OUR TICKET FOR 1880. FOR PRESIDENT, THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, OF INDIANA, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, ♦ CLARKSON N. POTTER, OF NEW YOKE. “One hundred and fifty “Democrats at one dollar a head.” , Some day Thos. R. Cobh jfill be Governor of Indiana. .) Enough Democrats, says the Press, can be bought for one dollar a head to carry the county next year. “Fifteen hundred dollars” was the Press’s price for publishing the delinquent list in the days of “good stealing.” . One dollar a head is the price the Press declares Democrats of Pike county can be bought for to vote the Republican ticket. Has the editor of the boys’ organ made out a list of the one hundred and fifty Democrats they boast they can buy at a dollar a head ? Should a Democrat or a National vote the Republican ticket next fall, are we to infer that he was bought up at the regulation figure—one dollar a head ? How much a head do Pike county Republicans propose to offer for. National voters? A dollar a head is what the Press says Democrats cau be bought for. Will our respected but verv illogical contemporary relate an instance where the Democrat ever said a word about his miserable grammar in connection with the discussion of any public question ? 1, a John Crow’s estimate was fifty cents a head for enough Democrats to elect him to “any office in Pike county.” Remembeiring Crow's lamentable failure, the boys have raised the price to a dollar a head. Our esteemed neighbor has not yet been able to refute the Democrat’s charge that he manufactured the falsehood that Hand pinks “uroreued fears that the negroes would outstrip the white Hoosiers in the arts and scionces.” ■_ , How’s this? The Press would like to see Gen. Morton C, Hunter nominated for Governor of Indiana” when only a few short days before, the “boys” had ordered the votes of the county to be cast solid for Shackelford.

We are willing to suffer the consequences of onr neighbor’s anger at our criticisms of his bad English. We have onr reward in the consciousness of having cured him of saying “he done,” etc., for "he did.” We trust the cure is permanent. The Republican plan is to elect a6 many township trustees this spring m possible for the purpose of crowing oyer “Republican gains” in the State and also that they may be able to support at public expenses as many “exodusters” as possible without its being found out until their votes havebeen secured. The Democrat says this week all it hat to say, tor the present, on the subject of extravagance in the management of our county affairs. Only false statements, should any such appear in the Press, will cause it to refer to the matter again. We think we have shown to the satisfaction of all their friends that the officials of the county are conducting its affairs in a perfectly satisfactory manner. The last time the Press published the delinquent list it charged $1,500 for it. This is more money than the sum total of what the Democrat has charged tor all the lists it has ever printed, the present one included. That was about the last grab the boys were able to make at the county treasury, The “days of good stealing,” as they were wont to call them, were seen to be nearly over and they wanted to finish making hay while the a»a shone. THfc Press will probably have to devote week about to Shackelford and Heilman. One week’s issue should be utilised in laying before its readers extracts from Shackelford’s blue ribbon speeches where he abused saloon keepers in a style, we are told, that would delight Luther Benson himself. Next week he would please the boys by recounting how Heilman, when a candidate, is accustomed to buy up whole saloons, telling the former proprietor, ‘-Yoost you run it in mein pehalf till dot lektlon shall peen ofer.” . _ _ _ f; ■ The Press is distressed at the possibility of a disagreement in the opinions expressed on the outside ot the Democrat with those on the inside. Don’t worry, neighbor: you made yourself ridiculous week before last by quoting the bare opinion of the Supreme court of Maine as an editorial expression of opinion as to its merits, and then contrasting said opinion with something the Democrat bad said about the individual members of the court In the language of “rise up” Wm. Alien, we fear you are a “d—d barren ideality.”

