“The Democratic Sentinel styles the Wording of the call for the Democratic Gounty Con ention “a confession of weakness —an agonizing cry for help.”-Rensselaer Journal. So far as the call of the demo cratic county chairman ie concerned it is net so important “a con*, session of weakness” as that or, dered by the republican state com*, mittee and issued by tbe chairman thereof. The ol ject of the OUR* ty chairman, in bis call, was to af*» ford an opportunity for a number of Ms populistic a< visers and dn taiors to continue ito that relation with him- there was no cemocrat* ic committee, unless the rsply of out young friend, Art Nowels. sup* posed to be secretary, is correct, when he responded to ui query “who comprise the county d mocratic committee?”.. Dave Sheilds. The demo iatic party of Jasper county is not responsible for the phraseology of the call issued by Shields, who has no knowledge of the honest fighting strength of tbe the party upon which to base his fears?

On the other hand the phraseology of the ca l for the republican state convention was outlined by tne republican committee, and on its order issued ty the chairman tliereof It is fair to presume that the republican sta'e committee is fully conversant with the condition of the party within the state, which gives the wording of the call the great significance that must attach to it. The Wallace Shows nave the finest horses of any show on earth... At > ensselaer, Wednesday, August 3d. “Show your appreciation of our efforts to issue a good democratic paper, aDd ono that you need not be ashamed of, by subscribing for it... Jasper Countv Democrat. • You will have'to exercise great patience, neighbor. You see our people have read just such items as the above on several former occasions, and feel it a bou* den duty to orofit bv past experience. They soon discovered the writers capable of as great ‘‘efforts to issue a good re üblican paper, and one that you need not be ashamed of,’* or “a good populist paper, and ono that you need not be ashamed of,” and have no use for men of such versatile accomplishments. Then there are others who, like oui old friend, Syl. Omeara, say they paid their dollar, but the d. .cl paper went a glimmering. Be patient, neighbor. Everv exchange we uave seen remarks on the tact that tbs Wallace Shows is the one show that really exhibits everything that it advertises. At Rensselaer, Wednesday, August 3d. Henry Eiglesbacb had the first joint of the index finger of bis left hand taken off by the gearing of a windmill.
