The Republican,last week, made the following complimentary an *, nouncement of the republican candidate for representative: “It is reported that a man named Parker, from Remington, was nominated for Representative. Ihere must be a mistake or skullduggerry. As it has proved to be no mis* take the nomination must have been accomplished by “skullduggery!” The republican party is well known for the avidity with which it (resorts to extreme questionable methods to accomplish its purposes, and what may be said of it collectively, may be said of the individuate composing it. John* son, of Newton, up to within 24 hours of the assembling of the convention was conceded a clpar field, but Grant township, Newton county,backed by the entire Jasper delegation, “eooked his goose” for him 1

It is reported that a man named Parser, from Remington, was no** minated for Representative. There must be a mistake or skullduggery.—Rensselaer Republican. isn’t that a sweet scented send off from “The Organ”? Has the Republican joined hands with the enemy ?

The Rensselaer Sentinel is of the opinion that the Democrats cannot elect a judge against Judge Hammond. The Democrats will run a candidate at anv rate, even if he is defeated. They will have a full ticket, from Congressman to Coroner, and fight it out on that line if it takes another generation. This is the opinion of all with whom we hare conversed.—Kentland Democrat. The above information causeth our heart to leap with joy. No Democrat is more uHCompromis ingly opposed to a ‘bob-tail’ ticket than ourself. We only expressed the opinion as to the probability of securing the consent of a com** petent Democratic attorney to if our friend Spottswood has a Democrat in view for the position we shall be too happy to have him announced.

Those who are interested in a “home market” should read the following, clipped from the republican Indianapolis News: “The full meaning of a ‘home market’ onlv grasped when it is known that our Drotected manufacturers charge our buyers from 10 to 30 per cent, more for the same goods than they do fortign buyers.” Three ship loads of ice from from Norway have arrived in New York and broken the combination price. The ice*«barons will have the McKinley bill amended in no time, to prevent the importation of pauper ice. It exemplifies the protection tiusts get from tariff. It is barely possible that the peo-» pie who are benefited like it.—lndianapolis News, rep.
