W. S. MONTGOMERY, Publisher and Proprietor.

Circulation This Week, 2,548.

HARRISON: is the soldiers friend, the peoples Champion.

THE issue is square. Protection to American industries and honest money against debased currency and free trade.

TIIE general crop out look is now reported as favorable throughout the county and the crop will be large, but possibly not quite so large as last year.

GRANDPAS hat was all O. Iv. in 1888 and with the large number of victorious plumes which the President has gathered, it makes the most fashionable and' popular hat this year.

DURING Harrisons administration, the Union soldiers have not been slapped in the face and rebuffed as they were while Cleveland occupied the White House.

ISAAC P. GRAY went into the Demo cratic party in 1872 and has been running for office ever since. It seems to be in his system and harder to shake off than the ancient Hoosier "ager."

"There is a nobler future even than bringing prosperity to a country before the Republican party. [Applause.] And that future is to give every citizen of the United States liberty of thought and action. [Cheers.] Wealth and prosperity are noble but human liberty if magnificent."—T. B. Reed.

MANY Northern Democrats urge it against Harrison that he received a majority of the votes of the Southern delegates. If it is against a man to be nominated by the South, what must it be to be elected by the South. All the electoral votes Cleveland will get will be from the solid South.

CLEVELAND was nominated at Chicago this morniug by 61G vote against 282 votes for Hill, Gorman Boies et al on the first ballot. After a bitter fight a free free trade platform was adopted. The coinage men were knocked out. The ticket is weak and the platform weaker. The Republicans will win hands down.

THE Republican State Convention at Ft Wayne next week has a large number of excellent candidates irom which to select. The Republican party is a winner in Indiana this year, and the candidates therefore should be the best possible. Let the situation be looked at candidly and carefully, and the success of the party, and best interests of the people looked at, rather than th« personal interests of any man. The Convention will name a winning ticket,

IN April 1891, 92,363,462 pounds of tin plate were brought to this country and sold at $3 67 per hundred. In April this year 70,489.102 pounds were imported and sold at $2 80 per hundred. Tiu plate has been getting a little cheaper each month. As home production increases it will continue to get cheaper as all other articles have done, upon which a tariff has been placed. Ask your Democratic friend to name a single manufactured article that is not much cheaper to ay than when the tariff wa« placed upon it.

IMMEDIATELY after the war the Republican party was largely in the ascendency. Men were Republicans from patriotic motives. It has in its history lost iind gained many adherents and the gains ri^ht now are largely overbalancing the losses. Men drifted away from the Republican party as a rule from pensonal r.aHOi»s and because of no fault of the party. Some left on account of wild and visionary schemes, which they hoped to have some party carry out and many others, because they were not kept or put in office, or because some friend of theirs failed to connect with a fat office. The places of all such are now more than filled by men who en account of "business reasons" are Republicans. The business argument in favor of Republican control of the National Government can not be answered. The Nation and people are prosperous, why not continue a good thing at let well enough alone?

THE Republican party's platform is short this year but as a rule few people read long platforms so we give the leading points briefly. yp:

The platform reaffirms protection^ and says it is a success and will prove more so approves reciprocity: declares for bimetalism with such restrictions as shall make the purchasing and debt-paying power of all dollars equal, and indorses the international monetary conference demands that every citizen be allowed to cast one free ballot and have it counted, and declares that the party will stand by this doctrine until it attains success denounces outrages perpetrated on citizens in the southern states for political reasons favors legislation state and national to protect the lives of railway employes sympathizes with Irish home rule and the persecuted Jews declares for freedom in all its legitimate phases, but denounces trusts and combines approves the policy of free delivery of letters in rural districts and one cent postage a3 early as possible approves civil service reform asks congress to be liberal with the World's Fair: sympathizes with legitimate efforts against intemperance favors liberal pension legislation declares against anv movement for uuion of church and state and heartily commends President Harrison's administration.

There ycu have the policy of the. Republican party out lined. It is the party of the people. It stands for those things which will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. It also stands for liberty and freedom both at home and abroad. It ravors free rural postal delivery and penny postage. That will bring the farmer and Lis family in closer contact with the great centers of trade and activity aud be mutually beneficial. The Republican party has always succeeded when it was a bold and earnest advocate cf the people and was never more so than this year. This papor also is a strong believer in the people and that they will have the good sense to form correct opinions and judgments and the honesty of purpose to carry them out. The REPUBLICAN as a paper is a strong advocate of the Republican party but we abuse no man for holding adverse opinions. Our side shall be presented fairly,honestly and candidly aud we trust read, judged and acted upon in the same impartial manner. Tne people should under all circumstances vote and work for their own best interests.

THE "Drafted Men's Bill" passed by the Democratic New York legislature, and signed by Gov. Flower, therefore now a law, is a significant exponent of the Democratic idea of pensions. There were many men in New York who like Grover Cleveland, hired a man to be shot at in their place after they had been drafted. Neither the men who hired the substitutes or the substitutes themsiV?es, stood very high with the loyal volunteers. At the closing of the war these drafted men organized in strong bodies for the purpose of obtaining, as they said, pensions. and the return of the money which they paid to substitutes. By it Grover Cleveland will receive the $300 he was to have paid to the substitute who fought for him during the" war, and the stay-at-homes in New York state will receive the benefits to the amount of nearly $500,000. This is a part of the shameless record of the Democracy. When ever a bill is passed in Congress to pension the volunteers, there is a howl from every Cheap John sheet of Bourbon proclivities in the United States. It will also be remembered that Mr. Cleveland allowed his substitute alter the close of the war to die in the poor house at Bath Maine.

