He is the man to serve as clerk of the Pike circuit court. Down with the ring who control the republican nominations for county offices. If you are not a member of that faction you are not in it.

Hemenway is right on Taylor’s trail.— Press. He will still be on Taylor’s trail on election day, but a good distance behind. As a boon, to labor the last Democratic legislature passed 4he employes co-liability bill, though opposition to it was made a party policy by the Republican caucus, Vote for Pat Beatty for treasurer. He is a plain every day farmer and a hard working man, who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. He js popular at home and all over tlie county. School patrons ot Pike county if you want the school book law of Indiana to stay on the statute books and save you tens of dollars eacti year vote for D. Q. Chappell and W. A. Cullop. The republican party have Renounced it and will repeal it. Vote for Frank Bildet'back for; auditor, tie has made the tax-payers an accommodating official. His record js clean and there is no charge against j him for extra services. lie has done the work in the auditor’s office for the past four years and has never j been allowed a farthing for e$tra j

TAX-PA YERS ATTENTION. For the purpose of informing the democrats of Pike county as to the effect of the new tax law a reporter of The Democrat called at the auditor’s office this week and the tax .duplicate* for 1890-1 disclosed the following facts: The assessed value of the E & 1. railroad in Pike county in 1890 under the old tax law was 142.450.00. In 1891 under themew democratic tax law It was #127,611 or an increase of $85,161.00; or $261 more than three times as much as under the old law. In 1890 the combined valuation of the E. & I. and Air Line railroads under the old law was $107,260 00. In 1891 under the new democratic tax law it was $278,460.00 an increase of taxable valuation under the new tax law on these two roads of $171,200.00; or two and three-fourths times as much as under the old law. An increase of over $3,000.00 paid into the treasury of tour county by the railroads and thus saving that amount to the farmjers. This is the tax law that the republican platform denounces as ‘‘infamous” and pledge themselves to repeal it. The republican party has always considered everything infamous that makes rich corporations pay their just portion ot taxes. If you want it repealed, vote the republican ticket. Our republican friends would not allow a joint debate to take place in Pike county for fear of letting the people know iust where they stand on all public questions. Thqfquesiioa has been put to thorn on several occasions and they have never replied “yes” -or “no,” and it may be taken for granted that they are in favor of repealing all the labor.laws, the mining laws, the school book law and all other measures for the relief of the people. That’s where they stand.

v Reports are mow flying lhick ami fast. They are started by the republican schemers of the county for tlie purpose of influencing voters against the democratic ticket. They are campaign lies started on the eve of the election so that candidates will not have the opportunity to refute them before the people or in The DeSiocrat. We desire to sa\ that all such reports that may be circulated during the week are lies and told for no other purpose than to influence votes against candidates. The campaign on the part of the democratic candidates has been clean manly and fair to their opposing candidates and they should have 'he same treatment, but it is desperate men grasping at straws in deep water. Voters, don’t believe the many campaign lies that are being circulated now and during the next few days. Remember that in nr&nv in* stances you may not see the democratic nominees before thedav of the election aim it would be unjust to them and to yourselves to believe such reports. The opposition are getting desperate and will do anything to secure a vote for anyone candidate. _. The democratic papers are telling how comfortably laboring men can sleep this winter, warmly covered with free wool blankets. How the mischief Is he to get the blankets?— Press. He will get it from one-third to one-half cheaper than he did under t^e McKinley monstrosity. Frank Bildkrback has proved himself to be the most capable man for auditor of the county. The books in the office are conclusive evidence that there should be no change made. Don’t experiment by electing someone else.

The republican speakers of Pike county refused to debate the issues of the campaign with the democrats, prohibitionists and populists. Why ? Because they have no issues with which to go before the people. The ring candidates are not receiving much encouragement from the voters of the outlying townships. In Petersburg they tote fair with the boys. _ Vote for D. Q Chappell for representative. He is a yohng and active man, who will do his utmost for the people in the way of new legislation. One year ago this month granulated sugar sold tor $5.74 per hundred pounds. To-day it is selling for $4 05. Even calamity has worked out as a republican issue, and the party is now reduced to pure vituperation. All members of the “ring” will meet in this city tomorrow and fix matters up for election day. If Sheriff Kinman should be reelected which of tho democrats will be deputy sheriff broT the man that would dare bust tip the labor onions in this county.

