It is not right for a candidate for the judgeship to mix so much whisky In the politics of an out township.

Six months in the State, sixty days in the t township, and thirty days iu the voting precinct entitles you to vote at the coming election. Our coal fields in the County and State are of estimable value. Indiana has 306 m ines, producing about 2,300,000 ton of coal annually. Everybody is invited to the grand rally Saturday at the fair grounds—Republicans, Nationals, St. Johns, Lockswoods, as well as Democrats. Vote to stop the pay of a 30 per day expert who Is doing nothing far receiving the connty’s money. Scratch the Republican commissioners—that will stop it. First-class depots are being built at a number of stations on the Straight-line. The foundation has been laid for the depot at Oakland, and the good work oontinues. We shall soon arrive at the season for '‘poems” on the beautiful snow. Our waste basket has been emptied of ‘‘fall sunsets” and is now ready for the winter campaign. Col. Taylor’s election (to the office of Representative) is assured. All the United States Marshals in Indiana could not elect Green McDonald.—[Washington Jacksonian. “Everything goes” during election times, and at our present rapid paee, we shall not be surprised at anything, no matter how improbable it may seem, that may occur during the election years. Two prominent business men here have made a bet on the result of the election, and the loser is to ride the winner along Main street in a wheel-barrow. It is the old way but amuaiug to some people. Vote to stop the pay of a 39 per day expert who is doing nothing far receiving the county’s money. Scratch the Ropubliean commissioners—that will stop It. The Vincennes Sun apd News report the Blaine demonstration at that place on Tuesday as an exceedingly tame affair.

Get ready to paint the town next Saturday, put out the red white and blue. Hoag your banners on the outer walls and hang your latoh-itrlng outside your door. Welcome all who oome to our town on Saturday to the grand Democratic rally. A fine constitution may be broken and ruined by simple neglect.* Many bodily ills result Cron, habitual constipation. There is no medicine equal to Ayer’s Pills to correct this evil, and restore the system to natural, regular, and healthy action. The Washington Advertiser, Mr. Alex Chomel’s weekly paper came out Friday. It is (till of fire, and has for its motto. Democracy is a sentiment not to he appealed, corrupted or compromised/* We wish Bro. Chotnel success in bin ventures at cur neighboringeity. Leap year Is nearing the end, and the rights of the fair sex to manage the matrimonial canvass will cease to exist after a few weeks—till another four years is reached. How many “oonrerte” have been made by this privilege! It should not occur on Presidential years, however, as it becomes “aside issue” during the heated canvass incident to Presidential campaigns. But then the glee clubs give girls and boys a good chance to make the connubial matter the main issue of the campaign.

