V The Democrats, and all other voters of Pike county who are willing to unite with them, and who are in favor Of a tariff (or revenue only, and op- ' posed to the further rale of the Republican party, are requested to meet in Mass Convention, in the town of Winslow, on WEDNESDAY, August 9,1882, At 10 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for State Senator, Auditor, Clerk, Sheriff, Treasurer, Surveyor, Coroner and three Commissioners, to be voted for at the November election, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the convention.

There will be a Mass, Convention on THURSDAY, August 17,1882, Of all who are willing to unite on the following propositions: That the two ruling parties have outlived their usefulness and that the interest of the people demand the upbuilding of a party pledged to destroy sectional strife; to pay promptly the public debt; to reduce taxes and expenditures ; to establish the unlimited coinage of gold and silver; to substitute Government legal tender paper for bank issneb; to overthrow corruption at the polls and in representative bodies; to secure a-free ballot and a fair count; to control by law and bring into subjection to the interest of the people all corporations and monopolies which hare corrupted the public service, and by combination and extortion have established absolute dominion over money, over transportation, over invention, and oyer land and<4abo»f4i^liiMij|lmit-'alA qaestfons of a change oHthe organic law to a direct vote of the people. W. E. Chappel, Chairman. Thos. CL. Dillon, Secretary,.. . — i * ——— There may be better men in this county than some who are now holding office, but they don't belong to the Republican party. The Republican Congressional Con: vention, of this district, will be held at Evansville, August 31st. It promises to be a tame affair. ' The Democratic party of Pike county hangs its banners upon the outer walls, and bids defiance to all the efforts of the opposition. This issue of the Democrat will naturally commend Itself to every intelligent reader, on account of its more than ordinary literary excellence. Next week’s Democrat will contain the full proceedings of .the Democratic Mass Convention, which will be held at Winslow, on next Wednesday.

Wb go to press too early to give the result of the Democratio State Convention, which met at Indianapolie on Wednesday, bnt we are sure they did their work well. Next Wednesday, the Democratic hosts of Pike county, will meet in Mass Convention, at Winslow, and proceed to make a ticket npon whose face victory iralready written. Ocn Greenback friends, profiting by oar remarks of last w«&k, have called a mass convention of their adherents, to meet on the 17th of August to nominate a county ticket. It is well. ^ ^ ^ If the Republicans of this county care for nothing but the amount of the indebtedness, we will try and accommodate them before the campaign ends with an itemized statement. If you don’t see what you want, sail for it. We hope to be able to convince our res ders, when again we address them, that the platform of principles promulgated by the Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis, on Wednesday, is bfg enough and broad enough for all, who love liberty and freedom, to stand upon. The editor of the Demogbat takes a pride in making each issue of his paper essentially and entirelv^4is own, both in the thought and treatment of the subjects discussed on the editorial page. If it is creditablo, then is he satisfied ; if it Is not, then will he strive to do better. ! In ihe economy of nature, there exists an element which is ever wasting and perishing by virtue of Immutable and unchangable laws. So in the political world. Parties perish and die and are swept from sight by the waste of their vital principles. This is now the sad condition of the Republican party. It no longer has any principles beyond the spoils, and its end is at band,

5-rrr-1—-.. ■■■ j -- •The Congressional race in (his district, on the Democratic side, is grow* ifig interesting, and no man can safely predict what tho outcome will be. We are certain of one thing, however, it will be Kleiner, Hatfield, Shanklh, Menztes or Falter, qp dark hffnse will win the prize. . --— « »«» » * — The Democratic party is a party of to-day and the future. Time, that great righter of all wrongs, in bring* ing us each year nearer the goal of our hopes, and uo one who reads the signs of the times aright can longer doubt that 1864 -will find ns at last in possession of the heritage our fathers relinquished a quarter of a ceutury ago. To the consummation of this, let every follower of Jefferson dedicate his best efforts, aud the end will be full recompense. . •. It is a waste of time to disejiss questions which can have no bearing upon the future management of county affairs, in the ensuing campaign. We shall, therefore, only mention those things which are pertinent to the honr, and oiir present condition in our‘ treatment of local questions. To fight the war over again, or to lament that Republicans have control of governmental affairs, shall be no part of our task in the work of the campaigu now almost upon ns.

