the " per centage on valuation?'" As we do not wish to deprive the Journal of haviog made this great discovery, we hereby give tho deserved credit to that print, which has proved itself so ready in figures, and we are even willing to acknowledge if desired, that its views, on this subject, may be considered respectable sophistry! From another article we select the following paragraph: , The Baker administration has dona much to crush the expanding energies of the city. An oppressive system of taxation, a corrupt and injudicious system of " improvement," and a blundering and extravagant financial policy, have curbed and confined the natural expansion of our commercial influence; and this, reacting as it necessarily would upon our social and educational interests, has not only diminished our " Trade," but has enormously increased our " Taxes," and as a necessary consequence even threatened the existence of our admirable system of "Free Schools." Who, then, will vote to continne this ruinous administration In power. From the same paper, also, the following paragraphs: For Councilmen. Our candidates k ouncilinen are gentlemen, while they are generally men of wealth, bega j LllV at the foot of the ladder," and by hard wcrk, honest efforts and untiring industry, elevated themselves to positions of influence, dignity and consideration They are all of that class who, like Mr. Walker, believe that the poor have rights as well as rich; and if elected, will see that the

laboring man, who MAKES capital, enjoys equal rights with the rich maa who uses it.

Working Men! Bear in mind that Mayor Baker and his partizans on the Council Board, have made it a point to import laborers from other cities instead of employing our own skillful and hard working mechanics. Voters of Evansville! Re member that Mayor Baker stood by and paw Lowry violate his contract with the city, and said not a. word against it! Remember that he made property -holders, hi3 own tellowCITlZENS, keep their part of the con tract to the letter, while he allowed Lowry, a citizen of Cincinnati, to violate his part of the agreement. Remember, NOW is the time to correct the mal-administration ot the lat nine vcars. VOTE that you may be free irom oisuy and useless improvements. That you may not be taxed more than once a year tor the same property. That vour children may not be EJECTED from the public schools because they agree with the politics of their parents! Light Taxes. Havt Trade and Free Schools. A Radical triumph in Evansville would be ruinous to the interests of the city. tA Democratic victory would estab lish ou a sound financial basis every interest or institution which contrib utes to the prosperity of the place or the happiness of the people. It would liehteri the burden ot taxation: it would open the streams of Southern commerce; it would estaDiisn upon an immovable foundat on our unrival ed system of Public Schools. The Rejection op Heilman Must be Emphatic! The election of (Jontractor ileilman, after the revelations made before the Committee or investigation, would reflect lastine discred it upon tho citizens of the Fifth Ward. But we indaize no such aprreheosion9. The honest voters of that Ward will bring to the honest Schriber that unquestioning support which His integrity claims andl'XilEia interest demands. Our Uouncilmen must be even "above euspicion. We merely stop to inquire if this is the same honest fechnber whose bill for superintending laborers in his Ward wa3 rejected time and asain bv his own Democratic associate?, and pass on: The Bakeii Dynasty must e Extinguished. De not fail to re mernoer. citizens, that it the iaxer interest should be sustained at tho election this day. it will be fixed upon yen forever. And it is necessa ry that Mayor liaker and his corrupt chaue shall not be merely u.leated, but that the verdict should be so de cided and pronounced that the hopes of corruption in this city shall become Til tLl J.ATliNUL. Ihe nn nunirv with which this abandoned cliaue has oppressed and robbed the people is beyoud all example in the history ot municipal government, its insolence and rapacity are without parallel. It shamelessly perpetrates the most intolerable enormities, and with equal eifrontry, seeks to make a merit of its crimes. The laker clique is a combination of numditv. intolerance and hvDoensv abomnabalc iu the siarht of " Uod and man." Having thus copied liberally from the Courier of last year to refresh the minds of our voters as to the means resorted to last Spring,- and which which, with the importation of 200 or 3)0 voters, were successful in defeatin cr the Republican Party, we shall next, from time tdtime, review Mayor Walker's administration for the last year, and show how he has fulfilled tho many pledges made to the people when he was a candidate. We have repeatedly called upon him to report, but at this writing he has not com plied. Appreciating his modesty in not parading his doiDgi before the public, we shall take great pleasure in reporting them for him. BUSINESS CARDS. AV.

HOTICES.

How liosietter's EUters Care Drs. pepsia. THE WHOLK STOKY IN A NUISHILI.. Tbe office of the stomach is to convert the fnod mto a cream like xeml-fluid, called Chyme. This Is effected partly by toe action of a soiveut, called the gastric juic, which exudes from the coating CI tne Bioma.cn, auu juiruy uy a mecnanlcal movement ot mat, organ, wnicn churns, as it were, tbe disaol ing aliment. 1'he Chyme passes fr m the stomach into tbe dnodennm, or entrance to the bowels, where it is surJ"Cl-d to the action of tne bile, and the nut ritious portion oi n con verted into a flaid called Ctiyl", which eventually becomes blood. .Now, it is evident that it the great solvent, the gastric juice, is not produced in snflicient quantity, or if the mechanical bc ion oi live stomach is not sumcienity brisk, the tir.it process of digestion will be but Imperfectly performed. I is also clear that it the liver, which plays such an Important pnrt in changing the nourishing ortion of tne chyme into the material or the b ood, in congested, or In any un natural condition, tbe tecond irocris will not be thoroughly accomplished. The result of the two failures Is dytpepsia, complicated with bi iovsne. The mo. e in which IlOSTETTBIt'S BITTERS operate in such cases is this: They Invigorate tue cellular membrane ot tne stomach, whica evolves the gastrlo juice, thereby insuring nn ample suflicteucy of the huid to completely dis olve the fo d. They also act upon the nerve of the stom-ai-h. causing :tn acceierati in of the me chanical movements necessary to reduce the lood to a homogeneous mass. They also act specifically ou the liver, strength ens g it, and so enabling it to produce an amp.e and regular suppiy or bile, tor the purpose or convening the nutritious partides of the Chyme luto Chyle, aud pro mote the passage through the bowels ol the useless uebris. This is the way H OSTETTE U S BITTFR3 cuie d spepsli and Lver coiupbiint. The explanation is plain, simple, phllosophl cal aud true. Schcnck'a ralmonle Syrup, Ke&weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills will cure Consumption, Liver Complaint, and Dypepsia, 11 taken according to the direc tions. They are all three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, relux the liver, and put It to work; then the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and makes goo 1 blood; the patient begins to grow In ilff li ; the diseased matter ripens In ihe lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well, 'lljis Is the only way to cure Consumption. lo tnese thic-e medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owei his unri valed success in the treatment of Pulmonaiy Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripeLS the morbid matter In the luug, natuie throws it oil" by an easy expectoration, 'or when tho phlegm or matter Is ripe a slight cougn will throw It off, and tho patient has rest, and the lungs begin to heal. To do tills, the Seaweed Tonio and Mandinke Pills must be freely used to cleanse tbe stomach and liver, so that the Pul monic syrup and the food will make good blood. t-ehetifk's Mandrake Pills act upon th liver, lcmovlng' all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gail bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver Is soon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothiiijj lias ever been Invented except calomel (.i dea .ily poison, which is very dange ous to use, unless with great care) that wi'.l unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Hchenck's MandriiLs Pilis. Liver Complaint Is .one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. hchenck's Seaweed Tonic la a gentle stliiiulunt ni:d alterative, and the alkail in the (Seaweed, which this preparation is MiHcte ol, assist tne stomach to throw out the jiHUlc Juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic i-yrup and is made into cx,d blood wit bout lermeotatlon or souring in the stotn.-tch.
