IIkndbicks is right The great question of the hour is, “SliaU the publie books be overhauled ?” Blaine’s political education began iii a Know-Nothing lodge, and yet it is claimed that the Irish are all for him.

■The Democratic ticket was made without the aid of a bar']. Both Cleveland and Hendricks arc poor men. Some of the Biaitte Republicans are chuckling because Gov. Cleveland is ■a poor man. Money cannot buy char* .^etcr. ' Thf. only fair mile in taxation is to relieve workingmen of all exactions levied for the benefit of .the special classes. 4 y.-1.-The thirty-eight States of the Union contain 2,209 counties. Texas v leads of with island Georgia follows with 137. Fkom the top of the Ridge one can look down on the West. And so it will be. in November. The Ridge will still be higher than the West. The question of this canvass is not fifte protection of American industry, bat the protection of American honor by electing, an liouest man president. Hon. Wii4.iam Dcnphy, who was delegate at large from California, wants to bet $10,000 that Cleveland and Hendricks will carry that State. Evert true Democrat will lay his prejudice, his ambition, his individuality and his factionston the party altar as a voluntary sacrifice to the party good. a Gen. Grant says: “In the selection of Mr. Cleveland as their leader the Democrats have, in my belief, selected one of their cleanest and strongest men. Ho has made an excellent Governor.” Democrats propose to increase labor's share in tire profits of the Joint effort of capital and labor, by cheapthe process of production, commercial restrictions { up .the markets of the enterprise. people propose to ht in the campaign, tly disgusted at the course managers in trying of whisky upon one of water on the nest temperance American

its of Governor Oo¥( time for the ihtle org office to call Grant a ;w«mp. Winns looking into Cleyri.a xn’s life and habits, would ii not be well for the Republican organa to send somebody into Kentucky to look up certain traditions about Blaise ?. Tariff is taxation, :uuj the taxation that draws one hundred millions of moucy from the revenues of commerce, over and above what is necessary for public purposes, is a cruel wrong to the people. It is surmised that Steve Klkius will come to Indiana and superintend the stuffing of the ballot boxes in the interest of Blaine, Mr. Elkins, it-is thought, will display quite as much talent in that line as Mr. Dorsey. The word “reform” not only does not appear in HuAiNVlottcr of acceptance hut nothing indicating that, in his opinion, there is any necessity for reform. On the contrary he praises our civil service in the highest terms. •reason why war taxes should continue in theso piping times of peace ? There is no reason exeept that a few men want to be protected in the enjoyment of forced and unnatural proiits. By the grace of God and the votes of American freeman the Democratic party will be restored to power in the federal government in this year of grand accomplishments, eighteen hundred and eighty-four. This is uot a mere prediction, but it is an established assurance that awakes an answering echo in the hearts of all our people._

Republican declarations iu regard to the preservation of Wire public lands for individual setUcTmcnir amount to nothing iu the face of the record of the party on that question. During the recent session ol Congress, the Democratic house passed many bills to carry out these declarations, bnt the Republican senate pigeon-holed every one of them. The Greenback State Central Committee have endorsed Gen. Butler’s course at Chicago, and have invited him to canvass Indiana. Electors and members of the State Central Committee have been appointed, amongst whom arc John G. Nisbct, of Vauderburg, as elector for the First District, and Moses Smith, of Vanderburg, u» State Central committeeman. The Independent Republicans met in convention on Tuesday of last week in New York and unanimously endorsed Cleveland Hendricks and Reform. It seems that the great ministers, college presidents and professors of whom the g. o. p. have felt so proud, have left them in disgust; and joined with the Democrats to secure an honest administration. This brings New Hampshire, Mass., and Conn., iu the -Democratio line with New York and New Jersey . Let the good work go on. An administration under Blaine would not give promise of honesty. In lii s letter of acceptance he boasts of the “efficiency and honesty of the present civil service," and vet there lms not been a single month this year in which some huge Baud or theft in some of the Departments has siot been brought to light—and not a single rogue ha3 been punished! Even Kellogg was allowed to go scot free on a mere technicality, and it is estimated by a U. S. Senator that as much has been stolen as has been devoted to public uses!

In speaking of the Republican candidate for Surveyor, the editor of the Press, in his last issue says: “He was once kicked out of the Clerk’s office as deputy because he would not yield to Democratic influences.” Thisstatcmen t was made before by the Press and was proven to be a lie. Mr. Keith himself says that the Democrats have been his best friends ever since he has resided in Petersburg. Will the Press please tell its rea lers why the ex-Natioual and present Republican Auditor of this county kicked Mr. Keith out of the Auditor’s office as deputv Auditor? . ' Two or three months ago, the Petersburg Press argued as if Gen. Sherman was the greatest man in the United States. Now, how things are changed, Blaine is. nominated for President. Gen. Sherman refuses to support him. yet if the readers of the Press know it they did iiot get the information from its columns. This Amc paper rushes to the front with a sneer at Gov. Cleveland's “war record,” but maintains a masterly s'ilencc in regard to the draft which gobbled ftp Blaine and made him hire a substitute rather than risk himself a t the front One feature of the Republican national platform can not have escaped the most casual reader, and^that is that the entire document is a condemnation of tho Republican National policy. Nearly every new and positive avowal in it exhausts itself upon some pernicious habit Which the party has persisteutly followed ever since it came into power. 1. It condemns the inequalities 6f a tariff devised and perpetuated by the party. 2. It admits the burden of unnecessary taxation!—a burden imposed by the party. 3. It admits -that excess!vo taxation— for which the party alone is response ble—yields a useless surplus of which the people ought to be relieved. 4. It denounces the importation of con-trat-t labor—a practice that originated nnder and has been encouraged by Rcptiblican rule. 5. It condemns the acquisition of large tracts of public, lauds by corporations, eto^—another^ evil of Republican origin. And so on throughout the list. Ily its own tlcclarauou the “grand old party” is a self condemned party, and the people w ill (dace their seal on that condemnation at the polls, next November.

