"We have earnestly and sincerely tried to our readeis against what we believ. to be the dangers of Bryanism in a plain and honest way. It has been oar studiec effort not to wound the feelings of honesi Democrat's, many of whom are readers the PROGRESS, believing that they do no wish to assist in perpetiating the great wrong that we believe would happen to this country if Bryan's fallacies were adopted. We cannot think they want to assist in a policy that would be injurious to the country that they love as dearly as any Republican can. We know it is for the best interests of this nation that we have two political parties.

The Democratic par. ty has existed so long that it is respected for its age even if it has made mistakes in the past (and we believe it has). "VVe know that Democrats who love their country' prosperity will regret that they voted for Bryan and the Chicago platform. Many the planks in their platform are undemocratic and are not worthy of their endorsement. "VVe have too much confidence in the intelligence of the American people to think for a moment that Bryan's election is possible.

The honor of America as well as the prosperity of her people demands that this fraud upon the Democratic party be rebukec by such a majority that this Populistic element that has ingeniously worked its way into the Democratic organization shall be buried so dtep that its cunning leaders can not find their deluded followers. BEFORE the next issue of the PROGRESS the voters of Indiana county will have bj their votes signified their preference for our county officials. To any intelligent observer the result can be foretold. The entire Republican ticket will be elected by aboul 3,000 majority and C. F.

Murray, the Democratic nominee for County Commissioner, and J. F. Barclay, for County Auditor, both be elected by handsome majorities. D. C.

MACK, our efficient County Chairman, has conducted an active campaign. All the meetings have been well attended. By his good management he has aroused the Eepublican enthusiasm like to "what we nsed to have in this county during the days of Lincoln and Grant. REPUBLICANS, it is dangerous to scratch your ticket. Vote it straight.

Do not be deceived by the ingenious pleading that you can afford to give a complimentary vote. The opposition never give your nominees complimentaries. Vote the straigh Eepub- lican ticket. THE Democratic County Chairman has mailed a personal letter to each Democratic voter, urging them to vote the Democratic ticket straight. That is all right, but let Republicans do the same.

DON'T miss the convention next Friday. Good speeches, big procession, grand torchlight procession at night. Everybody will be here. "Won't you? AMERICANS, if you love your country and are interested in its future welfare, vote the Eepublican ticket. REPUBLICANS, vote the entire Republican ticket from President down to andinclnding County Auditor.

MECHANICS, if you want better prices for your farm products, vote the entire Republican ticket. EVERY Republican should read County Chairman's last words before the close of 'the campaign. FAEJIEKS, if you want better prices for jour iarm products vote the entire Republican ticket. REPUBLICANS, be sure to come to the Republican Eally next Fridny. It will be a grand success.

BUSINESS jiieu, if you vih to increase your trade, ote the Eepublican ticket. LABORERS if you want steady and good wages, vote the Republican ticket. A SIRAIGHT Republican vote on Tuesday will bruit; better times. OUK NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS. lion.

E. E. Bobbins, our candidate for Congress, is entitled to the enthusiastic support of all the Republicans of the Twenty-First district. He is a man in the prime of life. His character is irreproachable, a man of fine education and a cultured gentleman.

Mr. Bobbins was born in North Huntingdon township, "Westmoreland county, September 27, 1859; educated in the common schools, at the Indiana State Normal, and graduated at "Washington and Jefferson College June 26. 1881; read law with John F. Wentling, at Greensburg, and after taking a course at Columbia Law school, New York city, was admitted to the Westmoreland bar April 8, 1884; was chairman of the Eepublican County Committee in 1885; nominated for District Attorney in 1886; elected to the Senate November 6, 1888; is connected with the National Guards -as quartermaster of the Tenth regiment. During his term as State Senator it was soon discovered that he was a states man of rare ability.

We feel confident that he will make us a good representative in our Congressional halls. JAMES G. MITCHELL. Our candidate for State Senator was born in Perrysville, Jefferson county, January 15, 1847; he attended the common schools until the war broke out when he enlisted in Co. 105th Pennsylvania volunteers, being about 14 years old; he was detailed as drummer boy and served during the war; was a captain of the National Guard of Pennsylvania about 10 years.

