Ovation to Landers 1 * Tuesday was a proud day for the Democracy ot Jasper. Notwithstanding the boasted strength of radicalism. Notwithstanding the fact that Porter refused to meet Landers, and was appointed for this place the day before in hopes that it would operate against the Democracy, and that an opportunity might be afforded to direct their followers to remain at home and not swell the crowd the next day. Notwithatanding the great inducements held out to townships sending the largest delegations, and %ther promises male but unfulfilled, the hopes of the “ring” were dashed to the ground. The Democracy turn. e<l out in their might, end in numbers far exceeded the radical rally ot Monday. Utter amazement was depicted upon the countenances of radicals. In the first moments of their surprise expressions came forth, net intended, but well calculated to encourage the Democratic heart. The speeches of Messrs. Landers and Cai v were well received by the vast multitude. The procession presented a magnificent spectacle. The thunderingsof the brass 12- pounder height- ! eneh the excitement and enthusiasm. ! In the evening the procession far exceeded that of the previous evening. The Novyels House, Halloran House, Cotton House, residences of Mrs. Dr, O. C. Link, Mrs. Judge Hammond, Dr. Loughridgc, Link! Hopkins, J. W. Duvall and others were handsomely illuminated. All in all. the Democracy of Jasper have cause for encouragement. They provided for Jasper county the grandest rally ever held within its limits. While no doubt it was productive of great good to the Demuratic cau e, it also opened the eyes of the radical “ring”, which has controlled the nominations. doled out the offices to favorites, directed the management and shared the proceeds, to the fact that work—energetic, unscrupulous work, would be necessary to save its “grip." Untiring vigilance and watchfulness will thwart all such efforts on the part of the “ring. Democrats, stand firm at. your posts until the last ballot is counted, and victory is yours.

Miss May Kendall, of Monticello* lining the week has been the ‘guest of her old school mate, Miss Ana McEwen. We are informed by a manager on the I. D. & C. RR., that they brought ten car loads Monday to the radical rally, and fourteen, Tuesday, to the Democratic. Forty years ago Maine, on a Sep tember day, “went h—l bent for Got - ernor Kent," and it has kept in that sulphurious direction up Until JJJon day, the 13th, when it got off that incline. The members of the Delphi Society of the Eastern Star who visited Rensselaer last week desire to return thanks for social courtesies to MrsPurcupile, Mrs. Spitler, Mrs. Moss and Mr. Duvall.—Delphi Times. We know of several democrats who are .trying to trade Henry AVelsh, the best man on their ticket for Nickel votes.—Republican. Well, sir, name those “several democrats,” or stand branded as a liar. —:— « Rumor hath it that certain aspirants for county treasuer. defeated at tile republican convention, would willingly sacrifice the successful competitor to gratify revenge. We don’t “know” it. and therefore give no names.

Jere Black says Garfield “made common cause with his political friends and partners, for whom there was no refuge except in a fundamental falsehood. That is, the republican candidate fur President lied and lied knowingly. If any veter has the curiosity to know how Garfield stood on the arrears of pension bill, let him procure the Congressional Record, volume 5, part G, Ist session of the 44th Con gross, pages 5.054 and 5,055. It will there be found that he lanored to defeat the measure and voted against it. The New York Tribune is now one of the lustiest of Garfield’s supporters and apologists? Did it libel him in December, 1874, when it charged him with “guilty connivance in a half million steal from the treasury?” On the contraiy a republican committee found him guilty in manner and form as indicted by the Tribune and hundreds of other republican journals. The Repulican says that “ata democratic meeting the other day in Ben. ton county, * ♦ * * ODe of the over sanguine auditors proposed three cheers for Hancock and the southern confederacy.” No doubt he was an “over sanguine” cuss of the same political faith as his friend who, on Friday night yelled for Jeff. Davis. He proved to be a full fledged radical.

Now for Indiana! Maine directs the way. O hio will be in line. West Virginia is on the same track for the 12th of October, and lowa will be terribly shaken up. lowa is one of the few States that will throw away its electoral vjte on Garfield & Arthur But the fight is in Indiana. That is recognized all along the line The Radical National Committee hae exhausted all the money it coufd squeeze out of their official retainers, down to the very scrub women in the departments at Washington, and are covering the State with colored recruits to carry Indiana. They spent, by their own coufession, $150,000 in Maine. Well, let ’em scatter their cash in Indiana. Our people are not a marketable commodity. They are not merchandise. They are men who do their own thinking and voting, and a majority of fifteen to twenty-five thousand for Frank Landers in October will prove to the world that the Republieans haven’t a Jewell equal to their purchase.
