For Next Vice President, ISAAC P..GRAY. For Next Gov. of Indiana, Wm. E. NIBLACK. How It SUads. The Republican ilefcat has been more than overwhelming. It is humiliating. Most of the Republican leaders in ttie present Congress(who for ten months carried things with, a high hand, claiming to otvn the land - ifend every body in it) are beaten, and •the few who pulled through have majorities so small that they appear •ridiculous. The house is Democratic flry over two-lliirds, while the senate is Rvpublican(jf jt is Republican at alt) only by rotfcn-boiimg Slates • that were admitted for just this emcr- , genov—Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho. Democratic control of both bra'nches of Congress, however, is assured in 1892, and the presidency is within grasp. Had a president been chosen last vote t he Democratic electorn) vote would have been 338 oagaiust a Republican vole of 82. Another such defeat kills the Republican party, and it is even now a probability Dial the high and low taritl' factions may split their next convention. Articles from eyerywhre say the '■p McKinley bill is catehing it hot and heavy among the Republicans, and many who tried to defend it now tavor its repeal. The scheme to put local elections under control of Federal returning hoards also comes in for a share of the condemnation, and it is hardly thought the present repudiated Congress will dare uass it next Winter in the fa^p of this mighty uprising of sou 111. a .-free people north and r ' '• These elections also, by the way, interfere somewhat seriously with numerous choice republican schemes new census, in connection with the apportion incut and gerrymanders—by which (hey counted on seizing an undue advantage for the next ten years. If the cast out and dying Republican |>owcrs can pause in “skullduggery” long enough to reflect, they will see (hat Democrats are just taking control of many extra States and that (lie U. b. Constitution says each ■State shall appoint presidential elec■rs“m such manner as (lie legisla- ■ thereof shall direct”—or words mutt effect.

■MtELL-WETHEK ItLAl'E. the resUof the Republicans are suffering fiem iho complete de,luoralizitiou of defea', Mr. Blaine i» “sawing wood.” He will make « bold stroke to take possession of what jis left of the Republican party, and if ^ anything can be done with it, to bring the' fragments together to his support. Hu anticipated defeat through the McKiidoy bill, and is already at work upon the plan which he thinks, if anything can save the party, will put iron its feet again. He is pressing negotiations with Brazil and other Spanish-Aincrieau countries,and with 8patn as to Cuba, and proposes to distract attention from the McKinley hill, if possible, this winter, by an agitation of bis great reciprocity scheme. It is said that ho will have the treaty with Brazil, and possibly other treaties, to submit to the Senate soon after Congress convenes. ^ The reciprocity amendment to the McKinley bill Mr. Blaine knows is a meaningless fraud, but be proposes * that some character shall be given to it, aud relies upon Congress to adopt such legislation oil the subject of reciprocity as is ncccessary to ids plans. Instead of modifying or repealing the McKinley bill, as the popular voice has demanded, the plan is to ... nullify it to some extent by securing free trade in raw materials of this continent and then to claim that this was a part of the original Republican program me. As a very warm frieud of Mr. Blaine's put il, “They thought 'they would put Blaine oil witli their sliaiu reciprocity amendment, hut he will get exactly what he wants from Congress on this line before be gets through with it.”

work. Iia<l i In* i* a very ingenuous way logoi away from the McKinley bill, but the chances are that it will not .The people in this counlrt have enough tariff revision“l>y its friends,” and now that they have asked for .tariff reform and reduction, they want ^lic Simon pure artiele, with I lie trade mark of the genuine tariff reformers on it. “Moses” Maine will not be able to lead the g. o. p. into the promised land. That paradise has already been pre-empted, lie lore the session opeus in December there will probably lie a conference of the Republican leaders held to discuss the situation. Mr. Harrison, feeling as lie does, that he made a mistake in not ailyiug himself more closely with Mr. lllaiue, and particularly lust lie missed an opportunity when he failed t<i send in Ids reciprocity message, will probably use his iuffueuce to assist that gentleman in carrying out his ambitious plan for the salvation of the Republican party. Rut this means more humiliation for Messers. Beet! and McKinley, who indicate that they are not disponed to accept the verdict of the people meekly, but will kick against the Neither of them will be ready to Mr. Blaine, and peril si«s may be eg pec ed to he parly already dispt;