By his deeds of valor in his country's service, to which the PROGRESS referred in a former issue, he won for himself honors that a grateful people have not forgotten. He has always had the respect and confidence of the citizens oi Indiana and Jefferson counties. At the close of the war he learned the plastering trade which he followed for eight years; was elected County Auditor and was his party's nominee for Assembly from Jefferson county in 1882; he was postmaster at Hamilton several years, was removed by the Cleveland administration and re-appointed dui- ing Harrison's term; has been engaged in general merchandising for the past 15 years; was elected to the Senate in November, 1892, which position he filled with credit to himself and the district he represented. It was not long until Ms Senatorial associates discovered that he was a man of brilliant intellect and that he had the ability to look after the interest of the state at large as well as the interest of his constituents, and had the daring and tact to see that justice was meted out to them. While he was honorable and affable to all, he won the respect of every member.

At our last primary he was unanimously re-nominated. He is a man of the people and for the'inter- est of the people and has clearly demonstrated that he is fully competent to discharge all of its important duties. He is therefore entitled to all of the Eepublican votes in the Thirty-Seventh district. A number that are not Eepublicans will take pleasure in supporting their comaade on November 3, 1896. OUR COUNTY NOMINEES.

Our Republican county ticket, which will be found at the head of our editorial columns, is a good and worthy collection of men. They are well known to the voteis and every one of them deserves the hearty support of every Eepublican. As is usual in political campaigns, attempts are being made to disparage them in various ways by persons who are not their equals in any respect. But our candidates are men whose lives and characters will bear the closest sciutiny and are entitled the confidence and lespect of every voter. They will make faithful, efficient and honest servants of the people.

T. s. NEAL. Our candidate for Sheriff is one of North Mahoning's heaviest taxpayers and is a hard working farmer and lumberman who by his industry and careful management has accumulated for himself a reasonable portion of this world's goods. During the last few years he has been engaged in merchandising at Trade City and is the senior member of the firm of Neal Weaver.

Mr. Neal is a man from the people and will therefore be in sympathy with those he may meet officially in business, but will still have respect to the interest of the plaintiff and defendant alike. He is a man of good moral character and is an active and leading member in the Lutheran church at Trade City. He is entitled to the full vote of our party. ELDER PEELOR.

Our nominee for Prothonotary is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Peeler's management of the office was so very satisfactory that in accordance with our practice a second term was generously conceded him by the Eepublicans of Indiana county. It is his studied effort to accommodate all who have any business in his department. In voting for Mr.

Peelor you cast your suffrage for a worthy man who has forged his way to the iont by his own personal effortsand upright lying. The Republicans of Indiana county delight to honor such a man. PHIL. M. SUTTON.

Our nominee for County Treasurer is a young man of exemplary character. He has respect of all who are personally acquainted with him. We predict that when votes of the four wards of Indiana are iounted Mr. Sutton will have a highly com- limentary vote irrespective of party lines." all of his business transactions he is care- ul and correct. His agreeable manners will make him a pleasant official to all who tran.

business with him. He is entitled to he vote of every Eepublican in this county. HON. JOHN McGAUGHEY. Hon.

John McGaughey, one of our nom- nees for re-election to the State Legislature, is so well known to the Republicans of this county that he needs no introduction from the PROGRESS, for the Colonel's voice has been heard upon the platfoim in every district in county in behalf of the principles of the Republican party. None of our candidates have been more willing to serve the interests of the entire party than he, and his straightforward course in our State Legislature during his last term has won for him the confidence and respect of all his constituents. It is gratifying to us to hear, as we have frequently, the compli ments that have been paid to Mr. McGaughey, the member from Indiana county, by his fellow members during the last session. He was careful and attentive to the requests of his constituents as well as carefully guarding the interests of the state.

Early in the session it was discovered by his associates that he would do just what he believed to be right and could not be intimidated by any influence. As a soldier in the war of the rebellion he always discharged his duty fearlessly. He was seriously wounded in the defense of our country's flag, from which he is a severe sufferer but he never complains. Soldiers, you will not forget your old comrade. We know that the Republicans of Indiana county will delight to support him for he is worthy.

HON. JOHN W. MORROW. Hon. John W.

Morrow, of North Mahoning township, is one of our nominees for State Legislature. Our candidate is a physician at Marchand. He has an extensive practice and has the confidence and respect of all. He is a man of more than ordinary ability. He was a member of our State Legislature during 1891-1892 and no one was held in higher esteem by all of his fellow members.

He was recognized as a member of more than ordinary ability and placed on a number of important committees He was recognized as a man well versed in parliamentary rules and was called upon by the speaker to preside when important and technical cases were brought before them. Under his skillful management order was maintained in a dignified and intelligent manner. He is a man of good moral character and entitled to the entire Republican vote of Indiana county. M. H.

HENRY. Mr. M. H. Henry is one of our candidates for County Commissioner.

