Only thirteen nominations out of 2,100 sent by the President to the Senate have been rejected. It is reported that the leading eorngrowing States have now on hand 781,000,000 bushels of corn, against 700,Q00,000 bushels last year.

The New York Sun says: “There is no conspicuous Republican whom iu 1S88 the Democracy can so advantageously defeat as James G. Blaine.” Aud probably none so willing to stand the test. j_ A Rkpvblhjajj convention, sat down on a good soldier for Governor * of Maine, just recently, and nominated a wealthy merchant. The late Republican convention in Daviess did the same thing for Representative. The Press has begun thus early iu the campaign to bolster up the fusion ticket; ,A hard task* Republicans are in doubt about the feasibility of the fusion, and Nationals cast a wistful eye at their Republican associates, . as much as to say; “You gay deceivers !” •When capital and labor learn to “give and takethat there are rights on both sides that must not be infringed ; that there a re rights that must be conceded as well as rights to be claimed—when this is wpll aud intelligently understood on both shies, there will be little difficulty between capital and labor. I Dana, of the New York1 Sun, goes to work at 'l l o’clock, says an exchange, dictates his editorials to a stenographer, unite at 4 o’clock and gets $20,000 a year. The country editor goes to work at 7 o’clock, has his editorials dictated to him by his subscribers, quits at 6 o’clock and gets in debt. This is the difference. * SecriJL^ky Thomas A. Robertson, of the congressional Campaign Committee, says, “such a tight will be made by the committee as will bring otit the Democratic strength. Au early and aggressive light will be waged all along the Hue, and one winch, under existing conditions, must necessarily insure the Democracy success.” j

Harper’s Weekly and other Mugwump journals labor to prove that President Cleveland is a noneity, and declare that that is the reason they admire him. Tim New York Herald admirably describes the course of Harper’s Weel ly wlieir it says: ‘‘The truth is, our Mugwump contemporary has drawn a portrait of poor Hayes and labeled it ‘President Cleveland.’ For an illustrated journal that is very bad.” Wc are glad to learn that the second year of Cleveland’s administration is going t«> end with pretty much all the officos filled ^vith Democrats* “I got a hint the other day,” said a Democratic member of the House, ‘•that there is to be a very largo number of changes in offices after the session of congress cuds. I thiuk there is to be some very lively work In that „ Hue whun this department officials have time to gist to work iu this line.’ The real lesson of the situation in the Indianapolis Cougrcssloual district, says the Vinceunes News, is that Sim Coy t^ud his followers were mad about the; spoils aud they bolted f to rovouge themselves. We beg lcavo to differ from our esteemed contemporary. It is iu orror about tho real cause of the split in the Seventh district, resulting in two Democratic candidates. In the first place Sim Coy was working fijr Bynum red-hot* and fbr reasons entirely disconnected with disappointment over the spoils, ho flopped just Irnforc tho oonvout^pn, and became anti-Bynum. It is ti ro of all the other prominent leaders of that bolt—Korn, English, Frenzcl et. *1,—that they wore pot disappointed place hunters. But tho real cause of their animosity was this: They were raviug for leadership, and proposed to sacrifice at whatever cost any man who had been placed in public position by the people and had refused to dictations. Such lea- , found in county and pity;

