The Democrats of Washington Township will meet in mass convention at the court house in Petersburg/ on p - SATURDAY, OCT. 13, 1900, i At 2:00 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. The offices for which candidates will be nominated are: Trustee, Assessor, Justice of the Peace, Two Constables, Road Supervisors and three members of the Township Advisory Board. All Democrats and all others who will support the nominees of the convention are cordially invited to attend. By order of committee, _ George Hollon, Chairman. The date of the convention was changed from the 6th in order to give all an opportunity to hear W. J. Bryan speak at Washington on that date.

Bourke Cochran speaks at Evansville, this (Friday) night. William J. BRyan speaks at Washington, Saturday afternoon. The Washington township convention will be held Saturday afternooq, October 13th. Let every democrat attend and nominate a strong ticket. The New York typographical union is opposing the election of McKinley. It is the second time that the union has entered politics in the past fifty years. J The populists of the first district met at Princeton last Saturday. The convention decided not to nominate a candidate for congress. Rev. Josephus Lee tendered his resignation as chairman of the district committee. __ Mark Hanna says there are no trusts in the United States. How funny this sounds coming as it does from the spokesman of McKinley under whose administration the trusts have flourished and the stock manipulators have raised the prices of manufactured articles. The trusts are working like beavers to thwart the will of the people at the coming election. They are putting millions of dollars in the republican campaign fund. The people will rise up in their might on the 6th day of next month and give them a solarplexus blow that will make them look like 30 cents. Last Saturday a gentleman came 1 up to this office and asked for Bryan’s lithograph, saying that he was 57 years old and had always voted the republican ticket, but at the November election would cast his vote for the peerless champion of the people’s rights, William Jennings Bryan. He j is a farmer by occupation and a great j .reader and thinker.. UliLI—LL.. —UJJL1L1 Speaking of the coal miners’ strike in Pennsylvania, the Rev. Charles A. Parkhurst, that noted New York preacher, says: “The strike in the anthracite coal district is a terrible calamity. It is a most unfortunate affair. It is plain on whom we must lay the responsibility. The party in power is always responsible for what happens of that nature during its administration, therefore I hold that the republican party is responsible for the cost of this strike.” , \ '

The ticket o£ the county democracy la a very strong one from top to bottom. The men composing it are i well known to the voters of the various sections of the county and each ! gentleman is held in the higeest es- | teem by his neighbors and friends at ■ home. This speaks well for the candidates. The democratic party in Pike county pledges an economic administration of county affairs. This the party pledged in the campaign of 1898 and 1898, and again in 1900 pledges the voters that the same motto will be carried out. When the democrats came into power at the election in 1896 the county was in debt something like $60,000 and by strict economy in all branches of affairs the debt at this time does not reach $27,000 and in another year this will be reduced to about $18,000. The men who have been elected have fulfilled the pledges made to the people and will continue to do so as long as their terms of office extend. The gentlemen who have been nominated by the democrats are pledged to this same line of reform in county matters, and their reputations are at stake in the matter and they will do their utmost to reduce all ex- . penditures to the lowest possible amount in order to reduce the debt and the taxes of the people. The voters of Pike county owe it to themselves to elect every man on the democratic county ticket at the coming election. It is tq your interest to do so.

The Press and the republicans in general continually assert that we have prosperity at home and abroad. If any of our readers will examine the mortgage records of Pike county for the last four years they will find that eastern corporations have placed mortgages upon forty of the best farms of the countv loaning to our farmers over fifty-five, thousand dollars ($55,000.00) and during the year 1900 have loaned over two thousand dollars per month. None of this money pays any taxes in Pike county but the interest thereon goes to these corporations in the east* The campaign is beginning to boom at least on the part of the democrats. Several attempts have been made by Sylvester Thompson, chairman of the republican party, to organize republican clubs and hold rallies and speeches in this county, but every effort has proved a failure. Last Friday Governor Mount visited this city to deliver an address and only a very small crowd was present, not over 150 voters being in attendance. There seems to be a great lack of republican enthusiasm. _ The convention of Washington township has been changed to Saturday afternoon, October 13th. This was done by Chairman Hollon at the solicitation of a great many citizens of the township who desired to hear William J. Bryan at Washington, Saturday afternoon. The hour of the convention was changed to morning, but a great many desired to drive over and it would not give them time enough. Remember the change.

