S. C. ' The Republican candidate for Congress in the 4th district has withdrawn. i ' >t Blaine held Maine in jliuc for his Presidential boomj but it required great eflort. Democrats well! remember how Goodlet Morgan has bulldozed Democrats at the polls. The Princeton Democrat says McCullough will carry Gibson county by a handsotife majority. Fred I’oetker has made a model Treasurer. He wjill be re-elected by an increased majority. Levi Thompson will vote for, a Democrat to succeed Ben. Harrison, who stigmatized the Nationals as idiots. I

The Press ’should attend to the disI affection in its own ranks, caused by the nomination of |a “cut-aud-dried” ticket, Democrats, be otr guard. Tire Republicans are making a still hunt and trying to lull you to sleep. Don’t Oe caught. _j_ The Nationals have heretofore eontended,. for, “principles not men.” If“ coalition triumphs the order is rcversed. _ . Auditor Bet hell’s Republican triends say he is a Republican and his National friends say he is a National, “Oh, how shiftless l'\ sssssasiaBsass! ^ Hon. William Baxter, the author of. the Baxter Liquor Law of 1873, died at his home jin Richmond on Tuesday of last week. The Republican leader, Ben Harrison, called the Nationals idiots. The time has come for Nationals to resent that dastardly insult; Stubblefield tor the Legislature, Harrison for the U. S. Senate, “an asylum, for Greenback idiots.” How does that strike the average National. One of the sixty-tjhreo sons of the Sing of Senegal is visiting Paris. It makes the poor fellow homesick to thluk of hie slxty-two little brothers.

TnE people of Pike county can say to Sheriff Win. J. Shrode: “Well lone, thou good and faithful servant!” imd they will re-elect him by a large luajSiiity.^^K^^^: % Let the disgusted Nationals and Republicans iu this county, who were denied a voice in the council of their self-elected ehieftans, say, upon which side a ring exists. The “Big Four'’—Morgan, Bethel), Wilson and Gladish—fixed the “slate'' for the convention, and the noininations wore made by acclamation. Yes, by “acclamation.” Tue Republican tricksters are putting on a bloated appears nee, under the impression that they have the Nationals in their stomachs. Symptoms of indigestion are beginning to present.

The Press and News says John If. McCarty never voted for a Republican. But he never abused ami vilified Republicans like Morgan has Democrats. Thajl is the difference between Messrs. Morgan and McCarty. Captain Nelson, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was as brave a soldier as ever shouldered a musket. He was badly wouuded ; u two different battles, and is yet able, not only to vote the Democratic ticket, but to lead that party to victory. i — - * The Petersburg “Big Four” are working hard to pull the fusion ticket through, apparently. But let us give a pointer: Two of the ticket are to be pushed forward if it swamps the whole fusion ticket! This is the fight, and now watch if it don’t show itself plainly. The Indianapolis Nows some daysago declared that the civil service law could not be enforced by men who were opposed to it. \V\\y is it not consistent and admit that a Democratic administration can not be successfully administrated by men who 'Sre opposed to it ? Look at the “Big Four”-—Morgan, Bothell, Wilson and Gladish! It is well known they fixed the-“slate,” but a large number of Republicans and Nationals do not propose to permit the “Big Four” to control all nominations, and will refuse to support the tusiou ticket. We are reliably informed that Henry C. Shafer has left the Republican party and joined the ranks of the Prohibitionists. He told Messrs. James and Thomas Richardson that ho had decided on this course. The Richardson boys gave him their hands aud wished him au affectionate farewell.__ A few Republicans inothis place nominated their present county ticket; A few days afterward they had their convention latify the work. Ring, Ring, Ring. j Bing out the old, ring in the new; The Ring of Rings will Ring for you. Who vote the slate your Ring has made, To lay your manhood in the shade. A few weeks ago, the Press and News charged the Democratic candidate for representative with saving that “Campbellites” were neither fit ! for heaven.or hell.” Now that the slanderous dcclaratiou has been proved to be utterly false, will brother Stubblefield stand up and answer whether I ho ever declared that “It takes just three things to ma^e a Campbellite— Ignorance, Impudence and Baptism by Immersiont” The Evansville Journal, Republican,'denies that the liquor plank of the platform means local c>ptiou. The Elkhart Reveiw, Republican, says it declares in favor of local option with a high license attachment. The Kokomo Gazette-Tribune, Republican, says that it declares for local option. Now, will Mr. Gladish please explain what ho thinks the liquor plank means. Wright, does it mean local option and high license, or against local option ? Fkom a political stain’.,mint Goodlet Morgan has always regarded Democrats, and written and spoken of them, as liars, scoundrels, and traitors. He has never written or spoken a good word concerning them. Jlis whole political course has beeu one of prejudice, hatred, malice and abuse. Now that he wants an office be and Ids' friends have the-impudence, the immense cheek, to ask Democrats to vote for him. A Democrat who would vote for him under such circumstances, has no manhood, uo respect for hiigsclf nor for his party.