Blaine and Logan, the republican |nominees,” iu order, uo doubt, that the faithful raav not be mistaken whew j subscribing for a strictly reliable “orTne Democrats were so hard pressed in tide eonnty for a man who was willing to be sacrificed for Sheriff that they had to take two candidates from the same township for the two principal offices.—[Frees. If that is a sign of pressure then the Republicans were two times hairier pressed for they took two candidates from each of two different townships. Albert II. Johnson their candidate for commissioner, and Henry Shafer their i candidate for coroner, both live in Logan township. Joel L. Evans ther other candidate for commissioner, and George "West their candidate for recorder both claim Marion township as their residence. Evans does live in Marion bnt we are inclined to think that West livesin Warrick county. He owns property there, and resided there until Doe Bethel! begun his race for auditor. Then West came here and taught one or two terms of school, worked hard for the election of Bcthell for which he was made deputy auditor, and before he has had time to feel at home in the county, Bethell has him nominated for a good office over three of our old citizens; the three then that were sacrificed in convention for him were not only old and worthy citizens but they were goed, faithful soldiers who had imperiled their lives at their country’s call, yet they were kicked aside to make room for West the feather bed soldier and gentleman from Warrick. This demonstrates how much love the Republicans have for soldiers. Voters think of this when you hear some of their feather-bed-soldier-orators on the stump during the campaign slopping over with love for the soldier. ■

THU TREASURY ROOKS, The Advice of Hon. Thomas A. lien* <1 ricks Sound and Timely. The (iorcrumect Accounts Huliilatcil, Knitted, Altered sud Falsified—Tfc* Sued of Ins[»ection After Toarv ofl'omigit Itepnblicaa AdMinistnejuu. [Washington Letter to New York SnnJ When Mr. Hendricks told the Democrats of Indianapolis, on his return from the Chicago Convention, in referring to the recently discovered frauds and stealings at" Washington, “We need to have the books of the Government offices opened for examination,” he gave utterance to one of the most urgent demands of the times. For more than twenty three years these books have been exclusively In the hands of Republican partisans, who have manipulated them to conceal the corruption, the robberies and rascalities of their employers. Every attempt to explore the records thoroughly, and to bring out into the sunlight the hidden proofs of guilt, has failed from the opposition, the collusion or the management of Republicans in Congress and in official life. Investigations have gone to a certain point, and like that of the Springer Committee at the late session, they have invariably stopped, or hage been successfully obstructed when the scent was keenest and seemingly most easily followed. Some mysterious influence has always blocked the way to a full exposure. Hundreds of millions have been stolen from the treasury during this long lease of Republican'rule. COVXTEHFEIT BONDS, false Treasury notes, duplicate stamps and other fraudulent issues have beeu partially traced, but it is wholly impossible to estimate the extent of the robberies, the forgeries and the frauds upon any known data. These charges do not rest upon politcal prejudice. Senator Edmunds, when Chairman of the Committee of Retrenchment, made a report to the Senate, March 3, 1809, showing that about $49,090,000 in United States bonds, and $10,000,000 in Treasury notes, legal tenders, etc., were .unaccounted tor by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, lie said: The lxy J:b and accounts between the various subdivisions of the printing establishment have been, until recently (to say of defects still existing), so irregularly kept, 1 contain, many of them on txaminaand tion, so many erasures and alterations as considerably to diminish confidence in the accuracy of results derived from euch sources. Mr. Edmunds might have added that original plates and dies were stolon front that bureau and furnished to professional forgers for issues of bonds and notes, some of which were so well executed as to he used by Jay Cook & Co. in the days of their great power at the Treasury. One of the earliest acts of Congress made the Register of the Treasury the official bookoeper of the.Government. It provides that he shall “keep all accounts of the receipts and expenditures of the public mouoy, and of ali debts duo to or from the Uuitcd States.”

Uunci' llie admirable system organized by Alexander Hamilton, the Register alone made all the statements of receipts and expenditures and of the public debt from 1789 to the advent of Grantism, when the Secretary ofthc Treasury assumed to make publications offiiis own differing from those ofthc Register. These contradictions in regard to important facts, about which there could have been no proper disagreement if the true data were consulted, provoked much comment at homo and abroad; and the Secretary of the Treasury ordered the Register, on the 24tli of November, 1871, to adopt the former's figures, and to disregard the accounts aiid vouchers on file in his office, which were the only authoritative basis for the statements in question. ■“ This extraordinary step led to au investigation bv the Senate, which, first and last, extended over three years. Originally it was cramped by a Republican majority, But when tho Democrats gained a temporary, ascendency in that body, tho Treasury officials shut the gates down practically while protending to open them wide. SOME REMARK ALE DISCLOSURES wore made in that iuvcstlgaf ion. linn* deeds of discrepancies were found that could not be satifaolorily explained. In 18C5 the Secretary of tho Treasury, the Register and ilic Treasurer, all agreed that the net revenue was ?333,714,005.08. In 1870 Mr. Boutwoll’s new method reduced this aggregate to $328,092,785.52, without a word of explanation as to tlio $10,000,000 thus arbitrarily stricken out. A balance of $0,293,827.79 was absolutely forced to make the conflicting accounts agTce. Tho clerk iu the Register’s ofllce. who for fifteen years had made out the debt statement, testified fts follows:
