OFFICIAL VOTE OF JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, NOVEMBER 4,1884.

Jlr. Blaine thinks the negro vote should huve been counted for him. That New York and Indiana exhibited unwarranted State pride In the support of their sons Cleveland and lien !rlcks • And that the State pride or M due displayed in bis t ehalf was all vertproper. The speech or Blaine, a Augusta, Maine, the other evening is an insub to Aioeiloan citizenship. With <>vi r 99,000 of the f apular vote, and 37 of the electoral, op cosed to him, he evidently thinks none but Blaine votes nave any right with the ballot. Mt. Blaine should remember Aaron Burr, who was as magnetic as he dare be* Let ht i speech be kept on record. In striking contrast the following remarks of Gen. Gordon are patriotic and refreshing: “To that large and better class of Republicans, to tae millions of patriots in the Republican party who have been misled by their leaders, and who are filled with honest doubts as to what the Democrat will do wi:hita victory, «e are ready to answer. We are ready to pledge the good faith of American citizens that, under the ad* ministration of President- Cleveland, no rash revolutionary legislation will be attempted; no interference with the bos. interests of American indus* tries or American labor will be permitted; no useless xperiditures of public money will be tolerated; but fidelity tc the constitution and the laws, fideiitv to the public credit, fidelity to the pledges of the nation to its brave soldiers and sailors fidelity to every legitimate result ot tne war, fidelity to our, pledges to the Ameris can people, will make the udministralion of President Cleveland and the men who elected him.”

In keeping with the remarks of Blaine, the o her eveiling, are the following morais placed upon the P. 0. bulletin board, by H. E. James, PM. the morning follwing the jollifl*atlon at this place; “The vandalism committed las 1 night are the legitimate, organized deliberate insults of Democracy for “Reform,” * “In the interest of Reform the Democracy of Jasper Goii'ity deliberately, Want c>i:’/ insult every soldier who los n leg or arm, or who was wounded in the line of duty in defense of the Union.” Mr. Blaine tninks none but Blaine Republicans should have tne privi* lege of the ballot. And Mr James th ii ks noi i b it Elaine Republicans ihouid enjoy a jollification. C ur candidate for Congress, Hon. Thomas J. Wood, acknowledges his detent like a man. Ho made a close Bbd laborious canvass ®f the District. Ho boldly met the tariff questiou and marie ii the issue in the canvass* and tho change shows a larger relative gain to the Democracy in l* Tent Oousessional D’slrHt than in any other in the State. Mr. Wood is satisfied with his canvass and with the result, and authorizes The Sentihel to retuan his most heartfelt thanks to his Democratic and Republican friends for their earnest work for him. Mr. Wood reels rejoiced over the Democratic State and National victory.

Tbe Chicago Tribune of Saturday, November Bth, publishes the follow' ing villainous editorial: “If Cleveland has carried New York Conkling alone has thrown enough votes to him in Oneida county to mako up more than his majority. This is Conkling’s return to the Republican Party for all »he hi nors it has beap> ed upon him, and this is the way he proves his stalwart Republicanism. His malicious treach-ry will cause many people again to believe that he inspired Guitean to fire the fatal ball into the body of Garfield." Was it not rather tbe continuous uad persistant tagging of Garfi-ld by Biain**, to pursue a policj of pioecrip'.ion against the stalwaits that “inspir' fid” the crank Gaiteau “to fire the fa cal ball into the bod* of Garfield?”

Our “damphool” neighbor is in ecstasies this week. The composition of the Rensselaer “headlight” radical correspondent of the Delphi Times is inserted in its columns, in ac cordance wiih an understanding. We don't know who to pity most—toe darit skinned, Etbiopian-featured.and highly conceited manager of the Times, the illumirated ‘headlight’ the Onion-scented "damphool” of the Republican, or the young radical orator who presumes that radical success in this county depended and is wholly due to his magnificent canvass and influence, and yet is such an iguor. am us as to take it from the Times .communication that we had been canvassing Delphi with a petition for the Post Office in Rensselaer. But then we pity them all. The aid of

Cramp ton will not do the Republican party any good, the Democratic party any harm, or do ua any hurt.* In fact wa think he baa rather helped usQuite a number of solid Democrats have approached ua with the suggestion that in the event of a change in the post nflice management at this place, they know of no one better entitled to the appointment—this, too. in face of tne fact that we had made no claim <.o it, Whatever.
