The organ of the Republican or-Cco seekers in this county says of Democrats, that "there is no perjury no fraud no species of crime no thieving no villainy of any kind to which those unhung scoundrels will not resort in order to achieve Euccess." Democrats every where in Huntington county will resent this insult and show their manhood in the support of their party and its principles.

The 'Mhd insults' every Democrat in Huntington county by saying of them that "There is no species of crime no: frdud--no perjury no thievery -no villiany of uny kind to which these unhung scoundrels will not resort in order to achieve success" Democrats will teach the rr an and his party who thus brands them as "perjurers and. unhung scoundrels," that they have not yet lost their self-respect, and that from now on they present a solid front for the success of the Democratic party and every man on the Democratic ticket. The Grand Rally. I The Democracy in all parts of the county should remember the grand rally on Saturday, October Oth.

Hon. Charles J. Bogers, of Iowa, addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting at Boanoke last Monday evening. Mr. Bogers' speech was well received and heartily applauded by the Democracy of Jackson township.

His review of Garfield's record a3 a member of Congress on the side of the monopolist and against the people was a candid and convincing argument and commanded the closest attention. The meeting was in every "way a grand success. The Hon. Samuel Clay, of Michigan, will speak for the Democracy of Jackson and adjoining townships at Boanoke, on Tuesday, October 5th, at 3 p. m.

This eloquent speaker should be greeted with a large meeting. The Teachers' Institute. The annual session of the Huntington County Teachers Institute was held in the Court House last week, and a jvery large number of teachers were in attendance. The work was done, for tho most part, by the teachers of the county, although several able educators from abroad were present and participated in the exercises. Profs.

Baldwin, of this city and E. A. Mc-Xally, of Markle, delivered lectures at different times, which contained much of interest and benefit-to the teacnei3. On Tuesday evening, Prof. Bell delivered an interesting lecture upon the subject.

"Young America and His Sister," and Thursday evening Prof. Long also delivered a lecture, Much interest was manifested throughout! the entire work and all who attended were well, repaid for so doing. On Saturday the County Superintendent held an examination, at which time many persons went through the ordeal prescribed by the State authorities for those desiring to teach in the common schools. Strcight at' Huntington. One of the most disgusting harangues to the; Republican leaders of this county.

was that delivered by Col. Streight at the Court House last week. He said that this was a government of parties and not of the people. This was a clincher, and a fact that we have learned in" the past fifteen years; but the people propose to remedy the evil at the coming election. The I speaker then denounced the Democratic party as traitors and Hancock no Ibelter than his party.

This declaration was made some forty or fifty times, with a few disjointed remarks sandwiched in as a kind of variation. The speaker made bold i declare that when his party knewj of frauds as there were in Louisiana) we need not expect to receive a fair; count on the face of the returns. Ie said that Tilden had a majority of the votes down there.but that "we jcounted him out because there had been fraud," and that his party had done right. The speaker, however, failed to excuse his party for turning out Packard, who had re- ceived moro votes for governor in. Louisiana than Hayes did for Presi- dent.

Peri iaps Streight forgot this fact. The main reason, and in fact the only reason, assigned why the Republican party should be kept in powei, whsI to the effect that he was opposed to turning this government over to the bolldozera and murderers who were killing in one single State 1,800 people at each election. When thir re markable statement was made, many menial enquiries were made: "Why don't your party, Mr. Streight. which has bad the army, treasury and the entire control of the country since the close of the war, stop this state of things?" If half be true that the speaker said, it is high time that his party step down and out and let pome oilier party take the reins of "Government.

We will not pursue the harangue further except to say that it disgusted every intelligent and unprej ndiced mind of his party. Democrats, to the Frcnt. .4 i'i it W. W. Dudley says td the RepubU-cans "spot Democrats." DdJey ip United States Marsnal.

But then we appre hend they may come to the" know! edge that Democrats, with many good Republicans, will refuse to sup port this "spotting" policy. Pole Raising, Last Saturday the Democracy of Lancaster: township held a rousing meeting at Majenica, and at the same time raised a most beautiful hickory pole, one hundred and twenty-five feet in height. It towers more than ten feet above a pole raised by the Republicans at that place not long since, and is simply an omen of the victory to prevail at the polls next Tuesday one week. The meeting was very largely attended, arid the greatest: enthusiasm prevailed.

On the same day a grand meeting was held at Claysville, Warren township, and another beautiful hickory pole was raised. The camp-fires are burning brightly all over the county, State, and United States, and the enemy is retreating in haste, disorder and con fusion. One grand charge and the work is done. To-? the front, Democrats. I Shooting Match.

