There is not a vjbting place within* the limits pt the ’Republic where a Democrat cannot openly deposit his ballot without molestation, and haveTke ballot counted. There are thousands of places where a Republican has no such privilege.

The late Sugar Trust will make a mistake if it fails to change its character when it changes its name. The anti-monopoly law which crushed the trust will be equally formidable against any organization, irrespective of title, which violates its spirit and requirements.

Let all Republicans of Jasper county and vicinity who possibly can do so, come to Rensselaer next Thursday afternoon, and give our honored and able Representative in Congress, and their spontaneous choice for renomination, a rousing reception. There is probably no question at all but that all of Jasper county’s delegates to the congressional convention of next Thursday will give Mr. Owen their unqualified support. If any other cousre is adopted, it will be contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of the Repulbican votes of the county.

For the first six months, ending July 1, the deposits, says the New York Press, in twenty-three savings banks in New York, amoilnted in the aggregate to 150,895,000. This was $14,607*000 more than in the first six months of 1889. But while the deposits show this gain, the real gain to depositors is sls, 000,000 when interests compounded is added to the principal. These are the savings of laboring people, and the increase is made under a Republican system of protection to American wage-work-ers and American industries.

Hon. John W, Lovett, of Anderson, is a prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for attorney general. He is an excellent lawyer and a good man in every way, and would make a firstclass cadidate. He is pretty well known in this county, where he formerly owned property, and frequently visited; and where also he has made speeches in previous campaigns; and lie is an excellent stumper Jasper county’s dele, gates to the' state convention will make no mistake if they give their support to Mr. L6vett.

According' to the forthcoming census report Indiana inakc^. a worse showing for indebtedness thab any other {State in the Un;itm. The onlv Elates that have * I incre jisea their bonded debt since ! JBSO, and the amount of such ini' crease' are: Delaware, $75,000; j Kentucky, $500,000; Mississippi, $413,972; South Carolina, $288,453; Minnesota, $112,000; Indiana, $9,447,220. Of the five States besides Indiana that increased their bounded debts between 1880 and 1890 four are Democratic | | and one Republican, and the total ! increase in all these States was $1,319,425, against an increase of $7,447,250 in Indiana alone.

The evidence is conclusive that not only was Clayton murdered to protect the ballot-box thieves, but that three other men were murdered because it was feared that they would do something to expose the criminals. Even the shooting of one brother by another is so suspicious as to lead to the.conclusion that it may have been done with murderous intent Ballotbox stealing is regarded as a joke, officers who are plainly implicated with lawless proceedings are continued in office, aud murder seems to cause no moral revulsion, if done to elect a Democrat to Congress, or prevent the punishment of those who staff or steal ballotboxes for him. And yet people say that the federal government must not interfere to prevent such crimes when they affect the election of Congressmen.

The Farmers’ Alliance has captured the Democratic nomina- j tions for Congress in about three- { foupths-of the districts in. North Carolina. This may not aid the Republicans directly, but it will : indirectly and ultimately. The Alliance men are Democrats, but they are not Bourbons. Any setback to Boarbonism, suen as this | is, can not help, proving of advant- i age to the Republican party eventually, as well -as to the country generally. In fact, it may be set | down an an axiomatic truth that : whatever aids the Republican par- j ty aids the country generally; and ! also, whatever aids the country j generally aids the Republican ' party. Their interests are one j and inseperable, to-morrow, yesterday and forever.

The difference between the reciprocity of Blaine and that of the Democrats is shown by the following plank from the platform of the lowa Democrats: We are in favor of reciprocity, not alone with the Spanish States of South America, but as well with all other countries whose markets are open to our product.

Mr. Blaine is in favor of reciprocity with the Latin-American States, because they can furnish thfs country non-competitive products, such as sugar, coffee, rubber, e tc., while they would take in exchange from the United States such non-competitive products as flour, pork, etc. The Democrats are in favor of reciprocity with England, and of allowing it to inundate this county with its competing manufactured goods. The Democratic idea of reciprocity is free trade, which is far from being what Mr. Blaine or those who think like him mean by the word.
