Senatorial Convention. The Democracy cf the Senatorial district composed of Pike and Kuox counties, will, meet lit delegate convention at PetcrsbVfi'g, on Saturday, August 7, 1886, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Senator for said district.

And an exchange trutkfOH* s*$4z “The Pocket” is the boss for wheat, corn, coal, hard lumber, tobacco, watermelons, pretty girls, liandeomc men, and everything that Is worth living for. Tub News “dispenses with Lewis Loveless” oue week, and then attacks him the next. 3Sr. Loveless can not be belittled by the News. Abusing him and praising Bethel 1 may be ftni for that paper, biit Mr. Loveless’ friends know him to have been a Republican for30’years (except voting for Hancock), while Bcthcll has been a Republican a few months. Oca Republican' friends (says the ludianapolis Sentinel) have been hoping that the business depression would cause a popular reaction against the Democratic party, and this is the only hope they have had. But the last hope is going. Business Is rapidly regaining its elasticity, and the tendency is steadily upward and onward. It requires time to undo the the evil effects of Republican rule, but Democratic honesty is telling. _ « “Wo are in fiver of «, duty on all articles that can not'be produced In this country aa cheap aa they can be pi'oduoed in auy other country."—Press. The above is Democracy, from a Sbpoblienn -paper. Now, “the necessary reduction in taxation can be affected without depriving American labor of the ability to compete successfully with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will be ample to any focreascil cost of prodnemay exi st in consequence of tho higher rate of wages prevailing tn tbisooi»tvy>” But the Republican •idea of protection is iafavbr of a high tariff that really amounts to subsidies, to those “protteted* above quoi ation< from the of this* has tlie ug about it, and is rer that advocates

Be* Harrison, Dear Sir: Did yon not say the Nationals were idiot* and ought to l>e in the insane nsyftnu? Do you expect the Nationals in the county to support the Republican candidate Tor Representative, who would, if elected, vote to return you to the t'uited States Senate?—Democrat. W. P. Knight, Dear SirDid you ever made a proposition to the Nationals of Pike county to edit a paper for them ?—News. Did we ever “made” a proposition. No, we never did. Ten years ago the National CcutraJ Committee, and James Dillon, Capt. Townsend and sovcral other leading Nationals of this conntv, made us a proposition to publish a paper for them (do the mechanical work) they to furnish an editor. We did not except their proposition. Next. The Democrat is mistaken about Jeff Abbott writing the communication which appeared in the Press two weeks ago signed “A Democrat.” The article was not written by Jeff Abbott, but by a Democrat who does not live in Jefferson township. Every word of the article was written in our presence, and we know whereof we sposde.— Press. Notwithstanding the above attempt at denial on the part of the Press, we still assert that lire communication referred to was written or dictated by Mr. Abbott. The “ear marks” are too plain. Mr. Gladish or some other person may have been bis amanuensis, but Abbott is the author, and we defy Mr. Gladish to give the name of any other Democrat as the father of the article.

The Press theorizes on the wool question, and is of the opinion that a duty on wool would make it worth from thirty to fifty cents per pound, lie thinks that if foreigu wool was kept out of this country entirely our wool would go up in price. It is not foreign competition that makes our wool so low, but home competition. Why, in Texas wool growers put their sheep on land not worth more than $2.50 per acre, while iu the North our people place their sheep on land worth fifteen to thirty times as much as that in Texas. And, again, a few men can attend to thousands of sheep in Texas as well as a dozeu could be cared for in Northern States. There is no use disputing the fact that Texas outstrides us when it comes to wool growing. There are cheap lands, and men who make this busiues a specialty, can sell their wools cheaper than our farmers in the North, who pay more attention to other branches of farming. Say that the tariff was restored on wool, to prevent foreign competition. How would it help our home sheep growers who arc unable to compete with home producers? Here is the situation in a nut-shell. We liave never presented a bill to the Commissioners but what every cent of the claim was legitimate anil correct,--Press. If any one believes the above statement and will go with us to the Auditor’s office we will convince them in a few minutes that it is an “infamous lie.” J. AY*. Gladish, editor of the Press, held up his hand and swore that the delinquent list published by him iu 1883, contained four hundred and eighty-one descriptions, aud presented his bill and was allowed by the Commissioners and paid $96.20, which was twenty cents a description (the full amount allowed by law) for !the number claimed. This was: a clear steal of $23.40, as the list only contained threefbnudred aud sixty-four descriptions. AVe select this- case because it is such a palpable steal and so plain that any ten year-old school boy can prove it. There arc no rules for measuring type required, or anything else that- he can use to mislead the people. All that is necessary is to count the descriptions and compare the number actually found with the number he swore the list contained. YVe have^n .eopv of the Press in ou r otfice containing this delinqneut list, and invito auy of Mr. Gladish’s friends to come up and investigate [ the matter, and see if ho didn’t lie when he swore to the number of descriptions in the list as well as when he penued the paragraph at the head of this article.

