Attention, Republicans. The county nominating convention will be held at the court-house, in the city of Columbus, on Saturday, Sept. 3, 1892. At this convention candidates for the following offices will be nominated: A Representative of the Sta'te legislature, a county Sheriff, a Treasurer, Coroner, Surveyor, Assessor and Commissioners for the first and third districts. The con vention will be called to order promptly at 10 o’clock a. m. in the north court room. Every Republican in the county who can should attend this convention. Joel S. Davis, Chairman. J. R Matson, Secretary. The Republican congressional convention for the fifth district was held at Spencer last Thursday. Captain John Worrell, of Hendricks county, was selected to warm the seat that has for three years been occasionally occupied by one George W. Cooper. This is the same individual that challenged Mr. Cooper to a discussion of the political issues two years ago. The latter declined for the reason, then stated, that the former was not a candidate for office. As the cause of that objection is now removed, and Mr. Cooper allows no one to excel him in generosity, we shall expect to hear of an early challenge from Mr. Cooper to Capt. Worrell to discuss the issues of the day. Three States will vote for State officers in September. On the first Monday in that month Arkansas will elect a Governor, State officers and legislature. On the first Tuesday Vermont will elect a Governor, legislature and congressman. On the second Monday Maine votes for Governor, legislature and members of congress.

It is acknowledged by all that the ■South dictates national platforms for the Democratic party, and, further still, is the fact that the northern Democratic congressman must, and does, bow in humble submission to the will of the former southern slave-driver. It was at the behest of these tyrannical masters that Geo. W. Cooper and ten other Democratic congressmen voted to drive the tin plate industry from Indiana. Home industry, State or national pride count as nothing with these men. They are not free traders at heart, but to be solid with the solid South is the goal of their ambition. These men will stand on rostrums in northern States that are full of old veterans, and with tongues of deceit and falsehood enlarge upon their love for the old soldier, while they are clamoring for the election of a President, who, while in office, in the short space of six months vetoed more pension bills than did all the Presidents from Washington to Cleveland. You never hear these northern dough-faces resent any of the insults offered to these poor old veterans. Here is what a leading North Carolina paper, the Globe Democrat, has to say of the old veterans: “The pension fraud is theft, and we repeat that no man can honestly defend it. The South has been taxed to death to pay this grand army of rascals—these bottle-scarred bums who reach in the empty palm; and when Cleveland struck the beggars in the face he did a good business job. W e hope to God he may have a chance to hitj’em again. Vagrants and mendicants should be both vigorously slapped and kicked.” This is a beautiful tribute to the men who saved this country. Still you will not hear a Democratic orator denounce it. No Democrat will denounce this insult. Can the old soldier who is suffering from wounds and disease incurred during that fearful struggle for the Union vote for a party that will go out of its way to heap infamy upon him. Certainly not; they think too much of their fair name to assist a party to power who brands them as “rascals” and “bottle-scarred bums.” The old soldier, though a Democrat in principle, is not so lost to manhood and self-respect as to cast his vote with a party that thus slanders, villifies and hates him for no other reason than that he helped whip the South and preserved the Union.

The South Bend Tribune mentions the case of an old carpenter in that city who, on the 8th of May, 1858, did a day’s work for one of the local merchants and also bought some goods of him. The bill for the goods was as follows: 9 yards calico 123 c - $1.13 9 yards lawn 123c » - 1,13 8 lbs. coffee sugar 12Jc - 1.00 12 lbs. 8d. nails 7c - 84 Total, - - - $4.10 The carpenter got $1.50 for his day’s work, deducting which from the bill left him in debt to the merchant $2.60. This was in good old Democratic times, under a tariff for revenue only. If the transaction had taken place on May 8, 1892, under Republican protection, the carpenter would have received, instead of $1.50, $3 for his day’s labor, and his purchases would have cost him $1.52, instead of $4.10. Instead of coming out $2.60 in debt, he would have had his goods and $1.48 in cash. We commend the above to the careful perusal and study of some of our old Democratic friends who can verify the truthfulness of these statements. Among the number of our immediate acquaintance and especially referred to are Solomon Lambert, Adam Fishel, James Hanley, Benjamin Scudder, Wesley Simmons, Hon. A. D. Galbraith and Thomas May. These men at that time were all farmers, and bought largely of articles enumerated in the above list. Farm products were low and they were struggling hard to keep the wolf from the door. As we were then enjoying comparatively free trade and had to pay these enormous prices for articles that now, under the “infamous McKinley law,” can be bought for less than half they cost tnen, and as these men have

lived in both eras-, and are still Dem- : ocrats, will they tell us to what they ascribe this change? They certainly can ascribe it to some cause other than free trade, or they would cease to vote that ticket. Now would be ■a good time to make converts to their faith if they would explain this to the people, which they ought to be able to do. The great free-trade-do-nothing congress has adjourned. Its deeds of infamy and worthlessness have gone into history. Its members, including our own George W. Cooper, boasted high and loud of the wonders they were about to perform in the way of extirpating the McKinley tariff. We ourself, Eepublican as we were, took George William at his word, and for one year went with our pants frayed at the heel, bagged in the knee and seat all gone, believing that he would jump with both feet on this “infamous tariff law” and sink it into oblivion, and thus enable us to get at a bargain a new suit of all-wool clothes that now sells in the American market for $11.50, on which the duty is $8.75. George told us the tariff was a tax that the consumer paid, which, if true, would enable us to get our clothes for $2.75. But instead of redeeming their pledges, this congress, whose great majority is made up of blatherskites and hypocrites, contented itself with a few feeble attacks on our northern industries, such as wool, tin plate, etc. While they gave to their Southern friends free iron hoops for cotton ties, they said to the vinegar and wine producer in the North: “You must pay duty on your barrel hoops. ” Ah, there is nothing false nor sectional about Democracy! Just as soon as the Democrats get the power they will wipe out the atrocious Eepublican sugar bounty system and restore the sugar duties. Instead of paying millions of bounty out of the treasury to sugar planters, we will re-establish the revenue tariff on sugar.—Henry Watterson. Just so. “Consistency, thou art a jewel. ” Preach free trade in all the articles that protection protects, and that experience has already taught reduces the cost to the consumer, and advocate the placing of a two cents per pound duty on sugar that would filch $60,000,000 of the hard earnings from the pockets of the poor laboring people of this country. That is the Democratic doctrine of to-day. Eushville Republican: Parker Gardner, a respected Wabash county farmer, makes affidavit under date of Aug. 6, 1892, that he lived in DeWitt county, Illinois, in 1862, and was well acquainted with Adlai Stevenson, who then lived in Bloomington, 111., and that he saw Stevenson sell 20 revolvers to Knights of the Golden Circle, the purchasers intending to use them to resist the draft. This draft was ordered by Abraham Lincoln, and Mr. Stevenson testified in a speech at Louisville last week that Mr. Lincoln was a patriot. What, therefore, was Mr. Stevenson? Be was,and is, we are told, 1 ‘a Democrat. ”
