THE poll of the state shows that the majority of the voters of this state are for Harrison and Reid. The margin in so large a vote is not large however and it shows the absolute necessity of every Republican vote in the state being cast. Cast correctly and counted properly. See to it that you vote, vote early and that your Republican neighbor votes..

INDIANA is a Republican state. Six •imesshe has voted for the Republican presidential candidate and but twice for the Democratic candidate and that was when that popular Democrat, Thomas A. Hendricks was a candidate for vice president and carried the ticket throngh 1876 aud 1884. This year Indiana will vote for her favorite son Gen'l Ben Harrison.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel is still exercised over "the tin-plate fraud," which attempts to make tin-plate in Indiana instead of in Wales. The trouble with the Sentinel is that every manufactory and workshop built up in Indiana is only another Vail in the polit:c sl coffin of the Democratic party. The tin-plate town of El wood has grown from a strangling viiliage to a young city, and as the vote will show, the grow tlx is not from f:ectrade Democracy.

INDIANA is a Republican State. It luus be kejt where every business tie and intorest plnces it—ia the Republican column. She, of all other States, should participate in the electoral column that will re-elect her worth}' citizen, and retain the position yho holds in uhe counsels of th8 government. The rignres show that majority of the electors are Republican. What we lite -to do is to get out the full vote and secure a fair count.

TJ.f ami Inauguration.' Thi' :ul-absorbing topic just now is the election, another great item of popular interest will be the inauguration but no one at j«e3cnt can forteil how many iteiiis of interest to horseman or how important items will be published in the Kentucky Stock Farm during the next fourteen months. This can be relied upon, that they will all be published and as soou as thty inlte p'ace: jot the Kentucky Stock Farm olfeis to send its paper fro:n lat« to January lS9d—a period of fourteen ir.uuth.s—.'or two dollars, the regular price of a year's su inscription.

The earliest and most complete uews fio the "Hub" is its specialty and news from all quarters its aim.

Democratic Sentiment.

Kokomo Gazette-Tribune.

THE Democrat State committee has sent out a lot of Campaign songs in the stereotype plata matter which it supplies and has printed in the Democratic papers of Indiana. One of these gem.?, which is sung to the air of Ta-ra-ra Boom-de ay, coutains these words:

A red-hot Democrat am I, I'm in the crowd that's bound to try To knock the pension robbers out That's just what we are now about, And when we \viu you'll hearus fehout. We need a few more vetoes yet, To stop the pension grabbing set. This song has been printed in nearly all tho Democratic papers, anu" is being sung by their glee clubs generally

SENATOT: MOUNT, a Republican member of the last legislature, says there is one point which the owners of mortgnged homes and farms should consider. They did not receive just treatment' at the hands of the last legislature. Inasmuch as there is a provision which allows the holder of money aud notes to deduct from the total the araouut of money he owes ou notes aud in money, I offered an amendment to the effect th it, in taxi-sj farms houses and lots, the amount of the mortgage thereon be deducted in fairae^ to the occupant, so that he might npt be taxed upon property he dees not own, as thn holder of money and notes is not. Every Democratic Senator voted against the preposition.

THK Germau-Araericans are largely republican this year for they say: "It is a fact that the resolutions of the democratic party favoring free trade and au unreliable state currency art: unfriend ly to the business and manufacturing interests of our country and, that the Ptate debt is increasing from year to year, aud the taxes have been extraordinarily increased by the act of the last legislature."

The German-American republican club of Indianapolis has been organized with a view of calling attention to these conditions. We and they urge' all Germans everywhere to consider these questions and vote for their own best interests.

Ilemiirucity vs. J?ree Trail?

