No we don’t We sinceroiy hope and believe that ho will got it; and suggest that we be not impor tuned for our reasons, as we will not give them at present. Frank S. Beadle, of Crown p int, Pest Office inspector, while return • tng from the Republican Congreslional Convention at Montic dlo. Tune 26th, lost a sl2 silk umbrella. The man who tooK it, he thinks, got iff the train at Rensselaer. The Re publican says it is “the common fate/’ t o lose articles in that way at Repub--1 lean Conventions.

The follow! ..u attempt at wit was designedly written for republics* ion in the Republican »r this Diace. Its author is never ?o happy as when engaged iu letting off specimens of his wit, sarcasm and ridicule. To give the item vim, it was necessary that L should owe paternity to a Democratic paper published in a j neighboring town. As it is altogeth er harmless, in order that the “head I light* of its o.i .-inator muy continue to beam and smile, we transfer it to ! the columns of the Sentinel: • [De phi Timet ]

The oldest editor in the State is i undoubtedly J. W. McExen. of the Rensselaer Sentinel. Mr. McEwen \va ihe oi-iy Scotchman in ffie'CTety ! that shipped wi;h Columbus for the ! discovery of America in 149*2. and as t-.-r rhionicling tha r aspicious event I for ‘ l e leading European newspapers ; of that day. he returned to he Old World where be remained until the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. Early iu this struggle he espoused the case of freedom acd an.isted with the American nctiiots and was the Ctst man to discover a pass at tlie Dele rare Water Gap At the >-iose of this war he established a newspaper in Bucks countv, Penn., “up behind Allentown," wad remained there un.il the ecu try settled up and civilization began to crowd him. In the early part of the present century he located at Monticello. this State, where he imagined he would be free from the oppression of luither progress In this supposition he was nearly correct, but the construction of tbe Pan Handle railway and the prospects of an early completion of the Air Line brought in a host of now cornel's aud Mr. AlcEwen dispos ed of his establishment aud removed to the everglades of Jasper county t. region that reminds him of bis first explora'ion of the country in 1492. Mr* McEwen has been a life-long and consistent Democrat and he was so charginod at the defeat of Douglas in 1860 that he registered a vow never to cut his hair, shave, or publish an original article until the disgrace was wiped out by a complete Democratic triumph. He has steadily adhered to this determination and, we must confess, now pr -sents ratiirr an unusual appearaaco. but he is brigbtniug up now that the prospects of Democratic success are brilliant, ard we are assured that iu the events of Ihe election of Cleveland and Hendricks the Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel will become one of the principal newspapers of the age. Mr. McEwen’s long experience and intimate personal knowledge of the political history of t e world are sufficient to give this asset tion entire creden e.

Editor Sentinel: I wish to say through your paper to the persous who are reviving some of the campaign lies of 1882, questioning my integrity relating to the statement that i was not a temperance man but was in the habit of drinking at the bar of John G Reynolds, in Ren9 selaer, the statement being made that Mr. Reynolds should have said that I bad drank at his bar. 1 have no language at command that can express my contempt for the person or persons that utter such loathsome falsehoods, ana for the purpose or nailing the lie 3 quote from raisedlaueous Recotd. No-6. Page 93, Recorder’s office, Recorded April 13th, 1883, a*. 3 o’clock p. m. State of Indiana, j Jasper County, f 8 I, John G. Reynolds, a resident of the towD of Rensselaer, in the State of Indiana, on ray oath depose and say, that during the campaign of 18*2, Ezra C. Nowela, a resident, of said county, and State. a n d candidate for re-election to the office of Auditor, of said county, did not at any time luring the campaign nor at any time before or since, drink or treat to the wh “key or beer at my Bar, nor to any thing else, nor did he give me money to pay for the drinks for the purpose as controlling vote? on election day, as I yerily bdievo.

Dr. Proust, in Paris recommends people during the prevalence of oholera to avoid chills at night, long cold baths, nil excesses of labor or pleasure, and iced drinks—in short everything that can cause physical depression. He advises care in the selection of drinking water, which should be boiled. Ho recommends abstention from raw vegetables, and remarks that both drunkenness and indigestion are predisposing causes. “The laboring classes constitute the main part of our population They should be protected in their efforts pea, ceably to assert thdr rights when endangered <by aggregated capital, i.nd all statutes ba this subject should recognize the care df the State for honest toil and be framed with a view of improving the condition of the workingman.”— Grover Cleveland, October, 1882,

EZRA C. NOWELS.

We commend the nomination of JmmsT. Saunderpon tor Judge cf the rOth Judicial C ircuit. Mr. 8-iu uderson is a gentleman of fine legal ability and of unquestioned integrity. He is a Democrat but not an active politiean. He is liberal and fair-minded toward all. Republicans and Democrats alike would honor the circuit by electing Mr. Saunderson.—Benton Review. In his “Secrets of the Great Whiskey Ring” General McDonald savs: “It has always been a matter of curiosity among the people of this country to learn who were among the prominent men who approached the President for the purpose of having him revoke the order transferring Supervisors. I will her state that, among others, were Senators C layton and Dorsey, of Arkansas, Morion, of Indiana, and Logan, of Illinois.

Promise and Non-Performance.