The Democrat has been preaching economy In the administration of county affairs for many years but when an attempt Is made to carry out this policy by the Democratic Commissioners It denounces them In the strongest terms This plainly shows that the Democrat did not mean what it said; that it onto advocated economy todccelvc the people andjsccure the election of Its candidates In order to gull the tax-powers. It has laid bare Its own deception and tte tax-payers ean now sec the object of Its pretehded reform We arc informed that the editor of tho Democrat will require a pledge of the present Democratic candidates that If elected they will stand by him. In the light of recent events the people can Judge what this means.—Dress. The Democrat is an advocate of economy, but not the kind recently practiced by our Democratic Commissioners. It is opposed to Toting subsidies to a political enemy, mid then witholding from political friends what is justly atid legally duo them in order to cover the amount back into tho treasury. It is opposed to the economy (?) of paying the editor of the Press from $i<)0 to $130 every year for printing that the Democrat offered to do for half that sum. We have never thought of requiring a pledge from the Democratic candidates. We believe they are Democrats, and when elected will give their official patronage to Democrats, just as we are certain that the Republican candidates will bestow their patronage on Republicans should they be elected. If we had thought otherwise, we would not require any pledge, but would have used our bc6t endeavors to defeat all such Democrat^?) in the convention. “The Evansville Journal and G. W. Hill, ol Princeton, have got ton up a mutural admiration society ibr eaoh other’s benefit.”—Petersburg News. Nobody has ewer associated"with the News in a mutual admirationsoeiety except its editor and proprietor. George Hill Is- safe f ont this peril withoutan accident ticket.—Evaasville Journal.

Thk Democrat or last week says that Jeff Abbott said that be allowed our claim without knowing what It was for, and that if he had inspected it he would have refused it. We do not believe that Mr.' Abbott over made such a statement. One thiug we do know. We have uever presented a bill to th.* Commissioners but what every cent ot the claim was legitimate and correct. Charges of the above character were tnaliciouslv conterred against us once before and an investigation had, the result of which was that the Democratic board found on the evidence of one of the editors of the Democrat that we had not charged as much as the law allowed. The same can^ not be truthfully said of the editor of the Democrat. Many times his bills have been cut and often he has beeu allowed more than the law stipulates. He has had several rackets with the present sheriff because that official insisted on only collecting for him on sales just what the law allows. We are willing that onr charges for county prin ting shall be rigidly inspected at all times. We believe that the Democrat manufactured this infamous lie to divert public attention from his own boodle charges and demands. Sail in, William Pewee Knight, we will be there in the morning when you have left the ! field in the darkest hour of the night before.

—Press. Wo will not dodge, as the editor of the Press does the questions we put to him, but will try and answer tire above in detail: Mr. Abbott told ns in the presence of one of the other members-of the board that they did not inspect Mr. Gladisli’s bill before they allowed it, aud that if they had done so they would not have allowed the bill. Mr. Abbott will not deny this. In reply to the assertion that you “never presented a bill to the commissioners but what every cent of the claim was legitimate and correct,” we will publish a paragraph takeu from aud article published in the Democrat March 30,1883: “The Legislature of 1881-2 passed a law allowing to the printer twenty cents for each description of real estate advertised for sale for delinquent taxes. * * Now let us compare Bro. Gladish’s charges for publishing the delinquent list with the law. lie charged and received the »tim of $iHJ.20 (see Commissioners record, March term, 1883). Counting twenty ceuts'for'eacli description, would give ft-ur hundred and eight.v-one descriptions Taking the Press of Feb. 23, 1883, and carefully counting the descriptions of laud in tbe delinquent list, we find only three hundred and sixty-four descriptions, which at twenty cents for each would only give $72.80, making an overcharge of $23.40, which Mr. G should pay back into the county treasury. MrGladlish's account will be found among the files of the March term, 1883, of Commissioners’ court, and when you find it you will also find that he lifted up his hand and swore to high Heaven that it was correct. But by taking the Press containing thelist you will find that he was mistaken, aud that his mistake was a net gain to him of just $23.40. If Mr. G. is an honest man, and we hope he is, he will correct this mistake (?) and refund the money ” Yen have not vet refunded that money. As to charges “conferred” against you for presenting an illegal bill, and “upon tlicevidence, of one of the editorsof the Democrat it was found that yon had not charged as much as the law allowed,” was not that a bill of $109.00 presented bjj you for publishing the June reports, the same kind of reports that you charge us with making a boodle demand when we offer to publish them for less than half the amount you received? As to our bills being cut, we are willing to compare the record with you, notwithstanding the fact that you have adhered to the little, cunning and deceptive practice of presenting your bills for advertising that was published in one or both of the other papers at a few bents less Ilian legal rates, in order to make a favorable comparison to yourself, aud then make up the amount by charging an exhorbitant price for advertisements published in your paper ouly, as you did in the case of the delinquent list

