TaE DEMOCRATS of the Indianapolis District have endorsed Rev. De La Matyr, the National candidate for Congress. Now they ard. having a nice little time in whipping obstreperous Demo:rats into line.

JOHN SHERMAN has made a speech in Ohio. The Fort Wayne Sentinel thinks if the Indiana Republicans could be induced to employ Mr. Sherman to expend a little of his eloquence in this State, the democratic majority. would be largely. increased.

. “PLAN” DBUCHANAN, the leader of, the Indiana Nationals, expresses the' opinion, that his party will poll in the neighborhood of 100,000 votes, elect three or four’ members of Congress, and hold the balance of power in the Legislature. Ile is ofScourse liable to be mistaken in his caleulations. .

Tune New York Sun remarks that “some of Lthe newspapers that are-the most zealous in preaching up the new doctrine of the sacredness of accom-

plished fraud are also very much con cerned about the execution of the Re sumption-act.” Certainly.: Both be. ing frauds, they must go hand in hand

- ED. WEBSTER, late Assistant Secretary of State under Seward, is a levelheaded man, He receptly remarked to a correspondent: “This is all absurd prophecy about Grant being the next President. The Democrats will elect the next President. New York State will not ¢lect Conkling United States Senator. It is more likely to be E. D. Morgan.” _ i

. IBAAC MOORE, Esq., the républican candidate for Secretary of State, recently delivered a speech in Dubois county in the course of Which, according to the Jasper Courier; he violently abused the Nationals, and accused them of being “lazy vagabonds,” because they complain of the present hard times. Mr. Moore is not likely to gain anything by that kind of talk.

A CAPITAL POINT i made by, the Baltimore G'azette when it says: *“lf the argument of the Harrisburg Z'elegraph that every one who owns bonds is bound to vote the republican ticket is a sound one, them, by a parity of reasoning, every man who doesn’t own bonds should vote the democratic ticket. With the issues thus joined we think we can predict a demoecratic victory.” i Loy

EFrrorTs have been made during the past few days to_arrange a series of 'joint discussions bLetween Baker and Stoll. Just before going- to press the following was received from Hon. H. G. Thayer, chairman of the republican ‘cangresi’lbnal committee;: “I received a telegram from Mr. Baker that he was under the Doctor’s care, and not to arrange for joint canyass until he récovers.” {

- EVERY VOTER who sincerély desires better times can find a word of admonition in the report now current that some of the Democrats in both Houses of Congress are starting a movement in favor of the Forty-sixth Congress convening on the 4th of March next. It is held that enough dissatisfied republican Senators will join'with;tlgg Democrats to pass alaw to this effect, and that a two-thirds vote could be obtained if necessary, - It is assumed, of course, by those who are pushing the movemeit that the next House will be Democratie, and it is known that the Senate will be largelyso. The {reascm: assigped for the early meeting of the uext Congress is that early action may be taken on tlie depressed condition of the business of the country, the ,iﬂfa’ b,emgclgh;at’ the new Congress, coming directly from the paapie, Ay be supposed to have s, T Knowledge of What is needed. : ‘. i ﬁ»_.,:‘",;r *“"‘—_"’”g i , ~ General Butler has formally acceptod ‘an” naependent nomination for ly praposes to make his fight princi: M -DHLALe U7S ‘ e v"%‘;-:’ bl W o n-r‘-”"ﬁ?*"‘f Sha ¢ sople of Massachn. “,"Z’%é L"i?‘"%"’ m” u“]-, : W Q’e‘ g’} g4'” 4 5 MW"« g&%; T AR pin Ml N Byt L. vk A A eRR Rl e Y

