DICKERSON VERSUS CASTO. There is something highhanded in the way in which W. W. Casto was forced t)ff of the Republican legislative ticket by the county committee and the nom ination given to H. C. Dickereon, whom Mr. Casto had defeated in the canvention. Mr. Casto having been forced off of the ticket by the committee is given an opportunity to write a letter which makes it appear that his stepping down and out was voluntary. But all this is very thin—too thin to deceive anyone. He worked to secure the nomination and a majority of the delegates were for him. A man who works for a nomination and wins does not voluntarit ly retire for reasons which existed before the convention and did not prevent him from trying to get the nomination. The important consideration is that the Republican county committee seems to be arrogating to itself a power whioh has hitherto been supposed to be lodged exclusively in the party assembled in convention. If a man duly and fairly nominated can be forced from the field and the nomination be given to another whom he defeated in the convention,why should conventions be called?Why notle the county committee and the managers nominate the wnole ticket? Or why not inform delegates in advance that they can go through the motion of selecting a ticket, but that only that portion of their work shall be permitted to stand which suits the managers? This is a species of centralization of power in the hands of a few which the rank and file may approve of, but if they do they enjoy seeing power taken from them and usurped by others more than has hitherto been believed.

As to H. C. Dickerson, who was eelectea to take the place for which Mr. Casto beat him before the delegates, the •GAZETTE has nothing to say in the way of personal disparagement. He comes from good stock and is himself a good citizen. But Mr. Dickerson was the backbone of the Greenback party in the old days in Lost Creek township. He spent his days and his nights then in defeating and stamping on the Republican party which W. W. Casto was supporting. The special objeot of his emnity in those days was one Benjamin Harrison, who had characterized Greenbackers as idiots and proposed the incarceration of them in idiot asylums. Had Benjamin Harrison accomplished his purpose then Mr. H. C. Dickerson would be in close confinement as a Greenback idiot and not now be running for the legislature on a ticket the chief aim and object of which is to return this same Benjamin Harrison to the United States {Senate. Will not the

Rag Baby howl when it realizes the perfidy of one who rocked its cradle?

GLADSTONE made his appearance in the British Parliament last night and was received with cheers. He participated in the debate. Mr. Parnell moved the second reading of his land bill and explained its provisions, but no voto was taken. Randy Churohill announced that the government, at the next session, would introduce a bill to facilitate the'transfer of land, reducing the legal costs.

If this fellow Wiggins is a prophet^ and it is said he predicted the Charleston earthquake, all of us are going to catch hail Columbia on Wednesday, September 29th. On that day, according to Mr. Wiggins' calculations, the earth proposes to shift its center of grav ity and the situation promises to be one of extreme gravity to us poor human in sects crawling around on the peeling of the huge and perturbed sphere.

AT the Methodist conference at Mun cie resolutions were offered by J. Mc Phail, Prohibition nominee for Congress of the Twelfth district, denouncing the use of tobacco and demanding that no more tobacco-using delegates shall be sent to conference and that no person using tobacco shall be allowed to preach. Several members opposed the resolu tions in pointed speeches and they were finally referred to a special committee. If everybody should quit smoking it would everlastingly play smash with the big battle of the labels which has been convulsing cigar making circles for some time.

PARLIAMENT took a vote on ParaelTs I and bill late last night. It was rejected by a vote of 297 to 202. The Chamber lain-Hartington Whigs voted with the Tories against the bill. Gladstone's followers and the Parnellites voted together.

ALTHOUGH the prospeots never looked so bright as now for the election of the Democratic county ticket this fall the friends of the ticket should relax no- efforts to make the victory sure and sweeping. In that effort the Democrats will receive material assistance from thfcir Republican friends, who do not care to stand the dictation of self constituted bosses in the matter of the selection of their county ticket. The Republican managers see the handwriting on the wall already, and although they concede the electiou of a large part of the ticket,no efforts should be spared to make it as decided as possible. The days of bossism and rule by cliques and rings are over. All honor to those Republicans who refuse any longer to obey the dictation of Filbeck! •.

