Cleveland and Thurman! Let the red bandana wave. Tariff reform the watchword! The Convention has so declared! The President’s message and the Mills bill indorsed! Will Wells for County Treasurer, cannot but be acceptable to the >eople. He is well qualified for the position. John C. Chilcote is extensively and favorably known. During the war he was a member of the 10th MichiganjCavalry. Hie candidacy for the office of Sheriff will rally to his support friends in all parties, and he is deserving of it.

Vie. Loughridge, for Coroner, will receive the hearty support of his many friends. If elected, he will satisfactorily perform the duties of the office.

For Surveyor, the Democratic County Convention p ’esents Austin N. Lakin, a popular young gentleman, of Union township, satisfied that he is every way worthy the support of his fellow citizens at the polls.

The candidates for Commissioner are each and all honorable men. holding great interests, and would scrutinize carefully the financial affairs of the county, and with fidelity guard the people’s interests.

i Every township was represented in the County Convention.

The Indianapolis News says Senator Turpie advancod an “admitted proposition” when he said “there’s not a man standing on two legs who can beat Grover Cleve la» d. ■" 11 —*• The letter on the first page of to-day’s Sentinel should he raad by ail- The writer, Capt. Hilligass, an old soldier, from Lis position in the pension office Las opportunities for procuring facts and figures that entitle his epistles to great weight.

The Plymouth Democrat says: Hon. V. Zimmerman, of Rochester, has been nominated by the Democracy of the 10th District as their candidate for Congress. Mr. Z. has served the people of Marshall and Fulton counties four years very acceptably as State Senator and would probably have been renominated had not greater honors been thrust upon him. He combines many elements of success, is a political hustler from awaJJ back, and we predict that he wiil make it decidedly interesting for his Republican competitor, and although the District is Republican by a considerable majority we believe he can be elected if his friends give him the proper assistance.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

Pursuant tv call the Democracy of Jasper county met in Delegate Convention on Saturday, June 2d, 1888, at 1| o clock p. m., in the Court House, Rensselaer, Indiana, and was called to order by the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, Lee E. Glazebrook, in a rousing speech which was received with delight and frequently applauded. The convention organized by the selection of Ira W. Yeoman, of Carpenter I own ship, as chairman, and Jas. W. McEwen and Vic. E. Loughridge as secretaries. The following t.amed gentlemen were placed in nomination for the respective offices by acclam ktion: Treasurer—Wm. H. Wells, of Carpenter. Sheriff —John C. Chilcote, of Marion. Coroner —Vic. E. Loughridge, of Marion. Surveyor—Austin N. Lakin, of Union. Commissioners, Ist Dist. —Daniel H. Turner, of Kankakee. 2d Dist.—James T.

PILOT GROVE ITEMS.

Weather pleasant. The prospect for a good crop of oats is very flattering. Mrs. T. Goodale, who has been dangerously ill, is somewhat improved at this writing. The Republicans will hold their County Convention in Mt. Ayr, on Juns 14th. Miss Minnie Miller’s school, at Mt. Ayr, will close next Friday. A man that will spend his time about saloons while his wife is at home sick in bed, and his children starving, should be kicked to h- 1 and back, or downed with a sandbag. Mrs. Jas. Rob»nson, of Mt. Ayr, visited last week with her parents, living near Momence. At present all the little towns along the new railroad are having a boom. lUoo will get the county seat —in a horn. William Black, from near Momence visited last week with relatives and friends at this place. Mr. J Brunton is hauling the material for a new dwelling house. He will begin work at once. We fail to unde r stand why Ed Schanlaub should wish to inflict such a terrible punishment on old “Gerranium” as we heard him propose doing while in Mt. Ayr a few days ago. It would not only be cruel but would likely kill the “critter.” Captain Jack. Pilot Grove, J une 4, ’BB

THE PENSION OFFICE.

(Concluded from Ist pago.)

widow of that gallant Irish-Amer-ican soldier, Colonel James A. Mulligan. The Commissioner of Pensions, General John C. Black, was also a soldier of distinction, bavin? enlisted when but a youth i an Indiana regiment at the beginning of the war as a private, and from merit rcse to the rank or Bi igadier Genera). 11 was no mistake to place this brave soldier and thorough Democrat in the pension office, as the record he has made most clearly indicates. The Deputy Commissioners, Colonel MeLean of Indiana and General Bartlett of New York, also gallant soldiers, fill places formerly occupied by two civilians who secured their places for party service. More than one-half of the medical examining boards of the country are made up of old army surgeons, and in the pension office nearly sixty per cent of the force is composed of the soldier element of the country, which wag not the case when the present administration came into power. It is in a great measure old soldiers adjudicating the claims of their comrades, and to this fact we n ay largely ascribe the grand results that we have presented in the good work done Value of Pensions. In former administrations it w°s claimed by many pensioners, and not unjustly, that the rating received was not proportionate to the disability existing, and to this fact may be largely attributed the large number of increased claims allowed in 1886. When the present administration came into power in March, 1885, the annual average value of pensions b ing paid the soldiers was 8110.36. At the close of last year the average value had been increase ! to 8 J 30.74, being an advance of 819.74. And yet we find a class of asinine politicians and editors abusing the Democratic administration, and, as in 1884, appealing to our comrades to displace it from power in the pension office. To all such we may say that the records we have here given cannot be dismissed by partisan abuse or passionate appeals to the prejudices of the soldiers and their‘friends The facts are in the records and whatever party malice may do or say it will not change one figure of the records made by the Republican administration, or falsify that made by the Democratic party, which we here present to your readers. If our comrades approve the former they should put the Republicad party back into power—if the latter thev should assist in keeping the Democratic party in power as long as the good work goes on.

Cleveland and the Land Grabbers.

The commissiorer of the general land office has completed an official tabulated statement showing that the total amount of lands actually returned to the public domain and opened to entry and set tlement since the 4th day of March, 1885, when Grcver Cleveland was inaugurated President, is 80,690,720 acres. This land was illegally held by corporations, syndicates, alien companies and cattle kings. The total area of the States of New York Pennsylvania is 60,406,400 acres. So that this recovered l«nd exceeds in area by 20,000,000 acres the two greatest States of the Union with their 11,(MX),000 population. 14 is safe to say that if James G. Blaine had been eleeted President instead of Grover Cleveland, not an acre of these lands would have been reclaimed by the government; and, on the other hand, knowing his close affiliation with corporations, their holdings would have been largely increased.— Blaine was precisely that sort of man, and the same may be said of all the Republican leaders.

The Town Board.

The Town Board met in regular monthly session last Monday right. The tax levy for the ing year was established. For corporation purposes the tax is 50 cents on each 8100 and 25 cents on each poll. Dog tax 81 on males, 82 on females. Road tax 10 cents, special school 50 cents, special additional 20 cents each, on the 8100: Tuition tax, 25 cents on the 8100 and 25 cents on each poll. The Marshal is directed to see that the property owners clear up their premises, clean out the garbage and cart off the empty tin cans. J. H. Willey was re-appointed member of the School Board, to succeed himself. An order was passed to establish the grade of the side walk on the south side of Washington street. The Marshal was ordered to open Weston street to its intersection with Dayton street, just north of Makemself ditch. The deed of this part of this street from J. C. Van Rensselaer provides that the town shall put a wire fence along each side, and make a side-waik when the needs of the people require it.

Not only the larger air-p<*ssagcs. but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. • When these are clogged an I choked with matter which ousrht not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work.
