Commissioners. Trst District—George Stalbaum. Second District—David Gray. 'hi rd District Edward W. Culf. C«pt. Edmonds says the respsonse b him in this week’s Republican junds like a wail from the d—d.”— <!-.- will retort next week, as we have neither the time nor the space to acmmodate him to-day. John T. Ford, Democratic candi-. i .16 for Recorder was in attendance . t i. ie Fair last week, and mado many <vv acquaintances He is a young -j nos line qualifications, good habits ; ) ( warm, generous impulses.

Quarters will be provided for 2,000 , * pic at Camp Milroy. The hotels, rding bouses, and dwellings where . tors can be kept will be filled to .• ir fullest capacity. Let all do : ir best to make the Re-union a b-eess and everybody happy. ’ ii attack of quinsy, which we re- ■ f, and a little medicine adminisred by the Teachers’ Institute, a Temperance Republican,’ and Capt. Edmonds, seem to have badly riled our neighbor this week. You sho’d not ‘munky with the buzz saw.’ The largest number of people ever congregated at Rensselaer, will be at the Soldiers’ Re-union next week The members of the Executive Committee are exertlag themselves to ar-, range affairs to secure the comfort and enjoyment of all who may attend BRING YOUR BLANKENTS!—AII who expect to take quarters in Camp Milroy at the Re-union, next week, should bring their blankets with them. Good quartets and rations will be furnished to all Soldiers, but each one should provide himself with bedding.

Fred. Hoover, Democratic candi date for State Senator, was clrculati ng among friends—and he has hosts of them in all parties—during the Fair at this place last week. He is a man of good judgment and influence, Hi election will reflect credit upon the district. Major (he means -mayor’) Jacobs of Logansport,’ our neighbor says, Monday eve- ing repudiated the Dem erratic party. If true, that is one v idle in the same city of Loganspo rt th ■ same weeK, in the Journal, th a It publican organ, is published a com' munication indorsed by thirty Repub licans repudiating DeMotto, and worthy brother is as mum as an oys ter. ‘What a pity!’ “ The personal history of each man on tiie republican ticket may not show lio -long sobriety,” etc,, says the Re. pui licau. Well, what in the wide, wi ie world induced you to spring such a point. We never allud ed to it Wo “don’t have to” reflect upon a sin - gle candidate on the Democratic ticket in that shape. Provided with a United Stat 68 Li cense to sell liquors, any vendo r of the ardent could laugh and mock a- the proposed prohibitory amend, ment, even if really, prohibition in i .racier, which it is not. Its sale c; t no more be prohibited, than the Constitutional provision agains negroes coming lnto the State coui b enforced after citizenship was con ferred on them by the general gov eminent. We are not opposed to sub’ mission but it is not prohibitory, i t provides for enactment of laws t o allow and regulate the sale, and there, [ore is a sham as a prohibition amendment. The general government will have to first take hands off, place 1 there by radical legislation, and whic 11 interferes with State laws. When thi s i s done, and amendments truly pro] hibitory proposed, the people wil have before them a question wej 47 >rthy their serious consideration.

Hard to Please.—Bro. Marshall ‘hears that Mr. Hoover promises to vote for submission of the ainnndinrnt,’ and denounces him for that. — He also‘hears that Hendricks, Voorhees, McDonald and English are opposed to submission,’ and denounces the for that. He is determined not to be pleased. We had the pleasure one day last week of making the acquaintance of Wm. Darroch, Esq., of Newton county, Democratic candidate for Prosecutor in this Judicial Circuit. We found him to be a genial gentleman* and those acquain’cd with him and ids competitor t> re rm -nm :m is rhe supeiior in point of qualiflcaiion.

All soldiers of Jasper county are ' requested to meet in their respective townships nt 2 o’clock p. m . next ' Saturday, to .orgnniz *. They will • meet at Co rt Sq lare, L Ren s.-kmr, ou Wesim. day, i; 27:11 to perfect their organization, wlmn the different squads and platoon - wHI be organized in* o companies. The persons appointed to super.ntend this work in the . several townships ar * requested to i give it their p rsonnl attention. Let j thesoldieis of Jm pcr eoutity be pro- ; pared to give then vi-iting comrades! suitable reception. By order of Exec-dive Committee, E. P Hamvond, Chairm; aMaine, as a kuipi'i-i:*' e S- tn*. r* m pares with South (inro'iua ‘nd e-i Virginia a-:: follows: Am->y -a to th * last annual ret. vt of It • yenue Commit ioimr "there w ro in the year ending June 1 3., in Maine 82') retail liquor deal ms and ten wholesale dealers. Maim din 1880 a population of 648,945. Tim-.-, there was a retail liquor dealer in the State for every 790 persons South Carolina bad a copulation in ' -80 of 995,622 and 1,085 i.-tail liquor d- ‘ r.<* or one to every* I,'mo of the people. West Virginia bad. a population Cf 618,443 and 757 retail liquor d < or one to every'B9o people. Mt her South Carolina nor West Vi’giui.i has prohibition, which Maine has had for thirty years.” As an extreme