The figures Show. The democrats while in power in Pike county reduced expenditures over 113,000. This was during the fiscal rear ending June, 1892, when the hoard of county commissioners were democrats, or at least the majority of them. The tax levy during that time was the lowest ever in the couuty and at the close of that year there was a surplus in the county treasury ot $24,554 82 We reproduce a part of the article of last week on the same question and which gives the figures correctly. Tax-pavers you should study the figures closely and then determine for whom you shall vote on uext Tuesdav. At the^ close of the last fiscal year, Juno, 1894, there was left In the county treasury the sum of $17,585.43, being $6,968.49,leas than hi 1892. The expenditures for the years wider republican rule have been greater than under democratic administration. The one year when the democrats had control thev cut the expenditures down over $13,000 from the previous year, and when the republicans gained control the expenditures again increased. The following fig** ures will give the people an idea of how the balances stood from vcar to year: The auditor’s annual renort for the fiscal year ending June, 1891: Total receipts..f 6T,8f» 63 Orders redeemed .. . — 46,433 96 Balance in treasury.$ 21,372 64 The auditor’s annual report tor the fiscal year ending June, 1892, with a reduced tax levy and under democratic control.

The miners ot Pike cuumy should not be led into voting for any "man who will work directly or indirectly against their interests. It has been done m this section and may be again if opportunity should present itself. There are laws now in force on the statue books which werfc passed by a democratic legislature, which are of incalculable benefit to the man who_ works in the mines, and you cannot afford to vote for men who will not stand up tor your best interests. You cannot afford to have these laws repealed, but if a republican legislature is elected Ute monopolists will control it and shape legislation to suit themselves. Boys, remember that the democratic legislature passed a law prohibiting the blacklisting of union men. Many a farmer who is deploring the low price of wheat is ihe owner of an apple orchard that lias not been given a days labor or a pound of fertilizer since it was planted. Yet there is an unlimited demand for good American apples at round prices in England, and 300,000 barrels have been shipped there already this fall. The tanner who has au apple orchard of desirable varieties and knows how to care for it is on the road to a golden return.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Hon. Leroy Wade, ot Mt Vernon, addressed several large meetings in this county last week. He is au entertaining and logical speaker ami gave his hearers a good explanation ot the tariff and its workings. Mr. Wade made many friends in the county bv his fairness in all political matters and there is no question but what his speeches have done much good.

Protection makes high wage9.—Press. England is absolutely free trade, Germany has high protection. The wages of English laborers double that of German laborers. Therefore free trade makes good wages. To draw correct conclusions you must have logical premises. Vote for Bowman and Bottoms for commissioners. They are able and competent men and will give the taxpavers an economical administratior. They are opposed to high taxation. Next Tuesday is election day when the war of ballots will be waged in Pike county against the ring and their methods of doing business. Vote for Richard W. Harris for clerk of the Pike circuit court He is the man by all means who should be elected. Vote for. Thomas R. Smith for sheriff. *If elected he will carry the keys to the jail. Who can tell what the policy of the reppblipan party jam this pamp$igu,

THE LAHOKINC MAN’S Fit I END. A Clay Caunty Miner I’rfe* Hie Fellow Crufluieu to Vole for lion. W. A. Cullop for State Senator* The following letter from John T. O’Kell I, a Clay county miner and one of the door keepers of the last legislature, addressed to Chairmau Yelton of the Knox county dentocratic central-committee is self explanatory and should be read carefully by every laboring man in this district, and especially bv miners. The letter is as follows: Knightsville, Ini>., Oct. 21,1894. Chairman of the democratic committee of Knox county : My Dear —Since the Hon. W. A- Cullop is a candidate for shite senator I wish to say to tuy fellow miners that they could uot vote for a better man than Mr. Cullop, and when I sav this 1 know t\ hat I am talking about, for he was the laboring man’s trie ml in the last legislature and voted for every measure that was brought up for our interest and I can assure you, mv fellow miners in Knox and Pike counties, that you could not vote tor a better man. Perhaps some of my fellow craftsmen will want to know how I know this and in answer I will say I was one of the door keepers of the last legislature and 1 know who-our friend was atid I assure you mv fellow miners, that v<yu will make no mistake in voting for the Hon W. A. Cullop for state senator. I wish that I had 10.000 votes, he would get every one and I would know they were going for a good man. Perhaps some ot the miners of Knox and Pike will say l am not a miner. Well if they think I am not, let them write to Local, Ko. 677. U M. W. A Kitiyhtsville, Clay conntv, Ind, and the officer?' will tell them I am all right. In conclusion my lellow craftsmen, 1 would say, vote for your own interest and when you do this vote for j Hon. W. A. Cullop for state senator and you will make no mi-take. Very Truly Your Friend, John T. O’Neill.

