Bear These Dates in Mind.

To the Republicans of Indiana: Any voter who moves from one County to another, or from one Township to another, after Sept. 5, or who moves from one precinct, to another after October otli, will thereby lose his vote. Tire election will be held Tuesday, November 4. We request the Republicans of Indiana to keep these dates iu mind, to see that all our friends who contemplate moving are fully advised" before moving, and to notify the local committeemen of all changes of residence which may be made by members of other Parties after either of the dates first mentioned. L. T. Michexer, Chairman. F. M. Millikan, Secretary.

Senator Windom has promptly provided a remedy for the financial embarra&ameniin the Eastern trade center by offering to redeem $20,000,000 of 4| per cent, bonds due in 1891, without any rebate of interest. This should be sufficient to ease the market and . averLall danger of a panic. While the population of the United States ha 3 increased only about 29 per cent, since 1880, its production of pig iron has expanded 160 per cent. As the iron production and the iron market are a fairly trustworthy trade barometer, this immense increase in output indicates a marked advancement in the volume of general business during the decade. The Rochester Republican says, in a complaining sort of a way, in referring to the place of holding the congressional convention, that Rensselaer is about three days journey from Rochester. This is a good deal of an exaggeration, of course, but in any case the distance from Rochester to laer is no greater than thfl

t&nce from Rensselaer to Rochester, anil as the convention was held in Rochester two years ago* tire Rochester people have no right to kick because Rensselaer had it this year. And so far as other portions of the district are concerned, it is the truth to say that Rensselaer is much more easily accessible touehrly all parts of it, than is Rochester. >

1 Never before in so short a time ‘ - * ..... j has the Republican party given j the Democracy so many opportunities to go on record as the | “against”" party as at this session ! of Congress. It says “no” to every ; proposition, all the time claiming that it wants something done in ! the direction of what the Republicans are doing. It wanted more [ silver and then voted against an increase of $50,000,0:0 or $60,000,000 a year. It wanted tariff reform and voted against the only tariff reform bill by which the revenue can be reduced that had any change of becoming a law in the past several Congresses. With Cleveland calling for ballot reform it opposes the only measure that has been before Congress since Cleveland was Buffalo’s hangman by which elections could be. made more honest.

So much has been said about the fall in the price of agricultural products that one would get the impression that they have been an exception. Such, however, is not the case. The fall in the prices of agricultural products from 1881 to 1889 has been as follows: Corn, — . j T 14 per cent; wheat, 19| per cent; lard, 74 per cent; pork, 4 per cent; butter, L 7 per cent; beef, 15 per cent. On other articles of general use which the farmer does not produce the decline in price has been as follows during the same period: Tea, 38 per cent; window-glass, 39 per cent; bar iron, 33 per cent; sugar, 32 per These are rather interesting facts, but they would not do to introduce in a speech designed to pervert voters to the support of free trade on the ground that the farmer alone has suffered from the .decline in prices. _ >

The Republican Congressional Convention was held at Rensselaer, on Thursday. .As was anticipated Hon. W. D, Gwen was renominated on the first ballot. Mr. N. J. Bozarth, the Valparaiso lawyer, who received nineteen votes at the Convention, is a cousin of the editor of this paper. His father, now dead, was a democrat, and was elected and served as auditor, treasurer and clerk of Fulton county in early days. N. J. went into the war when 14 years of age, and has always been a Republican.., —Goodland Herald. Our brother of the Herald

i ought to'be better informed as to | the political fortunes and history of the gentleman in whose relationship he takes such evident delight. Mr. Bozarth did not get nineteen votes in the convention but only eight and a fraction. Instead of having always been a Republican we have the word of a near neighbor for the fact that Mr. Bozarth has voted but one Republican ticket since 1873, and we know, as most of our readers also know, and as Mr. Kitt certainly o ught to know, that he stumped this district a few years ago, as the Greenback candidate for Congress. Will the Herald correct the misstatements in the paragraph we quote above? We think not. Democratic papers, whether of the open and avowed variety or of the masked kind, seldom if ever correct any misstatements which are calculated, in any degree, to be injurious to the Republican party.

It appears that in spite of all that has beeu said in regard to the disability pension act of Congress it is not yet fully understood by all veterans, many laboring under the erroneous impression that it is the dependent pension bill whicUßCr. Cleveland vetoed, and th a ter an, in order to avail its benefits, must not to do manual labor, jM me unable to live without ,\-j} , Krorn public: or private V Bis is not tli*

veteran who is now unable to perform lull manual labor because -of j any injury not the resulfcof vicious habits, is entitled t 6 the benefits of ] flie disability act. As there is i reason to believe that some enemies the law have circulated the report that Only those who are actually dependent upon charity can avail themselves of its benefits, friends of disabled veterans should endeavor to correct such a false imJournal.

The result of the Congressional Convention yesterday while it was expected was none the less enthusiastically' received. The nomination was wisely made. Mr. Owen has grown in strength, sud notably so since the advent of a Republican Congress in which Republicans came to the front. His speech at Rensselaer yesterday was the strongest, clearest, brightest, he has ever made. His Domination and re-election means that the Tenth District stands at the head of the Indiana districts, and that with Indiana at the head of the nation. has retired, Cheadle was defeated, and the forces from Indiana in the next Congress will be new men save Mr. Owen. The force of the position, the credit of it, appeals to citizens of Logansport and Cass county to cast their votes for him. Let us show our appreciation by not only a majority but by a rousing one.—Logansport Journal.

Back Talk from Bro. Shields.

