May 38th, is the time set for the democratic county convention. Thi tax-payers of the county will now have a chance to nominate a ticket on May 88th in mass convention. Th* county wiml mill squeaks just the same, even if some person did cut off its legs. The legs have been repaired. Tills republican {tarty in Pike county has made a great record during the i»ast four years? It’s a lulu and should have its whiskers trimmed. Another billion dollar cpngreas. The , present congress has passed appropriations . ' tq tiie total amount of $505,079*410.88. $This is one pf the beauties of a republican reform.

Fifteen candidates for the republican nomination for governor. After the first ballot there will be fourteen candidates who will take anything from lieutenantgovernor d»Fti to the lowest nomination. Toe progress!vyness of the g. o. p. | is chiefly distinguishable now in the matter |f eipenditure. Cxar Heed’s last House made this ft billion-dollar eoiflatry and ht> present house has supoceded in making it a little ovet|a billion: * Sextimrxt is growing stronger and stronge r each day for a strong silver plank in the national democratic platform. A table complied by the World-Herald, Omaha, Nebraska, gives 516 delegates for ^ silver, 31ft for gold and 68 doubtful. The ‘‘ring” is now using lots of oil on the sores produced at the late republican primary election. As one person said ‘‘it fakes lots of liniment, but we are able to bring ail the defeated ones into line." They’re “rubbing it in” on the boys as it were. I ■ ■ ,s ... The republican gang is using lots of ‘‘liniment" right now|) cure lip the sores produced along about the first of the month. Say how many rotes did some of tlie candidates from the country get who were not endorsed by the *‘rulers'1 of the republican party? How many? There will l« .-lifting of the prohibitionists of l*ikt county at the coutt house in Petersburg, Saturday afternoon, for the }iurp°** of reorganizing the committee and U* nominate a ticket to be voted for at the November election. It. S. G. Bettes, the row boy preacher. wH1 be present and addres? the meeting. The trial of Jackson for the murder of Pearl Bryan was begun in the Newport, Kentucky, court Tuesday. The trial wili last for several weeks. The prosecution claims to have. sufficient evidence to substantiate every theory advanced by them >n the case. The head of the unfortunate has not as yet been found.

Tub opposition to McKiakr as the republican nominee for the presidency is in- „ creasing in Indiana and many other states, j and the Jfapoleon of high tariff is not hav-1 ing clear sailing. The fact i* that the party is so divided on the tariff and money questions, east and vest, that a split i» jnvetable at the St. Louts convention. ■ ■"» 1 .1 Is the t^nonncemtnt column of to*day’i« issue will U, found the name of Downey Beatty of Monroe township, who is a candidate for county recorder, subject to the decision of the democratic convention. My. ■ Beatty is competent to fiii the position to - which be aspire* and should he l?e nominated and elected would make ank accommodating oftictai. Conuress is still in session, but has done nothing further than to pass th» apprupri-! ation bills. Talk about a juirty of reform. • Look at. the pre-* nt congress which is overwhelmingly republican and ask yourself “What ha* it done?’ There is nothing to point to with pride by the e. o. p.’organs. The same may be said of the last session of the Indiana legislature. jinn i■ jin■■■ i» mm ..in Coxouss spent a good {*>rtion of last week debating the “Filled; Cheese Bill.”’ This momentous measure is in keeping with the dignity and doings of the present I congress. If it can not enact i&vs it can at least discuss grave problems. • We have yet no light, however, on wbat the cheese are to be 4‘filled*’ with. The cheese We' get in this locality an- usually w 11 fillet ia writh vitality and activity. But we have confidence that congress will get the question settled correctly. The sixe of this Congress just about balances the ponderous |*pqbiem of cheese.

The People of Pike county are tired out, their patience has been tried, and they want a change in the political management of affairs in this county, and by their votes at the November election will say so. They know that only two years ago the county was only in debt $28,000 and had a surplus | in the treasury of over $17,500 leaving the ! net indebtedness only $10,50Q or less. They now realize that the party that prom-1 ' iswl a reform in the county affairs wasi | only making a “bluff’ to secure control of the offices and patronage and that the prom-j ised reform has failed to materialize, and j instead a great monument has been reared ! constructed of debts; county orders fleeing add bearing interest. This is the reform J promised. Mr. Republican, Peoples’ Party j add Prohibitionists, how do you like the j reform as given you by the present party in 1 power in Pike county? During the time thkt the great reform party has been in | power your taxes have been increased more ! than twenty per cent. How do you like | that? The expenditures have been beyond j thje receipts and a great debt heaped upon you. How do you like that? This is a sample of republican reform promised. -i" Ml"~ ..* - At thte meeting of the democratic county j committee last Saturday the candidacy of Judge E. A. Ely was enthusiastically endorsed by the democracy of this county rtfco | btdieve that Judge Ely b entitled to a full term as judge, having, beeu appointed, by Governor Matthews to fill a term of eighteen months when the judicial circuits were changed. The democracy of the edunty believes in fair play and equal)rights in the matter of making nominations, and that the unit rule adopted by our; sister pbupty which disfranchised the minority in that county and the whole democracy in Pike is unfair and unjust. The resolutions ms adopted at the meeting were endorsed without a dissenting voice and shows the will of the democracy of the county. The democracy pf Pike does not claim both judge and prosecutor, but does lay claim to the judgeship and >li fairness to the sister county concedes the nomination of prosecuting attorney to Dubois county. The resolutions as adopted should be‘read by every voter in the county, and may be found in the report of the meeting in another column.

