Faithful in all Tbftigs. V Buffalo Express, Rep.: 1*hc people of Buffalo have known Mr. Cleveland as one of their ^worthiest citizens, one of their manliest men—faithful to his clients, faithful to his friends, faithful ■to every public trust. Proud of His Record* Buffalo Advert iser, Rep.: The people of Buffalo are proud of the record he has made as Mayor of the city and as Chief ^Magistrate of the SU-te. While we earnestly support the candidate of our party for President of the United \ Statet, ice would not detract one Jot or tittle from the well-earned fame of the distinguished gentleman who honors the opposition by bearing its standani. A Bit I UK TAKER. If Dishonest Then, is He Honest Now? \Yhat a leading Repub i an paper now supporting Blaine tliougKt of him In 1872: “The startling exposure of Speaker Blaine's venality in connection with the Union l\tcijic Hoad, Modem Division, entirety destroys, of course, whatever credit some people may have given his pensive denial of the Oakes: Antes bribery, and puts the whole case of the Credit M obi tier ttpga a different basis. * * * Now it is shown ■that Speaker Blaine 'never dcserretl his good reputation, lie had taken bribes in another ca«e.M—[New York Tribune, Sept. 30,1872. Keep it before the people that “Unnecessary taxation is legalized robbery/' ‘__ WlI.VT iwj-, : -K'“o men m his mines and on his railroads ? _ Tiie health of Mr. Samuel J. Tilden has ceased to he a factor in the campaign. * Kepuelk aN papers arc getting very nervous as the time for (.’Iceland's letter approaches. There is no better way for Demos erats to canvass than to circulate sound Democratic?'newspapers. Some very pathetic Republican appeals for “soap” are being sent ont by the managers of the grand old party. v The Republican lament •'over the disappearance of our navy is as ingenious as a cat's lament over the disappearance of the cream. When you have to speak of tariff just substitute the word tax and you will have loss trouble in understanding the complex nature of the term. IIad Mr. Blaine in years past been less of a free-trader with his Own honor he would not now be put to such desperate straits for protection. Most of the “laboring” men who . are for Blaine wen: well described by Gen. Bragg at Chicago. They labor ou the crank of the Republican machine. _ Why don’t soincenterprising showman secure the magnetic man from Maine and the electrical girl from Georgia and start a side show. There’s millions in it.

Mm Seckktaky Chandler has not been hcartt from since the latest kick of the tail of the ticket. He improbably studying the life and habits of the American mule. * ___ AVrrn Hendricks, Old Saddlebags f and the Sycamore to the front, Indiana is as sure Democratic, as sure— well, as sure as Blaine stole those Mulligan letters. The Republicans are already howling like midnight cats overNast’s cartoons in Harper’s Weekly. The Democrats grinned and bore those things quietly for twenty years. Two clippings from the leading Republican papers of Buffalo, %'hk-h appear at the head of tins column, bear the highest testimony to the character and standing of Gov. Cleveland in the city where he ka,> spent bis life.

| Stevk Kliiks proposes to make the ■campaign “typical of Its chief.” The style of campaign he lias 1* 'iviiitMl is’ indicated hv his remark that “tlft- | vote of Indiana is largely a question | of finance.” Some of this Blai ne papere say that his full name is Stephen Grover Cleveland. Well, wind of it? Gen. Grant's name was Hiram Ulyses Simpson Grant, but he walked into the President') just the same. Talk about Blaine carrying West Virginia! Tlic l>emoeratie demonstration at Wheeling the other night indicates anything but that:. In point of nniubcrs and hearty enthusiasm nothing like it was ever knoVn in the l>olitical history of the State. Sqme of our Republican Mends are claiming that the Irish World, now for Blaine and Logan, is a Democratic paper. Not much. Four years ago ■it supiiorted Gen. Weaver, the greenback coiulidate* in preference to Hancock. It is wow an outspoken advocate of the Repub] iean party. James Speed, the only surviving member of Lincoln's Cabinet, B. II. Bristow, about the only honest man* Grant ted in his Cabinet, and Carl Schurz* of Hayes’ Cabinet, are all actively supporting Cleveland. Verily the Republican party lias become so rotten that its founders and best men have deserted it.

