Ex-Congressm *n Patton is being pressed for the position held by Billy Owen —Sup’t of Immigration. No better appointment eo’d be made.

It has been suggested by a number of good democrats that a eens stitutional amendment be adopted wiping out the Legislature, and to confer its functions upon the Indianapolis Sentinel. From present indications “crow” will occupy considerable space on the bill of fare that will be dished out to a number of democratic journals in the next campaign.

At Delphi the other night they held a hugging matinee for the benefit of the church. A certain certain citizen paid 26 centsdo hug one ol the pretty creatures on exhibition and after he had been at the job for some fifteen minutes he discovered that he had been squeezing his own wife. He kicked up such a row that the management had to refund him his money.— So says the White County Democrat.

White County Democrat: In In* diana the so ca'led people’s party wtre loud and clamorous to have our ballot system so arranged ' hat hereafter it would have representatives on the election boards. In this the wish was gratified. In Kansap, however, this noble aggregation of old partyferank s seemed to think differently and with the help of republicans a law was pass d that entirely excludes democrats from any part or parcel in counting the vote. The people’s part / bids fair to outrival any of its rivals in the ert of demagoguery-

Congressman Hammond is very stronglp urging exCongressman Patton for Superintendent ot Ims migration.

Rensselaer, I*»d., March 17, ’93Editor Sentinel: In several late issues of the Republican, editor Marshall attacks me because of my personal appearance. I have no objection to his attacking my ability or my past record, which is public property, but when he ridicules my personal appearanc he has reached the point where forbearance ceases to be a virtue. lam not responsible for my personal appearance, and owe no one an apology because mv Creator did not form me after eds itor Marshall’s ideal. No one not devoid of every instinct of a gone, tleman will hold up the personal 8} pearance of any man to ridicule. Such a man is n t fit to mingle in decent society, ai d deserves to be publ.cly cowhidedj for in no other way can the sensibilities of such parasites be reached.

Cheer up! The Grand Army of Rensselaer Post No. 84, is booming, as well cs the town of Rensselaer . Many recruits are making applications to Rensselaer Post No. 84, Department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic.— This Post has now 82 members in good standing, aud before Decoration Day we will number 100 or mor?, and then we will sing that good old tane “When Johnny Comes March.ng Home Again, H i ah!” There are a great many soldiers who wore tne blue now without the Grand Army badge, and without a homo. Now, oid soldiers, come and make your application at once to the Grand Army of the Republic and have a home w th us, for it won’t be long until the long roll will be called, and the Grand Army will be there. Soldiers, think of it when you are straggling along. Where will you be on that day

These appointments indicate the unreliability of the news dished out by the Republican to its readers this week.
