RICE, of Floyd, For Treasurer of State, JOHN J. COOPER, of Marion. For Attorney General, FRANCIS T. HORD, of Bartholomew. For Superintendent of Public Instniction, JOHN W. HOLCOMB, of Porter.

The slate is somewhat disarranged. Rev. W. D. Owens, is the radical nominee for Congress. Dan Frazer, we are informed, cast the vote of Benton county in the Judicial convention. ——>*•>» • The Kentland Gazette and Rensselaer Republican are presenting “taffy” to Messrt. Chiicote, of this place, and Streight, of Fowler. The Democratic State Convention was full in representation, placed in nomination a first class ticket, and adopted a ringing platform of no uncertain sound.

John A. Logan, D. D., by pre-ar-rangement raised points of order, and James G. J Blaine, G. G., ruled on them in the interest of monopolies.— It was well to unite them on the Re. publican ticket that they might go down to oblivion together. The Republican Reformers (?) in Congress Saturday last sought to reduce the Treasury surplus by taking the tax off of whisky and tobacco while maintaining the duty on the necessaries of lie, but Col. Morrison promptly squelched the plotters. The Democracy of Benton and White did well in the selection of John 3. Timmons for Representative. He is a reliable Demoerat, a good citizen and a practical man well and favorably known, and will easily get away with his radical opponent Sills.

We shall have more to say of the Republican Judicial Convention as occasion may require. The delegates from this county, instructed as they were, with the ability to see the arrangement of things should have declined to participate in its proceedings. M. F. Chiicote, Esq., carried this county almost solid for delegates to tne Republican Judicial Conven tion. When t) e convention met he found its arrangements so manipulated that he refused to allow his name to go before it, and refuses to consider himself bound by its action Streight, of Benton, is in the same boat. A republican, occupying a' promi nent place in the party in this county at least as a figure head, is said to have recently declared he would vote the republican ticke? with the De vil at its head, in preference to the Democratic ticket with Jesus C> rist in the lead. Such a declaration is not. an evidence of smartness. It is simply an exhibition of political ignorance and taste. He is joined to his idol.

The Greenback party of Jasper county last Saturday placed in nom« ination the following ticket: For Tteasurer—John Jordan, if Carpenter township. For Sheriff—O. K. Ritchey, of Marion township. Commissioners—Bronson W. Harrington, of Union, aud W. C. Pierce of Marion. For Surveyor—William Iliff, of Jordan townshipThe Democratic Congressional Convention for the Tenth Indiana District, will be held at Rensselaer on Tuesday, July 22d 1884. Hon. T* J. Wood will be pre-s* nt and address the people on the issues of the day. Members of the County Democratic Central Committee are requested to meet in Rensselaer on the day ap pointed for the Convention for the transaction of important business. We have always wished that the Judiciary was beyond political pre* ferment—that the positions connected therewith should seek the men instead of men seek the positions.— This proposition may find realization in this district A strong effort is being made to induce James T. Saun

derson, Esq, vs Kentland, to allow his name to go before the peoole.— Be has never aonght the position, is capable and honest, and would no doubt meet the expectations of the people if he yields to the solicitation and is elected.
