Yes; the “Big Four” most goIr Gen. Hovey ain’t afraid, why not have a joint discussion between the candidates for Congress in this District?' —————— Ed. McCullough is a friend- o! monopolies, 6ays the Press. He is op posed to all monopolies, like every true Democrat. The Prohibitonists, as Well as the Liquor League, will fight the Indiana Republican ticket. It doosn’t pay tc be a coward and a hypocrite. The Press should be careful when it goes into the ventilating business There bat least one candidate (Republican) who will not stand the ventilating process. The Seymour Democrat says there is an under current of indifference among the Republican masses toward that party’s State ticket that promisee no good to it.

The Press refers to “political dirt.” How virtuous! That paper lifts thrown more dirt In previous campaigns than could bo ficightcd on a train of an hundred cars. v Goodlkt Mono an writes long sesays on the labor question; but rcfues to permit a laboring man to pay a debt in trade, and exacts the money frtim him by law. All political parties which maintain a position in the public esteem, must have principles which they cannot be forced to surrender either by barter or purchase. The present campaign in this county, will determine whether tho Nationals arc to be regarded as a party with declared doctrines, op as- a tail to tho“Republican kite. Vermont and Maine wont Republican by reduced majorities, and Arkansas increased her Democratic majority. Here is a straw, showing which way the wind blows. The Press refers to tho corrupt Petersburg riug. What will the members of it (Morgan, Bothell and Wilson) say to this ? It is a serious charge to make agaiust members ot its own party. Ir tho coalition ticket succeeds in this county, it means the utter annihilation of the National party hero. It will prove conclusively, that they yfegard the spoils of office as superior tn ni<i iipinln

Democratic speakers all over the State report that their meetings are well attended, much enthusiasm prevails, and that a campaign never opened more auspiciously for the party than this one. Returns to Statistician Pcellc from nearly every county in the State indicato that the yield of-corn in Indiana this year will be about 130,000,000 bushels; an increase of 10,000,000 bushels over 1885. .. ■.-.■flbi.L..11. . .. A vote for Thompson is a vote for a successor to Ben. Harrison, \jrho has denounced the Nationals as idiots. The Nationals want to see Harrison 4»ut in It's polieal grave. They will vote for Thompson. If Goodlet Morgan is half as anxious to pay his debts as he pretends to be, why didn’t he allow what Hector King owed him for brick to bo credited on what he owed King before he (Morgan) went into bankruptcy? Kh ? The Republican party lias from the first abused andfmade all manner of sport of the National party. Now they wink knowingly at one another, as much as to sav: We have made cjt's paws’ of "them to scratch our “chestnuts out of the fire.” TuEChairman of the Gibson County Republican Committee is the Superintendent of Schools for that i county, and the question has been asked over there whether he charges i:hq county for the time spent in committee rooms and for out township political work. If Stubblefield is elected ho will cast a vote for the little dandy, ‘‘Benny,” for the IT. S. Senate. Benny has already declared that the “Greenback idiots” afe in need iof an asylum. If they themselves feel the need of one, they can indiehte it by voting for Joseph. The National nominees on the fusion ticket (Messrs. Ferguson, Brumfield and Hutchins) are clever gentlemen, and have been imposed upon by Morgan and Bethell, who want them on the ticket for no other purpose than to^elect Morgan and Bethell. Mark the prediction. Nationals, watch this. 1 TnE Democratic nominees received support in the convention from all parts of the county. They are the choice of the people. No ring fixed the slate as >vas done before the fusion convention. Many Republicans and Nationals do not propose to support a ticket fixed up by Morgan, Bethell, Wilson and Gladish. This “Big Four” are not big enough to run the National and Republican parties of Pike county.

Hok. AV. It. Moxmsox jtias been renominated by the Democrats of the ■eighteenth Illinois district. The renomination is a deserved compliment to one of the ablest Democrats'in the party. Mr. Morrison has served in the house of representatives with conspicuous ability. His fidelity to the people, his effective work, his strength and his character have combined to earn for him the steadfast trust of his constituents. No better representative will be returned from the west. The Cincinnati Post, an independent paper, gives the following glowing account of affairs in the Buckeye State—and this, too, undei; a Democratic President: “Anyone taking a night trip by rail through Ohio at this time will find the factories all over the State alight and humming. ‘Can’t, keep up with our orders,’ is the prevailing testimony. The crops, except corn, are in ; money plenty; railroads can’t move.tlfeir freight fast enough: . tho stock of made-up goods is low; and business is booming till you can’t uloep.” ___ The Democrats of Gibson county are to be congratulated on the merits of their ticket. It is composed so far as we are personally acquainted, of honest, capable men. AVllford B. McDonald the"candidate for clerk, aside from being a thorough Democrat, is also a competent business man and a courteous warm hearted gentleman, who, we know, will prove as faithful a servant oi the people of old Gibson In tho capacity of clerk ns our own candidate John W. McCarty. To our neighbors of Gibson county we extend our best wishes in their efforts to elect a Democratic ticket this r