Quite an interesting shooting match was held at the fair ground lasf. Friday, i The match was carried on on the sweepstake plua, and the following score was made: Dan. Helser 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 02 Wm. Kuhlman 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1,1,06 Wes. Graham 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 15 Geo.

The following was the score: Wes Graham 0, 0, 1 A. H.

Wagner 0,0, 1 Geo. Laudemann 1 Ole 1 The second prize was then divided between Wes. Graham and A. H. Wagner, while the same disposition was made of the third i between Geo.

i 1 Laudemann and Ole Thomas. Krone k's Reply. A. W. DeLong of the Herald says that "Charles Kronck has-resigned his position in the Temperance Association," and that Mr.

Kronck 's conduct has disgusted his friends. Now, I desire to say that the first statement is utterly false in every particular, and DeLong shows himself an ene my to every principle that makes an honest man by publishing the falsehood. As to friends being disgusted with me, I apprehend it is that class of men who desire to make the temperance cause a political work, and when they fail to do so in control! ing the votes of temperance men, then it is that they would ostracise their brothers and turn their backs upon those who have stood with them in ttie past and secure their denouncement through the columns of the press. I have at all times acted upon that motto: "With malice toward none, with charity for all," but the motto of these men who are now denouncing Charles Kronck is, "malice toward all and charity for none." It is a known fact that the senior editor of the Herald is powerless to control his own actions, and being thus destitute of self government, it illy becomes jhim to prescribe rules for the government of others. He says that "Kronck has returned to his first love." By this Mr.

DeLong would make it appear that il have again gone to my cups. Is a possible that he would thus seek tourag down the manhood that has been created anew before this people. "Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom; but a man of understanding walketh uprightly," and in addition to this wise saying we might also "A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth and a word spoken in due time, how gooditisl" Acting from these important lessons and bearing in mind the motto I love so well, it will height of joy in me to be ever found extending 'the helping hand to the Herald, praying that he, too; may put on the robe of sobriety, and bence-fcrlh become an example for the youngmen of our beautiful city. As to that unjust attack in the sheet published on Market street, we do not deem it worthy of answer. His position as a consistent temperance man is fully understood before this community, and! when he published that application his worth as a worker in the cause became fully known.

A Ticket-Composed of Work mermen. and One Wlii cli Laboring Man 3 Should, Vote. The time is rapidly neailng when the voters of Huntington county will select men to fill tho various flic as, and it behooves' them, in making such choice, to be very careful that none but the best men be chosen, and men, too, who have- the interest of the people at heart, and who will conduct the public affairs entrusted to them in the most economical manner pos sible, thereby placing no heavy bur den upon the poor taxpayers. Of such men is the Democratic ticket composed, and all are men who, if elected to office, will work for the best interests of the people in county, State and National matters, One among the many important things to come before the Legislature this winter is the election of a United States Senator to succeed Mr! J. McDonald, whose term of office ex pires on the fourth of Marchi The Democratic party is the friend of the poor man, and it is of great importance that at this time we hold our representation in the Senate, in order that the many reforms already inaugurated under Democratic rule may be carred to successful comple tion.

Our candidate for the Legis lature, MADISON MCILWAIN, Is a man in every respect quaunea to fill the position to which he aspires. Born and raised on a- farm in this county, he has jgrown up among our people and has become identified with every interest of the county. Being a bard worker all his life he fully un derstands the wants and need3 of the workingmen, and their interests can not suffer through his election. On the contrary he will labor to better their and will vote to send to the Senate a man fully in accord with the views of the Democracy on all great questions now before the public, He is a farmer, a good man and will make ah able Bepresentative. A good County Treasurer is one of the requisites, for in public accounts as well as in those of individuals, a good financier is real and true econ- omv.

voters snouia oe very careiui in the selection of a man for this important office, for to him is entrusted all the financial interests of the coun ty, and he who holds the position should be a person beyond reproach, a man of integrity, honesty and unimpeachable verac ity. Such a man is JOII2J OVERIIOLT, I The Democratic candidate. Mr. Over- holt is also a hard-working farmer, having'settled Wairen township in 185G and there resided since that tinre. ne has jfilled many offices in his township, and is at present trus tee.

No man ever uttered aught against him, and where he is best known Bepublicans as well as Democrats are enthusiastic in their praises and will support him to a man. A man of the people capable, honest and approachable, he will be elected by a large majority, and will fill the office in the most acceptablo manner. For re-election to the office of Sheriff, JOHN A. W. KIXTZ Is before the people, and is one of the best qualified men for the position that couldbe named.

