Republican Platform.

We. the Republicans of Indiana, in delegate convention assembled, reaffirnj' 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 proteetioujand reciprocity. which furnishes a home market for file productions of our factories and our farms, and* protects the American laborer against the pauper labor of Europe. We denounce the unwise and unpatiictlc‘actio'n of the Democratic party in attempting to climate the reciprocity principle from our tariff syt.u-m.Ahe re,by closing a large foreign market to products of American farmers and depressing agricultural interests. We denounce- die present attempt of a Demoeratic Congress to overthrow and destroy the American industrial system, a course that, with a genera! fear of a violent readjustment of the country’s btr-im .■to a free-trade basis, has Increased the national debt and has plunged the country into the most business depression of its history. Im , closed !\rge numbers of banks and fae orles throughout the country, has thrown an unprectsiented number of Am ler can citizens out of employment, Ims compelled thousands of able bodied and mpn to humiliate themselves by asking Ifor chaVfty, and hast filled our broad land with free souphouses and food markets. We believe in currency Composed of gold, sliver and paper, p-eatllly convertible at a fixed standard of value, and eirfreiy under national control, and we favor thk imjxititioii of increased duties upon the hpports from all countries which oppose the coinage of sliver upon a basis to be determined by an international congress for such purpose. We denounce the avowed purpose <>( the Democratic party to restore the era of “wild-cat” money. We believe in a libera! construction of our pension laws, and we condemn the unjust policy of the present Administration of depriving ex-soldters of t .elr jtunskiu without a hearing—a iwllcy in-

tended to cast odiu/ii u|<ou loyalty and patriotism. We believe it Jto be Hie duty of the State, as well as a nation.) to make'suitable provision for the care and maintenance of iili'indigeu soldiers, their wives, and widows. We- there sore, favor the establishment by the State of a "suitable soldiers' home for the reception of such s< ddiers.i tltelr wives unit .widows as may be overtaken by adversity. We demand a rigid enforcement of all existing immigration laws by the national ;mvernmen£Tteet our people and institutions against the intieix of tiie criminal and vieicus classes. We denounce the unpatriotic action of t'ae Cleveland administration iff hauling down the American flag at Hawaii, and condemn the arrogant assumpt ion -of power displayed hr the effort to restore a tyrannical Queen over a free people who had thrown oil tlie yoke of despotism.

' We eondemn-the OTttrageotrs barg.atirmrd~saTe' of Federal patronage by the Cleveland aitminisi traticn hi ItsTrnbiusTulig efforts to usurp tiie prerogatives of the legislative branch of the government to force a favorite r measure through Congress and compel the confirmation ofJPresidenlial appointments by tiie Senate. We condemn tiie reckless and extravagant administration of the financial affairs of this state whereby the people areTjUlrJCcted. to unjust and unnecessary burdens of taxation, by an increased asessmen t of property and increased rate of taxation. and by multiplication of offices to be slip port, d liy tiie taxpayers of tiie State. ~’”We believe that tiie lieiiefolefftr'eiliivatlon'al and correctional institutions of tiie State should be placed iiiideihieii-partisan control. We believe in Midi legislation. State and National, as will protect tiie lives and limbs of employes of railways, mines and factories. We condemn the policies steadily pursued Try the I iemoersttie-Legislature of Indiana in so gerrymandering the State as to deny the peoptp a fair representation of their views-in file State Legislature and National Congress, tlius imperiling the foundations of our institutions.

Wheatfield Township Convention.

."Notice is hereby given to all the Republicans of Wheatfield township and all who wish to cooperate with us in the welfare of the good old party are requested to meet at the Wheatfield school house in the town of Wheatfield at 2 p. m., on SATURDAY, JUNE 30th, 1894. for the purpose of nominating the following officers. One Township Trustee. Two Justices of the Peace. Two Constables. One township Assessor. John Graves, Chairman. Wm. Miller, > ■becy. - T i__ ~ .

The Indianapolis Journal has compiled the spring election figures of seventeen Indiana cities with the following result: The democratic vote in these cities in 1892 wa-s 32,223; the Republican vote was 28,017. At the last election the Republican vote was 29,258 and the democratic v0te<..22,931. Thus the Republican vote increased over 1,200 while the democratic vote decreased almost 10,000. The change in these cities alone is sufficient to change the State.

