RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1886.
Dedicated to Simon's Man ‘Friday.'
Uni on Township, | February 22, 1886. | Editor Sentinel: The last issue of the Republican contained an article from an indignant Republican, of Goodland, (?) who resorts to the usual methods of vilifying an honest and honored man, for the -ole pur pose of brightening the prospects of his pet candidate for State Senator. His attack on Senator Hoover i s a base fabrication throughout, and will be frowned upon by ev-ry honest and intelligent voter :n the district, regardless of political convictions. He says “Hoover even tried t > reform (?) some few individuals in this part of the district against whom he held notes, during the campaign in this section. — And the campaign previous, while he was yet a citizen of our town, flour and other articles of merchandise were at a very low ebb with the great reformer (?) and the success of the reform (?) party was more precious to them than any article of merchandize he possessed.” “Republican” wo’d have his readers believe that Senator Hoover corrupted the voters of Goodland and vicinity. The charge is not only, a slander upon Senator Hoover, but an insult to the voters as well. There can be no excuse offered for the wanton and uncalled for attack upon Senator Hoover, except that it comes from a narrowminded and chronic grumbler who, true to his nature and the traditions of his party, seeks every opportunity to turn his batteries of vituperation, regardless of facts, upon members of the opposite political part . Every one acquainted with the political history of this senatorial district knows that vilifying and election eve lies form a chief characteristic of Republican campaign methods. A large number of documents containing trumped up falsehood and slander, were printed and distributed in the various townships of Benton, Newton and Jasper counties on the eve of the election of 1882, when Senator Hoover was a candidate, but they utterly failed m their purpose—rather operated in his interest.— The same methods are used to rid the Republican party of certain members who are lucky enough to capture a nomiuation. Will “Republican” please explain the origin of those Republican ticxets upon which appeared the name of James T. Sav.nderson for Circuit Judge? If it was a Democratic trick, why i s it that your papers have not exposed it? Why is it that your lips, and those of your party, are hermetically sealed on the subject? “Republican” being well acquainted with the disreputable methods of the “God and morality party” seeks to measure Senator Hoover and the Democratic party by the same standard that he and his party are to be measured. He seems to forget that it was his party that stole the Presidency in 1876, “soaped” Indiana in 1880, and carried Cincinnati threugh the use of bul -dog revolvers in the hands of deputy U. S. Marshals and the paid tools and minions of the Republican party in 1884. “Republican” hole’s up his hands in holy horror because Senator Hoover sold flour and other articles of marchandise at fair prices. It may be, Judas lixe, he seeks to betray his benefactor Or, perhaps Senator Hoover holds a note against him for unpaid flour and other articles of merchandise? “Republican” ind : gnantly denies that his (and the machine’s) candidate for Senator has been a slanding candidate for that position for a decade past. Why modify the statement. Drop the modification, “for that position,” and see how it would read. C Perhaps “Republican” would do well to inform himself, and not make such ridiculous blunders, or he might fall into a bottomless pit. Dropping your modification, the history of your Senatorial candidate would read something like this: “When the first boom of the
rebel cannon fired his patriotic heart” he weekly asked for the position of County Superintendent and then objected going to the front as he then held the highly onorous and patriotic trust of directing the educational institutions as to the best modes of teaching “young ideas bow to shoot.” Afterward he became Prosecuting Attorney. In 1880 the Congressional t ee made sweet music in his ear, but Mark L. DeMotte destroyed theg blissful hope. Then for Senator, but crafty Wimer snatched the rrize (nomination) from between him and Hon. John P. Carr, but Wimer was in turn flayed by the Democratic nominee.— Once again he sought the nomination for Senator, but Travis came in ahead, but was in turn downed by the reformer, Hoover. Afterward, seeking the nomination for Representative, he he was badly Dunn up. If those rminiscences are not agreeable to the “standing candidate,” he must blame his Good! and (?) man Friday for their forthcoming. Young D:"'.iograt.

