“A HARD SPOT” Is What the Coart-ftae Rial Calls Bad Management That Bing Besorts to Falsehood tc * Hide Its Beoord, and Ame Tbe Democrat Takes The Record* Which the Ring Has Hade and F.'xpoaea Tbe Falsehood ill AVerds •(Truth, sad Exposca a Trick An articl without a word of truth is from ilie Petersburg Pre.it as follows: What is the reason The Democrat hat stopped its howling about tlieexl ravaganct of tbe past tour years of Republican admin, titration in Pike county ? A few- weeks ago that orgari was very noisy on the subject of corrupt financial management in county' matters. Id order to hush up this malicious and deceitful gabble and to give to tbe iienpie of the county a true and correct statement of its financial management since tbe Republicans took charge ol affairs in . 1886, the Press published a statement which showed tbe magnificient record of the party and at the same time proved The Democrat’s charges to be absolutely false. Since that time The Democrat has been as silent as a grave yard on the nuljject, thereby admitting the truth of our statements and the falsity of its own. This is a subject in which the voters ol the county are more interested than in almost any other, and we would cull their attention to theaboye facts. AY heu tlie Democrat attacks the Republican officials on the score of bad financial mania cement it butts its bead against a very hard spot in the good record of the parly. When the Republicans took charge in 1886 they found a debt over $58,000, in order! and bonded debt, and county orders selling for from 80 to, 85 cents on the dollar. The Republicans hate now been in power only four years and they make the magnificent showing of having paid off the entire floa ting debt of tbe county, $10,000 to $15,000, and about $9,600 on the bonded debt, aggregating in all paid about $20,000. And county orders are worth their face, and the interest has stopped on all orders. This county.'V^Sl Ilk see what the Auditor's reports show. The Auditor’s figures show that the total receipts for county purposes were, For Fiscal Year T>tal to June 1st Same report ments to be For Fiscal Year 1887 1883 1889 1890 shows t80460,»t 34826.58 42593.98 $107790.88 disburse1887 1888 t3.3S87.7i) 88558.37 35074.76 Total expenditures to end June 1st 1890 $107520,83 This shows that the Republicans have received $270.05 more money than they have paid out, excepting $15595, x4 which the Democrats turned over to them in June 1887. The rate of taxation is another orrl ennf 99

When the Democrats went out the county tax was 56)4 c. on the $100, and county bond tax only 29c., a total of 7634c. The Republicans have raised it to 7534 c. on the the $100 for county tax, which added to the 20c. for bond taxes makes 9534c. on the $100, making the taxpayers pay $7000 a year more than thej paid under the Democrats, and yet there is nothing to show where the money has ge ne except such jobs as painting the court-house. How do you like the truth? But here is the pretty mess. In June i8gp, the Treasurer’s report shows $18132.50 of county funds on hands. Since then there has been received by county bonds refunded $9000.00. By cash from sale at county asylum $185.30. This makes a total on hands last June and since received of $27317.8ci. There has since been paid out for county orders and county bonds $25094-'8b, and there is yet to be paid of the county bonds refunned $5000,00. This makes, in money paid out and outstanding bonds due, $36094.80, showing that all the county funds on hands last June and all the money since received for county purposes has been expended and $2762.30 of the coming December oppbrtionment lias also been spent, and yet there are allowances made by the commissioners and circuit court that have never been paid. After next December, no difference who is elected, county orders will float again, for the Republicans are now spending money that belongs to the year 1891. Does this not look like a political trick to serve the purpose of making pretence of good management, and to bring the Democrats that are going to be elected next month into disrepute! The Democrats used to get along with a great deal less money than all this, and did the bridge building for the whole county, whereas all bridges that cost not more thar $75 are now built by the townships, qmd on all other bridges the town ships pay $75 of expense of build ing. Great Caesar! If a change was ever needed, i^’s now! When tlie Republicans charge li IWlit they (bn oft a detit of over fa8,0dtl, in or

amounting to $1260,91, making ii all $16^6.05; assetts turned ove: by Democrats to Republicans This is almost as much as the Re publicans, who want to go it again, even claim to have reducet th,e debt. Bosh! It was not paic on the $15000 outstanding countj orders: Show up! You claim then was $15000 outstanding orders. Itemize them, if you dare! Facts and Facts. Tiie Oakland City Record quotei from the pen of tlip nincompoop tliai edits tko Petersburg Netrs the fol lowing: i “your love for Democracy and vour ha tred and prejudice against Republicans an so greai that you would, like the man yoi attempt to defend in your article, vote « straight Democratic ticket, composed en> i.irely of civilians, over a ticket nominated liv the Republicans, and every man a gal lant veteran.” Then the Record appends from ilic pen of a well Iried and true soldiei the following: Well, what of it? Is that not the policy of your parly ? Would you ot your parly vole the Democratic ticket, and every man on it an old veteran, and every man on youi own :t civilian? Certainly you would not, and none know this fact better than the editor of the News and his pah who assissted him in writing the hyp ocritical editorial under consideration. Are you not advocating a civilian over a one-legged' soldier, a gallant veteran wlio lost, his leg in defense of his country?. Do you think the people are all fools and cannot sec the flimsiness of yonr editorials ? Do you think the intelligent people oi Pike county will take your hypocritical writings as true lore for a gallant veteran who lost his leg in order that your stay-at-home, hyper political worshippers at the shrine of the monopolists and money power of the country might enjoy the privilege ot abusing and maligning every man who possesses independence enough to vote and think as he ph ases ? You are upholding Goodlet Morgan whu stayed at home and, as county comAway with such hypocrisy and demagog nonsehsc.” Queries. interested member of the G. A. R. has seiU us the following queries: 1. Does any man know of the F. M. IS. A.’s nominating a Democrat Reprcsentativeor Senator anywhere in Indiana? 2. Why do they wish to unite, iu voting .with the ti. A. R., but exclude the G. A. R. uien from their cheap goods? 3. Why lias Gibson county, which lias one of the oldest F. M. B. A. organizations in the Slate, got no F. M. B. A. ticket? 4. Why is there no F. M. B. A. State ticket ? 5. Does any man know of a strong Republican county which has an F. M. B A. ticket ? 0. Last, hut hot least, why do these things look so queer?

The Democrats of every school district iu Pi.keooifuty should set a tool at once, organizing Deiuocratie clubs, and preparing for the coming campaign. The Australian ballot system should be thoroughly understood by the voters, so that no mistakes may occur when they go to deposit their ballot.' The cbmmitteman in each precinct should take the lead in this matter and see that their precincts arc thoroughly organized. A firm, united action uow will ensure success iu the future. We have a good ticket from top to bottom, and it will be elected, if the Democrats of the county will just put their shoulders to the wheel and help on the car progress. Now is the lime to organize. A good many Republicans will vole the Democratic ticket next election, and if the Democracy is not successful to the relief of the taxpayers, no Democrat need blame anyone but his own parly workers. The people are tired ol this court-house rule, and are ripe fot a change. Go to work for the buttei limes. _ ~ The editor of the News has given notice that he will on to-morrow disli out to ilia readers a good deijl of nonsense' to the benefit of Dcmocl-ats and the detrrnmout of the Republicans No better evidence that Dan C. 4-shbj will be elected can be fouud than thai the Netps and Press are trying to create the opion that the man who losi his leg at Nashville is a rebel. Uow many of these same men who are ag ging on the Press and News weri among those pncilaniiiious coward: who, not many years ago in a rail) on the streets of Petersburg proposed and gave “three cheers for the mat that shot off Dau Ashby’s leg?” Am now come these coutcinptible, dirty political cowards who have not am never have had a particle of patriot ism in their make up, aud try to,ere ate a prejudice agaiust a man tha carried bis gun in the defense of hi country and came well nigh losing liii life, but who has never com plainw about .it Politically, such coudne to consign such papers and their edi tors, court-house ones-and all, to de feat and everlasting shame.

