Tou will please announce that I am an Independent candidate for Representative Jf Brown and Monroe counties, subject to the will of the people W.D.CLAKK. In as much as the Republicans of Brown and Mouroe counties have not seen fit to nominate "a candidate for

Joint Representative, I desire to, announce my candidacy for thgLt office, iu the eolmns of your paper.. I believe in keeping alive the party traditions by placing a full ticket in the ft ldy and ask the votes of all mv friends. SAMUEL GORDON. THE PROOF IS DEMANDED. Republicans demand the proof of the statement by the Democratic Resolutions that "The County indebtedness of more than One Hundred Thousand dollars is the result of extravagance and corruption." John jf. McGce. wan .the author of the statement and the Telephone note call upon him to prove it.. The Telephone . now offers and asks to publish the proof of the above statement.

Tell the truth!

The grave-yard candidate seems to be lagging. . Don't move now until after the v election, Republicans. m mi m The temperance people desire a word with you, Mr. Matson! What Matson needs to preach now is protection protection from

own record.

Don't let Matson's mid-night revelry take your miqd off of his public reeord; both need discussion.

We are not advised as to how much it takes to makeJMatson drunk; but we can safely state that three drinks won't do it.

The Ex-Prisoner's of War are after you, Mr. Matson. why did you defeat a bill to pension Soldiers who were captured and compelled to lay in such reble dens as Libby and

Andersonville prisons for months at

a time? The "soldier! friend!"

Keep on working; keep on guard. Vigilence is the price of victory! Thb word has gone out: beat Frank Dobeon Jionestly if we can; dishonestly if we must. Something over $300.00 was. the amount Hinkle added to his worldly possessions through the graveyard insurance. m Another leaf is added to the life of P. C. Matson this morning. It was written last Saturday night, with closed doors. It's about time the Democrats were signing anoth er pledge not to use a drop of whisky, considering the effort of last Saturday night. The Courier charges that Dobson is worth $3,000, and has no right to plead poverty. It should

have added that Frank made every cent of it bv hard work; and that he has cared for his old father and mother and his family besides.

Republicans remember that after to-d iy (Saturday, October 4th) any one who changes his residence from one voting place to another that is moves so that he must vote at a different precinct loses his vote for President and all other olficerg. Be on the lookout, and allow no Republicans to lose their right to vote by moving. The Greencastle Banner exposes Matson in reference to the soldiers. He went to Washington a few weeks ago and going to the Pension Bureau asked to be informed as to the status of claims for pensions by soldiers of his district. A letter was given him in each case and these he had placed in government envelopes and forwarded to the claimants without expense to himself. In such cases as had progressed far enough to enable the commissioner to say they would be granted, Matson endorsed "I congratulate you C, C. Matson." The object was to show that he is taking great interest in the claims and to create the impression that he was instrumental in having them allowed, when the fact is it did not take a day of his time, except to make the journey, he did not expedite a single claim one hour, but did take up much time of the clerks in furnishing statements to be used by him as campaign capital. By such means Matson has deceived the soldiers of the district four years, but they have at last "dropped on" to his system. m mm To a few conscientious but misguided men who are considering the policy of voting for a third ticket, we would like them to know that in

the end they give a half vote to the following, taken from the Demo cratic platform, section 16: "We are opposed to any constitutional amendment relating to the subject of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating and mault liquors." The ticket may have the name of "prohibition" upon it, but one of the old parties must be successful; and as Rittevsays "we already have the Republicans defeated" there can be no difference of opinion as to which party such a vote will aid. The Democratic campaign managers having failed in all of their attempts to check the stampede of our Irish-American citizens to

Blaine, have stated the story that

Mr. Blaine is afflicted with Bright's disease, and in the nature of circumstances cannot live long, so that should the republican nominees be elected Gen. Logan will, in all likelihood, be President for the greater part of the next term. But this falsehood, like ad the others,

tends only to augment the number of deserters from Cleveland and Hendricks, and swell the hosts marching to victory u nder the banner of Blaine and Logan. The appointment of General Gresham as Secretary of the Treasury, gives universal satisfaction, as he is known by all the country to be honest, capable and efficient, and the only regret expressed is that he may not continue in the position, but will soon retire to take a po

sition on the bench for which his eminent legal ability as displayed as Postmaster-General and as will be developed as Secretary of the Treasury, will grandly qualified, him t fill.

Explain !

Matson Called Upon! HE SPENDS AN HOUR IN A SALOON SATURDAY .NIGHT !

THE KEY IS TURNED AND MATSON DRINKS TO HIS HEALTH.

AN INSULT TO EVERY TEMPERANCE MAN IN THE DISTRICT.

AN EXPLANATION IS DKDANDED !

READ THE FACTS.

Last Saturday night, September the 30th, there was a scene in this city of which it is the right of every citizen in the Fifth Congressional District to be informed. The Telephone does not desire to make the question of temperance an issue in this campaign, but the question of integiity, of morality, and of sobriety is quite another matter, and upon these questions that of morality the general'public has a right to be fully and thoroughly informed. And in making the above remarks it is not our intention to refer to the disgraceful proceedings of Saturday night, so far as the Democratic excursion to Ellettsville is concerned, though the affair was a disgrace unequaled in the political history of Monroe County, and there is no exception. It is another matter of far more importance, and of which the Hon. C. 0. Matson, the Democratic candidate for Congress, is alone responsible, and for which the people shall demand of him an explanation.

Last Saturday night, between the hours of 10:3d o'clock and 11:30 o'clock, Col. Matson was in a saloon in this city drinking. The doors were locked, and CoL Matson, with others, after coming down on the excursion from Ellettsville, made their way to the old

Kreugar saloon, now- managed by

Nathan Stockwell and Joseph Hesh-

en, and there spent the time until

the train from the South arrived,

when Col. Matson departed for his

home at Greencastle.

