REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION.

The Republicans of and vicinity will hold a grand ratification meeting at the Court House, Saturday evening, in celebration of the matchless platform nnd ticket, made at the Chicago convention. Short speeches will be made by a number of good speakers, interspersed by vocal and instrumental music. Everybody invited to attend.

The train is coming round the bend, Good-bye, Old Grover, good-bye; It is loaded down with Harrison men, Good bye, Old Grover, good bye. Last week it was Bea Harrison of Indiana. This week it is Ben Harrison of the United States. To all is given an invitation to the ratification jollification, in celebration of the nominatioa. A full report of the convention proceedings, together with the platform adopted, will be found on our inside pages. For the figt time in her history Indiana has a candidate for President , -• C.Hurrah for Ben Harrison!

With Harrison for President and Porter for Governor, Indiana might as well be ranked with the reliably republican states. “Indiana is Solid for Harrison,” have been so last week, as against anybody except another citizen of the state.

Got. limy says Harrison is a stronger candidate than Blaine would have been, and thinks him stronger in Indiana than apy one, else. Gov. Gray is a very shrewd politician. --N

The states .which fur*nish the candidates are doubtful, but the candidates themselves partake not of this quality of their states. They are pliably Republican; every time. . «<

The Chicago Times calls Bep Harrjson “The man with ap nqcestgr/’ A candidate yjt|| an ancestor to be proud of, is preferable to one with an offspring to be ashamed of.

The new democratic paper made jts first appearance last week. The circumstances surrounding the inception of this enterprise forbid the hope of a long career and the quality of the first number scarcely promises a brilliant one.

• Harrison, the grand-father, beat a New York politician, in 1840, who was a candidate for a second term, clear out of sight. Harrison, the grand-son, will do a like service yrith anpthejr New York politician, w)jp wQpts q second term, in 188§.

Rob Jngpfgpll ip getting a good deal of blaipe for pfesjiam’s defeat, on account of the inopportune speech he made in Gresham’s favor, pt the ponveptioD. Bob did make a baj.l break that time, sure, but in all human probability the result would have been the same in any case.

Ren Harrjson pqssesees every elepjepf; pf ay>pabilj|y and nothing pap be against him. There neyer w#s anything jn the bugbear of the Chinese question, apd th,e fact that the California dplpgatiop Ipd tjie i n a B °l‘4 body, is proof enough of fiis standing on the Pacific poast.

The Deinoprats are vehemently pharging “free whisky” in the Republipan platforpi and denying “free trade” in their own. But they PAP not effect anything by that clapior. The people will pee that the Republican party is not for free whisky and that the democratic party is for free trade.

Owing to «some cause, perhaps the combined influence of the Chicago papers, the prevailing sentiment among the Republicans of Rensselaer was in favor of Judge Gresham. - Next to him, however, they were for General Harrison and we have yet to hear a single Republican in Jasper county who does not heartily acqniesce in the action of the cou-

A democratic paper says that t lie Republican party offers cheap w hisky and dear clothing to the people. And the democratic party , went out of power nearly thirty years ago, whisky was 25 cents a gallon and calico 35 cents a yard. When the republican party went out of power, about four years ago, whisky was 4 dollars a gallon and calico 5 cents a yard. Cheap whisky and dear clothing, forsooth.

The two eminent Indianians voted tor at the National Republic can Convention are very similar in one respect, at least. Both are men of the most irreproachable private characters. In this respect Benjamin Harrison is the peer of any man ever before the American people in the capacity of a presidential candidate. Lincoln himself was not more pure nor blameless in the private walks of life. Ben Harrison is pure of heart, pure of words and pure of deeds. He Ir a great lawyer, a great party leader and a great statesman, but pre-eminently and over all he is a GOOD MAN. *=

The statemeht tnade in some quarters that the liepublican platform declaresfor free whisky. is entirely unjustified by the facts* The sixth paragraph of the platfbrfii pfoposesjSsame&sufebf reducing the ttevenue, that the takes on tobacco be repealed and also upon tjdrita uwd ia the arU aud

for mechanical purposes. This ddea not include whisky, because that substance is never used in that \yay. Further on, the platform declares that if the measures proposed do not sufficiently redupe the revenue, that the Republican party would prefer to repeal all internal taxes rather than jo consent to “the sqpender of any part of our protective system at the joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manu-; facturers.” We believe all true} Republicans will pronounce that 1 sound-doctrine. I

The Republican platform is a noble document. It come# out “flat-footed." Ifc says what it means and means what it says. It enunciates Republican principles in clear cut, ringing and unqualified sentences and in language so plain and simple that none may fail to comprehend its meaning. There is no double-shuffling, or juggling with words, no facing both ways and traps to “catch ’em gwine or comin," after the manner of theprohibition and democratic platforms. It is straight goods, “all wool” amj American wool at that, and, like the candidates that stand upon it, is worthy of the best and most glorious days of the best and most glorious of parties. Jn short it is a “rattling good” platform, and ,cold and unpatriotic mjist be tlj,e American heart which is not warmed to the very cockles, by the reading of it.

