Address of the National County Committee.

Headquarters of the National I Central Coftifnitt’iee. f Rensselaer, Inp., Oct. 14, 1878. To the Nationals of Jasper-county; We congratulate you on the result of the election in tiiis county on I Tuesday of lust week, after one :>f the most hotly contested campaigns sver j conducted in this county. We have i done well. Two years ago Peter Coo- | per recived but 80 votes, in thiscoun- I ty, for President of the United States i At the recent election we cast 509 votes for the National candidate for Secretary c f State, and 493 for Mr. Skinner, our nominee for Congress—- » gain of over 690 percent. We elected our candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court, ( hurlesH. Price, by 99 majority. Ju hisown township. Carpenter—the home of his competitor too he received 41 votes over his opponent. Mr. James F. Irwin. Weeleetour candidate for Auditor, Ezra C. Nowels by a majority ol 62 votes; an<l lie has a majority of 2b votes in Gillam township, I he home of B. F. Faris, his opponent. Weeb et E.E. Rockwood Commissioner tor the 3d district. In Carpenter township, the home of himself and competitor. Hon, Win. B. Price, he received 52 more vot«'S, and his ' majority in the county is 52. James M. Nickel, our candidate for Sheriff, has a majority of 71 out of 111 votes cast in his own township, Hanging Grove; and is defeated by only 170 by his competitor, the present incumbent, who boasted of his ability to carry the county by 500. Win. E, Moore, our candidate for j Treasurer, has a majority of 25 votes | in his own, Hanging Grove, township, and of 5 in Jordan, the home of his competitor, but is defeated by 129 in the county. Hope B. Miller, our candidate for Recorder has a majority of 8 vatea in Barkley township, where his competitor, James T. Abbott, claims residence, and lacks but 18 votes of being ; elected. Brunson W. Harrington, our candi«date for Commissioner for the Ist district, cariies his own township by a majority of 32, and is defeated in the county by only 10 votes, Charles P. Hopkins, our candidate for Surveyor is defeated by only 9 | votes. He made a gallant fight for [ the whole ticket, and has the sincere thanks of the committee. Samson Erwin, our candidate for Coroner, made a vigorous race against Norman Warner, the obi republican war-horse, for the same position, and Jacks but 18 votes of an election. When we consider the boiisted claim by the republicans of 409 relia blc majority, these results are highly encouraging. We have, too, elected Hon. George Major to the State Senate by 599 majority. And Hon. Geo. H. Brown Representative by a majority of 481. In States where elei tions have been held we have secured seven Congressmen, as follows: Maine, 2; Vermont, 1; lowa, 2; Indiana, l;West Virginia, 1, which is a large gain in the interest of the people and opposed to tte policy of lhe money sharks. After the smoke of the battle has cleared away, on carefully scanning the result, we have much to rejoice over. In this Stute we have increased our vots in two years from .13.1’00 to about 40.000, and a coneswoiiding increase in the other States. The Committee send greeting to Hanging Grove, Jordan, Carpenter, Wheatfield, Kankakee and Gillam : townships, for the share they had in I the noble work, and to the Nationals j /Lroughout the county for their efficient and vigorous work in making lhe campaign an aggressive one. To the Democratic Sentinel and the Democracy of the eounty manythanks are due for their efficient aid in the canvass. And right lute, too. we take advan tage of the opportunity afforded, ynd return thanks to James A. Burnham and James Welsh for their unceasing and efficient labors. lhe mission of the National Party is to educate the people on the great financial questions that are agitating the minds ol tho people. For this purpose we urge Nationals to keep their armor on and not stop work, for (here is a great struggle in the near future —the election of a President of the United States in 1880. Up, and continue at work! We look ahead to a day of complete triumph. Having put our hands to the plow we cannot look back. In the National lexicon there is no such word as fail. We must, work! work!! We are enlisted for the war. Every National should be at his post ready for duty so long as there is an enemy to fight. Be vigilant ami positive -be kind and generous to opponents—and always tie ready to give a reason for the faith which you possess. Circulate National documents,—a sure way to make votes. • A vote for the National party is a vote for the people. THOMAS BOROUGHS,

Work upon the Indianapolis Delphi & Chicago railroad is progressing rapidly. The piers for the bridge across the Tippecanoe are completed, and the timbers for the superstructure are being placed upon the ground. The grading is about finished between Monticello and Pittsburg, and we have the word of Colonel Yeoman that track laying will commence at Montici 110 on the sth of next mouth, .Should the weather continue favorable, they expect to have thfc track complete to the west bank of Wabash by the 15th or 20th. The piers for the bridge across the Wabash ar« ready to receive the superstructure, and the approaches in an iinflniohed condition, so it will require but a short time to place the bridge In positioß. The grading from the city to the river is of but small moment, and we may confidently predict that our preparations for cele brating the completion of tli“ narrow gauge to Delphi will be made before Christmas.—Delphi Times.

Thomas A Hendricks.

[Franklin Herat ’-Dsmocrjrtt.] To-day we have placed the name of »hie ire n tie mi a u at the head of ourcolas our candidate for no.nination

I by the next democratic national coni vention for president. Indofngso we ; do not only announce our own choice, i but we believe he is the choice of a 1 large majority of the p ople of the United States- In Indiana the democMtic party Is for him to a min.— Mr. Hendricks is peculiarly well suited for the democratic candidate for president In 1880. His public record i is without a blemish; his private char j aetfF is without a stain He lives in i the bosom of the great west, the fn- ' tore seat of political power in this I country. He is a citizsn of Indiana, ! the most reliable democratic state in : tlie north. His position upon public questions is sound, and the country would have confidence in his wisdom and discretion. His enemies have sought to make the impression that ho was non-committal on' public questions; but those who have watched his course have seen that he has only baen cautious in taking his po sb ions and consistent in maintaining j them. He does not embrace an idea :to day and reject it to-morrow, If i the position which Mr. Hendricks an- ! noum.'vd on the financial question had j been pursued by the government, thousands of v etims of the unwise poli y of Mr. Sherman would have been spared. Asserting that the timehonored principles of our fathers was correct, that gol I and silver were the true measures of value, Mr. Hendricks could see that forcedjresnmprion must strike hard a the labor and industry of the country, and he was opposed to it. While he desired to reach spe vie resumption in time as being the normal condition of all prosperous and enlightened nations, still he wanted to reach it in a way that should not destroy the debtor classes and impoverish labor. Instead of having it come as the storm or hurricane, leaving destine.ion and ruin in its train, he wanted to see it come as the gentle shower that should bring heal i ing on its wings. One of the best tests of capacity that can be applied to any man is. whether hefllls the position to which he may be called with ability and credit. No public man ever passed this ordeal better than Mr. Hendricks. In all positions he has ever filled, including iiis terms as senator and gov- ■ ernor of Indiana, he has retired with ■ the verdict on the part of the people that he had lis-diarged his duties ably and well. Such a man we present to the country as our candidate for president in 1880.

Miller, one of the workme engaged in rebuilding the Pan Han die bridge over the river at this point, fell from the top of the bridge last Tuesday afternoon and was instantly killed. No one witnessed the acci dent, but it ts supposed that in climbing the ladder over a Dier. about the center of the bridge, one of the rungs gave way near the top and precipitated him below, when he firststruck the pier and then the ground, a dis tance of perhaps fifty feet. His neck was broken and bis body badly bruised. The missing piece from the ladder and the workman’s hammer lay beside him when feund. A coroner’s jury was empaneled and rendered a verdict in accordance with the foregoing.