FIRST GrXJISr. ' CPEIHG OF THE CAMPAIGN II PIKE ; COUNT! i ■■ SENATOR TORP1E, OF OUR OWN STATE. He Will Hake it Speech worth Hearing. Judge David Turpie, U. S. Senator of this state, will address the people of Pike county at Winslow, on next Tuesday, at one o’clock, p. m. Everybody are specially invited to hoar this invincible jurist and orator Senator Turpie is in the full sympathy with the laboring masses of this great cent mop wealth. and can convince auy unpredjudiced mind that the Democratic party is right on the living Issues. He deals in no platitudes, but goes straight to the truth, and should, therefore, be heard by everyone who expects to exercise the right of suffrage at the next election-^ the greatest privilege in the posession of mortal man. Let every body hear ijic distinguished Senator, and more people will know the truth than now know it. Turn out! Turn out!! Turnout!!! As to little Frank Iiildcrback, there is not another man in Pike county as well qualified for Auditor as he, and there is not an lion ester, more moral, or more industrious young man in the county. Since lie was in his teens he has had the care of a large family of younger brothers and sisters’ on his hands. lie supported and educated them by his own hard earnings. lie is poor, ami is one of tiie mo3t deserving young men in all the county. Elect him, and if he does not make a (letter Auditor than any of tiis opponents can make, the Democrat will uever reccontmeud another man for office. TifEcourt house ring is yelling itself hoarse about having paid off a little of the coutity debt. The truth is they have increased taxation, have not made any improvement*, and in They are solid facts and tee defy any member ef the bourf home ring lit Uixproce them. Come ok with tour statement!! FIKE IS GOING AGAINST YOU!!! There is a well founded rumor that if the Republicans seen re the Legislature this year, they will .repeal the law preventing aliens from holding land in this state. Such a promise, it is said, has been made by the Republican “bosses” in order to secure ample “boodle1' for election purfioses. They >vere defeated by Green Smith at this game once, let them be overwhelmingly defeated again. If you want the present Democratic law to stand, vote for M. L.. Deathman for Representative and II. J. Wiggs for Senator.

ns atmitiiu wy live ami unresmeieo coiuage of silveit upon the basis existing prior to 1873-^lWmiomatic Platform.. Bv the above it trill be seen that the Democratic party, of this stale demands the free coiuage of the silver dollar. The Republicans oppose this idea and adopted a resolution favoring the bullion scheme, directed by the money power and passed by the Republican Congress some time ago. The position of the respective parties in it his state on this one question is plain evidence that the party of the people is Democratic. Jddoe Pabrett was the father of the only law made for the farmer last Winter. He is the Democratic candidate for congress, and will therefore get a good many farmer votes that he would not have got. lie. is the farmers' and laborers’ friend. He voted for the free coinage of silvir. and was the ruling spirit in getting the mortgaged indebtedness of the county put in the statistics. While Mr. Morgan is flaunting the bloody rag in order to defeat one of the best soldiers that ever carried a gun or had a leg shot off, lie had better take a copy of his court-house record and flaunt that in the faces of some of those who have been unfortunate enough to have business at the law. It would make “mighty interest in reading.” Colon Eh Weight says “both the old parties are corrupt.” He is the Republican candidate for congress. Now, if “both the old parties are corrupt,” is Colonel Wright not corrupt for accepting a nomination at the hands of the men whom he pronounced “corrupt ?” F.M.B.A’s. look out I You know what lias been the farmers’ ruin hertofore. The court house ring is mad—madder than a bull in a China shop, all because they can’t make the honest . voter believe that Dan C- Ashby is . a rebel. Be tbev ashamed? No; Are they honest in their opinions? , No; Will t hey succeed by falsehood ? , No; Will they defeat Dan? No. And you may smoke that in your political pipe. 2. T. Dearino was Humiliated foi [ Commissioner on the second ballott. Ho is one of tho men who has tin qualifications of honesty, economy and competency, and is in sympathy with the masses, and when elected, , for he will be, he will bo a blessing , to the taxpayers. ’ M.

