SeXat QR j ONES> o f Nevada, as %me out square and fair for .ne Populists. He has for years been the ablest man on the republican side of the senate. Welcome Senator Jones.

After all the hue and cry of tariff reform for eighteen years, there is only 9 per cent, between the McKinley tariff and the new Democratic tariff. Both high protective measures. Big fuss for a little wool.

The railroads and other corporations of Illinois who own more than half the wealth of the state, pay less than one-eigth of the taxes, and just to the extent of dodging their just share, the poor devil of a farmer has to hump himself to pay his own and their’s too.

Plutocracy is clamoring for an increase of the military force of the nation. They want bayonets to hold what they have stolen through purchased legislation. Go ahead, gentlemen, in your effort to substitute a government of force for one of consent, but remember that in the substitution somebody will get hurt.

That which seems ta perplex most politicians, just now,, is iow to frame a resolution on the silver question, that they can make the people believe you are for free coinage, when they mean no such thing. Whenever a man or party favors free coinage, he or it will say: “I am in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1.” If they refuse to say that, just say to them, “you are lying.”

Some Republican papers are complaining that the, tariff has been so reduced th&t many manufacturing establishments will be compelled to stop business, while others are rejoicing over the Democratic failure to accomplish anything like the reduction the party demanded. To the latter class belongs the Rensselaer Republican. That paper heads its notice of its par ty’s rallies with Cleveland’s pro test against the Gorman protection bill that became a law without his signature. These papers should agree upon some line of attack. Either say the new tariff bill is an out and out free trade measure or else call it a Gorman-Republican--Protection law. If this law is, as the Republican pretends to show, by Cleveland’s denunciation of it, a measure so much of protection that it falls far below the Democratic free trade.demands. it will surely have but little to say against it this campaign.

The Populist senators voted with the Republican senators and the three recreant so-called Democratic senators to send the free sugar bill to the finance committee which they knew would not report it back this session.—The Democratic Senti - nel.

Bro. McEwen like many other of our Democratic friends is complaining of the four Populist senators, because they did not make his party (the majority in the Senate) do what he wanted it to do. If his party failed to carry out its pledges it is no fault of the minority, the Populists and the Republicans; these two parties were not there to keep the Democrats on their platform. The Democratic majority in the senate did not want free sugar, Cleveland did not want free sugar, for he said in his Wilson letter, “sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation.” Carlisle did not want free sugar, for without the sugar tax he said there would not be sufficient revenue to run the government. How natural it is to say that somebody else is to blame.

Democratic Convention.

The Democracy of this county met in delegate convention at the court house, Wednesday, September 5, 1894, and after selecting N. S. Bates as chairman, and Jas. McEwen, as srjcretary, nominated the follow’mg ticket: For County Clerk, John. A. McFarland. For County Auditor, Thos. H. Robinson. For County Treasurer, John L. Nichols. For County Sheriff Ellis Jones. For County Surveyo r> Walter Harrington.

For County Coro uer, M. Y. Slaughter. For Commissio’aer, Ist District, Joel F. Spriggs. For Commissioner, 2nd District, Jos. A, E obinson. For Comga\ssioner, 3d District, Edv«tw\ Culp. Exceptuto/; the Commissioner for the 3d district, the above ticket, wr.s nominated by the PopulasVi the 28th of last March.

While we are truly thankful for thfjse nominations we are sorry they could not see their way olear toplace Uncle Georgy Thompson on their ticket. No better man t han Mr. Thompson can be found in this or any other county. This, of course, was a D emocratic convention and they 1 iad a perfect right to nominate just who they pleased.

The action of this convention Wednesd ay shows that whatever may be the opinions of this party on n ational and state issues it is re ady and willing to join hands with us in trying to bring aboma a better order of things in our c< >unty matters. This convewti'on, by its action, has said that county politics is one thing, state j and national another; that its voters, in local affairs, .this yea r, will work for a change thz.t will take Jasper county out of the list of the highest taxed co unties in the state. It is of little consequence to the common vote which party controls the county; it is the economical and judicious management of'its affairs that should be looked after and not the success of a party.

Jasjper county has suffered from mismanagement, unnecessary burdens have been placed upon our taxpayers, and it is now the duty of every voter to lay aside party and try to do something that will make a change for the better. In this as well as in other co-unties the people take too little interest in local affairs. If a m.an is all right on the tariff; its he is in favor of financial reform, government ownership, etc.; if he votes with us on national issues, we think he is the mam to help manage our county whatever may be his associations; and general fitness for the office to which he aspires. The voters of this county have beem trying to keep things straight here at home by sending men to Washington, by voting for protection and tariff reform. All this in itsplace is well enough, but an eye should be kept on the seat of

county government at Rensselaer. While we have been looking toward Washington, our county has been going in debt, expensive and useless ditch surveys have been run, the county has been borrowing money, exorbitant prices have been paid for work and material about the court house, and upon bridges, etc., practices of economy once known in this county have been superceded by practices of extravagance and all because the people have not been watchful of their local affairs. Good government, like charity, should begin at home and this can only be had by separating county and national politics. Not a single county officer in the discharge of his official duties, can ever raise a finger for or against free trade, protection, financial reform or government

• jWnership. Then how silly to vote for a county candidate simply because of his, national political views.

A Challenge.

Delphi, Ind., Aug. 30, ’94. Hon. Charles R. Harley, Chairman Republican Cong. Committee 10th Indiana District, Delphi Ind.

Dear Sir: Believing, as we do, that the perpetuity of our Republic depends entirely upon the intelligence and information of the masses; and feeling that public interest in State and National affairs demands now the fullest possible investigation of all existing and proposed legislation; and believing, also, that the great industrial, farming and commercial people of this 10th congressional district are not only willing but anxious to avail themselves of every opportunity presented for further information on all political questions; we respectfully request of you, as the representative ot the Republican and of Hon. M. M. Hathaway, representative of the Democratic Congressional Committee as the chairman of each a division of time in the now present campaign; and on behalf of S. M. Hathorn, People’s Party candidate for Congress, extend through you to Dr. Hatch, Republican, and through Mr. Hathaway to Hon. Valentine Zimmerman a kindly challenge to jointly discuss the political

issues at least once in each county of the District. While we hope to make it a triangular debate yet should Mr. Zimmerman decline, may we hope Dr. Hatch will alone consent to the joint discussion? Details to be arranged at the convenience of yourself and Mr. Hathaway.

Hoping for a favorable reply at your earliest convenience, we are, yours respectfully, Frazier Thomas, Chairman P. P. Cong. Com. N. J. Bozarth, Sec’y.

REPUBLICANS FAVOR FREE SILVER.

Advocate International Agreement and the Coinage of the American Product. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 31. The republican state convention yesterday decided to fuse with the populist ticket recently nominated, and not nominate a straight state ticket. The silver resolution is as follows:

We favor a financial policy not in favor of monometallism, either of gold or silver, as the basis of a financial system; but international bimetallism to bf secured by strenuous efforts o f the national power to be dire' eted against such foreign natic >n g as adhere to the single gold stand . ard. Under existing co’ ad itions, with no international 9 greement we favor the free co ; mage of th g entire product r jf American mines at the rati o o f jg to j Now and in the \ uture all dollars should be of equal purchasing power, to the . end a suitable currency, at >U ndant for all wants, shall secu re - f 0 a u people the full resul' (JS o f th e i r labor.
