At a meeting of the democratic dlsftrict committee, held In .^he city of of Evansville, April 20, it was unanimously ordered that a democratic congressional convention be held at Kockport, Thursday, £iay 24, at 2 p. m. to nominate a candidate tor the Fifty-fourth congress from the First district of Indiana. The basis of representation it oue delegate for each 100 votes and fraction in excess of 50 votes, cast for Claude Matthews ,fpr Governor, as follows: County. Votes.

Shanklin, Chairman. Jacob M. Harlem, Secretary. Patoka Township Democrats. The democrats of Patoka township will assemble at Winslow on Saturday May, 19, 1894, for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. r < .-rjLet every demount of the township present to nomiuate .a strong* picket P. H. Beatty, Chairman. * Tjie campaign has been opened by '^he republicans in Pike county. Music and red fire to the tune of “After the Bawl.** hoisted The Pike county I^kvocbat e its rooster.—Lynnvilie Chronicle. 1 Yes, and we are raising one hundred more fqr fjall crowing. * The healthy /arm-yard kiug is the chap that /‘wakes yon up so parly ip the morn. ___ The democrats ot Fike county will pot take a backseat this fall. The Jjallot-box at the November election will tell the tale of what the people think of taxation. The people pay the taxes, rememper that, as you go

Thebe is a possibility of the democratic county primary election being ^held sometime the latter part of August. There are very few candidates and the friction will be very slight. ^There is no question of a victory in the election this fall provided a clean cut ticket composed of good men is ijomiuated. There are a few U. S. senators yrith democratic proclivities who peed to go*behind some barn on a dark night and throw mud at themselves. * The People arp tired of the wind-jamming process and want action taken on the tariff bill and that jit once. Give us a tariff measure and that at a 2 :06 gait. Speakino of this and the other thing The Pemocbat is still the largest paper published in Pike county, and each week contains more reading matter of a local aad political character than all others. The subscription price remains tho same, $1.25 per year. Send in your quarters and get the news of your home and county. YkbTerday our republican friends nominated a county ticket by the primary system, and as we went to press for this issue a great wrangle is poing on on the streets. The fight beep a very bot one and much pifter feeliug has been apparent for sometime past between friends of the various candidates. Next week we Trill give a full account of the affair. There is a great deal of complaint being made in some certain republican quarters that there has b been enough money collected from the couuty and township candidates to make a good sized campaign fund. Well, its none of our business how much was collected or what Is done with it. But then we jnay add that the surplus might be turned over to the orphans home or ladie’s aid society* i It has just leaked out that Nick £nsley, the soldier candidate for plerk of the supreme court before the republican state convention, was knocked out of 100 more votes than lies*, who was nominated, received.

over the mistake made by some person although they are not able to say where the blame belon. s. Nevertheless there seems to be a trick somewhere. Coxxr and his gang of hobos and tramps have regchefl Washington City and gone into vamp. All that is uow necessary is for tlig authorities to get a few car loads of stoue and put the .gang to work cracking them and in forty-eight hours there will not be one toft in that city to tell tbe tale. ^___ The Press last week came out in a reduced form. During tbe past year the paper has made three changes in makeup and size and finally euded in a reduced form. Nevertheless we wish the boys ' success, financially and otherwise. The Press is ably conducted and one of the best republican papers in the district. Frank Uieubing, of Winslow, pulled out of the race for clerk before tbe republican primary at the last minute, and the way the other two candidates when they heard the news began to make the brush crack in his territory was a caution to behold. There is no question but what Mr. Hearing would have polled a good vote had be slaved in the race. To-day is general “I told You So’s” day. He can tell you just how such and such a man was defeated at the republican primary yesterday. The candidate can also tell you that lie expected to get the vote in such a neighborhood, but that they sold out at the last minute. “By heviugs I had the uame of every voter ip that precinct pledged to me sure.” They didn’t count. £ From all parts of the county comes the word 01praise in the wise selection qf the "new democratic central committee. The committee is one of the strongest ever selected, being workers and inert of executive ability. Already our ! republican friends are quaking in thqi.r (boots realizing the fact that the comply wilj poll a large democratic vote, j,nd .eject a straight ticket at the fall election. Push forward. Dubjng last week some very sensational reports were sent out to the metropolitan papers in regal'd to the miners strike. Tppy vyrere not only damaging to the operators but to the strikers as well. Boys, in your eagerness to m.3£e £ quarter send out true statements. The Cincinnati Post and Enquirer contained very sensational accounts a]t>oqt “blud,” when in fact there was not the least sign of trouble at any time.

