The Democratic State Convention will bo held on Wednesday, June 2c>, nest Ye toiling taxpayers who fill the Roanty treasury, what do you think of $18 per day for the labor of experts. Ouxe is not a Confederate State, and yet la Ohio negroes are murdered and sold,to Medical Colleges—an autrccity thatyou don't bear of even in Mississippi. ^ r.Pns Republicans at Washington. "Who are engineering the Dudley boon, thiuk hie .candidacy will force •the Democracy to nominate Voorhees for Governor. Dudley lias consented to become the Republican candidate for Governor, and wiflee doubt be the nominee. Other gentlemen who were lotting in that direction may now Mkbwide. The slate is fixed. Assuming tliat the county has paid Mr. Richardson.$3,000 for two years • services aa treasurer, what manner of business is it to pay experts four or live thousand dollars to ascertain wliether or not he discharged his trust faithfully'. This couutrv levies about $800,000,000 a year of taxes by means of the tariff. Of tliis amount $2iX),000,OX) go into the treasury and $6<X).0i)0.0lX) represents subsidies to protected articles, Wouldn’t an even divide be fair? Would it be too much for the public to ask the monopolists to go halves? The shivering poor who are hnd- , died together in tenement houses, and pressed hard for a bare subsistence for themselves and little ones, must have an excellent opinion of Republican economy when two experts are paid $18 per day for the purpose of manufacturing Republican campaign thunder.

The Democratic members of Congress met on Wednesday of last week and appointed a Congressional campaign committee for service during ths campaign. The committee comsiets of one member from each State and Territory. The Indiana commi tteeman is Hon. S. M. Stocks Jager, of Harrison county. Chabuct Gwixn, of the Friend, says that a few dollars spent now in circulating Democratic newspapers will produce more good results than hundreds spent for whisky and cigars later in the campaign. And he hat spoakt the truth, therefore let every Democrat in Pike county subscribe for the Demockat, and alsofhavc it eent to a few Republican friends. Jobs C. 3»ew, the wealthy proprietor of the Indianapolis Journal, was sued .three times last week for falsely representing the value of bank atcck, sold by him to be worth a. premium of some fifty per cent, when in fact it was not worth over fifty cents on the dollar, and that he knew' its real condition when lie sold it. The damages claimed foot up nearly $500,000. _ Owe proposition the Democratic Congress proposes is to remove tine daily on sugar, and it is said this measure would cut down the rev-rape *50,000,000; and lessen the priee.of that article at least two cents a pound. Thiil would be a saving of $1 to each person la the United States, and to flit people of Petersburg, in tb« agSgate, 12.000 annually, and to tire lid*

Thr Republican campaign has been »«£ES§‘i out Their pronutuiU chiefs have set. the bait in motion. Like Kitlp;uriek’s fan ions telegiMph: “A bloody shirt and plenty of money and Indiana h safe.” The Sonth is to be attacked with more vigor than ever. This is the last expiring kick of the old semi corpse ere the dissolution cornea. The coroner’s ver<lici. will surely bo "Died of too much bloodletting.” i Eveut Pike county carpenter who buys an American saw pays a direct tax of forty per cent, for r,be same. This saw, if exported to Europe, could be sold for that much less to the European carpenter, as ninety per cent, of the duty on steel is remitted t^hen exported in a manufactured state. The Republican parly would continue this tax on carpenters solely for the benefit of saw manufacturers, as uot one cent gees into the vaults of the government. The Democratic party would reduce it. Choose ye, carpenters! and builders, between the t* o parties.

