I HE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. .1. HIM.. Friday, April 7. 1882. TAX PAIXHS l aHE \OI U I . The third Monday in April is the last day for payment of the April installment of taxes. Pay your taxes and save the ten per cent, penalty. R. D. PATTERSON, Treasurer. The charges of the Sentinel that Indianapolis was the worst governed city in the Union, seems to be proven, at least to the satisfaction of the people. At the election last Monday the entire Renublican gang was turned loose, beaten by an average majority of about fifteen hundred. —— "♦♦♦> Last Week s Democrat contained the startling announcment of a new implement of war, by the name of “Sabre” and a new relationship titled “neice.” This is eontainly an age of progrees, and the editor of the Democrat is destined to be the Webster of the day.— Journal, verbatim et literatim. Nothing The Democrat could write would give an additional force to the criticism. To strike a man when he is knocked flat by the recoil of his own criticism is something we have not the heart to do. Would it not be well however, for the Journal man to take broken doses of primmer? Webster is beyoud his comprehension. Joint Representative Convention. Immediately upon the adjournment of the Judicial Convention the joint Representative Convention, composed of the ci unties of Adams, Jay and Wells was convened, with the same organization as the Judicial. Samuel Roth, of Wells, announced the name of Levi Mock, of Wells, as a candidate, for joint Representative eulogizing the candidate as a man and a Democrat, which was sec ended by John T. France, of Adams. Judge Bobo then briefly addressed the Convention as to the relation of the several counties of Adams, Blackford, Jay and Wells, in their representative and senatorial capacity, showing that while neither of them are entitled to a senator, or representative, by reason of their peculiar division in districts, yet by mutual understanding and agreement of the Deme era tic party of the several counties in making nominations, each county would be represented in the legislature. John T. France then moved the nomination of Levi Mock, Ly acclamation, carried. Mr. Mock, was then called out. He expressed bis thanks for the honor conferred, then remarked that he proposed to act in harmony with the party; that if it became necessary to surrender his individual opin ions he would do so, and closed by remarking that he thought that the legislature had indulged in a little too much law making. The following Representative Committee was then announced by the respective chairmen of the delegations of the different counties James T. Merryman, of Adams, O. 11. Adair of Jay, Hugh Daugherty, of Wells, Adjourned. David Studabaker, Chm. 0. H. Adair, 1 Samuel Roth, > Secretaries. A. J. Hui.. ) Judicial Convention. The counties of Adams, Jay and Wells, comprising the 26th. Judicial Circuit, met in delegate convention at the Court House, Decatur, Indiana, Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Judge and Prosecuting Attorney for the circuit.

Bobo, as a candidate for re election, as judge of the 26tb. judicial circuit, in a characteristic speech, which was immediately ratified by acclamation. E. B.

Daily, of Wells, nominated John T. France as a candidate for re-election as Prosecuting Attorney, which was seconded by Silas Hale, of Jay and confirmed by acclamation.

Death of Esquire Conkel. Regretful feeling was excited by the information, Sunday morning, that Esquire Jacob Conkel was dangerously ill. and to this was added, Monday, the deeper regret occasioned by the news of the death of an old and esteemed titizen. Esquire Conkel was about and apparently in his usual health Saturday, being in attendance, Saturday afternoon at the Republican township convention. Little did he dream that the pale messenger of death was then almost ready to announce the hour for the dissolution of earthly ties. He was taken sick Saturday night about 12, m . and died Sunday night about the same hour. His funeral took place Monday, 10 a. m., Rev. Fred Stovenour preaching the funeral sermon at the M. E church. The remains were iutered in the cemetery about one and one-half miles south of Geneva, Ind., where his first wife is buried. Mr. Conkel was a Pennsylvania Ger man, having been born in Cumberland Co., in that State, August 24_th, 1809, being at the time of death 72 years, seven months and three days old. He was the eldest of a family of fifteen children, four of whom are only surviving. When he was three weeks of age his parent* removed to Fairfield county, Ohio. About 1841 Mr. Conkel removed to Old Buffalo, Adams county, where he resided until he came to Portland, twenty three years ago. During his life t'“ e iiC ,lie office • ' Justice of that Peace in Adams ml Jay counties— -thirty five years, hold ino. the position at the time of his death. De was married three times; being divorced from his second wife, his widow being the third. He had by his first wife, five children, and by his second, two. Mr. Conkel had a rugged and strong constitution, looking far younger than most of men at his advanced age. His long service in a public position testifies to his high character and the esteem iu which he was held.— Portland Sun. .Votief ot Election in the In corporatrd To>~n ot Decatur.
