ANNOUNCEMENT-RECORDER.

Editor ok Sentinel: Pleiise announce that I will be a candidate for Recorder of Jasper County, subject to decision of voters of said couty at the polls. AUG’S. H. WOOD. Hon. Simeon P. Sheerln, of Cass county has a very large following for clerk of the Supreme Court. He is a sound Democrat and a capable man. We give our radical friends notice that they will not have so clean a field in this county as t ey anticipate* And we give the most sanguine of them notice that some of their pets will get distanced. The Jasper County Committee of the National Greenback party, ate reqested to meet at the Court House in Rensselaer, on the Ist, Saturday in June, so: the purpose of appointing delegates to the congressional convention to be held at Logansport. Tlie Fowler correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal say that Peter H. Ward, Jno. P. Carr will enter the race against Hon. M. L. DeMotte for nomination for Congress,: that Si mon P. Thompson and Henry S. Travis will be candidates for State Senator, and why is our Dr. Maxwell left unmentioned. “We suggest to our brethren of this Congressional District that Rensselaer would be a good and convenient point for holding the Democratic Congressional Convent/on this year. It is accessible, and the accommodations are now such that all who might attend can be entertained. We trust the, Congressional Committee will con| eider this suggestion.

Johnny Davenport is still after t he author of tne Morey letter. He is very anxious to trace it to a Democratic source. The elections are coming on, and It is necessary for something of this sort that attention of the people may be diverted from the rascalities of the radical party.— If he don’t keep a sharp lookout he will land it in the home of Garfield before he is through with it. President Tilden’s income tax has served the purpose of a scarecrow by the radical leaders, each succeeding Presidential campaign, ior some years, to frighten back into their ranks the dissatisfied element; and now they would have their followers believe they are on the eve of fastening upon wicked Democrats the au. thorshin of the Morey letter—a production which Mr. Garfield was in all probability the writer. The Policy in dicated in that letter is to-day being carried out by the radical national administration.

It is not often that a Repunlican paper speaks the truth as plainly as the Indianapolis Times. In writing about|the assassination of Lord Caven| hish and Mr. Burke, the editor says that Gladstone’s temporizing, vacillating policy is what prduced the conditions that brought forth the murders. The Times further says that Gladstone’s responsibility in regard to them is of much the same character as Mr. Conkling’s in regard to the murder of Garfield. We consider that pretty plain talk for a Bepubli can paper and it clearly shows that there is a sentiment abroad holding Oonkling, to a certain extent, responsible for the killing of the late President. Whether Oonkling is deserving qr not of the insinuations cast upon him by his own party, Guiteau is the man who will have to pay the penalty just now, and in the end, punishment will fall upon the whole Republican party for the part it tpok in the assassination of Garfield.