Ip Senator Logan really wants Congress ito pass a bill requiring that the Union veterans of the war shall be preferred in appointments to civil offices, Why did he so flagrantly viovoted to uargeantlate his principle when ho make a reconstructed rebel ut-arms, with a reputable anti capable Union veteran begging for the place? John Logan has great love for the Union soldiers, whenever that love does not interfere with Iris political machinations, but be doesn’t hesitate to join hands with an ex-confed-erate, when he sees a chance soual benefit in the alliance. of perThe meeting of the Count) Central Committee at this place, next, Wednesday, will be an important event. Every representative Democrat of the county should attend if possible. Wliat is needed, and, all that is needed, to insure success in the coming canvass beyond anything ever heretofore achieved by the Democracy cf Pike harmony and unity of is county action. Lot all past differences and personal enmities—if there are aiiy— be buried, and let the attention and the earnest waft ofevery Democratic voter be direcT against the cc mnion enemy and in the interest of t in cause of right and justice to ail as embodied in the principles and exempli tied in the practices of the Democratic party, the party of the people. Wit 1 an unbroken line we can meet the enemy with the fu ll assn ranee of a glorious and overwhelming success. 1 i mi i m All thc ltcpublican leaden tell us that “a national debt is a national blessing.” Admitting the statement for the sake of the argument, let us pursue the thought a little further. The idea that p national debt is a nu tional blessing carries with it and conveys the idea that a state debt is a state blessing, and that a county debt is a county blessing, and that a township or municipal debt is a township or municipal leasing, aud that an individual debt is an individual blessiug. Therefore, according to tins sublime and beautiful Republican.principle, this; idea that the scheming loaders of that party have been promulgating debror is for. twenty years, every abundantly blessed. But the people do not endorse my such fallacy. They have decreed that the public burdens must be reduced anti that the corrupt leaders who propose to perpetuate this ‘‘national blessing" for their own aggrandizement shall retire from the managemeu of national affairs. The Republican party must go. goThe Republican party will Elsewhere in this issue of the Democrat wifi be found a communication over the signature of‘Dawn,” advocating E. A. Ely, Esq., for Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Wc have known Sir. Ely for several years and can vouch for his professional merit and his moral worth as a man. He is firm and aggressive in every cause he espouses, and has tire courage to express his convictions regardless ofeoifsequenees. Ou.tht stump and with tire pen he has ably de feuded Democratic doctrines and has used every honorable eflbrt in tire partv’s behalf. The Democrat has no' means ot knowing whether Judge O. 51. Welborn will, or will neg, be a candidate for re-election. Personal!v and otherwise we have the kindliest feeling toward him and have always given him oureoi-dial support, and be lias enjoyed the position for twelve years. But when we have & home man who is in place, every way qualified for the the Democrat feels In dutv bound to support him.

If all the Wind men in the world should endeavor to convince Vou that the sun is not bright, or that the rainbow has no colons, you would s ill believe your own eves. You have seen them both; tiiey have not. If all the blind,partisan loaders of the dominant party shot Id endeavor to convince you that the administration’ is not corrupt as the spirit of darkness; that the sole aim of the party is not to maintain its hold on power by fostering monopoly, by sustaining a ruinous tariff that was originated as a war measure to meet an ent urgency that has long been safely passed, aud by gradually centralizing all power iu the federal government, you would uot believe them. 'You have lie evidences of your senses aud the teachings of au experience of twenty years of unrestrained control of government affaire by the Republican party to prove the falsity of their assertion. The people awake to si are true now thoroughly realization of the dangers thdt menace their iitarties and threaten tho perpetuity of our free institutions. They see tho meessity for a change and they h ive deimt the change shall be blican party must m party will go. ii

Do Vrk net'll a change? Oar nation*! governmen;, i« in tv in to* hands of uarti who on a hie corporations aJKl'ihonopoijes to rido roughshod over the right:- the people, of men whose flunkey bin and prodigality i* undermining free government ; of men who roll the people and go unpunished; of men who are rapidly and surely destroying public honor; of men who insolently resolve to hpld on to power and resist the right of the people to ehooec and inaugurate their rfclers; of men who aim to destroy every vestige of civil libertv by centralising all power in the federal government. The people are tired of this misrule and alarmed at the dangers that threaten our liberties. They know that a change is needed, and they have decreed that the change must and wiil be made. The course of the Republican party in regard to the “Woody shirt” is very much like that pursued by a number of Confederate surgeons in tbe late war. It was of little consequence wbat “Johnnie” was suffering from who answered to “sick ca l” the aa

failing and only prctcription given him was “turpentine and oil.” Turpentine and oil was given for burns, bruises and fevers; chills, wounds, smallpox and desertions were all treated with turpentine and -oil. It was the only stock and store of many rebel medical cabinets knd as it would never do to turn the iriendicaut away without “something.” turpentine and oil was given freely, j So it is with the radical press and party. All other supplies having run opt they hang on to the bloody shirt and sectional differences as the only j argument.left them. Wave the red rag and preach sectional hate first, last and all the time. Hurrah for the bloody garment and turpentine, the Southern shotgun and oil is the Republican shibboleth for 1884. ' It is thought that the Morrison tariff bill will be reported by the Ways and Means Committee not later than March 15, and tliat the discussion i i the House will last three months or more. It is probable that the discussion of this question will be very thorough and able, on both sides. There are great interests a: stake, and. contests are usually vigorous or bitter in proportion to the stakes. But we. believe that the tariff question will be mftre clearly presented to the people of this country than it! ever was before. The protectionists will appear struggling to maiutain the system of tribute which has taken many years to bring to its present.state of perfection and by which they confiscate every year hundreds jof millions of dollars of the product of the labor of other people. The tariff' reformers will be seen fig ting for the people’s rights without any direct interest in the tariff, except ;as consumers. They will be found insisting that all industries shall stand , on their own merits, that one class of people shall not be taxed in order to establish hot house industries aud jinsure them a certain profit, and that every man shall have the full benefit of his labor by being permitted to buy what he wants where he can get it cheapest. Such a controversy must result in much good. The spectacle of an army of monopolists arid their attorneys on one side lighting for personal advantage, and the disinterested representatives of the people on the other side contending for the common good of the masses of the people, ought to condemn the tariff in the minds of even those who know nothing of the merits of' the question. Therefore we look for great results from t he impending tariff debate. Organization.

