Mr. WILSON'S MIRACLE.

."Come down, you nit rascul!" says Wilson, sczee. "You tariff-fed robber, you fraud on the free!

You're swollen with rights, you re rolling in wealth. Come down till I skin you for the good of your health!

It's a in at. tor of coiiscience with me.," Says Wilson, sczee.

What!! Your wage- keep half of the people you say, And the farms of the other half never would pay Ift were not for your factories, and—Gracious! "what's that? Can it really be true that you're not very fat?

Well—really—dear me! That's different!"says Wilson, sezee.

"In that cose it. grieves me to take off your skin! Perhaps you've

some

choice as to where to begin?

Then I'll skin you in patches and spin the.job out, Which will fill you with pleasure and gladness, no doubt,

I'll do it quite gentieman-lee," Says Wilson, sezee.

"'Twill not. be so painful, if I do my best! You just furnish the skin, and I'll do the rest And after you're flayed I will show you a trick, A. Free-Trader's miracle, wonderfully slick. 'Tis worth being skinned to see,"

Says 'Wilson, sezee.

You remember how five thousand people were fed With two little fishes and five loaves of bread? "Well, that isn't in it with my little tricks. For I'll take one from two and the result will be six!

That's my pet theo-ree!" Says Wilson, sezee.

"What you've got-, I take from you you,ye no bread or meat, Sat the longer you starve the more you can eat. An unheard of demand thus created, 'tis plain, The supply that must follow will fat you again!

Till you're big as three!" Says Wilson, sezee.

"My plan's a sublime one—so simple! so grand! It works by the law of supply and demand 'Tis as simple and easy as drawing your breath! "You make yourself fatter by starving to death!

Just try it and see!" Says Wilson, sezec.

ANANIAS, JR.

The New York Sun says the Wilson "bill is the greatest immbug of the age.

If Queen Lil had been restored to her Hawaiian throne, would Grover have been made Prime minister when he was out of a job over here?

The last bond sales in a time of peace was under the democrat administration of James Buchanan. Bonds are unnecessary and unpopular with our people now.

"Slipperv Elm Dak" is the new name for Senator Vorhees. He is certainly the grand acrobatic performer in the Cleveland circus. He rides three or four horses each going in different directions, turns summersaults with ease, either backward or forward, and lands on the pie shelf every time.

The Democratic party pledged the country in its Chicago platform that it wold give it

Free Trade, Free State Banks. Free Coinage of Silver, and just make things hum generally. Ask some well posted Democrat if they have carried out their pledges.

I- Pbof. Wilson and the Cleveland financiers are good ones. The government shortage is now about $10,000,000 a mouth and the Wilson bill reduces the revenues $05,000,000 per annum or over $5,000,000 a month. Who ever before heard of getting out of debt by reducing your income and keeping on with the same expense. Cleveland and Carlisle think they can keep the ship afloat by selling government bonds with both principal and interest payable in gold.

Just wait till they hear from the people. Gold bonds may be a good thing for Cleveland's friends in New York and London, whose faults are filled with boarded wealth wrung from the people and nation in the way of "interest. Of course they want another whack at the people, but the persons, the great mass of voters who have said interest to pay, are not favorable to a bond issue in time of peace and the political party that insues them will be sent to the rear.

A Lemon For The Boys.

Pendleton Republican. Rev. Harry Case, of Laurel, wrote a letter to Chief of Police Welker, at Andersen, concerning his son John. It was very pathetic, and laid the whole cause of *is son's trouble to bad company. There «ras one other cause, no doubt, and that -was liquor. The two go together. John fead an -opportunity to make a man of himself, CQQld have went in good company, but instead he desired to run the streets of nights, smoke cigarettes, and thought it smart to act "I'm a tough to ho-boe and be&t his way on the trains he considered an accomplishment. But now, when it is too late,he sees his folly. What a fool he was, abpl behind the prison bars he is reaping his bitter reward. lie plead guilty to the charge of burglary, and will be sentenced to two years in the penteutiary.

KKPUBL1CAN WISTICT CONVENTION.