The .eight hundred and odd duly constituted representatives of ,the Republicans of the nation, met in convention and after long and careful deliberation have perform-, jed the duties for which they assembled. Their first and greatest consideration was to select as a candidate the man who combined in himse’f the most elements of availability, The convention was a great and enlightened gathering of the representative Republicans of the whole country and its opportunities for deciding which of the various eminent men named for the position would make, all things considered, the safest and best candidate, have been almost unlimited. It is safe to conclude that the convention fully availed itself of these opportunities and that their selections are the best that could have been made, under the circumstances. It seems to us that all true Republicans should look upon the matter, in this light, and give the ticket and the platform thej£ earnest and unqualified support.

The following editorial in the Chicago Tribune of Oct 19, 1876, in reference to a speech made by General Harrison, in Chicago, the day before, shows what Mr. Medill thought of Harrison at that time: “Gen. Ben Harrison, the splendid orator and gifted gentlemen, whom, for some inscrutable reason, the people of the State of Indiana failed to elevate to the office of Governor, received a fine ovation in Chicago last evening. The announcement that he would speak at Farwell Hall attracted one of the lalgest, most intelligent, appreciative and enthusiastic audiences that ever assembled in this city, the great hall being densely packed in every portion. The speech was, in every respect, equal to the occasion. A brilliant and; forcible presentment x>f the allabsorbing topics of the hour—a speech the equal of which has been rarely heaid in Chicago. It is given in full in our columns this morning, and. no suggestion is needed that to read it from beginning to end will afford. gratification and profit.”

As our headers well know; there was another son of Indiana, adopted by Illinois, who claimed our special advocacy, but the Inter Ocean is well satisfied with Indiana’s successful son, and with a clear conscience and an earnest! purpose his cause shall be ours. We thought our candidate the! surest to win before the people, but Indiana and New York, both' doubtful and both in portant states, [ have decided against us, and we[ bow to their judgment and shall, do what we can to help them prove; The democrats of Newton county bom their county convention at fit* Ayr, today.

POINTED PLATFORM PARAGRAPHS.

“We demand the reduction of 1 letter postage to 1 cent per ounce. ■ V “We are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection; we protest against its destruction as proposed by the President and his party. They serve the interests of Eqrope; we will support the interests of America. We aepept the issqe and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment.. TJie protective system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always bepn followed by general disaster to all interests except those the usurer and the sheriff

**♦ f ,“We derpapd appropriations for tjj.e early rebuilding of our navy, for the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordnance, and other approved modern means of defense for the protection of our defenceless harbors and cjties, for the payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary work of national importance in the improvement of harbors and the channels, of internal, coastwise and foreign commerce; for the encouragement of the shipping interests of the_ Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific States, as well as for the payment of the maturing public debjt. This policy wjll give employment to our labor, qptivity so our various industries, increase the security of our country, pro.mote trade, open new and markets for our prodpee, and cheapen the cost of transportation. We affirm this to be far better for Wt; countrythan tjie Pemocratip policy of loaning the government money, without interest, to pet banks. \

*»* “The men who abandoned the Republican party in 1884 and continue to adhere to the Democratic party, have deserted not only the cause of honest government, of sound finance and freedom and purity of the ballot, but especially nave deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not fail to keep our pledges because they have broken theirs or because their candidate has broken his. We therefore repeat our declaration of 1884, to wit: “The reform of the civil service, auspiciously begun under the Republican administration, should be completed by the lurther extension of the reform system already established by law. to all the grades of the service to which it is applicable. The spirit and purposes of the reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at variance with the object of existing reform legislation should be repealed; to the end that dangers to free institutieas which lurk in the power of offi dal patronage may bo wisely and and effectively avoided.

“We reaffirm the policy of appropriating the public lands of the United States to homesteads for American citizens and settlers not aliens, which the Republican party established in 1862 against the presistent opposition of the democrats in Congress, and which has brought our great Western domain into such Inagnificent development. The restoration of unearned railroad land grants to the public domain for the use of actual.settlers, which was begun under the administration of President Arthur, should be continued. We deny that the Democratic party has ever restored one acre to the people, but deciare that by the joint action* of Republicans and Democrats about fifty millions of acres of unearned lands originally granted for the construction of railroads have been restored to the public domain in pursuance of the conditions inserted by the Republican party in the original grants.

It is safe to say that when Mn ' Cleveland gets his letter of accept* ance ready to give to the press, it will not, even in a degree, convey apy allusion to the sentiments expressed in the following paragraph from his pen in 1884: “When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temptation to retain public place once gained, and, more than all, the availability a party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of office-holders, with a zeal born of benefits received and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service) we recognize in the eligibility of the president for reelection a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a government of the people.” Start has tedhced prices on his roasted coffee Sets per lb, making them the cheapest Coffee in the market, qwaHty wandered.
