By order of Township Committee. W. P. BIDGOOD, Chairman. E.

J. BIN FORD, Secretary. SOME Democrats over the country are condemning the Cincinnati Enquirer becMiioe it is telling the people about Cleveland and the Democratic Senate laboring in the interest of the trusts, the corporations and the bond holders: Let all agencies be welcomed who will aid the people as against trusts and monopolists. The general good of all the people is to be desired before everything else. People cannot, however, be made happy and prosperous by legislation. First of all it must be in the people themselves, and then legislation will help them. It will be remembered t*hat thaljord helps those who help thernMhresl

THE Commercial Gazette says that "Coxeyisin" is a symptom but "Clevelandism" is the disease.

As THE Indiana cities all went Republican last week so the towns followed their example Monday. Never was there such a unanimous victory for any party as the Indiana Republicans gained last week and this It shows that Indiana will certainly go Republican this fall as will also Hancock county.

THE Atlantic Constitution, looking at the administration and Congress, honestly says: "We see how one victory has wrought more damage than thirty years defeat." We have lost the Hawaiian Islands. We have lost pretty much everything elsa, and have found only "the receiver" and "the free souphouses."

TIIE Democratic ^jarty kept saying for years, just give us a chance with all the branches of the government in our control and see what we will do to benefit the people. They haye had absolute control for the past fourteen months and what have they done. Nothing, absolutely nothing and as a farm goes to rack and ruin, whose owner does nothing, so does the government. Farms sell for less per acre, wheat is lower, wool is lower, labor is lower and in no demand even at a low price, Cleveland, Carlisle & Co. issuing bonds to borrow raoney with which to pay current government expenses. The people have had enough of democracy.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: The Treasury statement issued May 1st shows the receipts for the ten months of the present fiscal year to have been $245,809,749, and the disbursements $311,257,196, leaving a deficit for the ten months of $68,447,447. The pension disbursements, for the ten months of this fiscal year amounted to $117,305,184, as against $133,678,345 for the same period last year.

The Democratic party is pursuing its usual policy of running the government it controls, whether county, State ©r National, into debt. Although the old soldiers receieved about $16,000,000 less than last year the deficit was $365,500,000, or six and a half million a month. The government is not running behind by paying increased pensions that is sure.

TEII Democrats in Congress who long ago disgusted the country by their do nothing dishonest demagogical policy, have now disgusted themselves. Senator Vorhees is much displeased with the bill.

Although the Democrats have a majority in the Senate, said he, that majority was literally taken by the throat by a political tool in our own party, and compelled to make concessions that bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every self respecting Democrat and tariff reformer." Senator Yorhees's dissatisfaction with the new tariff bill is shared by a large majority of the Democrats in both Houses. The free traders are outspoken in denouncing the concessions to the sugar, coal, iron and lead interests. Senator Mills declares that it is an abominable bill." They will all vote for and pass it however. A Political Letter From Ir. W, B. Ryan.

ED. REPUBLICAN:—The State, Congressional and County conventions, (Marion county) are over and every person seems confident that the Republicans have named the succeeding officials. It is generally conceded that there is no stronger Democratic timber in the Seventh District than Grassburner Bynum, who is the prospective congressional candidate to succeed himself. At the same time, many of my influential Democratic friends candidly admit to me that he can not be elected. Disgusted Democrats are daily informing me that the party has so fairly demonstrated their incapability of sailing our great ship of State that they are henceforth unwilling to trust that party. In my limited acquaintance, there are so many thoroughly disgusted Democrats, that I am led to the belief that Indiana will easily roll up a Republican majority of fifteen or twenty thousand, when the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock. There has never been such confidence in victory in Marion county since she used to duplicate or excel Henry county's majority.

The old soldiers and "horny handed sans of toil" who trusted to the representations of peanut statesman of the "revenue only" type are almost as thoroughly disgusted with themselves as they are with the vacillating party which "roped them in.''

I see from your announcements that my old friend, Morris R. Higgins, is a candidate for Representative from Hancock. Truly, it is an indication of a healthy political pulse and an omen of victory, when such men as he enter the political arena. Let me urge the faithful and diligent Republicans of old Hanoock, so dear to my memory, not to permit so excellent material for a Representative fail of securing the place to which he aspires.