The Democrat offioc hatiboen removed to the new Montgomery building opposite our old quarters. We are i rmly settled in our new room and we invite all to call* They will And the* latch string on the outside. Gibson county received the banner prise on agricultural products at the Louisville Exposition. Southern Indiana counties were well represented, and the placing of our products before the people through this grand exhibition just closed will be productive of great good. Hen. “Billy” Williams, who spoke here on tie 18th lust., draws a salary of $10,000 per year ftom the government as a minister toUniguay. Of course his pay goes nn just the tame, whether he is at his poster not. Mr. Williams on a salary of nearly $1,000 per month, Is a “fine one” to talk to the laboring man. The purity of the ballot box, guarded by a lot of ragged ruffians and desperadoes armed with revolver^, is a proceeding that satan, the inoarnite fiend, would uot perpetrate. Hon.. J. W. Ogdon, of Washington, saw some of the exciting scenes in Cincinnati, and iris description of them is as bad as the newspaper reports. In tbs discussion of county affaire, as well as all other matters pertaining thereto, the Press finds it bard to tell the truth. We are reminded of the following story: A farmer said to a noted prevaricator: “Tell mo the biggest lie you over told, and I’ll give you a mug of cider.” “I never told a lie*” was, the response. “Draw the older,” said the farmer. Joe Barnett, the young man who shot his brotlker-in-law, Wm. R. Johnson, at Moaroe City, a few weeks ago, w*aa captured last week at Shawneetown, 111., and taken to Vincennes, where he was lodged in Jail. He was to be released on bail, and is no doubt ere this breathing the free air again by the permission of his bondsmen, Johnson has irecovered from the effects 6f wound. If all who make pumpkin pies, knew how much better and easier R is to bake the pumpkin first, they would bo longer worry, over cutting up and peeling It, but just cut it up in halves, take out the seeds, lay It in the oven and bake until soft, when It can be 6<:raped out affid used as usual, and is so much better tor not havi ng water In it. Winter squash makes a much richer pie whoa treated iu this way. Mir. John Grinton is in town for the pur|K>se of organizing a class In Stenographic Phonography. Us guarantees to his pupils that they shall read, write and understand short-hand in ten days or no pay will be demanded, provided that the pupil will give two hours daily to the study of the same. Ladies will be given lessons at their homes, genl lemon at their place of business without extra charge, or be cam be seen at the residence of Mr. W.P. Knight. While the Republican party claims to be the “soldier's party,” although Democracy has done more to pension them in one year than the Republican party has done in its life-time—just take a glance at our county ticket. There you will find the names of four ex-soldiers. On the State tioket there are five soldiers, besides (general Manson the hero of two wars, the gallant Colonel Gray heading the list. One-half of the couuty ticket and two-thirds of the State ticket were Union soldiers. “fair play” in last week’s Press plays sad havoc with Bra. Gladish’s figuring of the county indebtedness. The hired correspondent in explaining the county debt proves nothing more than that how outrageously the Press lied when it placed the indebtedness June 1st, 1884, at less than $30,000. The correspondent employed to get Mr. Gladish out of the deep hole he had fallen into, runs the county indebtedness about $10,000 more than the Press did through its editor. “Out of the mud into the mire”—every step the Republioan organ gets deeper. The fire at Oakland at 11 o’clock on Wednesday morning of last week destroyed $13,000' worth of property with but little iusurauee. We condenoed the following from the Enterprise, regarding the loss, etc.; Geo. A. Verling is the heaviest losier, he having no Insurance on the livery stable and town hall. Loss, nearly $8,000. Mr. Richardson’s loss on blacksmith shop, (where the fire started) above insurance, over, $1,800. The widow Parker’s resideniie and a lot of house-hold furniture was a total loss. Mrs. Parker had just finished paying for her house, and as she had no insurance the loss is serere—it was her all. Tike house of F. W. Bvillivaut, occupied by the Enterprise family, was saved after hard work. The loss by this fire will be seriously felt by Oakland, aside from the personal losses. It is a drawback to the plaoe, but then we shall no doubt see the square burned, soon arise from the ashes.

The demonstration at Evansville Saturday night was enjoyed by about sixty of our Democratic citizens. The crowd in the city w as estimated at 60,000, and Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Gray received a perfect ovation. Tlie Evansville Democracy resolved to beat the Blaine demonstration ami it was done. Every opinion expressed by persons who had seen both processions was that the parade Saturday night far exceeded the parade at the Blaine meeting in numbers and grandeur. The display along the line of march, the long line of gleaming torches carried by thousands of men, and embellished floats, handsomely dressed glee clubs, h undreds of oavalarymen, the fireworks of red, blue and green flies, rockets and Boman candles, all combined, to make the grandest exhibition of the kind seen anywhere during the canvass. 10,000 persons were in line. In comparing the two processions the Courier says: The procession was the longest, most entliueiastio, contained a larger number and more artistically deoorated floats and chariots, filled with the most bsautifUl Indies,' ever seen in a procession of any kind in Evansville. The Blaine demonstration of Wednesday night was no comparison to it, either in numbers, elaborate display or gen. era! makeup of the column, which contained, by actual count, fifty-five hundred all told.