A REPUBLICAN friend of ours who has been a subscriber for the WEEKLY GAZETTE for five or six years, writes to us a private letter, of which the following is an extract: "Since I have been reading the WEEKLY GAZETTE I have learnt the lesson from it in home politics that we should support the best men for our local offices regardless of party. When I was in your office the last time I told you that

the Demo

crats put certain men on their ticket I thought I* should have to vote for them, unless the Republicans made wiser selections. I write you now to let you know that I am going to keep my promise. To vote for five Democrats looks like a big dose out of a total of twelve, but I am going to support Armstrong, Weeks, Allen, Cox and Stout, and do it willingly. I know lots of farmers out my way who see the same as I do in this matter." The GAZETTE is glad to see that its Republican friend has reached that point where he can do justice to good selections on an opposite ticket. It is the highest duty of citizenship to support without prejudice competent men to administer our county affairs for us. There are doubtless many others like our correspondent, who will vote for particular candidates on the Democratic ticket, and in their selections will pick out special names. Their names when all put together will doubtless include the whole Democratic ticket, which is a good one throughout.

THE Arizona Apaches have arrived safely at Fort Marion in Florida. Perhaps their removal will cause the earth to shift its center of gravity and so help along Prof. Wiggins' prophecy. These savages carried a great deal of Arizona and Mexican dirt with them to Florida. Any well regulated scenter of gravity would make on effort to g6t away from them as far as possible.

IT grieves the GAZETTE greatly to notice that the pious Republicans of Parke county have become mere publicans and sinners and that their idea of politics is that it is a sort of "hoss race" or speculative enterprise of some sort which is to be bet on rather than discussed. "Put up or shut up" is new language for Parke .county Republicans.

NEW HAMPSHIRE and Vermont were visited last night by a severe frost which killed vegetation. It would be a neat thing to ascribe it to Senator Edmunds' presence in the Green Mountain State, but unfortunauely for that theory all this section hereabouts was dangerously near the frost line.

JOHN J. O'BRIEN has resigned the chairmanship of the New York Democratic committee. Ex-Congressman Walker is his successor. The change is a good one.*

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

HUSTAK

H. W. Taylor, Greenback Candldate for the Legislature,

Expresses His Opinion on the Failure of the Party to Endorse T. E. Ballard for Congress.

TflfiRE HAUTE, Sept. 22—[To the editor of the GAZETTE]—The action of the delegates to the Eighth district Congressional convention in preventing the nomination of T. E. Ballard for Congress is regarded by many thoughtful Greenbackers as a serious mistake. Even those who were active in preventing the nomination have no better argument to offer than their desire to wreak a petty personal revenge upon a candidate of one old party by electing the candidate of the other old party.

In addition to this motive those who are supporting the Republican candidate declare that since the Greenback party was led into the Democratic camp two years ago this move into the Republican camp now, makes the score even. And they say that henceforth they will not be drawn into entangling alliances with either of the old parties unless some substantial &&in can be made to the Greenback party in the way of exchange of legislative offices.

But what assurance can anyone have, that the same reasons and conditions which were so potent to prevent a nomination at the late convention will not obtain in 1888? If the Republican candidate is elected by the efforts of the Greenbackers (and everybody concedes that he can not be elected without the Greenback vote) will he not make even a greater effort to secure that vote in 1888? In fact is not this voluntary and spontaneous declaration on the part of those who are giving Greenback support to the Republican candidate simply a measure to quiet for the time the wellgrounded apprehensions of many of us who believe that such methods will always be resorted-to by the same persons for the same objects?

Such an opinion obtains very largely in the townshipe where the great bulk of the Greenback vote of Vigo county is cast. To such an extent has the disorganizing effect of such methods gone that the greenbackers of the county at large have ceased to take an active interest in the party and do not attend the Conventions. They constantly suspect a "sell-out" of some sort and hold themselves aloof from the committees, and usually divide up their votes between the two old parties.

This lamentable state of affairs is due to the practice above set forth, and illustrated in the failure to nominate Mr. Ballard, the Prohibition candidate. Along with this practice is another •quaUy reprehensible in which county offices are "traded" between Greenbackers and the minority party at the expense of the congressional and legislative tickets. This practice prevails in other counties in the Eighth district and has doubtless served to help in the rapid emasculation of the Greenback party.

There IB but one plan by which the Greenback party oan ad itself of the disorganizing elements above mentioned. Let there be a thoroughand effective township organization all over every county in which there are two Greenbackers—tor chairman and secretary. Let these orgauizations remain faithful trad vigilant and see to it that no action is taken by any county committee or convention in which they are not actively represented.

