Patoka Township Democrats. Tlie democrats of Patoka township ^yritt assemble at Winslow on Saturday May, 19, 1894, for the purpose of dominating a township ticket to be jroted for at the November election. jt*ct every democrat of the township jbe present to tiomiuate a strong picket. P. U. Beatty, Chait raau. With this issue closes volume ^CXIV of Tjik Democrat. Out* republican friends are not jollifying over the noininaiious made last week. . . J I Ji.-J.L- • Have you figured opt thp result ? .The vote by prpcinets will be found on another page. P^ss the Wilson tariff bill, the .country has already had enough of j,he McKinley bill. WhatJ^ the total indebtedim>sb of I Petersburg? tyhat is the extent of tfie floating orders. Savi You can now see the work of the ‘‘Big Four” and the “Slick Six.” It worked admirably. “Done uj>” in the house of his friends. This will apply to—well it don’t make much difference. i‘Af*fER the Bawl is pver,” then comes the time for the boys to explain just how they were nominated^ at the republican primary election, Coxeyism is about once through. Tramps and hobos will not run the country just at the present time. The authorities should set down on the movement. '• In the city election Monday Olipliant, Van Nada and Goodria had a very easy time of it, “they having no opposition. It was a fight only for marshalship of the town of Petersburg. Bedeye was worth several votes }n some precincts in Pike county.. This was demonstrated last Thursday. Qf course no one but democrats would do such a thing as that. No re|>nblicau would think of' doing such a thing. Oh no. The republican primary election demonstrated the fact that the straight old-line party workers aye not in it and must take a back seat, while the converts get the places. A republican that has always been true »o his colors from his first vote is always set down on. Certaiuly. John Young, who was defeated at the lepuhlican primary election last week for the nomination of clerk, can . vyelj feel proud of the splendid vote he received at the hands of his republican friends, taking into consideration the many campaign reports set afloat on the eye of the election. There is nothing to he ashamed of in j^he vote received. . the Hon.'Lewis Loveless, of Logan township, was not nominated for the small of^ce of commissioner. Why? be has voted thy republican ticket foy forty years or more, and was for piany years the only campaign orator pf the republican party in Pike connt\. Neither of his opponents were in service auy yet they received

more voles. Of course (he republic I can party Is the friend of the soldier, but only for his vote and nothing more. The contract, was fulfilled and Woolsoy received the nominal ion for ..auditor. It was only at the last hour that the iufluenee was brought to bear. Coxetism is the legitniale result of the paternalism taught by McKinley and his tribe of plutocrats. Protec* , lion to manufacturers is the surest way to pauperize labor. Someone is responsible for the defeat of Gladish and Carlisle for commissioners. Don't lay the blame or any part of it on the democrats, as they were defeated solely by republican votes. | The Press this week will cry harmony aud the wisest selections ever made by the voters of the republican party. It will even go so far as to say that there was no “dirty work” done against any candidate. Of course it will. . Ras Johnson, town trustee, was nominated for township trustee by the republicans of Washington township. Novy, as a member of the town trustees, Rastus will please tell the people how mueh the town debt is, and how much it has increased duriug the past two years? It would be good politics.

