We feel bound to otter an apology for the scarcity of editorial and local matter in this issue of the Democrat. Circumstances over which we had no control have brought on tins result. Last Wednesday business '.engagements called the editor to Louisville, which occasioned the loss of three days time. Amt then to make matters worse, shortly after our departure, the foremanof the office, Mr. Newt Selby, was taken with malarial fever apd is not Vet aide to resume his position. Another one of our printers, Louie Jlisgen, has also been on the sick list, and the consequence is that almost the eutirc work, editorial and mechanical has been,thrown upon the editor.— Wc can assure our readers that if a little charity is shown us now, hereafter the ' Democrat will come forth bright and newsy as ever.

Parker, and Clarence Parker & Co. have invested in a race horse. Clean np has been the order of the day with our merchants since the dust was settled. • The weather Continues distressingly drouthy-rdost siitTc.cating, water scarce, vegetation rottening. The latest advices from Princeton indicate that the fair at that place this week will be a grand success. Miss Ida Pagin'* entertainment at the Opera House Tuesday evening was not very largely attended. Fos Sage.—A good sound and clean wheat for seed, at C. D. Alexander's farm, terms reasonable. Quite a number of our young men Went to Princeton Monday, to hold foi-th at the fair as peanut vendors. A fitii line of men’s and boys’ boots and shoes, cheap at P. C. Hammond & Son's.

We M ould suggest that the Rcpttb- ! lican manager's of this place offer a chromo to every one who will attend | their dub meetings. They have . tried everything else. Mark L. Waltz is getting material on the ground for the erection of a two story residence on the lot recently pnrchashed by him from Dr. D. J. Phillips, on Sixth street. A valuable cow belonging to Simon P.

By taking Ayer s Sarsaparilla many a suffererwlm submits to the surgeon’s knife because of malignant sores and scrofulous swellings, might be saved, sonnd and whole. This w ill purge out the corruptions which pollute the blood and by which such complaints arc originated and fed. Miss Ida Pagin, who M as extensively advertised to deliver a speech liefore the Blaine & Logan/club last Wednesday evening, failed to materalize as an orator, but did deliver two or three excellent and highly entertaining recitations. Miss Pagan is a lady "of good conception and splendid delivery. We are informed that a box of poor whiskey, disguised under the name of a cordial, arrived here l>y express last Saturday, directed to the.Ladies Aid Society, to be sold for the beneI tit of one of the Petersburg churches. Of course the ladies do not intend engaging in the saloon business and will indignantly reject it.

The days are sensibly growing shorter and the long evenings of the pleasant weather steal upon ns with a sense of enjoyment and contentment which render them very attractive. Time flies rapidly, and it surprises us to find that we are already advanced in the latter half-of the year that seems to have opened upon ns but yesterday. ^.Coroner Withers, with George Gulliek at the desk, held an inquest an last Sunday on the IkkIv of .1. M. Gray, n colored man of some distinction, who was president of a Blaine & Logan club at Ayrshire, near Winslow. Train No. 22 on tlie Air-Line was moving eastward at a rapid rate when Mr. Gray, who was a cripple, was taken up by the swirl of the train, his head served from the body a»uTirfn-i4te!£. scattered from the Winslow crossibgtrrths.switch above. We did not leant any 1'urtEerpariitqlars. The Cress harps a great deal about county matters. Why don’t it tell its readers that the county debt has been increased from $28,000., to $40,000, in the past two years ? Why don’t it tell them that a Republican Board of Commissioners paid tvw> men $18,00 per day to examine the county records, when it could have employed a better man and one just as competent for $4 per day ? Why don’t it tell its reader the facts, and not keep lying week after week about Republican economy, reduction of the county debt, .

Duriug-the Crash in New York Many manufacturers of tine clothing sold their stock at seventy-five cents on'the dollar. M. Lyon bought a magnificent stock at away below cost. His stock is now arriving, and he will really sell the best fif*'suits, for men and boys, at about cost of goods and trimming, not considering the making. IMerit. It seem that the meritorious Singer walked off with the emblem of the best sewing machine at our last fair. The friends of the Singei reply: "Well, what else would you expect?" Everybody Seems Impressed with the same opinion about the grand fall and winter stock just received at Lyon’s,. Evansville. They say that it is the finest, largest, and most fashionable ever seen in the west. People are Sow Convinced That when a customer desires to select a well made durable winter suit there is no place where you can get strictly fashionable stylish clothing as cheap as you can find it at Lyon's. Evansville. His winter stock just received. Twenty-three Mad Girls. The three men and two women who have been working the lace racket .around the city, during the past week, occupying the room fiver Loten’s wall paper house as headquarters, left the city Monday night, and 23 young ladies who each paid $3 in advance to learn to make lace are out just that sum, without repaying any benefits.