Goodlet Morgan has found it necessary to make promises, by the wholesale, to men he has owed for years and treated outrageously, in order to secure their support. This is the issue Morgan has made: “Elect me and I promise to pay ybvi” But members of his own party propc«e to show that Morgan's promises .are false, and that he is deceiving the people. In this isste a Republican of Washington township opens the ball, aud show8 that Morgan’s promises are made only to be broken.« Read the card and paste it in your h;tt. The farmers of Iudiana should be jubilant. No state in the Uuion has been blessed with such crops as Indiana. In the west there has been a drouth and the wheat crops are almost a failure. The same is true in the Eastern States. There was a fair wheat crop in the Northern States, but then corn does not promise much. The “oldest inhabitant” bears witness that such luxurious crops were never before given to Indiana, aud already the effects are beginning to be seen in the revival of business. Those who have had'fears that our immense corn crop would be valueless can rest easy, for other states will be lookiug to Indiana for corn this year..

. LABOR’S ALLY. Governor Gray, in his Logansport speech, declared that the Democratic party had been true t® its pledges ( made to the people, and* as showing i to what extent the last Legislature i had gone in its effort to better the i condition of the laboring classes, said: ( The last Democratic Legislature i passed an act repealing the alieu laud , law: It also passed an act prohibiting the importation of foreigners under contract or agreement to perform labor within the State; Also an act prohibiting the employment of children under twelve years of age in certain manufacturing, and in those iu which they are allowed to be employed from keeping them at work more than eight hours per day; An aet providing tin means for securing the health and safety of persons employed in coal mi ties'; An act securing the payment of laboring men and mechanics, and mnkthem first creditors until they are paid in full;

aii hoi reuticing leicpnonc marges and prohibiting discrimination between patrons; An act compelling companies corporations and associations, doiiig business in this State, to pay their employes inont lily; Au act giving laborers and material men engaged in the construction of railroads a lien on the same; _ An act guaranteeing and enforcing civil rights of all persons; An act proving; for the education of pauper children iu all the counties of the State, and An aet providing for the enrollment of ail soldiers of the State; An act to prohibit forced contributions of money or property from employes by corporations or tficir officers. No Republican Legislature ever did anything like as much for laboring men. The reeord stands a pledge that the Democratic party will continue to meet the demands of labor. Ai.nr.KT E. Edwards is a Democrat. He will make a first class Auditor, lie lias not found it necessary to change his politics twice to get an office. The friends of his opponent boast of his (Bothell's) popularity and say that four years ago he was a National, and now he is a liopuplican. We have the statement of Bothell's friends that he has changed his politic!. What do the Nationals think of a man who lias been honored by them, and then deserts them ? And do the Republicans gladly receive him into their ranks and give him support ? If there is a party tie that binds men together in a contest for that party’s principle the .Nationals can not support Bethell. lie deserted them. Republicans ca n have no faith iu the fidelity of a man like this to their party. Does it not strike every voter forcibly that Bethell is anything for office ? The most important office in the county is that of sheriff. Iu his offi eial duties he deals with the person, property and liberty, and sometimes the life of all who have business in the courts. His office effects op r most important and dealest rights,! IIow important then that a man of age, experience, and mature judgment should fill that place. Win. J. Shrode has served the people of this county in that capacity for two years, and Bike county has never had a better [sheriff thau lie has made, lie lias treated Democrats, Republicans and Nationals, rich and poor, high and low, old and young, all alike. No one! could tell from his official course what his politics were. No one has ever found or can find any fault at all with ills official course. He is the kind of a man that the people want for that office. llo should be re-elected,and we believe he will be. The fusion ticket was nominated by acclamation, a Republican contemporary says. Certainly. The’slate” was prepared by the “leaders,” (Morgan, Bothell, Wilson and Gladish) and the convention ratified itj. If a ticket is to be arranged by the!“leaders” (and "everyone knew who had been selected before the con veil-ion) there was not much need of a convention to select the fusion ticket. But there are Republicans and Na tionals who do not propose to submit to the dictation of these leaders—who may be called the “Big Four” like a half dozen Iudianapolis Republican ringsters (the “Slick Six”) who run the machine up there, select their candidates and force them upon a convention. But the people are preparing to set down upon them there, as will be done here, at the polls Democracy will triumph.

