Mr. E. C. Nowel9 left yesterday for other parts of the county. * The Republicans gerrymandered Ohio bnt it availeth not. DeMotte said the tariff had a ten* deucy to cheapen articles. Who 13 fool enough to believe it, and what should be thought of the man who would advance It? “Simon’s” brief, in this week’s, Re. publican, might do very well were it not very' yory possible divert the inuendoes, and false surmises expressed against Mr.. Nowels iuto a different and more correc 1 channel than the writer intended. In it’ mo, he lakes pains to give George an excellent character and standing. This s right. But who has traduced him?—- . Certainly uot the Sentinel—certainly ot Democrats. The “bosses”, in their n.xiety to sugar-coat the dose, on the principle that it was “kill or cure” any Tow, insinuated certain things that, had ve been editor ol the Repnblican, we hould not have been damphool enough to publish. The late hour at which the Republican came to baud, 10 a. m. this Friday, renders it impossible for us to expose their last eflort to infuse life into the “pet” of the “ring.” If Mr. Robinsou is desirous t* conduct tire canvass in. the shape presented by the Republican o; this week, we can possibly gratify him ami not be compelled to draw upon fancy for material.

If RDy one thing is settled by the attack on Mr. Nowels in this week’s Republi. can, it is the fact that the “bosses” despair of being able to carry Mr. R obins on through. The article was inspired by 1 ; interview between one of the ‘bosses’ an i a straight Republican, which we publish in another column. John T. Ford, Democratic candidate for Recorder, was in town the other day. 1;; > qualifications are first-class, and his gentlemanly bearing it making him host 8 . iricrids wherever lie gees. He express <" satisfaction at his prospects.of success. ! 'lie Republican is sorely distressed about Mr. Hoover. Mr. H. however, is calm and serene. * Mr. Hooyer is a success.— Republican. Thank you, neighbor, that’s a candid admission. Mr. George M. Robinson may possibly disclaim any knowledge of the intent to publish the article of manufactured false* hoods against Mr. Nowel9 which appears in this week’s Republican, but then his more than usually ftequent vists to that office during the week will settle that point. Dr. Ritchey added a postscript to his card in the Sentinel last week, in which he disclaimed that Sheriff'Powell close,] the Court House to a Greenback meeting and still the Republican is not happy. — Why. Geo. M. Robinson, when Bheriff. we are credibly informed, refused to a committee of ladies for a temperance meeting, and when they had passed beyond hearing expressed himself in terms more emphatic than polite. One of the- Republican “bosses” tackled a strict old member of that party the other day with “Do you adhere to your determination to oppose certain of our county ticket?” “Most assuredly I do, and a large number of the party would do the same thing.” “Well, but don’t you see you will ruin the party by such a course,” replied the self-constituted boss. “No, sir,” said old integrity, “I am tryiDg to the party. To do that, the ring must be smashed. It is time the rank and file were permitted a «av in the selection of candidates, and if they can not have it in con* ■ventian, they will make their choice at the polls, The “boss” took up his line of march, declaring “the party avill be ruined."

Congressman DeMotte is hearing the trace chains rattle rattle in his district.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Ten of the jurymen in the Star Route Robbery case declared Dorsey guilty, and he is still retained as Secretary of the Republican National Committee. The New York Tribune says: “The Repuplicanß of Indiana are taking a manly stand on the prohibitory qestion.” Senator Hafrison has a leg on both sides of the fence. Fred. Hoover, cundidate for Sena tor, and Wm. Darroeh, emididatp for Prosecutor, are in town to-day. Our neighbor ha.« a naiiiphool way of dropping his eyi»s wnen he meets them. Boston Post: Hon. Horatio G. Parker, on being called upon for a speech, merely s..i<l “Ohio” in a loud voice, which was received with tremendous applause.—A volume.in a single word. No more faithful, honest and com petenfc and conscientious public servant has ever filled the office of Auditor in this county than Ezra G. Nowels, and such will be the verdict of the people at the polls, Nov, 7lh next, mark that. The “strikers” for the opposition have commenced the ‘ bluff game” of bantering for bets etc. Some of them* we learn contiary to their expectations, and to their infinite dieguat t Were promptly taken upon their propositions.

Overmyor, Chairman of the State Republii an Committee, and L. P. Mil ligun, of Huntington, were members of the Knights of the Golden Circle. L. P. Milligan came near stretching hemp, and but for the erreat abilities of Judge Jare Black might have rotted in prison. DeMotte said in his speech at this place that he had challenged Hon. T. J. Wood for a joint canvass. If Jie had done so the challenge would have been given the public with a flourish. We do not put much confidence in the statement of Mr. DeMotte, in this regard. A gentlemau who heard Ben Hari son’s speech at Rochester, Bnd., eays he mentioned Seuator Yoorhees’ name 150 times—actual count. Senator Yoorhees lays out more work for them than they can get through with. The Republican speakers have a dreadful pique at Dan. The Congressional vote in Ohio shows about 15,000 more o’ a majority for the Democratic delegation than was received by the state ticket. This shows that whisky was not the causwof the political cyclone in that slate, and the Temperance speaker who urges to the contrary does not speak truly. An old and intelligent residenter, and an oppenect of the Democracy, remarked to us the other day, that it was always his idea that public speakers canvassed the country with a view to enlighten the people, but that he had come to the conclusion that DeMotte tried hardest to pull wool over their eyes.

Hon. Belle S. Sutton, of Shelbyville, was recently approached by a prominent Republican on the subject of Prohibition. Mr. Sutton, yankeelike, answered his question by asking another, which was: “If my postion is the same as yours, will you vote for me?” “No,” said the gentleman, “I will not.” “Then,” said Mr. Suttton, “there is no use of my wasting timo in defining to you my position.”