Surely the vital and undiminishing importance of the finance question warrants and demands of us this faithfulness and vigilance. And let me say that I am not one of those enthusiasts who believe that the Greenback party is to be swallowed up in the industrial party by the Knights of Labor. Already the two old parties are bidding for the support of the Knights of Labor and apparently obtaining the outward evidences of such support in the placing of Knights of Labor upon their tickets— as the Republican party has done in Vigo county in this campaign. In other states and localities similar movements have taken place, and the Knights of Labor will be, cunningly harnessed to the old party carts as the labor organizations have been heretofore. When elected they will find themselves hampered by the tactics of whatever party has contributed chiefly to their election, and their usefulness in any general reform will be vastly lessened if not totally destroyed.

The Greenback party must not cease to remember the vast interests of the common people that are committed to their care almost solely. Never was there a time when greater activity and energy was demanded of it. And never was there a time when its exertions gave more promise of substantial results.

SENATOR V00RHEES.

li&

He Leaves For Indiana This Week. Washington special to the Enquirer: Senator Voorhees, with his wife and daughter, go to Indiana this week. For some weeks the Sana tor and his family will remain at Terre Haute. While here this summer the Senator has been far from idle. He has prepared two speeches, which, for thought and a review of thp progressive Democracy, will eclipse any previous effort. One will be delivered at Indianapolis on the 27th of September, and the other at Terre Haute on the 28th. Both will prove, doubtless, the key-notes for the campaign. Senator Voorhees never was in better health. The exactions of the last long

Congressional session had somewhat told upon him, but he has now recuperated and is in good form. From the day he puts his foot upon his native heath he proposes to lend his best energies in the campaign of the State, and will likewise contribute his services to Ohio.

MARION GRANGE.

jlhe Eighth Annual fair Now in Progress The improvements in the fairs of the Marion Grange have been steady ever since the matter was first attempted eight years ago. This year's fair commenced yesterday. Of course today the weather will be a serious set-back but it is hoped that these miserable equinoctials will soon be over with and the closing days of the fair will be well attended. The prinoipal show of cattle will be made on Friday at 9 a. m, and at 1 p. m. the grand show of all the stock entered will be made. The making of entries closed at noon today (Wednesday) and it is designed this afternnon to have an examination of fruits, butter, bread, cakes, pies, jellies ets for which the ladies of Marion

Grange are famous. If only the weather will settle down a glorious good time will be had.

The following is a list of the very efficient officers who deserve much praise for their enterprising management:

A. V. Rector, president, Cory, Clay county. Alex Ro,van, vice-president, Terre Haute.

F. J. S. Robinson, general superintendent, Cloverland, Clay county. O. N. Hamilton, secretary, Staunton, Clay county.

G. W. Light, treasurer, Riley, Vigo county. C. P, Rector, John Collins, Worth Mewhinney, Etna Lawrence, F. M. Wickizer, directors.. 'g.

Alex Rowan was in the oity today and reported that the live stock continues to arrive and that, although more stalls were built, they are not large enough to accomodate them all and many herds are turned away.

The following is contained in the catalogue: "If by careful and economical management the proceeds of the Fair are sufficient, all premiums offered by the society will be, as heretofore, paid in full. If from bad weather, OP other ad verse circumstances, the receipts should fall short of expenditures and premiums offered, exhibitors will be paid their pro rata of every dollar received above actual expenditures."

LATER.

The Marion Grange Fair on account of the recent rains will be continued over until Saturday inclusive and entries will received until 9 o'clock Thursday the23rdinst. .«

An Old Settler.

James Wilson, an old resident of Riley township, but for the past 32 years a resident of the northwest, has been back the past week visiting his many relatives in the southeast part of the county where he was raised. Mr. Wilson left Vigo county for Iowa in •1854. In 1862 he went to Idaho of which territory he has been a resident ever since. He has not been back here since 1858. Terre Haute has quite grown out of his memory in that time and he says that if he had waked up here some morning without being told he would not know where he was. Mr. W. is well pleased with his present home which is in Altorras county, Iowa, The occasion of his recent visit to the east, as he calls Indiana, is the shipment of 171 cattle to Omaha. He leaves tonight for his home, which it will take'him five days to reach. His friends in this county were glad to see him but regret that he made his stay so short. They certainly hope that he will not wait 28 years before visiting Vigo. It is worth mentioning in. this connection that Mr. Wilson has 3,000 head of cattle, of a high grade too, he having bought three thoroughbred bulls at Lafayette, this state, and some thoroughbred Short Horns at Omaha.

At Boise City, which is the capital of Idaho, and the place Mr. Wilson spends a portion of his winters, he says Wm. Childs lives. He is an old Terre Haute boy, being the son of A. Child or Adam Child, as the sign read, who kept a book store here in Terre Baute in early days. Wm. Child is the father of numerous little Childs, now grown to men and women.
