Good news From columbus

Columbus, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE grandest
political demonstration that ever took place
In Bartholomew county came of here to-
night, People commenced pouring in the
afternoon, and by shutdown our streets were
one solid mass of enthusiastic Democrats.
Delegations of uniformed men from almost
every township in the county, and some
from Shelby and johnson counties, came In
to take part in the ovation to the distin-
guished gentlemen who were to address them.
AT 7 o'clock procession of over a half
o mile In length, headed by the Columbus
,ernet band, paraded through tho principal
streets. Our Oldest citizens all say Il was the
gwndest sight ever witnessed in the town.
At the time they arrived at the court house
the streets we're so packed that II was with
difficulty that the vast column of living.
enthusiastic Democrats could make their
way through. Five martial bands.

the wild shouts Of the enthusiastic throne.
made up q sight never to be forgotten by the
citizens Of Columbus. 1t so far exceeded in
point OF numbers the expectations Of tbe
most sangune that Democrats were 10 be
seen on oil sides, shaking hands and yelling
with delight 1t so far exceeded the con-
temptble little john A. Logan llzzle of last
Saturday night that Republicans skunk aw,y.
Disguised with themselves and their party.
Ats o'clock, after the noise of the exult-
ant throng had somewhat abated, Governor
Hubbard, of Texas, was introduced, whose
pre- t'timata of the crowd was forcibly ex-
pressed when he said If he had the lungs Of
locomotive he could DOT make himself
heard by that vast audience. His clarion
voice rung out on the night mir In words of
glowing eloquence, rs he told the people how
much such sights encouraged him in the be-
lief that we were soon 10 have one undivided
countryin fact as well as in name. To attempt
even brief mention of his speech would
DO doing him Injustice, His words Of wisdom
were greeted with the widest enthusiasm by
the vast throng He was followed tn brief
but soul stirring speeches from Governor
Gray and tho old war-horse, General Man
son, which were loudly appauded. Taken
altogether the demonstration here to.nigkt
has done vast amount OF good, and serves
to show that the people are thoroughly
aroused in old Bartholomew.
Tho crowd was variolsly estimated at from
1000 to 10000, no one placing it below the
lowest figure named. II will be useless for
the dispirited Radicals to attempt to get upa
Tally here now, rs this one has completely

The Greenback Party.

Eds. Independent:
The opponents of the Green
back party say it is dying out. Let
ms see. One year ago there were
but five Greenback papers in the
United States. To-day there are
over five hundred, read by over a
million of voters, who are awak-
ened to the inquiry as to why la
Dor should pay all the taxes and
the bondholders and bankers pay
none; or why all legislation should
be in the interest of capital and
none in the interest Of labor, as
has been the case for the past fif-
teen years.
The nominees of the two great
parties tend to a continuance OF
the same state OF affairs. The Re-
publicans have nominated an ac-
knowledged champion Of the
bankers, bondholders, and great
corporations, with a corrupt and
discarded Office-holder as their
second choice. The Democrats
have nominated for president o
gallant Union soldier, who knows
nothing of civil administrBtion-a
soldier bred and born in the camp.
Their second on the ticket Is q
millionaire bondholder, and Pres
ident of the National Bankers
Association, with no other recon-
mendation than as such, In twelve
years, on O capital of $4,000 he
made for himself and associates
over half million dollars, besides
the original investment. This was
rasped from the toiling industry
of the country, who in the mean.
time had paid the taxes on his in
vestms MT, while he paid none, and
as specimen of his concern for
suffering humanity, he gave one
dollar, in charity, to the sufferers
rendered destitute by the great
fire in Chicago.
It 10 between two such nomina-
tions as this that an eminent
statesman recently said, "the third
party would be ground to powder
as between the upper and neither
milestone" That can be accom-.
plished only by the bursting of
one of the stones, and as they are
grinding in pairs In the interes:
of untaxed corporations, 1t Is a
matter of no concern to US Green
hackers, which is bursted.
The third party Is the creation
of necessity to save the laboring
millions from the Shylocks of both
this country and Europe. and if
they would escape the fate of OPP
pressed and starving Ireland, they

must stand together ana vo for
the party which is in favor of la
Dor having an equal chance with
capital--tne GreenbacK party.
The old parties may cry US down
and attempt to belittle US. 1t will
do us good. We are marching
right along, and after the next
election if the old party candi-
dates are asked how they feel.