above noted “lie has had several rackets with the present sheriff because that official insisted on only collecting for hiqi on sales just what tho fow'allows.” This is another lie that you have stolen from the News. Mr. Shrode will confirm our statement, when we say that we uever asked him to do anything more than to use the same measure in measuring the sales published in the Democrat, that his Republican predecessors, Messrs. Crow and Breuton, used in measuring sales published in tho Press, and the same measure used by all other Sheriffs of Pike county for the pastfifteon years. As to our “boodle charges and demands,” we repeat, that they consist in our insisting that the Democratic board ,pf commissioners should give us tho priuting that they coutrol, at one half the amount they had beep paying you for the past several years. We are an old soldier, and served four years on tho “tented field” and was never known to desert our post “iu the darkest hour of the night,” and will try aud be with you at early dawn, with our “carbine” in good order.. Some of our exchanges are in error in dividing tho Pike county delegation, at tho Boonville convention, between Hon G. Yt Meuzies and J Ion. J. E. McCullough. Pike’s number of delegates were 19. One was absent (a McCullough delegate). Twelve present were for McCullough and six for Mcnzics. In a spirit of fairness, the vote of the delegate not present was divided between’the two gentlemen, and tho vote resulted as follows on a vote for permanent organization: 12% for a McCullough motion and 6% against, wiiicli showed that 12% of the delegation was for McCullough aud 6% lor Major Mcnzics. The Bose Hill Nursery, At Scotland, Greene Co., Ind., has agents taking orders for trees and plants in this county now. 11. C. Bennett, the owner, sells his stock very low and replaccs,/ree of chyme, all that die the first year, llis order books show that he, positively replaces free of charge for one yearHis immense sales each year are ample proof that his treos are first-class and deliveredin good condition. You luay expect* his agents to call each year because this nursery has come' to stay.

POLITICAL PICK-UPS. Joseph Lu Bowman Will be the next Coroner of Pike county. Remember the Senatorial convention at this place on August 7th. The Republican State convention will be held September 2d, in Indianapolis. Our people Who want a careful and conreefeutimis legislator, will vote for Levi Thompson. Hon. Lerov Calvert, of Vanderburg county, is the Prohibition nominee for Congress in thio district Prof. A. M. Sweeney, of Dubois county, is enjoying a boom for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Sheriff Shrode and Treasurer Poetker have made efficient and honest officials. The people will re-elect them. Republican Congressional Convention at Evansville, to-day. A Republican says there may be fifty candidates.

The Central Committee meeting at Petersburg, on Saturday, August 7th, should be well attended. Let every member be present. Jonah Morton is an old surveyor. He is the man for the place, and will succeed Frank Bilderback, whose deputy he has been. John IT. McCarty is a young man of strict integrity, popular with the people, well qualified for Clerk, and will make au efficient officer. The Republicans in this State are “split’" on the liquor question. They are at a lossdo know how to frame a State platform to “catch all the different elements.” Samuel Amos and Gerard Overbeck will be chosen Commissioners by good majorities. They coine from reliable Democratic townships and will receive a large vote. Albert E. Edwards, a consistent Democrat, a man of the people, active, energetic, and qualified, is the man for Auditor. He has no occasion to change his politics every two years for an office. The Republicans of this Judicial district talk of running Thos. II. Dillon, formerly of this place, but now of Jasper, against Hon. J. L. Brctz for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr. Bretz will have a walk over. Geo. W. Curtis, cx-cliairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee at Evansville to day. The commitec will probably meet and hear what the ex-chairman has to 4v. The Democratic ticket has no “fusion” about it. The nomiuces are true and liberal representatives of the Democratic party—the majority party in this county—and as the ticket is composed of active, honorable, and competent men it is'deserving of election, and will be as sure of success as the coming of a November day. STATE CONVENTION. The Democratic State convention will be held at Indianapolis, ou Wednesday, August 11th, to nominate candidates to be supported for the following offices: Secretary of State, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, Judge of the Supreme Court for the 3d district, Clerk of the Supreme Court; Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, aud such other matters as may come before the convention. Pike’s list of delegates will be found elsewhere in this column. The total number of delegates in the convention will be 1,231. The delegates from each Congressional District will meet on the evening prior to the convention, at places to bo hereafter announced by the committee, for the purpose of selecting and reporting to the convention: One committeeman on permanent organization, one committeeman on credentials, one committeeman ou platform and resolutions, one vice president of the convention, one assistant secretary of the convention, one member of the State Centrai Committee to serve for the ensuing two years.* PIKE COUNTY’S DELEGATES TO STATE AND SENATORIAL CONVENTIONS.

Pointed Press Comment. rOSEY COUNTY. [Mt, Vernon Democrat ] The Democrat will support every man on the ticket. Wo would like to see harmony in the ranks—and it is the duty of every true Democrat to work to that eud. Disorgauisers should not be countenanced. We aro “Democratic at all times and under all circumstances,” and nover disregard the will of the majority. We do not believe this county can be delivered into the hands of the euemy—the Republican party. Posey county has always stood nobly for the principles of Democracy, and she will not falter now. Remember, the Democratic party has just come into possession of the reins of Government—and wo should not lose tiro fruits of our grand victory hv quarreling over the spoils. Time wiil make all things right. Wo have great faith in the Democrats of old Posey. [New Harmony Register.] Fosey conty should not begiu kicking at this late day. Onr champion Democratic record mast not be broken by a black mark at onr time of life. We venture the prediction that Mfenzies will not only call a halt on his bolting supporters, but will also take tile stump fl>r his- successful opponent.