Are We to Have Blaine Again! That the Republican machine is for Blaine is evident. While the better element in the party is opposed to his nomination, Blaine, is still in the ring; and his selection as the Republican standard-bearer in the campaign of 1888 is a possibility. Thai the Republicans are demoralized ; and aro fully aware that the country has not gone to the dent nil ion bow-wows with a Democratic administration, is shown by the following from the New York Post: “The evening Post is able to give an interesting glimpse of the true condition of the Republican party today in these frank remarks of a leading Republican politician, now as for many years past an influential member of the Republican State Committee in his State, in reply to a question as to the situation aud outlook: “Tilings look pretty discouraging to me. if the election were to take place over again to-morrow, Blaine would bo beaten worse than ho was before. Many men who voted for him in 1884, because they dreaded the cfTect of a Democratic victory, would vote for Cleveland now, since they have found that the country isn’t ruined and that Cleveland is making a good President. On the other hand, wei havou’t gained any voters. The] trouble is that the party doesn’t seem to represent anything any more. Take the Republican Seuatc, and what has it done beyond passing some absurd bills, like Mr. Blair’s educational and pendon schemes, which the country hopes the Democratic House will kill! Yes, they did have a “great debate” over the issue with the President, but they gave away their own ease before they got through with it, aud everybody has forgotten all about it before this. Take tho chief Republican organ, the New York Tribune, and what is there iuit exeept an occasional bloody-shirt, howl—which everybody is tired to death of? “How about 1888? Well, everything seems to be drifting toward Blaine's re-nomination. The men who ‘run* caucuses and elect delegates are for him, the candidate again. Besides, wo dou’t seem to have any real leaders iu the party for the men who believe in something, and especially for the yonng mou of convictions, to rally around. The Machiue is for Blaine, aud unless the other sort of Republicans can unite on somebody elso who represents some positive principle—of which lam sorry to say. I see no prospect—Blaine will win by sheer force of inertia}. • It is not a pleasant prospect for a man like me, who, although he has always admired Biaiue personally, does not want to see the party ruined for! any man.”

Democracy Will Triumph. Our Republican contemporaries, the Press aud News, may be able to deceive strangers to the situation about the reception of the Democratic ticket in this county, but their statements will not mislead the Democrats of Pike county who are universally pleased with the ticket, aud will give it their earnest support. Our people arc united. They are confident of beating the coalition. The fusion was a sign of weakness of the Republicans; aud Nationals aud Republicans think they are not bound to support this ticket, which was formed to secure control of offices at the sacrifice of party principle and party organization. Republicans know this. Natiouals know it, too. There is no party tie that binds the Republican or the National to support this ticket, arranged by a few leaders of both parties. The Republican party and the National party widely differ in views. There eau be no harmouy between them. The support of this ticket by somo Republicans and Nationals will be given under protest. They objected to the coalition, and only give the ticket a pacific support, if any at all. In contrast to this, the Democrats presont an unbroken front, and, with a hearty will, enter this contest to win, with a straight-out Democratic ticket, composed of men, agaiust whom aught can not be said. They are honest, able, conscientious, true Democrats and true citizons. The cause of Democracy is mighty aud will prevail against an unnatural coalitiou formed for selfish and ignoble purposes._

Of Interest to Old Soldiers. Acting Second Controller McMahon has rendered a decision to the effect that every volunteer soldier who was mustered out and discharged with a regiment or other organization, the members of which wore kept together and under discipline, and did not receive their discharge uutil they were paid otT, should bo regarded as continuing iu service until the day of payment, aud should be credited with pay and clothing allowance to include that day; aud if such soldier served for a period of two years, ho is by reason of the provisions of the joint resolution of July II, 1S&8, entitled to $100 bouifty under the act of July 22,1861, and to $30 bounty under act of July 21,1866. Pollard Frauds in Jackson County. A special from Seymour, Ind., says that*‘Frank E. Gavin, of the law firm of Miller & Gavin, Groensburg, this State, arrived in that city recently to look after the interests©!'a client who had purchased some three hundred dollars’ worth of Jackson township bonds through tho Pollard agency. Trustee Crabb has notifiod Mr. Garvin that ho will not pay one cent of tlie«o bonds, and that if he has any legal redress to have recourse to that at once. Trustee Crabb says ho has no idea but that there are several thousand dollars in bonds against this township still out.” The Next Louisville Exposition. For three years past, commencing with 1883, the exhibitions held at Louisville, Ky., have boon brilliantly successful, alike in the attendance, and to tl*e variety and excellence of their display of works of arts, industry ami agriculture- This year the exhibition opens Aug. 28 and closes Oct. 23, and its managers propose to make tho show contribute materially to the attractions which Louisville always presents to visitors at that sca»on- ,

