There will be a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee at Winslow, Saturday, August 11, at 10 a. in. for the purpose of arranging for the mass convention to be held August 18It is urgently requested that every member of the committee be present hot)) township and precinct, and also all candidates, both county and township. There is somo business to be transacted that necessitates a full attendance of the committee. Let everyone be prompt. M. L. Heathmax, Chairman. M. McC. Stoops, Secretary. [ Joint Senatorial t'ouYcntlon. The Democratic Joint Senatorial Convention, for the district composed of the counties of Knox and Pike counties, will be held at Winslow, Pike county, Indiana, on Saturday, August the 18th, 1894, at 11 o’clock a. in. for the purpose of nominating a Democratic candidate tor Legislature, from the district composed of the above named counties.

A. M. Yelton, Chairman Democratic Central Com. Knox county. M. L. Heathman, Chairman Democratic Central Com. Pike county. The editor of the Press asks the editor of this paper to name out one single individual connected with the court house ring. 1; is hardly necessary to he so plain about it as The People of the county are well aware of those who compose the clique who manage the nominations and deal them out in Pike county. Take for instance the convention two years ago when Hezekiah Cox, the loyal and old-time repudlican wheel-horse ot Logan township, was thrown overhoard by the Petersburg politicians. Then take for instance Emmet Smith. And then come down to the nominations this spring and look and see if the same clique did not take a very interesting hand in t)ic matter ot defeating certain candidates to give place to a few pets and hangers-on after office. And, again, the slate is made up for nominations two years hence and the same dealt out to “workers” who played their parts so well during the spring races. Oh, no, there is no ring or clique in the republican party that mav be rightly dubbed the “court house ring.” Their penchant for office and thq way they hang around is enough to entitle them to (hat cognomen. After indorsing the President and the Wilson bll', the democrats of Frederick county, Maryland, proceed to say: Third—That we demand that Arthur P, Gorman resign his seat In the Senate;|of tbe United States and give over misrepresenting an honest people in the Interest and for the benefit of himself, corporations, monopolists and trusts, and we pledge ourselves to leave nothing honest undone to oust him from the seat he disgraces should he fall to resign the same. 5

It the Senator from Maryland is tho politician he has had the credit of being, he will give heed to t^e uprising of his people against his course upon the tHritt bill. The democrats of his own state repudiate his conduct and clear themselves before the country ot all complicity with him. He has yet time and the opportunity to haul down his black flag aud make his retreat. Senators Gorman* McPherson and Smith arc hearing trout'their constituents. Manufacturers from New Jersey were in Washington on Tuesday and demanded ot Messrs. McPherson and Smith that they vote to put coal and iron ore on the free list or that they will move their concerns to the natural gas belt in Indiana aud Ohio. A lar&e steel manufacturing ^ concern of Baltimore visited'Mr. Got - j mou anu made the same statement to him. The Gorman crowd will surely give way if the home only stand ^rm. They could not face the overwhelming public opinion thftt would confront them if they dare to defeat tariff legislation to promote their personal interests. Nobody could dolt. Tnjd township trustees and school corporation treasurers held a meeting at Richmond looking to legal resistance to fire ruling Of the*attorneygeneral requiring that ^dr^tus tuition funds be returned to the state treasury. Nearly $29,000 is involved in Wavne county. If w»» ordered that this surplus be withheld for the present. - < [■*».. ‘

The populists state convention takes place next Tuesday at Indiapolis. Our populists friends of this county meet tomorrow at Window to nominate a county ticket. Reports from all points in Pike county indicate that there will be an immense attendance at the mass convention to nominate a county ticket. Let every school district organize and go to the convention. The voters of Pike count will nominate a tioket Saturday, Augue 18th in mass convention at Winslow. No ring or clique will control it, and besides the ticket nominated will stop the leaks of county finances. The Japanese and Chinese are making things rather lively for each other. The John Chinamen of this country are flocking to their native land by the hundreds to tako up arms against their rivals. Let ’em tight and have a royal good time. — The county convention, August 18th, will be the place to strike a lick at the rate of high taxation that is bound to come during ihe next ten years. Let every voter who is in favor of an economical expenditure of the county funds be present. The prohidition convention takes place at Winslow next Wednesday. A man by the name of Jones has been making speeches in this county and will continue to do so up to the time of the convention. He speaks in this city Saturday and Sunday. Democrats everywhere are standing bv the president and house of represeuatives in their defiance of tfe few senator who have undertaken to defeat the will of the voters of the country at the last election. There must be no backdown and the platform must and will be carried out to the letter. Give us foee raw materials and protection to no monopoly.

The democrats of Jefferson and Madison townships selected very strong tickets last Saturday to he voted tor at the November election. There is no dissatisfaction over the men selected and their election is assured. Six of the townships have now selected their tickets and Washington, Clay and Logan will follow in a short time after the couttty convention. A ruling oi the posioffice department is made public to the effect that postmasters shall not give cieditors or any others, the addresses ot persons who have changed their places of residence. It holds that the address is written but tor one purpose, to secure the delivery of matter on which it is placet!, and that the postmaster is presumed to have no knowledge of it for any other purpose. The democratic part\ of Indiana is responsible for the Australian ballot law, the tax law, the school book law and the fee and salary law. The republican press of the state has fought all «»f them, and yet they are the best measures today on the statute books of the slate. The tax law brought the corporations to time and made them pay their just share of taxation, and the school hook octopus was knocked higher than Gi Id e toy's kite.

The Press says there is no ring in the republican party of Pike county. It the editor remembers rightly he got left this spring when he tried to defeat Hon.yj. W, Wilson for chairman of the republican central committee. Of course the ring had no hand in electing Mr. Wilson, because his election was unaminous, but it shows that the editor had but very little influence with the committee and is not on the inside on ^partv business’* in this county. In the announcement column of today’s paper will be found that ot William E. Coe, the present efficient prosecuting attorney for the Eleventh judicial circuit. Mr. Cox has served the people in his present capacity fol* nearly two years and in that time has ably appeared and represented the state in several very important cases in this county. He is A good lawyer and hard worker and deserves a reelection by the people of the district, and will, no doubt, receive a bandsome majority at the November election. Let every democrat in Pike county be present at the piaSs cAmvetiou at Wiuslow, Saturday, August 18«h. for the purpose of nominating a countv ticket. ‘Take youv family with you aud be prepared to have an old-fash-ioned pibnic. There is no doubt but wflat there will he the largest assemblage of'voters ever See« at one* lime in Pike county. 'Evefy arrangement is being perfected to make it the largest* and most successful ■ gathering of voters ’ever held in this county, so come out and swell the crowd and nominate ft good ticket pn that day.