The present management of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway deserves the hearty support of the public, as no road in the country offers its local patrons, generaly, better facilities and more comfortable accommodations. There is no manager who watches the local interests 6f his road more closely than does Mr. W. W. Peabody. Under his wise supervision and direction the road is fast assuming its proper position in the great railway system of the - country. A spirit of harmony has been established between tbo employes and officers, which Is much different from what it was a few years ago. All these things are good evidence that the road is being managed judiciously, and in the interest of the proprietors of the property. We abe upon tho threshold of a great local contest for the control of the offices of this county, and the leaders and their followers, on both sides, are now engaged in strengthening their positions so as to be ready for the shock of battle, when U conies in the mellow September days. That the struggle will be hot and spirited, no one who knows the temper ef the two great opposing parties, can well; deny; that giant blows will be struck and takeu, all will readily adrnft, end that the victory, when it conges, at? it surely will to the Democratic party, will be fairly earned, is admitted of all men. But, if anyonedays the f altering unction to his soul that misrtpresentation, vilification and abuse will be the weapons o( warfare pf the Democratic party, he will be sadly disappointed. We have everything to, gain and nothing to lose by being absolutely just, fair and generous, and Ihis we shonjd be, though, the starry Heavens fall. If the opposite side want to pursue eneb a course they-are at perfect liberty to do so, We will not or cannot be provoked into such a policy.

To the busy worker,ou the editorial page of a newspaper there often comes a time, when, weary with the eternal turmoil; the ceaseless struggle for renofmiti the vexations incident to the hour, and the unappreciative tendency of the times, he feels like laying aside the tired pen; of stilling forever the monotonous click of the type and of resting with Nepantha the worn and tired brain. But he remembers, and i thero is a joy in the memory, that h*e. is not writing altogether for the present; the future is storing away his words and long after he goes to his quiet sleep under the daisies, some offspring of his brain may flash along the lines of new generations of men and cheer them like a bugle-call to deeds of Spring and renown. Some word of his may lie hidden for yqRra in the womb of time, only at last to-L brought forth to be the battle-cry Of a new crusade,more illustrious than that of Philip, the Hermit, This is what sustains and cheers the conscientious editorial worker in every field now cultivated by his energy and genius. It is not enough for him to know that he pleases and instructs the maddening, babbling orowd of to-day; it is the consciousness that he Is laboring for eternity that prompts him to write words which touch with a lurid splendor the pages of the paper t£ whom his life’s best energies are dedicated. It is the feeling that he is huildibg, upon the watch-towers of the toniur* iee, beacon-lights that will gu&hmd steer into safe harbors many m&ferless crafts upon life’s wild te$di|gous sea, which stimulates him toorfw from the treasure-house of his ^jnd the rarest and choicest gems garnered there, and scatter them with g. lavish hand among the thousands who daily and weekly grow stronger nnder the inspiration of his teachings. It is this, and countless other sources of encouragement, that prompt writers upon the contemporaneous press to dedicate their lives, their talents, and their all npon the altar erected in the* dusky den, where lies hidden the printing press. If an editor is actuated by any other feeling than this, he is but a sonry figure among the giants who are making the press grander, mightier and better than aU^else on earth besides ; he is a dwarf and a pigmy, whose place is among the curiosi ty shops of the past; he belongs to a race' now, happily, almost extinct. The newspaper man of to day, with the light of tge morning on his face, is climbing^the higher heights, and soon upon his victorious brow will the sunlight fall; he is animated by the noblest instincts, to write upon the temple of fame, high np above another achievements, the triumphs of the never-dying mind, and it will be written there, not only by ns, but by those who come after us; and, surrounded by a lurid halo of glory, it w ill Btand forevermore. i