- THATGERRYMANDER. - In his speech at Albion, and also at Ligonier, Gov. Williams dwelt extensivély on_the gerrymaderitig apportionment of 1872. | The subject thus diseussed being somewhat new to the people of thisf’qbuntjyf.‘,‘and’% good deal of inquiry having been raised in regard to the matter, we herewith append a few terse remarks by the Fort Wayne Sentinel - ; s There never was a mwore infamous outrage perpetrated than the radical gerrymander of Indiana for legislative, and congressional purposes. It was made in 1872, and wuas deliberately planned by Oliver P. Morton to insure his own return to the Senate. The election then just held had resulted in the choice of a Democratic Governor (Hendricks) and a republican legislature. Prior to the inauguration of Mr. Hendricks, Morton induced the then Republican Governor, Conrad Baker,: to convene the legislature in special session tor the ‘purpose of making an apportionment whicl, wnder the -constitution, would stand six years, The legislature met and !carried out the plan made by Morton regardless of fairness and decency. They thus deliberately disfranchised & majority of the citizens of the State, notwithstanding the protest of several republican members, Gov. Baker, although a republican, refused to sign the bill because of its outrageous character, and it became a law without his signature. . ' , The legislature to be chosen at the' coing election will re-district the State, to hold for the next six years. If the Democrats obtain the legislature they will do as they always have done—give the people a fair, just, and honest apportionment. If the radicals carry it, they will doubtiess perpet‘xjmte- the preseut infamous gerrymaner. I

An Omission.

EpiTonr DANNER.—-It seems to me that the eonvention which renominated ITov. John H. Baker for a third torm in Congress ueglecled some very mmportant matters in the passage of their resolutions. The followiug resolutions, drafted by Charles A. Dana, surely ought to have been incorporated into the platform: " Resolved, 'That we recognize the truth of those old maxims: that honesty is the best policy, and that the receiver of stolen goods isas bad as the thief; therefore, though we have no doubt that Rutherford B. Hayes obtained the Presidency by a fraudulent and larcenous conspiracy, nevertheless his title to the office is as clear and perfect as was that of George Washington. _ ) Resolved, That thovgh John Sherman mildly swore that he believed he did not write the Weber-Anderson letter, nevertheless as everybody else believes that he did write it, therefore John Sherman has proved himself worthy to superintend the collection, and disbursement of an annual revenue of $300,000,000, and to lead the country through honest paths to specie payments and permanent prosperity.

Resolved, That the touching interest which Mrs. Agnes Jenks has manifested in the Hon. John Sherman, by committing forgery for him in New Orleans (as she testifies), and by committing perjury for him in Washington (as everybody knows), demonstrates her eminent fitness for the position of Assistant. Secretary of the Treasury so long as John Sherman continues at the head of that department. : - ] I have an idea that John Raker can §tand on these planks. G "MILLERSBURG. '

RINGING WORDS.

The Maine Democracy, at their late State convention, inceorporated this. stout plank into their platform: . - “That we fully endorse the action of the majority of the House of Representatives in their investigation of the election fraud, by which the ¢ountry was cheated and robbed of the houest and righful possession of the offices of President ‘and Vice-President of the United States; and we insist that the guilty parties, whoever they may be, and wherever found; should be punished, 8o that truth and justice may be vindicated, and a repetition of the offence made impossible.” This is ereditable to the sound sense and virtue of the Maine Democracy; as it is in marked contrast to the course that has been taken by some Democrats in other parts of the country: 7 0 ) G sbiate T

A Good Selection.

A People’s convention met on Tuesday of last week, at Middlebury, Elkhart county, and nominated . L. Ballou, Esq., of Lagrange, for -Circuit Prosecutor for the Lagrange and Elkhart Circuit. The selection 1s an excellent -one, and ought to be ratified by & handsome majority at the polls. The Lagrange Register tljus speaks of the nominee: -

Mr. Ballou, the nominee, is a young man who stands very high in the estimation of the people of this county, without reference to party. As alawyer he has achieved a pesition in the profession that few of his age and experience. have obtained, which .is proven by his extensive and luerative practice, He is well qualified to discharge; with credit to himself and honor to the county, the important duties of ‘the -office .for which he has been. nominated, should he be elected, : -

We think that Mr. Baker will jfind it no easy task to deprive his opponent of the prize this time, provided you have time to. make a thorough canvass throughout the District. A great many people (espe - ciajly in the rural districts) need en-. lightenment on the finance question ;- then they would not be so apt to vote against, their own interests. 1f you have any leisure time, please leave an appointment for this place and we can insure you a large attendance, and we think it would have a telling effect on the voters. i <

' .- That man whom N. B. struck at the ‘big meeting in Washington township a few weeks ago has not been heard “ from since. ~ Mr. B. being in a great passion at the time, it is supposed that he struck his antagonist an underhanded blow, as he was seen descend‘ing in the direction of Round Luke until lie disappeared in. theidarkness.