Hanna says there are no trusts. Governor Mount says there are, but the governor has failed during his four years of service as chief executive of the great state of Indiana to squelch a single trust combination in this state. Much less has a law been enacted by the two republican legislatures that would be effective. The republican party is the daddy of trusts. _ The Democrat’s subscription list continues to grow at the rate of ten to fifty per week. The reading public of Pike county want a newspaper that gives the news and that’s the reason that democrats, republicans, people’s party and prohibitionists, rich and poor, take the Democrat. Our subscription books are still open for four or five hundred more subscribers. The trust combinations are beginning to coerce their workmen into voting for McKinley. That was their favorite weapon in the campaign of 1896. These corporations will resort to any method to elect McKinley in the|pre8ent campaign. The laboringmep will not be coerced or intimidated in this campaign. They will vote their sentiments. On the high authority of the Chicago Tribune, chief organ of prosperity and McKinley’s most devoted defender, it is stated that Mr. Bryan has the support of “everyone that is in distress and everyone that is in debt and everyone that is discontented.” This naturally leaves Major McKinley with only the support of the trusts. The latest republican campaign dodge is to establish—until after elec-tion-free rural postal delivery in all doubtful localities. This will involve the employment of 15.000 campaign hustlers for McKinley at the expense of the public. Hemenway is working the racket in the First district. Don’t move after October 6th. If you do yoif^ni lose your vote. You must live in the township or county sixty days and in the precinct thirty days. After the sixth of October if you change from one precinct to another you will lose your vote.

WAR RECORD

Or Colonel Alfred Dnl Owen, Democratic Candidate For Confirm. When the war broke out Colonel Owen was but 18 years old. He was patriotic, every inch of him, and while he had abundant opportunities at home for making money and getting a start in the world he was determined to enlist and help save the Union. He was one of the first four men in Posey county to join the Union army. In 1861 Colonel Owen went to Indianapolis to get a company in the service, and finding that the State’s quota was about made up he went to Lafayette, Ind., to enlist as a private. He enlisted in Company F, Fifteenth Indiana Volunteers. The company was first sent to West Virginia, where considerable hard fighting was done. Eight days after his enlistment young Owen was promoted to first sargeant. For bravery at the battle of Cheat Mountain the dashing young soldier was promoted to second lieutenant of Company B, Sixtieth Regiment. The Sixtieth Regiment was sent in the iall of 1861 to Indianapolis to do guard duty. After being there several months the regiment was transferred to Kentucky where it saw some hard fighting. Young Owen was soon promoted First Lieutenant after serving six months he , was made Adjutant of the Eightieth Regiment. With his regiment he went to Cincinnati, Ohio, to help oppose General Kirby. He was there two or three weeks when his regiment was transferred to Louisville, Kentucky. He took part in General Buel's campaign and was in the hard fought battle of Perryville, where there was fearful loss of life on both sides. After the battle of Perryville the Eightieth Regiment remained in Kentucky protecting the »railroads and other property from “Raider” Morgan, who was then sweeping through the state. After the battle of Perryville, Charles Denby of this city was appointed Colonel of the Eightieth Regiment. He served until January 27, 1864, when young Owen was made colonel. In 1863 the Eightieth under the command of General Burnside marched to east Tennessee, where several fierce battles were fought. Some of the battles in which the Eightieth took part were Knoxville, Louden and Kingston. The regiment was with General Sherman in his march to the sea. After the battle j of Red Clay, Ga., May 8, 1864, young Owen was promoted from adjutant to lieutenant colonel for bravery and gallant conduct. He was promoted colonel over several captains and other officers but they all agreed he was the most competent man in the regiment to be made colonel. There was not a man in the regiment who did not love Colonel Owen. He was not onlybiave ?ind fearless but was kind to his men and shared their hardships with them. Colonel Owen’s regiment was at the battles of Buzzard’s Roost and Resae- | ca and took part in all the engagments from Dalton to Atlanta. After the battle of Atlanta the regiment returned to Rome, Ga., with the army of General Scofield. The* last battles in which the regiment participated were Franklin and Nashville. The j regiment was mustered out of service ! August 29, 1865. Nearly 400 of the j regiment were killed during the war. ; The regiment traveled 7,245 miles | during the war of which distance 3,j 750 miles were on foot.

His Life Was Saved. E. Lilly, a prominent citizens of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that' ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery. One bottle gave me great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvelous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all Throat and Lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free at Stearnes Drug Co’s,, drug store. Every bottle guaranteed. The Trusts Support McKinley, W$ And a thousand trusts estab-1 lished under the McKinley adminis-j tration, without any attempt to seriously enforce the law against them. Whom are the trusts support- j ing for president? None of them .is standing for Bryan. They are all engaged in fighting McKinley’s battles. That simple fact, known of all men, shows where the trusts expect aid and comfort through the presidential election. McKinley will see that they come to no harm and that the tariff shall still be manipulated in their favor.—Pittsburg Post. To Cure La Grippe in 24 Hours. No remedy equals Warner’s White Wine of Tar Syrup for this terrible and fatal disease. If taken thoroughly and in time, it will cure a case in 24 hours, and for the cough that follows la grippe, it never fails to give relief. Price 25 and 50 cents. J. R. Adams & Son. *