Large, Enthusiastic, Harmonious Gatherings. Last Thursday Republican District Committeemen were elected in each of the thirteen districts of the State, and the new men ara hummers, being principally vouug inen. The following is the list:

First—W. C. Mason, Rockport. Second—Thomas J. Brooks, Bedford. Third—E. H. Tripp, North Vernon. Fourth—A. E. Nowlin, Lawrencebnrg. Fifth—W. W. Lambert, Columbus. Sixth—George W. Cromer, Muacie. Seventh—J. W. Fesler, Indianapolis. Eighth—X. Filbeck, Terre Haute. Ninth—X. C. Shirl- y, Kokotno. Tenth—Charles Harley, Delphi. Eleventh—George A. Osborn, Marion. Twelfth—3. A. Wood, Angola. Thirteenth—R. B. Oglesbee, Plymouth. The committee contains live old mem bers and eight new one?, the new ones without exception being young men and "hustlers." It is beyond doubt the strongest and most active committee the party has had in Indiana in years, aud can be depended upon to leave no stone unturned in the next campaign.

SEVENTH DISTRICT.

R. A. Black, Chairman, J. W. Fesler. Committeeman. The Seventh district Republicans met in Superior Court room, No. 1, at Indianapolis. and the room was filled to its fullest capacity, and it was without doubt the largest most enthusiastic and harmonious conventions ever held in the Seventh District to select a committeeman. We take the following account of the convention from the Indianapolis Journal ''Promptly at 1:45 o'clock the convention was called to order by Charles S. Wiltsie, member of the State central committee from the district. In a short speech he thanked the committeemen of the district for the substantial support which they had given him in the cam paign two years ago. He said too much could not be said for the committeemen ot the district, who acted harmoniously and with the single purpose in view of carrying the ticket nominated to victory, or materially reducing Democratic majorities. They had, under the leadership of Charles Henry, of Madison county, made a record of which they could justly be proud, and reduced the Democratic majority from five thousand to 1 240. In concluding, he said, "With this record before me I cheerfully retire from the State committee and make way for the worthy gentleman whom you shall select here to-day."

There were no contests for seats and Chairman "Wiltsie called for nominations for chairman. James T. Layman placed the name of Richard A. Black, of Greenfield, before the convention. The announcement of the name was received with applause and it immediately became apparent that the convention was pleased with the nomination. He was elected by acclamation. As he came forward he was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers which subsided only when he stood beside the temporary chairman. As the cheering ceased Mr. Wiltsie said: "Gentlemen, Chairman Black needs no introduction." This was the signal for renewed applause.

The chairman said: "Gentlemen, I thank you for the high honor you have conferred upon me in thus choosing me as your chairmau, and most heartily congratulate the Republicans of the Seventh congressional district on the favorable auspices uuder which we are assembled here this afternoon and under which the campaign opeus. There has never been a time in the political history of Indiana when the party was as determined and enthusiastic as at this time. I have always believed and said that the Democratic party was incapable of go verting a great country like ours and if proof is necessary to establish this we have it abundantly about us in the alarming conditions now existiug. The Democratic party is a very peculiar one and is the only one that has to run a man for the presidency who is better than the party. I did at one time think that Grover Cleveland was better than his party, but from his associations oi late I have concluded that I was mistaken (laughter) The Democratic party is the only pHrty whose chief adviser to the executive is a man whose ideas of statesmanship and diplomacy are governed by hatred aud malice for that great man whom he can envy, but not emulate. (Great applause.) It is the only party under whose rule the Americau flag has been hauled down 1'iom the pinnacle where it floated in the breezes. (Applause) It is the only party who sent an accredited minister to a friendly republic with protestations of love and secret instructions to destroy that republic. In the case of Judas Tscariot's betrayal of his Master, there were extenuating circumstances. Judas betrayed his Master for the love of gold, and had a due apprecia-tion-oft he eternal fitness of things when he hanged himself. I have heard of no vacancy in the chair of the Secretary of State. It is the only party that sought to bring reproach upon the suffering and privations endured byt he soldier who fought for the preservation of tbe Union. This party might at one time have been big enough to govern our country, but now, ^wheu our business and social relations are limited only to the bounds of the civilized world, it is entirely incompetent for the task. I congratulate you, gentlemen, that you are not responsible for the supremacy to-day of a party whose chief legislation is commended in England and condemned in the Uuited States, and under whose administration factories are supplanted by soup houses. Thore is no doubt of our success this fall. Now, let Marion county wheel into line with a large Republican plurality, and I assure you that, for the first time in its history, Hancock county will give a Republican plurality, and I am assured that Madison county will do the same. We will elect our State ticket, of course, and, of course, we will elect the next President of the United States. I believe tbe voters who wfl( elect the' next Democratic President are yet unborn."

