His goods are heavy, but prices light, and Bicycles out of sight. If you intend to build, get his prices on builders' hardware. You will go no further. Anything kept in a strictly first-class hardware store in stock, and he saves you a big profit on all you buy.

KENTUCKY was one hundred years old as a state, June 1.

CONGRESS has not done all it has to do, but the Democrats are afraid to do anything more, so it is doubtful whether Congress will get itself adjourned this sum-

LAST

Friday the House of Representa

tives decided that no part of money appropriate for stamped envelopes should be nsed for printing the names and address of business firms on the same. This is good news for the job printers. The government has long been working an injustice against printers by going into competiou against them.

the large increase in

the state taxation by the Democrats, chat partys financial management has been so bad that the state will continue to run in debt at the rate of ,$500,000 per year and it will take another stiff raise in the state tax levy before we can begin to pay off the debt. Will the farmers and business men who pay taxes continue to vote the Democrats into office who keep up this bad financial policy?

IN Pennsylvania a large water spout bnrst and raised the water of Oil creek to a great height. Two dams were carried away and Titusville and Oil City were inundated. To add to the horrors, a number of large oil tanks bursted and the oil on the rnging waters caught fire, and probably 150 people at each place were drowned or burned to death, and the fire destroyed a vast amount of property. Ic was another Johnstown horror. Relief is pouring in upon them.

THE I rotection idea is growing even in Great Brit tin. Since Lord Salisbury the English Premier recently declared that England was losing her trade supremacy with her free trade ideas, there has been a change of base and England is liable to become a Protection country. The United Stated has been gradually gaining and is now easily out ranking Great Britain. W!-»y should a nation not protect and care for its own people in preference to any

TURKIC IS getting to be two great a tendency to make Memorial or Decoration day, a gala day by some people. The day should be observed kindly, tenderly, lovingly and patriotically in honor of the boys who wore the blue, and fought that the Union might be preserved. The lessons of heroism and patriotism should bn imprersed upon our children,the young and rising gem ration. Bicycle races, base ball matches, horse races and all other sports should be relegated to the rear, The same arguments hold good in regard to the Fourth of July. The REPUBLICAN believes in amusements, but there are proper occasions for them. Be patriotic, be American, let there be in this Country a love of home, a love of Country and a love of God.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION.

It Now Looks JLike Harrison Will Be Renominated

No vote Probable Until Friday or Saturday. PRESIDENT IIAERISON'Snomination now seems assured. A majority of the delegates went to Minneapolis for that purpose and they will follow their own best judgment and the wishes of their constituents. The President backed up by his magnificent administration is the strongest possible candidate aud deserves to be nominated. The Blaine boomers have worked every scheme to win away Harrison's supporters but have failed. They now want a compromise candidate but the Harrison supporters will stand firm and renominate the Hoosier Statesman. The leading papers and the statesmen of the Republican party are for Harrison. The Blaine men who control the organization by having a majority in the National committee are delaying matters, but the President's strength is increasing right along and he most certainly will be renominated and re elected.

NOTES.

J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, a Blaine man, was temporary chairman. Mayor McKinley, a reliable Harrison supporter, is permanent chairman.

John C. New, Harrison's chief manager, is an able political general, and is conducting a magnificent campaign for Lis Chief. *.

The Hoosiers are all hustlers for the President and are doing fine work, with the exception of the Ft. Wayne crowd and a very few from Indianapolis. a-

The McKinley bill is 18 months old and doing its own talking now. Look out for Mayor McKinley in 189G.

MOST of the free-trade sentiment of this country lias its origin in the iridescent dreams of college-bred theorists as imprac tical as children. But even a change has begun to appear in that quarter, and the last reports show that there are almost double as many protectionists as freetraders in the graduating class at Yale College this year. The last four years shows a steady increase in this direction. The census for those years shows:

THE COMBINATION WORKED The Slate Pulled Through in Great Shape. The Democrats who control the nominations in this county got in their work very handsomely last Saturday at the primary. Not a man whom the head pushers desired nominated failed to get there. The domination of the Democrat ring of Hancock county is about ended. They controUed the nominations but the people will not eudorse them in November. The Democrats had 2375 votes here in 1883 and 22^5 in 1890 but with the largely increased vote of the county they cast but few over 1400 last Saturday. Of course some were detained at home by work but the greater number are men who believe that a change from the Democrat rule in this county will save money to them as tax payers. As is always "the case not at all who voted at the primary will vote for the nominees and these added to the other voters who are opposed to the combination will snow them under most beautifully. There were 4430 votes in this county in 1S88 and there are many more now. When every body votes in November, the combination nominated last Saturday by the 1400, less than one third of the votes of the county will look very tired. This is a year when the thinking people will decide the result. The time has arrived when even Hancock county Democrats will not blindly follow the ticket. They are disposed to vote for their own best interests, and not walk up to the polls and endorse the men picked out by a few men in a law office at Greenfield. Tax payers consider well what are for your own best interests and then vote accordingly. What does it matter to you whether the Ring ticket is successful or is beaten. Help yourself and your neighbors, and then you will not have cause to grumble for the next two or four years about the management of the county affairs. It is not so much the men selected, as the system that has been in vogue here so long and under which these men would ba compelled to work. They are and would be under obligations to the men who nominated them. See how closely the votes of those who were successful ran together. It has the marks of the "combine." The p$Jple will not endorse it.