How the Brethren Dwell Together in Unity. [Weekly Sews.] There is not a single editor in tlie world that can publish a paper that will please everyone, and there is no editor living that can come as near displeasing every one as the editor of the Press. The only snreess Bro. Gladish has made with his paper is his failure to please. A large number of Isis political brethren are “down” on the Press, so to speak. We were asked by Republicans to buy him out, and then promised potronage bV the same men if we would start the News. A large number of Republicans have told us that they are opposed to the Press and will vote against it at the coming election, A large majority of the soldier element in this county are bitterly opposed to the Press, and vow they will antagonize it on election day.. Even a portion of the conuty candidates are opposed to the Press. One of these candidates says that he indorses the policy of this paper; another one says that if lie was elected he would give his printing to the paper that would do }t for the least money; another one say's that if he is elected he will give all liis advertising to this paper, whether such an act -sv^dd please the editor of the Press, or not. This same Republican candidate says that he hopes the Press will sink; oil t of sight, lie also says that if the Republican candidate for slienfi does not [hedge himself to giv e out the printing of the.sheriff’s sales to the lowest bidder he will defeat said candidate, Wc are ready to give names of these three candidates. l)o you want them, ftro. Gladish ? From one fourth to one third saved by calling early in Scptembei ami selecting from the fresh stock ol winter clothing just received at Lyon’s.

We have remained a silent and-an amused . listner for sometime ut the wild ravings of the Press. We have not attempted to answer it because wc wanted to see to what extent it would carry its lying in regard to county matters. Oue reading the Press would think that *he Democratic officials ef the county had been thieves and robbersj that they had “gutted" the treasury i and left the county in financial ruin, and that the Republican party had fortunately come into power in the nick of time to save the county from utter rain. Mow we think that when a newspaper undertakes to enlighten its readers upon any subject it should deal honestly with them, and teU them the fat Is as tliej exist. In discussiug county matters the Democrat has always been very particular, and would not make a statement that was not absolutely true, and could be pi-ov-en so by the county records. Two years ago when we asserted that the present Democratic officials were the mo d economical the county had ever seen, it was true. dVc asserted that if they Wbre not re-elected the taxpayers would make a mistake. Our advise was not taken, now let us see if our prediction was no! trne. Iu June 1882 the county debt was only $28.00)—all told. In June 1881 the outstanding county orders was over $10,000. A difference of over $12,000 iu two years. Dare the Press deny this? The Press made a great deal of fuss over the investigation of the county records. The Democrat has never oppossed a:t honest, and an economical investigation of the records, but it did oppose the employment of Mr. Bennett at $0.00 per day, because it considered it an outrage upon tiie tax-payers of the county, and said so at the time. Every taxpayer now admits that we were rij lit. An examination of the county records ought not to have cost over $000. But the Republican Commissioners and Auditor have already made it cost over$4,500, and the end is not yet. Taxpayers, is this the reform that was promised you ? THE REl’TBLIfAe MANAGERS IN A NEW BOLE.

They Resort to the Methods of a Street Medicine Vender to Secure a Crowd. It is real amusing to see the methods ivsorted to by the Republican managers, of this place, in their efforts to draw crowds and arouse enthusiasm for the o. r. p. Their lust effort was very much on the -style of Dr. Lamronx.wtio.it will be remembered, drew large crowds on the streets by means of a concert company, after which lie would discourse upon the merits of Ids medicines, proving cVo reassert ioti by "Skimiueriiorn,” a member of ids party. It was announced that “3Ii»s {da I’agin, late, of Chicago, an elocutionist of rare talent, would entertain the Blaine and Logan einb, at the court house oil Thursday evening, with a few select readings." This was a "white elephant*’ attraction and by resorting to personal persuasion they succeeded in geitiag^he court room comfortably filled vita people, the greater number of whom were ladies. The Demoisat reporter being very partial to elocutionary entertainments, especially when the elocutionist is a ciianning voting lady, toll in with' the crowd and was soon comfortably seated in the court room. The meeting was called to order by F. i». Posey, who,in a very handsome manner, introdneed Miss Pagin. Her first selection was a war reminiscence, In which General Logan was the principal character, and her personation of the general forcibly reminded one of the vidian in a heavy tragedy. However, we presume that Miss Pagin received her ideas of the general from the cuts published 'in foe Republican papers, and is therefore excusable for making hint appear a veritable "Black I km aid.” At the close of this recitation, Mr. Posey arose and stated that Joseph Stubblefield would address the audience, and promising them that if they would be patient they should be favored with further recitations by Miss Pagin. This was wholly unexpected by the greater part of the audience. and expressions* of disappointment and disgust were freely indulged in. Mr. Stubblefield came forward and. after making seVerai apologies, stating that he had been sick' and offering to prove by his wife that he had not been drunk, proceeded to make an hour and a half speech, playing the part of ‘-Dr. Lamroux,” with ex-Rev. James Rusk in the role of “Skimmcrhorn.” It soon became apparent that Joe, and not Miss Pagin, was the chief character of the evening's entertainment, and after he had spoken an hour and still showed no signs of relenting, the faces of those present began to assume a “what-have-I-done-to-dcserve-suck* punishment*’ expression, ami it did seem that lie, like Tennyson's brook, would -‘go on forever.” At the close of "Dr.” Stubblefield’s deserhition upon the merits of the great Republican medicine, “warranted to cure all ills that human flesh is heir to or money refunded; none genuine without the star-route and other rings blown in the bottle,” Miss Pagin gave two more selections, after which the crowd left eu masse without awaiting dismissal. • Just what the next attraction will be we are unable to state, but are of the opinion that they will not succeed in getting a crowd soon again. For the best boots and shoes in the market, go to I\ C. Hammond & Son's.

