Crow's Case.

r Whore are our tobotira U>-'layV ' Answer, beggnra ai»<l train pH.— b'rteKbiick UtraUl. «Aro all farmers, blacksmiths, type-setters and all who earn, their bread by llicusweatof their faces beggars ahd tramps? Gentlemen, do you vyho labor for the benefit of your families—that you may have something towstain you and yours in sickness and old age- lAtlieve such’ nonsense?

' Tlie dog was bound not to bo separated from his tail, and grabbed it Close tip to the root. • One of Ohas. H. I’rlct’s friends declares that “Charley Is working for hims'.lJ this campaign.'’ Gen. Manson, tlie dissipated candidate, whom tlie democracy hftve nominated for state auditor, is a salary grabber. Tlie democracy want ami boast that they will have tho ‘‘tools” to elect Voorhees. Do they consider Major and Brown tlieir tools? The Chicago SPimcs attributes the hot weather to the fact that there is am increasing disbelief in hell. Are yoR eonvTiifk’ff IJiiU Salafi iskuut uEhumor? Every republican in the county ought to attend ills township primary meeting next Saturday. Tlie Marion township convention will be held in the court house at 2 o’clock p. in. W. W. Garner, editor of tlie Starke enmity A.'TiAj'jMASu_li:is.beeii nomimired by tlie republicans of that county for clerk. The Union congratulates him and hopes he will be elected.

Of course the democratic candidate for county treasurer is a friend of tlie |gjor, else why should he charge ten cents for a pic and ten cents for a rail when compelled at law to settle for work ?

Vomliees is to open the campaign at South Bend next month. He will then sound the key note. Will lie explain his vote'against the Issue of greenbacks, his salary grub and his comniunistie doctrines?

A sample of Satan rebuking sin is for the.average democrat wh.o never scratched a ticket, no matter how dissipated candidates might be, to exhort aii> republican to vote agniust tils ticket because a candidate may have imbibed.

Georgia, democratic Georgia, with her 80,000 democratic majority, now comes to tlie front with a big democratio thief in tlie ]>erson of John late state treasurer, The state is out $250,000. Could a carpet bugg.er possibly beat that?

At the convention last Saturday the ninetecirHSlegates in the name of the democratic party, swallowed the pill prepared by the doctor ami his assistants who have been laboring to sugarcoat it so it would make a crooked face. It went down but it will not be swullQXfeed by all the democrats in the county. 2

The Kokomo Dlqpateh and some other democratic newspapers insist that they only wanted to prevent the nomination of Gen. Manson—not to defeat his election—by circulating the report of his dissipation. None deny the truthfulness of their report, none can, but they protest that it is unfair to use it against him!

ilon. John H. Winterbotham was in town yesterday. He is looking up his chances as a democratic candidate for congress. Wonder if he brought along any of that ten thousand dollars he proposes to spend to secure his election, provided he is nominated? Morgan H. Weir also wants It- He Tiaslio inoncy btit'is a talßer.

lUhiakes a democrat mad to say oil democratic authority that Gen. Manson drinks, and they will stand up and paw the air by the half hour in his defense, but it is iV terrible sin and a shame if a repulilican has ever gone in democratic company and contracted democratichabits. Consistency,stand up, let us gazett]M>u thy fair features.

The heat is prostrating people by hundreds all over the country. Last Monday there were twenty-live cases of sunstroke in Chicago, twenty cases in Mthvmriree, fourteen in Leavenworth and in St. Louis fiftyfour deaths from that enuffe ATdue, and oyer one iiihidred find fifty cases of sunstroke. No doubt some of them wore wiiiskoystrdkes.

The parties who are so busy notifying fanners in Ohio and Indiana not to use labor-saving machines to cut their harvests are Irresponsible persons wlio |oye strife und bloodshed rather than peace and quiet, and are of the communistic element. They will not vote the republican ticket you can rest assured. They are the allies if not members of the democratic jiarty. They will hurrah for Voorhees.

