TIE OLoVERnALR LIE

Our correspondent at Cloyerdale gives the
lie direct to the correspondent OF the Indi-
annapolis Journal who recently reported
from that paint that wandering Radical Dy
the-name Of Vandervoort and his petticoated
companion campaIgner, Miss Nellie Hol-
brook, were insutted and grossly treated
there. The correspondent says;
CLovERDALE, Ind, Oct 2S The sensa-
tional dispatch which appeared in the Jour
nal Sunday, and was copied in MONDAYS
edition of that mendacious sheet. entitled
southern Methods is vile fabrication
and malicious SANDER of the good people
of Cloyerdsle. Vaudeyoort and one Nellie
Holbrook spoke here lest Friday night to a
small hall full Of men, women and children.
He was abusive aud insulting 70 Demo
his statements, and 'Shen he asserted
that Colonel Matson, our honored Repre-
sentative in Congress, was opposed TO pen
sioning soldiers, he was publicly contra
disted, and that is the only thread of truth
in the whole dispatch. No further remark
was made; no one, then or afterward, threat
ened the Nebraska demaeogue; no one fol-
lowed him; no one insulted him or sought
to interview him at his hotel and no one
was about or near him when he
and his traN cling companion bosrded

from Bloomington, there can be no doubt
that it was written or inspired by Wander
WORT himself, for advertising purposes he
well knowing that his merits will never at
tract attention. The Democracy have no in
terest in suppressing men like VandervOort
nothing that occurred during the campaign
has accom- plished as much in the way
of arOusiRg the Democrats of this
vicinity as the vituperative haraugus
of this prairie fee and his pettic0ated COM
panion. The Journals comments on Its
false sDecial are characteristic Of its course
towards this town in years gone by. This is
not the first time il has slandered eur peO-
pie; and when 1t calls this town dark
and bloody ground and says there ever was
q political murder here, il utters ''cowardly
and brutal lie." no more orderly town eK-
lists anywhere and there is not a more
tolerant people in any section OF the coan-
try than the Democrats OF Cloyerdsle Town
ship. When Major Grubbs, Colonel Mat
sons opponent. spoke here. the Democracy
rendered him the use of their stand and
listened attentively to his speech, aud no
attempt has ever been made TO suppress or
interfere with Republican meetings Van
dervoort, for the purpose of ADVERTISE NC his
appointments in this Congressional District,
has brought unjust reproach upon a people
who extend him inequalities which he has
shown himself unworthy OF, bat in so doing

Protective tariff does not advance wages.

on the tariff, "When two bosses are running

when two workmen are running after one
boss, then wages viii decline" Here you
have the whole thing in theory and practice.
The law of supply and demand controls

a LITTLE MAN TELLS a BIG LIE.

Roger r. Shiel. Republican candidate for
Treasurer of State, has issued a circular
which he is sending broadcast over the
State, containing so many ridiculous lies in
regard to Mr.. John J. Cooper that we would
not answer it were it not for the fact that it
contains forgery gross and complete, and
Is an outrage upon the workingmen of the
State.
1t contains q series of resolutions con-
demning Mr.. Cooper, purporting to have
been passedby Armstrong Assembly, Knights
of Labor. OF this city. The officers of that
Assembly hsve called upon us to state that
said Assembly has never, at any time, passed
said resolutions; that such action was never
optemplated, and that they are forgeries in
every particular. This cowsrdly act on the
part of Shiel should cause every laboring
man in the State to vote against him. To
append the name of Armstrong Assembly 20
series OF resolutions which they never
passed, never heard of In fact, is no worse
than signing the name of one OF the mem
bers to bank check. Such low aud de-
basing act will recoil upon the instigator
thereof, and Mr.. Shiel will find the working
men Of the State can not be hoodwinked in
any such manner. Rhody is getting des-

THE FARMER AND TIE TARIFF.

The Republican candidate from the plat
form OF his special train has bsen telling the
farmers of Indiana Of the Importance of the
tariff. The tillers Of the soil who listened to
his specious utteranoes are invited to review
in detail the benefits they receive from the
heavy tariff laws.
"Here is a statement showing few OF the
burdens of the farmer and laboring man:
Under this tariff tax he rises in the morn
ing. puts on his common flannel shirt taxed
% per cent; bis coat, taxed 81 per cent;
shoes, taxed 80 per cent, and hat, taxed 80
per cent; takes the water from a bucket
taxed 80 per cent, and washes his face and
hands in q tin bowl taxed 80 per
cent; dries them on a cheap cot.
ton towel taxed IS per cent. BE
sits down to his humble meal and eats from
plate taxed 90 per cent, with a knife and
fork taxed 80 per cent; drinks his coffee
with sugar taxed 90 per cent; seasons his
food with salt taxed 60 per cent, pepper
taxed 81 per cent He looks around on his
wife and children, all taxed in the same
way; takes chew of tobacco taxed 1879 per
cent, or lights cigar taxed lis per cent.
And, sir, even the sunlight from heaven,
that p0urs into his humble dwelling, must
come through window-glass taxed 50 per
cent. And yet he thinks he
lives In the freest Government under
heaven. Then he starts to work; puts
bride taxed 30 per cent. on his horse, and
takes his horse that has been shod-the nails
used in shooting being taxed so per cent,
driven by hammer taxed 20 per cent
and bitches him to q pillow taxed 40 per
cent, with chains taxed So per cent; and
after the days labor is closed, aud his family
are all gathered around, he reads q chapter
from bis Bible, taxed % per cent,
and kneeIs to God on an humble
carpet taxed 81 per cent; and then
he rests his wesried limbs on sheet

