OUR TICKET. For Tbo Next President, GltOV ER CiJ?VKLAND. Poor Next Vice President, ISAAC I*. GRAY. For NeacKSov. of Iwltena, Wjs. E. NIBLACK. First Congressional Convention. The Iteiuocrata of the First Congressional District of Indiana will meet in delegate couvcnlion at Canliclton, I mi., on Thursday, Aagnst 2ist, 1890, At 1 o'clock p. in., lo nominate a candidate t-» represent the First District in ilie fifty-second congress. The ratio of representation shall be one vote for every one hundred, and one for every traction over fifty votes cast for Col. C. C. Matson forGoveri»or in the ^election of 1888 as follows: Votes in Convention 27 20 27 as 26 2U5 E. P. ltlCHARRSOX, Chairumn.t Tour Hr. McKinley. Not every reader knows who this Mr. McKinley is. Therefore wo state that he is from Ohio, and is a protectionist for the sake of protection. life is the man who introduced into the late platform at Chicago the following: ~ ' “ IFe favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than surrender any part of our protective system.” He thought he knew what he ment, and when he was made the chairman of the ways and means committee, he thought it to bahtsdutv todrat't a tariff bill that would faithfully interpret .the Chicago platform. No one will eav that he is not consistent, for he actually believed in the principles he put in the Chicago platform, strange as it may seem to the many farmers and laborers who get nothing from this principle hut.the blessed privilege of supporting not only the government, hut of paying also a tribute to tiie plutocrat manufacturers of the protected districts. Not all of those who made speeches the last campaign think altogether as does McKinley, for Mr. Blaine is shocked by the McKinley tariff'bill. “There is not,” according to the Secretary of State, “a section or a line in the entire hill that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork.” To this Mr. Kinley must add that 1 here is not, of course. “That is not Ihe intention of the hill.

platform pledged the party to oppose any enlargement of foreign mantels, declaring specifically for suck a revision of the tariff’ a* will tend to check imports.” Just here Mr. McKinley Plight quote Mr. Blaine’s Paris Maut--fesio agsitt6f,-3Jr. JVs free-trade program as follows: “If any man can give a reason why wo should arrange Iko tariff to tavor the raw materials of other countries in a competition against our own material of the same |tiud 1 should like to hear it.” He Mid further, “I should severely object to thercpeal of the duty on wool. To break down wool growing and be llcpent on foreign countries for Ibc blankets under|which we sleep and coat that covers our backs is not a wise poliey for the National Government to enforce.*’ Now, we ask the Pike county laborers who arc now thinking of this question, and some of whom vote the Republican ticket, whether Mr. Blaine’s new departure if it means anything honest, does not mean free wool? Yes, and free hides, drugs, dye stuffs, fruits, lumber, guano, sugar, etc. ? In speaking on this subject, one of our best American writers says: “When at Paris Mr. Blaine was asked if he did not think Mr. Ciereiand's recommendations, if adopted, would increase our export trade, ho said: “Possibly in some few articles of peculiar construction, hut it would increase our import trade tenfold as jnueh.” “How,” he asked, “are we to export staple fabrics unless we make them cheaper than they do in Europe, pud how are we to make (bent cheaper unless we get cheaper labor ?” “Then you think the labor question underlies the whole subject?” “Of course it docs. It is, in fact jno whole subject” “Very well,” replies Mr, McKinley, f‘I agree with you ; that is why I did pttumpl to open foreign markets for farm products; that is why I km attempting ill accordance With our platform to check imports.” For if, as Mr. Blaine declares, labor Underlies the whole subject, it is far pmro important to “protect” farm lalmr from competition with Ihc pauper labor and slave labor of Central and South America than it is to “protect” mechanical labor trom competition with the labor of Prance, Germany pud England, Where labor earns three times what it earns in South America. Mr. Blaine’s letters to Mr. Frye are M Inconsistent with his Paris interview, so irreconcilable with the Qhiplatform, so permeated with free e heresy that it is difficult to tini Ids new departure, difficult that this Mr. Blalue is the of JSS8, and impossible to her t(»e snake that made the track »or cowing back." I consistency never Maine, ay only;” t ffomUto S'-* 5

