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. The score at Monen yesterday resulte- —Monon 13; Rensselaer “Kids” 12. The Jasper County Normal Institute will commenie exercises next Monday and continue five weeks. Ex-Governor Porter recently announced to the Republican State Central Committee that everything was not as harmonious in their own ranks as they pretended.
