The Democratic State Central Committee has fixed upon Jane 24th as the date for holding the S' ate Convention. The personality of the oounty republican ticket ie not regarded as strong by any m. ans. A Republican veteran has banled n< a copTof a speech delivered reoently by Congressman Hatch of this district, with the request to publish, as the Republican press seemed to have ignored it. Why should the republican silver men be oritiolsed by their party associates?— All they have done ie to carry 'protection" to its logical end of looking out for No. 1. Says the Springfield Register: Come to think of it, the Wilson bill waß bard on *he shoddy business. Tb peopleoan buy the pure, unadulterated goods oheaper than they o uld shoddy goods under republican legislatson. In the United States Senate reoently the Republicans had a regular Kilkenny oat fight on the tariff bill, the free silver senators refusing to support it unless the tariffltes would dioker in tke interest of the white meta*. The Peoria Herald says: The defeat of that tariff bill was a moasure of retribut tire just'ce. It was conceived under false pretenses and brought forth in iniquity It was intended to pnt the president in a hole. That exoavation is now oocupled by the republican party. The “ninetv-five per oent.” paraded to the front as opposed to the newoourt honse, by Tabor, the Remington Frees. Wheatfield Sheaf and Pilot, knif d Tabor in the Republican convention, and knifed him bad. It was agreed they wo’d give him a complimentary vote on first ballot, and they kept the agreement.

The Demooratio Central Committee for this (Jasper) county has been reorgan~ ized with D. W. Shields Chairman, end Art. W. Nowele Secretary, and should be aggressive. With zealous, honest work tne Demooraoy of Jasper oounty can make a showing of strength next Novem ber that will utartle the enemy. Ex-commissioner Oliver P. Tabor, is annonnued for commissioner from third district, snbjeotto decision of republican convention next Monday. In view of the recent dire threats of Tabor to knook the staffin’ out of the g. o. p. of Jasper oounty, his candidacy has provoked considerable dieonssion among tie faithful as to the advisability of yielding to his wishes. The “Wheatfield Sheaf" and “Remfng. ton Press” seem determined that the “Pilot" shall not share with them opposition to a new oourt house. Bnt the “Pilot" goes them one better in its suggestion of injunction procodings However, after “going down into their pookets" to meet the demands to carry on the emit, a certain failure would oauee those cajoled into the soheme to visit their wrath upon the Pilot. Very properly, Gt vernor Matthews has refused to call the Fairbanks le islature in ex ra session. The Fairbanks contingent of the republican state oommittee, in the faoe of the vehement protests of the largest element of the party, have commenced proceedings against the apportionment law of 1885. Chairman Holt, of the Demooratio oommittee, responding to a query concerning the move, said: 'We shall endeavor to take oare of ourselves, while we watch the other fellows break their necks.”

The Republicans of Jasper county have placed in nomination the following ticket: t Recorder—Robert R. Porter. Treasurer—Jesse 0. Gwia. Sheriff-Nuth n J. Reed. Coroner—Truitt P. Wright. Surveyor—John E. Alter. Connty Assessor—John K. Phillips. Commissioner, Ist District— Abraham Halleok. Commissioner, 3d District—Frederick Way mire. The gentlemen composing the tioket are fair men, but the Demooratiol convention will improve npon it, especially in candidates I or 'commissioner. Senator Frye, republican, announces that the Dingley tariff bill is as dead aB Julius Caesar.— And the veneroble Senator Morrill expresses himself as disgusted with the spectacle of helplessness presented in the Republican U. 8. Senate. Thus the hopes of our Republican neighbor, and Jake D. Rich, of the Brook Reporter, go a glimmering. All the ills from which this c ountry dow suffers is largely ate tributable to a system that has concentrated the wealth of the country in'o a few hands and which exempts wealth from a just share of taxation; and tb9 system was established ov republican legislation. The power of conoentrat ed wealth is now greater in this country than in any other land on earth. And yet the rank and file of the republican party worship McKinley, who is the chief ex* ponent "of taxing the many to enrich the few.
