Republican Meeting! HON. CHARLES F. GRIFFIN. Republican candidate for Secretary of State, v. ill speak in Ex-S4E*£IIT3-I , C£T. liTZD., On Tuembiy, October Wth , 1886, al o'clod; V. M. The public generally is cordial) 3 invited to attend this meeting.

Every candidate should be earnestly at work from now until November 2nd. Not for him self but for the whole ticket. Forty bushels of good coi n for n pair of common cow-hide l« ots, was the price a man paid iu Lafayette, in the “Good old Democratic free trade days” before the war. - ——“Six good cows f err s set us T ; A*ness” was the price we heard a prominent citizen tel! another man ,tbat he (the other man) paid in this county in Free Trade Den - ocratic times, and the other nu n 'could not deny the .statements We have an esc ttSrd "ticket, and the candidates ail o! os* ,en by theFfasses of the party and by the fairest and most truly Re•publicnn means possible, and tlieYe -s no good reason why any good Republican should not vote the clean ticket „ Captain Dunn asserted in Bosyreil, a few days since, that ho would vote for S. P. Thompson, Tor State Senahtr. Boswell A rear. bet 7th. ~ , Captain' Dunn is tire Remo'/ratio candidate for Treasur- & of Benton county, and has chosvsi wisely the candidate who will fi-best subserve the interests of the Leople.” Let other sensible deeitibrats do likewise.

>. D. P. Patton is making an effort to represent this Senatorial District at the State Capital, and doesn’t own a foot of laud in his own name.— Basin'll Argus. No candidate should be afraid, at any time and in any prince, to apeak a good word for a Lm -thereandidate. It is an imperative duty they owe to the party which nominated them last spring and proposes to elect them this fall. Our Democratic brethren, bf the bob-tailed ticket, are making a atill-hunt, and are/‘on the dicker” bigger than a skinned .horse, and lie,publicans should be on their guard against their ways that are dark and their tric ks that We vain. Every iudmniau who loves his Country and Justice, and the Xvigbte-of Wen, whether he be Democrat, Republican, Greenbackor or P; ’ ! : tior.ist, should vote against the ufainous, disfranchising Gerrymanders. The only possible way that can be done is to vote for the Republican candidates on the legislative tickets. Dr. 1. B. Washburn, 'candidate for County Treasurer is a man whose public and private character are shove reproach, and whose name is an ornament and a tower of strength to the Republican ticket, and should not receive n single scratch on election day, from one end of the county to the other.

Governor Gray said in his speech at Logansport that he i would vote for the Devil, if he was on the ticket, and a United States Senator ship depended upon the result. That being the Democratic view of the importance of tlie senatorship, and their fidelity to narly ini, /resist Surety republicans ought, every man of them, to , be willing to vote for the able'asd j eneelienl candidates on their leg- ! isltive ticket, notwithstanding any feopv.. rs- of string i-ersonal regard j they may feel for the opposing j eaudidui.es, or any possible soreness ever the fact that the pfirtic--1 ular candidates they desired were 1 not nominated at the conventions. Inasmuch as James continues to , do quiet work tor “Billy iloovei” as Le calls bind iil the way oiTattering notices of his services as treasurer and of his army record; and as ! he doubtless also intends to vote for ; 'him at the election, v.e take the oe--1 easion to_ suggest that he lias not ! yet explained how it comes that a > ‘‘Villainous Court hoese cirqrre” can “specidafe on the balance in the county f-easury an l loan it at 12 per cent.” I as per tlie. Message of a couple of months, ago.) and the [County Treasurer, the sole and ! only custodian of that balance, not :be mainly instrumental and reI sponsible for such speculation and usurious anil illegal loaning. | "Do you hear the children cryi ing, Oh my brothers?” • ’ i» Was the burden of one of the most pi/ verful and touching poems ! ever addressed to. the -hearts of men. -The author was a noble . hearted English woman, and the Crying of the children that smote upon h er tender sympathies', came up.from the thousands and tecs of thousands of young children who were and are to this day, wealing out their young lives iu the mines, , tlie factories and the brickyards of ■f FrmvTiade England, and earning 'scarcely moic, in a whole, long wvary -day of ;di too heavy toik Ihan the average American boy sis to f ceive for g..ung a quarter 4 of a male on an errand. A d; present marvelpitsiy low rati • ox ireight tremsp u iotimi aecro.>s the ocean, there is absolutely nothing except the protective tax ifi ig..between tim American workingmen, end such low ratek of -wages .vs w3T foreeTteemj too, to ; take tm- : r own hau.py and healthy ’r 1 ?:. away from their kchoqfe, ;h ir bi gfe and their joyful ehild- . hood games, and to chain them down to health destroying and mind dwarfing toil, even ns their ; fellow children across The water j are chained down.