Harder's Weekly last week published a supplement Si which it reproduces a minil>er of cuts published in 1880-82 a nd ’81. If tliese cuts have any meaning Harper's Weekly could not have consistently supported.Mr. Blaine They paint the record o.f the Plumed Kniglit in colors that reflect neither honesty or ability. One estimate of the cost of the Grcelv Relief expedition is as high as $700,000. If 7 cents worth of good was accomplished by the three years sojourn of the explorers in the Frigid Zone, that fact is yet to be made known. The next enthusiast to propose a trip toward the pole ought also to volunteer to foot the,bill. Already the Independent Republicans of Boston, the “political dudes.” as the reg-ulars call them, have enrolled the liam^s of six thousand Republicans ivlio pledge themselves to vote against Blaine. There are only about 20,000 Republicans all told in the city of Boston, and the number in this revolt admirably illustrates the condition of the Biaiineites in the Eastern States. __________ Gex. Swaijj, who has been removed from the position of Judge Advocates General of (be Army until the court martial organized for liis trial shall have given their verdict, has not only swindled the bankers of Washington and Ills fellow officers, hi t it is ilia ‘god -hit he has got away with the money raised for the purpose of erecting a monument to Garfield's memory. Swaini is a staunch Republican._ lx his speech before the Cincinnati Convention, June 14tli, 1876, John A. Logan said: “No man who talks about reform has aiiv business in the Republican party.” For once the present candidate for the vice presidency spoke in correct English, easily to be understood, tiie true sentiments of liis party. The party now in power entertains no idea or purpose of reform. Its only object and end in view is to retain its Wa.i —-c flees. Will wonders never cease ? Horse railways were superseded iu San Francisco and Chicago by continuous cable power; and now, in Cleveland, electric power lias been successfully applied to this -purpose. The new plan is said -to be almost noiseless, easy of application, and very economical. The cost of the construction is 1 less than that of the. cable roads. It really appears as if this mysterious force would yet be used for purposes not now thought of. Mr. Blaink employs imported contract labor at 60 cents a day ia his mines, and the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mr. B. F. Jones, w as the first American manufacturer to import and employ Hungarian labor. In 1876 he met a strike of liis skilled mechanics by importing pauper laborers in herds, and only gave in when ho found lie couldn’t work them to his advantage. Both Mr. Blaine and Mr. Jones are making the canvass on the issue of protection to labor.

No wonder the Republicans cry out •‘give ns no more funny business.” When tlio illustrated papers of the country were on their side they couldn't- get funny business enough. Now all is changed, and of all the illustrated journals of the day the only supporters of the Republican ticket are the Judge and the Hatchet. Very appropriate this. But though Mr. i Blaine uiay carry his little Hatchet,' aud though thy Judge may be on his side, we are firmly of.tho belief that the jury will be against him. It is said that AVuitelaw Eeid, who was one of the select council that passed upou Blaine's letter before it waf given to the press, insisted that the Star Route frauds should be denounced, but Steve Elkins objected, declaring that if his friends and pals, Dorsey, Brady and others, were to be “abused” in the. letter, Mr. Blaine might find somebody else to distribute the two dollar bills now begin printed at the bureau of Engraving and Printing'for use in the campaign. The pure and j»eace-lov-ing AVuitelaw at once withdrew his suggestion and the litter, instead of censuring the Stai Iioutc thieves, practically defends them by fommending the Civil Service under which the government was robbed by them, as the best the world ever saw.