There area good many people who claim that reciprocity and free trade nee identical. But such is not the case. In reciprocity we allow a nation^Jp send Mich articles as they manufacture)^-raise, the like of which we flo hot- produce, to our country, provided that we "be allowed the prisilege of selling certain articles of our manufacture or raising that are not produced in tho foreign eountry. Free trade pure and simpla is where a nation sells to or buys Of other nations regardless of what the other nations may sell to or buy of it. Reciprocity is an arrangement between -nations or individuals thr.t. is mutually beneficial. It is not a one sided affair. Free trade might be mutual or it might not, there is nothing compulsory about it. It has a tendency to level the. conditions of the people of the nations th.it practice it and BS the condition of the American people is superior to that of the peop.e of the other nations of" the earth, when our condition is levelled ir most certainly, would not be as good us, ic is now. The condition of the people of Europe would be levelled np or bettered, that is the reason the .people of Eui ope desire that America, shoulil adopt the tree trarie pol.cy as ir, "fouid help them, they do noc care if it v/otild hurt HS.

A Pi»-.verti :n.l Convincing Argument. Hon. II. A ]3in.r-k, of this city, delivered the best Republican speech that h»s been made here this year at the courthouse, Tuesday night. Notwithstanding the rain the courts house was fille.!, many being compelled to static!, and s- far as the audience was eonc-uned, it *.vas the best of the year co make a political speech to, as it was composed of laboring and business men. For two ami a hair tioim Mr. Black talked and confuted hinispif idmost exclusively to the tariff. Having been in Europe during the .:-fc summer he compared the condition or- he lano.--I iog people of Europe to those of As'wica, and no laborer in America would o'e to go back to the condition of the «ver there. He also exposed the lt.vs of

Democratic orators concerning the pricw of American machinery in Europe. It sells 50 per cent, higher there The speaker read from English :iad Scotch papers and all were unanimously for the election of Cleveland, as the MoKinley iiill was removing English and .Scottish wealth aud factories to America. Oc' the hundreds ot'Englishworkmej^Mr.I'daclc conversed with, he never lni-.i- one that owned his own home, or on-i that knew a workingman that did own his home. Mr. Black is an Irishman, but every inch an American, and prefers America before the world. He has lived here twenty live years, and his speech did a vast amount of good. He talked to his friends and neighbors, and how any one could listeu to that speech and then not vote in favor of protecting American labor shows one of two things: 1st, that he had no confidence in what the speaker said or 2nd, that he believed what the spt-alcer said, but caring more for party success than his country's welfare, would shut bis eyes and vore the Democratic ticket any how.J

Charles 1/ Henry, the republican candidate foar congress, WHS born in this county^ear Eden, July 1, 1849, his parents being George and Leah Henry. His lather came to this country irom Ireland at 12 years of age. Mr. llenry received a common school education aud then attended Asbury university at Green castle where he completed the sophomore year. September 2, 1873 he married Miss Eva N. Smock of that city, and to them nave been born seven children, five daughters and two sons, the eldest being Miss Edna a handsome, and brilliant young lady of eighteen. Mr. Henry re-id law aud located in Pendleton, but afterward removed to Anderson where lie always has enjoyed a large and lucrative bitsiziess. We clip the following from the Anderson Herald which shows how Anderson esteems .tr. Henry:

Charles L. Henry, Anderson's leading citizen, has been named as the republican candidate lor Congie&s ior the Seventh District. Mr. Henry is happily endowed with the qualifications winch equip him as a splendid candidate in th.-r^ce which he is now carrying on with .such energy and wiodoiu. Isomiuated in a democratic district, he has conducted turns ill! before the people in such a manner Oat. dawn is breaking and his succe ?.. at the polls in November are assured. Mr. Henry entered the canvass with rue ripe experience of lorty-three years suc:c(.«.s!'ul life as a man of business and as au attorney, who never lacked for clients.

His characteristics are energy, honesty and fairness. He never uuueii.-.kes anything which does not engage his full powers of mind, heart and soul. He never takes an unfair or dishoLest advtmtage in any enterprise.

Chutles L. Henry needs no word of commendation in the city and county where he nas passed the oe.sl years of his life. His neighbors and fellow citizens -have watched his daily walk, and have noted \vjth pleasure his steady ascent to prosperity. As a Christian in his church an attorney at the bar, a business man in his relations with his i'eiiow man, he challenges the respect of all people.

