Eh* gifc* County gmotrat Br M. McC. STOOPS. I_:_ y^g- The Pike Count; Democrat Has the larueat circulation of anj newspaper published In Pike Count}! Adrertisers will Hake a note of this tact! Entered at the postofflce In Petersburg for transmission through the malls as secondclass matter. F1JIDAY, NOV. 17. 1893. » The elections last week demonstrated the fact that the third partyites are fast playiug out. In Kansas, the home of the populist movement, they met a general Waterloo, similar to that given the democrats in Pennsylvania. Put two political parties pan stand find weather the storm, and you must choose between the republicans find democrats at the coming elections in 1891 and 1896, Some of pur republican exchanges < seem to take much pleasure in repeating that “we” carried Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Iowa and other states that have been castiug large republican majorities for the last century. To read some of these papers one would be led to believe that they bad all been simon-pure democratic states. If they were we have never heard of it. The democrats have in some instances elected governors in those states through republican dissatisfaction, but that is all. It will be gratifying to his constituency to rpad the following extract, concerning the lion. Arthur H. TayJor, taken from a private letter to a gentleman in this city from one of the most distinguished lawyers of a neighboring state: “Father has just returned from Washington. He had a conference with your Hon. A. H. Taylor and says the Jivansville district did itself honor in seudiug such a man to congress.” Mr. Taylor has made a decided impression upon —representatives from many of the states east and west as well a6 south, as the Pourier happens to know from a number of sources. He gives his entire time to the discharge of his official duties. Perhaps no representative in the present congress hq.s accomplished more fpr his constituents, and Mr. Taylor’s friends at home appreciate his ability and strict attention to official duties-—Evansville Courier. Judge Daii.ey, of the supreme court, has passed upon the validity of the bribery clauses of the Australian ballot law passed by the general assembly of 1889. The law was an act to secure the purity and freedom of ' _

the ballot, and provided tnat auy person who attempted to bribe a voter could be made to forfeit the sum of $300 to the person approached, together with attorney’s fees. The case passed upon by the supreme coiirt was brought from Warren county on appeal. Peter Schoonover, candidate tor clerk of the court of Warren county, In 1890, was charged with having paid one Charles Beedle $10 for voting for him. Beedle instituted suit for $500,. as declared by law, but the circuit couyt declared the act not valid. Judge Dailey declares that the law is valid, aud holds that the legislature possessed ample power to create a remedy for Wrongs which at common law were without redress. The act of 1889 was to suppress the traffic in votes, which atthat time was punishable, but it was difficult to enforce the law. Publio sentiment was in favor of more striugent laws iH this direction, and this sentiment was strongly augmented by the numerous charges of corruption and fraud. The judge holds that there is no logical escape from the conclusion that the statute Is constitutional. The Evansville Courier in commenting on the recent elections has the following to say in regard to the past and future of the democratic party aud its representatives, which is well worth heeding: “For the first time in more than thirty years the democrats have the president, the seu&te and the house of representatives. This gives them the power to enact legislation such as the country needs and was promised by the Chicago convention qf last year. There was no doubt as to what the denigration ot that convention meant during the campaign which followed. Democratic speakers and newspapers discussed them unequivocally aud withou.t any, doubts as to their intent. Yet the momeut that congress assembles the party divides in both houses and the votes of republican senators aud representatives are necessary to carry through a measure to which the rank and file of the party in the states of the west and south were opposed. How long can the democratic party expect to maintain its organization upon these terms? What hope Is there for the continuance of the party in power if the factional spirit that has manifested itself during the first months of the party’s restoration to the control of the government is to be cherished ? When cougress meets in regular session the democracy will expect its representatives at Washington to meet aud decide upou a course of

action. Whatever a majority of the caucus agrees upon must be accepted and supported by every democrat in either house of congress. We cannot see how there can be any vital differences of opinion among them. All subscribed to the principles enunciated at Chicago ahd asked the suffrages of their states and districts upon those principles. There has been no change in popular opinion since the elections of a year ago. The people are still iu favor of a tariff for revenue only and of the repeal of the federal election law. They are also in favor of free coinage of silver as may easily be discovered by any ono who cares to investigate the subject. If the democratic majority of both houses of congress act together and carry out the pledges that were made at Chicago a little more than a year ago we shall continue to hold the government. If our representatives fail in this plain duty to the people the democracy will be retired at the elections of 1894 and 1896." The ac'ion of the late lamented legislature against the press of the state, refusing to pass laws just to newspaper proprietors as to other men, has aroused the ire of the entire state press, Democratic, Republican or otherwise. At the semi-aunual meeting of the Southern Indiana Press Association at Washington last Tuesday, the question was ably discussed and the iniquitous laws aimed specially against the press roundly denounced. A committee of the ablest journalists in tht state was appointed to have drafted, and urge in their passage, jnst laws, placiug newspaper men in the same legal position that other men enjoy. In addition to the appointment of this committee, to show their earnestness in the cause and their determination to fight to the bitter end, and to engage the entire press of the state iu the fight, they unanimously adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That this association in appointing^ a committee to have our libel laws amended, do hereby ask all other press associations in the state to appoint a like committee to act in conjunction with the committee from this association, in the interest of the newspaper fraternity of the state.—Madison Democrat.

Hurrah For Indiana. Yes, Yes! Everyone knows that Indiana is the home of the whitecaps, and that 5 o’clock teas and Eastern “culchaw” are but mildly prevalent in certain sections of the state.
