The political shyßter and bum. mer wh© circulated the report that we would support the republican candidate for auditor, did so lor a purpose, and without authority from us. He is a liar, was an apt supporter and admirer of that prince of political acrobats, Horace E. James, and cannot appreciate honesty and fidelity to principle in others. No doubt the Demrcrats of Jass per and Newton will name the next member of the Indiana House of Representatives. Billy Owens has proved himself to b an expert dodger the present session of Congress. A good Democrat will defeat him next Novembe.

The belief is daily growing that the Democratic county coni vention on the first Saturday in August next will present for the suffrage of the voters of Jasper county a winning ticket. We invite the fellow that lied about us, whoever he is, to make the same effort for its success that we will. (