Peterson’s Magazine for March opens with an article that will attract more than ordinary interest: “Salem and Salem Witchcraft,” illustrated with engravings of the house where the witches were tried —a sac-simile of the death-war-rants, etc., etc. The other articles —origi. al stories —are all of the usual high character which distinguishes “Peterson.” There is a charming steel-engraving, “Dear Mamma” ;a mammoth colored fash-ion-plate; a colored pattern in Java canvas; and not less than fifty wood-cuts, illustrating fashions, embroidery-patterns, etc., etc. It seems to us that every lady, and ven every family must find this magazine indispensable. The price is but Two Dollars a year, which places it within the reach of all: with great deductions to clubs, and costly premiums for getting up clubs. Specimens are sent gratis to those wishing to get up clubs. Now is a good time to get up clubs. Address Charles J. Pei erson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Gainesville (Texas) Hesperian : A youngster picked up a niece of unslackedlimo on his way to school the other day and put it in his jacket pocket. During the session he jammed a wet sponge into his pocket and steam began to pour forth. He didn’t just know what to do, the whole school was in a roar of laughter, and the frightened teacher flew to his side, thinking that his clothing was on fire, and hastened to remove the combustibles irom his pocket. In doing so her hand was severely burned. He took a lecture upon his stupidity from his teacher with an air of amiability which suggested that he was satisfied if she was. ——ME— l Goods delivered at all points in Rensselaer, from the Chicago Grocery.
“Pink” Fishback has been talking to a Chicago paper, and here is what he said: I was one of the “Indianapolis colony” which was engaged in the editorial rooms of the old M ssouri Democrat, and whose mission was to rejuvenate journalism in the old town, when George T. Lanigan (who recently died) became attached to the paper. He was an odd-looking character when he arrived in the city from Canada. — His hair was white and his cheeks were as blooming as those of any girl you ever saw. He wore a sort of pea-jacket, with big buttons on it, and a pair of corduroy trowsers. As he went staring about the streets a policeman asked him what he was about. “None of your business,” retorted George, and he was forthwith hustled to the lock-up. The night editor went out and secured his release, but Lanigan felt so humiliated and the night editor so sympathe ic that morning found both of them behind the bars.— Lanigan was the most facile writer I ever saw and could reel off copy by the yard. He had a splendid education and a wonderful memory for literature of all kinds. It was not he who got up the smallpox sensation, however, as has been published, but George Harding, another well-known newspaper man, who was then a member of the force.
Gen. Bragg scalped most hand, somely the Republican gang that were barking at him during his defense of Fitz John Porter the other day in the House. A correspondent says: He was in the most happy form. His seat is in the center row, and he took his stand in the center of the eastern aisle. A t the beginning of each paragraph he would march down to the inner circle, where the members pass through the tellers, and standing there he would hurl philippic after philippic against Pope, McDowell, Stanton, Halleck, and others, that had tremendous effect on the other side. It was obvious that the true policy of the Republicans was to bear castigation in silence, but Steele and Cutcheon and Brumm could not be restrained. They continued to interrupt him, and as he overwhelmed them they would sink into their seats with the yelp of a bench legged mongrel shaken by a bull-dog. The Democrats-en-joyed the scene to the uttermost and greeted every climax with applause, in which the galleries heartily joined, and which would continue while the little man returned to the center f the aisle from whence he would again march down to the circle, when a stream of words would pour from his lips in a voice perfectly audible to every uart of the hall. After he had badgered and punished and bated the Republican party for nearly an hour, Steele called time on him, but the Speaker annnounced that he had six minutes remaining, whereupon a candid member on the Republican side said: “Thank God it is no more.” Peed, of Maine, showed his good ser.se and capacity for leadership by efforts to restrain his friends from interrupting him, but the galled jade’s withers were so wrung that they could not endure it, and the more they squirmed the more* they were tortured by the unmerciful little devil who was relentless in the punishment he meted out to them.

Chicago Herald: The eulogies of many of the ex-organs on Seymour and Hancock make queer reading. They were men above reproach in private life, one was a statesman of ripe experi nee, the other wrs a gallant soldier, the worldjis better for their live# in it, they were both great historic characters —but. But what? Why, they were Democrats. By and by somebody will reproach T. Jefferson and A. Jackson forbsing Democrats. For Hardware, go to Vanvoorst.

Ex-Sheriff John W. Powell has leased the Halloran Livery and Feed Stables, and respectfully solicits a liberal share of the public patronagp. J. R. VanVoorst has traded his farm east of town for the Cleaver stock of hardware at Rensselaer, and will move to that place by the first of April to take charge of the establishment.