He is a worthy candidate. In Anderson he is loved and respected by ail.

During the past tour years Mr. Henry has labored faithfully for the interest of Anderson aud through his personal efforts has located nine large factories aud assisted in locating four others. What do you think of tnis record? Good isn't it? Bynuin's will not compare with it. He has been in congress eight years, drawn $40,000 salary and done nut one thing of benefit for his constituents to .show for it. Vote for Henry the hustler and ask your democratic neighbor to do the same as Mr. Henry acta in Congress would benefit the citizen ot the district-irrespect-ive of patty

Mr. Duncan is well a ad favorably known throughout the county. He is a gentleman in every respect and well qualified to discharge the duties of his office. He is a fair man and will discharge the duties of his office faithfully ami impartially. He will see .that the laws areohoyed but persecute no oue. Vote for Duncan.

James L. Mitchell, the candidate for representative, is a native of Madison county, but has lived in Hancock county ail his life, except during the lour years •he was in the army. He has been a farmer, and has, by energy and industry, secured a fair shure of this world's goods, as he owns a nice farm in Green township, ail made by ttie toil of his hands. He was elected auditor of this county in 1886, but was defrauded of his cflice for sixteen months and made to expend nearly $2,000 to secure his rights. Mr. Mitchell knows tie needs of our people and is well equipped to represent Hancock county autl secure needed legislation. He is uu active member of the Christian church and a liueut speaker. He is opposed to double taxat ion. Ever}' man who has a mortgage ou his farm or home should support James L. Mitchell.

Jonathan A.. Ayers, the candidate for treasurer, is a Brown townslnp farmer who is industrious, re'inble and successful. He «s shown ability and sKill in managing his own finance and would be a most excellent man to look after the people's interests as county treasurer. Mr. Ayers is a genial, pleasant gentleman aud has made the acquaintance of and a favorable impression upon a large number of our voters.

Brazier \V\ Cline, the candidate for sheriff, is a new man in our county. Luiving come here as head curter with the r.i. R. Wells glass works.

Dr. no. J-'. Biaek of this city, the can1 didate for coroner, is an educated gentleluau and a skillful physician. He is centrally located aud would make an efficient I prompt and inexpensive coroner which is au object to the taxpayers. Mr. Black is a brother of the Hon. R. A. Black of this I city. Mr. Black »hou!d certainly be elected coroner.

A. C. Atlierton, of Sngarcreek towuship, the candidate for county surveyor, is a young man who has energy, push and ability. He was a successful teacher and later engaged in general merchandizI ing in Philadelphia. Mr. Atherton would serve the interests well of both county aud people, as surveyor.

Oliver P. Eastes of Buck Creek township, the candidate for assessor, is a clever gentleman aud one of the most successful school teachers of our county. He is well qualified for assessor as he is well acquainted with the value of land and property, and the interests of the taxpayers would be well cared for by Mr. Eastes.

The office commissioner is the most important in the county to the taxpayers. The welfare of the people demand that the best possible selections therefore bo rand?.

Henry's 3X#eti"gs at New Palestine and Cluiriottesvilie. Wednesday afternoou Charles L. Henry, of Auderson, and John B. Elaui, of Indianapolis, spoke at New Palestine to the largest political gathering there this year. Delegations were present from Cumberland and Acton, aud large numbers from elsewhere to about 2,000 in number. Music was furnished by the glee clubs from Anderson and Acton. Mr. Elani made the principal speech and it was splendid, fully covering the political field. Mr. Henry, in his stirring bus-iness-like way, made a telling speech of less than one hour. New Palestine did herself proud, aud is to be congratulated. There are a number of the solid, substantial citizens of that section who will this year vote the Republican ticket for the first time. They desire to continue our present prosperity.

AT CH.VKL.OTTESVILLE.

