Democratic Sentinel, Volume 8, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 February 1884 — They Endorse Judge Hammond. [ARTICLE]

They Endorse Judge Hammond.

Bob logersoll thiuks CsDgress did Just right iu passing tbe FitzJotn Porter bill. Some people have an idea, said he, that a good General six mules and a blundsr-buss can w.dp the world. The Peru Sentinel favors the nomination of Hon. David Turpie, es Marion county, as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, believing him to be the bast and ablest man for the position. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: “Those protected manufacturers in PennsyK vania who ‘import’ laborers from Europe can hardly fail to realize th»t they are alienating their American workmen, and may lose their votes. No employes proclaim more vehemently than those of Pennsylvania that the tariff protects labor, giving it high remuneration aud steady employment. And nene are qeicker te send to, England and the continent for pauper laborers io take the place of American citizens who protest agaiDst reductions of wages.” Protection is a good tiling for the manufacturers, but net for the wage-work ers. In another column we publish tne resolutions adopted by the late Republican conv.entleu no mire complimentary than deserved by Judge Hammond. He is regarded by his neighbors as a gentleman, a profound, honest and able jurist. We hazzrud nothing in saying that in this, his old judicial circuit, he would leave uis associates oq the Republl can S.ute ticket far in the rear. To succeed against him would require the nsminutiou of a candidate his equal in tbe virtues enumerated, as his equal J n popularity in the locality iu which he may have his hom'i,— The selection of such candidates will leave the 8ta r e Judiciary in good shape succeed who may. At the Jasper County Republican Mass Convention, recently hold at Rensselaer, resolutions were unanimously adopted thanking*Governor Porter for tbe appointment of Hon. Edwin P. Hammond, of Jasper couuty as one of the Supreme Judges es the State, and instructing the delegates from Jasper county to the Republican State Convention, to do what they cun honorablly do to secure the Domination of Judge Hammond, as a candidate on the Republican State ticket, for Supreme Judge from the Fifth District. Judge Hammond is an upright and honorable Rcnlleman. —Valparaiso Messenger.

Congressman Frank H. Hurd, of the Toledo (Ohio) District, to the President of the Ohio Wool Growers’ Association: “Sir, it is just such men as you who are sapping the very foundations of our Eepubiioan i sti tutions. It is just such men as you who are to-day growing rich at the expense of the poor or the land. It is just such men as you. sir, who are sapping the life blood out of the growth and prosperity of the agricultural sections es the country, and forcing every small farmer in the land to mortgage his littlejjjhome to pay a tribute te the ricn and corpul*nt bondholders of Wall street. It is just such men as yon who are today enriching themselves dff the ▼err clothes the poor have to put on ttaoir backs. Sir. lam opposed t > your schemes. Away with your mo»» uopolies and high tariff.” Would to God wo had more Hurds in Congress- — . . W -4« «»-Oi' I— - . .. The Secretary of the Prison Reform Association has attempted a reply to Secretary of State Myers, in which he states *hat Fraud Hayes yras -elected as President of the organization on the (false) ass umotion tuat ha had beer President of the United States. Ir Hayes has a par tide or manhood m his composition the galling fact will over bo present with him that be never wgs Presi dent— that at most ha was on )y acting Hrosident by virtue of the fiaud and perjury committed y those who counted him in. The Secretary of the Prison Reform Association should resogaize the fact, as it exists— as the poopH and as even Hayeo himself is bound te aeceptlt— that he (Hayes) is the great Continental Fraud of the age. Secretary of Stato Myeis aim ply spoke the truth. It is well that It be kept bsfore ths people:

This week the editor of the Republican withdraws hi* accusation against MeCraekena and Kiik. He i* a kappy family. From the Montieello National we learn that W. W. Davis, for blackmail aid robbery was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary f or five years# Our neighbor expresses a very harsh opinion of Hon. D. W. Voorhees. We regret (!) this and only hope Dan will never discover It, as it would must undoubtedly make him feel bad. The Democratic State Convention has been called to meet at Indinnanoli c , June 25’h n.ext. Now let the Democratic Central Committee of Jasper t ounty.be called together, and preliminary steps be taken for thorough organization and a vigorous warfare be made against the further supremacy of radicalism within our borders. Mrs. General Garfield ha* usneces - sarily and unpleasantly come into publie notice in a letter to Mr. Horr, of Michfgun, thinking him for his speech in opposition to the Fitz John Porter bill> Now Mrs. Garfield should write a letter to Gens. Grant, Rnsecrans and Slocum, the old war Governor of Pennsylvania, Curtin, and others, denouncing] them for their support of Gen, Porter.

Our neighbor denies sending & boy or a copy of tbe Sentinel Quite a number or persons were in 'he Office at the time, and on the (unnsu-, al) appearance of the boy in question the universal expression of thosw present was that he had been detailed for the service. Orjjceurse the paper was not for the Republican, the editor mey be considerable of a dampool. but not so far gon« as that, — The paper was no doubt piocured for h s use all the same. — tThe Republican copies from the Indianapolis News and Her-ald-Chronicle, two Heading Republican papers, articles deprecatory of the equalization bounty bill, and de nuucivory of Mr Voorhees. Mr. Marshall endorses the denunciation of Senator Voorhees emphatically, and pretends to onderse the equalization bounty bill. It is a left handed endorsement. The soldiers, their G A. R. resolutions endorse the bountv bill and Voerhees, The Republican editor was never n seldier. -—.I. —— The greenback labor party, in State convi ntion, February 22d. 1884. nominated a full state ticket >s follows: Forlgoverner, H.
