Get ready to hear Maine go off next Tuesday. About time for the Democrats to pass another soldier resolution. Marion Hinklb already thinks a sledge hammer has struck him. Applications for life insurance may be left with Marion Hinkle. m m We understand Marion Hinkle has an insurance company to recommend. Let's see,what church does friend Hinkle belong to? Don't all speak up at onqe. Does the Co uner indorse the passing of the Soldier resolution by the Democratic Convention?

John Riuet and Bony Rogers say they were not candidates. Oh yes, like the old woman kept tavern;

Cleveland might get to tbe White House but there is one thing he won't do take his family with him.

Let Republicans remember that over confidence is dangerous. Work! Work! Work!' is the only safe motto.

Wiiele our temperance friends are so wonderfully excited over State and National affairs they evidently forget there is an election near home. P. S. Two commissioners are to be chosen.

The Indianapolis Sentinel charged .

The Courier read the Telephone two weeks ago, and its report of the proceedings were so correct that it comes to the conclusion that the infoi mation come from a Democratic source, and remarks that some enemy Lath done this. Not so, Bro. Feltus, the "ring" has done the same thing so often that it only requires observation.' Thanks that the report was correct. Next Monday Maine holds an election. This time before the last Presidential election the Democrats claimed "as goes Maine so goes the Union." Then Maine elected the Democratic-Fusion ticket by over 6,000. From what we can see and hear, however, the Telephone will

be surprised if the Republican ticket in not successful by8,000 majority.

The Greencastle Times says of Matson's denial of the correctness of his Bloomington speech: "The record against Mr. Matson is too strong and damaging for a denial to avail him anything. There are at least fifty reliable men in the district who heard the speech, and whose affidavits could be obtained if necessary. The utterances were

taken down by a stenographer as they fell from the Colonel's lips, and ar preserved in various prints, and it futile to attempt to counteract their damaging effects by denial. We do not think Mr. Matson will have the hardihood to attempt talking protection at his meetings, but let our friends be prepared to pull the record on him and substantiate

it if occasion requires." m m Th e Telephone claims that it gets some of its information in regard to Pemocratic doings from a Democratic source." Courier. The Telephone did not make such a claim; it only dared a certain person to make affidavit that what it said was not correct. It stated that the Chairman of the Committee on resolutions dare not deny by affidavit that he did not oppose the adoption of the soldier "resolution," and refused to allow its adoption only under the threat that if lie did not it would be read as a "minority" rcpoit. The conspicious "boss" of

the "ring" knew that Hinkle was to be nominated, soldier or no soldier, and opposed it Love for the soldier bosh! The State Central Committee has issued the following, of importance to every voter: "The election will be held Tuesday,Jlsovember 4th, 1884. No one can vote at that election who is not then twenty-one years of age, and who was not a resident of the State on the 4th day of May, 18S4, and continuously a resident of the State from that time on to the time of voting. In addition, he must have been a resident of the township on and after the 5th day of September, 1884, and a resident of the voting precmet on and after October 5th, 1884. Do not forget these dates. There will be many changes of residence in the State after the 5th day of September. We reccommendtothe Republicans to report these moves to the Chairman of the County Committee, giving name, politics, and residence, both past and present. Let every Republican be on the alert, and he will win the victory." "It is reported that Col Matson denies having made the speech that is attributed to him at the Bloomington convention. In conversation with a Democrat in Greencastle, who is interested in manufacturing, it is said the Colonel stated that he didn't make that speech at all, and that he was in favor of protection and, moreover, would make tprotection speeches over the district; that he was not in favor of the Morrison bill, and only voted for it because the majority of his party did so in Congress." Greencastle Times, The Telephone stated at the time that before the campaign was half over Col. Matson would want to go back on his speech before the convention and also on that resolution. But whatever Matson says in the way of a denial of the published report he knows to be utterly false. At the time a published copy was forwarded to him, why did he not deny it then? He knew it was correctly reported, and there is not an honest Democrat who heard him in the convention who will deny it. The speech was reported by a short-hand writer word for word as it fell from his mouth, copied off caie fully from the notes, which are now in the possession of this office. Further than this: the stenographer will make an affida vit that the speech as published was as taken from the orginal notes. Col. Matron's assertions on that occasion were under the excitement of the moment, but they must stand (he test of this campaign, and any effort of his to convey the impression that he has been wrongly reported is owardly and unfair.

Befobe this the Telephone has much disappointed if, Governor, he

published a report that is being circulated that Maj. Calkins the Re-

puDiican candidate tor governor, is a common drinker no better than a drunkard. The fact that it is being repeated by certain "friends" of temperance till those who are not acquainted with Calkins are want to believe it; and there is no better denial of the lie than a letter from his own pastor, a well known Methodist minister: LaPorte, Aug. 13, IS 34. Rev. H. N. Herri ck: Dear Brother Yours of the 11th inst. and also a letter of the same date from Rev. R. F. Brewington, a supernumeraiy member of your conference and a citizen of your place, both asking for information concerning Hon. W. H. Calkins, are at hand.

I have no objection to your making any use of this letter you may thiuk proper. Please show this to Bro.. Brewington. "Yours, fraternally, "C. A. Brooke, "Pastor M. E. Church, LaPorte, Ind." Already the National canvass seems to be determined, and the election of Blaine conceeded. Last Monday the Democratic Cincinnati Enquirer contained a letter from its Washington correspondent in which he said: "After all, it looks from this point of observation as if Ohio must be the Cassius of the National Dem

ington's letter definite questions are

propounded, and I will answer according to the tenor of these. Is he regarded at home as a man of good moral standing? Yes. What are his views on the temperance question V I don't know. I never heard him express himself. I saw a letter that he wrote a short time since to Hon. Baxter, of Richmond, in which he did not: differ from Mr. Baxter except, perhaps, as to methods. From all I know of him, I judge that to be correct. What are his personal habits as to drinking?' I judge he is in the habit of drinking a good deal but I do not think he drinks anything stronger than water or coffee. He is strictly temperate as far as I know or have ever heard. His bitterest enemies have never charged him with intemperate habits, or even tippling. I think his record is clean on that score. 'Is -he a member of the M. E. Church? Yes; he is a member of the charge of which I have been pastor for nearly three years. He' has bean here but little, however, since my connection with the charge, and I have had but little opportunity to know him as a religious man, or that he would claim to be. But there is no stain on his moral character. Anything to the contrary you may set down as a campaign lie, either willfully or ignorantly put forth. What is attitude toward prohibition is I do not know. He is. per-

to the end that the Democracy may make its fight in Ohio, where it has the chances to win, and thus leaven up New York, which is now in a bad way." And the Louisville Courier-Jour-nal, whose Democracy is beyond question, says the same day, in speaking of the Ohio election : "The naked truth is, that Ohio always disappoints Democrats. It is certain to go Republican just when the Democrats have their hearts set upon it going the other way. It has been so Ions; since Ohio cast its electoral vote for a Democrat that I have forgotten the time; it has certainly not been since 1860, and a quarter of a century is a long, long time to us boys who have been waiting on the outside. The best thing to do with Ohio this year is to count it for the Republican candidate. Notwithstanding the rosy view of the situation taken by the Democrats in and out of that State; notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the German Element will vote the Democratic ticket in October, the chances are that the State M ill not be carried by the Democrats."