Not Allowed to Speak. The Vice President of the Wauian's Christian Tempo ranee Union of the State—Mary E. Balch was advertised to lecture in this place, on the 4th in si:, at 7 .-at) o'clock p. ni. She came but was not permitted to speak, by the“temperance ? leaders'' in this place. She was asked. “Do you say anything against the Republican party in you address 5" She replied that she did. She was then asked the same question concerning the Democratic party. Slje replied that she also condemned the Democratic party as well as the Republican party when site was satisfied they had gone wrong on the temperance question. She was then informed that if she had anything to say against the “Republican party, that had done all that had ever been done for the cause of temperance" she could not use the church in which to lecture. And she had better give up the idea of lecturing on Temperance iu Ptinceton. She replied that she was not in the habit of speaking with a “gag” in her mouth, and if she was not to he free to express he views of both the old parties she did not de- ' sire to.speak, arid she did not. Reader, draw your own comments.— [Princeton Democrat.

Blow the Republican* “Respect” the Greenbaekers. . [ Weekly News.] In reply to ‘-Farmer'’ a correspondent of the Press, we wish to say this: 3'he editor of this paper never opposed a coalition lx-twee a the Republicans and Greenbaekers because we ■k new it would render Democratic success impossible. We opposed the coalition because we thought Republicanism right and Grecnbackisia wrong. -Cor were we alone in the matter. At the first Maine, and Logan meeting held at this place r. majority of those present voted so. la his speech oh the subject of a rendition, Mr. J. G. Weaver, (the present Recording Secretary of the Blaine and Logan club abtiiis place) ‘-opposed a coalition with the two-hundred and fifty pound wart '—meaning the Greenbaekers. While we do not indorse Air. Weaver's language, yet that gentleman was loudly applauded by the Republicans in attendance. We mention this fact to show that we were not the Only one that opposed a coalition. At the Fair.

From Vinceune-i Vbcksses, Ixd.. Sept. 15, lifts!. Let us shake hands over the brilliant political prospects in view. Knox, l*ike and Xhivless counties are naturally linked together by geographical lines and have a sympathetic* feeling politically as well as a business point of view. Knox stands up ready to give her usual Democratic majority of eight hundred, with an increase, making her come for Cleveland and Hendricks with a round one thousand. Mow you can depend on tins being as correct as a good guess can come-to it, the changes -in the township’s warranting the assertion. Governor Gray was on his way to Modern iast Saturday and stopped over in the city in cognltio. liis presence here leaked out, however, and the gallant Democracy of Vincennes appeared in vast numbers at his hotel and tendered him a serenade, and the next Governor of Indiana pointed out to his audience in a neat little sjshs-ii the fuel that Indiana would give the Democracy 15,000 majority in November. ” The local candidates to-be chosen at the coming election, are: for Sheriff, Martini.. Scddlemeyer, long a deputy and the principal official next to the responsible head. Then comes for Representatives, Sam \V. William, for Knox, and Gerard Reiter, for Knox, Sullivan and Greene. Of course fliese gentlemen have a dead sure thing on “getting there.” S^. Hollingsworth, thm present incumbent, is a candidate for reelection to the office of county treasurer. He has made a faithful and competaut official and is assured of a re-election. Frank Reiter, deputy county auditor, t^is completed tlie tax duplicate. It is a nice piece of work and was a voluminaous task. ('has. Wilson lost a team of iron gray match horses last night, some one on the scent of horse flesh having stolen them. Your correspondent was out a t the fair grounds, the otlier day, by invitation of Secretary Reiter, and shown through the premises. He is having erected a building tibxtSl feet, two stories high, tube utilised in the display of farm products on the first tier of halls, and the second exclusively for the fine arts. He has in addition completed one hundred and sixty booths for stock. The enclcsier embraces 43 acres, is well housed with appropriate buildings, and has one of the finest race tracks of any fair association in the State.' As Knox county has been ,liberal in her attendance upon the Pike county fairs, we look for like reciprocation. Our exhibition will commence on the 13th of October and continue one week. I met John Glenn, Superintendent of the Poor Asylum this morning, and talked, to him about 1 is official affairs. He said he had SS paupers, scarcely any of them of any assistance, awl more were constantly coming. Occasional.