We wo'd like to hear from the Hawpatch in regard to crops. In our opinion the Dy mocrats could ‘not have nominated a man for Sheriff that suited both parties any better than Richard Williams does. Scores of leading Republicans seem tobe just as much interested in securing his election as the Democrats are. He served very creditably as First Lieutenant in the late war, and isavery industrious, hard-working farmer, and eminently qualified for the office to ‘which he will be elected. lle will not have as much time to electioneer as his competitor, bat the people should take into consideration that this is a ‘bugy time of the year for farmers, and that ‘while one is electioneering, the ‘other.is hard at work on his farm. - We understand that Hon. David . Shields has all the required documents in his possession and is now preparing to take the stump in this county in favor of the National Greenback party. What will become of the two old parties now ? = The time seems to be right at hand ~when party strife will be ignored in

the election of our county offices, and if ““So” could. see all the scratched tickets after the election we think he would come to the conclusion that there were but very few that took his advice. We don’t think he would object to having some men belonging to the opposite party:vote for some of his favorite candidates. J. W

Fred. Huber, who lives 274 miles north and west of Wawaka, had nine head of sheep killed by dogs, onenight last week. Elkhart township being in arrears, no paying for sheep killed and damaged: to the amount of $l3O, is sufficient evidence that our next Representative, Mr. Shauck, should werk hard toghave a law enacted, entitled the Dog Law, and in substance as follows: “Be it enacted by the General Assembly of theState of Indiana, that every 'person who owns ot harbors a dog or dogs above the age of 6 months, shall pay a tax into the county treasury each year of $5 (five dollars) for ‘male, and $lO (ten dollars) for females, and that each person owning or harboring such dog-or dogs, shall put upon record with the proper trustee of the several townships, the date of ownership, with age; and that said dogs shall be furnished with a collar, with 9Wner’s ‘name; and that all other dogs not registered and wearing a collar, shall be deemed public nuisances, and the owners thereof shall be lesponsible for all damages without any exemption of property whitever.” I had the' pleasure of meeting with W.

ROME CITY NEWS.

: EDITED BY “ALEXIS,” The Steuben Republican says that the “Executive National Greenback Committee selected Col. Williams conditionally to supply the place made vacant by the refusal of Judge Tousley to serve.” And then it wants to know “what the conditions were.’— Now, we happened to be present when this selection was madé, and we happen to know that the editor of the Bteuben Republican has been treating his readers to an absolute falsehood when he published that article. It ‘seems to have been written in a bad spirit and done purposely to give vent to the anger of‘the editor. The com‘mittee had no trouble in selecting a candidate. They agreed upon Col. W. C. Williams, and his selection was an-. ‘nounced from the stand at the green‘back rally. Mr. Williams came forward and accepted the nonrination } publicly without any conditions wha%— evef, 'Now, Mr. Republican, we call upon you'to know what those conditions were. You are in honor bound to tell or apologize to your readers. FORMAL AND INFORMAL.—-WhenD. H.