Having served the county now nearly two years, his administration' has been one of faithfulness throughout that entire time. There is no candidate in the field better fitted for this office, and, in fact, Mr. Kintz seems to be especially adapted tothe duties of the office, and it is no uncommon thing for our people, irrespective of party, to remark that he is the best Sheriff Huntington county ever had, A man of energy, stability and nerve, yet possessed of much feeling and sympathy with humanity, the voters will re-elect him, aud will never I have occasion to regret the choice made. I jonN; c. ALTMAS, Tho nominee for County Surveyor, is the present incumbent, and is well and favorably known all over the county.

He is an industrious, hardworking young man, thoroughly understands civil engineering, and will be retained in his present position, at the election on1 October 12th. His re-nomination by the Democracy was a just appreciation of his ability and worth! j' To all classes of people there is. probably no more important office to be filled at the coming election than that of County CommissiontT. The" Democratic candidate for tins posi tion is 3IILL.ER MORGAN, A resident of Lancaster township. Mr.

Morgan isj also an old resident of this county, having settled here in 1849. I He hasjdone much toward the improvement of the countyj and is one of; Nature true noblemen. -He has served in the capacity of township officer, and is amply endowed with business qualifications that fit him for the duties of a countj' commissioner. While he may have aught to do with the county affairs, no rings or cliques will be able to carry on operations by which the people are systematically robbed of their hard earnings Capable, efficient and honest, he will be a safe man to take charge of the interests of the county, and all who vote for him will never regret their action In so doing. And who of our people not know I JOHN LAWLEU, i.

The Democratic candidate for tho of fice of Coroner Having resided in this city and county for the last forty-seven years past, he has become well-known to all our people, and cainreck-on his friends throughout the coun- ty "by. hundreds. Ha l3 a man above reproach, and one of our most honored, citizens. He" has never ask ed for an office and even in' the present instance the nomination was forced upon him by acclamation 1 by his friends. His nomination is a good one and he will be elected.

The entire ticket is one well worthy the support of every man in Huntington county without legard to par ty. Composed as it wholly of farmers and laboring men, the interests of these classes cannot suffer by its election, but must necessarily greatly benefitted. It was also the unani mous choice of the Democracy of Huntington county, in convention assembled, and not a disparaging word can be uttered in regard to it. It should receive the support of all lovers of good and economical government, and will be elected beyond the shadow of a doubt. i The Joint Discnssion, Pleasant Plain, Sept.

29, 1889. Mr. Editor Our village yesterday was made the place of a lively joint discussion between J. C. Bran-yan and W.

II. Trammell on the political issues of the day, and we thought with your lief we would submit a brief detail of the proceedings to the readers of The Democrat, The speaking was to have commenced at 2 o'clock p. The assembly was at the grove waiting for Mr. Trammell, who appeared near an hour late, with satchel well-filled with Bepublican documents. After a brief council between the champions, wrhose political heat had not yet risen to a degree sufficient to repel the September winds, it was concluded to go to the church where the ladies, true to their noble self-sacrifice, offered their shawls to protect the speakers from the cold.

After the seats were all filled, a goodly number still lingered On the outside. By common consent, Mr. Oliver Fisher and Mr. Hiram Gill agreed to act as moderators. Mr.

Branyan then arose and spoke an hour and fifteen minutes during which time the people manifested the highest type of culture and good manners. He began by asking for order as it was the House of God. He reviewed the Democratic party from the days of Jefferson, showing their ideal of government and ac-quistions i of territory, then in a masterly manner arraigned the Bepublican party for its bad legislation, frauds and ingratitude to the people and soldiers, with a brief investigation of the l'ecords of the Presidential candidates and closed by showing, without a doubt, that the prosperity of the country could not be attributed to the Bepublican party, but to the favor of a good God and some acts of a Democratic Congress. Mr. Trammell then began the response by claiming Thomas Jefferson as a Bepublican of the same type of men, who, at the present time in the lan guage of themselves, are called Be publicans and as Hayes reached forth his unlicensed hand for the Presidency and Garfield for the De- Golyer bid, so did Mr.

Trammell in the face of the intelligent people of Pleasant Plain, claim the administration of Thomas Jefferson with all its merits for the Bepublican party. He became greatly confused with his numerous documents scattered his pa- oers on the ttoor, (when a Democratic friend near by replaced them on the stand,) drank water and read a great deal from his papers. We are told that in collecting his papers, in his excited state of mind, he actually rrnlililofl tin tlo Hinrfli llihlo iirwl ed it in his satcuel. If that Bible could speak, imagine its soliloquy with those Bepublican documents! The mixture was more than "old wine in new bottles." The meeting was a complete Dem ocratic success, leaving them jubilant and hopeful. More anon.

