A Center Shot.

Hon. D. w. olhces, o
Indiana, addressed an immense
audience in the city Of Louis
vile, last Saturday night. Ii
the course of his speech he ad
ministered the following well
directed blow to our gift en-
tcrprise President;
II ask any Radical in the
city of Louisville, when you 60
home, if you will dare to say
to your son of eighteen, "My
son, look at the conduct Of
General Grant, as President
Of the United States; look at
the manner in which he has
grown rich ; look at the man
ner in which he accepts pres.
ents from every man, look at
him, poor when he came into
power and place, but now
worth from two to three mil
lions. Look at him as a pat.
tern for you to follow when you
get a chance" Dare one of
you do that ? l challenge the
father or mother to take their
child by the hand and point
to the conduct of General
Grant since he has been in
power as President Of the Uni
ted States, and tell that child
that there is an example for
him to follow, alongside of
Jefferson, Washington, Madi'
son, and all the great holy sires
of the Revolution.

Radical CpOViiDQ.

How the Radicals did crow
over the Kentucky election
on the first day after the cleo
ton, when their sort Of news is
always .seut forward ! They
rolled the false news under
their tongues as q very sweet
morsel for the first three days.
Now the full returns are re-
ceived, we see that they are
beaten almost $1,000 more
than in 1870. The vote for
Leslie, for Governor being
larger than any ever cast for a
Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor in that State.

A Change.

There are many voters in
Vinton county who have here
toforc voted for Republicans
that are outspoken to-day in ia.
vor of the Democratic State and
county tickets. The Republi
can leaders throughout the
State know and sensibly feel
that this is the case in almost
every county in the State, and
they are not at all satisfied
with the appearance of the
situation. They have no or.
ganization in this county today;
and Judging from the apathy
that pervades the leaders they
will not attempt one this year.
The leaders have been unfor.
tunate during the past yeaEand
the worst is slowly and sure
ly coming. Everything looks
bright for our party this fall,
and there is a fine prospect for
a change of the votes in that
party that has taxed tombstones
70 per cent.

Reform.
All Hands Aboard --- The
Democratic Car is Conn
ing.

If you want to win, jump
aboard the Democratic car
REFORM The brakes are up ;
the car is coming; clear the
track, or jump aboard for the
Democrats are going to win.
A great political revolution
!, going on among the people ;
each day adds to its force, and
all opposed will go down before
it. Last year the State went
against US by default. Had
our vote been out, we would
have elected seventeen mem.
bers Of Congress instead of
five. The fault was ours-we
had the vote but did not poll
it. This year every Democrat
ic vote will be polled, thous-
onds of good citizens who re-
fuse to act with Grants faction,
will openly vote with us, and
thousands more will stay away
from the polls.
In the 10th Congress there
were less than so, but in the
present Congress there are
100! The work goes bravely
on, and this year the people
will make the cause of Reform
triumph, and McCook will be
Governor Of Ohio.

A New Word.

The Radicals leaders have
introduced a new word as an
excuse for the defaulters and
thieves in that party. 1t is the
word "unadjusted," and is used
as a substitute for ''insane.'-
Now, when it is announced
that one of the Office holders
has stolen, instead of saying he
is "insane" or "took the money
in a fit of temporary insanity y
it is simply stated that his sac
counts are unadjustcd.' The
reader can easily see how the
Radical thieves are defended
by their papers.

tariff, 40 per cent.
Every farmer in the county
and the country use these i'm.

The Democrats favor re-

TIE efforts of the Radicals
in many counties Of this State
to SOW dissensions in the ranks
OF the Democracy should not
be needed in the least. The
importance of the State cleo
tion this year is the greatest
incentive to the discouraged
Radical leaders to divide the
Democracy, as they are ex'
tremely anxious to elect a ma
jority Of the Legislators SO as
to ensure the election Of q u
S. Senator and re-district the
State for the next ten years.
Vote for Soule.

The Feeling Against Sena-
tor Sherman.

From all parts of the State
we learn that there is great
feeling against Sherman and
his friends IN packing Radical
Conventions to nominate men
for Representatives and Sena-
tors pledged to vote for him in
the Legislature for U. S. Sena-
tor. Has the man whom the
Republican leaders of Vinton
county have agreed to run for
Representative been interview,
ed by Sherman ? How much
money has Sherman promised !?

What Has Become of the
Taxes.

