The Democrats of Gillum township, will held a convention Satuiday of next week at the usual place of voting and select delegates for county convention. The “Visiting Statesmen” are in tne hands of a Pott r, who will sash ior. them into vessels of wrath. A radieu l remarked, on reading the platform of the radical state oonven Ron: “It is the thinnest gruel ever offered to a sick party.” The great speech of Hon. I). W. Voorhees on the repeal of the Radical Resumption A-d, will be found on tlie lirst page of this paper. Read it. eare- ' illy, then hand it to your neighbor with the same injunction. It is good, solid, truthful reading. Speaking of Calkins, Horace says: ' Only a few days since, in an encounter * * * with Mr. Speaker Randall, the latter came out of the contest most beautifully flogged, as the tnorc honest of his friends freely admitt d ” Considerable fluukeyism In the quoted extract.

The Valparaiso Vidotte, republican, intimates that she national greenback and Democratic parties of Jasper county will join teams, the republ! mis of the county being advocates of the hard money policy of the administration and treating the greenback men as repudiationists. film-blooded Ben. Harrison, the grandson of his grandfather, and first choice of the Jasper covnty radical ring for U. B. Senator, presided over the radical >tute convention Wednesday, and in his speech denounced greenbackers as idiots and lunatics.— Bro. James professes to coincide with him. —A now title: —Chairman of the Jasper County Republican Centra' Committee and “ex-officio“ Consul to Turk’s Island.— Remington Times. Yes, and ox- seeker for county clerkchip; ex-granger; ex-carpet-bagger from the radical ranks; ex-greer-backer—well, altogether, he’s an exr’oruery man. For tiie fiscal year thus far there is a deficiency in the Federal revenues of $11,000,003, ami thanks to a Dem - • •ratio House of Representatives, a decrease in expenditures of $8,000,000. as compared with a eorresponding period of last year. The would have offset the deficiency but for the opposition of the radical Senate.

The radical congressional address complains that the passage of the Totter resolution has a. tendency lo Mexicanizo the government, weaken the administration and make it disreputable. Its personelle could hardly be weaker than it is, or more disrepulable than it has made itself. As to Mexicanizing th gov rnment.thattoc has been accomplished by the Louisiana and Florida returning board seoundiels, with the connivance of the knavish ’’visiting statesmen,” and the consent and approbation of Haye-. Little Hale is the author of this uniqi address, and it is worthy of its author. —The time hoi oed epeuion so debating clubs: “Resolved. That then is more pleasure in anticipation that

ii possession, has been solved in the affirmative by friend James. Now that he lias an appointment he cares milling for it. Happy to learn he is to remain.— Don’t know what tne next change in 'he moon may bring about. Can’t say but wnat he may bo hand in hand in'hano with u.s in our efforts tor - quire of the radical administration a ecognition of the wants of the people, tiud cease crawling at the feet of the money lords.

“Wheat field Township Notes,” writ ten in the Union office by a sly old fo x who failed ro cover up his tracks, are not wholly truthful. But about twoUiirds of the willow, and none of the birch, arc growing. Of politics, hi.s protracted absence from the township disqualifies him speaking. When the truth flashes upon his mind he will swear-worse than ever Hollander did before. B.

Referring to “Col.” (was Maj. two years ago) Calkins’prospects in Jas. per county, obsequious Horaee says: “He will carry our county by a majority at least twenty-five per centum larger than his majority in 1876, which was 341.”

Bro. James is no prophet. About two short years ago we were present at a caucus held in Michigan City the evening previous to the meeting of the Democratic Congressional Convention, when he arose and pledged Jasper county to Dr. Raymond. Jasper didn’t verify his prophecy then any more than it will now.

When a “backslider” fills from grace and returns to his evil ways, it is said hell becomes uproarious with delight. Bo with the radical party. It cannot do too much for brother •Tames on his return to the faith of radicalism. He is presented for the chairmanship of the county committee as one who hud always been true to the faith. The Fraud hastens to shower upon him a supply of stolen goods, and slaves him as consul to a warm climate. Not to be outdone the radical state conveulion selected him to represent this district on the state central committee. He couldn’t even get a husk (clerkship) from the grangers. but the rads have outdone the “fatted calf” feast.
