Democrats! attend your township conventions, to be held at the several places for holding elections, to-morrow, Saturday, May 29, 1886. -At the Prohibition State Conv ntion, in Indianapolis, on Wednesday last, Hon. R. Dwiggins, of this place, was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court. Ingalls, of Kansas, calls Commissioner of Pensions Black an imposter. Black was a target for rebel bullets while Ingalls was striving by questionable methods to secure political preferment. The Message concedes to its party, in the Senatorial unpleasantness, thus much: “By preventing internal discord an unpopular candidate may be elected; with discord the success of the most worthy man will be endangered.” Democratic Candidates. For Clerk, John C. CHlcote; for Auditor, Lute Strong; for Treasurer, Wm. M. Hoover; for Sheriff, Wash Scott and Adam Hess; for Recorder, John B. Lefler, D. W. Shields, and M. A. Makeever are being urged. Democrats, prepare for action! Conventions will be held in the several townships in Jasper county, [on to-morrow, Saturday, May 29th, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the County Convention, which will be held in Rensse aer on the Saturday following, June sth, 1886.

There is an old saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In all such cases, therefore, the Train question to be determined by parties interested will be the cost of the “ounce of prevention.” ■ - A glance at the Republican apportionment foisted upon this State by a Republican legislature and administration, is sufficient to draw from our neighbor Marshall the admission that lion Fred Hoover did a righteous act when he voted for its present proportions. J. W. Duvall was scouring a considerable portion of Jasper, Pulaski, Porter and LaPorte counties last week, on hunt of a horse thief with a pair of horses and a buggy belonging to a Kentland livery establishment. “Wes’’ generally brings his man, but this time he failed to “sot eye on ’im.” The new display of Goods, selected and bought by such a combination of experience and taste as Mr. and Mrs. Ludd Hopkins may justly .claim to have, will certainly sell at the prices offered.