AnntmnkXMk to commerce ficial bairiers to •Unity Mr. Harrison gained all his information on political economy from Mr. Blaine’* Paris interview. The Secretary did not rely on himself to remove so serious a doubt as tliis, Unit he called to his assistance a practical merchant, Mr. John Wanannkor. This remarkable conference is thus described bv a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune: “The President fought against the scheme of his Secretarvof State upon many grounds, and last of all declared that reciprocity would result in au injury to commerce. Mr. Blaiii.e then called in Postmaster General Wananiaker to give his views as a merchant. The:latter declared that reciprocity would tend to develop trade, and it would widen the field for American merchants and enable them to place their goods in foreign countries where they are not nsed at present. This was a surprise to the President. Next Maj. Robert Adams, ex-Ministcr to Brazil, was called in. He had been sent to Brazil by Mr. Blaine to learn of tlio advantages that would accrue to this country from reciprocity. Maj. Adams in a clear aud forcible manner gave bis views of the matter, which tended to strengthen Secretary Blaine’s case. Then as a final argument, and with the liope of flooring his Secretary, the President introduced Gen. E. Bnrd Grubb, of New Jersey, an Iron manufacturer, to demonstrate how the business of the country would be injured by reei|ncity. Instead of proving a wituess for the President Gen. Grubb favored the scheme of Mr. Blaine.” This must be very confusing to the organs and spell binders of the Republican platform, but now it appears that it is to be Changed and made to coniform more nearly to Mr. Cleveland's recommendations in 1838. Tt Is exceedingly dangcrons to try to change front in the face of an enemy. It is open to doubt if Maj. McKinley will attempt to execute such a maneuver even when the orders coino from the White House. =________ Tub editor of the News says the editor of the Democrat is leading his party to defeat. He ought to be j glad of it, and would be if it were I true. The editor of that paper seems to think the exposure of the proceeding of his party’s conrt-honse ring at their last convention worthy of a notice two-thirds of a column long and double leaded. As to the county’s going llepublican because of the Democrat editor’s blunders, we have only to say that the seven thousand dollars counted out by the “ring” on the last day before the last county convention had more to do with the last election than Ilarrcl is willing to

acknowledge. Out upon the dissatisfaction with the editor of the Democrat. His patronage is growing daily, and if the people were dissatisfied this would not he the case. The Democrats could easily purchase this pap^r, if it were that they are dissatisfied with' {he Editor,as the Rer publicans did with Harrel once upon a time since when the editor of the News has not had one dollar's worth of public patronage from l»i3 party leaders. lie never will get it, no difference how much he acts the fool supporting men who have no use for him or his paper except for its influence in campaign times. The Press will gobble you up, Mr. II., and “don’t you forget it.” But, to speak the truth, Mr. II. is uneasy because the complaint about the court-house ring comes front the people and not front the editor of the Democrat. The Democrat publishes these items as often as the editor hears the citizens, Republicans, too, cotnplaiu of them—such statements arc in the nature of news, and if the majority can bo convinced that the court-house ring should be continued in power to lend the county’s money, to overcharge for fees, and to spend in painting the court houses aud poor asylums at ten prices, then we shall be able to stand it, but wo don’t want to as a taxpayer. If the people will only dethrone the extravagant power now in control, they can take tho printing and “go to.” Wo do not want it bad enough to conflict with anyone’s welfare. Let us have reform. Ilarrol knows what has been the extravagance of the rigg he now upholds, and has criticised it in his paper. Shall we quote it? If we hear any more falsehood in upholding the extravagant gang, we shall certainly quote some interesting reading from Harrell’s own pen. ’ Protective tariff articles still appear in some of the newspaper.-, but not so often as formerly. The “campaign education” had its effect, and those who used to advocate protection for protection’s sake, and for the benefit of the few and to the detriment of the masses, arc beginning to be ntiraid of their popularity, and are hedging, as it were, on this question which, wheu well understood by the people, is sure to be settled in fayof of Democracy. Blaine sees Ibis, and is trying to save his party by a middle ground—free trade for all the Americas. Brother Ilarrell ought to be ashamed of hiinaeir, or of his party— which ? He fights their battles every two and four years, and if lie asks the patronage of those he helps to elect, they ignore hi*n, and go elsewhere for all that his party owes him. Well, it is not a wise man that ■ will always work lor glory and “cuaswcids.” —— ,kt Pike iflako uo mistakes hi ticket selected, and a maj ority of 10 bund red or more will be the ret, Mark the prediction.—Oaldund y li&vfti.

JUDICIAL CONVENTION-. 1110 Democratic Judicial Convention of the lltb Judicial Circuit met at Oakland last Saturday. The convention was called to order at 1:30 o’clock by W. E. Cos, Chairman of the Dubois county Central Committee. Mr. C- stated the purposes of the meeting and Vf. A. Traylor, of Jasper, was elected chairman, and J. L. Mount, of Petersburg, secretary.

There being no further business the convention adjourned.

