TOWNSHIP CONVENTIONS.

Notice is hereby given to the Democratic voters of Milroy township. Jasper county, Indiana, to meet at tbe regular place in said township for holding conventions, on SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1802, for the purpose of n< mlnating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election; said ticket will consist of three candidates for members of Township Advisory Board, two Road Supervisors, two Justices of the Peace and two Constables. W. T. Smith. Chairman.

“Harbor” Knotts is the republican candidate for mayor of Hammond. *

‘The republican state convention will be held at Indianapolis next Wednesday and Thursday.

Chairman Sammons of Newton county, and Chairman Honan of Jasper, have agreed to hold the judicial convention at Brook, May 15.

District Chairman Simms of Lafayette, held a conference with the various county chairmen of the district here last Saturday and it was decided to hold the congressional convention at Monticello, on the f-aine day of the White county democratic convention, the date for which has not yet been set.

It is said that the state republican chairman endeavored to persuade the Jasper county politicians to change their method of selecting judicial delegates, but they refused. Chairman Goodrich says the choosing of delegates in an irregular way has caused tha republicans of the state a world of trouble. Goodhind Herald.

Press dispatches state that upon the trial of Maj. Waller of the marine corps, testimony was given by Waller, corroborated by other witnesses, that Gen. Jacob H. Smith instructed him to kill and burn; that the more he killed and burned the better pleased GenSmith would be; that it was no time to take prisoners, and that when Maj. Waller asked Gen. Smith to define the age limit for killing, he replied: “Everything over ten.” And this is the sort of “war” carried on in the Philip pines.

The Michigan City prison whitewashing investigation brought out the fact that there are twenty-sev-en insane convicts in the penitentiary at this time. Commenting on this the Indianapolis Sentinel says: “Twenty-seven insane convicts in the Indiana prison! Twen-ty-seven men, mind you, who have become insane since they were

put in that institution. They were not insane when they went there. That does not speak very loudly for the humane and sanitary treatment they have received. As a matter of course criminals ought to be punished, but is it really the proper thing to drive them mad?”

The , Jasper county politicians played a great joke on John D. Sink last Thursday. They went through the form of nominating Mr. Sink, giving him 12.2 votes. If the convention were a legal one it required thirty-eight delegates present, and nineteen and a fraction of a vote to nominate. They purposely failed to give Mr. Sink the required number and he is no more the nominee of the alleged convention than Mr. Graves. We see but little harm in the omission, however, as the nominee of that convention will not receive any consideration.

Recent disclosures in the Philippines Committee of the Senate have been a grave source of apprehension to the administration. Reports of tyrannical and brutal methods of dealing with the natives are multiplying and, as a logical sequence to republican imperialism, there comes by cable the news of the arrest of two Manila editors for lese majeste. According to the report of Major Gardiner, civil governor of Tabayas, those Filipinos who were once friendly to this country have grown to hate it because of the despotic treatment afforded them by the American soldiers and, in the view of the governor, continued military occupation will result in leaving this country without a friend in the islands, with the exception of those who have been appointed to government officers at munificient salaries.

Blue’s latest effusion reminds us something of the write-up he gave the pupils of a certain school he once taught over in Newton tp., in the register of the school, which, we believe, is kept for the purpose of the teacher making a report for his successor, giving tbe name, year’s work, general character, etc., of each pupil. This “write-up’’ was deliberately cut from the register during the early part of the campaign two years ago, it is alleged by an accomodating county official who thought it might not do the author any good in his career of a professional candidate for office. But he probably is not aware to this day that the matter contained therein had been copied and is still in existence. Not one profane word escaped our lips during Blue’s “visit” at The Democrat sanctum—the truth of which statement all the other occupants of the office will bear witness. Evidently he mistook the roaring in his head for the oaths he alleges were uttered.

THOSE NORTH END “DELEGATES.”