No man in Hancock, during the years it was my home, was more faithful, more diligent, more tireless, more enthusiastic in his devotion to Republicanism than M. R. Higgins. His moral character, educational attainments, mental acumen, unswerving fidelity to principle, incorruptible steadfastness of purpose, his knowledge of men, his grasp of affairs, his close track with people, both urban and rural fit him in a very marked degree to stand for the interests of Hancock in the general assembly, and for the highest good of the people of the whole state. I earnestly hope he may receive the nomination and predict for him a better chance for election than has fallen to any Republican candidate for that office within my memory.

Respectfully, W. B. RYAN.

Indianapolis, May 7th.

Who Wljl Pay The 1)111?

The receipts of the government for the nine months ending March 30, 1894, thow a loss in customs revenue of $53,000,000, being an average of nearly $6,000,000 per. month—equal to $250,000 per day. The revenue seems to be reducing itself without the aid of the Wilson bill.

JOINT SISNATOKIAi CONVENTION AT CARTHAGE.

Thirty-Seven Ballots, Fifteen For Stoner, Fifteen for Kennedy.

Joint Senatorial convention Hancock and Rush counties, met at Carthago last Friday was called to order by Chairman W. P.Bidgood,of Hancock. The chairman of the committee on organization, R. A. Black, reported permanent officers, as follows:

Chairman, J. F. Moses, of the Rush ville Republican. Secretary, W. S. Montgomery, of the Greenfield REPUBLICAN.

Assistant Secretaries J. W. Ramsey, of Greenfield, J. M. Stephens, of Rusiiville.

The counties reported their delegations full, and then on motion of Col. Ed Wolfe the counties were called alphabetically for the nominations. R. A. Black responding for Hancock county named Elmer E. Stoner, of Greenfield, iu an able and argumentative speech. James A. Watson, of Rushville, nominated Archibald Kennedy, of Rushville, in an earnest speech.

John Corcoran was elected chairman of the Hancock county delegation, and F. A. Capp, for Rush county. The first ballot resulted in Stouer receiving thirteen votes from Hancock, and two from Rush, total fifteen. Kennedy fifteen from Rush. There being tio nomination the balloting was continued without change until twenty-one ballots were cast, and then on motion of Judge W.A. Cullen, the convention took a recess for 15 minutes. After the convention re-assembled the voting was continued lor ten ballots as before. Stoner 15, Kenhedy 15. At this time Col. Woife moved that the convention adjourn indefinitely, which motion was discussed vigorously, and after being amended several times the motion and amendments were laid upon the table.

Judge Cullen moved to cast five more ballots, and in case a nomination was not made then the convention adjourn indefinitely. R. A. Black moved to amend by making the ballot a secret one which ameudtnent carried, and then a tie vote resultiug on the motion it was declared carried by the chair. From this decision R. A. Black appealed, but Chairman Moses instead of putting the question in a parlimentary manner "Is the chair sustained" put it backward, so as to throw the appealers in the affirmative, and the vote again resulting in a tie he declared the appeal lost, saving it took a two-thirds vote to sustain an appeal from the chair. That is new parlimentary law. The convention then proceeded to take the five ballots as provided by Judge Culleu's motion.

The 33rd, or 1st secret ballot resulted in 15 for Stoner and 15 for Kennedy. This continued for three more ballots, when Judge Cullen moved that a recess of 15 minutes be taken for consultation. The 37th and last ballot resulted as did all previons ones in 15 for Stoner and 15 for Kennedy.

The convention was a hot one, although the best of feeling was maintained throughout. Each delegation maintained a bold and solid front. R. A. Black was chief manager from Hancock county, while Judge Cullen and A. W. Posey had charge of Rush's interest. In addi tion to T. E. (Buck) Hill and Reuben B. Henley, who voted for Mr. Stouer on every ballot, there were two or three other Rush county delegates who were disposed to help us, but the pressure was too strong for all except Messrs. Hill and Henley, who with their township, Ripley, back of them stood solid for Stoner every time, and for which we are very gratful to them.

The Rush county managers declared that the adjournment would refer the whole matter back to the people, and that a new set of delegates should be appointed. They may do so if they want to, but the delegates who were there from Hancock county are certainly good enough for us.

It is not definitely known just when the next convention will be held, but Hancock county will be, present with additional arguments and reasons why Hancock county should have the candidate for Senator, Mr. Stoner won many friends among the Rush couuty people at the convention, and should certainly have an increased vote from Rush next time.

As to Newspaper Controversies.

When a man lives in a glass house he shouldn't throw stones and the REPUBLICAN is now torry that it ever made a cast at the Tribune. We are told that it is going to hit us hard this week, but we don't believe it's editor (if it has one) has the nerve to keep up the fight. "Keepcomin" Bro. Mont, the half hasn't been told yet.—Daily Tribune.