Bildcrback ; Clerk, Dan C. Ashby; ltepresontatiye, M. L. xIIeathman; State Senator, Henry J. Wiggs. • . ..-I were the enty-five years ixepuoficuii viaw legislation has robbed American labor of its just reward; and, unless relief speedily comes the farmers must soon lose their homes nil become tenants aud day laborers; the 16w price of all farm products for the last few years, which Is causing such widespread discontent in every part of the country, is due. first, to the tariff laws that prohibit commerce with other nations, and build up aud foster trusts and monapolies at home, and .which set tip and carry into effect the erroneous idea of the Bepubllean party, that ■one man is rightfully ihe subject of taxation for the benefit of another; and, second, to contraction in the circulating medium to a point far below the business demands of the country; therefore, be It ltesolved, That we denounce the McKinley tariff bill os unreaMnable, unjust, aud un-American; that wo are in favor of a tariff measure that shall place all tub NKCKSSAltlBS OF I.IFH 0 N ,TH* VttEK LIST; that the revenues of the government should be raised by the duties on luxuries and a a graded income tax. 2. That we are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, and in addition, the issue of full legal tender notes in sufficient quantities to meet all

5. That we are in favor of a law by our nest legislature reducing the rate of interest for the use of money to sis per cent., believing that lobe as high a rate or interest as any legitimate business can aflbrd to pay, and that high rates of interest favor the moneyed classes and aid in the concentration of wealth. 6. That we urge upon congress the duty of passing n law to prevent gambling in futures of farm products, and to protect the people from the schemes of gamblers and speculators in the necessaries of life., 7. That we favor a serried pension for all soldiers, sailors and mariners who served in the army, navy'or marine service of the united States during the late war, for the period of ninety days, and that the difference be paid to said soldiers of the depreciated currency paid in the field and that paid to the Bond Holder. 8. That we arraign the Republican management of this country for unwarranted extravagance in county expenditures and their needlessly increasing the taxes of an already overburdened people. D. That we are opposed to the passage of any law discriminating against teaching German in the public schools of the State. 10. That we endorse the course of Hon. Wm. F. Parrett, our able member of Congress from this district. 11. That we approve the action of the Democratic legislature of 1889, in reducing the interest on the Permanent School Fund or the State to six per cent. 12. That we favor the passage of a law bT the legislature, and that we instruct our Senator and Representative, if elected, to vote and work- for the passage of & law authorizing) the Assessors to stamp all notes, bonds, and iqprt gages held by the one assessed, orif found unstamped when the dat^of issue precedes the date of assessment, to be void. IS: That we favor the passage of a iaw, and instruct our Senator and Representative, if elected, to vote and work tor a law that will amend our Inter-State Commerce law so as to equalize the carriage of Height in the State of Indiana. 14. That the Democratic delegates from Pike county to the joint senatorial convention of Knox and Pike couuties be, and they are hereby, instructed to cast the vote of Pike county as a unit for the Hon. Henry J. Wiggs for State Seuator. NOTES. A short speech was made l>y J. D. Armstrong, of Oakland Gily^ud also by W. F. Parrett, present Congressman. , . ; V':,. . The crowd was,the largest ever assembled in Winslow, except the F. M. B. A. picnic of last year. Bildcrback, for Auditor, not voted on. ,*ie was the itn^^meiis choice of every body wbo, participated in the convention of: all parties who were in favor.of reforrji. The ticket is a satisfactory ,aad strong one. This every candidate’s opponent realizes as their faces and conversations show. The different ballots are too tedious to print. You can see the tabic of ballots by calling at this office. Three cheers for the ticket.

Washington Letter. August 16, 1890.—Tbs' meeting of Uie Grand Army at Boston lias taken frotn^tlic city the President, vaa'iiy cong ressmen, and hundreds of othersprominent in official life. As a result, things are a little dull, a tacit understanding being had that matters will be allowed to drift along quietly for a few days. The senate of course hammers away at the tariff but not a great deal of progress is made with the bill. At the preseut rate autnm will go and winter will come before McKinley welcomes bis disfigured orphan again. For the slowness of senatorial action the Democrats'are not to blame, as the Republicans consume just as much time iu debate,and what is more,they are responsible lor introducing the most extraneous matter into the.discussion. But in truth (lie Democratic senatois care little as to the timelused up iu the consideration of the . bill. They would of course prefer hr be at home, but as senator Vc$t expresses it, they will “stay till ..hell, freezes over but what this tarifi measure shall be shown lip to the American people in all its enormities.” Ou the other hand, the Republicans are begiuing to get a little uneasy and wish to hasten action if passible. They stand in dread of a considerable defection if the debate is permitted to drag along. Plumb, of Kansas, almost steadily votes with the Democrats now, of course, to reduce taxation, and ho is often seconded by Ingalfe, bis colleague, and both the Nebraska senators, Mandersou and Paddock. Teller, of Colorado, is also getting a little restiyc, and other senators are also a little fidgetty in their seats. It would not take much therefore, to turn the balance of power in the senate to the side of tariff refprm. Ilcnce the desire of Gr&udmjtrjLIoaf to cut off further debate. - Yesterday was what la called;‘‘District day”- iu the house, or the'.day when legislation for this city is jeon,sidcred. This particular day though!, could with more propriety have been called Pennsylvania railroad d|j% as it was entirely used up in the consid* oration of a measure to increase the holdings and extend the right* end privileges of that corporation in this country. It is a curious fact that whenever the railroads waut any,legislation congress is not only always ready but is willing. Members of both parties are open to the suspicion lhal railroad bills are more than a favorite with them. It would be a good idea for the home people w'hqufever they see (heir representative too friendly with prospective legislation law to stick a piu there and then hold it in. In this particular case I, cap only say tlliat the ^Pennsylvania com* pany usually gels about all jjt wants from congress as'lts roads run out of Washington iu all, directions a ad 6f course congressmen like to be safely and cheaply carried to their respective homes.