As Mr. Black concluded he attempted to call for nominations forsecretay, but was interrupted by loud and prolonged applause. When it subsided he called for nominations, and John B. Waliingford, of Madison county, was chosen by acclamation. W. N. Harding, of Marion, J. F. McClure, of Madison and W. S. Montgomery, of Hancock were appointed a committee on resolutions.

The convention then proceeded to the selection of committeeman, Merrill Moores, in a brief- speech nominated James W. Fesler and the nomination being seconded by both Hancock and Madi son county, a motion lo nominate by acclamation was carried and he was decl red the uhanimons choice of the convent Ion. He came forward and thanked the delegates for tbe honor conferred upon him. He did not accredit his election to

any personal qualification but to the recognition of the fact that the active, aggressive, earnest forces of the Republican party were to be found in the young men as the calm, sober, conservative judgment was to be found in the older members of the party. There were then loud calls for a speech from Mr. Henry, who occupied a front seat in the Madison county delegation. He tried to pvadf the calls by calling attention to the fact that the resolutions committee was ready to report bat could not. The calls for a speech increased in volume till he was compelled to yield aud came forward. In his sjjeech he forcibly arraigned the Democratic policy on the tariff as outlined in the Wilson bill. He cited the fulfillu eat of the prophecies of Republican newspapers during the last campaign in the stagnatiou of busiuess now existing He also denounced the Hawaiian policy of the administration. The committee on resolutions, then reported the following resolutions, after which the convention adjourned: "Be it resolved by the Republicans of the Seventh congressional district of the State of Indiana, in convention, that Ave denounce the Wilson bill now pending in the national Rouse of Congress, as a great evil, which threatens the glory aud perpetuity of our country, by forcing upon the American laborers tlio schedules of pauper wages paid the laboring classes of the old world. "We believe that labor forms the greatest trt of the capital of any people because all wealth proceeds originally from production, and all productiou proceeds from labor. We therefore !emand lor the laboring classes of America steady employment and fair wages, which essen tials we believe are not secured to the laborer in America uuder the Wilson bill, against excessive competition from foreign countries. "We denounce the Democratic party for forcing upon the people of this country, by fraud and trickery, a Democratic Congress, hostile to the protective system of America, and by reason of the anticipated change of our tariff laws, for having caused two million of our laboring people to be thrown into idleness, want aud mi-ery. "We believe that the greatest good for the greatest number of our people can only be accomplished by the adoption of a just system of protective tariff laws, which has been the policy of our government for nure thau thirty years under Republican rule, and which policy has always been in iavor of giving employment to American labor as against the labor of Europe, and at the same time making and building up a home market for the products of America. "Under this policy the people of the Uuited States have advanced in all things th-tt go to make up a rich, prosperous and happy people. "The large number of industries that leaped into existence all over our country under the operation ot the McKinley bill, and the unparalled prosperity of our people that followed its wake, are but proofs of tbe great wisdom of the Republican policy and of the patriotism of that party to our people. We therefore believe in the manifest wisdom of the McKinley law, and in the interest of the whole people we demand that it shall not be repealed. "We condemu the present Democratic administration for hauling down the American flag in Hawaii, and we denounce it as cowardly, un-American, aud unpatriotic, and .we insist that all possible encouragement be given the provisional government by our Republic. "Resolved, further, That the thanks of this convention be and the same are hereby tendered the Hon. Charles S. Wiltsie for the efficient and able manner in which he has discharged all the duties of committeeman of this congressional district during the last two years."

THE NAIL WOKKS liECEIVEKSQie.

Is There any Political Itespousibility.

The Democrat in assigning a reason for the Nail Works ceivership said: "No danger about it being charged to the Wilson bill or Mr. Cleveland's administration. The works have been managed by Republicans a 11 the time and are now in the hands of a Republicen receiver. It is like a good many other concerns over the country. It has purchased more than it could pay for aud the creditors are now wanting their money, and ti.us they are in the hands of a receiver. If Uncle Franklin Lanaers had managed it we think it would have been different."

