The vote of the district for president two years ago was; Cleveland, 19,881; lilaine, 18,511. Democratic majority, 1,350. For Congressman, Kleiner, received 19,930 votes against 18,583 for Gudgel. Compared with Kleiner’s vote in 1&8J, McCullough lost in every county, ranging from only 7 in Spencer to 1,532 in Vandcrbnrg, his total loss in the district being 8,027. Hovoy’a vole was larger in live counties than Hint thrown tor Gudgel, hut his loss in Vanderhurg and Gibson left the total 253 short of that received by Gudgel iu 1881. McCullough ran just; 618 votes behind the Democratic State ticket, and it will bo seen that, had a full presidential vote been polled, heeould have been elected by a good majority, in spite of the disaffection growing out of the Boottville convention. Gen. Hovev represents a Democratic district, but an analysts of the vote shows he could not have been elected had a full vote liven polled.

Two Itenioerats, elected to the Lcgislatuie in St. Joseph county, Ind., have been contested jby their Republican opponents, who enterod contest secretly, the clerk of the eountv being i Republican and ready tool for poll leal intrigue. This conspiracy, which roaches us through onr exchanges, is supposed to extend to inure onnties than St. Joseph. There is much more chance j for wholesale, complete, and successful rascality hy l>elug as secret as possible. To enter jontost publicly is to invite fairness uid honest results, which they \jrish 10 avoid, as is proven by their secret lactics. What the [Republicans did not get by bait of ■ money for poor men *«ud boaters it is uow trying to heal? Since the history of the United states began, no partly or faction lias jeen so noted for dishonest greed and fain as (lie present leaders and ■ingsters of the Republican party. I'hoy stole tlie presidency ; they tried osteal New York in the last presileut'al election; and they are now Tying to steal the Legislature by sere t fraud. Secrecy eau mean nothug but fraud. And they stand up liter the fashion of men, and about heir only argument is to cry, “ras■al!” ‘"scoundrel!!” “Who but tldef ioes spend ail his time in crying thief; ind who but a rascal does accomplish us purpose by means ot a scoundrel’s tcerot ?”

The Indianapolis Freeman, an able nouthlv magazine devoted to tariff ■eform and honestly in politics, says: 'Tito lords of our protected indnsries grind the [laboring] people down >v oppressive taxes until they have treated what they call “the pur■hasable vote;” then they go out and my up the American paupers like deep with the money they have taicn from hem. i After they have lal ("-starved their victim ,nev cotno o him in the moment of his weak* mss aim tempt him with a bribe, fhey offer t > buy him with a small sort ion of his own money if he will mly allow the swindling to go on. i'hat is what protection means when t is stripped of all its high-sounding tamos. Such a system can’jt last. We feel suie of its speedy overthrow, unit he defeat of it dozen Morrison’s wouldn't shake our faith.” The Vincennes News says: “Eiglieen of tire thirty-live Democrats (or, rather, alleged Democrats), who opposed tariff leg'slation in the last Confti*«s, failed to gel; a ronomination, mil of *he remaning seventeen who were reuomlnaied, but thirteen were re-elected.

The Price of Wheat. Perhaps the most ridiculous camI paign lie of thp^past campaign, says the Washington Advertiser, was the assertion that the low price of wheat was due to the Democratic administration, An administration, either i Democratic or Republican, controls the price of wheat in this country, in about the same ratio as Wiggins does earthquakes. lie fooled the ncgioes of the South with the threat of an earthquake; and perhaps the Republican organ of tliis county scared the farmers with the threat, of a Democrat ici.dminist ration in the same way. Tliis country can produce wheat enough to feed 500,000.000 persons whereas we have only 55,000,000. We therefore produce more wheat than is required by the homo demand, and we have to look to a foreign market for our surplus. Liverpool is the greatest grain market of the world. All grain dealers buy with a view to the ruling price at Liverpool. This ts the key-note to tho price. There can't be two prices, j one for the home market, and another for tho foreign market. The fanner who wants more than tho Liverpool price can’t sell at all. As long as our farmers produce more wheat than tiie home market demands, that long they must accept Liverpool prices. The only way to let the home market rule the price of wheat is to produce Ics< than we do, so that we will have none to export, or to makoa law compelling tiie man who buys for tho home market to pay more more than when he buys for tiie foreign market. A law of that character would place the 3mer on an equality with the maneturers. Under tiie protection of tariff the manufacturer sells to home consumers ut an average advance ot 43 per cent.; and his surplus ho sells in foreign markets at free trade prices. It would bo fair if farmers were protected in the same wav.