Thfi vote vending ~ Harpies who regard the ballot as an article of merchandise are rallying to the “piebald” candidates. They bait their hooks w ith revenue or slander and bob for gudgeons. A person who votes for revenue or from personal malice is a sorry specimen of citizenship. Our best citizens do not please the < nemy and slap their brethren in the face'by scratch. The ticket contains the names of our chosen agents to carry into effect oar principles and it is sheer HariKari to wound our cause by stabbing its advocates to the heart. There is sound logic in voting a clean ticket ’There aie plenty of men, not old either, who can remember whom men worked lmid in a harvest field all day for fifty cents; and when that rifty cents would not buy a yard of jeans cloth or two yards of calico. That was in good old Democratic Tariff-for-rev-enue times. Under our present protective tariff, and for which there is no safe-guard except a Republican Senate, a day’s work in the harvest field will earn two good pairs of ready-made jeans pants, or enough calico to make two dresses. The difference is in a ‘Tariff of Revenue” for the good of pauper-labor foreign countries or a Protective Tariff for the benefit of well paid American labor. If auy r republicans are contemplating voting for any opposition candidate on the legislative ticket on the grounds of friendship or neighborly regard, on the cue hand, or from personal illfeeling upon the other, they should reflect that these offices, of all others, are the most important and to vote for a democrat for-either: of these offices is to vote against our noble* and gallant leader, Ren Harrison, for United States Senator and to vote in favor of the infamous disfranchising gerrymander, in favor of keeping the exceedingly suspicions condition of the state treasury concealed from the people and in favor of continumg-Uv-pim-tiiute the charitable institutions of the state to' purposes of partisan greed and personal avarice. The editor of the Message devotes moie space in his paper of last week to an unsuccessful attempt to prove that he is a Repuolican, than he has devoted to honest advocacy _oL Republican principles during the five months of liis paper’s existence. If he is a true Republican why did lie, contrary to ali established usage, carefully .avoid making any declarations of political 'principles during the first several w-eeks-of

his paper’s existence and then only undbr the lashings of The Republican? If he is'a Republican why did he devote so much space to lauding political Prohibitionists and thtnr'priiK*iplos a couple of months ago, and why did he Consent to be nominated at their convention for secretary of their county committee? if he is a Republican why has he not denounced time and again the greatest crime ever committed agaiuA the Renublican party in the North, the Indiana Gerrymanders; which, as we remember, he has never mentioned , but ouee in his pap .r, and then only to work tin a lie for Hoover’s | benefit, to tickle the Democratic re--1 goney at liemiagton. If he is a Republican* why is lie now openly or covertly supporting a considerable numbea of the opposition candidatesand why does lie pursue the same practice at almost every election? Why, for instance, did he oppose so good a man as H. W. Porter,- last Spring, after he* had, been - fairly nominated, and for no other reason than because a particular friend and brother bolter in politics had failed to be nominated? and why did he even then, threaten w?.r on George M. Robinson because of the share the latter took in securing Mr. Porter’s el» etion after he had been nominated?

The Republicans of the couhty are waking up grandly to a healthy interest in the campaign. Every meeting, in town oir country, is attended by a large and well-behaved audiences, add every speaker listened to with intelligent interest. There are millions of the best temperanefe people who do not believe that a party based on that question alone will ever result in good. ’ The necessities for the well being of the r? tion demand muclx more fi A its statesmen than to know tk ; they are political enemies of drunkeness. This large class will, therefore, continue to do what they can to defend society from its evils, while they at the same time carry forward the work of upholding the nation in the wide field of work in which every honest citizen should do a yeoman’s part. No party formul&ed with a single idea, to the neglect of all others, ever has succeeded or ever deserves success. Listen not to the siren song of the dulcet voiced democrats vTiile they murmur in your ears the old chestnut, set to music, about how liberal they haye become in politics and liow many of the republican candidates they propose to vote for, and how sweet and brotherly ft thing it would be if the Republicans would intimate their libera] example and put the names of a few Democrats upon their tickets, &c. &c. ft is a very noticeable fact, however, that fin strongly democratic counties, such as Pulaski, Stark and Carroll for instance, the Democrats never perceive the beautiful virtues of liberality in politics, but are uncompromising in their advocacy of the obligation that rests upon every voter of their party of voting tlie straight democratic ticket.

