Little does not deny the killing. but claims
that he wus iustihable. II is now claimed by
those who pretend to know. that Uittle with
deceased and sever, others were having
drunken row, and as they all were going MP
to the bar to drink some one struck Little on
the head with a lager beer glass and then ran
out. Little ran after him and commenced
shooting. The rest ran out aud found that
he had killed Lidhcot. II is the general i'm
preston that Little killed the wrong man
that Liddicot was not the man who struck

which the Wings contended belonged
to the State of Indiana, as part of the
assets obtained from her bankrupt
debtors in 1889 and 1910. but which
the State Agent, Mr.. Michael G..
Bright, claimed as his individual
property. Whether they came to his
hands as State assets, or whether he
bought them with his own money. he
got them for pretty much nothing.
His son said so in the organ of the ca
nal swindle. His brother was in the
United States Senate, and ''log rolled"
through Congress a bill to buy these
lands for a Government dry dock az
an enormous price. Between the two
fraternal suckers of Treasury sugar
the Government was made to pay for
the water lots" about fifty times v hat
they nominalIy cost Mr.. Bright. The
profit, the Sentinel once admitted, was
very great" We should say it was.
1t was enormous. 1t was the foun da-
ton of the fortunes of the Brights.
This was Tweed" case of really
grand dimensions, and, as it occurred
twenty-five years age, it shows how
unchanglug are the economical"
principles of the Democracy. And

mlnistration of Indiana and Marion

Ganundrums.

How does it happen that in every
county, State aud city, where the
Democrats are In power, the public
debt is increasing every year, while
the taxes are becoming more burden
some?
How does it happen that every State
ID the Union, which is now out Of
debt. has wiped out its indebtedness
while under Republican rule?
How does 1t happen that an average
of the rate of taxation In all the coun-
ties of Indiana. shows that in Demo-
cratic counties the people are taxed
81 cents more on the hundred dollars
than they are In Republican, counties ?
How does 1t happen that the Coun-
ty Treasures in Republican counties
IN Indiana have lost nothing by dis
honesty or defalcation. while in Dem
ocratic counties like Franklin, Put
nam and Allen, Democratic officers
have robbed the people of Thousands
of dollars?
How does it happen that when the
Democrats had power in Indiana,
swamp land sgindlers like Bright,
Keaf, Dunn. May and Willard, were
permitted to rob the school children
OF million dollars worth of lands,
and that no trust funds or public
funds OF the State have lost one cent
during ten years of Republican rule?
How did it happen that of the
four last Democratic Agents of State,
only one made a faithful settlement
of his accounts when their terms of
office expired-while every one of
their four Republican successors serV-
ed out their terms and gave full and
honest account of their stewardship?
How does it happen that the Republi-
can State platform pronounces square
~ against the canal swindle, while the
Democratic platform Is purposely 81
lent on the question?
What did Mr.. Riggs, the son-in-
law of Jesse d. Bright, and Wash
ington banker, buy the Sentinel prop.
erty for last May?
Why is it that the Sentinel does not
deny that it is in favor of the canal
swindle?
Why did Bayless w. Hanna, the
Democratic candidate for Attorney
General, say In the State Senate that
an amendment of the constitution of
the State providing against the canal
swindle would be reputation?
Why have Riggs and Bright bought
up the old canal stocks at ten cents
on the dollar. if they do not expect to
carry the swindle through the Legis-
lature by bribery?
Why is it that when Butler, the
king of the canal ring, was in Indian
apolis two years ago, he and the con-
spiratoTs held meeting at the house
Mr.. Bright, in this city?
Why is it that, for a month past,

TIE Courier pitched into Will.
Warren as the bank candidate, and
now whines piteously because its az
tack bad a back action effect upon
James w. L9uer, bank director and
Democratic candidate for Treasurer.
It says Mr.. Lauer is a Trustee and
not Director. tits simply distinc-
ton without difference. The Trus-
tees are to the Savings Bank what
Directors are to- other banks. The
point is, that the custodians of
the City, Township and County
funds. organized themselves into a
bank. for the purpose of receiving de-
posits and loaning money. The in
teresting query with many of the peo-
pie is, does Mr.. James Lauer. Chris
tian Hedderieh, and the Finance
Committee of the City, intend tomake
a joint thing of it, deposit all the
funds under their control in the
Savings Bank, and then loan it out to
poor men at one per cent. q month.
IF so, we congratulate the two or
three Republicans who are so fortu-
nate as to get a thumb in this nice
plum pudding. The whole thing pre-
cents an elegant appearance. Will
the tax payers look at it?