Both Blaine an;l. Logan, in their letters, declare in effect, that there ■'tvltl^be no change iiiprgdmiufeti-alivc policies if they shall he ekctwL The fact that Elkins, one of the Star; route rogues, =had a hand in the preparation of Blaine’s letter, explains -Whwtcontained not a single expression in favor of reform. The Star Route and other thieves do not want reform. What they want is full restoration, with enlarged powers, to the control of the Treasury, and the election of Blaine would undoubtedly assure them that. PitEsiDKNT Akthuk seems to have no more respect for that conglomerate of clap-trap, the Republican platform, than Johu Sherman or the Republican senate. OnC* of its planks declares distinctly that appointments to office in the territories shall be made from actual residents thereof, but right in the face of this, aud following it, we see appointed and confirmed an Indiana man to be chief justice of Wyoming, an Illinois man to lie governor of Dakota, and a New York man to he associate justice of Dakota.

Who is responsible for the numerous bank failures ? The Republicans during the entire 48th Congress have claimed that the county was never more prosperous, and said .that we should let well enough alone. They said that if Morrison’s; bill passed the business of the country would be interrupted, and a crisis be brought about. The bill didn’t pass, and the war tariff is still as a Republican Congress left it. Yet we find business unsettled, products of the country much lower than they were six or eight months ago, banks breaking, and business failures all over the country. Certainly it cannot he charged to the Democrats; therefore according to their own logic the Republicans alone are responsible for it, their pet scheme being Still in full force. _ The Democrats have nominated good men upon a good platform. It deserves the support of alt honest citizens, regardless of old party affiliations. The men who have siezed control of the Republican organization are not true Republicans. They would i>o disowned With contempt and horror by the founders of that party—by the Lincolns, Sewards, Chases, Sumners and 'Wades. They are rejected bv honorable Republicans all over the land. To vote for Grover Cleve- . land is to vote against the worst conspiracy of corrupt and evil elements this country has ever heard appealing for votes to give it control of the Treasury and the opportunity to misgovern.—[New York Herald. The foregoing from the Herald ought to have weight with the thinking men of the country. It presents at a glance the condition of the Republican party, Thbt it was powerful and influential, need not be questioned ; that it is corrupt to a degree which is driving from its camp its honest element, will not he de- ; nied by men who place any value upon their Opinions. | The Herald refers to the Republican party as the “worst conspiracy ofj corrupt and evil : elements this country has ever heard I ‘ ' appealing for votes.’’ The Republican party wants votes in the interest of corruption and plunder, and the fact is what influences honest Republicans to abandon it. Honest men want an honest Government. They do not believe Mr. Blaine will give them such a Government, and hence | they will vote for Cleveland and Hen-' ! d ricks. -:-) For more than twenty years the Republican party has had almost unrestricted control of the country. It iias shaped the policy of six adminis- [ t rations and ili£tato(t>" legislation during nearly the same period. Within that time nearly every evil of which the people now complain has had. its birth and development, and the party can not evade tho;responsibility for the errors and abuses that have grown up under its own exercise of power. The derangement of our finances, the corruption of our civil service, the destruction of our commercial, marine, the deterioration of our navy, the grant of enormous tracts of lands to railroads, the creation of a high protective tariff, the importation of foreign and servile labor, the loss of American prestige abroad, and many other discreditable facts have h:td their origin ,and acquired their strength under Republican rule. In order to assume the attitude of reform, that party, in its national platform, acknowledges the necessity for and promises the correction of some of these abuses, lint these promises are made with no intention of performance. What the party could have done but would hot do in the past it will not do in the future. The Democratic party offers to the people the only prospect of change, relief and reform. Change in the characters and spirit of our rulers, and reform in every department of the government which has grown corrupt under Republican rule.

Why Wages are Higher Here. [Boston Herald.] Why are M ages higher here than they are in almost every part of the world? The protectionisms will say that it is because of protection. This is absurd,becansb they have protection in China evon more rigid than in this, country, where the M ages arc less than ten cents per day. • They have a rigid system of protection in Germany where the average yvages are less than half what they are here, and hence it hardly needs to lxs i said that wages are controlled by other considerations than the protectionary laws made by the government. We have high M age's here because of.the abundant opportunities for work that our natural resources offer; because the number of workers is this coifntry, considering its size, is small, and, over and above all this, because the American people work harder than any other nation on the face of the earth. A feeble attofnpt has been made to prejudice Workingmen agaiust Gov. Cleveland by: charging that he is friendly to Monopoly. Then M'liy are the most conspicuous monopolist, such as Jay Gould, Cyrus \V. Field, Bussell Sauik; and othere agaiust him ami for Blaine ? Gould has declared that he iis “perfectly satisfied” with Blaine, awl Gould never mistakes his man.-f-[New York Herald, (lml. Hep.)