FACTIONS. Washington said in his farewell address that the spirit of faction “agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, and kindles the animosities of one against another.” While political differences and national parties are unavoidable and highly essential to a republican form of government there is a kind of petty strife whic h frequently arises and is decidedly detrimental to political parties and enervating to the public administration. For this dread evil there are many causes and but few remedies, since it seems that there is a seductive influence about internal strife which even those cujov who fear to fight the foe. It often results from religious opinions, distribution of wealth or more frequently from political controversies. In the absence Of a reasonable cause, or a substantial occasion, oftentimes men will enlarge on the most trivial circumstances and fanciful illusions, aud suffer themselves to be lod iuto improprilios of which they will ever af.erward repent. The way of the transgressor is ignoble; Ills career begins with Revenge, and ends with Remorse. He is caressed by new found friends, and who may albeit replenish his purse, but jn the end ho is disgraced, his professed friends desert ^iim, and Ins former friends have lost all eonfideucc in him.

“A PETERSBURG RING.” Goodlet Morgan, 'Chairman of Republican Congressional Committee, Petersburg. J. W. Wilson, Chairman of Republican County Central Committee, Petersburg. J. W.GIadish, Secretary of Republican County Central Committee, Petersburg. Goodlet Morgan, Republican candidate for Clerk, Petersburg. George Martin, Treasurer of Republican County Central Committee, Petersburg. W. J. Bethell, Republican candiditto for Anditor, Petersburg. —Aud the ‘‘Big Four,” residents of Petersburg, wag the Republican party in the county outside of Petersburg as easily and readily as a dog wags his tail. They “cut-and-dricd” the ticket “nominated” at Winslow. “IIow is litis for high” as a Republican “ring” at Petersburg? They are a nice lot of fellows (their organ for them) to cry “ring” at Democrats! Tiif. official cstimates of the principal crops just completed from returns collected at the end of August, indicate an additional relative expansion in the central district, while theothers, especially in the principal areas of production, arc decidedly lower. The corn prospect shows an increase in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio, while it has been lowered 5 to 13 per cent, in a month in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska aud Michigan, where more than half the Cji'op is ordinarily produced; The department estimates roughly, howcvci^Bgtt the crop will amount to “neai^BtoO$00,0(X) bushels,” which isabo Ji^SQ&OOO bushels less than last veffj but surpless of old corn, possibly 150.000^00 bushels larger than that at the last cor.n harvest. The department also increases its previous estimate of the wheat yield in the central area of the states, w liile cutting it down some in the spring wheat states: indicating from the former an increase in the aggregate yield from the gain in the central district by about 10,000,000 bushels as compared with the August estimate. The present estimate is about 445,000,000 bushels.

A REPUBLICAN DOCUMENT. Some Sareastlc Pointers on the Record of Goodlet Morgan. I want to say to the Democrats that they are standing in their own light it' they don’t vote for Morgan ! Just think what a valuable citizen he lias bceu for'Pike county? liis note was good to anybody.' I have heard men say they would rather have Morg»«& tiote than have the cash. “Will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.” When the war broke out Morgan was a bravo man! he insisted on everybody else to go, but lie was to busy in his parlor. There was enough to fight the Rattle without hint. lie did not shavexorders that were given to the soldiers wives while their husbands were in the army. Oh, rib! When ho got everything arranged to suit him he built the finest brick house iu the couuty for himself and family, Theft ho took the benefit of the bankrupt law and paid all of his debts according to that system of gouging, and then he was a retired merchant of great influence hi the Republican party. Well, this truly loyal and model Republican says now, if he is elected he will pay every honest debt; but then the question arises, al 1 of his debts that lie paid by taking the bant rupt law lie will tell you those have long since been paid. If ho ever intended to pay them he has had a good chance, for he has the proceeds of his wife’s farm, and anyone that knows anything about farming knows full well that the income from that farm is worth mpya/than the clerk’s ulfiee. Now, this model man has the audacity to go around and tell these men, that ho paid (?) by the benefit of the bankrupt law, that ho wants to pay every debt he justly owes-—if he should he elected he will tell these gentlemen that those debts were paid long ago. It all men were like this model man what would a bond be worth? He went on AVhitman’s bond for a large amount hut never paid a cent. He was a good feather-bed soldier, and while better men than him were in the ftout trying to put down the' rebellion he was at homo making money to build that fine house on his wife’s land, where his creditors could not reach it. Voter.

