THE DEMOCRAT — -::t -14— . ■" ' :- OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. Editor and Proprietor. [Entered at the Poe tortile at Petersburg, Indiana, for transmission through the mails as second-el ass matter.] THURSDAY, June 5,1884. ' FIRST DISTRICT. Meeting of the Democratic Congressional Committee. Tho members of the Democratic Congressional Committee of the First District of Indiana are respectfully requested to meet in Evansville on Tuesday, June 10,1884, at the law office of Richardson & "Walker, for the purpose of fixing a time and place for holding the Congressional Convention, and the selection of a Chairman to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of M. W. Pearsc, Esq., the member from Posey. A full representation of the District is urged either in person or by by proxy, " Wm. Swint. Rpcrotn rv Boonville, Iud., May 20, 1884. Nebraska Democrats demand the Did Tickei, and reform. The Democracy of Pike county is getting into splendid shape for the coming campaign. ——- Mi:. Jay Gould has declared hintself opposed to the “old ticket.” We doubt if any Democratic would please that patent rat-trap millionaire., -— « -«-—»-«•-:- .The Democratic National Convention will be composed of 802 delegates. Under the two-thirds rule it will require 535 to make the nomination. -—»:*«.-»«»- It is said that Dorsey, of doubtful reputation for honesty, is at Chicago, with $100,(XX) to contribute out of his own pocket to defeat Arthur’s nomination.

It is a very mean and foolish thing t > proclaim that the lusiness pi o ferity of the United States depends upon keeping one man in offiee, or even one party in office. A terrible apprehension has crept over the Republican mind that the balance of power in the Chicago convention w ill be held by the colored delegates, and, that they will be in the market. It is a dreadful end for the g. o. p. -- -•» « — ■■- The Republican National Convention, now in session at Chicago, should try to nominate a candidate who will satisfy all the office-seekers in their party and thus make lihnself solid against “bull dog revolvers” in the hands of clisapiiointed party workers. Hew to the line! Down with the policy that piles up a hundred and fifty millions of dollars of idle money in the treasury that should be allowed to remain in the pockets of the people, and down with the party that originated and maintains that policy. The war tariff which takes over $100,000,001) useless taxes from the American people is going to be cut down. All .political parties may as well comprehend this first as last. The cut will come, and will slice parties in two if necessary.—[Indianapolis News (Kep.) The semi-annual meeting of the State Democratic Editorial Association will be held in Indianapolis June 24th, and it is proposed to have a ratification or jolifieation session' in the evening, with speeches by Senator Voorhees, Congressman Holman and others. The National convention of the National Greenback party wpas held at Indianopolii last Wednesday and Thursday and resulted in the nomination of Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, for President, and A. M. West, of Mississippi, for VicePresident. Blaine is not as sanguine as he was, Arthur is not as sanguine as he W'as, Sherman is not as sanguine as he was, Edmunds is not as sanguine as he was. In fact, not one of the old timers feels sanguine of anything but his ability to prevent the nomination of the other fellow.

W okkingmen are fast learning that protection, so called, is a delusion and a snare, larifi reduction would widen our markets, create a foreign demand for our goods and make employment much more steady and constant than , it is now. It would reduce the cost of living and so greatly increase the purchasing power of wages. It has teen said that there is no difference ho tween the Republican and Democrat ic parties. It might as well he said that there is no difference between libe rty and despotism, between tyranny and freedom, between a government of aristocracy and centralisation and a government conducted by the voice of the people—according to pure. Democratic principles. ..•**-<»»■««> Ir the tariff issues splits the Democratic party it .will just as certainly split the Republican party as well, and a new organization will be the result, which will absorb the larger part of the intellect, the culture and the conscience of the country, and whieh, with the energy of youth and the inspiration of noble purpose, Will accomplish its mission of freeing the American people from its second slavery.—[Kansas City Star,