Billy Williams has taken the stump, to try by his power of elogquence and oratory to convince an intelligent peoplethat MeCulloch’s contraction policy (now being carried out by John Sherman), the policy which ﬁnan(:ia}ly busted Billy and thousands of others, will bring prosperity to the country. When Billy has succeeded in doing this,. let no one doubt his ability to make a whistle out of a pig’s tail. John H. Baker is pitching into Moses W. Field. John H. doesn’t like Mr, Field’s Rome City speech, and he says that Moses is no lawyer. We are sorry for this.. 'Wonder what Moses will do when he gets to hear it? Indeed, it could hardly be expected that every lawyer could be well posted when John . knows it all,

Will some kind friend please inform us whether John H. Baker is running on his past record, or on the republican’ platform? As they are greatly at variance and antagonistic’ we would be pleased tu know which he is running on as the embodiment of his principles. oot :

. The Albion New Era, and indeed the entire repulilfcan press of Indiana, are r.ow pitching. into Dan Voorhees on his war record with relentless fury, and the same tactics have been adopted by demagogues and blatherskites on the :stump. ‘lt makes a vast dif- | ference with these hypecrites what ticket a man votes now. David, M. | Key fought in the rebel army and is now good enough to have a place irf a republican President’s Cabinet. Longstreet fought in the rebel army, and has long siuce been living on republi- + can patronage--the recipient- of re- ‘ publican appointments,—and every ‘rebel who now vetes the republican ticket is loyal and all'right. But as to Daniel W. Voorhees, who is charged with laving threatened to vote to withhold supplies from the army, although he afterward voted for all such supplies,” he .can never be forgiven; Never, no, never! :

While Billy Williams is on-the stump, will he be kind enough to tell this taxridden people why he voted to destroy the “old silver dollar,” and, why he thought his services so valuable to the people of this District that he voted for and took what is called the “salary grab?” R iyt

. We have heretofore neglected -to speak of the banners prepared by our committee and used- at our rally here on the 14th ult. ‘They were well gotten up and entitled the committee to praise and commendation. The first contained four sides, upon which was inscribed as follows:. “Ben Harrison’s Idiots. How do you like 'em?”’ Between the lines was a drawing of a granger, bard at work, with his mule .and plow. On- the next side was inscribed, “Sold"out but not delivered,” } ‘meaning that the republican party l “had sold out their greenback friends -to the money power, but who now refused to be delivered. The third inseription was, “Greenbacks saved our country.” The fourth contained a prophesy which will no doubt come: true, to-wit: “Orange township 300 majority.” Two other banners with this were carried in procession and made a good impression,. Do people ever'stop to think of the enormity of our publie debt, and the amount of interest the people pay thereon?. Tie interest amounts to the modest little sum of 83.17 every socond of timo; 10040 every minuto:

ery ddy. Thus it will be seen that the interest on our government bonds for the short space of fifteen minutes ‘would be sufficient to buy a reasonable sized farm ard make a laboring man ‘with a family comfortable all his life! ‘And yet consider that the bondholders who receive this vast amount of interest do not pay one penny of taxes thereon. We are often asked, How do you Greenbackers propose to remedy this matter? We will tell you: We propose;to repeal the law, making ‘the 5-20 bonds payable in coin; and pay them, according to the original contract, in greenbacks. ‘We will then call in all"the 5-20 bonds and stop at once the interest on $730,000,000, and give the people seven hundred and thirty million dollars more of circulating medium. This alone, we think, would ease up matters and give new life to business, and put the tramps to work. Next, we would repeal the out’rageous resumption act, and use the specie: now being hoarded to redeem non-interest-bearing greenbacks, and ‘commence paying off the coin bonds. Thus we would be continually reducing our interest-bearing debt and giving the people more money to do business with. Now, bear in mind that the National Greenback party is the ‘only party o@ering this relief to an oppressed and tax-ridden people—pretensions to the contrary notwithstanding. i -

The insurance adjusters have been here the greater part of last week, and we believethey have amicably adjusted the insurance on goods and furniture.. But the insurance on the building still remains unsettied. It will probably be adjusted in a short time. Doctor Wilson has just received from Germany a new and complete apparatus for treating consumption, and inflating the langs. The Doctor says that by the help of this ingenious and wonderful apparatus he can cure ‘the worst cases of dsthma and bronchitis, and he has full confidence in the successful *treatmegé of consumption. Persons visiting Kome should not go away without visiting the water cure and taking a mineral bath, S. W. Dodge has a number of me- | chanics at work putting up a new ‘building which was intended tobe put | on the east side of the lake, but the' burning of the hotel has made it necessary to put the building in town, for the time being at least. : Three excursion pic-nics last week, but nothing new worth relating. " The grading in the vicinity of the depot is about completed. It addsmaterially ‘to the appearance of the ‘grounds. » Watermelons, muskmelons, and ma--larious diseases apd flux are getting to be quite common about town.