- „ ■- Mb. Secretary Foloer is b&ving plates prepared for the new 3 per cent hoods, as. also for new five-dollar National Bank notes. It is to be hoped these new plates will not be traded off to counterfeiters by Republican officials. The country has had enough of that sort of Republicanism. Which the history of the coming campaign takes its place among the records ot the past, we want it to show that the Democrat, while doing its whole duty for the party it represents, did nothiug but what it had reason to feel proud of doing. We want the historian of this year, and this contest, to feci justified in saying that, when we handed back to the party, the flag we carried in the front of that battle no- star was dimmed, or stripe disfigured by any act of ours and that, where the struggle was fiercest, and hottest, the banner of the party, in the Democrat’s hand, like the white plnme of Navare, was always where danger stood with uplifted Bword throating the brave and daring. We are not fearful but what this will be done, because, however much we may he .tempted to stop to the ordiuary vileness of political warfare, we shall not be detered from keeping onr eye, like the eagle’s npon the snn, and soar ever towards the mountains of fairtless and generosity. Lot others pursue whatever course they may, as for ns, find onr paper, We shall keep straight on in the path we have laid ciut to follow, until with November wometh the victory. Not many' moons will wax and 'vane, until we will be in the midst of -the heat and strife of the local campaign. Party lines will be closely drawn, neighbor will be arrayed i gainst neighbor, and the hand of the brothereball be red frith the blood of his kindred. And why ? simply be ■cause a few paltry offices are to bo titled by representatives of the politi cal forties, predominating in this county; In no country uuder tfie ,f undoes politics enter so largely into .the every day life of the people as in this, and no where else does passion and perjudico so largely control tbe masses. While every man is not a

sovereign, only in a limited sense, all < re politicians, and none so unambiious as not to have aspirations for office. Out of this state of feeling, among ‘ he people, grows the bitterness and intensity of political campaigns, and 10 Jt will continue, so long as the vote >£ p freeman equals in importance 'ihit of a King. America will ever be s* land of politics and politicians. Our people are educated to it, and like it, and brave, chivalrous and generous, as they all are, “when the hurly-bur-ley’s done, and the battle’s lost and won’’ around the tribunal, to which they have submitted their cause they forgive and forget the bitte-iness and strife of the campaign just over, and get ready for the next one. Great is America, and great is the United States. Ur the time the Democrat reaches ItsInauy readers, one week from this time, the county nominating con ven tion will have accomplished its work, and placed its ticket in the field. But on| week more is left for candidates to labor in the direction of success, and the probabilities are that the time will be well employed. This is the last opportunity, prior to the conven* Urn, that the Democrat will have to say a few words to candidates, and in embracing this last chance to. address our fellow-citizens, we want to impress upon all those, whose aspirations lie in the direction of office, that what we are about to say is prompted by a desire to secure for the great De qocratic party those Conditions of sutcesswhicb are certain to lead it on to 1))6 coveted victory, in November. First and foremost, we waut every candidate to feel that while success is possible, defeat is certain, and that political conventions are the most treacherous of all bodies, and are quite as lik.ely to nominate the man who, at present, shows the least strength as the one who may now seem invincible. This tieing true, every candidate should reconcile his mind to the inevitable, so that when the result is announced he can take up his cross without a murmer, and with full resignation follow the successful leader. Let no defeated candidate allow himself to think for a moment that 'the nomination of any mau was brought about by anything but fairness. The people, the great sovereigns, decide these things as they in their wisdom see lit, and it is the duty of every candidate to cheerfully and readily acquiesce in the decisions of the convention

oetore which no submits hie claims. The party is always suprior to the individual, and no man has a right to appeal from the judgement of that tribunal. Hence, we assume that no man who loves his party and desires itii success, will express one syllable of dissatisfaction with its action, however much it may blast his hopes and aspirations. Disappointment is the common lot of all, and he is wisest and bravest who accepts whatever may come to him as a part of his heritage. That every candidate whose name will be presented to the coming convention will do this, we have no doubt; bnt, if in the bitterness of defeat anyone should feel that he has not been rightly treated, and threatens tew lead a revolt we have this to say to him; that the Democratic party will continue to do business at the old stand long after “the individual with* ere, and the woirld is more and more,’’ 4>ud that while men die, principles never do; It were better that a thousand good men be defeated for office than that the party suffer one disaster. We have heretofore remarked that there would be no sympathy for "kickers” this year in the-Democratic party of Pike county. We are going to nominate a winning ticket, and we shall expect every defeated candidate, and his friends, to join us iu aecuring its triumphant election. With this feeling animating the hearts of all we can go into the convention next Wednesday, and accomplish the grandest triumph for the party that ever blessed its reign in this bailiwick.

