TnE Democratic party, duriug supremacy i;i Indiana, lias ai ways guarded the school fund aud the common schools,—‘ the hope of pur country”—and will continue to do so. The Republicans stated out in this campaign with a great flourish of the aggressive trumpet. Already they are downed, aud their defensive bugle is out of order and gives forth a very uncertain sound. It is said that Blaine has made #10,000,000 in the past twenty-f ur years on a salary of #5,000 per year. At that rate what would he make if elected President on a salary of #50,000 per year. Cleveland is attending to his oftieial business as Governor of New Yofk just as if there were no Presidential campaign, and he never felt Presidential inclinations. But then Cleveland his no bad record to expiaiu and no Mulligan letter to accont for. Would any minister or magistrate perform a marriage ceremony, without a license, in a state wlierpjn a license was an “indispensable requisite” and the penalty for doiug so was imprisonment in the State’s prison for three years ? * — “Bcun this letter,” said Blaiiip to Fisher. This was one of tho letters Blaiuc said ho desired the people to read, and requested the Republican organs to publish. With a microscope, yon can not find it in a Republican paper, that wc have seen.

“The Republican party pronouncing a man a defaulter, and promising to have every dollar paid back is an absurdity. Is the record of the party »o good hi the county, state and nation that such a statement can be accepted without allowance ? Nebraska, too, putting on airs about what she will do in November. The Democrats have fused with the anti-monopolists ami nominated Sterling Morton, a prominent Democrat for Governor. If Nebraska is now to wheel into the Democratic column, it would seem the glory of the Lord is to bo speedily made manifest. The county will get as many dollars out of the investigation under a Democratic Bear’d as w'ould be secured under a Republican one. But at the present rate of extravagance the whole amount harped on by the organ and ring will be swamped by expensive experts, fees, etc., should a court deeidc as the exports report. Tijk old leaders have not been helping the corruptionist, Blaine. In the place of such men as Grant, Edmunds, Hawley, Conkling and Cameron wo find Steve Elkins, Blind-pool Cornell, Wood-pulp Miller, Step-ladder Dusted, Dick Busted, Pinehback and many others of this kind. “Birds of a feather,” etc. ff - It is reported that there is another letter which Mr. Blaine forgot to have burned. It was written by him to Miss Stauwood proposing marriage, and the date shows it to have. boon written several months subsequent to the date' of the alleged Kentucky marriage. Mr. Blaine will now find it in order to explain why he should propose if he was already married. Speaking of Grover Cleveland, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, says: He has governed the Empire State anti live anti a half millions of people honorably, honesUy anti well for the past two years. As a son anil brother he has done his duty. Ac a citizen he has done his duty. As a sheriff he has done his duty. As Mayor of Buffalo he has dono hLs duty. As Governor of the State of New York he has done ills duty. And, Ood willing, as President of the United States he will do his duty.

The Press is apparently in. great troublo lest the Democratic eotnmisBioncrs will be elected next month. The editor has visions of direful consequences which will befall the county. The voters easily see through bis editorials—they can “road between overy line,” that he is Ageing for the patronage they control. , “He speaks but for byuself— . The great contention’* an for1 pit.’« The Republican party is a party of progress, Is it? Progress is to improve. The G. O. P. is no doubt improving in its methods of manipula ting machiuc politics; allowing the Brady-Dorsey gang and other like rascals to escape; tying itself to the tail of Mahone’s repudiation kite in Virginiaaiding prohibition in Maine, and “tickling” tho Gormans of Ohio with anti-prohibition work.