The law fixing qualifications necessary to entitle citizens to vote provides that every male citizen of the age of tweuty-pnejrears and upward, who shall have resided m the state six months, and in the towuship sixty days. and in the ward or prencinct thirty days, immediately preceding such elections, shall be entitled to vote. To vote a straight ticket, you should make one mark, inside the the square containing the device. If you mark the square containing the device, and then mark the same ticket auy where else your vote will be lost. 0 - The State Board of Health cites as its authority for ordering people to j -be vaccinated the following extract) from SectiOu 9 of the act of 1891 establishing a State Board of Health : It shall be the duty of state boards of health to promulgate and enforce the rules and regulations of the state board of health In their respective counties which may be Issued from time to time for the preservation of the public health and for the prevention of epidemic and contagious diseases. And the secretary of any board of health who shall fell or refuse to promuilgate and enforce such rules and regulations and any person or persons, or the officers of any corporation, who shall fail or refuse to obey such rules and regulations shall bp deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $100, and upon a second conviction the court or jury trying the cause may add imprisonment in the connty Jail for any period not exceeding ninety days.” Republicans cry hard times, panic and Uoxey’s army and lay the cause of it to democratic legislation. It is truly funny to hear the cheap talk of these two-ter politicians. The democratic congress has so far repealed the Sherman purchase clause and the Force election law There has been no tarift laws passed, and if there was there would be uo depression in business whatever.Tbe trouble with the country now is that we have had too much of the McKinley tariff legislation. It has brought on what is termed by the republicans, hard times. By the laws passed by the republican congress pauper labor has been brough* to this country. The people at the present time are just where vicious legislation has put them, and a strong demand is now

made by them tar relief and a repeal of tbe McKinley tarii laws. This will be done by the present congress. The people will on y get relief through Use democratic party. The correspondent for the Cincinnati Post from this city or county should pat a ipppber on his pencil for a short time or until he can send out some truthful statetpeuts in regard to affairs that occur in this section. The people are getting tired of the notoriety given them and the city. Some of the ’'republican politicians of Pike county seem to be at sea as regards the coming election in this connty. They admit that it will be a hard fight for them to elect any part ot their ticket, giving as their reason tbennrest among tip people because of the high taxation. Tp be candid about the .matter they see the handwriting on therwall. Next Mouday occurs the town election for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year] There are two tickets in the field.A straight republican ticket and the citizen’s ticket, which contains the names of all on the other ticket with the exception of the candidate for marshal. Hiram Gentry’s name appears on the citizen’s ticket while tbyt of John Read is on the republican ticket. The race is for marshal and nothing else. ISubscription money it needed at this office. Many persons who have premised to settle during the past few months have neglected to do so. On account of large expense recently contracted this delay is very inconvenient to ut. It is to he hoped that all delinquents will give this notice immediate attention. . M. McC. Stoops. These cheap politicians who “cover” store boxes and cracker barrels and cry hard times belong to that class who never work but belieye their wives owe them a living. They talk about low wages and no money, but if you were tp offer them $2 per day and a chroino at the end of a month, they would surely never secure the latter. Four davs would be about as long as their health would perrait^hem to labor. This is the class that yell hanj times and for the issuance of more money, thinking that the government would send them a few hundred to keep them in their idleness. Well, the government don’t do business that way. If you would hav<» more money and better times get out and sweat for it. You cannot secure money without labor and the world owes no man a living but he . paust hustle for it. Hard times is a bv-word with our republican friends when their party falls down at an election. It is the small try republican politicians that cry hard times, and lead some people to believe in it.

“Keep it out of the paper” is the cry which the newspaper publisher daily hear. To oblige often costs considerable, though the party who makes the request does not realize it. A newspaper is a peculiar piece of property in the public’s eye. The news gatherer is stormed at because he gets hold of one item and is abused because he does not another. Young men and often young women, as welt as older persons, perform acts which become legitimate items for publication, and £hen rush to the newspaper office and beg the editor uot to notice their escapades. The next day they condemn the same paper for not havii g published another party doing the same thing they were guilty of. forgetting, apparently, their late visit to the printing office. The subscribers expect to read the news and there is always wonder when any one of these items fail to appear in he next issnq. Excessive temperature the first part of the week, with much rain in most counties, were very beneficial to vegetation in general, bnt most so in crops which had suffered by the cold weather. The latter part of the week cold temperature prevailed.. Wheat having recovered from the bad effects of the cold weather, rye, grass, late sown oats, potatoes, n fact everything, is now reporter nearly everywhere to be in a most promising condition. The frozen oats and defter have been replaced. Jfrom nearly all counties it is reporter that frnit, except peaches, has been injured far less than first anticipated. The bloom is coming out on some plum, cherry, pear and apple trees. Plowing and planting corn was interrupted by rain a few days; in some counties it has fairly begun; in others it is about finished. Farmers ns more hopeful and confident of gooo crops this week than they have been qnce the middle of March. »

Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of 1235 Harrison St, Kansas City. He is an old euflerer from inflammatory rheumatism, bat has not heretofore been troubled m this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and In conseqnence has had another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,’1’ he said My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and esse the pain, aiid,vo my agreeable surprise it did both, i have used three Afty-cent bottles and believe- it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.

It is not generally known what a vast plant it requires to uublish and circulate a metropolitan newspaper. The Chicago Inter Ocean has in its Circulation Department alone nearly one hundred men and women, not to mention the carriers who deliver the paper to all parts of the city before breakfast every mofning. It may be mentioned that no kind of weather, however severe, is permitted to interfere with this delivery in any way. Of this large force, about onehalf of them work through the day at ordinary office or clerical work and the other half begin late at night and work until about daylight, prepariug and addressing the wrappers, counting and wrapping, the papers, ‘-routing” and mailing the bundles. Their work is of the most difficult nature and is done in the quickest possible manner, aud yet so well is it done that it seldom happens that a single bundle or paper of its immerse edition of nearly 100,000 reaches its destination on other than the right train and at the right?time, unless delayed by accident. The system is wonderful and its operaiiou almost perfect. Go to H. H. Tisiow for all kinds of watch §nd q!ock repairs, 28*