The doctors’ harvest is now in full bmst.. o

When you hear a Republican howling about irredeemable fiat moneys please ask him what kind of money the greenback was before the passage of the resumption act? If he knows what fiat means, you will then see him “get.” : S Since the organization of our government up to the present time, all of our mints have only coined one-third ‘part enough money to pay our national bonds. Will some one better skilled in figures than we are be kind enough to inform us how long it will be before we are able to pay off our national debt in coin? | E

“D’s” Reply to “Sparta.”

MR. EpiToß:—Please allow me to reply to an article headed “D. of South Washington reviewed.” Being away from home is the reason of my not afswering any soomer. In the first place the man of wisdom asks “may not nouns often be governed in the objective case by an intrangitive verb.” I answer yes. But in the instance in which the party that I had reference to parsed the noun thus such could not have been the case. I couldhave given the sentence but I knew that the person for whom it was intended would understand it; and again, teachers, generaily, teach from books that are used in schools. It would be rather expensive for schol~ ars going to distriet schools to buy so many different books, Then again, he. comes down on me with his histories, and quotes from several, but did not prove his assertions very clearly. The most important point, where he' tries to prove that Columbus did make five voyages of discovery to the western hemisphere, he fails to prove or give any authority, He says: *Thule, by. many, is supposed to be Iceland, while others think Columbus reached the shores: of Greenland.” On this voyage I do not think myself qualified to suppose that much, but will quote history in regard to the discovery of Iceland and Greenland: “Iceland is an island in the Northern Ocean, remarkable for its boiling springs und flaming volcano. It was discovered by a Norwegian pirate in the year 861, and was §oon affer settled by the:Norweglans,” ete. . “Greenland is an extensive traet of barren country in the north ern frozen regions, separated from the ‘western continent by Bafiin's Bay and Davis' Strait.. 1t w&wﬁ%{ the Norwegians.thirty years after the discovery of Iceland,” etc. See.

A few weeks ago, we sug rested, | Shrough the columns of Tne m , the xmportanceqummgmm: ‘ vators generally raeeting together to | discuss the different methods of farming, quality of products, fertilizers, etc., and at no place within our knowl- | edge can this be done so well as at the County Fair, where the cultivators have brought together the results of. their season’s labor for exhibition and comparisen. This is what we should find" at the various Fairs, and these should be visited by every producer; whether his farm, garden or orchard be large or small. . Attend the Fairby all means, whether it be town, county | or State, and as many more as time and means will allow. I know that some will say that *“these local Fairs - ‘have but little interest.” ‘Then make | them interesting, and begin now to set about insuring a good exhibition of all kinds of products. Some onein such matters must be a leader or agitator. Many fail to exhibit because ‘they did not think of it. -See that your ‘neighbors have not this excuse, - Others would exhibit if they thought any one else would. Tell such that you will exhibit if they will. = Still others can be stirred up by aspirit of rivalry. Send word to such that you intend to beat them on grapes, apples, peaches, or whatever their special hobby may’ be. 1t is astonishing how one person, by a few timely words, can make some particular department of._q{,Eg_ng a success. s T e Gt R R

We want farmers who make a specialty of ‘stock to bring the best they have and all that they can. . We also want farmers gemerally to exhibit all kinds of farm, garden and orchard products. - It is also desired that the mechanical department and the ladies departmentbe well represented. Donot refrain from exhibiting because you fear someone eise hassomething better. Show the best you have, and if others have better learn how it is produced; and no matter if you are a Vanderbilt or an A. T. Stewart in wealth, it the premium awarded you is only 25 cents, take the money, We want every person to.have the premium awarded to them. No more, and ro less. Go to the Fair by all means, but go with something to exhibit, and be sure to take your wife and children, and see that your neighbors do likewise. .