An Association of Old Maids
From the New York Tribune,

from the new ork tribune,
The Old Maids Association, Of
Geauga county, Ohio, had a pic
mic on the lake recently and mus
tered eighty-six souls. This society
was an Out-growth of the war and
was organized in 1862 by bevy
of young ladies whose brothers
and sweethearts were fighting for
their country and left them with
out the resources of male escort,
except the laggards who remained
at home. Unwilling to accept
the gallantry of these young men,
the young ladies preferred to de-
pend upon themselves and formed
the association mentioned. Out
of revenge the gallants dubbed
these independent damsels "old
maids" and they accepted the
cognomen and made it their own.
A humorous constitution and by
laws were drafted by Mrs. G.. Z.
Henry, then single young lady,
and one of the founders of the in
stitution. Man was declared the
common enemy" and one of the
chief objects of the society was
continued war against his ad.
vances. He was religiously ex-
cluded from all meetings, and
special clause of the bylaws said
that any member who should
marry should be fined one hun
dred big copper cents and be
branded in tar on the soles of her
feet, ~. ID. L." meaning "up and
did it," The beautiful consistency
of woman's nature will be appre-
ciated when it is known that every
charter member and nearly all of
eligible age since are married.

EdS. Independent:
Will you please give space to
the following resolutions, passed
by the working men of Baltimore
city, April Z, 1868. They evidence
the loyalty Of that gifted orator
and splendid lawyer, the Hon.
Jas. ii. Grove. to the interests of
the laboring man, at the time he
held the most distinguished place
in the Senate of Maryland, and at
q time too, when labor needed
friends to advocate their cause.
We believe him to be the same
firm friend to-day, and we wish
in some way to express our admira-
tion in tangible form. We recog-
nize in him the poor mans friend;
a man of honor, of generosity and
nobleness OF character which chal-
lenges our respect, and his great
talents fitting him for any posi-
ton, appeals to our judgment. We
now call upon him to be our Judge
in this circuit, knowing the scales
of justice can fall in no safer or
ADLER hands, and we pledge him
our support irrespective of party.
Laboring men read the follow
copy of the resolutions taken from
the minutes of the proceedings of
the Tin Can Association of Balti-
more, and sent us by Louis A.
Jamart, President:
Resolved, That the Baltimore
can makers association return their
sincere thanks 70 the Hon. James
III. Grove for the manly and able
manner in which he espoused our
cause in' the Senate and opposed
convict labor coming in COMPETE
ton with honest men. who are de-
pendent upon their labor for sup
port.
Resolved, That by the said &C.
ton he has entailed upon us a
debt of gratitude that we are but
too anxious to repay, and which
we pledge ourselves, individually
and collectively, to do at any time
the said Hon. james III. Grove
may consent to submit his name
to be used for any position within
the gift of the citizens of Mary

Shanghai.

We have read the appeal made
by the Statesman TO the Demo-
cratic Greenbackers. We have
given it all the consideration ne
cessary to enable US to reply to his
very pathetic questions, and we
fail 10 become infused. So far as
We are concerned, we do not in
tend to lick the hand Of any set of
partizans. Two years ago many
OF those who had always voted
the Democratic ticket, then voted
with the Greenback party, and for
daring to exercise their opinion
many of them were prescribed and
ostracised by the present Demo-
cratic party, which is an innova-
ton upon the true principles of
Democracy. They now see the
handwriting on the wall; they do
not want to see their kingdom
divided and given to right and
justice, and in order to perpetu-
ate the present system Of class
legislation in favor of monopolies,
in favor of capital against labor,
and in direct opposition to the
true principle of Democracy, as
taught us by those noble spirits,
Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun, and
others, who served their country
for their country's good. They
appeal to those who have thought
proper to adhere 10 the teachings
of those great and good men, to
return and assist them in their me-
farious design to place in position
those whose every action would
be solely in the interest of monop-
olists and capitalists, even though
1t reduced US to Imperialism. We
fail to see that the principles
OF the Republican party are more
adverse to Greenbackism than
those of the Democratic party. In
reviewing the platforms of the
two parties they look to US to be
one and the same thing so far as
they relate to financial matters.
Take away the heading and we
cannot tell the one from the other.
We are told that if we do not re-
turn we will find few to give US
credit for our sincerity. We do
not ask nor do we ex ect credit
from bourbons, partizans, or DEM
agogues. We shall never bow at
the shrine of ring captains and
tricksters, and confess political
sins by voting in the interest of
those who are pressing the tyrant's
heel upon production and labor
more and more every year, and
we presume few ifany Democratic
Greenbackers desire to return to
to that fold, either on probation or
in full membership. From our
knowledge of the Greenback par
ty it will stand firm upon the doc
trines of those of whom we have
already spoken, maintaining the
right and abhoring the wrong, and
the day will come when modern
Cyrus will turn the political stream
into new channel and will march
under the walls of their strong.