I Here is the beauty of the Democratic Income Tax as it bears on the savings of the poor. A speaker in a New York protest meeting gives the figures we reprint: “Take for example one institution, the largest in deposits and assets of any in America or Europe, the Bowery Savings Bank, of which I have been a trustee for 30years which may be considered a fair sample for the comparison. We have 102,763 open accounts. Of these 31,304 are under SIOO and more than 25,000 are under $300; or say, 56,300 open accounts, in the Bowery Savings which have less than S3OO each to their credit. These deposits represent the total amount of the capital and are the entire savings of the 56,304 depositors. Please bear in mind that I speak of capital—total posessions, not income—and it is proposed that 2 per cent per annum shall be deducted from the small income of these little capitalists, who have toiled and denied themselves for years that they might h ve a nest egg to keep the wolf from the door in times like the present when work is scarce and they or - their children is hungry.” The income tax was made to catch capitalists with large incomes, but as usual in this class legislation the savings of the economical poor are the first and upon whom the blow falls heaviest. This is Democratic under the Sugar Trust.

Charles R. Pollard is uo longer a candidate for judge. He has switched. He is now on the congressional track, bason a full head of steam and is tearing along at the rate of sixty miles an hour, including stops for coal and water. Just how long Charley will remain on the congressional track no one can tell. He seems to have some trouble in massing his shots and a week hence he may be

aiming at an entirely different tnark. When Charley made up his mind to run for congress he hitched up and drove rapidly over to Monticello to see his erstwhile friend and confidential, adviser, Editor John Rothrock, of the Democrat—Rothrock had received a hint thaE Charley was off the judicial track and on the congressional track and he hustled over on the train to interview Charley They missed each other. When Charley found that John was in Delphi he tore back home. And when John learned that Charley was in Monticello he tore back home. And they missed each other “again.” And so Charley launched his boom, satisfied in fijs own mind that John loved him dearly and would sanction anything that he did. But here Charley missed it •Tagiii.” ................ For last week’s Monticello Dcnwcra,t fairly smoked, yea, sizzled. It took Charley Pollard up and combed the air with him. — Then it churned him up and down. Then it joust,ed him on the hard floor. 7 7"“ Then it jumped on him with both feet. And John and Charley are no ioiigtT friends. John is not for Charley for congress. The silver chord of their friendship is loosed. The golden bowl of their mutual love and affection is broken. They have been divorced. Neither gets alimony but each retains his maiden name. — Delphi Journal.

Eli Perkins on Woman Suffrage.

A very dirty, debased and ignor-ant-looking man came in to vote in a township in Michigan. “I wish you would oblige us by voting this ticket,” said Susan B. Anthony, who was standing at the polls.” “What kind of a ticket is that?” asked the man. “Why,” said Miss Anthony, ‘ you can see for yourself.” “But I can’t read,” he answered. “What? can’t you read the ballot you have there in your hand, which you are about to vote?” exclaimed Miss Anthony. “No,” said he “I can’t read at all. “Well, ’ said the gifted lady, “this ballot means that you are willing to let the women as well as the men vote. “Is that it?” he replied, “then I don’t want it; “the women don’t know enough to voter* "

The League Buttonier.

Acting under instructions in the form of a resolution, passed at the annual meeting held in Indianapolis on Feb. 13, 1894, the ollicers of the Indiana Lincoln League has had prepared a button of special design to be known ss the official League Emblem. The button is made of bronze, with raised bust of Lincoln in the center and the inscription, “Lincoln League of Indiana” on the margin surrounding the bust. It is one of the neatest and most appropriate emblems ever adopted by any political organization, and will tend to uniform and bripg into closer relations the League of Republican clubs in Indiana.

The County Commissioners.

Gravel road matters have taken so much of the Commissioners’ time that they were unable to complete their work last week, and continued their session until yesterday. NO STOCK AT LARGE. Some parties petitioned for an order to allow live stock to run at large in Milroy tp. Instead of granting the petition, the Board entered a general order, repealing all previous orders to allow -stock at large in any paFtuf the coupty. It is therefore now unlawful for any kind of live stock to run at large on any highways or unenclosed lands in Jasper county- .