IT IS an open fact that the Democrat party of to-day lacks great leaders. The Republican party on the other hand has scores of them. It can only be explained in one way. The Democrat party has no great cardinal principles for which it is struggling, that ennoble and make men great. It has no object or aim except office and the spoils thereof. The party has a host of ward workers and Peanut politicans, but no great Statesmen or grand leaders. The Democrat party simply opposes the measures of the Republican party. It proposes no new thing but dresses up in the cast off cloth as of the Republican party and loudly exclaims "we did it, we are now and always were in favor of it." Even the leaders of the Democrat party are second handed Republicans, as for instances, Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Gov. Boies of Iowa, Gov. Peck of Wisconsin, Senator Palmer of Illinois, Ex Governors Cambell and Hoadley of Ohio, Gray of Indiana and a host of others including Wm.R, Myers now candidate for Secretary of State, Congressman Geo. W. Cooper of Columbus, Ex Congressman C. C. Matson etc., etc. They left the party not on account of principle, but because they could not have office every time they wanted. The Republican party has many great leaders because the noble and glorious principles of the party make men great. The history of the Republican party is a record of grand and noble achievements for the bettering of humanity and the prosperity of the Nation. 1

Democratic papers have to acknowledge that the peeple of the free trade European countries are compiled to flee here to find comfortable hof&es. Why then are these same Democratic papers seeking to destroy said happy and comfortable American homes andjreduce them to the level of the Europeat homes or those of any other less favorea, nation?

THE Democratic Congressman had Henry Georges book Protection or Free Trade incorporated as part of their speeches in the Congressional Record. Three million copies were ordered printed and they are now sending it over the country free of charge by using their government franking privilege. The dear people however are footing the bills. The doctrines contained in the George book are indeed very pernicious and would be especially hard upon the farmers. The George theory is to abolish all internal revenue and custom duties, abolish the taxes on all personal property such as stocks bonds mortgages, etc and raise the government revenues by a single and direct tax on the land. Such a course would crush out and destroy the capital value of land. This is the doctrine that the Democratic party is trying to inculcate by circulating the Henry George book. Do the farmers of this county want all government taxes raised by taxes on land and the railroads, bank stocks, mortgages etc allowed to be free from taxes. The Democ! at party has certainly dug a pit into which they themselves will fall as the farmers who read and think will certainly not indorse or vote with a party which advocates such doctrines. Mr. George does not believe in democrat doctrine at all and yet he works with that party right along. When told that he was inconsistent in supporting the Democrat party he said: "Oh, yes your statement is correct and my tuition may seem inconsistent, yet the way to defeat two or more enemies is to attack the stronger first, aud for that purpose use the weaker as allies, and as protection is the only justification for a tariff, the Republicans have some standing we must, therefore, use the Democrats as our allies to subdue the Repblican idea first, after which the Democratic idea will die from its own weakness." Mr. George is a rabid free trader and his ideas and doctrines are semi communistic and is an ally of the Democratic party.

SOME parties ars reporting around over Hancock county that there will be a fusion between the Republican and Peoples' parties in this county and but one ticket run this fall. The REPUBLICAN can say advisedly that there is no truth in such a report. Those who take great interest in the success of the Republican party say that the party will have one of the best tickets in the field this fall for the various county offices this fall that it has ever been known in Hancock county. The best interests of the tax payers and citizens of Hancock county would be best served if said Republican ticket would receive a majority of the notes cast this fall. The out look is encouraging and the Republican hopes that every man in the county will make a complete and candid investigation of the questions of the day National, State and County and then vote as his judgment dictates. In the columns of this paper will be found facts worthy of the consideration of all. They will be presented fairly and honestly and we trust they will be considered and acted upon in the same manuer.

THE Republicans enter the national campaign this year with zeal and enthusiasm. The administration of President Harrison has been a magnificent one of difficulties met and overcome. Its policy as to both home and foreign affairs has been successful. The Republican party has many great and grand leaders made so by the noble and glorious principles of the party which will ennoble any man who firmly believes them and thtnatts honestly with himself and his fellow citi