to modify tlic predict i< 1892 made in hi* speed i concerning at Philadelphia, and he will not accept the nomination if offered him by the next Republican convention, unless lie is given a hand In the shaping of the party's course between mow and then. Give the people a reform in the tariff that will enable them to buy, without being taxed, the following: Binder Twine. Cotton Ties. Worsteds for clothing. Agricultural implements. Edged tools. Blankets. Coal. ' Tin and tin plate. Silver-bearing lead ore to re-cslab* lish our trade with Mexico. Lumber. Kitchen and table ware. If a bill were introduced in congress to put these articles on the tree list, or any one of them, defeat would hardly be possible,for t he Republican Senators from Western States iiave learned a great deal since the McKinley bill was framed. Pennsylvania would of course resist free coal, but New England would support it. So, tekt, would Illinois and Ohio, it it contained a "reciprocity clause giving our Western coal a chance to get into our section of Canada in exchange for giving New England free coal from Nova Seoiia. The White Lead Trust, the Binder Twine Trust, the Edged Tool Trust and the other monopolies thus attacked would of course use their combined influence against each and all of the bills, but failing of the sectional support they arc reinforced by on a general reform measure, they would not be able to defeat the strong Western demand for reform. < Most of the Election Boards of the country were Republican the Iasi election. The returns were honestly made from most places, but complaints have been made from a few. It is said that in one place in Pike county, where the Board was Republican, whenever a ballot happened lo be a Republican vole it was counted, no difference how much it was mutifomid on a mutilated ballot, it was thrown out every time, the Republicans over-ruling the Democratic member. Of course our information on ibis matter is not from sworn evidence, though we have the words of good men Tor it. If it prove true, an investigation should at once be made, a contest should lie resorted to, to give the Democrats control of the Board of County Coiutnissioneis .for tffe purpose of reducing taxation—a thing that the people greatly need; %ited: but if a Democtatic vote was

The people of Pike county need, in ever? community, a law and order committee—not a White Cap gang, but a number of peacahle, law-abiding, good men, organized with a full determination to put a stop to wholesale violations of the law ; to pay attention to men who go before Grand Julies and swear lies—to penitentiary such.; to see to it that boys under sixlccu have Ho tobacco sold to them, and that minors have no chance to buy intoxicants. The goody good souls of this world who do the largest and loudest complaining arc the very ones who are to blame for the very evils of which they complain. They expect other people than thew selves to regulate the laws, and thereby keep from their own dear sous and daughters (lie evil temptations of the age. Do something, or shut: up! We iiiu^t really request our friends who arc delivering us new potatoes in payment W their delinquent subscriptions to select sturdier yarities, if possible. They forget the only kettle that we have to eook them in is the same old tin dipper, suspended gypsy fashion to a tripod ou the tide flat under our composing room. It will not hold anything over nine inches in diameter, and this season these Willapa vgjley potatoes so far delivered are seldom under ten inches. This matter has caused us considerable anxiety. We don’t want to refuse the potaloe just ou the ragged edge of a hard winter, but we do want some discrimination made as to size, as we have no method of preparing giaut varieties.— South Bend Journal.

It was not done by stay-at-hotuc Republicans. Men wiio had before voted the Republican ticket last election voted the Democratic ticket. They do not want any more high tax in the Way of McKinley bills, nor do they want any Force Bills. There was too muchunigger in the Force Bill,” and tgo much tax in the McKinley Bill, and that is the hatchet that fell the political lr»e ot the Republican party. Republicans did it, for which they deserve credit. It is a healthy sign for a Republic like ours, whcii ineii enough to down an evil lay aside their predjudices long eiiouilh to accomplish so good a work aa relegating the peoples enemies to the rear. . i In explanation of the recent swell it is aaid by some, that it was because so many republican* remained at borne election day. Perhaps this will account for part of the big democratic majorities, but if.aH tlie republicans who went to the polls had voted the republican lieket things would have tieeu different.—Primetton Clarion.