blanket that has paid 104 per cent Nor
do these grssping manufactures stop

TIE MAINE MAJORITY

The Republicans lied about their majority
in Maine from the very beginning OF the re-
ports from that State. They first had up
wards of 10000. then they let it down to
$4,000; q few days more and they
conceded 1900. The Democracy seemed
to be content with that, and all interest was
withdrawn. And now comes information
that it actually has worked down TO about
1900. 1t seems that the Kennebec Journal
which is Blaine's home organ, announced
several weeks ago that The official majority tCas
OUer nineteen thousand, and Blaine's son tele-
graphed those figures to Logan and it was
duly printed in all the Republican organs
An Augusta, Me-, special tells it to the Bos-
ton Herald as follows.
"The publication in this mornings issue
OF the kennebec Journal Mr. Blaines horne
orgsn, that Governor Robes majority last
September is 1902, has occssiOned not only
much surprise in political circles but has
produced a sensation. This shows a diff
fierce in Robes majority, according to the
Journals official figures, of 1871 less than
they reported it a week after election, and
which at that time was telegra pied all over
the country. Those who made bets on
Robes msiority, and supposed they had

money. IL the Journal has at last furnished
the correct fures of Robes majority, in
stead of Blaine and Logan's majority being
$4,000 that it predicted, the best informed
politicians put it at about 5000. There is
every indication of large falling of from
the September vote. The St. John move
ment is gaining in strength every day. The
recruits are being principally drawn from
the Republicans in the rural towns"
If Blaine had stsid at home these figures
would never have come to light.

TEE TRULY coon MR. BLAINE,

4NSOAL GOO1 h1Ghs LA1NGs
Elsewhere We print the dispositions of two
men and the aHidayits of third, all OF
whom were pupils OF James G. Blaine at
Drennon Springs, KY, in 1851, after his BE-
cret marriage at PIttsburg. From Mr..
Blaine's own confession in his letter to
Phelps and in his sworn answers TO the SEN
tineIs first set Of inteuogstories, we learn
that on the 18th of June, 1851, his wife gave
birth to their first child. The marriage
which occurred on the 10Th of March (not
quite three months preceding the birth OF
the child was, by Mr.. Blaine, commanded
to secrecy. AS the wife in her unfortunate
condition was joumeying eastward to her
mothers home in Maine, the husband was
returning to Kentucky. The wife was hardly
IN a condition TO be merry member of any
social group. Even the tsrdy marriage that
had been accorded her was by his edict i'm
bedded in secrecy so that she could not show
evidence OF the legitimacy OF her coming
maternity. Without the companionship
and supporting arm of the man to whom
she yielded her trust and her maiden honor,
she wendell her way to the only home which
in her condition was likely to receive her:
that OF her mother.
Ere the wife had found shelter beneath the
mothers roof the secretly made husband
was back in Kentucky. April and May
with their sunshine and bird-songs see the
husband passing the hours not employed in
teaching in mirthful association with young
ladies Of the village. But the same months
are witnessing the young wife suffering
humiliation over her social position and
anxiety and dread over her approaching
ordeal of childbirth. When June brings thu
date of her travail. and she lie crying out il

TO OUR CAMPAIGN PATRONS.

IL OOR OAMeAl(TN EA1RORSs
With the next number of the State Senti-
mel the subscriptions OF number of thou
sand will expire. We wish q word with
these, our campaign patrons. We would
like to continue every one member OF the
Sentinel household Of subscribers. The
brief acquaintance Of a few months has, we
trust been pleasant and profitable to them.
May we not extend our weekly visits to you
through the year following the expiration OF
your campaign subscription A trade
which is OF mutual advantage to both par
ties is always a good one. Let us then have
q deal for year. Give us that period as q
season of courtship, and we will endesvor
to make you love Us so well that we may be-
come welded for life.
Listen to lis for a minute; The Sentinel
is the leading Democratic paper of Indiana.
1t is published at the capital city of the
State. It's resources for obtaining inform
alton concerning men and measures of in
terest are better than most Of its contempt
raTies. We are where we can keep an eye
upon your public servants and tell you
when they are doiag their duty by you, and
when falling short thereof. We will report
to you the acts and actions OF your State
Legislature, and furnish you gossip from
every section OF the State. We will keep
the southern counties in communication
with the northern, and the eastern tier with
those Of the West-this as your Stale paper.
AS a news and freside paper the State
Sentinel shall be the peer OF any in the land.
With the present political campaign work
ended, we shall have more space for mis-
cellaneous reading. Agriculture in all its
branches will receive attention; the house
hold will have its place in our columns. The
news of the world will be condensed each
week. There will be stories for story read
ers, humorous columns for those who like 20
laugh, an occasional sermon from noted
ministers, poems, sketches and editorial dis
cussions of current topics of the day.
And come what may, the Sentinel will
carry the banner of honest, old-fashioned
Jefiersonisn Democracy. It will maintain
the principles OF "a government OF the
people, by the people and for the people"
as against a centralized, aristooratio gov
eminent operated in the interest Of purse
proud monopolists, bondholders and cor
rupt oficeholders.
If each Indisnian whose name Is now on
our subscription books will send in q re-
newal for year we can give a magnificent
paper-one that will interest the elder and
contribute to the instruction of the younger
Of the family. So come up, friends, one and
all, singly or in clubs, and aid us in the good
work OF making paper which shall be g
source Of pride to the people of Indiana.