A vote for Major for state senator will be a direct qr indirect vote to elect Daniel W. Voorhees to the United .States senalc. Mr, Voorhees is thegenllemtin who thought a union nqltller ought to t>e provided with an” Iron collar around Ids neck, on which should be td amped, “A. Lincoln’s dog.” Mr. Voorhees is ftlso one of those gentlemen who pocketed the Htdary grub that people made such a fuss about a few years ago<

Hupposu tlie 1 constitution of the Uniled States was 1 fimvtideil so as t*» permit tlie severui states to.iax United Stales bonds or notes, as proposeti by soino, und onid.or more of tlie states wore opposed to the eoiitl nun lice of the governmlmt, but were not, strong enouglL.to do so by force, would not the right to tax the bonds soon destroy government credit ami in Qiis way destroy it? If you do not want to weaken uml destroy our government do not H'.ippoft Bticli ideas.

Tlie republican congressional convention of this (lentil) district, wldeh was held nt Wanatah lust Tuesday, was organized t>y tlie selection of H. I*. Thompson us president und Mr. Ed. Jerncgan set-retuiy. Timm bciiia no opposition to W. fl; Utdlihis lie was nominrtteJl'tiy'ucdaniation. ills course during Ills official life was very heartily endorsed by the convention. He has been a faitiiful servant, of the people and should elected.

It is nonsenso for the nntionnls to tell people tliijf. tliey are an imlepomlent.sepnrate ami distinct party, when, as in Newton, Tippecanoe, White, Porter, La Porte anti Jasper counties, they are acting in conjunction witli the democracy. A few, very few wHling people may pretend to be duped by such shallow pretences; but those who do not at heart really prefer .the democratic party to the republican, party will not be eager to bite at a hook that is so tliinly baited; Birds of feather dock together in politics'as well as in the leafy groves.

cd for representative by the greenbankers at Bradford last Monday. Hon. Anson Wolcott, who tho democrats accuse ! of selling out thegreenbackers to tlie republicans two years ago, “fixed tilings.” He told tlie convention that no man who held democratic principles could possibl.y be elected. There wJsf some dissatisfaction with the sfraightout democrats but they will all take their medicines if tliey Can get a promise from Mr. Brown to vote for VoorliCes. '1 lie nationals are shrewd enough to work for themselves.

Dr. Lougliridge and a few other

democrats assembled at the court house hist Saturday and renominated the county’ ticket their agents put into tlie Held June■ i_!d. Delegates were pre ;ent from Hanging Cirove, Barkley, Marion, Newton, Keener, Carpenter, Union townships. Gillam. Walker, Jordan, Kankakee and Wheatlield townships were not represented by their citizens. It was a tame and spiritless atfalr. But it perfectly revealed what had been suspected and charged, that the jifetended uationals are merely the skirmisii line of the democratic battalion.

Senator Winterbolhum did not take well among the notional greenback democracy of Ilensselaer. lie is reported to have made some very pointed 1 allusions to his wealtfi and ability and willingness to buy a iiomiuation mid election to Congress which some ,of t.benKri.'svMt w-lth indignity. ?4organ 11. Wier has the popular side of tlie opposition sentiment in Jasper county. And it is true that if lie will accept the demoeiatic national greenback nomination at Wanatah, August Ist,lie will iKOiTn a position to dictate terms to the- Bourbon democratic conventionAs*.

gusL7th. There is lio doubt of this Whatever. Buchanan and Test captuied the silver meeting at Indianapolis last winter; Buchunan and Wolcott captured the Goodland convention, June 2tHh; Buchanan and Bray captured the Starr’s hall convention, June 22d; Buchanan aud Wolcott captured the Bradford -convention July 15th; Bucl’.anan and Wier will probably i«ipture the* Valparaiso convention A'dgust 7th. , •

The rottenness of the democratic party Was never more apparent than at the present time. Success and the spoils of office Is aft tire leaders care for. The young men of Jasper county cannot afford to attach their good names to so corrupt a concern. Study it gentlemen; look at it from every stand-point, and we are sure you will become convinced that it is an immoral, anti-Christian association of menjvho control the worst elements of society, and arraj^them against ail that is good that success may be attained. There tire good men who call themselves democrats, we Xno'V, but they are out of place, and were they to studv the democratic party and its acts for the past thirty years as we ask them to study them they would abandon it at-once. What has’the democratic party done for Christianity, for society and education? It has sneered at Christianity and abtisoxl the p’focfaimers of the word; it has fostered intemperance wherever it had ppwef; it claims th ben friend .of mu* school system, but its leudert stole over one million dollars’ worth of swampland, the proceedsqf of which, would have increased our school. Aind'by that amount. If you are ambitious to be a man in deed and in reality, do not put yourself within the benumbing iullucuce of iteforces.