Reddick IIaubell, who has •icon employed in the county offices here for twenty-five or thirty years, and Is In every way competent would have done the work of inves tigation for at least one-tenth as much money as has been paid Bennett and his assistant. The Board was solicited to employ Mr. Harrell. Whynoit? Was it because he was too firm in his resolve to do right, aud could not be bundled by a clique of partisans “at their own sweet will?” The Republican managers behind tho coinmteitoners do not carp so much for the ta^-payers as they profess, or why would they pay $4,000 or $5,000 for work when they could employ a man known all over the county, to do tho w ork for that many hundred dollars ? “Consistency, thou art a Jewel t”

■ ■- ‘A triune power behind the throne” says make war upon the Democratic candidates with the ery that the suits will be dismissed and #10,000 lost to tine county, should they be elected. It is a pure invention used by a “macliine ’ who c:wes no wore for,the welfare of the citizens of this county than it doc3 for the inhabitants of Australia or Africa. lie is working for his own selfish ends at the dictation of a party that would subserve the interests of the people for party success. Mormon missionaries are abroad all over the land. They are all Republicans of the straitest sect. It is quite apparent why they should be so. The Republican party has been in power twenty-four years, and as they have never been seriously disturbed iu tlicir sensual methods of life, they have settled down in the faith of Republican principles. Mormonisiu and latter day Republicanism is all of one kind—pure and unadulterated rotteuue93.—[Crawfordsville Review. The Mulligan press is on the defensive ail along the line. Big and little they all say “you are a liar.” “He had nothing to do with the guano business.” “The Little Rock and Ft. Smith railroad and my dear Mr. Fisher busiuess is all a campaign lie.” “He w as not married in March, 1851, and the record of the license and the .return of the preacher’s certificate is a forgery.” “lie is not worth $3,000,000, hut is a very poor man living in a rented house.” “lie never told a lie or took a drink in his life.” Our German readers will be interested in the following paragraph which we dipped from the Evansville Courer: The Illinois Blasts Zcltung in Chicago, the most influential Republican German paper in the west, comes ont in favor of Cleveland. This will give the State of Illinois to the Democrats and surely elect Carter Harrison Governor. The Stoats Zcitung only declared Itself on Thursday of last week. Its editor and proprietor, Mr. Phillip Heslng, was a delegate to the late Republican national convention and has long been recognised as the most Influential German In the Btate of Illinois. There iaucoroely a German household In Illinois or Wisconsin that his weekly papor does not reach; and the importance of the acquisition to the ranks of Cleveland and Hendricks cannot be over-estimated;'

Roueu It. Suiei,. tho Republican candidate for Treasurer of State might as well step down and- out now. His name is ‘-Dennis'’—as the boys say— so far as tho November election is concerned. The Kuights of Labor of Indiana have investigated his action during the late telegraph operators st rike and found that he did all he could do against the strikers and in favor of the great monopoly aud oppressive Western Union Telegraph Company. Aud therefore the Central Trades and Labor Assembly of Indianapolis have adopted resolutions, recommending workingmon to scratch his name; And they’ll do it, mark our words.. i -1 111 1 ' ■ Tun Press insists that Mr. Richardson should, explain the report of the experts. How at once inconsistent! The editor calls upon Richardson to go through his account in a few days, when two experts have already spent one j ear aud three months at work on his books aud one of them is still at it. Mr. Mart Fleenor commenced working on Mr. R’s books on Monday of last week and will go through them as rapidly as possible and as thoroughly as the experts; and will do the work by himself in less than one-third the ] Lime it took the experts to do ip Mr. j Richardson can not he ready for trial until Mr. Flocner gets through with his examination. As to the result of the examination and trial Mr. R. aud his friends feci no uneasiness. Bets are being offered in Ohio that the majority will not reach 10,000 uither way in Octobor. In wagers on the result the Republicans have the call, as it is generally thought that they will carry tho State. Plumb, of Kansas, and Dudley, of Indiaua, are managing the “soap” campaign in tho Buckeye State. Plumb had much experience in his awn Stale, and. Dudley was a pupil »f Dorsey’s in the campaign of 1880. John Sherman lias been turned loose among the Germans of Cincinnati,and Foster has been sent to talk tcmperauce in tho 'Vtfestern Reserve. Flic Republicans are making a dos[terate lig ht, as they recognize the fact that a Ions of Ohio would practically 2nd the campaign.