I ssssssassss—ssssssg^js, The Democrat, in a recent issue, took the liberty to point ont some inexcusably bal grammar In onr esteemed contemporary, and the editor, unwilling to suffer chastisement in the cause of good English, got “mad* and said some very naughty and irrelevant things. The Democrat belie vet that all printed matter should be at free as poss ible from vulgar erirort and is alway i ready to acknowledge a just criticism of mistakes it may be guilty of. _ Dotes the Press think the people are fools, that, in the light of his record for merciless extortion, his hypocritical professions of reform will be believed? Why, the very existence ol the Press afte r this year depends upon whether the Republicans get the next Sheriff or not. We have it on pretty reliable authority that the party oxpoets to allot? the Press to suspend in the event of a failure to elect their candidate for Sheriff. Does this look much like doing the county printing for nothing, when the very life ot their organ depends upon its getting such printing? , Evert man has the right to select his own abode, but no man has the moral right to entice'the poor, ignorant negro away from a comfortable home in the South to come to Indiana to vote. That is what Indiana Republicans have done and are doing. This fact han been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt by Senator Voorhoes’ invest igating committee, as all will agree who have read the Associated Press reports of the testimony as they have appeared in the Democrat and nearly all other newspapers in the country. For printing two railroad notices and 4,000 assessor's blanks the present editor of tho Press (now trying to appear under the colors of a reformer) received $106.50. That was iu the Republican days of “good steal in,” as they used to call it. The two notices at present legal rates could not have cost over |30, and the blanks are bought by our Democratic officials at 10 cents a quire. At this rate Mr. Krebs’ bill should have been not e ver $50. He is the same man that is now yelling “extravagance” at the most economical administration ever kno wn in Pike county.

The benevolent institutions of the State, since passing under Democratic control, report an unexpended balance of over $50; 000. That is, of the money appropriated by the Legislature for their maintenance, these institutions haye saved the above amount to the taxpayers of the State. It wits to break the force of this exhibit that Jim Woodard, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Martindale, of the ludiauapo* lis Journal, Marshal Dudley aud others, concert ed the outrageous lies iu regard to the management ot the Insane Asylum, some specimens of which appeared In the Press a week or two ago. - . Ip our cotemporary is sure theie was a “meeting of the boys at the Press office last week,” and in not guessing, the editors must stand convicted of eavesdropping until they make known their source of information.—[Press. What a nilly charge! The ed itor of the Press knows that one of the editors of this paper passes his office every night going home. Seeing a number of the “boys” gathering iu there on the night alluded to, he inferred, as was most natural, that they were going to have one of their “little caucuses,” The affair was of no earthly importance to the Democrat, nor very likely to any one elge than the parties participating,and was referred to only in the spirit of banter. The “organ” says “the Commissioners themselves have never insisted upon the legality of the order. Indeed! Does tbo “organ” mean to leave the impression that the order was mere ly passed and placed on the recprds for buncombe, and that the Commissioners didu’t meau it, but were only fooling about the imaiter, and that the order was only intended as a trick to deceive the taxpayers,— [Press. Thigis mother instance of an inference wholly unwarranted by what the Democrat said. As it seems t hat our esteemed neighbor is either very dull of comprehension or else wilftilly unfair, to call it by no harsher name, we will inform him that if the order had been declared legal the Commissioners would have enforced it. Twenty cents would then have been “lawful rates” and the Democrat would have said all right, even if it did make rio money on the contract. It does not ask a cent above the legal rate, and unlike the Press in the days of “good stealin,” it asks no swag in the wciy of fat contracts for stationery.

It won Id be a source of great gratification to the Democrat it our esteemed neighbor would ceaBe misrepresenting our arguments s.nd quoting us ai saying exactly what we did uot say. It is extremely difficult to discuss public questions with a paper that is willing to mislead its readers by suppressing or distorting the facts. As a case in point we quote the following from his last issue: The Democrat last week: undertook to break the force of ou r expose of the fraud being practiced, on the taxpayers of the county by the “official orgi.n” and some of the officials, by calling attention to a grammatical error or two in the Press, and attempting to deceive the people by stating that the law quoted and referred l.o by the Press had been repealed. The law was not repealed. Now, our readers well know that not a word was said in the Democrat about grammar or any other irrelevant subject in discussing the Press’ article on the delinquent list. Nor did we state that the law q uoted by the Pross had beeu repealed. We claimed that that portion of the law relating to the cost of publishing the list was repealed, and that in perfectly true, an the Attorney General has long since decided. Do Ibe' honest with ycnr reader* if nothing else.