Goodland Herald: As the only representative of Goodland and Grant township, we witnessed the preliminaries of the so-called “judicial convention” held by Jasper county at Brook Thursday. Not an authorized delegate from Newton county took any part in the affair. The few outside of Jasper county who were present contented themselves with standing on the curbstone and watching the antics of the “one lone county.” Although it was reported that Beaver township had sent a delegate just before Jhe “convention” a score of hnsky republicans arrived from Morocco with the records of the mass meeting held there last Saturday to show that the proposition to send a delegate to the convention had been voted down, and that the alleged representative was a rank fraud. It didn’t require very keen observation to note that the Jasper county machine was not speeding along as merrily as an automobile, as .the Newton county material to reason with was conspicious by its absence. We left the quiet and uninteresting scene before the “assembling of the hosts.” Of course Hanley was named for judge, and John D. Sink wns named for prosecutor after the votes had been divided up in such minute fractions as to make the other aspirants believe they wore in it.

From the Brook Reporter: The judgeship case being settled, the ‘smooth’Jasperites called “upon Newton county to select the prosecutor candidate ” John D. Sink of Rose Lawn and R. O. Graves of Morocco were placed in nomination by their “self selected” delegates, and on a ballot Sink received 12 and 3-10 votes from Jasper and 1 and 8-10 from Newton, Graves rdceived 11 and 8-10 votes

from Nowton, and Sink was declared the nominee of the convention, and in a speech of acceptance said he would “pledge himself to honestly and faithfully perform ‘his duties.” So ended the “machine” convention, a disgrace tp the Republican party of Newton and Jasper counties. The candidates nominated at this convention are not entitled to the least support from Newton county republicans, and mighty little they will get. True, several delegates from the north end were in attendance, but with no authority from the county central committee or their townships, and as a consequence they will not be recognized as delegates by the Republicans of this county. The candidate for prosecutor, after fair warning from the county chairman, has seen fit to cast his lot with the Jasper county ‘ring’ and he should be beaten at the polls. Jasper county politicians may control a convention by unfair means, but they will realize next November that they connot control the honest Republican vote of Newton county by such means.

From the Kentland Enterprise: The Jasper county papers assert that four townships were represented in the convention. This they well know to be false in every particular. It is a too patent fact not a single legally elected delegate in the county attended the rump convention. Several persons were there claiming to represent the townships in question but no caucus selected them, except possibly in Lincoln, and in three of the townships the proposition to elect delegates was voted down by the people. Yet several gentleman attended and of course were seated by the Jasper county crowd. That convention would have seated anybody from anywhere. When it comes to stealing nominations and ignoring the rights of the people, the Jasper county machine is in its element, and a few more or less acts of larceny make no difference. It is useless for the Jasper county papers to longer attempt to distort the truth with reference to this county. Newton county protested in time, and in a dignified manner, against the illegal attempt of Jasper county to disfranchise the voters of this county. Every act of this county was marked byregularity. All protests were set aside, all remonstrances unheeded, all counsel rejected. Mr. Hanley intimated it was a matter of indifference to him whether this county affiliated or not. The result of these high-handed proceedings has been to anger the voters of this county beyond control. They will not accept Mr. Hanley or his stolen and illegal nomination. He cannot come into this county, made up of intelligent voters, and cram a stolen nomination down their throats.

We tried everything-we heard of without getting relief. We then called in our family doctor who prescribed Foley’s Honey and Tar.

COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council met in regular session Monday evening. Philip Blue asked permission to tap the Ruston street sewer. Referred to street committee. The light and water committee was instructed to make a contract with A. Wood worth for water for street sprinkling purposes at the old rate. An ordinance was adopted directing the clerk to prepare at once a duplicate showing all assessments for street purposes and to turn same over to the city treasurer for collection. Heretofore these taxes have been col lected by the county treasurer and this step is taken to avoid the cost of collection. The matter of giving smokeless coal a test at the city plant was referred to the light committee $750 was ordered transferred from the corporation to road fund. An order was made that the warrant issued to T. J. Saylor & Co. for street improvements, and not paid for want of funds, be cancelled and that new orders be issued to take its place as follows: One order for $2,000, one for $332.47; and two for $330 each, all bearing 6 per cent interest from date of protest Judges and inspectors f r the city election were appointed as follows: First ward—lnspectors, C.
