The Democratic State Convention to meet at Indianapolis on the 11th of next month will have a membership of 1,2§1. Our old friend, John C. Odell, of Delphi, has been elected a member of the State Central Committee for this District in place of A. B. Crampton resigned on account of restrictions of the civil service law. “Local option!” is the battle-cry of the republican party, and in the exercise of that “option” whisky would be voted in every time. An observing total abstinence citizen informs us that it is impossible to find a dozen total abstaining Republicans in Rensselaer. Al. Kitt has resumed control of the Good!and Herald. This wo’d indicate that the nomination of “Our Simon” by the Republicans for State Senator is not ‘enthusing’ the masses very muchly. Our information leads us to believ that Mr. Thompson will sustain a more emphatic defeat than did the opponents of Messrs. Major and Hoover. A colloquy between a couple of Republicans, the other day, was as follows: Ist Republican—“ Well, just as we expected, James’ seeming op-

position to Thompson has secured hi nomination.” Ptcpublican No. 2. —“That’s all well enough, but why, after securing Thompson’s nomination, is he engaged in efforts to defeat him?” Ist Republican. —“How so? Is he not advocating Thomps. n’s election in the Message?” Republican No. 2. —“H —1, man! don’t you see! If J ames’ opposition was essential to Thompson’s nomination, will not his support insure defeat?” They both concluded it looked that way. In another column will be found the announcement of Dr. D.’ H. Patton, of Remington, that he is a candidate for the office of State Senator, subject only to the decision of the people at the ballot box. A pound daughter at C. G Spitler’s Monday night; and a son at Ed. Parcels’ same night. Rev. Wm. H. Saylor, of Troy Grove, 111., is visiting relatives and friends in Jasper county. A new boy at Lew. Day’s last Friday.

Ex-Governor Porter recently announced to the Republican State Central Committee that everything was not as harmonious in their own ranks as they pretended.

WALKER ITEMS.

Oats harvest is now on hand. M*s. John Darner is on the sick list. M. Zick is building a new granary. Robert Zick is able to be about again. J. v v. Clouse, of Barkley, is at work with J. Andrus. Wm. Elliot is making a success of our Sabbath school. Corn never better than now, and the farmers are in good spirits. Harmon Clark has bought a new mowing machine. Miss Mollie Brown talks of going to Aurora, 111., this fall, to stay. Then it will be Fred no more. Gryver Duce is laid up this w r eek with a misplaced arm. A certain young man and two young ladies stopped at Adams Kern’s last Sunday for the purpose of having their fortunes told. If correct, there will be a couple Ah, just let me think! Fair, Gryver Duce! Black is your hair; Your teeth like corals —lips with pearl compare; Your nose is dimple, and your chin is straight; Your eyes, like twin stars, looking for r* mate. Mr. Stalbaum and J. Hershman had some corn stolen the other night.

LICKSPITTLEISM.

“Because neither the Republican nor the Democratic partisan organs have courage to tell the facts as the .- are, it devolves upon this “conscienceless, Ishmaelite” sli to say to Alfred Thompson, Alfred McCoy, Hon. Geo. H. Brown, John Makeever, Addison Parkison, Abraharn Leopold, Oliver B. Mclutire, the Citizens Bank, Marion L. Spitler, the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway company, and every other investor, that the tax levy for county revenue is 25 per cent, more in Jasper than in White county, and nearly 75 p. j r cent, higher than in Newton county.” * * * [Hon. Horace E. James, m Message. We fail to see any display of courage in making the above statement, but we do see a tremendous display of “lickspittleisoi” in the obsequious fawning sycophant crawling at the feet of the gentlemen named, as though the humblest taxpayer w-s not equally interested in the proper management of the financial affairs of the county. We see a desire to retaliate on the Board of Commissioners for “kicking” on advertising in two Repüblican we may examine the tax levy matter, actuated by motives differing from those which seem to impel the Message man.

Prof. William D. Gunning, of Cambridge, Mass., an eminent and widely known writer and lecturer on scientific subjects, is in town, with the double purpose of examining into the geological status of this vicinity, and of giving our people the great benefit of a course of lectures upon geological and kindred matters. He gave his first lecture in the court house Monday evening, and intended to have gone on with the course, but several reasons have induced him the Normal Institute. That the professor’s lecture will be of great interest and value to every person of fair intelligence, no one who to accede to the wishes of many of our citizens, and to defer the course until next week, when so many of the teachers of the county will be present in attendance at was present at his |lecture Monday evening can doubt. He id tends to make a careful examination of the geology of Jasper county and will give his hearers at the lecture the benefits of his observations and conclusions. The announcement of the lectures, with their subjects, appears in another place.

UNCLE BEN.

Rev. Schuyler Spencer, of Monticello, will preach in the Presbyterian church, Rensselaer, Sunday morning and evening, August Ist.

Remember, we always v.se the best material, take great pains to please our patrons, and guarantee satisfaction in every particular. Respectfully,
