For length of jaw and solidiarityof cheek the Vincennes Commercial man takes rank among things which are Wonderful. In 1878 this paper issued a Daiiy during the Fair in this county, and has continued to do so every year since that time, and iso far as wc are advised the Democrat was the first in the State to establish a like enterprise. The money realized has been of no consequence, but the pride of caring tor ones’ own, has invested the Work with au interest which has in part c ompensated for the shortage in cash. This town has as many newspapers as Vincennes, and cither of them have ample facilities to put off shell a paper if they felt inclined i:o do so. But the Commercial man proposes to forestall ns this year by issuing a Fair Daily for our people, from the Commercial office, and has had a solicitor pass over the advertising field here for that purpose. The upshot of the whole tiling will be that we will have the paper and the Commercial man experience; after which lie can nurse his jaw and bray over what “might have been but was not.”

Our Republican friends in an about this “burg” are, it would seem, uot of one mind on things political. The last issue of the News contained a call for an Independent Republican meeting, to be held at Dr. Adams' office on last Friday evening.. On the same night a rally was held at the court house with two" speakers in attendance, namely: ex-Rev. James Rusk and F.B. Posey, and the Blaine and Logan club was reorganized by having J. TV. Wilson, supercede Mr. W. H. Thompson' as president,and ro-elccting’J.Guss Weaver, as secretary thereof. The Democrat is wholly at a loss to understand the object of a reorganization of the club, since it had but recently found an existence, and the muddle thickens when it is considered that sncli a man as TVm. H. Thompson, is suddenly divested of the authority lately bestowed upon him. The Democrat devines this state of affairs to mean that the foi - mcr president of the club would uot lie “clay in the hands of the potter” or was too fully enlightened on the official record of “the Plumed Knight,” t o enthuse. i Lots and Laud For Sale. Twelve lots at private sale.

County Institute in session this week, consequently we sec many of the so called mind trainers prominading our “much needed” brick ]lavements. Prof. G. AY. Thompson, of Terre Haute, is enlivening the instituta with his jolly appearance this week. Miss Ida Pngin, late of Chicago, is also in attendance, anil will give an entertainment at the M. E. church, Thursday evening. AVinslow is Ixtginning to put on airs, she is now thinking of incorporating. If she does, side-walk timber will bo-in demand. The colored population at Ayrshire mines had n barbecue and dance last Satureay, which was qnile a novelty for these part*. Messrs. John Whitman and John T. Thomas, were kindty solicited to act as marshals of the day, Imt quietly declined to accept

the highly honored positions tendered them by their colored friends. We had quite a lively time at our Clevtlaud and Hendricks club meeting last Friday night, lion. E.' A.

Cleveland and Hendricks Polo Raising at Survant. Your correspondent was called on the 21st inst. to participate in hoisting a Cleveland and Hendricks polo at Survant, otherwise known as the Iron Bridge, which by the way is a good name. The pole in question was of hickory, ns ail Democratic poles are, was cut, trimmed and shaped by Democrats and hoisted with the assistance of the neighbors.of whatever political faith with a good will. A galvanized iron rooster perched some ninety feet from the ground, and indication^whidh way the wind blows; decorated that portion of the altitude which Democracy has sought to gain for a quarter of a century, aud which it now bids fair to attain. The number of hearty whole-souled vouiig Democrats of Marion, who seemed6 to throng the woods in that vicinity would indicate that for at lensttwo decades the good work has b?on progressing, and after manv years had succeeded in bringing about that grand and glorious sentence “Democracv shall Triumph.” The Hon. .1, E. McCullough was present, and in tones not to be misunderstood told of events that exist and events to come, aud tiie patient, attentive multitude that lined the forest told the tale and sanctioned the outgoing of tiie party in power and the ascendancy of Democracy. Mr. L. B. Hargrave was then introduced and was attentively listened to during his brief remarks upon tiie issues of the dnv, and at no time was there a disturbance to mar the harmony of tha vpst multitude. The dance went on and all was merry, all was as it should have been, and none was better pleased than Pem. S. ATjtukrs.

t rom j'&rtou Township. The editor of the Press recently published sketches of the candidates nominated by the Republican county convention in which he says: . « For Recorder the Renublicnns present the name of George West, a resident of Marion township. Mr. West was formerly ncitizen of Warriek county, but came to this county four years ago and engaged in the .profession of school teaching, and has made Pike county Ids home ever since.” We will say for the benefit of the editor of the Press and those who desire to know the truth, that George West never was a resident of Marion township. He (West) came to the township in the fall of 1880 and taught a school. When the State election came oil' Mr. West went to his home in Warrick county to vote, and came hack to Marion township and taught out his school*, after wli&h he went away and was not in the township until the next fall, when he came baek and taught the seeond school. He done so well that the patrons informed the trustee that they would change teachers aiid Mr. West was placid in a different district. This school he did not finish. Just why he did not we cannot tell, but it is said that J. t. Keith, Republican candidate for surveyor, can explain. Now, Mr. Keith we want to hear from you. If George West ever )ived in Marion township why did he not have his property and poll assessed there and pay ilia taxes? Why did he tell the assessor that helived in Warrick county? Will the editor of the Press please explain ? Mr, West is the owner of a good farm in Warrick county and his parents are living there. One more question, Bro. Gladish. Why did not Mr. West ask the voters of Warrick county to give him an office? Will you please uncover the dhrk mvsterv? __'A Yotkb. From Clay Townshipi UNION IND., Aug. 23, 1884. F.ditok Democrat: * Allow me to say that I am 6orry indeed if anycoe has taken an insuit at what was said in behalf of the teachers of Pike, for 1 did not mean to cast any reflection upon the teachers or superintendent, fori tliiuk we have a good superintendent. The laboring class of teachers I think will indorse all i that was said in the article. I thiuk Clay lias a very good corps of teachers, but I say further, let the profession tie honored anil kept up by live and working teachers. Yours, truly, * Clay. DIES.