from the Dei htbat in which a 1W of charge* a ;oluran Jong were made against that wonderful platform of the conTeutii tt of August 2d. Wo presume tha driver of the the nincompoop quillPress admits that all the otlier charge are true. Against this charge, of vv iich the platform ( ?) was guilty, the F raw can fiutl no argument; but, s.ccording to its nature, cries iiar hair a dozen limes, more or less. Ifut no more could be expected : corner a flob n t mud stinger and he will immedi: taly cease to state the tacts and cry 1; ar. Does tlie Press intend to ignote all the sins that the leaders of its party have heaped upon the people <: f Pike county, and do nothing but cry out liar every time the sheep’s o.mt Is palled aside, to show the woi if jeneath it ? or does that journal iutenl to fight it out on a line of argument laden ot troth And facts? ;The Republicans of Pike ceuuty ought to volu the Press editor their sincereat sympathy for his not being able to cry more than liar. For I shame! The radical leaders of the Republican party, haying an apparent majority, have undertaken, not only to bind the minority from action, but to silence it, in the deliberative body where representatives of majority i and minority are sent to reach agreements binding on both. It is only in the measure that laws represent agreement that they can have any lasting or beneficial effect in government. Free speech is made a vital part of our at tempt at tree governfor this end, that every proposition advanced for binding all may be so discussed in advance that Us faults may be exposed and corrected, and the largest possible measure of prior consent won tor it When free speech is cut off, law-making is changed from the basis of consent to that ot government without consent. On that basis, the party which lias a temporary majority of 2, or 200,000, need not consult any other rule of right than its own pleasure. Ir the Pike County Democrat can tell al about the county election !u Pike before it shall come to past, as well as it did about the Republican convention previous to its meeting, it will only be necessary to read the Democrat to know the future fate of aspirants for county offices.—Oakland City ’Record. The Record evidently docs not understand how we were able to tell whbni the Republicans would nominate. We may explain that there was no one Who wanted to ruu for some of the offices, while for the other offices the court house ring made the ticket and decided op the meaus of nominating it. While the leading lights were doing this, the unsoughtfor places were: tilled. The secret, their own men posed. By this means.we' were no! only able to-pre-eiict; but to know whit was being done. V-lV

One of the Republican candidates has been a professional kicker, auil for that he got; a place on the ticket. Another one has voted other tickets almost as often as he had a chance, to. A third one is in the same condition as number two, and wants a life lease on the conrt-h(»nsc,ring and all! A fourth one has sailed all Democrats disloyal. A <ifill one was nominated by chikancrv. A sixth one is not qualified. A seventh one docs not want his record in the court-house to go before the people. In sport, it lb a ticket; bnt what kind of a ticket is it ? ' McKinley was the man who introduced into the Republican platform the tarifi planks, and he is.one of the men who were active In sending British flags all over the country, thereby pretending that their initended raid upon the treasury is patriotism. But, in short, what is it, better than robbery, to steal $52 on the dpi nd red from all you can buy? And this comes up, too, uuder a pretense t>f patriotism. Patriotism of this kind never,did much towards defending a nation, but it has made seven hundred millionaires. AnothkrfTm. B. A. visited our office yesterday and openly declared that Dan Yorhecs was just the man he wanted tor Senator.—Vincennes Messenger. The Messenger is fighting Voorhecs with might and main. But the Messenger must know that the doctrine of the F. M. B, A. is identical with Voorhees’s doctrine, and it should make no difference through whom legislation is effected just so it is in the interest of the masses. Let ns have a reform, fast and furi ous. A handsome complimentary ticket to the Pike county Fair at Petersburg, has been received at this office.' The twentieth annual fair ot that county will keep up the reputation wbicli the former fairs have established and all who attend will be paid for so doing.—Oaktaud City Record. That “handsome complimentary" was printed at the Democrat office. And right the Record is, for the fair here will be a “daisy.” Tiib ticket that was nominated last Monday i» the one that will win. Die people do not want men for office who have either been tried aud found wanting, or v ho want to keep a particular office because he can he the future guide, over-seer, and ruler oi the books lie is, and has been, handling for nearly four years.