He is a man that is known all over the county. He has good business qualifications and has held a number of township offices, all of which were filled acceptably. He was assessor for seven years, which has made him familiar with the values of real estate. He has taken an active part in the development of the county, laboring industriously in our Agricultural Society for 12 years in succession. He has been actively engaged in buying and shipping stock in this county for over 20 years, having shipped from Indiana station 150 cars of horses, besides a larger number of cars of cattle, sheep and hogs.

No other stockdealer has distributed as much money among our farmers as he. In his 'travels over the county he has become acquainted with almost pyery farm, which will be of great use in estimating values ot lands during triennial assessments. We have no hesitancy in saying that he will make an intelligent County Commissioner. There is no other county office that is so important- to the taxpayers County Commissioner and we are pleased to say that the Republicans of Indiana county have in the person of M. H.

Henry a man of intelligence, a man of good moral character, of Scotch-Irish descent, that will do only what he believes to be for the best interests of the taxpayers without fear or fevor. Vote for him. HIRAM STUCHELL. Our other nominee for County Commif- aioner was bom in what is now Rayne township 56 years ago and has always resided in this county. Mr.

Stuchell is a prosperous farmer and is therefore identified with all the interests of the farmer and taxpayer. He has been prominent in the affairs of his township, having served in many of its offices, and he was also a manager of the Indiana Agricultural Society for a number of years. A prominent Democrat said to the editor of the PROGRESS that he would vote for Mr. Stuchell for this reason: 'In all of the township offices he seryed in Eayne everything he did was done in a good business manner and in the interest of the taxpayer, and I think that a man that would be faithful and efficient in township affairs can be safely trusted to look after the interests of the county. I will vote for him and many other Democrats in our township will also support him for the same reason." Mr.

Stuchell served in the war as a member of Company 74th regiment Pennsylvania volunteers. He has always been a sturdy and active Republican, never having voted any other ticket. He is a man of good moral character. He is also of the old Scotch-Irish Presbyterian descent. He is a member of the old Stuchell family that is so well and favorably known in this county.

Mr. Stuchell is entitled to receive the vote of the entire Republican party. He will make a good and efficient Commissioner-one that will do his duty faithfully. DR. M.

M. DAVIS. Our nominee for Coroner is a man of intelligence and a successful practising physician at this place who has attached to himself many warm personal friends. He came to Indiana from South Mahoning township. There is an appropriateness in having a physician fill this responsible office.

He is fully qualified and is entitled to all of the Republican votes. OUR COUNTY AUDITORS. Many persons think that the office of County Auditor is of minor importance but this is a mistake. It is a very important end responsible office. Before our Audit- ors are submitted all the monied transactions of the county.

It is their duty to carefully scrutinize all of the orders diavvn on our County Treasurer and the moneys, paid into the treasury, see that the interests of the county have been carefully guarded, 1 and present an intelligent exhibit of all its doings that every taxpayer cau read and understand. We have in our nominees men who are competent to discharge this duty. George J. Feit is a young man of brilliant mind especially adapted to this kind of work. He is a young man of good character and has a good education.

He graduated from our State Noimal with high honors and is a young attorney who has the confidence of all. Wm. F. George, the other nominee, is an honest, hard-working man with a fair common school education. Those personally acquainted with him know him to be a conscientious man who will discharge the duties of the office faithfully.

Vote for them. ADDRESS TO THE VOTERS OF INDIANA COUNTY.

Stuait Blackton, cartoonist; and illustrator of the New York World, will give one of his novel and unique monologue entertainments in Normal chapel, next Saturday evening, October 31. This is guaranteed to be one of the most humorous entertainments on the road. From a moral, intellectual and artistic standpoint, it cannot be duplicated; comprising as it does such an extensive knowledge of every branch of art; such a deep insight into human nature and replete with so many varied and original conceptions. It ranks among the very highest class of attractions and may truly be called the "Embodiment of art, humor and all that is refined, artistic and elevating."

Uncle Tom's Cabin Next Monday The coming of the well-known and high- Iv successful-southern drama entitled "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Monday evening next, will delight many amusement goers. The company is said to be a good one. The Pottsville Republican of Oct. 10 says: This is the day which the children have been looking forward to for so long to see that time-honored drama, "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The parade at noon time to-day was by far the best ever given by a company playing this piece, and to-day at the matinee the children went wild with excitement whenever Topsy or Lawyer Marks would appear.

The prices of admission will be but 25, 35 and 50 cents, to this interesting drama. 285 2861 287 288 290 291 Marriage Licenses. Hugh C. Wheatfield Twp Lydm Lichtenfels.Wcst Wheatfield Twp Benjamin H. Leisure Garfielc), Pa Emma C.Lichtenfels.West Wheatfield Twp A.