With such strong financial backing

pay taxes.

gard the Courier as having put its
foot in it, when it sprung the bank

County Taxation.

When the Democratic party had
control Of Vanderburgh County the
tax levies for county purposes were
uniformly heavier than those Of the
adjoining counties. The Democratic
Auditor in explaining and apologizing
for these excessive taxes in a card to
the public, made the following state
ment:
1T is impossible to calculate how
the people Of Vanderburgh County
can obviate the necessity of paying
more taxes than the citizens of the
neighboring counties surrounding us"
See Card of Auditor in Evansville
JOURNAL of May 18th. 1851
What lcas ''our in1possi6ility" under
Democratic County management soas
made an accomplished fact under Re
publican management.
By the rule established by the De-
mocracy in 1859. when in power in
this county" it is impossible to OBJ
viate the necessity of paying moro
taxes than neighboring counties -
let rs see how it has worked since the
Republican party has had control in
Vanderburgh County. We have not
the data at hand to give the tax levies
fthe adjoining counties for the past
year or two, but we have the official
figures for the year 1867.
Taking the three counties which
surround us. all Of them having been
controlled by Democratic officials for
many years, we find the following as
the result of the official figures:

James ErsFIne.

It is rot often that political party
Is so fortunate as to secure the SER
vices of so competent and worthy a
man for County Commissioners as
James Erskine. We understand that
the Democracy are circulating the
report that the Republican candidate
for Commissioner, is MIR. Erskine. the
elder, the father of James Erskine.
1t is to be expected that the opposi-
ton will resort to all the petty and
paltry tactics for which, as a political
organization, it has become celebrated.
MIR. J. IEs ERsKINE, the Republ.
can candidate for Commissioner of
the Second District, is comparatively
young man, being in the very prime
of life. He is a graduate of Asbury
University. and practical Surveyor
and Engineer. He has. spent the
greater part of his life in our county,
and is perhaps as thoroughly con-
versant with its past growth and pres
ent necessities as any man in it. He
is particularly familiar with the wants
of the Second District, which he is
to represent on the next Board
of Commissioners. He was APP
pointed appraiser of real estate in
that District, and so conscientious
was be in the discharge of his duty
that he visited personally every part
of his work. and mapped accurately
every portion of real estate in it. Pos
sessing a remarkable memory, and
being very quick in his perceptions as
we'll as accurate in his calculations,
we are confident he will make one of
the most efficient Commissioners the
county ever had. Above all, James
Erskiue is SO conscientious that what
ever position he is called to fill, he
will discharge its duties without fear
or favor. He is just the kind of man
the people must have to look after
their interests. He will not be the
abjest tool Of party or the dupe of de-
signing men. Everybody who looks
to the true interests of the county,
will vote for james EcskiHe.

g Democrats 10 The Rescue !


Is the heading to the pitiful appeal of
the Courier yesterday. 1t was most
pathetic lamentation. and surely must
have softened the obdura.e hearts of
any or all who have been thinking of
abandoning the party. The Courier
is evidently alarmed at the detection
in its own ranks. Well it may be.
There are scores Of good Democrats
who are not prepared to see
the county managed as the city has
been for the past six months. They
have read the attacks upon the Re-
publican candidates, and their manly
answers. They have also read the
scraps of county history. which have
from time to time been published, as
well as the extracts from the official
records. which the Courier has been
utterly unable to meet or refute.
They are satisfied from these facts
that the project of placing the county
in the hands, and under the con-
troll, of the men put in nomination by
the Democratic party, will prove most |
disastrous to the best interests of the
people. We, too, appeal to Demo-
rats to nnmn to the rasnna We
lrge them to turn out and vote
or good men who will attend
O the business of the county,
nd not sacrifice its interests to their
,wn benefit or that of party wire
workers.
We urge them to compare carefully
he candidates on the two tickets, and
hen cast their votes for the men that
hey think will be best qualified and
most certain to fill the Offices hon.
,rably and. faithfully.