BOLD BURGLARS, Make a Descent Upon the Wabash Railway Baggage Room, and Secure Considerable Sometime during last Sunday night, burglars entered the baggage room of the Wabash railway depot at' this place, an entrance being effected by breaking in the door with an old rail road tie. A mail bag was cut open, but it is thought the contents were not rifled as no loss of money or valu able packages has yet been reported. The thieves also took several, trunks from the room and carrying them quite I a distance down the railroad, broke them open and made a search of the contents. Monday morning they wnre found by Sheriff Kintz and Mike Hargrove, and it was also certained that jewelry and clothing to the amount of about forty dollars had been taken therefrom.

Had the rob bery been committed at some other time, the loss' might have been much greater, as there are often stored in the room truuks which contain articles of much value: Thus far no clue whatever has been obtained as to whom the robbers were. Mention was made last week of the illness of Mr. William Henderson, of Jefferson township, who was attacked by heart disease while at work iu afield. For. a time it; was 1 bought he would recover, but the disease baffled medical skill and death resulted last Friday.

John Batliff, an old citizen of Grant county and a prominent Bepublican, whom many of our readers know as an honorable and consistent gentleman, strikes the editor of the Marion Chronicle, Steele's organ, square between the eves in a recent letter published over his own signature. Among other things, Mr. B. said: "I am not surprised at the course of the Chronicle on this matter when I remember that before the Congres sional Convention Mr.

Ting senior editor of that paper, in answer to my argument that Col. Steele wrs the only man in our district who could succeed against Gen. Slack for Congress, he (Tingley) advocated Maj. Steele's claims on the ground that he could meet his old comrades in the army and take the drinks with them, but old Asbury would not stoop to such a course, and for that reason George would be a thousand votes stronger than his father, and was the man that should be nominated for Congress." The Radical pres3 of this district has been attacking Gen. Slack and publishing one falsehood after; an other in the matter of drinking.

while one of the reasons set forth by one of the editors of these sheets why Geo. W. Steele should be nominated, consisted in the fact that he could "take a drink with the boys, If any Republican in Huntington county desires to see the letter of Mr, Ratliff, in which the above state ment is made, we ask him to call at this office where he shall be accomodated. If wo desired to enter into a personal canvass against tLe character of Geo. W.

Steele, the Bepublican candidate for Congress, we could go even further than the editor of jj the Herald bas in hisabuseof Gen. Slack, but we have' all along believed that the people took no stock in such a course, and we would not give the above statement of Ratliff a place in our columns, were it not for the' fact that the letter in which the item appeared was directed to one of these canting, hypocritical, lying scoundrels who has been abusing Gen. Slack: and the Democratic party ever since his nomination. Come, gentlemen, and see the letter. There is much in it that will throw light on this subject.

Not Much. A vote for Albert G. Porter I and James A. Garfield is a vote in favor of a wise and economical administration of the State and General Governments, as well as in favor of the progress and prosperity of prudent, industrious people everywhere throughout the land. Herald, A.

G. Porter, while a member of Congress, voted against the greenback dollar and making it a legal-tender. James A. Garfield did the same thing. Garfield also voted against remone-tizing silver and also against making it a legal-tender.

Tle Congressional recoi ds also show that Garfield voted to increase the duty on print paper from three to fifteen per thereby increasing the cost of school books and other reading matter. The records further show that Garfield, in Congress, voted to increase the duty on sugar, tea and coffee and that he voted against taking the duty off of salt. Garfield also voted for and advocated the Railroad Land Grants, and every other monopoly known to the legislation of the past fifteen years. We now ask the Meraia to rise up and tell us if these are the things, of "economy and progress" to which he alludes? Do the farmers and mechanics of Huntington county think with the Herald, that their. "prosperity" has been materially enhanced by the votes of Porter) and Garfield We can answer for three-fourths of them, no1 We might go a little farther and invite the attention of the soldiers of the country to the Congressional Globe, part 2d, 2d 38 Congress, page 009-10, here they will find Garfield's record voting to increase the pay of army officers and defeating the proposition to' also increase the pay of the private soldier.

This may be the "economy" to which the Herald alludes, but it will be seen by the boys that the economy only applies to defeating the proposition to increase their pay. The boys say "not much" Garfield for us, and the laboring mechanio and farmer say "not much' not forget it." for us; either. "Do NEW GOODS. New No. 1 Mackerel, per pound.