“Time and tide, say s the ancient aphorism, “wait for no man,” nor does time and tide wait for any Set of men or any party. II men are wise, they will keep abreast of time, and take tide at the flood. The days arc hurrying by. A great political campaign is in the near future,. India na is a Democratic State. AH that is | wanted is that the party shall be perfectly organized, made solid, brought into line. It will ltoFcIo to overlook the supreme nesessity. Already the Republican party is at work ; quietly, steathily, lyiugh- at work. It is collecting money by methods known to the criminal—without regard for law or decency. It is assessing government employes. Its methods are unknown. Men are to be bribed to stuff ballot boxes and falsify election returns, as was done in 1S8J. according to the testimony of lion. W. P. Fishback. Voters are to be imported as was done by Dorses. 'According to the testimony of ».. P.| Conner, and when rascals are caught violating the election laws, they are to be aided in their escape by Republican “high oflicials.” If these Republican schemes and schemers are to be defeated it must be by Democratic; organization, an organization that begins on iied rock foundations; that begins in the precinct and ends with ‘.he State; what counts and classifies and brings order out of chaos. \ This done a Democratic victory ini Indiana is certain; if not done, doubt and uncertainly will prevail, and defeat may come. \V*e confess to profound solicitude. We deplore the po.-un bility of defeat as the result of indolence. lack of energy, wlmt of full appreciation of the situation. We have, faith in the wisdom of the representation of the Democratic parly in convention. They will give the party representative men fur candidates. ’ Cut this will not atone for apathy nor for postponement of the; work of organization. Ia-t it begin everywhere in earnest. It menus victory.—[Indiaimpolis Sentinel. When the Republican Congressional committees murder “to order” a negro in Mississippi o;r Virginia, to make party capital and win votes, it is a “Southern outrage,” and every radical organ with an administration collar is expected to whine and howl in unison. When an entire family of negroes is murdered in cold blood to furnish: subjects for the disseetjpg table—as was the ease at Cincinnati last week—it is only an incident of a “different civilization,” and these same administration organs are strangely and sadly silent.[—Seymour Democrat,

Republican promises. Keep it before the * people that the Republican party in this county, in order to catch votes, adopted the following as one of the planks ot their platform, and pledged themselves publicly and privately, to carry it out in good faith: “Resolved, That we believe the county printing, including the Sheriff's printing and the delinquent list, should he given to the paper printed in the county that will do the work for the least money, and we pledge ourselves that if successful we will give the county printing to the paper that will do it for the least money.” Notwithstanding this oledge they have persistently refused to receive bids for the county printing - have persistently refused to let the printing to the lowest bidder, and, although the Democrat has offered time and ’.'gain to ilo all the county printing for less, than oi>‘ half what is paid the Press, atitUitll oilers to do it lor less than one-half, yet the Republican officials go on paying the Press more than dou hie what the Democrat has offered and still otters to do the same work for. This is the way they keep their pledges to the people. They promise any and everything to catch votes and then squsinde the people’s money in violation of their promises. For Circuit Judge. Petersburg, Inch, March 1,18r-f Editor Democrat : We shall soon enter open another campaign, and before doing so, our standard bearers in county, circuit, district, state and nation should be selected with a view to their availability, fitness and the energy they will exercise in the advocacy and triumph of Democratic principles. Among the positions to be tilted, in which the Democracy of this county has a voice, is that of circuit judge for the lltli judicial circuit. Your correspondent is not informed whether die present incumbent of the office is seeking a re-nomination. We have a man in our midst who is in every way identified with the best interests of the party in this county and who is eminently well qualified to discharge in an acceptable manner every trust the position imposes. That man is Eugene A. Ely. There is not a fair minded Democrat in this ! county tut will accord to him the I reputation of being an excellent lawyer, a big hearted citizen and man whose moral character is above reproach, and who has worked, written and spoken effectively in the cause of Democracy. Your correspondent is satisfied that he voices the sentiment of a large majoritv of the Democrats in this comity when he names him as the man far that place. Dawn. The Indianapolis Weekly Sentinel. Col. John C. Shoemaker, Manager of th<' Indianapolis Sentinel, as this is a Presidential year, is very anxious to extend the circulation of his weekly, for its sound political principles as well as i?R general usefulness as a safe, judicious and highly ‘moral family paper. As it. gives a thorough and conche epitome of Indiana news, as well as a correct rejiort of the markets at important commercial centers, we hope our friends who desire a second naper will consider their duty to their State paper, and send for il at oner.

My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. 1 commenced the use of the Saksafaru.la in April last, and have used It regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and 1 feel perfectly well in every respect—being now able to do a good day's work, although TS years of age.