THE GIRL ABOUT TOVN. What She Thinks of Juries and Those Who Go Before Them. Also An Opinion of Town L'onncilmcn and Their Doings* An4 a Theory of Mow Yount Men are Demoralised. Speaking of juries anil jurymen with on6 of my special friends caused me to look into the real meaning of what a jury is,as well as to study the character of those who are called before that august bpdy known as the • ifand Jury. My investigations disclosed to me that a Grand Jury, when composed of honest men, does its work strictly in accordance with the law and lets no guilty party escape if in its power to prevent; but, il composed- of dishonest men, it is a mere farce for ckiug out a spite on those whom its members may dislike, or for doing meanness to some one to please some one else. Grand Juries arc generally chosen of the. best citizens, and can not come in for] all the criticism that might be olicred for their failure to reform the community at the courts of justice. The men and boys who are brought before them are the parties to bhune in most instances. These men are summotiod before the jury because they are supposed to know of violations of }l>e law ; and they generally do; but, il you believe the orthodox religion, and would hear the men and boys testify before- the jury, you must conclude that hell is full of witnesses. Ajmnst nine tiipcs in ten these witnesses perjure themselves, and could be and would be peniteuliaried if the real truth were determined. And there is a reason wftjvi so many witnesses testify falsely: they arc often accessory to the crimes which their evidence should condemn. They buy whisky on Sundays, but they cannot remember it; they visit gambling dens, but they can’t remember it; they vit.it houses of prostitution, but they can't remember even that. In short, they can not “remember” anything, and are no safer as a witness against one whom they hate thau a dynamite bomb in hell, and are always willing to perjure their souls to hejp some one conceal a crime.

While I am in a humor for criticising, I might let town councils have a share, especially our own beloved In Petersburg. *The improvements have sometimes been forward and sometimes backward,. as it has ruined the property of some and improved the property of others: holes are digging out on main street, and, by Spring, will be deep as a well and broad as a river, so to speak. In some parts of town where walks arc least needed, they have been to reed down, while on parts of main street they have been sadly neglected. The only one on main street put down by force was a widow woman's, and she was dcfeuselcss. It a member of the board wants a walk where it will accommodate bint, be generally gets an ordinance to that effect. A few month’s ago Petersburgffiad. no dubt; the town lias been spoiled in many places, and a debt lias been made. Taxes are two dollars and nine cents on the hundred in Petersburg, besides a poll. Some day the people will wipe out mismanagement with an election sponge. On the demoralization of young men, I feel timid, but the truth shall make us free. The chief causes are three: in town are some four or live poker joints visited by a hundred and twenty men and boys seven days in the week; secondly, the boys, just at the age when drunkards are made, can get intoxicants in quantity, from a half-pony glass to a hogshead any day in the week; thirdly, there are houses of ill fame from which sally 6>rth in light and darkness characters whose very presence contaAiuate. Many hoys and young men come in coiithck with them, and, not having more moral courage than they need, are lead from bad to worse by those characters, (as described by Solomon) whose “feet take bold upon hell,” Whose “house is tiie road to hell,” aud yet we have Grnud Juries, the prosecutor in our midst, and a score of condemning citizens, and must put up with it all. Oh! for an organization of these so-called Christians to take observations and to prosecute the violators of law atkl the disseminators or crime! t»iNCK Ilia election the following has been going the rounds of the press: The voting's done, The tight was one, UuyieUling, cruel, flinty. And some have gut The places sought, had some are with MeUioty.

Jack K<*Ian, of 'Vanderburgh. All good timber, and sure winners.—Mt. Vernon Democrat. - If Mr. Richardson is a candidate, Pike can be counted.for him right now. For a home man always, when he is in every way so well qualified. The Democrat desires to go on record as predicting that Commissioner of Pensions Katun was deposed before the election, and that liis removal was kept a secret for political purposes. It will not be long until another commissioner will be appointed. Hope the president will lie able to find a competent, honest man, though be have to come to the Democratic parly to find him. The- poor people have already rcmcniiiered the McKiuly bill, which will rob them of many of necessaries of life, and now the President calls on the whole people to remember the poor at Thanksgiving. This is well —both acts or Christian ; but why did noMbc President remember the poor when he signed the McKinley Hill ? Verily, the President has made himself a mockery.

IIked must retire from the speakership ; Installs can not be returned to the senate; and McKinley is beaten; the Democratic majority in the states that voted is 700,000; the adding of this to the farmer vote, which is Democratic on the tariff, and the majority reaches well nigh 1,000,000. This is glory enough /or the people in one election. Keep up the good work. . ' * T*.

Thaxksuiviku this year will be on the 27lh inst.

The so-eal!ed*‘solid noith,” itarped on by politicians with axes to grind, elected 121 Democratic congressmen to 83 Republicans. Ilow McKinley was defeated—by the rotes Warwick got, and that’s the whole truth. Ixihaxa went 20873 for one of the Democratic candidates. Fresco Items, UtrwEU,.