At night Mr. Henry went to Charlottesville aud held a rousing meeting in R. F. Porch's uew factory, which had been specially prepared for the occasion. There were 8o0 people present, being threw times as large as Byuum's meeting Monday. Mr. Henry delivered magnificent and convincing speech.

1 Sunday the Prfcsbjtorian church was reopened to the congregation and friends. E. P. Whalou, D. D., of Cincinnati, editor or' the Herald aud Presbyterian was present and delivered two powerful sermons. In tho morning he preached from the text "Lift up ye gates, ye everlasting doors be bs lifted up, and let the King of Glory ia." It was indeed a m.-tgo-iiiceut discourse. Dr. Whalou is a brliliant thinker ami a forcible and e!'- qneut speaker. The audiences were highly pleased with him. The music was excellent as tne church has a splendid choir. The church was beautifully decorated with dowers. It lias been reseated with comfortable modern pews, aud new stained glass windows of beautiful design, sever,-d of which are memorial windows have beeu put iu. The walls aud ceiling were decorated by East man, Schleicher & Lee, of Indianapolis, who are the leading and most artistic decorators in the state. The south east room is convo:ted into a cozy study for the pastor and altogether the church is one of the moot beautiful of its size to be found in the state. Its very handsome appearance is shown up with elegant effect by the brilliant electric lights which iihiiivunie it perfectly. The Presbyterians are to be congratulated upon their new home of worship. Much credit should be awarded their popular aud efficient pastor, Rev. S. S. Aikmau whose faithful and untiring energies has brought about this marked and splendid improvement. Now let the people follow the advice of Dr. Whalon's morning sermon and all will be well with the Presbyterian cliiuch in Greenfield.

Prospering and 15uilH:

That Hancock county farmers are steadily advancing in tho line ot' prosperity is easily demonstrated by the fact that no less than twenty-five citizens iu different parts of the couufcy are now building new residences or elegant barns.

What Omni iioiuls Wowlrf Jlean. [Rural Worl"-] All this they wouWdo, unless experi- yence goes for naught:

They would bring every farming corny muni ty into closer social relations. They would practically shorten the dis-?J. tance to the local market.

They would spare the farmer many vexatious and nervous strains. They would increase the demand for country and suburban property.

They wouid require less expense to keep them in repair than do the dirt roads. They would reduce to a minimum the wear atd tear on wagons and carriages.

They would make an evening drive a pleasure instead of a vexation as it is now. They would do away wjith the absurd poll-tax and supervisor sjgteni in places where it is still in use.

They would be, in short\he best possible investment to the taxp%er, ifbuili^.^and cared for by the national. (SSvernmeut and paid for by a national tax.

They would lessen the expense in keeping horses in working order, and vastly less horses would be requirod in the country to perform the farmer's work.

A Card From the Next Sheriff* EDITOR REPUBLICAN—I have been Informed that my opponents are trying to s~ injure me aud help their own causes by circulating the story that if I should be elected to the sheriff's office that I will not qualify. Will you say for me that this story is false, and that if I receive votes enough I will take great pleasure in qualifyii^g and becoming the next sheriff of Hancock county. While I did not ask for the nomination, and tiie action of the Republican convention was wholly unexpected to me, 1 accepted the nomination in good faith, and I do not want any one to vote against me on the ground tiiat I will not be the next sheriff if I should be eleccd Respectfully,

Our i'.ltsctric Liiihts.

The electric lights furnished our city are giving splendid .satisiaction. Additional lights are to be put in as follows: Corner Svvope and Walker streets Piersou street, opposite Dobbins alley Mechanic street, west of south school building corner Main aud Broadway corner Sixth and Wilsou corncr North and Bradley corner Main and State the light opposite the Guymou House will probably be removed to the postofflce corner. When these lights are in, Greenfield will be one of the best, if not, the best lighted city^ in the State. The electric lights are now in the Presbyterian church, and are very satisfactory. They are being put in a large number of the business houses and will be in operation Saturday night. The plant is certainly a good one. Now for water works.
