Republican Platform.

We, the Republicans of Indiana, in delegate convention assembled, reallirm our faith in the progressive principles of the Republican party. We believe Its policies, past and present, best calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of the people. The administration of President Harrison and the Congressional legislation of that party were wise, pure and patriotic, and we point to the contrast between the home and foreign policies of that administration and the 'present travesty on government Inflicted on the whole people. We believe In the Republican doctrine of protectionj'and ireciprocKy. which furnishes a home market for the productions of our factories and our farms, and protects the American laborer against the pauper labor of Europe. We denounce the unwise and unpatriotic action of the Democratic party in attempting to climate the reciprocity principle from our tariff system, thelreby closing a large foreign market to products of American farmers and depressingagricultural interests. We denounce the present attempt of a Democratic Congress to overthrow and destroy the Americuu Industrial system, a course that, with a general fear of a” Violent readjustment of the country’s business to a free-trade basis, lias Increased the national debt and lias plunged the country into the most disastrous business depression of Its history, lias closed large numbers of banks and factories throughput the country, has thrown an unprecedented number of American citizens out of employment, has compelled thousands of able bodied and men ■to humiliate themselves by asking [for charity, and has tilled our broad land with free sou{>liouses and food markets. VI clleve in currency composed of gold, silver and paper, ‘readily convertible at a fixed standard of value, and entirely under national control, and we favor the !in|>osltlon of Increased duties upon the lni|K>rts from all countries which oppose the coinage of silver ii|K>n a basis to lie determined by un Internal lona 1 congress for hiicH purpose. We denounce the avowed punxise of the Democratic party to restore the era of "wild cat" money. We believe In a lilMTal construction of our tension laws, and we condemn the unjust policy of the present administration of depriving ex-soldters of tlielr jwnslon without a healing—a policy Intended to cast odium upon loyalty and patriotism. We believe It to be the duty of the Htate, m well a* a nation, to make suitable provision for Ihe care and maintenance of all Indigent

soldiers, their wives, and widows. We, theresore, favqr the establishment by the State of a suitable soldiers' home for the reception of such soldiers, their wives and widows as may l>e overtaken, by adversity..~, • We.demand a rigid enforcement of all existing immigtiition Maws by t lie nutioual government, and demand such further legislation as will protect our people and Institutions against the influx of the erimiinil atid vicious classes. We denounce The unpatriotic action of the Cleveland administration in hauling dowp the American flag at Hawaii, and Condemn the arrogant .assumption of power displayed ih the effort to restore a tyrannical C’ueen over a free people who had thrown off the yoke of despotism.

We condemn the outrageous bargain and sale of Federal patronage by the Cleveland administration in its unblushing efforts to usurp the prerogatives of the legislative branch of the government to force a measure through C ingress and compel the ennfirmafioirof Presidential appointments by the Senate. We condemn the reckless and extravagant administration of the, financial affairs of this state wherehy the people are subjected to unjtist and. uiinedt-s----sary burdens of taxation, by an - increased assessment of property and increased rate’of .taxation, and by innitipiication of offices to be supported by the taxpayers of the State, We believe that the benevolent, edticational and correctional institutions of the State should he placed under non-partisan control. We believe in such legislation. State and National, as will protect the lives and limbs of employes of railways, mines and factories, W’e condemn the policies sie uhly pursued by the Democratic legislature of Indiana in so gerrymandering the State as to deny the people a fair representation 'of - their views hi tne State Legislature and National Congress, thus imperiling the. fimm.luJ inns of our institutions.