Editor Republican.— An editorial of Aug. 12th, charges me with favoring the proposition to nominate a county ticket by the Farmer’s Alliance of Jasper county, and that said position was taken in the interest of certain Democratic candidates. To the charge I plead “not guilty.” I opposed the ticket scheme in the subordmante alliance and cast my vote, against it in the county alliance. To further substantiate ray plea of “not guilty,” I submit the following communication from the county oilicets of tb.e F. A. I. U. of Jasper county, the original of which accompanies this communication. Rensselaer, Ind., Aug. 12, ’9O. The editorial in the Republican of Aug. 12th, attacking Bro. I). W. Shield, is entirely misleading and untrue. On the contrary Bro. Shields used his influence and voted against the nomination of a count}' ticket by the Alliance.

Jas. Wklcii, Dist. Organizer. D. 11. Yeoman, President. W. H. Hoover, Vice Pres. To further substantiate the truth of my statements, I refer any one reading this communication to J. E. Alter, Dan E. Fairchild, A. E. Pierson, Edgar Bruce, or any member of Jasper Alliance, Center Alliance, or Fair Oaks Alliance. Respectfully, David W. Shields.

The first point in the above communication Ave wish to call attention to, is the error” made in speaking of our issue of Aug. 12, aud it will be noticed that this mistake occuis in both Mi. Shields’ article and in the statement signed by the Alliance officials. Now we

naa WTssue or Aug. 12, that day being Tuesday. What is intended js to speak of Aug. 21st, and the fact that the error occurs in both the statement and Mr. Shields’ article is pretty good evide nee that the eame person is the author of both. In other words Mr. Shields wrote the statement

and the three gentlemen signed it, and in so signing these gentlemen furnish an illustration of how prone even good and true men are to carelessly make or endorse statements which will not bear the test of close examination.

They make the broad statement that the editorial in question was ‘ ‘entirely misleading and untrue” and this sweeping assertion is not modified by anything that precedes or follows it The editorial they refer to, or meant to refer to, covers quite a number of diverse points, and taking the assertion of these gentlemen for all that they say, all our assertions in the said editorial are “entirely misleading and untrue,” our surmise, for instanee, that Mr. Shields wrote the article signed “Alliance” which we copied with the editorial; but we think it safe to assume that they do not mean to deny that Mr. Shields did write the paragraph, nor do we suppose that Mr. Shields himself would make such a denial. Our article also refers to Mr. Shields’ letter regardin'! Messrs. J. W. Powell and E. J 1

Rhoades in the Indianapolis Sentinel. Again we presume that Messrs. Welch, Yeoman and Hoover did not mean to say that our reference in that particular was “entirely misleading and untrue.” No more will they wish to be understood as denying the truth of our reference to the fact that there was a movement in the Alliance in favor of a county ticket, because they, themselves, admit there wrs such a movement, in telliDg Mr. Shields voted in regard to it. Furthermore, we are sure the gentlemen did not really mean to pronounce as “entirely misleading and untrue” our statement that a well managed Alliance, kept on the lines laid down by. Ben Terrell, will be a great benefit to the farmers; and lastly, we are also sure the gentlemen have too clear a sense of right and justice to bh willing to be understood as-declaring untrue our assertion that The Republican has always been friendly to the Alliance. What then did these gentlemen mean w hen they pronounced our entire article “entirely misleading and untrue.” It is charitable to suppose that when they affixed their names to Mr. Shields’ little statement that they had in their minds only the line in our editorial which seemed to infer that Mr. Shields had supported the movement for a county ticket. Now the fact is we did not accuse Mr. Shields of favoring that movement, although we did assert that lie introduced the motion to reconsider, after many opponents of the ticket scheme had left, the meeting. We admit to have been, in part at least, mistaken in that assertion; but we do not think we would make a mistake if we asserted that Mr ; Shields tried to introduce a motion looking towards a so-called “compromise.” And right here we will add, with the intentiop._af—B«yiirg“ nothing that is aT all “misleading or untrue” that we think this little

“compromise” proposition, was meant to play the Republican members of the Alliance for a lot of suckers, by inducing them to give to the Democrats the member of the House of Representatives from this district, in exchange for the election of the Republican candidate for State Senator—Avhose election was known to befas certain as fate, anyhow. It was a shrewd scheme to get seething for nothing, but it did npt Avork, What a couclusive evidence of Mr. Shield’s political adroitness it Avould have beeD, could he have a Democrat sent to the legislature from this, one of the very strongest Republican districts in the state—to have taken by cunning one of ,ihe few liepie-

eentstives'' the Democratic Gerrymander could not steal.

A Pleasant Occasion.

1 Last Fridays August 2flth, the 75th anniversary of Mrs. Elizabeth Bedford’s birthday- was made the occasion fpf a very pleasant time. In the morning Mrs. Bedford went to the home 6f her son Norman Warner, to eat a birthday dinner, and during her absence, her children, grand children and intimate friends and acquaintances, to. the number of 75, (one for each year) gathered at her homestead, near town, and prepared a most elaborate sapper. Keeping the affair entirely secret from Mrs. Bedford, so that on her return she was completely surprised., This kind and friendly act so overpowered Mrs. Bedford that her heart could not give utterance to her feelings, ' . , r . .

The tables Were richly and profusely loaded with the good things of the land, and she was immediately on her return, ushered into the large dining room filled with the numerous guests awaiting her return. When all were - properly- arranged around the tables presentations of presents and speeches were made after which all partook freely of the supper. The meeting was such as is not often held in this locality. The sociability of the occasion was greatly increased by the hospitality manifested by Mrs. Bedford and her husband after her suprise wore off. After pupper a couple of hours was devoted to social gossip and old time talk of fifty years ago after which all dispersed to their respective homes wishing the hostess many returns of her birtli-day and all feeling glad to have been there.
