The Newton County Enterprise refers to D. B. Nowels as a candidate for representative on the Populist-Prohibition-Demo-cratic ticket. Mr. Nowels’ name is not on the Prohibition ticket. That party did not make any nomination for representative at their convention. The Democrats are heartbroken because W. D. Owen, the Republican candidate for secre tary of State, will not be able to meet their candidate, W. R. Myers, in joint debate. Gentlemen, if you are really anxious for a joint discussion, Dr. Robinson, the People’s Party candidate for S&retary of State, will meet your Mr. Myers at any time and place.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, has written a letter to the people of his state announcing that he has left the Republican party and joined the Populists. People who are calling Populists cranks will do well to note this new accession to that party. Senator Jones is to-day recognized in this country and Europe as one of, if not the best informed man on the money question in the world. Our government in appointing a committee to meet w’ith the great, wise men of other nations at the Brussels monetary conference surely did not regard Senator Jones as a crank. People who are calling Populists cranks and anarchists will do well to first find out who are Populists.

Those Louisiana sugar planters who resolved themselves oui of the Democratic party into th. Republican party the other daysaid, “Now Congress holds a further menace over our heads in a threat to put sugar on the free list next session.’’ Will these planters better their condition by voting the Republican ticket? The Republicans of our state are in favor of free sugar they say. Really the most serious objection they have to the new Democratic tariff law is the protection it gives this article. Republicans tell us the McKinley law made sugar free and cheap. Can somebody tell these old tariff “tads” where they are.

The Democratic meeting, Saturday night, was very slimly attended, just as was the republican meeting the week before. The democrats had a wet night, and a poor unkown speaker, while the republicans had a fine night and a noted orator. Both meetings were failures. The democrats are making excuses, the republicans are saying nothing. The real facts in the case are, the people are tired of these old tariff harrangues, they want something new. For 30 years the voters of this country have been attending democratic and republican tariff lectures and if they do not, by this time, have a pretty good idea of the tariff question, one or the other of two things are surely true; we, the people, are either very dumb, or else these, democratic and republican speakers have not sense enough to teach.

Hear what the Indianapolis News, a Republican paper, says of the “three hundred influential planters:” “No one seems to care what becomes of the Louisiana sugar planters, who have left or are going to leave the Democrtic party, because that party would not consent to tax 70,C00,000 of people for the benefit of a few hundred people in Louisiana. Never was there so ridiculous a revolt. The Democratic party has bid the “three hundred influential planters” a joyous farewell, and it even seems to feel that their secession is a thing to be desired. On the other hand, though, the Republicans seem rather to welcome them as allies. There have not been wanting warnings against a too eager and enthusiastic reception of recruits who were so plainly “out for the Stuff.”

Last week we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. D. B. Nowels, candidate for Representative on the Populist-Prohibition-Demo-cratic ticket. While it is true that his political position is a little confused, yet Mr. Nowels is a perfect gentleman, and a little above the average Democratic politician.—Newton County Enterprise. We do not know that the Enterprise has shown any superior discernment in so readily recognizing Mi. Nowels as “a perfect gentleman,” for anybody who has the slightest appreciations of gentlemanly bearing and conduct, has but to merely see him to come to the same conclusion as the Enterprise. It is this natural aptness of men to observe and respect merit that has lead the different parties to select Mr. Nowels as their candidate.

The following is from lhe Indianapolis Sentinel’s Washington correspondent: “The recent bolt of Senator Jones, of Nevada, to the “Pops” has only made the Republicans more active in the coming campaign to capture the majority of the state congressional delegations. In the Jones bolt they see the loss of the silver states for the Republican electors in 1896—a loss that will go to the Populists and give that party the balance of power and throw the election of president into the house. They believe that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will get a clear majority of the electoral college. In that event the house will elect the president and the senate the vice-president. The vice-presi-dent is elected by a majority of the senate, each senator having one vote. But when the house -iects the president members lose their individuality. Each state is entitled to one vote. At present there are 44 states, and 23 states would elect, but as congress has provided for the admission of Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, 47 states will participate in the next presidential election. Twenty-four will be a majority then. In voting by states for president, the representatives of each state decide how the vote of each state shall be cast.

Before the third party developed strength enough te carry states a majority of the state delegations in congress were never contended for, a majority of the house was all that was desired. But we remember how the Democrats of the far West cast their votes for Populist electors two years ago, not as an endorsement of Populism, but to throw the election in the house, where the Democrats had a majority of the states. This was done in case Mr. Cleveland could not carry the majority of the electoral college but the contingency did not arise.” “POPS” HOPE FOR THE SENATE. It looks very much now as if the senate from next March would be controlled by the Populists—through balance of power. The Republicans give up all hopes of gaining control of the senate. Before Jones left the party they expected to come near controlling it. With Jones the Populists now have four votes to the Republicans thirtyseven, the Democrats forty-four, with three vacancies. The Republicans will have to hold all they now have and gain seven more seats to control the senate. While it is possible for the Democrats to hold the senate, it is not possible for the Republicans to do so.