The works run until the general stagnation of business which followed the return of the Democrat party to complete control of the government, aud then they were compelled to to close down because building generally stopped over the country and there was no demand tor their nails. The Democrat commends .the judgement of Franklin Landers in the last sentence. We give below what Mr. Landers said of the Cleveland administration at Marti nsvill at a Democratic meeting Jan. 8: "If I don't like an administration I am apt to say so. To my mind to follow tbe present administration is to fail of success. The administration i* for the east on the money question. They tell us there is an abundance of money but we know there is not. They tell us gold will go at a premium. They don't want to tell the truth, (f you set them down as telling the truth you must set thera down as ignoramuaes. But they are not. They are the shrewdest men in the world. If you indorse this administration, nothing but defeat awaits you. I venture this a prediction. I am in the fight to the finish. I am for the dollar of 1873. I want it so a man can coin his sllttr bullion by paying tbe expenses of coinage. And tbe man that I vote for for Congress has got to stand there. We want no more, baby talk, 1 am tired of it."

A Chronu' Grumbler anil Kicker The Democrat was not pleased with tbe organization of the Republican County Central Committee, but that surprises no one. It was not organized to please it. The Democrat is degenerating iuto a chronic grumbler. It kicks about Lewis being appointed postmaster, it kicks .against Byuuui, aud it kicks against Cleveland, so much so that Democrats all over the county are kicking against it. The Republican organization is all O. and will make a magnificent organization and fight this ear.

Nearly eve democratic Congressman of prominence who has spoken in favor of the Clevelaud tariff bill has admitted that the bill would reduce wages in this country and that it is iuteiided to do that very thing. If they had only been ns frank before the last Presidential election the country would have escaped much misery.

If you wish to get lip the dander of a democratic Congressman, send him a cuckoo clock.

It would not be quite so bad if the democrats in Congress knew what they wanted to do, and had the courage to do it.

If pledges of democratic Senators can be relied upon the Cleveland tariff bill can never pass the Senate in its present shape.

There is but one American Hawaiian policy, and that is not the one that Mr. Cleveland was compelled to reluctantly abandon.

Having gotten into public life by reason of his lack of socks, Jerry Simpson should not parade his surplus shoddy overco ts before the country.

An exchange says "the democratic party is on the road to ruin." It would seem that it had already arrived, and that it had dragged the country along with it.

Secretary Carlisle is quoted as saying that if Congress does not help him soon be must "do something." He has developed a faculty for "doing something" too late to do any good.

No man is so blind as he that refuses to see. That is the kind of bliudness Mr. Clevelaud is exhibiting in insisting that Congress shall carry out his policy of restoring Queen Lil.

The den.o rats in Congress decided to separate the income tax from the Cleveland tariff bill because of their fear that both would be defeated if they did not

Liliuolcaiana is now open to American dime Museum engagements. She guarantees to reproduce the cannibalistic stare at every performance hich was on her face when she informed minister Willis of her intention to behead the members of the provisional government.

A tariff that would swipe the stuffing out of Yourtown and put a high duty on everything turned out in Mytown represents tbe views of many democrats, and is about as near to practical common sense as the average democratic Congressman ever gets.

So it was by mistake that Secretary Morton's speeches were dead headed through the mails as official busiuesa! There seems to have been several mistakes innected with Mr. Morton's official life, and the greatest one was made when he was selected for Secretary of Agriculture.

Nero fiddling while Rome burned wasn't "in it" with the iudifference with which the wage-earners of the south see themselves degraded by those they have elected to Congress. Many of them realize that shackles will be placed upon them by tbe Cleveland tariff bill, but tbey lack the moral courage to publicly protest.

Mynum Again a Candidate, It is now announced that W. D. Bynum has concluded to again be a candidate for Congress. He made this decision after a conference at Washington last week with John P. Frenzel. he Indianapolis banker. Mr. Bynum may be a caudidate again, but he will not be re elected. He cannot fool the farmers again, even if he does promise them $1 or 1.25 a bushel for wheat. Nor can he fool the factory men by claiming that work will be more abundant and at higher wages under Democratic control than it was under Republican rule.

Business Changes at New Paleatiue. Owing to his increasing business in the Embalming and Undertaking line, Max Herrlicb, the funeral director at New Palestine is now devoting his entire time to that branch of bis work. Mr. H. sold his painting and paper hanging business to his hustling young assistant, Charles Waggoner, wbo has since sold an interest to John WestlRke, and these clever voung men, Waggoner and Westlake, will be glad to have those iu need of painting or papering to give them a chance to figure on tbe work.