ax-i/OXGUisBSMAN I'aige, of California, in an interview in Washington, said: “Ohio must bo carried at any :ost, even if it takes 11,000,000.” This seems to be the policy of the Republican party. Col. W. W. Dudley, who was Dorsey’s able lieutenant in Inliana in 1880, is now in Columbus, [}., actively engaged in laying the Inundation for Dorsey tactics. Ohio has always been canned by the Republicans iu a Presidential campaign, ft has never been placed in the Democratic column, either by Republicans i>r Democrats, in making calculations upon results. Her twenty-three electoral votes have always appeared upon the Republican side of the ledger. Garfield’s majority in 1880 was 11,227. Ohio is absolutely necessary for Republican success. This fact is troll understood by the managers of the “machine.” Without Ohio iu October Blaine is a “goner.” On the ether hand, Ohio is not necessary for Dlevelaucl’s success, and if by Dorsey methods the Republicans again tarry Ohio it will havo no effect upon the result in Indiana and New York, upon which Democratic success depends. Alarm has taken possession ef the Republican management, bemuse of the! open desertion of the party by thousands of German Republicans. 'On the other hand, this has enthinsed the Democracy, and there is no question that with u fair election and a fair count Ohio will wheel into the Democratic column. With the experience of 1880 fresh in 'he minds of Indiana Democrats, this will hardly be expected.

Pat Up m Shat Up. The DixocRATof last week asks a* why don't wa Ml oar readers that the county debt has been increased from tSS^DOO to MO,QUO during the post two years* Onr answer is, because such a statement would bo grossly Mae. The county debt has been diminished during the past two years and the books show it. * * * * The indebtedness ot the county In 1888 was about 810,000, and now it Is only 886,000, the Democrat to the oontrury notwithstanding.—[ Press If the Press, or the Republican bosses, believe their statements in regard to the county debt, here is an opportunity for them to get a hold of some Democratic lucre. A gentleman requests U3 to make the following propositions. He offers to bet— $500, that the couuty indebtedness June 1st, 1882, was not $40,000. $500, that the county indebtedness June 1st, 1884, was over $40,000. $500, that the indebtedness was larger June 1st, 1881, than it was June, 1st, 1882. If any party or parties wish to tako the above bets they can be accommodated by calling at this office. In the event the above bets arc taken, each side to select a man to examine the records, and the bets to be decided by their report. “Comparisons arc odious” in the matter of records of ox-Trcasurer Richardson and his predecessor. Mr. R. offered to give bond for the payment of shortage, if any, after a fair and impartial investigation. No; that would not suit the Republican managers. A report must be made by $18.00 a day experts and used to elect a Republican Board of Commissioners. A settlement of the matter was not desired, as it conld not be used as a mud battory. Tax-payers can now see through all of it. They can rest assured that the Democratic Board when elected will not compromise the county in auy way connected with the investigation. The candidates for commissioners are men who can be relied on to do their duty.

