We trust our Democratic friends in the several townships of Jasper county will bear in mind that Saturday of next week, July 26th, is the time designated for holding township conventions for the purpose es selecting delegates 1 6 the County Convention, to be held in Rensselaer, the following Saturn day, August 2, 1890. Turn out ! Send in full delegations. Instruct them to select a full ticket of honest, capable, representative

men, and Jasper county will be redeemed! There will be no bull - dozing this year, thanks to aDemooratic 4 legislature, and an election law worthy its labor. Again, we say, turn out! The Democrats of Marion town, hip are requested to meet at the Court House, in Rensselaer, SATURDAY, JULY 26,1890, at 2 o’clock, p, m., to transact business enumerated in the call, and solect 20 delegates to tUe County Convention. LEE E. GLAZEBROOK, Chairman Township Com, Democrats! Remember July 26! , •

The Democracy of Jasper and Newton oounties will soon be calls ed upon to present a candidate for the suffrages of the people to rep-* present them in the House of Representatives of the State. He should be honest, capable, intelli - gent, and in full sympathy with the people. We submit the name of Lee E. Glazebrook, of this county. He is an industrious farmer and tills the sod in summer months; he is a capable educator, and in winter months is generally employed by our school officials to instruct the minds of vouths. He is no office* seeker, and this announcement will probably be more of a surnrise to him than to any othei of our readers. He will come nearer meeting the demand at this time than a_y other that can be named, and we are satisfied, too, he can be elecfed. .The Democrats of Newton county have placed a good, strong tick et in the field, and we hope it will be elected.

Last week one day we were confronted by an old friend with the information that a report was in circulation that we intended to support a nominee on the county republican ticket. It was decidedly news to us, contrary to our mode of proceeding, never having done such a thing in our life, and we therfore promptly gave it the lie. This week an honest, well-to-do farmor friend was approached bv a certain gentleman( ?) cf more leisure than discretion or means with the proposition: what he thought would be the outcome of a new paper ? Isjthere a connection between the false report and the proposition? Did the originator of the proposition in this case originate and circulate the lie referred to? Evidently “Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do,” even during this hot weather.

Th re is a probability that the republican election force bill which passed the House on such a small margin and has gone to the Senate will not be acted on this session. It is a bill designed to perpetuate republican rule in spite of the people. It places partisan supervisors in charge cf election precincts who are responsible to no authority for their actions, and the provisions of the law to be enforced and sustained by bayonets. We do not believe the people will sanction this advance toward the establishment of a despotism. It should be made an issue in the approaching elections.

Read the remirks of Judge Chipman, of Michigan, in the House, on the Lodge infamy—the force bill—in this Sentinel. Jas. G, Blaine has written another letter, this time to Senator Frye, of Maine, in which he criticises and severely condemns the McKinley tariff bill. He says: “There is not a section nor line in the entire bill that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork.” Referring to sugar, he insists that the tariff should not be taken from it unless Cuba will receive our wheat and flour free. Ha refers to the retaliatory disposition of England in the encouragement given by that government to the production of cereals by its ovn people to the exclusion of our products, etc. J. G. 8., is imbibing Democratic doctrine.

The Farmers’ alliance of Ming ncsota in its platform adopted the other day denounces the McKinley bill as “the growing infamy of protection.” Accessories to ths Eldredge Sewing Machine can be procured of Mrs. Jas W. MeEwen
