THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. VOL. 13, No. 33—Entered at the Postoffice ai second-class mail mutter.

W. S. MONTGOMERY, Publisher and Proprietor.

Circulation This Week, 2,600.

If there isn't a Hill in the road, Grover Cleveland wants to know what in the thunder makes the pulling so hard.

TOM REED'S smile is very bland when he compares the work of the last two Congresses. The Chicago News Record says it takes a yard stick to measure it.

A young man makes his mistake when he selects merrily the indulgent and frivolous things of life rather than the serious and more substantial ones. These latter offer the sure foundation for social and busiuess success.

DEMOCRATIC ballot box stuffers in Newark, N. J., are being hustled off to prison. The other day a struck jury was ordered for one of them, Thomas Mailley who had been aPinkerton watchman at Homestead and had been severely wounded.

THK National Convention of theRepub lican or Lincoln League clubs has been postponed from the first to the fifteenth of September. Every township in Hancock county should have one or more clubs before that time. Talk up the club organizations and form at once.

THK Michigan Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional the gerrymander which looked to stealing the State legislature for the Democrats. Justice and equity are over turning many of the Democratic plans for fraudulent United States Senators.

HAVE you noticed how the Democrat papers rejoice when an American industry goes to the wall or is compelled to reduce wages. Said papers do not rejoice when new industries are established or wages increased, it is the Republican party that rejoices at prosperity and is always booming America and her industries. They are for America and Americans every time in preference to England and the English. The Republican party prefers Protection to Free Trade, McKinleyism to Cobdenism.

FRED D. MUNSEY, in his correspondence epitomizes the record of the two last Congresses as follows:

Appropriations by Republican Fiftyfirst Congress, first session, $463,000,000 second session, $525,000,000. Total "bill-iou-dollar Congress," $988,000,000:

Appropriations by present "economical," "reform" Democratic Fifty-second Congress first session, $509,000,000.

Excess of appropriations by Democratic "economist" Congress over "profligate" Republicon Fifty-first Congress in first session, $34,000,000.

Democrats) Needed A King-Master. Iio.iton Journal. The Democrats missed a golden opportunity when tliey did not make Torn Reed Speaker of their Congress. His strong hand might have whipped tliem into comparative decency and saved them from go ing home an impotent and quarrelsome rabble, secretly despised by their own partisans and thoroughly detested by the country.

Cleveland And The Soldier Vote

Burlington Havvkeye: There are living a million of Union veterans, and it is safe to say that very few of them will vote to again place Mr. Cleveland in the Presidential oJTicu If there (e any amonp them who think tlmt the government should not care for the men who preserved it, th it it is not the duty of the Nation to pn

vie'i.s

lot* its defenders—and it is possi

ble that there are some such—they will ihml'Uvss voce for the Democratic candidiitu Hit all who believe that a grateful people .should manifest their gratihirle tty mnkiug generous provision

f"v

lie men

who«.f loyalty /md patriotism and courage saved the Uuion and preserved our republics institutions, who believe that such devotions and sacrifice is entitled to the reward whie'i a great and wealthy people can tiiford to bestow, will cast their voles and exert their influences for the Republican candidate, who was him self an able and brave soldier, and whose sympathies have ever been with the just eiaims of the Union's veterans to the generous care of the country. As between Benjamin Harrison and Urover Cleveland no old soldier who has at heart the welfare of himself and his deserving comrades can hesitate a moment in rendering choice,

PtthTt Polatad and Pertinent.

The tin-plate liar has apparently turned his attention to the sea serpent. Representative Henderson, of Iowa, calls it the "pork barrel Congress".

Already the question is beginning to be asked, *'who killed the People's party?" Gladstone has got a job as difficult as that which ex-secretary Whitney has undertaken.

The argument upon which Standard Oil Whitney principally relies for success is cold cash.

Cheese-parer Holman is evidently

failure in his favorite character of watchdog of the Treasury. Where am I at?" will soon have to be asked by Mr. Cleveland, if he does not "let up" a little on his "fad."

It is not strange that many democrats are heartily ashamed of the plank in the Chicago platform which endorses wild cat banking.

Mr. Cleveland took time between letters to say that he was not expecting a visit from Senator Hill. It was a needless waste of time.

Democrats in the House allowed the World's Fair appropriation to go through in just about the same spirit that the average housewife gives a good potato to tramp.