The meeting of the democratic county •central <:pUUii.ittee last Saturday was a raps^ enthusiastic one. The meeting was attended by a large number of prominent democrats from all parts of the county, and each one present was given a voice in the meeting. It was one of those old-time speaking meetings at which all were expected to say something. It was a great meeting from the fact that all present were working with a view to win at the November election, and with a view to a change in the financial management in Pike county. The financial affairs of the eouidkare in a bad shape, the county being hopelessly in debt and county orders floated for the want of funds to pay them. It is time that a change wa* made ami that men should be elected who are pot officials simply for the salary that the-oflice brings, but for the j*ople ami an economical administration of the affairs of the tax-pavers. ■■ ii 'a • The House committee having the matter in charge has reported favorably upon the bill allowing each member of congress a I*ermanent secretary with a salary of $1,200 a year. The only question now is, will enough members care to go on record in favor of such a measure to pass it? This congress has accomplished absolutely nothing in the way of legislation that would benefit the whole country, and if to its do nothing record it should add such an ex|*“use as this to the necessprj appropriations the record wcruld not lie an easy one to defend. The bill would increase the public expenditure four hundred and thirty thousand dollars.—-Evansville C 'brier. *

A SUNDAY FIRE. Sunday morning about seven o'clock the alarm of tire sounded that the residence of Nelson Stone on Goose Hill was in flames. The fire department answered the call and worked heroically until the water gave out, when all efforts to save the projterty was given up. It is supposed that' the fire caught from a spark from the chimney. Nearly all the household goods were saved. The loss will probably reach $800 with no insurance. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Stone, who is a poor man and who had just made the race for sheriff at the republican primary. In his loss he has the sympathy of the people of Petersburg. Mr. Stone and family have moved into lire Emmet Smithipropcrty j on Main street for the present time. Mr. Stone desires os ret urn his thanks Co the people who worked to save his prop- j ert/ from fire. M. W. Chappell, a former resident of j this county, but now a resident of Nebras- j ka, is quite a stoefc raiser as will be seen j from the following from the Nebraska j Fanner: •'The herd of Berk shires owned by M. j W. Chappeli, of Minden. Nebraska, was visited by our field man last week. He re- * |‘orts Mr. Chappell’s herd as second to j none in the state. At the head of this, herd is English Lad SfT0$5. a grand animal! in everyway and he -is agisted bv Lord: Charmer 30431. We believe this will make ' one of the largest hogs in the state and he will also be a smooth fellow. English Lad Is a grandson of Longfellow. Royal Duchess XXI11 38072 is a very fine individual and a very fine brood sow*. Mr. Chapped has several of her gilts and they are good ones. Mr. Chappell's brood sows are firstebs*. Some excellent pigs will be the result of this season's breeding operations. Mr. Chappell wiU have more to say later, i lie has two late fall boars. Families rep-1 resented are Artful Belle, Royal Duchess aud the Rom fords. ■' >

WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our regular correspondent.} = Washington. April 20th, 1886. Speaker Reed is getting suspicious of; some of those who hare undertaken the' task of making him the republican candidate for president. One oMhe men under suspicion is Quay. Reed is said to believe that in addition to dickering with other candidates for the nomination, Quay has got the idea in his head that if McKinley and Reed can both bethrown down he can himself get the nomination (Gee Whiz! wouldn’t Quay’s nomination be a veritable windfall for the democratic party?) Others hare known that Quay’s head had become swelled with the presidential idea tome time, and have believed that if he could at any time during the St. Louis convent ion get the nomination for himself he would hare no hesitation in gobbling it up regardless of his obligations to Mr. Reed or to anybody else. And there isn’t the slightest doubt that the practical politicians of the Platt-Clarkson stripe would soouer see Quay nominated than any one yet named. He belongs to their class and they would know just how to deal with him. Surely no man has a better right to be suspicious of these men than Mr. Reed, whom they are pretending to be supporting ip his fight for that .nomination. They may vote for Mr, Reed and they may get him nominated but if they do, it will be because they find.that they cannot do better for themselves by supporting somebody else. The democratic “steering” committee has served notice upon republican senators that while not desiring to raise any obstacles to an early adjournment, if the republicans are willing to return to tjie people with a record of having done nothing except to pass the appropriation bills, they insist upon being consulted upon all the measures to be taken up during the remainder of the session and will not grant unanimous consent to take up anything that has not been previously agreed upon,

I be movement started by Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, to take the printing of the postage stamps away from the bureau of Printing and Engraving at Washington, and give it to the lowest private bidder is making rapid progress and if the friends of real economy in public expenditures do not watch their P’s and Q’s the schemers will get it through. It is difficult to understand how any man can have the chee’ to stand np and advocate this step backward in the face of the advantages the government has gained by taking charge of this work. The stamps are better printed, there are more safeguards around their distribution, and considerably more than $50,000 a year is saved. The republican majority of the house committee on Ways and Means has decided not to report any reciprocity bill during this congress, giving as the reason the uncertainty of what action the senate would take upon such a bill and the presence of the democratic president. The real reason is that t he republicans do not care to define the exact party policy on this subject as a bill would have to do, believing that it will make more votes bv having the question open so that any sort of ia promise that may be demanded may be made. The Dupont case is still practically before the senate, but nobody will be greatly surprised if it is nevejrfyoted upon. The republicans are now certain that they cannot seat him unless some senators who have announced their determination to vote against him can be changed by pressure, circumstances or time. Great pressure is being brought to bear upon Senator Gorman to get him to change his mind about not going to the" Chicago convention, but so far he sticks to what he said first—that be will not go. s— Did You Ever.
