LONGWELL RENOMINATED AT JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

Newton bounty Republicans Also Nominate a Good Ticket at Con- — venHon Held at Morocco. Fred Longwell, of Brook, present prosecuting attorney, was renominated at the judicial convention for Jasper and Newton counties held Thursday at Morocco. There was, of course, no opposition to his renomination, for the people of the district are well satisfied with the manner in which he has conducted the office. Newton county republicans on the same date and at the same place nominated a county ticket and it seems to be a good one, from what we have been able to learn of it, and one that should be elected throughout. John Ade, of Kentland, was chairman of the convention. The ticket as nominated is as follows: Treasurer, E. S. Steel, of Kentland. Clerk, Fred G. Rlchmire, of Morocco. Recorder, Henry Burton, of Lake Village. Three men were placed before the convention for this nomination and Burton was nominated on the 6th ballot. Sheriff, Silas Swain, of Morocco. Mr. Swain is well known and very popular in Rensselaer #nd his friends here are pleased that he received the nomination. There were three men in the race, but Silas was nominated on the first ballot. Assessor, J. Z. Johnson, of Kentland. V Commissioner, Ist district, Young D. Deardurff, of Washington township. Coroner, “Bean” Lyons, of Brook. Frank Babcock, of Carpenter township, was the only Jasper county man at the judicial convention when the roll by townships was called and he was made the chairman of it. A little later Judge Hanley appeared with proxies from other delegates. Mr. Longwell made a speech that rang with true republicanism, and contained a prediction for party success. The Kentland Enterprise truthfully says: “Fred is making friends a: prosecutor and his renomination came to him as a vote of confidence.”