When you hear a man howl about high taxes ami that man doesn’t give figures and state facts, put his language down as pure * ■ bu neoin be. ’ 1’ress. As our young triend has never paid I lax more lh4;: once, it then, he is not capable of talking much about luxation. It is a fact as the perfplo of Pike county well know that the rat** of taxation has been higher the past three \ cars than at any time before. Anti stick a pin here. In the town of Petersburg the tax levy has been raised eleven rents on . the hundred dollars, and the iVViiUT\paii candidate I or trustee of Washington township is one of the town trustees. Taxes in the town of Petersburg are outiageon sly high and there is nothing much to show tor it. The tax-rate in Pike county is very much higher than it should be when everything is taken into consideration. We might call the Wilson bill, ‘The Comedy of JSrrors.”—Press. And we might call the McKinley Bill “Macbeth'* because it hath murdered sleep. It, with a multitude of other acts of vicious legislation, murdered the sleep of the laboring people and well nigh wrought the ruin of this country. No more do you near the corner politicians talk about sugar. The wind is knocked clear out of him. Sugar is cheaper in the markets today than it was a year ago b\ threefourths toone and one-fourth cents] per pound. The sugar liar has succumbed All woolen and cotton goods are cheaper now than they were a year ago. This is the result of the new tariff laws. For reference to this statement we refer you to any merchant in Petersburg. Prices quoted warrant the assertion.

No democrat can afford to falter at this election. For the first time in thirty years his party is on trial on the merits of that legislation it had contemplated for a quarter of a century. A victory thitt year means victory in 1896. TueNoIsoii glass company of Muncie which has laid idle for several months, begun work this week with a full quota of hands. The plate-glass works, too will startup soon after the election. Then not an idle factory will be in that city. Lower taxes is what the farmers of Pike county want and should have. Vote the straight democratic ticket and relief from the burdens will be the result. Eleven prisoners made their escape during Sheriff Kinman’s first, term of office. And he wants another term. p 1 . 1 . ' 1 w Let every voter in Pike county go to the polls early nexi Tuesday $nd cast his ballot for lower taxes,

I» making the dates for the speakings of Major Menzies in this county the central committee placed oue of his speeches at Winslow. Hon. Joe Cheadle was billed there the same j day as was Prof. Boyce, the people's j candidate tor congress. The rtenn - era tic committee was under the impression that Mr. Cheadh* was to speak in the alter noon, as from the Press one would be led to believe that I wav, so M <jor Mciizte* was billed tor j that night, Wednesday, October 31st. Chairman Heathmau, of the democratic committee. learning that such I was tlie case waited on Hon. J. W Wilson, chairman of the republican central committee, stating as all three had been billed for the same date, to make it a joint discussion, letting each speaker consume one hours time. To this Mr. Wilson demurred, and joint debates in Pike county is al an 1 end so far as the republicans are concerned The democratic party has been willing for a joint debate at any ! and all times and between any and all persons and is yet ready to put up any man in the county against any republican who may wish to debate the Issues. As the republican committee had first selected the date at Winslow, and in all fairness to them the Major's appointment was canceil* led at that point and be addressed a rousing big meeting at Augusta, the largest ever held in the township. Joint-debates to republicans are a dangerous thing.

Stiii a Democrat. Uxi ’N, Ixi>, Oct. 29,1894. Editor Democrat: Will you kindly publish iIn* toUowiug in this week s Democrat. To (be democracy of Pike county. A great many persons, both democrat- and republicans are under the impression that I atu still allied with the populists party. To correct tbiimpression I will state that 1 am a democrat first, last and all the time I think the populist partv is simply a | side door into the republican party I A prominent republican of this conn- | ty at a populist convention was called upon to make a speech, lie said: ! “I don't desire to make a speech. It [ I did I would make u straight for- ! ward''republican Speech, I think you are on the road |.*the republican par | tv, and I hope you will get there." I think he expressed the truth, and that it would be wise for all di.-saiis- | tied democrats to ponder well beibr>* they take a leap into the dark. Yours for democracy, A. G. Cato. Increase of Wages. Henry W. Bemctif, treasurer of t he Republican county central committee and president ot the J^nUanapoliStove company employing several hundred hands, in J an interview in tlie Indianapolis Journal a tew day - ago say,- that lie has within the past week advanced the wages of all hDein ployes b per cent, in justice to the men. The advance has been caused by ‘-he revival of business Is it not a fact that, if given power, the republican party would repeal the tax law, the election law, the fee and salary law, the school book law and other equally as good laws?
