It is wellknown Lost the Repnb
JicMi party is tho most powerful
and bitter ouuniy that ever eau
fronted tliti Democratic organiza
Lion fillet it gutS out to win from
Constable to President regardless
of means or methods und that its
most fearful weapon is money
which is extracted from the great
trusts and corporations whoso in
terest it faithfully serves It iso
known that wherever it has had
power that it made its political
itsr
preachilig and practice it presents
the face of the saint and the sin
ner In all of its administrations
its daily life contradicts its public
professions as declared in its Nat
lanai platform This is exempli
fied in tho Civil Service laws
Preaching an adherence to civil
service it has sent thousands of
competent Democrats homo and
put Iiopublicans in their places
It announced in its National plat
forn adopted in its St Louis con
vention that it favored biuictaliam
under certain conditions and yet
the powerful hand of the money
rings forced ft to adopt the gold
standard It is wellknown that
it line unseated Democrats in Con
yrets to mako places for Republi
cans in u most flagrant manner
its only excuse oftoi based on
part necessity Its kiown that in
J 1870 it stole the Presidency of the
United Suites when Mr Tilden
had n popular majority of 250000
0t
It is known that the most lligrant
and outrageous frauds wore com
mitted in this Stat in 1SK5 Js y
which the electoral voto was given
to McKinly and yet afler all this
past history there seems to be
Democrats in this State who are
not aware of such deeds and who
are in a measure aiding this par
ty in its scheme to father wield
the gavel of political power
It should be remembered that
last year it pooled its interest with
corporate ambition and waged the
most unscrupulous campaign ever
knorsrn in the history of any State
that it was a rule or ruin party
aucuiupHehng thy latter I u
view of all these facts and that no
sign of repentance are discerul t
it is one of the most remarkable
conditions that ever existed in
this State to sec Democrats unde
cided as to State affairs and mol
nilJy aiding Euch political f e
It stems to us that Democrats
who voted for Brown last year
ought to see how discreetly the
Republicans are working and the
ends they hope to accomplish
Their frauds are mapped out to the
intelligent part of their party and
ilm Iim > criits who voted for
Bret II are their only chance to
ga l tliiir point which is the elect
ion uf Mr Yerkes We can not
nod
tiufcrftatid why the hypocracy is
nut disccrnuhiu tu every voter
The Republican are doing all with
in their jKiwor to keep up dissen
lioii in tlio Dpinccratic ranks
TII1 y it r o Hill denouncing Mr
Goebel thougha part of their
leaders are in jail and a part in
tbeunhily land of Indiana all
indictini l or the murder of the
man tluy still curse Their pur
pose is nimlj1 tw keep Democrats
mud and if they can do this they
realize that it means votes for
their nominees votes for the lib
eration of every man indicted for
that dastardy murder Democrats
Brown Democrats lake u p the
history of the Republican party
compare it with the struggle and
accomplishments of the Demo
cratic party see whose garments
1are most spotted Remember that
horn in our own beloved State bay
onent were never used to control
ourlcgislature until Bradley was
elected Governor no democratic
Governor over paraded soldiers on
the streets of our cities to far
ward his partys interest and that
no Democratic Governor over
sought to hide away murderers
suud issue pardons to those indict
ed for assassinaton Remember r
that no Democrat candidate for
Governor over sold his birthright
for political power Remember
that the power of the bayonet aid
ed Deboe in his election and de
feated a free silver vetran that
the o 1 aship of State sane d
smoothly on while under Demo
cratic rule our former prestige
and greatness were the achieve
Insole of Democratic supremacy
Remember that Yerkes is no less
Republican than Bradley or Tu F
tor dint ho must arid will obey
the demands of the party that
elects him The troubles to bo
Fettled aro not of a trifling na
tare The future is froughb with

pr tigtf bo restored to thee be
tho steady a n d unering hand of
Democricy or hall the Republi
can oft
political power and father pros
trato thy iioitlu name This ques
tion will be settled in November
We trust that Democmta will weigh
well tho worth of their votes and in
flucucc for when the bloody hands
of the assassin has been liberated
and applauded it will mark the
darkest day known to civilization
Civil Liberty will get a fall
next Monday in every county in
tho State
The United States will not en

China at this time Our rulers
hold that China is without a gov I

Hon South Trimble has been
declared the Democratic nominee
for Congress in the Seventh dis
trio and his name will go en tho
official ballot Ho was tho only
candidate who put up his funds
and entered tho primary by the
22d of August hence the Chair
man called the primary off and
Mr Trimble was declared the nom
lose He will win
The cases of Henry E Youtsey
charged with tho murder of Gov
Goebel and Holland Whitaker
John Davis and Tallow Dick
Combs indicted as accessories
Iwero continued last Wednesday
until October 2 Whi taker Da
vis and Combs were granted bah 1
in the sum of 3000 each It is
confidently believed that tho man
who fired the shot and who were
with him at the time will be
named Curing tho progress of the
next trial
Tho little sheets of thesRepubli
rtitan party throughout the State
are making a great howl over the
verdict of the jury in the Powers
case They freely assert that it
was secured by perjured evidence
and that powers is innocent The
jury was composedof mixed polit
ical views four of whom held no
good fooling for Mr Goebel The
1o
evidence in tho main came from
Republicans who have heretofore
stood high in their party The
truth is that the jury decided ac
cording to law and evidence and
the Republicans are seeking to
make political capital to use in
the contest now on
ona
A search of tho records at Frank
fort reveals tho fact that during
the Bradley administration in this
State 220 men were pardoned who
had been incarcerated in the pool
tent iarics for killing their fellow
mau and yet the Republican
party is posing as the champion of
Civil Liberty u This record
ought to put lawabiding people
to thinking regardless of political
pinions The turning loose from
our penitentiaries of 229 men in
four years who had shed the blood
of their fellow man is indeed ap
palling If such a record is kept
LIIr for many years who will tell
what the conditions will be Bad
us the above seems to be Mr
Yerkes is now asking the people of
this State to make him Governor
and refusing to state whether or
not he would pardon the murderer
and conspirators who cowardly
assassinated Mr Goebel Men
who fear God and discountenance
murder now have an opportunity
to demonstrate lie
