FEATURES OF THE FAIR.
Taylor Texan Mays.
Mr.. Frait Barker, the young man who
won the prize at our fsir last week in the
cattle-roping contest, went over to Bas-
trop Monday and brought back drst prize
of $50, throwing his steer and roping it
In one minute and six seconds. His
brother, another Williamson county boy,
tied with second best man, and the Sec
ond prize was divided. Mr. F. Barker also
took of best prize in the foot-roping con-
test. 1t will e a cold day when they
"get of" with the Williamson county
boys on cattle-roping. Bets are five to
one that he will WIN at Austin.
One of the most exciting features at
the fair Wednesday was the broncho
riding, which was engaged in by col
ored men only. There were five riders,
and it was truly fearful to see the wild
animals buck and pitch. Though danger
GUS exercise, no one was hurt, as those
engaged in 1t were too expert to get
thrown. The contestants numbered six,
snd the pr re was TO have been, first prize
S1O,second $50, third S5,but as two tied
on first and the balance were considered
also even it WAS made satisfactory all
round to divide the prizes as follows:

this time that they are forgeries, and will
not be deceived by them.

THE Journal has discovered that It was
free trade and not slavery that caused the
war of the rebellion. 1t says the South
fought for tree trade and not to save the
peculiar institution" And yet for fifteen
years before the rebellion began, this
country had what the Journal calls free
trade. The Walker tariff of 1916 had been
reduced still lower in 1857, without serious
opposition from any quarter, nearly all
the republicans in congress, including the
solid delegation from New England, sup
porting the reduction. There was no tar
if controversy in 1860. All parties and
all sections were more than satisfied with
the so-called Gree trade tariff" The dis
covery that the war was about the tariff
instead OF about slavery is on par with
the discovery that it is free trade and not
landlordism and English tyranny that
Ireland is struggling against. Both, of
course, are intended for very ignorant
people only.

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE democrats are making large gains among
the farmers OF New York on the tariff issue.
READER of THE SENTINEL at Waterloo,
Ia, writes that republicanism is below par IN
that section. The g. o. D. is losing many of its
prominent men. Among those who have left
il at Waterloo are three prominent lawyers
and the president of one of the banks.
EX-IUDGE c. w. THURsToN of Stockbridge,
Wis, long a republican leader in that state,
and Charles A. Mueller of Port Washington
Wis, who owns an immense tannery and has
heretofore been a strong republican, have de-
clared for Cleveland and tariff reform.
A CORRESPONDENT of THE SENTINEL, writing
from Cook county, Ohio, says that if all the
counties of Ohio can show as many changes TO
Cleveland as that county that Ohio will 90
democratic by 10000. He says that the opin-
ion is gaining ground that Cleveland is the
greatest man that ever sat in the presidential
chair"
Mr.. WILLIAM I. BROWN, republican and
manufacturer of New Lisbon, o., has cast off
the yoke the republican party bound around
his neck and announced his intention of voting
for Cleveland. This is only one more of $4,000

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Who is the author
and who introduced the bill into congress
increasing the widows pensions from IS to 81?
republican, in making a speech recently,
said: Cleveland hired a substitute for three
years and promised TO pay him 500. lie paid
him $50 and the rest remains unpaid this
blessed night Is this true? NJ. l.. Dove.
Tanger, Ind, Oct Is.
l. Col Matson was the author of the bill to
increase the widows pensions from s. to sl2
per month, which he introduced in the house
on Dec. 81, 1885. 1t was referred to the
invalids pension committee, of which Col.
Matson was the chairman, and he reported it
back to the house Jan. 10, 1856. The bill
passed the house Feb. l, aud was approved by
President Cleveland March 10, 1886.
2. When the war broke outthe three Cleveland
brothers agreed that two should go to the front
and one remain at home to take care of their
widowed mother. As Grover was the youngest,
his brothers insisted that he should remain
with the mother. However being anxious to
serve his country, he paid 500 for a substitute
to fight alongside his two brothers. Mr.. Blaine,
1t should not be forgotten, was drafted and
sent cheap substitute TO the army who
deserted at the first opportunity.

EVERYTHING DEMOCRATIC.
Tho Situation In the Contested States Of
the East.