WALKER TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Walker, tp., and all others that, will be legal voters at the November election that wish to co-operate with us, meet at the Snyder school house on SATURDAY, JUNE 2nd at 2 p. ra., sharp, for the purpose of nominating a full township ticket. Every man who wishes for the return of good Republican times are invited. John O’Connor, Geo. Meyers, Ohm. Sec’y. Workingmen who are striking for higher wages do not seem to understand that high wages and Democratic rule are incompatible. The way to get high wages is to return the party of high wages to power.—Kansas City Journal, April 2G, 1894. When our friend McEwen of the Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel looks over the Tenth district aud sees the principal federal officers filled with anti-Cleveland-ites, why should he continue his high sounding praises of those who “turned him down?” —Winamac Democratic Journal. Neither Missouri, Texas nor Arkansas possess a worsted mi l or a carpet factory, nor have Texas and Arkansas a single specimen of a paper mill or an iron or steel industry. Yet the representatives of these states undertake to make tariff schedules for New England.—The Providence, R. 1., News of April 23.

Those Democratic contemporaries who are justifying Senator Turpie’s drunken ribaldry against Senator Aldrich are in a very disreputable business. Not only was Turpie’s conduct in that instance most out-, rageous, and disgraceful, but he had absolutely no cause for it. Senator Aldrich had asserted that the Democratic committee was preparing a new tariff bill, and this assertion was the ostensible cause for Turpie’s ribaldry—but that Mr. Aldrich was correct in his assertion was fully proven by the practically new tariff bill introduced in the Senate, last week.

These lower wages spread disaster in even greater proportion Men with smaller earnings must’ spend less money and buy fewer goods. Thus, with a greater inlux of foreign goods, the demand :or American goods must be less and less. It will affect the stores, both wholesale and retail, where ess help will be needed, competition for employment be greater, and wages lower. Clerks and bookkeepers of all kinds must pay less rent, property values must decrease, and thus disaster spread from one to another, involving all in the network of destruction that has been prepared by these few Free-Trade representatives and senators. Even now there are 42$ per cent of the wage earners in 100 factories of the State unemployed who were busy workers only two years ago.

It is not pleasant news to good Americans that because of lack of orders the great Roach ship yard on the Delaware is about to close its gates for the first time in history. What is more, if Congress passes a free ship bill the gates, opened.—Boston Journal, April 30, 1894. ' v . -

Attorney General Green Smith has; brought eight suits in the Marion county courts—three against express companies, two against palace car companies, two against telegraph companies, and ono against a telephone company —ostensibly to collect taxes due A case is pending in the U. S. Supreme Court to decide the constitutionalityof the tax, which, however decided, will make Smith’s suits unnecessary. But there is a fee for the Attorney General in each of these cases, which 13 the motive for bringing them. The Democratic party of Indiana has foisted a great many odious men upon the people of the state, at one time.or another, but not in its whole history one more wholly and entirely odious than Green Smith. There is not a single redeeming feature in his official and political character.

John Me Id ugh, the Tippecanoe county accident, thought he was doing something smart when he engineered through the last legislature his bill providing that all city officers should hold office for four years. It was an ill-advised aud dangerous experiment and the result conies home to the democratic party in a shapo that cannot be lightly considered. Nearly every city in the state elected republican officials last week, and Lafayette, where Mr. McHugh sought to perpetuate democratic control, went with the majority. Fur the next four years republicans will control about all the city officers and draw the salaries attached.—Mouticello Democrat. McHugh’s bill, referred to above, aud designed to perpetuate democratic control of cities, was a piece of political villainly second only in degree of infamy to the democratic gerrymanders in this state. That the bill now re-acts with such telling force upon the party in whose interest it was designed is a striking case of falling into the pit dug for the feet of others. But why did not our democratic contemporary in White county, and others all over the state, ever perceive the iniquitous characters of the McHugh act, until it resulted in the injury of the democrats? So long ab its ill effects were confined to Republicans, it was evidently all right in their estimation.

That Trouble in Lake County.