The Blaine and Fisher letters given to the public were in the nature of cumulative evidence of what was well and widely known before. They show that Mr. Blaine, while in congress and while speaker of the House of Representatives, was a speculator and jobber, his capital being his official position and legislative power. “Blaine is a valuable man’’ sav the speculators who were seeking favors and franchises from Congress. There cau be not a shadow of doubt of the truth of this remark. The faet that a dozen years enabled him on a salary of $5,000 per annum with a large family on his hauds to become a millionaire proves how well he himself knew was valuable and how fully he profited by such" knowledge. What vast financial possibilities the Presidency would opeu up to a man like James G. Blaine should ho ever reach the presidential chair. The visit of. Lee Craudall to Ohio bodes no good to the Democrats of this State. lie came to the command of Gen. Butler on a telegraph message sent from the far West. lie came because there was danger of a defeat of Butler’s plans to hold the balance of power ip the Electoral college. Should the Democrats carry Ohio in October little short of a revolution could defeat Gov. Cleveland’s elcccion to the presidency in November. The scare experienced by the Republicans for Ohio alarmed Gon. Butler also and he intends doing his best to aid the Republicans in the quadrangular fight in the Buckeye State. He is cutting heavily into Cleveland’s vote in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, but to defeat him in the college he must certainly prevent the Democracy carrying Ohio in October. He will probably be found on the stump in this State before the October ballots fall.—[Cincinnati Evening Post, (Ind. Rep.) The address to the tax-payers Jrom the Republican central committee, published in the Press of thelltl^ult., is the worst political clap-trap that we have ever read. It starts out with the proposition that the Democrats will use extra exertions to defeat Johnson and Evans for commissioccrs and if they are defeated the suits against Mr. Richardson will be dismissed. This is the argument that political bummers and tricksters would make. The election of Messrs. Reedy and Abbott will have no effijet

upon too iticnarusou cases, one way or tho other, and every intelligent man in the connty knows it. If'tie county lost money during Mr. Richardson’s administration as Treasurer the election qf a Democratic Board will not present the county recovering every cent. But- that Mr. Richardson does owe the connty we doubt very much. That the investigation was gotten up for political purpose we are fully convinced. If not for political purposes why havo the officers refused to let Mr. Richardson go through the books of the county,and compare them with tho report of the experts ? ORIGINAL AND OTHERWISE. Every Republican political 6peakor is just now engaged in delivering “the most telling speech of his life’—the same one at every appointmeut. How significant is the Kentucky coat-of-arms—two colonels holding on to each otlier for foar of falling and saying: “United, we staud; divided we fall I” The reason why King Richard III., when waking from a dream, called for “a horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!’’ was because he disliked tho nightmare he had so recently ridden. To return a personal call with cards enclosed in an envelope signifies that visiting between tho persons has oudod.r—Points on Etiquette. “My dear Fishor” and Mr. Mulligan enclosed t|ieir ettrds to Mr. Blaine. When Blaine was speaking from the Revere House balcony tho other evening, he said: “Boston is the home of— “Of Mulligan!” shouted a bright boy in the crowd, before tho candidate could complete his sentence.—[Cincinnati Enquirer.

TOO THIS TO WIN. Democrats Won’t Nibble at the Belt Whew There Is Net Enough Worm to Cover the Seek. The last isisuc of the Press contains a snrpassiugly cheeky electioneering document, signed by C. A. Buskirk and W. M. Land, two gentleman Who belong to the legal profession and practice at the Princeton bar. The former claims to be a Democrat and the latter is known to be aim ncompromising Republican who never wavers in the support of the no: ninees of his party, it matters not who t their delinquencies may be shown to be. These gentlemen have underta ken a task which they will :lind then selves wholly powerless to pe rfrom; namely, to compass tSc defeat of the Hon. Oscar M. IVelborn, Eemocratit candidate for Judge of this Judicial (Circuit; and, /failing in that, to reduce his majority that his opponent may be brought conspicuously before his party in this State. That this statement reveals the true inwardness of this gossamer dodge, is evidenced by the fact that the article referred to first appeared in a Republican paper of the most prom Minted type, published at Princeton, and was accompanied by a reques t that the several papers withlu the bounds of the Cirenit should reprodi co the same. And to further prove thi correctness of our surmises herein, thccopy of the Press containing the article, has a clipping from the Indianapolis Journal, boasting of Democratic defection and cxnltingly predicting the election of a Republican Judge i i this Circuit. The article bewails the fact that if re-elected, Judge W ellorn will have occupied the bench :'or nineteen years with the expiration of his term, and will have drawn a salary for nineteen years services iu the sum of $16,509. A list of the court expenses for Gibsou county is also given, in the vain endeavor to prove Judge Welborn's administration to have been an extravagant one. The fact that he has held the positiou for thirteen years is of itself sufficient proof that the people have unbounded confidence in his ability as a jurist and iu his integrity as a man.