Once upon a time an eagle, scaling around a fanner’s barn, and espying a hare, darted down upon him like a sunbeam, seized him in his claxys and remounted with him into the airi The supposed hare proved to be a regular old Thomas cat. The snarling and scrambling of his prey very readily suggested inconvenience, and what was worse—Thomas had disingaged himself from the talons of the eagle, grasped his body with his claws and seized fast hold of his throat with his teeth. ‘Pray,’ said the 'eagle, ‘let go your hold, and I will release you.’ ‘Very fine,’ rejoined Thomas, ‘but you see I have no wings and can not eutertain such a proposition at so great a bight. You took me up, you must let me down.” The careful attention ot the fiepubljeartfring in this county is respectfully invited to the above fable. Two Dollar Bill Dudley. Washington, D. C„ Sept. 5.—Col. W. W. Dudley, formerly of Indiana and commissioner of pensions, now a lobbyist and attorney here, has gone ont to Ills old home to overseethe Republican campaign in the interest of Ben Harrison. His plan is to take advantage of Democratic quarrels and trade off everbodv on the Republican tieket for the benefit of Harrison’s ^ candidates for the legislature. Dudley j is one of the shrewdest and most nnserupnloua political workers in the! country, and though the: Democrats, bout him in ’SS they had hotter keep an eye do him. )

POINT AT WHICH OUH PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAIL. Tlie school year began Monday, the ith inst., after the summer vacation, md fit all the cities of the land the ■ising generation is beginning the iourse of study mapped out for the msuing 38 weeks. The common schools of our land are the bulwark >f the nation’s freedom, for a governnent by the people cannot pcr|>etunte tself unles the majority of the voters —aud the majority rules—is composh! of educated and intelligent men. It is not to this poiut, however, lhat we desire to call the attention of teachers and parents to-day, but to » defect in thoroughness in school work with regard to our mother longue. It is a fact that there is not »ue in ten of even those who take the lull course in our public schools who is-able to spell correctly all the words in common use in spoech and the newspapers—which vocabulary does not contain over onc-fourth of all the wdrds recognised as belonging to the language by the makers of the dictionaries. ' (

\Yv exclude, of eourse, the special terminology of the trades and professions—words applied to tools, parts of manufactured articles, and descriptive of processes and methods—as well as all scientific terms belonging to the sciences and arts. It is expected that the lad who takes up any trade or occupation will learn the special terms connected therewith, their meaning and proper ortliograptv. W'e refer only to the words used in ordinary general conversation, met with in newspapers and magazines, and in ordinary correspondence bv letter. Perhaps no one has a better opportunity to judge of this wide lack of orthographic accuracy than has an editor, receiving letters and eommujiieations from all classes of people. It is simply astonishing to see the absolute ignorance of the correct spelling of common words that is thus exhibited. This is a laek that the schools ought to meet and should by made to meet. English is « ur language, and the importance of a thorough knowledge of it seems to be underrated. Tlie ability to spell should he one „f the crucial tests for progress in school from one grade or class to the next. The bad speller should lie absolutely denied a transfer, no matter how much af a row indignant parents may make. Second, there is an entire lack ol proper instruction in the arts of punctuation and capitalization. There is only the most trivial attention paid to them in our schools. The instruction should go hand in hand witn that in orthography and pet - mauship, and our children, at as early an age as possible, ho rendered capable of expressing their thoughts properly in writing, in distinct, readable penmanship, with eorreet. spelling, capitalization and punctuatiou. Third, and even more important, is the general ignorance of the meaning of words, even common ones. An aetnaUest with any child of 12 to" If will show a most lamentable lack in this respect. Children get into the habit of reading' over words in ignorance of their signification, and as a result tail to grasp the lull meaning of the senteuee in which such words occur. This is clearly the fault of their teachers—hut it is such a common fault that it is universal. The teacher takes refuge in the excuse that ‘‘there is not time to attend to all these things/' But there should he time taken. It is a necessity. A child is far better educated who has an intimate and correct knowledge of his otu language than if he lias a smattering of a halt dozen of the higher branches and is ignorant in this respect. The daily maxim ol‘ the teacher should he, “Not how much, hut how well.” The requirement of absolute knowledge on tlie point herein mentioned would cause scliool work to go very slowly at first; but the pupils would be acquiring a real education much faster than at present, and would speedily be able to quicken their pace. The result would be that the completed year would show better and more thorough work,, and more satisfactory results to pupils, teachers and parents. Let us have more work done in lauguage. Let the despised speller become once more a standard textbook, and the daily drill in verbal exegesis the most important lesson of the day._’