As soon as they entered the doors were locked and the drinking began. The Telephone is prepared to prove every word that is said above, knowing full-well the libel law of Indiana. The Temperance people ot Indiana demand an explanation. In the Fifth Congressional District there are thousands of voteis that demand of their candidate for Congress, who ever he may be, a straight-forward, honest, sober life, and in spendyig the mid-night hours in a saloon, in debauchery, C. C. Matson deserve the rebuke of every such citizen. Better had Col. Matson stayed at the good little town of Ellettsville, where a few hours before he sought to teach its people the ways of wisdom, rather than to flee away from them to lock himself up from the the outside world in a whisky saloon in Bloomington. Let the world know what manner ofmanheis; let the voters of the Fifth Congressional District know the moral standing of their candi

date for Congress; let them know the facts! such as they are above. We are prepared to prove them. Republicans, Democrats, Greenbackers and especially Prohibitionists, is your vote to indorse such imd-nigl)t revelry?

And now it is stated that the last ;

three weeks of the canvass is to be spent in Monroe county, on behalf of the Democrats, in showing up county expense). John McGee got the Democrats to say in tUeiir countv convention that Monroe county was in debt 4ovr $100,000, the result of Republican extravagance and corruption," and Republicans demand the proof. The artesian well is to be charged as a "Republican affair;" when it was petitioned for alike by Democrats and Republican, and the name of Marion Hinkle, the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, is one of the signers. The McKiuney robbery is to be charged up to the same account, when the facts are that Democratic Commissioners are responsible for the shortage on the second term, as it was ouiy through their carelessness that it was not prevented, for the law plainly says that the ( om missioncrs shall actually count the cash at the end of each year. This they did not do, or the short age would h ive been discovered in time to have prevented its continuance on the second term. I f the Democratic leaders will have the kindness to compare the Republican rule with the same time of Democratic rule in Monroe county, we say let the show goon. The Democratic New Albany Ledger says of Gen. Gresham's appointment to the Treasury: "President Arthur has done another wise thig in promoting Postmaster General Gresham to the Secretaryship of the Treasury. The appointment is especially gratifying to the people of Southern Indiana, where General Gresham is so well known and so generally esteemed by the people without regard to political opinion or partisan bias. The time is short, it is true, even if General Gresham tills out the term of Mr. Arthur, to accomplish much, but the Ledger predicts that there will be reforms introduced in the Treasury department which have long been needed. Mr. Arthur has made some excellent appointments to office during his term, and none better than the above referred to." The Spencer Democrat says that the "Soldiers greet Matson with cheers wherever he goes." Yes, that's the way they greeted him up in Iowa. Listen how the ex-prisoners of War greeted him: "Hon. C. C. Matson, as chairman, of the Committee on In-ilid Pensions, should be held up to the scorn and contempt of every ex-prisoner of war as a man devoid of fairness; and want

ing in sympathy for the defenders of our country. His pretended friendship for the soldiers and persistent refusal to submit these re

ports and compel favorable or unfavorable action by Congress, is an outrage and an insult to every Union soldier in the land." "Hon. C. C Matson, as chairman, should be held up to the scorn and contempt of every ex-prisoner of was as a man devoid of fairness and wanting in sympathy for the defenders of our country. His pretended friendship for the soldiers and persistent refusal to submit these reports and compel favorable or unfavorable action by Congress is an outrage and insult to every Union soldier in the land. This, however, should impel us to greater vigilance and more aggressive work until the final adoption of the Robinson bill "Ex-l'risoners of War Association in their National Convention.

The Courier will not denv it. Better keep silent on last Saturday nisht.

Now, where is the Temperance Democrat that had so much to say for Matsou ? The Temperance Democrats will please make an investigation and satisfy themselves. Matson is not only for free trade

; but he is evidently for free liquor,!

judging from Saturday night. The Courier says that Frank Dobson is worth $3,000; but it didn't add that he owed none of it

to a grave yard insurance company.)

m The Democracy of Ellettsville should have taken charge of Mat-

son. He is not use to the vices of mimm-atin

This resolution upon which Matson is making the race is as follows. Read it, you protection Democrats: "That M e recognize with pride the distinguished services of the Hon. C. C. Matson, in the able manner in which he has represented the people of this district iu Congress during the period of bis office, and we especsally commend and endoaw his brave stimd in behalf of a tax-bu .- denetl people in vtoing for the Morrison Tariff Bill, the first substantial step that has been proposed in Congress for relenving the people from the suppression of the now unnecessary system of taxation, created to meet the exigencies of civil war, and maintained at its present exorbitant and extortionate rate, only in the interest of a few special capitalists; a system which takes from the people annually $100,000,000 tax in excess of the Governments necessities, and brings no return to American labor, but banishment from the markets of the world, and far greater consequent loss in foreign custom than can be compensated by the foreign competition it excludes."

Teachers and other friends of

Education are invited to taake this store their headquarters, where they will be cordially weloenied. and no

effort spared to make their stav

The Courier makes the statement last week, and it has been circulated in the north end of the county, that Wall Hight is to be Frank Dobsou's deputy. The Courier knew what it said was false for such a report has no foundation, and was only started to make enemies of Frank Dobson of some persons Mr. Hight has made bitter against him by his presistent efforts to secure a turnpike. Desperate cases require desperate remidies. Matson stated that there vas $400,000,000 in the XL S. Treasury lying idle, and yet he defeated the Robinson bill that would have given pensions to many deserving prisoners of War.

.Matsox voted for Carlisle and free trade, for Speaker of the House, against Randall, the Union Soldier and protection. What's the use in denying it.