One way to stop immigration—elect Grover Cleveland and a democratic Congress they would give us free trade, and European labor would no longer be benefitted by coming to America.

Let it not be lost sight of that 74 of the 83 votes cast against the World's Fair appropriation when it was passed by the House came from democrats and the other nine from People's Party men.

Don Dickerson was the originator of rainbow chasing in politics, and it was most appropriate that he should have been selected to be chairman of Mr. Cleveland's campaign committee,

One of the most encouraging signs of the campaign is the unprecedentedly ra pid growth of republican clubs in every section of the country, excepting, of course the most of the Southern States.

Lest it should be forgotten, ex-Speaker Reed reminds the country that it was the Democratic majority in the House which made such long pretence of economy, that appropriated $22,000,000 in fifteen minutes.

Southern democrats do not fear the much talked of "negro supremacy" when the negroes vote the democratic ticket, not even when that ticket owes its election to negro votes, as in Alabama the other day.

The appropriations of the democratic House were not in keeping with their often expressed fears of a deficit in the Treasury. They did their level best to turn these assumed fears into a substantial fact.

Oates, of Alabama, is hard on the workingmen in his report, which was rejected by the House committee and afterwards published by him but what else could be expected from the representative of a class which believes that men who work are inferior beings, entitled^ to no consideration whatever.

The report of the House "jag" committee on the Watson charge of drunkenness is a remarkable document it declares the charge "false and libelous", but admits that -'three and possibly four members appeared on the floor under the influence of liquors". No wonder the House adjourned without acting on the report. -3

THE ANNUAL. CONFERENCE.

Now In Session At The 31. P. Clinrcli. One Hundred And Fifty Preachers Present.

The M. P. Conference now in session in our city is largely attended, there being 150 preachers and delegates present and many lay members as visitors. They are being handsomely entertained by our citizens and all express themselves as being delighted and pleased with our city. Greenfield on account of its excellent situation always pleases visitors. The Conference re-elected Rev. W. H. Fisher of Frankfort as president and elected Rev's. Lenhart and Bundy as secretaries. There are Conference sessions beginning at 8.30 every morning and each afternoon and preaching every night at the M. P. church where the sessions are held. Last evening Rev. Benj. Stout of the Pittsburg Conference, secretary of the Home Missionary Society, preached an able discourse. To-night the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society have charge of the meetings and Mrs. M. J. Morgan of Indianapolis. State organizer, will deliver an address. The Faculty of Instruction have been in session at the east school building where those who are taking the three years course of study are being examined. Thir church believes in an educated ministry. The public are cordially invited to the various sessions, especially the evening meetings and all will be am ply repaid as the speakers are all able ones among the best. On Sunday it is probable that ministers from the Confer ence will preach at the various churches of the city as such is the usual custom. The announcements are made each even at the cliurch. The appointments for the various churches and circuits will probably not be made until next Monday. We hope every church will be pleased and

ments. The church and the citizens of Greenfield would be glad to see Rev. D. W. Evans retained here as he has done a very excellent work. The Conference could make no better or more pleasing appointment.

A Warning to Boys Wlio Drink. Hoodlooms of Jackson township were over at the Old Settler's Meeting and tarried until a late hour about the saloons of Greenfield, dethroning what little intelligence and reason they possessed and on their way home, they made night hideous with their noise, thus we know who tore gates oft' their hinges and put them across the road,dragged offold sleds, barrels and hay-rakes and desecrated Brown's Chapel church. The community is debating what kind of a persuader would be the most effective to reform these boys as 'tis well known their pnrents have on former occasions even paid them out of their vandalism. A hint to the wise it is said is sufficient.

The Chinese pay their doctor only so long as he keeps them in health. They believe in preventing rather than curing disease. This is sound sense and one of the strongest recommendations of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a medicine which not only cures diseases but prevents them.

An Enterprising Furniture Firm.