What Shadows They Pome and What Shadows Pursue Them. The Press ani its party are to make the county debt question au issue iu this campaign. Knowing that-the record of the Democratic party in this county, as well as our ticket, was iuvulnerablc, unassailable and unimpeachable, incapable of injury by the attacks of the Republicans, they conceived a scheme, they thought to be as deceptive as it was cunning. It was “the work of t heir rtiaslcr minds,’' but will deeeivo.no one. The Republicans well know they are responsible for tho large countydebt, which was over $40,(00, when tho present Board of Commissioners assumed charge of aflairs. But, thought these pseudo-reform-ers, as they chuckled at tho iugeuuity of their scheme, and laughed when they thought how it would ‘>paraly*e” our party: “We will try to ‘saddle’ tho debt we contracted, and were responsible for, upon the Democrats,” said the Republican schemers. They thought the people had short memories, but they have not, and will not be deceived by tho attitude of the Republicans on the county debt question. The people say: The rcsponsibility is with the Republicans; they increased our debt, and must bear the blame. But the Republicans flee fi-om their own shadow, and as they are pursued “by the shadow of their own making,” they cry out: Thou must not say wo did it! Comment on Onr Convention. "George B. Ashby, who was a candidate for Representative, well understands tho tactics of the News, and is equally as well aware that the .article iu reference to him in last week’s paper was full of falsehoods. What we said of Mr. Ashby was this: “George received a good vote, and as he is young aud active he has excellent promises lor tho future.” This appeared in our convention report, but tho Nows misquoted it for a purpose. It was not fulsome praise of Mr. Ashby, but was merited.

no man was nominated or no man defeated in that convention because he , was a young man, as the News would make believe. There were four strong candidates for Representative, while there were but two balloted foi*j for Clerk, and Mr. Smith had announced his candidacy but about a week before the convention. Hence the race for Representative was the most warmly contested. So in one case one young man was successful and another was not, after a freo, fair aud open contest. The efforts of the two Rcpublicau papers hero to make it appear that there is dissatisfaction over the result of the county convention, may be set down as ouc of thc'first ‘ campaign lies” of the year. All Democrats are perfectly satisfied with the result. The candidates are satisfied, too,'that they had a fair cliauce, iu a contest to the finish, and the men who received the most votes were fairly the nominees of the party. No “slate,” “cut-and-dricd” methods existed, as was the ease with the Re-publican-National “conventions.” POLITICAL PICK-UPS. Congressman Holman wasre-uomi-uated by a good majority iu the Fourth District. It is hinted that Mariou township Nationals will not support a deset'ter from their ranks. The Boonville Enquirer truthfully says: “Democrats should not say or do anything in the Congressional contost that they might be sorry for after the nomination is made.” Daniel Davis says Lockhart township will show up in fine shape at the comiug election, and so it seems victory is certain, for good reports come from all parts of the county.

“.Look cheerful, gentlemen, isahl the photographer, “if you waut a good picture.” “Cheerful! Great Ctesarl llow can Republicans look cheerful when they l'cel that the coalition is a failure.” The Republicans of Columbia township, Gibson county, have met in convention and placed the name of James M. Cockrum off the list for County Clerk, and his uamo will be submitted to the county convention, only to be sot down ou by the ring-leaders at Princeton, we predict. Congressman Kleiner’s “arduous labors” consists of distributing 6,000 paper packages of vegetable seed, 500 of flower seed, 300 of tobacco, fifty quarts ol grass, thirty-two of cotton, twenty-eight of sugar-beet, and twenty each of corn and sorghum, among his constituents, to which every Congressman is entitled. This is a great work for Kleiner, but ho may prove equal to the “task.” By the way, what become of Pike county’s quota of seeds? "We have not heard ot any being received here. Hid Mr. Kleiner “farm ’em out ?” There is nothiug new in the Congressional race. The situation remains the same as it was ouo week ago. Major Monzies left here last Thursday, and ssemed well pleased with his reception in this county and satisfied that his cauvass of Pike, would not prove unavailing. My. McCullough was in town Thursday and Friday last, and is in the county again this week. lie is sanguine of sncpess, and feels that his nomination is assured by a good mujority. ____________ P’s Porridge.