A CONTRIBUTOR to the New York Press packs a first class republican platform into the following sentence:

The people I meet want Ben Harrison the man who stormed in with his brigade at Resaca who led us to victory in 1888, when it looked like a forlorn hope: who drafted the Aldrich reciprocity amendment to the tariff law, and which the supreme court has recently declared constitutional who called dowu Lord Salisbury in the seal question, who frought Chili up standing and Italv to its senses: who can't be wheedled or intimidated who has made perhaps 200 speeches since his nomination in 1888. and not once put his foot in it. They want plain unpretentious, plucky Ben Harrison, who never said a thing without meaning it, and never means a thing that is not right.

The present Democratic Co a gross was elected upon what they called a tariff reform platform. What has it done on the ta:iff. Passed three bills, first, free tin piate, leaving sheet steel from which it is made tariffed. That ii the finished product free, and the raw material bearing a duty. Second free wool to the manufacturer and tariffed cloth to the consumer. Third, free cotton ties to the cotton states aud tariffed hoop iron to all the rest of the states. That is the Democratic idea of tariff reform. Look at the inconsistency of those three bills. The fact is the Republican party has the American idea, the popular idea, the right idea and the winning idea on the tariff question.

Vlthy, Pointed and Pertinent. feS Letting well enough alone may not meet the views of everybody, but all the same it is good and safe policy, in politics as in other thing?.

Our democratic friends are going to lots of unnecessary trouble in connection with the Chicago convention. The next President and Vice-President of the United States have already been named.

James G. Blaine is no sulker he tells the party that it is its first duty to elect Harrison and Reid, and he proposes to help them do it.

The republican platform is sound from the foundation to the roof it has no apologies to make and makes no attempt to straddle anything. Mark the difference in the structure to be erected by the democrats at Chicago.

It is said that Carl Schurz proposes taking the stump against Harrison and Reid. That will be better than his taking- the stittnp for them, as he is a political Jonah of the first water.

American corn is, thanks to "Uncle Jerry" Rusk, gradually getting a foothold in Europe.

The college graduate now relieves the chronic loafer in the task of holding the world up by the tail, and knowing it all.

Chauncey Depew is too practical a man to give up a $50,000 railroad presfdency for an $8,000 cabinet position.

No republican of any prominence has yet been found who has any fault to find with Harrison aud Reid.

SOME insurance companies in this state and county insure a man's house or other property at say $1000 and then in case it burns, refuses to pay him more than $800 claiming that is all the property is worth. Such may be the case but that fact should be determined when the property is insured and the company should not take a man's money in premiums and then refuse to pay the insurance. No man should receive more than property is worth, but where only in one company all that the company place on the house, unless secured by fraud should be paid.

WILLIAMS.

Weslev Williams son of Joseph and Charity Williams was born in Franklin county this state May 11, 1811 and died at his home in Jackson township *his county, June 12, 1892. Mr. Williams was raised in Wayne county uutil 1837 when he and his wife moved to Jackson township this county where they ha"e resided ever since. At the age of 15 Mr. Williams united with the M. E. church and has been a faithful consistent member ever since, given unto charity aud good deeds. He was married in 1834 to Miss Catherine Harden who .-dso has been a member of the M. E. church from her girlhood. This conpl? travelled life's rug?ed pfiMuvav happily together from a very becrinnina in a loqr cabin, until by patient toil, untiring industry aud strict economy they and their children had an abundance of this world's goods and were among those whose influence extended beyond a narrow sphere. Mrs. Williams and five children survive the loving husband and father who has gone to his last long home there to receive the reward laid up for those who have been faithful. Mr. Williams leaves a large number of relatives and a hest of friends to mourn his loss. His funeral at Nameless Creek church was very largely attended. Thus a good, honorable, upright 8Ud noble mail has passed away but his good deeds live after him.

A LGTTEK OF CONDOLKNCK. From ltcv. Nelson Olllaui to Mrs. Weeley Williams.

RLCHMONR, IND., June 15, 1892.

^MY DEAR COUSIN: The very sad intelligence of the death of your husband reached us to-day between two and three o'clock. From what Sanford told us when he was here we supposed his end was not very distant, but still we were not prepared for it so soon. Not-with standing his ripe old age his long, useful and happy life, his worthy example, and not vvith-standing his complete preparation for death, still when the time of the departure of our friends comes it is hard to give them up but O, what a relief it is to know it is well with them, that their work was done and done to stand. His experience reminds me of the language of Solomon. Prov. 4 chapter 18 verse. "The path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Not like the meteor that shines out brightly for a short time,and then sinks down gradually into darkness, but like the light that grows stronger and clearer and warmer all the time. I have been glad to hear through the preachers that bis experience has been very clear and satisfactory and I have no doubt but it was so to the last. He made us a very pleasant visit about four years ago. We enjoyed his society and his religious conversation so much. Well Katie, and all the children and grand-children, your husband, father and grand father through his industry and economy, left a good farm and other property, for his faithful and aged companion and the children but he also left that which is infinitely more valuable than houses and lands, yea more valuable than gold, silver, pearls or diamonds, I refer to his faithful unblemished christian character at home, in the church, iu the neighborhood, in county, aud among all classes of men. O, what a treasure to leave to his companion, his children and his grand children. "Be thou faithful uutil death and I will give thee a crown of life." He is in possession of that crown, earthly crowns fade, but this shall never grow dim. I hope all the children and grand-children will follow his example, aud be good christian men and women and meet him in heaven. I believe he was the oldest of Uncle Josephs sons, but the last one departing this life and but two sisters still living if I remember correctly. Soon we will all be gone. Let us be read}' as he was. Well Katie, he has preceeded you only a short time. Be faithful and there will be a re-union on the other side. Please let me hear about the close of his life, whether he was conscious and what he said, if any thing. The Lord bless you all. We are tolerable well.