The enterprise displayed by H. Rottmau, successor to W. P. Wilson, furniture and undertaking, is indeed commendable. He lias secured a large quantity of yard sticks with his advertisement on them which he distributes free gratis among his patrons. He also has a number of unique advertisements that he is posting all over the country. He is a believer in advertising and it will not be loBg until Rottman the furniture man will be familiar with all people within his jurisdiction. His large room of three floors is filled with furniture of the latest styles and patterns. We noticed a fine assortment of elegant divans, of all shades and trimmings, fine rockers,ttands,chairs tables, bed room sets,dressers,lounges,side boards, pictures and a complete variety of house furnishing goods. Mr. R. and his house is fast gaining a hold on public favor, owing to the superior quality of goods, honorable dealings and bottom prices. He has one of the best equipped and most reliable establishments ia the city. Mr. Rottman is an experienced and competent undertaker. He employs none but approved modern processes in the business. Undertaking and embalming are done in a thorough and scientific manner. Mr. Jacob Andrews is still with this house and it is a pleasure to him to wait on customers which he does in a manner peculiar to himself and highly satisfactory to his customers. This is a reliable firm to deal with in every particular and the people will make no mistake when they trade with them. In addition to furnishing the newest, latest and best goods at lowest prices you also with ever dollars worth of goods purchased secure a red ticket which, when a sufficient number are obtained will entitle you to a round trip ticket to the World's Fair.

A Model Store And Appointments.

Our reporter in pursuing his rouuds among our merchants, was especially attracted to the neatly arranged double store of H. L. Strickland, in Masonic Hall corner, lie ha3 recently transformed the corner room into a hardware and stove store and connected it with his grocery room by a large arched door way, making the nicest and best arranged store in this part of the state. This store is neatly ana attractively fitted up and thoroughly equipped with all necessary conveniences and contains a full and comprehensi- srock of staple and fancy groceries, which have been selected with

the deinauds of his first-class trade. The best brands of flour, fresh butter, fruits,

sealed goods in glass and tin, sugars, syrups, all kinds of cooking supplies, provisions and vegetables of the best quality, indicating that nothing is too good for a customer with Mr. Strickland. While in the Hardware and Stove department are found the Greenfield stoves, the best on earth, with a full line of builders'hardware and carpenters' supplies. Mr. Strickland keeps noue but first class clerks, and careful attention is given to the wants of patrons, everything being as represented, aud goods delivered promptly to all parts of the city. The Masonic Hall double store is truly a credit to our city in its remarkable fine appointments, and Wst but not least the extremely low prices and great bargaius given there. Mr. Strickland is to be commended for his enterprise.

TiiKliill* Livery Stable Sold.

Mr. Albert Munson lu- rurchased and is now occupying the J. T. Tindall livery stable on Mechanic street. Considerations $1,175cash. Mr. Munson is aclever gentleman and will no doubt de well. Mr. Tyudall has removed his horses including the great stallion Hamdallah to the Fair Ground stables.

was hardly equal to the demand.

This was not on account of there not being an abundant supply in our field but of an insufficient amount being brought into the city mains. To secure a sufficient amount this winter, new wells will have to be dri led out side the city limits. Companies have heretofore very foolishly drilled too many wells right here in the city when they should have gone outside. It was a waste of money nnd they realize it now. The Greenfield Gas Co. Lave a large sum invested and have realized no profits comparatively. They say that unless the present ordinance is repealed allowing them to raise the price of gas that they will sink no new wells. This means short gas this winter. The People's Company have not yet determined what they will do. It is necessary however for somebody to get a move on them and that right soon if they desire an abundance of gas this winter. What do the gas Companies, the Council and the People propose to do? Settle the question quick aud then hnstle. We have abundant gas aud it must be utilized.

Tlx* Congresaioiiitl Coilv« u! X»DJ JHon. Cnaries L. Henry, of Anderson will probably be nominated by the Republicans of this district for Congress. They could secure no better or stronger man. The convention meets at the Criminal court room in Indianapolis on Wednesday, August 31, at 1 p. m. The delegates from this county will be those who were delegates to the convention at Indianapolis March 3rd, that selected the delegates to the Minneapolis convention. They are announced elsewhere.

John JLoelir's Barber Shop.

John Loehr, the popular barber, ever on the lookout to please patrons has secured the services of Mr. Grant Plummer formerly with Moxley and Plummer. Thore is no more popular barber in Greenfield than Grant Plummer. He gives a smooth and easy shave and fashionable hair cut as quick as anybody. Graut will be glad to greet all his old friends in his new location, the Guymon House Barber Shop. Mr. Loehr's shop is a success, he is advertised by pleased patrons and now runs four chairs regularly.