Pkculjak things tio«k plare just before the republican primary election. In a few respects the jail question cut some figure with a few of the candidates. The result can be figured out In the table in another column. Many of the candidates made that an issue for a nomination. And still it was a fight among the republicans. The days are growing brighter and brighter for the democracy of Pike county and the First congressional district. There is a great deal of hustling being done in the county and district by our republican friends to heal up all the old sores made during the past four or five weeks, but they seem to be breaking out in new spots. * Coxey and his common-wealers are not in the race at all. The political scheme will fall flat to the ground. Our friends, the republican leaders, are resort iug to very low methods at the present time. to bring discredit upon the present administration, but the pitrd6 will not come their way, amj besides it is getting to be very dangerous work. We have been noticing for sometime that pur young friend Samuel Marsee vyas drifting into politics. Last Thursday the colonel was nominated by the republicans for the office qf constable of Washington township- And If a republican is to be elected we would just as soon see Sam dop official robes as not. By the way Sam is a printer. And still the republican medical pensiou board at Washington City are allowed to remain and order old veterans pensions suspended. Firq ahem out and stop tfie suspension of pensions It is simply a republican scheme tp make political thunder. Republicans are republicans for office, and that's one of the ways ol getting there. Fire the rascals out. Sometimes a newspaper may go a little too tar in supporting candidates for county office. Had the Press been silent on the subject Carlisle and Gladish would have beeu renominailed for commissioners. How will the Press explain these matters away this week ? Hoke Smith had nothing to do with this matter. It was all within the lines of the republican party. ^ Benjamin Harrison charged the present conndition of affairs to the democratic party in his late speech at Indianapolis, notwithstanding the fact that his secretary of the treasury had the plates engraved for a bond issue, and he had frequent official conferences on the subject of the financial condition of the country. With these fac|s in view Ben. Harrison is sipiply a demagogue when he ascribes our ills to democratic rule. Wash Carlisle, county commissioner, ipust have been surprised when fie received the returns from his own fownship. Ife has lived in Lockhart township nearly all hi$ life, and for sopie reason or o*her he only received sixteen votes in that township, And for that matter in Mat ion.. M'-nroe, Patoka, Logan and Lockhart he only received twenty eight votes. The |*etei>burg Press blowed long and strong for Mr. Carlisle a few weeks ago. Was his defeat due to the Press’s frantic efforts in his behalf ? The Press may answer or let the job aloup.

It is to be greatly regretted that the city is not ir. that condition whereby an additfcn tp the present school building can be built. The present building ia eu&ely too small te accommodate all the school children and give them the proper instructions. At least three more teachers should be employed in the schools. There should be some means devised by the town council whereby this obstruction can be removed during the coming year and a new building or an additiou built next year. It is an admitted fact that each teacher in the public school, and especially In the lower grades have too many pupils and cannot give them the proper attention that they should have, where if two or three more teachers were employed the lower grades might be divided. It is a great draw-back at the present time that our beautiful little city is in its present financial strait, and cannot issue more bonds with which to build the proposed addition.

From the republic*!! party the common class ot the American people expect no aid. The record of this party for the past thirty years shows that in almost every instance the laws enacted by it has been in favor of tlie rich and against the poor. The wealth of the country is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals for which the republican party is wholly resftonsible. In 1893, the people from all over the country arose in their might and swiped that corrupt party from the iace of the earth and placed the democratic party in full control of the law making powers. They were tired of supporting a party that had no regard for the welfare of those who clothed it with authority. Time, and time agaiu, had they been given promises by the party bosses, only to be broken as soon as the heat of the campaign was over. The legislation was in the interest of the moneyed men of the east, rich manufacturers and trusts, who in turn paid princely sums to the national republican committee to corrupt the ballot box and thwgrt the will of the masses. It was for this thiug that the people dislodged the republican party aud placed the democratic party in power. The latter party made promises that satisfied the people, and in the belief that their pledges would be carried otit the voters rallied to its support and gave it one of the most decisive victories ever won by any party in the history of the country. What is to be said of the fulfillment of those pledges? So far as the lower house of congress is concerned there is hut little to complain of. A tariff bill, satisfactory to the people, has been passed and other reform legislation cousumated iu conformity to the party pledges; but the Senate is acting a lie. Such senators as Bribe, Gorman and of hers, who were sent from states, the party platforms of which pledged to the people reform end better times, have uuited with republican senators on the tariff aud money questions and have utterly blocked legislation in the face ol appeals fWni the masses from every section of*the country. |n view of this state of things is the sweeping victory of the republican party to be wondered at. 1: is npt brought about because the people have faith in the republican party to give the country any reform measures, bin simply to punish the democratic party for its failure to carry out its pledges. These pledges wopld be carried out to the letter was it not for about* six members of the senate. Thus the whole parly must be hold accountable, for the acts of these few’ men. The punishment is oqyrect. If a party camtot make good its promisee the whole people will have no use toy it. It is not tod late for the party to heal up all old sores, and yestore itself to power and in the confidence of thp people, but it must do something, and that, too, very soon.