The New Albany Ledger, enc of the best informed newspapers iu the State on the calibre and ability of public men, has tins to say of Gen. Hovey: “Republican newspapers seem to be trying to make a great mnu of General Alvin 1*. Hovey, the Republican nominee for Congress in the First district. They can’t do it. There is not enough material. General Hovey is a good fellow, ne is a gusher. A kind of second edition^ without improvement, of Henry S. Lane. He is a sophomori. cal talker. All his speeches strains the eagle bird. He lets him fly so high that even the pin feathers fall out when he lands. Rend his reports during the war. They were all stump speeches. In that day of uewspaper generals he acquired a reputation that he has managed for all it is worth But in real brain power there is u*. comparison between Hovey and his competitor. McCullough is a man of ideas. He thinks He may not be able to quote a line of poetry but he can reason from cause to effect and when he gets through every intelligent listner in his audience will know more than he did tiefore That is the kind of man to send to Congress, uot parrots though they can cry “Roily wants a cracker” m seven languages.” The Republican State platform dodges all importaut issues. The tariff plauk can be taken as the reader pleases. In the beginning it endorses protection; theu considerably in the direction of tariff for revenue (which the Democratic platform declares for) and finally winds up by denouncing what it calls the free trade plank in the Democratic State platform. The Republican plank contains nothing specific—the recommendations are vague and general. But then it is encouraging, as well as amusing to see the grand old party squirm and twist and try to dodge this tariff question, upon which the Republican platforms heretofore have always taken strong ground. Can the editor ot the Press account for the dodging of this question? Why didn't it nine out sqnarcly for pro-' tection ? That is what the Press says the party favors, # . j

P0LIC1TAL PICK-UPS. Wolfe is one candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania and Beaver is luother. The rest of the menagerie will probably be beard from in time. Hon. J. E. McCullough, Democratic candidate for Congress, spent a few days at the fair. He didn't find a single gap down in his fences in old Warrick. —Boonville Enquirer. If you want to be thoroughly posted during the coming campaign, send $1 for the political text book of 1886. Address Hon. John E. Kenna. 1408 II st 1*661, N. W., Washington, D. C. We recommend that Bro. Blaiueand Bro. Hovey stump this district together on the tariff question. The Republicans would like to know who would get the best of it.—New Harmony Register.

As the Washington Democrat savs: Bruce Carr always occupies a place on the ticket that marches to defeat. A Republican State ticket without Bruce Carr would be like a funeral without a corpse. The Republicans are itt bad luck up in tho Fourth District. Capt, Vanarsdale, nominated a short time ago, refuses to run against Hon. W. S. Holman. Republican votes don't grow on the bushes in that locality. The signs are now that McCullough will cross Big Creek, in this county, with anywhere between 400 and 550 majority. Ilovev and Republicanism are not booming in this part of Posey. Evansville Journal please copy.—Now Harmony Register. If Gen. Ilovev isn’t afraid, why rot have a joint discussion between the candidates for Congress in this district ? We very much doubt, however, whether the aristocratic general would dare to meet McCullough before au intelligent audience.—New Harmony Register. Pulmonary Consumption.

There are miserable people about to-day with one foot in the grave, to whom a hottleof Packer’s Tonic would do more good than all the doctors and medicine they have ever used. 4-1 ' The crank center has shifted back again from Niagara to the Brooklyn bridge. Scrofula of Lungs Believed. I am now 49 years ok!, and have suffered for the Inst fifteen years with a lung trouble. Several members of the family on my mother’s side of the house had died with consumption, and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had consumption also. I had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease. I have spent thousands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; 1 have employed all of the usual methods, not only in my own ease, but In the treatment of other members of my family, but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. By chance 1 came into possession of a lunnphlet on “Blood and Skin Diseases,” from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend recommended the useof Swift’s Specific, claiming that he himself had been greatly benefitted by its uwe in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. S. according to directions I found It an invigorat ing tonic, and have used about fifty bottles. The results are most remarkable. My cough has left me, my-strength has returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than 1 over did in my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, out I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs. 1 do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as well us I ever felt since I was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, but I am honest when I say that I owe my existence and health to-day to Swift’s Specific. It is the only medicine that brought me any permanent relief. 1 do not say that Swift’s Specific will do this in every case, but most positively t (firm that It has done this much forme, and I would be recreant to the duty I owe to suffering humanity If I failed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine. I am well known in the city of Montgomery, and can refer to some of the best citizens in the city. T. J. Holt. Montgomery, Ala., June 25,1885. Swift’s Specific is entirely vegetable.