The Star Clipper, of Traer, says: "Mrs. Lowman made a host of friends while here, whose well wishes follow her wherever she goes." DON'T do any scratching on your ballot next Tuesday. It's dangerous business wiien there's so much at stake this year. Vote the straight Republican ticket. IF this fine October weather only keeps up the rest of the week, Indiana will haVe the biggest political meeting in the history of the county.

WIPE out these Democratic times by going to the polls Tuesdaj and voting the straight Republican ticket. EVERY Republican in the county seat should be at Indiana on Friday. I I A W)CflLl DON'T fail to vote. GLEX CAMPBELL. GRASS cloth in these times Is hardly worn so much as the McKinley lawn.

THE man who neglects to vote fails In one of the highest duties of American citizenship. THE Republican party stands for honest finance, protection to honest labor, just government, law and order, the upholding of fundamental American principles, the promotion of prosperity amongst all classes of the people. Its position on the economic issue should be clearly defined upon every occasion during the remaining days of the presidential and congressional canvass. IT is said that brother Bryan tried for the position of press agent of a show before he went into the business of making himself president. After November he will be out of a job and can apply again, and he should have no trouble in finding theatrical company in want of a right smart advance agent with infinite capacity for talk.

Only, If he couldn't advertise the company's show more effectively than he has his own, it would draw more deadheads than paying patrons. A NT7MBBK of the leading physicians of New York have joined in a circular letter to members of their profession throughout the country urging them fearlessly to usa their influence with friends and patients to oppose the candidacy of Bryan and the policy it represents, which would reduce the purchasing power of all incomes, and worse than all, it would turn the American people from the path of honesty to that of repudiation of honost obligations. That the response to this circular will be very general is not to be doubted, for the physicians of the country are both intelligent and public spirited, and they are certain by a large majority to range themselves with those of the other learned professions on the side of honesty and patriotism. MB. BKTAN is now before the country advocating the adoption of a dollar whose value, as measured by gold, is only a fraction over forty-nine cents.

When the Bryan campaign was started the intrinsic value of the silver dollar was fifty-three cents. But during the intervening three months the price of silver has fallen steadily, until now the dollar with which Mr. Bryan would have all debts discharged Is worth only forty-nine cents; and. as there is no immediate prospect of an advance in the price of silver, this dollar may be expected to fall still lower in value. This decline in the' value of silver is of significant facts of the campaign.

The white metal has received a tremendous boost by the campaign which has been waged to saddle the free coinage policy upon the nation. Three national political organizations have taken up the cry of free silver, and from all over the land has resounded the cry of "10 to 1." Yet silver has steadily fallen in value, and will continue to fall, we have no doubt, come what may. The plain inference from these facts is that there has been no real' faith in the success of the cause of repudiation, else the price of silver would have arisen sympathetically. But it is generally understood in all thinking quarters that the cause of Brying is a losing one, hence the condition of the silver market American. Purchasing and Paying- Power.

The contention of the silver orators is that the existing dollars under rhe gold standard have too great purchasing power and too little debt-paying power. What does this mean to the class most deeply interested--the wage earners and the possessors of small savings? It means that gold dollars, or dollars as good as gold because exchangeable for gold, buy too much food, clothing, warmth and shelter. It is for these things mainly that the wage earners' dollars are expended. Does he really wish the market basket to be lighter, the bundle of clothing to be smaller, the rent and fuel to be dearer? This is what "reducing the purchasing power of the dollar" means. A cheap dollar makes almost everything dear except wages; they rise last and slowest of all.

To increase the debt paying power of the dollar means simply scaling down the debt--paying it in 51 cent dollars or in dollars worth less than par value. This might be convenient for dishonest or hard up debtors, but will anybody outside a lunatic asylum knowingly vote to reduce by one-half the value of his savings, his insurance, his loan association securities? This is the silver question for workingmen in a Y. World. Don't forget to go to thle polls and I cast your rote for McKiuley and on Tuesday, November the Third, sl It Is Tfovr a Forty-nine Cent Dollar. The value of the silver in the silver dollar as measured by gold has fallen to a fraction over forty-nine cents.

It has been slowly falling little by little, with no prospect of more than a temporary check to the gradual decline. Three months ago, when Bryan began his campaign, it was under tho banner of a fifty-three per centum dollar, nowitia under the banner of a forty-nine per centum dollar. Altgreld's "Busy Day."