Dr. D. H. Patton admits that as school trustee lie purchased from his wife’s foster mother, a lot for S9OO, which was only worth SSOO. That he has iised the 900 dollar lot for eleven years as a horse lot. This was a bad piece of financial management and such a man should not he trusted to money affairs of state. There was a waste according to the Doctor’s admission of at least S4OO. Our article recited the facts as they appeared of record and shows at least that the Doctor, as a public officer, was unwise and extravagant. “AYith all the search of Bourbon Greenback and Prohibition critics no huch a transaction touching public duties has been laid at the door of the Republican candidate, S. P. Thompson.

A Few Words about Mr. Robinson.

George M. Robinson .served as sheriff of Jasper county from 1876 to 1880, a period of four years. We only state .what is universally known to be a simple truth throughout the county, when we say that in the capacity of sheriff he was a model olhcial, doing his duties promptly, efficiently and with a constant care for the public good. At the same time he was so generous, kind hearted and accommodating in his intercourse with the common people, of the county that he obtained a stronger hold upon their confidence and affection than any other man eVer did obtain. So deep was this affection and so strong was this confidence, that in 1882, when the republicans of the county came to face the Herculean task of wresting from the hands that then held it, the office of county auditor, the faces of the people w.ere turned to Mr. Robinson as the only man in the county whom they felt sure was equal to the task, and he was nominated by the free ballots ot his fellow republicans, by a well nigh unanimous vote, even when opposing hihi was one of the most reliable and deserving young republicans to be found in this or any other county. The contest for the election that followed was, doubtless, more strenuous and bitterly contested than any that ever took in the county, before or since. Mr. Robinson’s opponent nehl /the fort. At his back were the solid Democratic and Greenback organizations, and a considerable body of Republicans, who, deceived by appearances and professions, thought that he deserved a second term on account of exceptional zeal and efficiency as a public officer/ and still others, zealous temperance men, who had been won* by months and -years of persistent wmd-work at tlie weekly blue-ribbonYaeeiings in the court liotise. The democratic and greenback organizations fiung away every other locfd interest in »the attempt to elect thei r phe joint candidate. Trading of tlie most' unscrupulous character was constantly attempted in his interest, and his money was poured out like water, and not,All of it for purposes, that would stand too close a scrutiny there is much reason to believe. Rut Mr. Robinson bore the brunt of that whole campaign and was triumphantly elected. As results of his election the “true inwardness” of the “efficiency” and “fidelity’’ with which the office had been managed under his opponent in the campaign came to be fully revealed. Another result ivas that that opponent no longer tried to masquerade as a Green backer, but became openly known as what lie was, a Bourbon Democrat, of tlie most ultra kind, and the long coalition between the Democrats and the Greenbaekers of the county was finally dissolved. . As auditor of that county Mr. Robinson’s bitterest enemies are unable to show where he has failed in his duty to the people in the least particular. He is a careful, zealous and faithful officer, himself, and he hat* chosen for his deputy and assistant in the exceedingly onerous, difficult and complicated duties of the office, Mr. J. Fj Warren, a fine andr rapid writer, a quick and marvelously correct accountant, and personal v one of the ' most estimable" "anti itieproachaWe young Christian ger «. tlemen to be found in any "community.

Personally Mr. Robinson has, in common with all that are born of women, some faults of disposition and habits, but these faults do not, iu even a -remote degree, justify the torrents of slanderous abuse that are now being poured out upon him by an unscrupulous and malignant enemy. He is genial, frank and obliging, and quite too generous and accommodating for his own good; often losing considerable sums of money through loans and endorsements for others. Although he has at different times held office in the county for almost exactly seven years, he is still a poor man, his his emoluments during that time having beeu vastly less than one of his enemies recently published, and he being'the head of a «very large family which he supports in a most liberal and generous manlier. "With all the facts of Mr. Robinson’s official career and private character clearly before their eyes, (and he is a man whose life and character § clearly before the people— being incapable of any hypocritical concealment) the Republican masses of this county have decided, by a free ballot and a majority that was almost unanimous, that, he shall again be their candidate for the office of Auditor of the ; county. There is not a shadow of grounds for disputing the fairness of his nomination. The masses of the party know him throro uglily, and, thus knowing, they have freely made him their candidate, and to suppose there is any truth or justice in the torrents of abuse and denunciations of which he is now the object, is to suppose that tllo great majority of tlie Republican voters of tlie county are either ~ knaves or fools. "Her features arc not regular, yet what an attractive face she has!’’ It,i% her beautiful hair. Once it was thin, grayish amt fading, A few bottles of Parker’s Hair Balsam wrought the transformation. It will do as much for anybody-