Now, fellow Democrats, for the last charge and victory on November 4. Ant Democrat Having reasonable grounds to believe that a voter offering bis ballot bits been bought, should promptly challenge the voter. Let us give all onr attention to Pike conntv now. Never mind what other counties will do. Our majority in Pike cast be increased. Do it. Work for it. The honest, fair discussion of the tariff by the Democratic speakers throughout the county is proving quite valuable and instructive, ana the farmers will, by their votes, ask for its revision. Will 6ome citizen of Logan township please inform us why A. II. Johnson let out the repair of a bridge to one of his favorites without giving notice of time and place of sale? Was it not because that favorite promised to have all his connection vote for him? It is publicly stated aud believed that Dr. Bethell promised to have the Nationals vote the Republican county ticket if they would nominate George West for Recorder, aud that H. C. Brenton has agreed to assist in “delivering the goods" if ho is allowed to remain in the capacity of Deputv Sheriff. Will sonic good Republican of Patoka township please tell us which one of the candidates on the Republican ticket said last spring when A. Martin was a candidate for the nomination of Trustee, (and it was thought that the colored citizen would vote for him) that “If I could not be elected without the nigger vote I would not be elected at all ?” Who was it that defeated Henry Schafer, of Logan township, last spring for Trustee in the Republican convention? Was it not the same family that promised to vote for him ? Did not the head of that family send for those who were absent from' home to vote against Mr. Schafer in the convention? Was it not said by several leadiug Republicans that it would be a disgrace for tl\e “grind old party” to nominate and elect such a character as Mr. Schafer to the office of Trustee? Was it not said after the convention that lieu. Schafer had uo influence and could, not defeat the nominee ?“ Was it uot said by the “bosses” in Petersburg that his nomination for Sheriff would be a disgrace to the Republican party, and that in order to hold him-to the ticket he must be nominated for some office, ane therefore they nominated him for Coroucr.. Now we qjaim to knopr Mr. Schafer, and can’ say, that in our opinion he has a6 much influence in his township as sruy' one Republican in it, and that his morals will compare favorably with a majority .of the leaders of that party. We know that Lewie Loveless claims that, it was his great influence that elected the Trustee of Logan townshiplast spring. That gentleman has changed his roost since the spring election, and we would be glad to have tested tljc influence of Mr. Loveless as against Henry Schafer.

|*omcroy’s Democrat: An old song goes this way: “For want of a nail a shoe was lost. For want of a shoe a horse was lost. For want of a horse a man was tost. All for the want Of a horseshoe nail.” For lack of just your vote, a _ town may be lost to Democracy, and thus all the earnest, honest work Of your neighbors, aud all your sympathies, may be lost. One shot fired at thfi rigid time has saved many a battle. One Vote has saved many an election. A word or two to your neighbors; an earnestness on your part.; a getting your work and influence and vote in at the right time, and that is every good opportunity, is the proper thing to do. Therefore we urge vigilance and activity. Let no guilty man escape and get into office again. Seek out every man you can influence. Reason kindly with your neighbor who docs not see as you see. Lay up nothiug of the past against any one who will enter into the needed work of reform. Sec the millions or so of honest, intelligent independent Republicans who think more of public decency than of party machinery spotted with corruption, and who are with you laboring to drag the car of reform out of the dirty barnyard in which it is stalled. Let us oach and all do everything in our power to add to the number of those who will vote for Cleveland and Ilondricks as men to administer the better laws wo are to make in the future, and then see each one votes. Let us get ready to give one entire day in November to our oton interests as wealth producers and tax-pavers. ■ Every one of our readers can gain three converts to Democracy this year, if he will. Mark your men. Go to them. Ask them to look at affairs, to tell you wherein the Republican party has been of benefit to the millions who produce wealth, and who, because thoy are such producers, are entitled to first protection. No reform will come to this country till the Republican party is out' of power. There is but one way to get it out. Vote for and with the most poteerfui organization that is giving it battle, and that is the united IndependentRepublican and Democratic clement into which the best and tnost deserving citizens of the couutry are coming for good. Mew Keat Market. Isaac Whittaker has returned to Petersburg and in connection with his brother has opened up a moat market on the corner of Main and Eighth eta., where they will keep fresh meat of all kinds, sausage, etc. constantly on hands. Mr. Whittaker is one of the best butchers that ever carried on the business in this place, and thoy will no doubt receive a liberal share of the public patronage. Csrt •( Thanks. I take this method of returning my sincere thanks to my friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy during the sickness t’of my wfl“o, who died on the 81st instant. * J. p. Kisman.

On the 2d of October the above was copiod from the Press, and the following propositions were then first published and have ever since appeared iu this paper, while the Press lut6 been lying about the county indebtedness. The Republican organ and its hired correspondents can not believe their own statements or they would not let these offers, which were made by responsible gentlemen, go unchallenged for nearly one month: ♦500, that the county indebtedness June 1,1882, was not 140,000. ♦500, that tko county indebtedness June 1,1884, was over $10,000. ♦50Q, that the indebtedness was huger Juno 1,1884, than it was June If any party or parties wish to take the above bets they can be accommodated by calling at this office.
