Read the democratic platform as adopted by the s»ate convention in anothei* column of today’s paper. r ——mmm— In another column we publish biograpical sketches of the nominees on the state ticket. Read them audfind but just who they are. «•••• —■—— The democratic ticket is a good one from top to bottom, and was nominatee by the largest convention of vrfHfers ever held in Pike county.

The campaign will open in earnest in Pike county in a few weeks. The democrats are making a strong effort an^ with the splendid ticket nominated will do battle to the finish. The Japs and Johns are still fighting. The last battle took place at *\Vei Hai Wei, and the Johns were knocked out. Both sides now want 'mouey to carry on the war. They ban no doubt secure it. Forty millions of dollars was saved to the people by the present congress. Uarge appropriations were cut and the gang of hangers-on at the capitol have been dismissed. No work no pay is the motto of the preset# administration. The Jasper Courier in an article on the white cap case intimated that the jury had been fixed. We want to say right here that the jury that tried Button was composed of the best men that Piro county possesses. The ar tide was a base slander on Pike coun- .. ty citizenship, and the editor should correct his statement at„ once. The people of the United States are living Under the same laws that existed three years ago, and yet our republican friends would claim that the panic was brought bn by democratic legislation. What nonsense. The ^IcKinb’y tariff law }s still in force and will remain so until January, 1895, a lid until that.time opr republitairfrinnds should lay lowi ‘ ; " ‘ Gtt* *.*■»* *»-.-*• +■»■*-*** *-v » • .

The democratic convention to nominate a county ticket has been held. The convention was a large oue and did its business up in a business-like manner, and ha* made no mistake in the nominations. Each and every one strong, individually, and collectively speaking, the strongest ticket ever placed before the voters of Pike countv. They will go before the people on their merits, not as a clique or backed by money consideration. They are not men of wealth or political tricksters. Many of them did not seek a nomination to any positiou, but were selected by The People for their business quali^i* cation and good citizeuship. ' Every candidate selected has the reputation of being a straightforward cilizeo in the section in which he lives have the good endorsement of their friends regardless of party afliliatious, which speaks volumes lor them. For the most part they are young men of sterling worth, who have made their way through life by hard knocks, but by perservance and hard labor have gained for themselves the reputatfon of being hustlers in all that that word may imply. They were raised upon the farm, and many of them still remain iu that calling of life. Not for years has there been such a ticket presented to the voters of Pike county for their suffrage at the polls. Every man is capable of filling the position to which they have been nominated with credit/to the people and to themselves. The nomiuees are satisfactory to the voters, and we predict the election of every man nominated.

Four tickets are now before the people of Pike comity for their votes at the November election. Only one nt which pledges itself to look after the best interests df the tax payers of Pike county. The republican party make no pledges of any kind, but go to the people as an exponent of high taxation and 'he grabbing of all that comes within reach. The People at the November election will be called on to test the case. Capt. VVelton, of Knox county, has been endorsed by his county for the republican nomination for joint senator of Knox and Pike counties. Doc Bet hell of this county wants the nomination. Fight on. The case is to be laid before the state republican committee for their consideration. There Is fun ahead and in which some of Doc’s political enemies are taking a hand. Thk soldiers of Pike .oonnty had better look out. One of those special pension detectives has been stationed at Petersburg— Lynnvllle Chronicle. Well, well. Go away from home to learn the news. There is no special detective in this place, but there is a special pension examiner hefe, and who has done more in working up the intricate claims of the old veterans thau has been done for ten years before. __ The populist senators, Allen, Kyle, Pefler and Stewart, have by their votes shown that they are in direct sympathy with ail trusts. They have voted against their own platform and joined in with their republican friends at all points when The People’s interest was at stake. They nave hoodooed their populist brethern. Yea, verily, thov have been “sugared.”

It is now time to consider home questions, the leading one of which is where does your money go that is paid by you as taxes. Pike county’s tax levy should be reduced for the coming year at least twenty cents on the hundred. Will It be reduced or will it be raised that amount? It is hat'd to tell what will be done, If one had an idea that the demo^ crate were all dead in Pike county bis illusion would have been dispelled last Saturday by attending the convention. Pike county is lighting ground, and don’t you forget It. When the health-spoking citizen of Jasper strolls down Broadway from the Soldiers’ Monument, eyeing askance, as he is about to turn to the right down “Medicinal Avenue” he sees the following sign upon the front of the residence of ‘'Uncle Pike Countj Bill Hays” : . • .*. No Tresspassing on these : Urounds. W. Hays. : A few feet from* the sign are the most luxurious grapes hanging in great bunches. This explains it all. His mouth ‘'waters” as ot yore, and he wishes he was a boy again. With his manhood he downs the temptation walks on down >0 the gas well and drinks its waters for his “stomach’s sake.”— Huntingburg Argus.

J. 8. DAILEY. J. S. Dailey, candidate forjudge of the supreme court, is the present incumbent of that office, having been appointed by Governor Matthews a little over a year ago to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Waiter S Olds, who resigned. Judge Dailey was at the time judge ot the Wells circuit court. Hfe is a man who is tearless of public opinion iu the face of convictions which he holds are correct. His opinion in the Stehlin liquor case has made him some enemies, but is not doubted that when it is considered that he rendered the decision according to what he believed to be the law, he will make rather than lose support. ,

- CAPT. W. R. MYERS. William R. Myers, candidate for secretary of state, is at present the incumbent of that position. He was born in Clinton county, Ohio. June 12,1836. 11 is father, Samuel Myers, was reared a qnaker and was a descendant of the Huguenots of South Carolina.

He was a gallant soldier and participated in many battles. Ui on returning from the army he began the study of law and was admitted to practice in 1870. Up to 1869 he was allied with the republican party, but being convinced that he was wrong he united with the democrats. In 1872 he took the stump tor Greeley. In 1878 he was a candidate from the Sixth district for congress and was elected in 6pite of the fact that the district had always previously given republican majorities. In congress ho was industrious and soou earned a reputation as a close observer , and indefatigable worker. He is an odd fellow aud has occupied the highest office in the order. In 1882 he was elected secretary of state aud re-electud in 1884. In 1888 he went down with his party as a candidate fo lieutenant-governor. Ue was re-elected as secretary of state in 1892.

Branch and the uorthern Indiana normal at Yal* para iso. Up to 1885 he was engaged in teaching school, the successful career in whieb eminently qualified him for the office of county superintendent, which office he was elected to in 1891 and again in 1893. After quitting school teaching in 1885 he engaged in the newspaper business, editing several local papers successfully, taking charge of the Sullivan Times in 1888- His success with that paper has been almost phenomenal, and only accounted for by his hard work, close application and native ability.

He is considered one of the most valuable members of the association. lie is an able debater, and is a prominent member of several orders and is held in high esteem by all classes.