[lrish-American.] Mr. Plain •. not so very long since was—as United States secretary of State in the ve y position in which to exercise the nob’e duty in behalf <d several Irish-American citizens, who were locked up—untried and uncharged with crime—iu English jails, "hat is the record! Where was the “ U iume<i Knight'* then! One blast upon the bugle horn of bis “agressive Americanism were worth a thousandldemugogue bids from the election huskings now. But the record is a blank —as blank as are *t r. Blaine’s chances of fooling the public, and especially the uaturlized voters, into supporting him at the coming election* The Baptist weekly, the Examiner, says: -‘Grover Cleveland is now in the second year of his Chief Magistracy of the State of New York, and it is not doing too much to rlace him in the frout rank of the best Governors the Empire State has ever bad- As General Bragg said at the Chicago « onvention, his best commendation is the character ot the enemies he has made. He has proved himself to be a State Chief Magistrate who his placed principles above party. Having done everything well be has undertaken to do, there is the best reason to believe that if elected to the Presidency of the United States he will prove himself to be equal to its high and responsible duties, f’e has said, what lew men could say who have received the National nomination for its highest office, that it is au honor which he has never sought.”

The call tor the Irdependent Conference in this city on July, 22, which we publish elsewhere, is in the right spirit. It does nothing except request all Re publicans, and Independent voters “who think the interests o' good government aad public morals demand the defeat” ot Blaine and Logan to assemble in conference to agree upon a common course of action. What that couise will be there can be bnt little doubt. A mi-Blaine Republicans are entirely unanimous, so far as we are informed: in their determination to vote directly for Cleveland, and tnus make their rebuke of unworthy Republican management as emphatic and damaging as possible,— New York Evening Pont. It is sometimes the case that parties are factionized because of a difference of opinion upon que.tions of especial importance, such as the tariff, currency, e c., but the Independent Republicans refuse to support Mr. Blaine because his record is that ot a dishonest man. He lack? integrity. He is known tr be yen nl. and Independent Republican papers furnish the proof tl at the binding obligations of an oath were not sufficient to make him tell the truth-

Calkins Calls Prohibition ‘a Craze.'

To the Editor of the Sentir el. Sir—ln as much as Major Galkins, Republican candidate tor Governor, is said to have denied the coriectness ol his reported Chicago interview relating te tli*. lowa election, and Republicans are clamoring for the pToof, it is well, in justice o all parties that the facts be given, leaving the good Major to dispose of rbe same as he may choose. In the Indiana poh % Journal of July 24, 1888. on page 4. is the following:

Major Calkins on the Tempe rance Question.

Interview in Chicago. “What do you think of the Democrat ic claim, that thevjwill carry lowa this year?” Maj<'r Calkins said: ‘*lt may l>e partially realized. Tliev may elect their Governor, but they will never get control of the Legislature It Sherman is beaten for Governor, I think the Republicans at large ill have reason to rejoice, for it will be the death fcl >w to the prohibition craze that ha 9 obtruded itself into politics prematurely. We must take info consideration that there are millions of dollars involved in the liquor business, and it would hardly be right to sacrifice this large capital.— The evil must oe overcome gradually, and high license is the only raiional method of beginning. I am a temperance man, and am to that end a high license man.” The public will look with «ome interest to the action of mauy avowed Prohibitionists, at least so far as may rifleot upon their vote next November. Many thousands of Christian men and women of Indiana are awaiting with anxious soliciturle to hear if the several reverend gentlemen, who attended and co-operated with|the recent Republican Houser aff*ir, will ca9t their vote for JYI»,« jor Oalkius, who denounces prohibition as “obtruding itself into politics,” aud a “craze,” and who says that the defiat ol a Prohibition candidate would afford “reason to rejoice,” or will they vote for Hon- R. 8. Dwiggins, an avowed Prohibitionist and standing on a platform In accordance therewith. When th • Republicans who are for the g. o, p. firs' aud Prohibition afterward place them- J selves in a political attitude of som* consistency, it will then be time to ceas*» 1 the ‘stop thief 7 cry and inquire after the 1 s| iritual condition of the Democratic -j party. So ong as Republicans are tea I cowardly to speak a way irorn their party i bosses, that are striving to gag the voice of the people by hypocritical pretenses, and who have cast insult into the face of every Republican temperance man, and who have perpetrated the supreme indignity of grinding out a.candidate for Governor in full nccoid with the liquor interest, they ought to close their lips and bow their faces in shame. All papers desiring to publish the truth are requested to copy without further notice. PnOHIBITIONIST. Rockville. Ind,. July 29. 1884.

Our first visit to Renseelfcrr was made . last Tuesday for the pnrpose of attending the Democratic Congressional Convention that nominated Hon. T. J Wood for Congrees.

“The safety ot ibe Republic rests up on tbe integrity of the ballot.” says Mr Blaine. “Carrying Indiana is merely a Question of finai c says Chairman J< ues, of the Republican Nuttouai Committee, a devout believer in “the integrity ot the ballot'*—and in the value of “soap,”—Brooklyn Union i.Rep,) —■ «--* —, The Boston Herald thinks the Republican party must be rich in “dudes” and “pharisees” if it can in the one city of Boston furnish 6.000 bolters on a month’s notice. There are seventeen Republican pa pers in Ohio, which refuse to support Blaine and Logan.

Mr. L. Strong, of Newton township, is being urged by many citizens as a very suitable person for the Democracy to place in nomination for the office of County Treasurer. Nat Bates i° being “boomed” for the Demociatic nomination for County Treasurer. For Commissioners, E. E. Rock♦rooti and Brons. W. Harrington a?e favorably mentioned, Wash Scott, of Milroy, and Wiliam Hoover, of Marion township are beiDg urged by their respective friends for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Jasper county.— Honest and capable, either would make splendid, possibly a successful race. Mr. Adam Hess, of Giliam town ship, is urged by many friendsjinlthat and other localities as a very proper candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Ad is a first-rate Democrat, a good citizen, and very popular among his acquaintances.