The official statement pub
lished by the Secretary of the
Treasury, shows chat over
twenty.six hundred millions of
revenue have been collected
since the war while the debt
has only been reduced two hun
dred and eighty-four millions !!
The account stands as follows {:
Taxes paid since the war ST.
600, 100000, Debt reduced
since the war, $2S4, 100000
Money expended since the war,
over the amount of debt re.
duced, $2,3l6,OOO,OOO.
Is it any wonder the people
demand REFORM? Is it strange
the taxpayers declare
THERE MUST BE A CHANGE!
Remember too, that from
the commencement Of Wash.
ington's administration to 1861
when Lincoln became Presi-
dent, a period Of u years, the
whole amount of revenue col.
lected from the people to carry
on the government was less
than fourteen hundred millions;
while in the last six years the
Radical party have wrung from
the people over twenty.six
hundred millions Let every
good citizen think of it. AT.
ter thinking Of it, go and vote
against every man on the Rad
ical ticket. This is the only
way change can be made.

How the Negroes Voted.

How the Negroes Voted.
The beauties Of negro surf
frage were conspicuously ex-
hibited i'm the late election in
Kentucky. 1t is there the law
that the voter shall cast his bal
lot "viva voce"- that is read
from his ticket the names of
the persons for whom he casts
his suffrage. The election
clerks then and there record it.
Few of the negroes in Ken.
tucky and the other Southern
States can read at all. How
then did the negroes vote ?
The editor Of the Evansville
(Tnd.) Courier, who was pres
ent in Henderson on the day
Of the election says;
"In the city there were two
voting-places. AT each of
them a temporary partition
was erected, separating the
white and black voters, and we
observed that the negroes,
without a single exception,
walked up to the officers of
the election with a printed
ticket, published on a reddish
or wine-colored paper, and by
its peculiar color only did they
know that it contained the
names of the Radical candi.
dates. In long lines they
pressed up to the polls, and,
drawing forth their badge of
Radicalism, called out: "Boss
I votes dot Publican ticket"
About one o'clock one of the
Democratic candidates pro-
duced the law which we have
quoted, and insisted that it
should be observed. The off,
GER concluded to try it, and of
the next five negroes who came
to the polls only one Of them
knew more than a single candi,
date whom they proposed sup.
porting. They seemed very
generally to understand that
General Harlan was running
for Governor, but beyond that
the great mass Of them knew
not a single candidate on the
ticket; and the names OF the
candidates might just as well
have been published in Hebrew
as in Roman characters, so far
as the printed tickets served to
enlighten the dusky sovereigns.
Not one in twenty could read
q word, and, beyond the fact
that they had been instructed
to support the candidates whose
names were on the red ticket,
they were as ignorant of what
they were doing as if they had
been pack Of mules"
What a valuable contribu-
ton to the sum total of Amer
ican citizenship F.! How strong.
ly it will tend to the preserva-
ton Of our republican institu,
tions.

Democracy VS.. Centralism.

the science Of government 10y
tire people and the philosophy
of political religion. Demo
cratism or centralism must rule
in this country. Our govern
ment cannot exist part Demo
cratic and part despotic; il
must he the one or the other,
We must have a government
where the people must rule OF
be ruled. We can occupy nc
middle ground. The people
are either sovereigns or sub
jects they must enforce ODE,
dience to their will or yield
obedience to some other power.
Many of our readers will re-
member that the speakers who
addressed the people here last
Wednesday called their atten-
tion to it. Why, who does
not know that the very theory
of our government forbids the
absurJity of two distinct, in
dependent sovereign co'existent
powers of equal or subordinate
authority. Sovereignty cannot
be limited; it must possess
supreme dominion; its rights
to rule must be absolute; no
"pent up Utica" can circum-
scribe its authority otherwise,
being shorn of its supreme at
tribute, it becomes not a
major principle, but but a
secondary quality, the effect of
Il superior cause or power
which exists as a proeguminal
essence.
Democracy teaches that all
power exists in and is derived
from the people; that a Repub-
lie having any other basis is
only one in name, but is the
veriest despotism in fact. De-
mocracy, while it teaches the
original authority or jurisdic-
ton of the people over all
questions Of government, does
not admit that a Representa-
tive system of government in
auywise detracts from the true
sovereignty of the people, any
more than the appointment of
an agent to sell a farm robs the
principal or owner of the title
to his land,
CentraIism or Radicalism
(the terms are synonymous)
denies the authority of the
people, and claims that all pow
er is lodged in the government,
and that the government is
composed of Congress and the
President, and the Supreme
Court, when that body is will
ing to register the edicts of
Congress and the "ukases" of
the President. Acting upon
this theory, Radicalism has
robbed the people of many of
their reserved rights and seeks
to subordinate the few remain.

leaders of the Radical party,

Capitalization.
These are the essential diff

then they each demand such
legislation as will best promote
their respective theories. The

legislation as will advance the
interests Of the people whose

their energies to advance the
interests of Office holders and
monopolists, assuming to be-

BUTTER MAKING IN HoF WEATHER.
When it is very warm and dry we cool
our milk room by keeping wet sheets,

the warmest part of the room. Put a small
quantity of milk in pan and if shelves

gets sour or thick, in twenty-four or thirty
six hours, and sometimes in every warm