The Press speaks of the “modesty" of Marshal Dudley. Here is a specimen of Us modesty which, before rending the last Issue of the Press, we had regarded as a piece of unexampled cheekiness: “What is the politics of your district schoolmaster and road supervisor?”. ...“Uow many negroes have permanently located in your precinct ?”—[ Dudley’s Secret Circular to Postmasters. --- Have you ever stopped to consider the burdens in the shape of increased taxatiou the passage of either amendment No. 1 or No. 3. would impose 'upon the people people of the State? There would have to be appointed in each precinct a board of registration consisting of at least three members. These would have to serve at least ten days at wages certainly not less than a dollar a day. Thus at the minimum estimate the annual cost of registration in each precinct would be thirty dollars, and for the whole State, over $30,000, not taking account of incidental expenses and the cost of stationery which would probably swell the amount to $40,000. Do the people of Indiana desire to fix this extra burden forever upon themselves and their posterity ? If not, they should vote against the amendments. We protest against persons imposing upon the good nature of our esteemed contemporary by making such excessive draughts on his superior knowledge of persons and things. Almost every ether article in hiypa* per begins with “in response to numerous inquires we will state, etc.” Now that’s all wrong. You ought to know that he has not time to waste reading the immense number of letters of inquiry he must necessarily receive daily if he is not hoaxing bis readers in this matter of responding to “numerous inquiries.” Why, in his very first issue, before he had announced himself as editor yon crowded him nearly to death with “numerous inquiries” as to whether Heilman would be a candidate for Governor. You should be ashamed of yourselves for so “numerously” and persistently demanding his opinion ou the great questions of the day. He would, if let alone, very probably give in his own way his views on public matters, without having to make his columns monotonous by the constant repetition of tho phrase “in response to numerous inquiries,” etc. Of course, situated as he is, he feels a delicacy in protesting against the hardship thus imposed upou him, and tho Democrat, ever ready to lend a helping hand to any of the “boys” takes this occasion to enter protest in bis behalf. Later.—The "devil,” who sot the above article in type, has lost his place in the Democrat Office by suggesting the wicked thought that th« editor of the Press never received a single letter of inquiry, to say nothing of “numerous” ones.

Our moderately esteemed contemporary is still harping on the delinquent list and misrepresenting the facts with its usual emineut ability in that line of argument. In regard to the whole matter of public printing the Democrat has this frank statement to make: In the interest of economy and in the direct line of its principles as a Democratic newspaper) it labored hard and conscientiously to elect the Democratic ticket. That ticket was entirely successful, Consequently it expected to be favored with such printing as had to be done within the county. An economical Democratic Legislature fixed the rates for such printing as low as their sense of right and justic* would permit -While the Democrat asks for no fat jobs in the way of contracts for furnishing blanks, etc., it does expect the ordiuary public printing at the present low rates, to be given it in preference to the Press. We have shown, in another article, how the County Auditor and Commissioners could have contracted for books and stationery through the Democrat as it has been done in this county, and is now doing in many throughout the State, thus clearlug the way for the Democrat to make thousands of dollars, every cent of which would have been so much absolutely wasted so

jar m tao iupa} are concerned. We refer to this matter to show the economy practiced by our worthy county officials. When the question of printing the delinquent list came up last term the Democrat proposed to do the work at thq price prescribed by law, whether that be 20 cents or 35 cents. It had already received a letter from the Attorney General to the effect that the lawful price was 35 cents per description. Immediately upon the passage by the Commissioners of the order alluded to in our last issqe, the opinion of the Attorney General was sought as to its legality. His decision was that under the law it was the Auditor’s sole prerogative and duty to procure the printing of the list at a rate not exceeding 35 cents a descripiion. Although the puny organ on Eighth Street says the Attorney General is wrong, it is certain that his decision will stand unless reversed by a much higher authority than the egotistical Press. In concluding this controversy, the Democrat will again state that for such printing as may be given it, it expects to be paid at the present low rates prescribed by law. It asks no more; neither does it ask any swag in the way of special contracts for blanks, etc, as the Press need to do, hut on the contrary it honors the present officials for their determination lo get snch work at the lowest possible figures, even if they have to send out of the State to do it. Pity 'tie that the Press cannot show as dean a record duriug the time his party had control of the affairs of the county. The sounty would be thousands of dollars better off to-day were snch the case. 1