FACTS VS. “FUSTIAN.” The senseless cantings of the Press, concerning the supposed existence of a Democratic ring in Petersburg, deserves no further comment than a brief reference to the facts themselves. The most unsophisticated {unpolitical matters understand, that a party clique, which even exerts any considerable influence, must not only have the naming of the candidates who are entered in the race, but must have the power to formulate and control the organizations under whose direction the campaign is conducted. The chairman and secretary of the county central committee, and a majority of our county executive committee are from the central part of the county and have established headquarters at Winslow. Again, Washington township went into the convention with three of her own men as candidates, namly: Hon. Lemuel Hargrave for representative, Perry W. Chappell, for Auditor and John W. McCarty for Clerk,

Air. Hargrave had served one term in the legislature and his work was seemingly satisfactory to his constituency. Mr. Chappell had made an excellent record as treasurer for two terms and there was apparently every assurance that his reward would be in uamiug him for another position. Air. Edwards, from the extreme southern part, and Air. Thompson from the contral of the county were selected by the Democracy in convention assembled, over Mr. Hargarve and Mr Chappell. Air. McCarty is the only candidate on the entire ticket from this town. Do these facts justify even an influence that a ring exists here ? If so do they not prove overwhelmingly, that it is shorn of all power and is helpless. But we have assured the people over and over again that there is not now, nor has there been any Democratic ring here or elsewhere in this county. Those who contend that there is must do sh-Avithout argument and in the face of facts, which justify the conclusion that they regard the people as either knaves or fools. How stands the account on the other side of the political household? Look at the facts. No more than half a dozen voters out of 1800 men, composing two political parties, meet in secret council, surrender the principles of both, and decide to combine them for the purpose i f enriching a few men with the spoils of office. Meet at Winslow— publish the contract—decide the political comodities sold, and, pledge delivery of the goods at the polls in November. “Thou hypocrite!’’ Cast the blackbeam out of thiue own eye, before thou dee-rarest a mote in ours. - jJ^^|nbllcan Hypocrisy. Whcii.tlie soldier was battling for his cotnftry and his flag under a promise'TPf $13 per month, paid in greenbacks, the bond holder, safe in his cosey room was negotiating for Government bonds dollar for dollar, payable in gold at a premium of $2.65. Or in other words paying for these bonds at a little, over thirty-eight cents on the dollar. And when a Democratic Congress during Grant's administration, attempted to raise the wages the soldier had received to the price agreed upon, or to pay the differcnco between $13.00 and $4.64, the Republican President, Grant, vetoed the hill and the Republican loaders said Amen to it. A nation like an individual, should be just, before it attempts to be generous; and when tie Republican party can render a satisfactory reason, why they did not pay the soldier what they promised him it will then be time to prate about pension bills, and charge the Democratic party with being uutrue to the soldier.

Editor Democrat.—Please inform many voters who signed the complaint against the County Commissioners to enforce them to build a new jail, and if the eosts have boeu made. Inquirer. [In answer to Inquirer we state that the suit was brought by Goodlet Morgan against the Board of Commissioners, March 11,18S5, to compel the building of a new jail at this place. The case was dismissed by Morgan’s attorneys, June, 27, 1885, at Morgan’s cost. The records show the costs, which amount to $12.35, to be unpaid.—Ed.] jludlana State Fair. Agriculture is on a boom. Everybody is interested, as all business prosperity is largely dependent on the farm crops. Never before in the history of the State was there a greater abundance of the necessaries of life, with general good health prevailing and corresponding happiness. The social features of this Annual Festival have assuinod great importance for friends meeting from a distance, and the amateur farmer meeting the professional, as arranged by correspondence for months previous. The volume of business in connection with the State Fair by orders for live stock and machinery is immense, and would look incredible if stated in figures. The Board of Agriculture congratulates Gie farmers and the community iiLgencral on the bright prospects for the future, and teel assured that the coming State Fair, the week commencing September 27, will be an improvement on all others heretofore.

Democratic Administration. The results of the first sixteen months of President Cleveland’s administration are summed up by the Sata ltosa Democrat as follows: The national debt has been reduced 1116,000,000. The net balance in the treasury has increased $97,000,000. The gold coin in the treasury has increased $30,000,000. The government expenses have been decreased $10,000,000. The government has paid more pensions than ever before. A great many of the incompetent, lazy and useless officials have been weeded out and dispenced with. Economicial and business methods have been substituted for extravagance and political robbery. Scrofula of Lungs Relieved. I am now -19 years old, and have suffered for the last fifteen years with nlung 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 apU of the usual methods, not onlvsin n>y own case, bnt In the treatment of other members of my family, hut temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for anv manual lalior for several years, lly clianco I came Into possession of a pamphlet on “Blood and Skin Diseases,” from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, ({a. A friend recommended the use of Swift’s Specific, claiming that he himself had been greatly bonefitted by its use in some lung troubles. X resolved to try It. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. S. according to directions. I foundit an invigorating 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 I overdid In my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my Jungs. I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as well as I ever felt slnee I was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, hut I am honest when I say that I owe my existence and healtli to-day to Swift’s Specific. It is the only medicine that brought me any permanent relief. I do not say that Swift’s Specific will do this in every ease, but most positively affirm that it has done this much for me, 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.
