They are not talking about the ice trust in Indiana. The Ben Harrison letter is said to be a cool enough subject for this season of the year. *Thk chairman of the republican party has put the republicans on probation for two year's. He says they were‘‘rebuked.” Now he wants them all to work. t Ik Neely slips through the meshes of the net spread for him by the department of justice, what becomes of the president's declaration that the guilty in C uba must be punished to the bitter end. Now it seems that Mr. Carlisle will not support McKinley at all, as the republicans announced so gaily the other day. He says that while he is a gold man he can't and won’t vote for such a man as McKinley. An increase of the mortgage indebtedness of $11)4,345 in Pike county during the past three years is what the chairman of the republican party would call “prosperity and confidence.” Other financiers would call it hard times. But great men differ. It is worthy of notice that Roosevelt has ceased to expatiate in his speeches on the cowardice of the negro troops at San Juan Hill and on the great superiority he once found iu the western cowboj's over the mechanics and clerks of the eastern cities. How is it that Pennsylvania, whose direct benefit a larger part of the tariff law is diawn than for nearly all the rest of the country put together— hpw is it, we ask, that Pennsylvania is the scene of more strikes than any other half dozen states in the Union? * The president says that he confirmed the Sulu Treaty but that thereby he did not recognize its recognition of slavery in those islands. If he were to say that he had eaten his dinner but did not recognize the fact that he had done so would that alter the eating?

The republican national committee is going to dump aj>ig lot of boodle into Pike county in order to carry the election. It is said that the boodlers are going to try to take up whole townships. It wont work as the democrats are onto the scheme and will put a quietus on the proceedings. Lookout for boodlers on election day. Talk about prosperity. Will the editor of the Press, and who, by the way, is the chairman of the republican county committee, tell the people why an increased mortgage indebtedness in Pike county is prosperity. If prosperity has hit the people of Pike county, the mortgage indebtedness should have decreased instead of having increased $194,345 in three years. Herman Fulcher a,nd P. A. McKoberts are the democratic nominees for county commissioners. These men are competent to serve the tax-pay-ers in these most important positions. They are farmers and highly re- i spected. The county commissioners j are very important officers and only tirstclass meu should be selected to till > the offices. No mistakes will be made ! by the voters if these should be elect- j ed. Vote for Fulcher and McRoberts. t t

\ Election one week from next Tuesday. Get ready to vote for William J. Bryan for president. If you favor the constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, vote for William Jennings Bryan for president. 1 The tariff and the trusts have formed a mutual admiration society. This is not surprising when it is noted how much they owe to one another. There are enough votes in Indiana favorable to the democratic state and national tickets to give them both'a large majority. See that they are cast and counted—and counted right. Every voter in Pike county should not fail to cast his ballot on the Oth day of November, and while doing so vote for your best interests by casting your ballot for the peoples* champion, William J, Bryan. The democratic county ticket contains the names of men well known in sail parts of the county; They were regularly nominated and no bosses run the convention. Every voter at the convention had his say. Vote for Vinson France for county assessor, B. F. Lance for surveyor, and Orace Harris for coroner. They are well known citizens of the county and will make competent officials. No mistake will be made when you cast your vote for them. Another of the Goebel murderers has been convicted. Henry E. Youtsey received a life sentence at the hands of the jury last Saturday. When will Governor Mount turn Governor Taylor and Charles Finley over to the Kentucky authorities'?

When you hear of some rich fellbw who has posed as a democrat say that he is going to vote for McKinley then it is time for the laboring'man to look out and vote for Bryan. The rich men and the oppressers of labor all flock together. It is true here as elseRepubucan boodlers are workiug a new scheme this campaign. They will offer a voter $20 to vote the republican ticket. This is not all. After the election they will have him arrested for selling his vote and have him disfranchised. Shame ou such political methods. The old soldier who has trouble in getting his pension matter acted on should remember that President McKinley did not keep the pagan Sultan of Sulu and his harem keepers waiting. The pension paid to them was agreed on very quickly and they get it regularly too— from $40 to $250 per month, each of them. Teddy’s teeth seem likely to become as much of an issue as pigs in clover were a few years ago. The interior department has denounced it as an insult to the governor and its inventor, who is a republican editor, by the way, is denouncing Secretary Hitchcock. The result will be to advertise the puzzle splendidly. Billy Battles is making a hard light for his election as recorder of Pike county, and will be elected by a handsome majority. He is competent in every particular and will make a splendid official. He is a tine penman a,nd will keep the records in good style. He is popular with the voters and will receive a large vote in each of the several townships. Vote for Battles for county recorder. The democratic county officials have decreased the county debt over $30,000 in the last three years. This debt was incurred by republican county officials, and is now being paid off rapidly by the democratic officials. Expenditures have been reduced to such on extent that they are now lower than known in the county for many years. Vote for the democratic county ticket and have the debt entirely wiped out during the next four years. ___