The Democrat believes the public business should be conducted so Abet officers would have nothing wha&ver to conceal from the people. Nothing should be done, tbe publication of which would cause embarrassment on tbe part of the officers or their party friends, We believe the Democratic administration of the affairs of Pike county has been such that there is nothing to conceal. At any rate we know of nothing that has been doue that we should hesitate to make public. This is saying a great deal in lavor of our county officials, but it is said justly. As the question of public printing seems to be the most misrepresented and least understood of any that arise in discussing county affairs, we wish here to call attention to certaiu facts not generally taken into consideration. It is well known that the law requires certain publications to be made through a newspaper published in the county and fixes the price to be paid for such printing. These fixed rates are sufficiently low, and have always been paid promptly. But as lies been remarked before, no favors have been shown by the Democratic officials to their county organ except by giving it the preference over the opposing organ, in the case of printing thathad to be doue inside the county. On tbe contrary they have exercised the most rigid economy. As is done in some counties now and as has been done in this, thousands of dollars worth of swag could have'been thrown to the Democrat if the officers had been disposed to go back on their promises to the people that they would economize the expenditures of the county. The various officers require annually many hundred dollars worth of blanks and blank books. By receiving bids from the leading blank book publishing companies, the cost of such necessaries is reduced, to a minimum. If they would, the commissioners could contract with the Democrat to furnish the blanks at five or six times their cost and none could say them nay. That used to bo done. At the June term, 1870, Record II. page 33—it appears that M. Krebs

was allowed over a dollar a quire for assessors blanks which now cost the county 10 cents a quire. He made at least 85 cents a quire and furnished 125 quires. Now as we have said before, our officers can adopt the same course if they choose to da so. In fact their opportunities tor wasting the county funds iu this way are almost unlimited and the fact that they do not, but on the contrary exercise the roost rigid economy in such matters, is one of the very best reasons Why the offices should continue to be filled by Democrats. Our esteemed cotemporary intimates that Republicans are arrangiqg to import negro voters into Pike county. What a foolish idea. To Bnii.jj imgiuea UBTe'irad -reep ttiw nntil the election would cost at least $150 a head, when with that sum £qst 150 Democrats could be bought to vote the Republican ticket on the day of election, and ihat would be enough to change the county.—[Press. We have never charged the Republicans with intending to brir.g negroes here and keep them at their own ex.pense. On the contrary, they will keep them here at the expense of the while laborers who will be thrown out of employment to give place to the ‘-imported patriots.” Reddick Harrell says he’ll “be dogoned” if lie gives boud and buys a safe iu order to act as treasurer of the Republican Central Committee. If ho cau’t keep the money iu a nail keg. as he always has done, he wou’t serve.—[Press. Better buy the safe, That “fund of $150 for buyiiq; up Democrats at a dollar a head” is too large to leave lying around loose in a nail keg.

Pause, Ponder and Peruse!! The invention of that Superior and Complete Sewing Machine (The Family Sewing Machine), marks one ol the most important eras in the history of machinery, and when we cousider its great usefulness and extremely low price ($25), it is very dificnlt to conceive ol auy invention for domestic use of more or even equal importance to families. It has great capacity for work; beautiful, smooth, and quiet movement, rapid execution, certainity and delightful easeot operation, that at once commands it above all others. The working parts are all steel, strong and durable, and will last a life time ;the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the stitch is the firmest of all the stitches made, neat and regular, and can be regulated in a moment to sew stitches from® an inch in length on coarse material down to the finest, so infinitesimal as to be hardely dUcernable with the naked eye, and with a rapidity rendering itimpossible to count them as fk$t as made; it has more attachments than any other, and it does to perfection all kindsbf heavy, coars, plain, fine, or fancy needlework with ease, and far less labor than required on other machines. It needs no commendation, the rapid sales, increasing demand, and voluntary encomiums from the presB, and the thousands of families who use them, amply, testify to their undoubted worth as a standard and reliable household necessity, extending Its popularity each day. Machines sent anywhere to be examined before any money is paid. Agents wanted bv the Company., Address them for information. Family Sewing Machine Co., 755 Broadway New York.