prohibition Statu, Maine is not lacking in supplies of the' stimulant— Maine evidently is a manufacturing, a sickly, a pious State, and requires extra facilities to meet the demands for mechanical, medicinal and sacramental purposes. The Republican Game ok ‘WigWag!” —Many readers of tho Sentinel will remember a game they used to play in boyhood’s happy days—- “ Thumbs up”—“Fore linger out”— “Wig-wan,” and many other commands, but never a nger moved, on < pain of forfeit, until the order came ’’Simon says wig wag” then every finger, every thumb, every muscle moved with alacrity, ami woe to him ‘ who did not “wig wag” when Simon ■ gave the word. The article in the Republican of! last week, headed ' Personal Liberty in Politics,” is the old game of “wig wag” revised and set to Republican music. No man in that party now dare “thumbs up!’* or“tbumbs down!” or “fore-finger out!” or “sore-singo 1 ’ in, again!” or even to look at his

ticket on election day to set if the candidates are all such men . be would like to vote for, until “Simon' says wig wag.” If they once disr-.* gard this rule of the game, they are “nonoCompos,” and “dough faces!” so the Republicans of Jasper Cohn ty.—Your party organ, the Rensselaer Republican, in its issue c" last week, contains an art..'.]- of mo - - than a column in 1. ngth. entitled “Person, u Liberty in Politics,” which was written, undoubtedly, by authority f Ring-masters and party bosses, an ; was designed to terrorize and .keep you blindly voting the “ tr -ighl” ii- < et, right or wrong. In that erticie •» e several palpable, downri hr. fe.lsehoods, which the writer well l.c w, We cite you to paragraphs G . A w! 7. in which he says that if ihe next L . s~ lature is Democratic “the pending amendments will bo strangledin caucus,” but if Republican, they “will be submitted to a popular vote.” Now, in fairness and candor, we ask him wc ask you, whore did he get his authority for that statement? Certainly not from the Democratic Platform, which says “ * * but we are in fa 'vor of the submission of said proposed amendment, as well as all the ot - ‘er proposed amendments, to the peo’ple, according to the provisions of ‘the Constltuticn for its own amend ’ment.” Can you, can he, or can any fair minded man ask for a more pos itive declaration? But the writer of that article is wofully exercised over the fact that many Republicans are still honest, thinking men, and wil undoubtedly vote their sincere icon" victions; and if they do, he sees, and everybody else sees that there are better men, more capable, industrious* and more temperate in their habits, placed in nomination by the Democracy, than some that oppose them on the Republican ticket, and that you may Wish to vote for the best men. But fearing that argument will not persuade you to vote “straight,” he resorts to billingsgate slang, and that if you labor for the success of Democratic candidate, you are “a DOUGH-FACE.” Well, Dough faces, how do you like that kind of “taffy”? Do you claim the proud distinction of American citizenship, only to be led by the nose by would be party bosses and ring-masters ? Are you to be denied the sacred right to vote for the best man for State Senator,

Auditor, Clerk, Sheriff, Recorder, oy '’uy other ofilc-e, unless you face the s'igtna of such.epithets os “non'compgs,-” and “dough-face?” The article we* cite you to in the Republican, was evidently written by acme dys? entile, laboring under the delusive hope that, if hia appeals to your reason could not be heeded, be would keep you “straight” by hurling epi hets of abuse and anathemas that would.affect some other function of the mind; and it clearly shows to what desperate means the ringmasters are resoriing, when they have to admit t at “the personal history of Tach man on the republican ticket ‘may not how life long sobriety,” bu l no matter what may be their history y may •ot exercise the right of a’ r e cit!Z"U and vote as your bettor judgment dictates. You must vote it “sti..i ght,” or be denounced as “non- ! compos.'or dough-faces!”

i We now appeal to your considerate ; imb merit as men who know their ‘ rights, “and knowing dare maintain” • at tn*- Lallot-box If you prefer the ; success of party candidates regard- I l.ssof qualifications.or sobriety, you i w. ! vote “ straight,“ but if you prefer . | to act upon your better judgment, and - exercise the privilege that ought t° i be freely accorded to every citizen o 1 ■ ! this proud commonwealth, you wil : ! give no heed to this party gag. but j scrutinize the character and ability ! of the different candidates, and then vote for the men who will best perform the dutic of their respective efi < es; mJ of whose actions, eithe r : in public or .private life, you will not : " ashamed in after years. i And now Bcnnm Harrison seeks his hob-.