The Situation In the Contested States of
the East
The Hon. s. P. Sheerin, secretary of the ma
tional democratic committee, returned Satur-
day evening from a short visit 10 New York.
Mr.. Sheerin says everybody around the national
committee rooms is jubilant over the outlook.
1.-THE situation in New York City" he said,
''is most encouraging. While there are two
democratic candidates for mayor both factions
are united in favor of Cleveland and Thurman,
and are supporting the national ticket with
even more energy than they are displaying IN
fighting each other. Another thing which
gives confidence to the democrats is the shO
ing of the registration. This is largely in eX-
cess of previous years, and the increase IS
most noticeable in the democratic precincts.
Another incident in this connection, showing
the earnestness and enthusiasm of our people,
is that but comparatively little work was nee
essary to induce people to register. Hereto
fore il has been almost impossible TO get a full
registration, owing TO the apathy OF the voters,
but this year they fairly tumbled over each
other in their eagerness to qualify for the com
ing election.
New Jersey, which has always been demo
cratic in presidential years is more democratic
than ever now. The result of the Newark cleo
ton is the best indication OF the situation in
that state At the last previous election the city
went 800 republican, while this year, when
the fight squarely made on national
issues, the democrats carried the day by nearly
| 1000, showing change in our favor of nearly
| $500 votes.
Everybody in Connecticut expects that
state to 60 democratic by good majority. The
| party was never better organized than at pres
ent. There is not factional fight in the state,
| and every democrat is at work. The best In
| formed people say there is not q doubt abou
| the state
| ooh, yes" concluded Mr.. Sheerin, II wa
everywhere asked about Indiana, and ! wa.
happy to be able TO give them a favorable re
port The opinion is general there that In
diana will go democratic, and the betting is ii
in favor of Cleveland's election"

BLEEDING THE CLERKS,
Republicans Working the JAY Hubbell
Game in the Department


The republican national committee has Sc
cured a list of all the government employees
now in Office who were appointed under pre-
vious administrations, and who are therefore
presumed to be republicans still. To each per-
son, male and female, a circular letter has
been addressed, saying that it is his or her
duty TO contribute literally to the expenses of
the campaign for Harrison and Morton; that
the office-holders are indebted to the republi-
can party for the places they now hold and
gratitude should prompt them TO give now and
cheerfully of their means to he p return the
republican party to power In conclusion the
circular admonishes those addressed that the
republicans will surely succeed and word to
the wise is sufficient.
The plain meaning of the circular is to ex-
tort money from government employees through
fear, for if they do not contribute, and Harri-
son should be elected, they need not expect TO
be retained in office. That much, in fact, is in
timated in the circular.
Since the day of Jay Hubbell, when Mr.. Gar
field asked him how the departments were
doing generally toward swelling the campaign
fund, there has not been such a barefaced at
tempt to extort money from government en-
ployes. The fact that the civil service law
prohibits appointments in the classified SER
vice except in accordance with the law does
not appear TO be known to the republican
political managers, who are proceeding on the
theory that If they are successful they can turn
out all republicans and appoint others OF that
political faith TO the places vacated.

A Campaign Lie.

Gov. GRAY says that the statement of
the Washington correspondent of the In
dianapolis Journal, and which is being
copied by the republican press, to the ef-
feet that he had stated to the president
that he could not count on Indiana, is
without particle of foundation in truth.
The governor says he has never made
such statement to any one, but upon the
contrary says that Indiana will cast its
electoral vote for CLEVELAND and THUR
MAN, and that the democrats will elect not
less than nine and perhaps ten of the
thirteen congressman.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-10-17

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is playing its
same old game-flling its columns with
silly yarns in the interest of the republi-
can ticket, and doing all that is in its power
to embarrass and discourage the western
democracy. The Enqu irer is evidently
anxious to elect HARRISON, as it was anx-
ious to elect BLAINE four years ago. Its
reports of the political situation in the East
are grossly unfair and untruthful. Its
stories about discussions in the democrat
ic campaign committees at New York are
absolutely false. The situation in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut is en-
tirely favorable to democratic success in
all those states, and well-informed and
candid republicans in the East do not pro.
fess to have any hopes as to New York
and New Jersey. The democrats of Indi-
anaand Ohio should know by this time that
there is no reliance whatever to be placed
in the Enquirer's political reports, which
are always colored in the republican inter-
est.