The Pemcrat is now reedy to show from tfie records that the member* of' thQ Court-House Ring teil not a word of truth when they claim that the county debt has been diminished by them, and that (he debt was not, as they claim, 158,00000. Neither did they take charge ot affairs in 1836. It was iu 1887 that they took the county with $15,000.00 in the treasury. Talie from the debt on that day the $15,000.00 and it is found that not. any of the debt has been paid exeeyt by the money Democrats left them. Since then they hare collected some thirty thousand dollars more money than the Democrats did, and to do it tiicy raised taxes skv high. What did they do with it ? They did not pay this extra money on the debt, and made no improvements. The people want to kuow where the moots, and think a change is needed. We will meet you, bv and by! See the figures from the records, elsewhere in tliis issue. Judging from the Petersburg News, every one must conclude that the editor of the Democrat ought to be ly nehed. If half that paper prints were the truth the citizens would not let the editor of this paper live another day, and they ought not. The fact that the editor of the Democrat is still alive and is in the enjoyment of his fellowman’s respect ought to teach the editor of the News to be ashamed of himself. r George Loysj.ess is not pretty, but tie is a splendid scholar ami is therefore a good man to elec l commissioner. Jonathan J. Bowman’s qualifications for commissioner can- [ uot be questioned. Elect these men and the public crib will be guarded! from tlie avaricious. IJ. J. Wiggs, an F. M. B. A. man, Is the choice of the Pike count y Democrats for state Senator from Pike oud Knox counties. Elect him and all will be well, lie is a good man. O. O. Smith was a fit person to be nominated for treasurer! lie can give a bond as big as Pike county in less believes he will be elected. Vote for Dan C. Ashby. Pike county never bad a better or more accommodating Clerk than be will make. __ WiiKN John W. Stillwell becomes sheriff there will be no packed juries, for he is an honest man, and will do his whole duty. The enmity j.nil is in good fix and it has a number of inmates..

REPUBLICAN, »• hnt Me Thinks About Electing Horej U. S. Senator. The Republicans of Hits count)-, at their late conventions endorsed the administration of Gov. A. P. llovejr, and instructed their nominee tor Representative, in case of liis election, to cast his vote for him for United States Senator. By endorsing the administration of his excellency, and making no exception to any of bis acts, they thus uay he did right in all his official acts. Including his extention of clemency to the notorious Tom Aust, who committed one of the most unprovoked murders since the day L'ain killed Abie. Mr. James H. Humphrey, the man whom Aust killed, was a peaceble, harmless and inoffensive cUizen: and, besides, be was a good, true soldier of the late war for the union, and was shot through his hips in the battle of Perryviiie Ky., and made a cripple for life. He had to go on crutches, for he bad but little use of his legs, and when shot by Aust was on bis snitches. The only difficulty Humphrey rnd Aust ever had grew out of trivial matters that would not justify even a fist fight, rbe people who are well acquainted with the circumstances never attached any tilame whatever to Humphrey. After the murder Aust left the country, and the comnissiones of the county learning w here he. was, incured great expeses in sending men to bring him back; and in addition to this, Rev. John Ferguson paid out of his own pocket, a large sum, to aid in bringing the sold hearted murderer to justice. No person has ever said that Aust did not have a fair trial, or that jury did him injustice, ex;ept those who thought they ought to have rang the out-law: and if there has been any tircumstnnces that has occurred since the rial, tending to show the inuoceney of Suist, or anything more than was exhibited in the trial, the people of Pike county enow nothing about it; and therefore they were surprised when Aust was released from prison. It is very little use for the rood of the state to bring to justice bad men, if the governor takes it upon himself to parion such men as Tom Aust. Gov. Porter and Gray were both applied to pardon Aust, hut they refused to do so, m the ground that there were no mitigating circumstances in-his favor. Just why Gov. Hovey pardoned him is a treat mystery to the good citizens of Pike ronnty. Wo cannot think that it was liejause Aust was a Republican, nr that be was Imught; and we never can lie made to beliieve that his excellency was inn state rf intoxication at the time. So we are left to wonder! Whatever might have been his reasons ror the pardon of Aust. we think he deserves a severe rebuke ior that act. and we know of no better way to reprove hitn, than to vote for him for U. S. Senator.