We have seen a number of watch chains ornamented with a pretty charm in the shape of a watch case opener, which obviates the use of a knife or fingernail to open the watch. They are sent free on request by the Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa. Your jeweler here may have one for you; if not, send to Phiadelphia. The Keystone Watch Case Company is the largest concern of its kind in the world. Its capacity is 2500 watch cases per day. It manufactures every description of case, but its great specialty is that most popular of all watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filled. These are equal in beauty and wear to solid gold—while they cost only about onehalf as much. Boss and other Keystone cases are the only cases that have the famous non-pull-out bow or ring, which saves the watch from theft and accident. The Keystone Company does not retail, but our local jewelers handle the cases and swear by the thief-proof qualities of the ring.

People’s Party State Platform.

In general terms we endorse the principles and declarations of the Omaha platform, and herewith submit the platform prepared by your commllUH) on rvrSoiutions. TUB FINANCI AL ISSUE. We demand a national currency of ?.">0 per capita. Including the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 13 to 1. Issued by the general government only, a lull legal tender for all debts both public and private distributed-to the pcopledireet without the intervention of • banking corporations in payment of all obligations of the government, and demand the issue of non-interest bearing treasury notes of small denominations. We declare our unalterable opposition, as a party, to banks of issue, state or national We also denounce the past and continueduse of the government iiat by congress to create Interest-bearing bonds. We charge that the crime of demonetizing silver la '73, by the Republican party, further consummated by the joint action of both the old parties at the extra session of congress in ’93, has fully accomplished the purpose of the monied aristocracy of the United States and England, in placing American producers of our great staple crops on a level with the poorest paid pauper labor of the world under English control, by changing through this crime against American producers and laborers, the pricing instrument for all products and wages to the single standard of gold only. Wedemund a national graduate income tax on salaries or incomes in excess of reasonable expenditures for the comforts and necessities of life. We pledge the People’s party, when given control of the government, that the gunholders, who put up life to save the Union from secession, shall be equalized with the bondholders, who speculated in human life and the blood of our people, and their pensions shall be treated as a vested right. We favor the election of United States senators and all postmasters by direct vote of the people.

STATE ISBUES. We believe the people are yet capable of self-government and home rule, and demand of the next legislature the repeal of the metropolitan police law applied to cities. We also denounce the present unfair and unjust law that forbids minorities representation on eloction boards or witnesses to count of ballots, as a violation of the natural rights of the people; tiic entering wedge to the destruction of free government; the very essence of party tyranny and taxation without representation, laws that no honest man can defend. We demand a constitutional convention to revise our stat" '■institution and include therein reform in the methods ovation and the initiative and referendum system c legislation, with the veto power of all the Important laws in the hands of the people. We demand such equitable adjustment of the statute for the listing of property for taxation that will permit the deduction of all bona fide Indebtedness from sum total listed. We demand a reasonable homestead law that no process of any court can touch. We demand a law taxing all inheritances coming to citizens of Indiana, both direct and collateral, at 5 per cent, above *2.000, for the benefit of the state sinking fund. We demand that most liberal educational facilities for the masses within the power of the state to provide, and a more efficient ad ministration of the public school fund. We demand that convict labor shall be taken as far as possible away from competition with honest, free labor in conduct of the state prisons, recommending that counties work their convicts building and improving public roads.

We demand a law at tho hands of the no.xt legislature that will make It optional with debtors In this state, to pay any legal obligation in gold, silver or other lawfnl money of the United States. We demand that our state naturalization laws conform to our national laws upon tho subject. We view with alarm the evil influence of the liq uor traffic. We heartily endorse the initiative and refeiendum system of legislation. believing by this means the people can suppress this and other evils more effectually than by any other mode. We demand an effective enforcement of tho laws prohibiting the employment of child labor. We demand that a system of arbitration be established, whereby serious difficulties between employer and employes may be speedily and impartially adjusted, before either party resort to measures detrimental to one and to both. We favor a reduction of the working hours by law in mines and factories in conformity with the progress of industry. We demand that cities be specially empowered to assume ownership and control of public water, transportation and lighting plants, in such manner as to operate wholly in the interest of the people, without imposing burdensome taxation. We are against the giving out of public works under contract to the lowest bidder, state and the communities should carry out such work themselves under the supervision of experienced officers. We favor an efficient employer’s liability law and the inspection of mines and factories for the protection of life and limb of the workingmen. The right to vote is inherent in citizenship irrespective of sex.