-it in a nuu-Miuw u UM?l lllUi (liC law iu almost every instance fixes tlie rate to be paid in the way ot' court expenses, autl the aggregate sum to be allowed therefor depends upon the amount aud character of the busiuoss brought into court for adjustment. IIow often has it been the case within the past few years, in the Gibson Circuit Court, that criminal cases, involving heavy expense to the county, have been delayed by every plea that gifted lawyers' could employ. Nav, the Democrat ventures the assertion that the writers of the article under discussion have filed many affidavits upon which the court was compelled by law to grant a continuance. We have been informed by our ablest lawyers that when employed in a criminal case they never go to trial as long as anything remains to secure a postponement. Iu the meantime expenses pile up, but the court is wholly powerless to prevent it, as every sensible voter will ascertain by a little inquiry in that direction. Now if the genttouicu who sought to startle the public with figures, for-thc sole purpose of hoodwinking Democrats into supporting one of the bitterest of Republicans, will give the amount and character of the litigation iu the Gibson Circuit Court for the period covered by their figures, and also be honest enough to tell how much cost lias been occasioned by continuances aiid dilatory pleas of counsel, theu their statement may he entitled to some little consideration. But until that is done they cau count all the gulliblo Democrats in this Circuit on the fingers of one hand. They .do not and dare not assort, that Judge Welborn has ever allowed one cent that was not strictly according to law; and if obedient to the requirements of the law, lias he not been faithful to the trust committed to his hands ? Touching the question of salary, hut little need be said. Mr. Buskirk ouce had the honor, by the i vote of Democrats who did not scratch their tickets, of filling the office of Attorney-General of this “great Commonwealth.” He served only four years in that capacity, and yet received about $11,000 for his services. That is but $2,500 short of what he complains of Judge Wclboru making iu nineteen years. “Consistency, thou art a jewel!’" The Democrat stamps the whole thing a Republican trick to get clnbs into the hands of Democrats to peel their own heads with, aud predicts that none will he found foolish enough- to court such blows.

Coal in Pike County. [Winslow Herald.] The greater part of the coal shipped from Pike county goes into the markets of the country as Oakland coal. By H»is means our county fails to got the credit justly due Iter. Oaklaud is in Gibson county, and it is a fact that Gibson county contains very little if any coal, while Piko county is literally one vast field of the finest bituminous coal in the world. The veins vary from four to seven feet in thickness, and .in several neighborhoods an aggregate of 22 feet of coal has been found. This great bed of valuable mineral will, beyond doubt, enrich the country before many years. Let the commissioners sent to the Louisville Exposition from this county see to it that wo get the proper credit for our coal specimens on exhibition. Blaine’s Sayings. “Burn this letter.’' * “I have endeavored in writing not to ho indelicate.” “You can tell C'ladjvell that without knowing it I did him a great favor.” “It will bo to some extent a matter of favoritism as to who gets the banks in the several localities. “It will bo in my power to ‘cast an anchor to windward’ in your behalf if you desire it.” “I feel that I shall not prove a deadhead in tliis enterprise.” “I sec various channels in which I can bo usoflil,” etc.—[James G.

(OntmMcdfnm but wot.) How Watch Cases are Hath. The many greet improvements intro duoed in the manufacture of the Jas. Boaa’ Gold Watch Case, have led to similar improvements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, opeh part of a silver case was made of several pieces off metal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather then the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone ffilver Watch Case is —«Ay of one nolid piece of metal hammered Ink' ehape. The advantages are readily apparent, for every one knows that hammmirt,haniens tho motal while soldering softens it. To test tho superiority of the Kcyatomi Silver Watch Case, take one of Soa. weight, press it squarely in the cooler wheo chced, end it will not give, while a ease of am weight of any other make will give enough to break the crystal. Tho Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only \ and gold joints.
