Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1890 — Petition for Election Supervisors. [ARTICLE]

Petition for Election Supervisors.

Chairmen Michener and Laymen, of the Republican State and county -committees, respectively, and other Mariop county residents having applied \jo Judge Gresham for the appointment of supervisors of election for Marion county, and the latter, in consequence of his absence from the diitrict, has assigned the dhty of such appointments to Judge Woods. The law requires that the district judge’s o'ffice shall be open ten days prior x to the election for the appointment of supervisors. The attention of Indiana soldiers is called to the following extract from a speech by General Cutcheon member of Congressstspni Michigan : There is one thing we have greatly missed ig the present Congress, and that is our weekly list of presidential, vetoes of pension bills. The present chief executive evidently believes no w, as he believed before his election, that it. is no time to weigh. the .gratitude of the country for its soldiers with an apothecary’s scales. In the nine months since this Congress convened no veto of a pension bill, great or small, public or private, has come from the hands of Benjamin Harrison. In addition to the many hundreds of private pension bills which have become a law during this session, we have placed upon the statute book, as a monument of the fidelity of the Republican party to its promises, the act of June 27, under which not hundreds but hundreds of thousands of disabled soldiers, and soldiers’ widows will receive the grateful bounty-of the Nation.

Since the Democratic platform has declared in favor of increasing the appraisements and tax burdens of real estate the Sentinel waxes bold to say ■ *the prospect is that all taxes, lat least for State and local purposes,- except each as may be derived from the sale of franchises, will, in the near future, be laid upon land.” We do not think the future is very near when that will ba done in Indiana.