The Fire Cert Fare TeU*. XIif- Kepublicans are making a great dfcal of noise about Gov. Cleveland ha via* ■vetoed a MU ]*roposiug to reduce fare on the, elevated railways to live ecuta,. and couteml that his veto operates against the interests of the laboring man, and the poor in general. Such is not the effect of this veto. Under the charter creating these railways there is a clause fixing the fare at five cents from 5 :30 to 8:30 anil from 4:30 to 7 ;30 p. m. Between these hour: these railways had never charged more than five cents fare, that is from half past five until half past eight in the morning, and from half past four until half past seven in the evening, anil no more was charged each way. It is between these hours, morning and evening that the poor and the laboring class patronize these Railways, going out to their work in the morning and returning in theevening. From hgjf past eight in the morning until half past four in' the evening the fare is ten cents’. Tlie people that do the principal part of the traveling on these cjtrs between these hours are hankers, doctors, preachers, merchants, and others eon•stituting the rich people odfew York. Now the bill that Gov. Cleveland vetoed was in the interest of these rich people aud proposed to reduce the tare from ten to five cents. Gov. Cleveland vetoed this hill because it was in conflictwith the chartered right of these railways, and in doing so lie opposed the interests of bankers, merchants, doctors and other rich people, who were clamoring for the passage’ of this bilK It took nerve to do it, but he had the nerve to do it, anj.1 in doing so he operated not against the poor but the rich.

The list of Blaine bolters in Massachusetts contains over 5,000 names. ‘ I>. D. Stewart, late president of the State Senate in Maine, has bolted Blaine. Carl. Scliurz, who was in Hayes’ Cabiuet, declares for Cleveland and Hendricks. This is about the size of it: If Blaine is elected, the worst elements of the party will rule. Senator Beck,-of Kentucky, thinks the Democrats will carry New York by 50,000 majority. B. II. Bristow, about the only honest man Grant had in his Cabinet, declares for Cleveland. G. IV. Fla**”', secretary of the Massachusetts Republican State committee, comes out for Cleveland. . It is said that Blaine and Logan will take the stump. They see the necessity of somebodv supporting the ticket. Mrs. iValiaco saw through the scheme-of the Republican hos-es and denounced them openly to the Prohibition Convention. Judge Bl' on efftp New Jersey supreme court, v. ho last fall was the Republican candidate for Governor, has declar'd for Cleveland. The Democrats are confident of securing a majority of the llliuois legislature, and gaining a successor to Logan in the United States Senate. a * xk ik. . ith:,' in., u Cleveland and Hendricks club of German Republicans was organized last week, with 62 Voters, and it now has nearly 200. The proprietors and all the employes at Cook & Rico’s brewery at Lvansville will, for the first time, vote the national Democratic ticket- next fall. Blaine’s confidence in a doubled majority in Maine is shown by Ms invitation to fifty prominent Republics lpCongressman to canvass the State before September. Chairman Jones, of the Republican National Committee, seems,to be alive to the necessity of the occasion'. "He has made a personal contribution to the party soap barrel of^l0Q,0Q0. Letters have passed bat ween Maj. Calkins and Col. Gray, and a series of joint discussions will be agreed upon in a few days—one in each of the thirteen Congressional Districts of Indiana. Blaine’s letter to .“Mv dear Fisher,”, claiming his share of the Arkansas railroad steal, for deciding as Speak er of the House in its favor, is not one-twentieth as long as Ms letter of acceptance. The New York Tribune supported Gov. Cleveland’s veto of the railroad hire bill, and said, it was a stab at the foundation of monopolists and corruptionists. Now it is finding fault with the veto. Senator Logan is said to have one relative who is not in a government office. If this is the way the administration is going back on the candidate for vice president, all good Republicans should know it.