INTERESTING READING. Hm. Ltwb Loveless Pays His Bespeetetothe News.-A Plea for Fair Treataseal for Higgins. Editors Democrat Tho following was handed to the editor of the Press, but he refused to publish it, for fear, no doubt, it would injure Mr. Carr's cliauces of election. Hoping that you will gire it a place in your columns, I send it to you. Editor or Press :—The young gentleman that edits the News has seen fit to pass some reflections on me which are very unjust. I might pass his insinuations without notice were it not for the insinuations throwcd out against Mr. Higgins, who was a candidate belore the Republican convention. The News 6avs that Higgins was fairly beateu. This I deny and I am able to show that he was not fairly beaten, but I do not desire to enter into controversy about it. I have no harm to say of tho young man nominated and I cannot be provoked to say harm of him. It is not the young gentlcmau I object to, but the method of lii6 nomination. As to Mr. Higgins, he has been a Republican six years and oue would suppose that was a good long probation, the editor of the News to the contrary notwithstanding. IIow long has the editor of tho News been workiug in the harness ? How long has he been advocating the election ofGoodlot Morgan aud Doctor William Bethel! ? Did his paper support the Republican candidates two years ago? Read the columns of the News of that date aud you will find column after columu devoted to the abuse of Republican officials. While Harrell, week after week was attacking the Republican candidates the writer Of this was doing all lip could to parry his blows. It has been but a short time since the editor of tho Nows was throwing slurs at Morgan and Bothell, but we have not learned that he hurt them any. By the way what has caused the groat

uiuuigu iq dqiuc over nun. vne ween lie is affirming that Bothell caunot be elected that he will bo defeated by two hundred majority, the next lauding him to the skies and declaring he will be cleoted by a rousing majority. Ouc week opposing coalition the uext week favoring it. But he is a new convert to Morgan aud Bothell and I hope ho will hold out faithful to these men. But one caunot always understand “The burning seat. That Ja the heart, young converts feel.” I will say to the editor of the News that I was a Republican lighting the battles of the party, standing shoulder to shoulder with his father in defense of the cause when it was unpopular to be a Republican. I am with my old party to stay aud all the little cross road politicians and editors cannot drive me odt. r How long has it been since Harrell complained that while he edited the Press that certain men wrote what they pleased and he took the responsibility of the articles and that brought Him into trouble? Wonder if some one is running the same game qu him now ? The editor may yet learn that it is better to not alienate an old friend for a new one. Lewis Loveless. “Snyder, Don’t You Want to Buy s Dog.” Miss Lulu Morgan, of Roekport, sued Thomas J. Snyder, a well-known attorney and wealthy citizen of the same plaee, for $40,000 damages and the support of her child. Mr. Snyder nas heretofore born an irreproachable character, and “nobody would have even thought it” of him. llis alleged intrigues with Miss Morgan occurred while he was a widower, and his receut marriage to another woman has provoked the exposure, to which is attached an unusual amount of scandal. Miss Morgan was the vouugest

daughter of a highly respected bid citizen of Rockport, long siuco dead, and has n>any friends and relatives still living in this vicinity. Until recently she was a teacher in the public schools of Warrick and Spencer couuties, aud was a regular attendant at the Teachers’ Institute a^Boonville.” The above is clipped from the Boonville Enquirer, and many items regarding the suit have bceu going the rounds of the press. It has been stated that Mr. Snyder ha6 a letter in his possession writttn to him by Miss Morgan, in which she says she would rather marry a yellow dog than him (Snyder.) The case is creating a sensation. My Six Tear Old Daughter. Dr. C. D.