Vote for William Liibs for county treasurer. He is a business man who is held in the highest esteem by the people of Petersburg and Pike county. He is qualified in every respect for the position, and honest and trustworthy. He is a substantial citizen who has always worked and given of his means to upbuild the interests of the town and county. He has not spent his money in other counties to build them up, but always spent his * money in his own county. Vote for Bill Liibs for treasurer. The steel trust is doing the part of the work assigned to it in the campaign. It has ordered the mills at South Chicago. Joliet and other points closed. The trust said to the men: “We can not give you employment if the democratic party is in power after next November. Vote for McKinley.” It is the same old 189(i business over again. The trusts are assured by Hanna that they may continue to steal from the people for four years longer if the^ do their part toward electing him. Their part was to contribute to the republican campaign fund and then to try to force their employes to vote for McKinley. Crush the trusts or they will crush you.

The democratic meeting* throughout the county are being largely attended. It shows which way the election will go on the 6th day of November. Hanna declared some time ago that there were no trusts. Now he says there is no imperialism. If this thing goes on, the first thing Mr. Bryan knows, he will have to look up some more issues. Mark Hanna says “there are no trusts,” while Roosevelt claims that there are good and bad trusts. Will some good republican friend step forward with a solution of the problem as to how these two statements are to ; be reconciled. ■ . \ I The democrats it is true, have little I money with which to battle against ! the overwhelming resources of Mark | Hanna. But a similar state of things existed a century and a quarter ago, when the colonists were fighting Great Britain. Yet the people won them. _ Jesse Grant, the youngest son of general Grant, has left the republican party and is working with all his i might in California for Bryan. General Sherman’s son is also for Bryan, and so are the sons of nearly all of the conspicuous generals who fought for the Union. The democrats of the several townships have nominated tickets composed of splendid men to be voted for at the November election. The candidates are all well known in their I respective townships and should rejeeive the support of every voter in I the township from trustee to road suner visor.

Assistant Secretary Mieklejohn says that the United States cannot recognize slavery in the Sulu islands because it is forbidden by the thirteenth amendment to the constitution. But, as Mr. Bryan has so well pointed out, the president holds Vhat the constitution does not extenoMo the colonies. Postmasters and all others holding government positions have been made to crack down ten per cent of their salaries for the-re public an cam$ paign fund. The republican national committee is raising an immense fund. The several county chairmen of Indiana were called to Indianapolis last week to receive a portion of the funds. _,_ See to it that every voter in Pike county goes to the polls on election day. The peoples’ cause must prevail and the trust combinations given a dose of popular opinion that will make them look like thirty cents. The trusts have run the country for nearly four years, longer than it was best for the people. Down with the trusts on election day. Dick Bass is the next sheriff of Pike county. He has the necessary qualifications to acceptably fill the office to the credit of himself and the people of the county. He is popular at home and makes friends with all whom he meets. He is honest and trustworthy and will make an acceptable official. Vote for Dick Bass for sheriff on November 6th. Col. Owen will be the next congressman from this district. His old friends are rallying to him all over the district and he will receive a tremendous vote. He is a citizen who stands in the highest esteem by all who know him. He is a broadminded man who has the ability to represent the .district in the halls of congress. He is a business man of long years experience and one who knows the needs of the people whom he will rep-, resent. Vote for Owen, the gallant colonel Of the 80th Indiana regiment.

New York is for Bryan. Since the wonderful outpouring of her people on his arrival in that state there can no longer be any question about it. Even the republican papers were forced to declare that the people of New York city never saw such a tremendous demonstration as greeted Mr. Bryan’s appearance to the great metropolis. And not only that, but the republican party is fighting for its life in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and many other states which were easy for them four years ago, with the chances against it in each of them. S. Thompson, county chairman of the republican party, and who is the editor of the Press, after the republican convention took the republicans of Washington to task and has placed them on probabtion for the next two years. The chairman took a very active part in defeating Jde Patterson for recorder and other candidates from the township. Here is what the republican chairman had to say: There Is a strong sentiment among the republicans of Washington township to work this fall to redeem themselves from the odi. um of 1898. Two years ago many of the re. publicans of Washington township voted for several democratic candidates. As a result this township was rebuked in the recent republican county convention. If Washington township shows up all right in the election this fall, it will be impossible to prevent the nomination of any man that the township will ask for in I90i. Let every man who is h republican put his shoulder to the wheel and push.