Jttuge uuratner on me t-egisiaturc. Hon. W. It. Gardiner, who was elected to the Legislature front the Democratic county of Daviess, attended court last week. He defended Won Garland. While here a Democrat representative interviewed the Judge (who, by the way, will likely be chosen Speaker) regarding the complexion of the coming legislature, and the probable outcome of the contests. The Judge is a good Republican, and an able one, too; and he was emphatic in declaring his opinion that no man should be refused*a seat (if he be eligible) to serve party ends. The party who inaugurated a movement to unseat or participate in a scheme to rob men, elected to the Legislature, of their seats, would receive the severest censure aud the utmost condemnation of the people. The contests must be decided according to law, ambit'a Representative is entitled to his seat, he he Democrat, Republican, Greeubacker, rrohibitionist, or Kuigbt of Labor, be should have the place, whether it makes the Legislature Democratic or Republican on joint ballot. These are the views of an upright and fair-mil ded Republican who will be oue of the (cade' s of lho leaders of the majority in the House, and if lr.«, counsel prevails, the minorty (the Democracy) In that b;«nch will not be deprived of a single right to which they are entitled by law. }vtr. Gardiner says good material will be found in the coming Icgisla ture, men of ability to accomplish needed legislation, and is hopeful that no factional, or party quarrels, will occur to disturb its deliberations, lie thinks that most of the “fight” is in anticipation and will not take'place, but gradually spend its force, and the next General Assembly will settle down to a harmonious and hardworking hotly. We trust the Judge's prediction will prove true.

The New Albany Ledger hits straight from the shoulder in the following: “Wo do not want the Deinmncrals to cheat the Republicans out of a single seat they are entitled to in tho Indiana legislature, but if cheating is resorted to by tho other side, there will he a very general disposition among Democrats to try and heat tho Republicans at their own game and the Democrats hold the trumps and will win if they loud tho right

EDUCATIONAL. tTb!s column \HU edited by the County Superintendent. He desires c<»miuuiiU;UionR from every teacher in the count v. Address Ului.l Not always can you use the. same plan. What pays Peter may rob Paul. ■ It is not always opportunity that makes the man. “when we consider scholarship. Some of our brightest scholars are self-maile. Children at school arc generally in better earnest than their parents at home. Parents need not believe any thing else; the children will do well under the right kiud of cure. Schools should continue eight or nine months in the year; from four to six is not long enough. If education is worth all that it is said to he, no one will object to thoroughness in it. Perfection in education and religion is the work of ages, and by earuest men and women. We can uot hope to gain in a few years by any class ol workers, however zealous that which we would have our race to he.

Bass, of Indianapolis High School, lias recently been giving some interesting lectures in Indiana and elsewhere. His lectures have been lijglitv recommended. His lecture on Gumption is full of ijumptiou, from first to last, and is not only entertaining hut instructive. The one on llutnor and Humorists is funny from beginning to end, without a suggestion of vulgarity or profanity. Wit and humor are analyzed, showing what each depends upon. Illustrations of each from the best American humorists are presented in a very entertaining manner. Nearly every Legislature of this State tries to do something to cripple 1 the schools. Why it should be so we can not tell. It is certainly true that the legislators believe that a school system is a good thing for the future of this country ; and, for this consideration, one’s reason is quite puzzled to know that some features in our school systems have at times come near being entirely set aside. The County Superiiitcmleiicy is sometimes a matter of consideration, lustead of trying to abolish it, would it uot be better to require superior qualitiea tion on the part of the one who holds the office. Say that his three last licenses shall he the best that the law will allow, or that he shall hold a State license before he can "be eligible to the office, and shall have resided in the conuty in which he is elected one or two years previous to his election.

Scrofula of Lungs Believed. I am now 1!) years old, and have suffered for the last fifteen years with a lung trouble. Screra] members of the family on my mother's side of the house bad died with consumption. and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had consumption also, l had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease. I have spent thousauda of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; 1 have employed ali of the usual methods, not only In my own case, bid 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 I came into possession of a pamphlet on •• Blood and Skin Diseases,” from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend recoinmended the nse of Swift's Specific, claiming that he himself had been greatly benefltted by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try It. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. 8. according to directions l found it an Invigorating tonic, and tiave used about fifty bottles. The results arc most remarkable. My cough has left. me. my strength lias returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than 1 everdtd In my life, it has been three years since I stopped the nse oft ho medicine, j but 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 as I ever felt since 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 health 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 case, but most positively i ftirm that it lias done t his much for me, and 1 would be retreat! t to tlie duly I owe tosttftVriug humanity ift failed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine. 1 am welt known In the city of Montgomery, and ! tan refer to some of the best citizens In the tlt.v.