The Arrears of Pension Aot. Hinrtviu,!, IMMAXA, July is,1882 Editor Democrat: 1 write this communication in be half of 53,719 unvalid union soldiers, who failed to file their claims for pensions prior to July 1st 1880, as provided lor, by the “arrears of pension law” passed by the 46th, Congress. Of these 53,719 claim*, about 17)£ per cent of them are likely to be rejected, leaving about 44,329 who will receive ponsious from the date of their applications, and no arrearages. The average amount that those pensioners will receive, will be about 86. per month which, if arrearges were paid Would amouut to about $1,400 to each claimaut. Now the action of the 46tb, Congress, swindles, cheats, defrauds and steals (these terms all mean about the same thing iu ’Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and it is only a matter of choice which one shall be used iu describing this act of that Congress) all the arrearages or backpay which justly belougs to these 44, 319 claimants, who were not so fortunate as to have filed their claims prior to July 1,18S0. If arrearages were -paid these men, they would receive .$63,819,360, but under the “arreage ol pension” bet passed by the 46th, Con gross, they will receive but $6,481,936, thus cheating these poor invalid ExUnion soldiers out of $57§$1,424 which is theirs by every right ot justice and equal rights with their fellow comrades who were lucky enough to file their claims prior to July 1st, 1880, This is one of the rankest pieces of injustice any Congress ever perpett-ated upon a free people. The majority ol those who voluntered and went into the Union army did so from patriotic principles, and not from mercenary motives, for, at the begiuing of the war, the wages of the private soldier were only twelve or thirtceu dollars per month and this was paid in depreciated currency, which was worth only about their seven and a half cents bn the dollar, according to the gold-standard which made tile soldiers pay ouly about $4)£ or $5 per month: The government, towards the close of the war, began to see that she was not paying bor defenders enough, and be

gun pensioning lier invalid soldiers according to their injuries which were received in the Hue of duty, paying them from date of their application. Now, if one invalid soldier had a right to file his claim for pension whenever he saw fit and proper, we mainfain that all had the same right. The 46th, Congress pretended to be very patri otic and wonderfully solicitious of the rights of invalid Ex Union soldiers and passed the bill, of which wc are complaining, entitled the “arreage of pension” act, which among its pro visions compelled all applicants to file their claims on or before July 1.1880,. or else .forfeit their right to pension frOm date of disability or dischargo. All applications for pension filed since July 1, 1880 only receive pay JVo.ro date of application, although "they served the government just as long and hard as thoir more favored corn* rades. They fought just as bard, endured the toils and hardships of camplitarwere iu just as many battles,Were just as severely wouuded and possibly as badly injured, but, because they failed' to file their claims prior to that particular date they are left without the benefits which their more lucky comrades enjoy. This arrearage pension law was passed ou the 25th, of January 1319, and it was (fitter a fight and just measure, or it' was wrong and a piece of great injustice . IF it was wrong, the Cougresa which* passed the measure was guilty of grand larceny iu swindling the government out of hundreds of millions of dollars, aud in giving it to ExUnion soldiers to whom it did not owe a farthing beyond what they were receiving under the old pension laws which were not limited. It it were a just and righteous law why limit it? Why limit justice? ^Vhy limit right? It was done by 9sign for the express purpose of.cutting out these 53,719 claimants who filed their applications since July 1 1880, ovwbo may hereafter apply, thus swiijdRng them out of their just dues. PWve written to several of our Represehta tires in Congress (this season) and > hey all admit the injustice of the limit in the law, but have thus far failed to move its repeal. As friends of the Ex Union soldier, especially of the invalid soldier, let us urge this matter before Congress so that this unjust limit to 'the pension law, may be re moved, Then all the soldiers, even as they shared the toils and perils of the war alike, may also share the bounty of the government alike,.for every one must seethe injustice which is being done to the invalid soldier whq filed his claim prior to July 1st, 1880,1 am an ex Union soldier, and a friend to them all, and I waut equal and exact justice to all.