The REPUBLICAN is not sorry that it showed up the Tribune as an advocate of the Democratic candidates in the city election when it claimed to be independent or non-partisan. The REPUBLICAN always taken pleasure in exposing fraud, and it did so effectually in the above case. The name of the publisher and proprietor of the REPUBLICAN has appeared at the head of its editorial column for the past six years during the present ownership, and no one need be in ignorance as to who assumes the responsibility for all articles in the REPUBLICAN. AS to the "nerve" to keep up a little petty newspaper controversy, the editor of the Tribune is mistaken as to what is necessary. It does not take "nerve" it takes two fools one at each end of the line and on that score the REPUBLICAN has always preferred to be counted out We do not believe in newspaper controversies on personal matters. The public are not interested in them and it only excites their disgust and contempt for any editor who is silly enough to continually and persistently indulge in bickering. Children can to a certain extent be excused for making mouths at each other on the grounds of youth and ignorance, it does not take nerve to do it, but men who pretend to be qualified to edit a newspaper should certaiuly have more sense. Newspaper controversies only tend to advertise the newspaper spoken of and we do not care to advertise our opponents. If they want to advertise the REPUBLICAN we wish them' success.

Still They Come.—More Candidates.

This week three more gentlemen announce themselves as candidates for nomination on the Republican county ticket.

FOR TREASURER.

John G. McCord, of McCordsville, Vernon township has at last yielded to the solicitation of friends and desires that he be announced as a candidate for thd nomination of Treasurer of Hancock couuty. Mr. McCord is a native of this couuty is now about 50 years old and one of our best known and solidest citizens. His name is a synonym for honesty and uprightness and wherever he is mentioned, people say he is just the man for Treasurer. He is a contractor iand builder and timber dealer and has made a success of his own business, beiug well to do, and the finances of the the county would be safe in his hands.

FOR AUDITOR.

Waller G. Bridges, of Wilkinson, Brown township is a candinate for Auditor. Mr. Bridges is a son-in law and partner of that solid Republican, Wm.

He is a son of Jack Bridges of Center township, is a clever and successful young man who has the energy mid hustling ability to get there, if nominated.

FOR PROSECUTOR.

Being away when A. W. Hammer, of Willow Branch, Brown township announced his name in the REPUBLICAN as a candidate for Prosecutor, we failed to give him proper mention. Mr. Hammer is a son of I N.t Hammer, of Brown township atid together with his four brothers has always been known as a warm advocate and stalwart defender of Republicanism. He was admitted to the bar several years ago aud has practiced in the counties of Hancock, Henry and Madison and would, if nominated make a successful fight and fill the office to the satisfaction of taxpaye rs.

HE MADE A HIT.

A Greenfield Boy Wins Laurals As An Orator {it a Banquet.

On Tuesday night the post graduate class of the Georgetown University of Law gave their annual banquet. Your correspondent being present as a guest of Raymond E. Geary, a member of the class, and who responded to the toast, "Our Clients." At 8:30 the guests repaired to WeJckner's banquet hall, on Fifteenth street, and for two hours we dined most sumptuously. The dinner consisted of twelve courses, and was well suited to please the taste of the most fastidious epicurean. A number of distinguished gentlemen were present. Perhaps the most conspicuous of whom was the Hon. Jere Wilson, the senior counsel for the plaintiff in the famous PollardBreckenridge breach of promise suit. Congressman Donovan, of Ohio, was also present, and at the request of the toastmaster, made a few pleasant remarks. It is not my intention to give a fftll report of the banquet, but rather a cursory account of that portion in which my esteemed friend and companion, Mr. Geary participated.

When the dinner had been served, and as we sipped our coffee and smoked an Havanna, the toast-responders arose in their places and delivered their respective addresses. A. S. Nichner, the toastmaster, introduced Mr. Geary in the following unique and appropriate words: "We have one thing to regret, aud that is the absence of our clients, but they will be well represented by our esteemed fellow student, Raymond E. Geary.

An ovation greeted this announcement and Mr. Geary arose and for som time entertained the distinguished party with his quaint, laconic and terse sayings, affording the veteran, Judge Wilson a deal of hearty laughter. His delivery was natural and graceful, while his articulation was clever and distinct. Many pronouQced his toast as the best of the evening, and it is my humble opinion that it merits that rank. At least he has proven himself a pleasant aud inimitable afterdinner speaker. GRANT E. PRICE,