The first gun fired in the Presidential canvass was touched off at Tammany Hall Friday night, and judging by the reverberation and the immense asscmblegc reported in the Old Wigwam it proved itself a grand success —for a starter. The resolutions adopted declared first, the opposition of the Democracy to monopoly, centralization and governmental injustice. They protested against the Republican tariff system, unjust shippinglaws and monopoly discrimination. They very emphatically denounced the theft of the Presidency by the Republican party in 1876, aud declared that the fraud will forever, be a stain upon the history of our country. From the fact that great stress is laid upon the fraud of 1876, and also the Tilden tendency of the speeches, it may 1x3 inferred that although without a nominee the sense of the meeting was for Samuel J. Tilden for President. Coming, as this does, from Old Tammany, the name of Tilden will be voiced throughout the land with more emphasis than ever, aud the Sage of Gramercy Park may well feel flattered at the eulogy pronounced upon him. The Democrat has been, aud is yet, the ardent friend of Mr. McDonald, but it recognizes the general uprising all over the coufitrv for the old ticket. Last Tuesday the Great North American Side Show threw its doors wide open at Chicago, which was announced by the man at the door in the following language: “Walk in, white gentlemen, and take a look at the g-r-c-a-t-c-s-t living curiosity of the age—The tattooed man from the wild jungles of Maine;—the rearing Ethiopian giasticutus from Egypt—in Illinois;—the towering Ohio Iceberg; the world renowned son-of-his-father —a-n-d the pride of the Hoosiers, tlie-g—'v-a-n-d-son-of-liis- grand- father. Walk in while the machine ‘band begins to. play!’ More than a month yet before the big show opens; plenty of time 1 And don't forget to take a close look at the presidential dude—the only living specimen now extant, kicked out, of the New York custom house by John Sherman and fired into the white house by the bullet of a Republican maniac! All for one price of admission. Walk ia white gentlemen; Walk in! This way; and show your tickets. Don’t make a mistake in the jocation—alternate seats— at the rear—reservered for ‘colored men and brethern,’ walk in!”

The Philadelphia Record rises to remark that, “All of-the nine Democratic members of congress from Indiana, including Holman, voted for the Morrison tariff bill. Yet it is repeatedly asserted that Indiana is one of the Democratic states that can not be carried for revenue reform. If this be so, these Democratic members 'from Indiana sadly misrepresent the will of their constituents.” But they did not misrepresent the will of their constituents, and Indiana can and will be carried for revenue reform. Each member represented the sentiments of his constituents in casting that vote, and the Democracy of Indiana is proud of and fully sustains the actions of her congressional delegation. When counting the chances .for tariff reform, Mr, Record, cast your horoscope without an “if’ when you cast your longing eyes toward the Hoosier State. -1—« -- The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette tells of a temperance bill which has been prepared at ’Washington which certainly presents a novel idea though it may have no practical value. It .proposes to abolish all tax on liquors and permit them to be sold without license. This much of the bill would probably meet with the approval of no small number of citizens, but it further provides that each drinker shall take out license and be Unii pelled to wear a badge showing that he is a licensed man; and that it shall be a penitentiary offense to sell a drink to a man who does not wear such a badge in full sight. This it is which renders the bill unpopular. Not even a congressman cares for such publicity and as yet no member has been found who will introduce this bill.

The New York Herald, commenting upon the peculiar kind of cargo the Republican tug is carrying, remarks that “truth is the party has already as much of a load as it can carry. It is carrying Keifer and Kellogg Robeson and Brady, Dorsey and Belknap. It is not going to add the burden of Mr. Blaine to this.” We guess not—though in some quarters the idea prevails that Blariue, the tattooed man, is just the fellow to secure a Republican victory, and it must he confessed that he compares favorably in the general run of Republican aspirants for White House honors. It is really amusing to hear the Re publicans squeal about the unseating of P’eelle, especially as the whole country knows that Peelle voted to unseat half a dozen Democrats in the last Congress, and these same Republicans approved it. They ought not to make so much fuss about taking a little of their own medicine, and the general judgement is' that they deserve no sympathy. Help for the Cripples.

(( -:THE BUCKEYE:f\ f Iff 1111 i -:o:.A. HARVEST ZR/ZETITIMIIE]. When harvest days were drawing nigh And “Binder Fever” was running high, £gch “Jumbo” agent hard did try To sell his Old Style Binder. But farmers saw another sight, Which gave them most profound delight, And filled the Jumbo men with spite— ’Twas the Buckeye Low-Down Binder. With facts and figures fast arrayed, Each agent desperate efforts made To put the “Low-Down” in the shade Aud show his Jumbo Binder. Say what they might, it was “no go,” The farmers simply say no, no! We’ll have the best or none, you know, And that’s the Buckeye Binder. The combat deepens. Far and high, “Down with the Buckeye” is the cry, But farmers wave their orders high For the little Low-Down Biuder. And now alas! poor “Jumbo’s” beat, He makes a sad and slow retreat, While we receive the greenbacks sweet, For the little Buckeye Binder. FOR SALE by JO PATTERSON.

How Watch This process of manufacture wasj* by James Boss, who started in businesF^ 1854, and the methods and tools used in making these watch cases are covered by patents* This is the only scotch ease made under this process. For many years the introduction of these goods was slow, owing to popular prejudice against “plated” goods, but gradually the public learned that the James Hois’ Gold Watch Case was not a cheap gold-washed or electro-plated article, but was made of genuine gold plates of standard quality and thickness. Conscientious adherence to the determination to make the best watch case ever put on the market, and the adoption of* every improvement suggested, has made the James Bosd Qold Watch Case the standard. >nr In this watch case the parts most subject to wear—the bow, crown, hinges, thumh-catdies, etc., are made of SOLID GOLD.