Lot ns see. What party was it, not many years ago, that alluded to IrishAmorican and German-Amcriean eitlscens as “flannel-mouthed Irish and lop-eared Dutch ?” It wasn’t the Democratic {Arty, was it? Secretary Chandler dodges, behind a tree-box every time he sees a letter carrier. The lettor-carriers should be made to understand that the correspondence between Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hendricks has been dropped. The Freie Presse, the only German paper printed in Brooklyn, is out in support of Cleveland and Hendricks. Its editor and proprietor'is a member of the 21st WardRepublican Association, and a motion was made last Friday to expel him, but, much to the consternation of the Blaino men, it was defeated. No Congressional bribe-taker, no venal Senator, no corrupt Speaker of the House of Representatives, no bought judge, no jobbing Cabinet Minister, chief of bureau, contractor clerk or cashier has ever been punished at Washington. A few of them less brazen than the others, have been form! into private life, but the thief who has had the impudence to defy public opinion has invariably maintained his position or secured another one. Party has been liis *egis, and in lighting the battles the reverend and the thief have touched shoulders.—[Chicago Herald.

Wfc«t an independent Republican Thinks of fount; Matters. i. We clip t!i2 following- items from the last issue of the News : Tuk present Republican officials of this . county have saved several thousand dollars l»y their wise and economic administration. —[Press. If the above is true why is it that the county debt has been increased.— [News. The editor of the Press, in the last issue of his paper, attempts to claim that he has no ill-feeling for J. W. Richardson. It mav be that Bro. Gladish actually loves Mr. Richardson, but the files of his paper would not cause any one to think so.— [News. E. H. Reedy, the Democratic candidate for commissioner of the second district, lives so neat" the Gibson county line that his interests are about the same in one county as in the other.—[Press.. And only it few years ago when the Democrat claimed the same, thing against Alex Ulliphant. the Press belittled the editor of the Democrat for producing such argument.—[News. A m ajority of the voters of this county two years aga said they wanted the books and records thoroughly investigated. This has been dona and the question now is do you W ant the money that has been unlawfully taken from the Treasury paid hack? If you do, vote for Johnson and Evans, for comm issioners and they .will see that it is done.- -[Press.

We have no flgnt to make against Johnson or Evans, hut v.-e think it is silly upon the part of the editor of tSit* Press to make such claims as the above. The Republicans, for years, ; have claimed that if they, ever succeeded in electing t«o county 0oni- ‘ missioner* they wouj.l nave a new jail house built at this place. Two Uepulilieans were elected and the first thing* that was did was to have one of the commissioners to pledge himself t o not build a jail for fear it would defeat’ the Republican party at the coming election. Any candidate for the office of county commissioner that goes around blowing what he will do in ease Jp* is elected, ought to be defeated. A commissioner takes an oath to do his duty and he does not know what will be his duty until he is elected and ready to transact the business of the county. Mr. Johnson has been tried as a county commissioner, and the majority that will be piled up against him at'the next election will- we sufficient to satisfy him beyond auy doubt that his services are no longer needed by the tax-pay-ers of Pike county. The contract made by the two Republican commissioners with the experts have killed those two gentlemen, politically speaking, as dead as the prospects are to elect 15en Butler President.— [News. Fraud Coming to Light. The Indianapolis Herald, the leadingweekly Republican journal in the State makes this declaration : “Hendricks has Republican consent to punish Chapdler, Secretary of the Navy. We have no sympathy for this political ward hummer. He is pert and brassy. He mistakes arrogance lor ability. He has for years quartered upon Indiana one of his naval officers, a paymaster in the navy. This young man has not been near the navy for years. He is at home engaged in private business, and yet within tin last year Chandler, 'lias increased his salary. This young man is in the pay of the Government, receiving £L,oOG per annum, yet for three years he has not, so far as we know, done one item of service for the Government.