The various contradictory reports that have been published regarding an occurrence at Hammond last Saturday, have caused much bitterness of feeling between the respective partisans of Messrs. Johnston and Landis, throughout the district. The Landis men accuse the Johnston men of having stolen, for their own use, a train chartered to carry the Landis men to Crown Point, to the county mass convention, to choose Congressional delegates; while the Johnston men retort with the counter charge that the Landis men had a train offered them in good time, but that they found that they were so greatly outnumbered by the Johuston men, that j they availed themselves of the supposed train-stealing as a good excuse for stayi-g at Hammond, and kicking up a row. The whole trouble was probably the result of a few unlucky misunderstandings, much more than to any intentional crookedness, upon either side. The agent of the Chicago & Erie R. R., at Hammond, makes affidavit, that he attached the Landis cars to the Johnston train, under orders from the general officers of the road; and that none of Johnston's | friends had asked or suggested ( that action. The agent’s orders were to take the Johnston men to Crown Point and then to return for the Landis men The principal blame would seem to rest upon the railroad officials

THE REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTION.

It Nominates Marion L. Spitler, of Jasper County. The Republican convention to nominate a candidate for joint representative from Jasper and Newton counties was held at the court house, at Rensselaer, Tuesday afternoon. Jno. Ade, of Newton was chairman, W. B. Austin, of Jasper, secretary. G. E- Marshall, of Jasper assistant secretary, and Jira Skinner, of Newton, and J. F. Bruner, of Jasper were tellers. An alphabetical list of the delegates was prepared, aud the method of . voting was by calling the names in succession, and each delegate coming forward and depositing his vote as his name was called.

When names of candidates were called for, VV. B. Austin presented that of M. L. Spitler; J. A. Lamborn that of Chas. E. Mills; and | John Uirey that of J. B. Lyons, of Newton Co., the present representative. Four ballots were necessary to settle the matter. They are here given: Ist 2nd 3rd 4th Spitler 15 14 16 19 Mills 9 11 9 15 Lyon „.10 9 9 As soon as the result of the fourth ballot, Mr. Mills moved that the nomination of Mr. Spitler be made unanimous, which was carried, with enthusiasm. Mr. Spitler was called for and | came forward and made his ac- j knowledgements to the convention j in a very graceful manner, and j which made an excellent impres-1 sion. The convention was com-, posed of 34 delegates,—lß from Jasper county and 16 from Newton. It will be seen that at no time were all the Newton county , | votes given for Mr. Lyon. This j was owing to quite a general feel- , ! ing among the Newton county I delegates that Jasper county was entitled to the nomination. We are firm and honest in our statement that nothing equals Brant's Balsam (or cure o 1 JJall coughs, colds, ; throat or lung trouole, as the many j letters we have on file help to prove. A recent one (rom W, E. Rumpel, i Columbia, Mioh. says: “1 caught a severe cold on my lungs last winter and tried several other remedies which did me no good, nntil my lnngs got in a very baa shape’ * (opiates always hurts the lnngs) “bat two bottles ot Brant’s Balsam cured me. I felt better | before had used half a bottle. Ueti Brants of A. F. Long & Co.

New standing committees are: Streets, Wasson and Woodworth. Finance, Coen and Rhoades. Dr. Alter re-elected president of the Board. Burgess Dillon was unanimously elected night-watch. Other applicants were George Wood and Ott Clark. Geo. K. Hollingsworth, the councilmen from the third ward, resigned and E. D. Rhoades was appointed to fill the vacancy. The night watch is instructed to remain at the depot until 9 o’clock p. m., hereafter instead of 10 o’clock as heretofore. Delos Thompson, gravel road contractor, offered to construct a stone arch bridge, over Mabemself ditch, on Van Rensselaer street, on the line of the gravel road, for S3BO. , which sum the town is to pay $165; | the county $165 and the gravel road contractor SSO. The last amount | being what a wood bridge would cost. Alter and street committee ap--1 pointed to investigate the matter and to close contract if thought advisable. Proposals to gravel Front street, and to make a wider gravel pike on Van Rensselaer street than the township gravel road contract calls for, were considered. Committees were appointed to investigate and a special session called for Tuesday evening, to take farther action. At the special session Tuesday evi - ning, no action was taken on the street graveling proposition, but the proposal for a stone arch on Van Rensselaer street was accepted.
