OSCAR HAUTKR, of Marion. GUTHRIE MORRIS, of Carpenter. If Albert Bouk is elected auditor of Jasper county be will take personal charge of the office and give it bis undivided attention. Remember this. The fact that a man is a “good fellow’’ only, doseu’t qualify him to till the office of circuit judge. There are hundreds of “good fellows’’ in Jasper and Newton counties, but they are not fitted to sit on the circuit bench. The silence maintained by the Francesvillo Tribune and the Monon News in regard to their respective street fairs, is very significant—they don’t want to say anything bad and they can’t say anything good of them.— Medaryville Advertiser. Those who fail to grasp the meaning of the republican papers’ cartoon this week on the NewtonJasper political situation, should reverse the characters as represented and they will have it in a nutshell. The boys who aro Tuning the Jasper county republican mnehine are in a very poor position to charge any one elso with “hoggin jit all.’’ With $12,000 of tlio $15,000 county officer’s salaries—including, judicial ai dre presentative - going to citizens of Rensselaer, the less they say about “hogging” the better it is for them. A republican exchange—no doubt for the purpose of creating a little sympathy f. r Patrick O’potinell, the convicted jury briber and erstwhile republican stump speaker—says that Pat gave $ 10,000 toward the building of the m w Catholic church in Carroll county which was dedicated recently. The Carroll County Citizen, in its write-up of the dedication, says: “The church, when completed, will represent an outlay of 19,000.” Wo guess the republican editor roferred to must have lied on Pat about $9,990 worth.

Tax levies for county purposes in Jasper counties, which includes bridge, gravel road, county bond and other expenses: Jasper County sot?, cents Benton County SOK “ Newton County ~,..18K “ Pulaski County 80H " Porter County White County If you want to reduce Jasper’s levy so that it will compare favorably with that of our neighbors, sandwich a few democrats in on the county council. That cartoon in The Democrat last week sized up the republican situation in this county precisely —the Rensselaer machine proposes to hog all the offices. In proof of this we wish to call the attention of the republicans outside of Rensselaer to the fact that of those republicans now holding office or who have been nominated on the county or district ticket, the combined annual salaries of those who are residents of Rensselaer amounts in round numbers to $12,000. The combined salaries of the nominees outside of Rensselaer—treasurer, surveyor, commissioners and six members of the county council—amounts to only $3,145! How do you like it? Over in Newton county the republican county chairman chose Wm. Cummings of Kentland, for the republican member of the board of election commissioners. The county clerk ignored the chairman’s selection and arbitrarily selected the member himself. While it is possible the clerk is not bound to appoint the member selected by the different chairmen, it is always customary to do so, and the action in this case is unprecedented. Proceedings were brought to compel the clerk to recognize the republican chairman’s member, but were dismissed. Clerk Drake has but little following in Newton county, and is most cordially disliked by the members of his party, and his latest move is not likely to add any to his popularity.

Let’s see. There are 13 townships in Jasper county, 570 square miles, the largest county but one in Indiana. There are over 2,000 republican votes in the entire county —the 13 townships. On the present republican county and district ticket Marion township (Rensselaer), the home of the machine, has 6 of the 13 nominees—exclusive the county council, offices in which there is no big salary attached —the Judge, Reperesentati«e, Auditor, Clerk, Sheriff Rnd Coroner. Rensselaer also has republican county officers whose terms hold over as follows: Recorder, County Superintendent and Truant Officer. There is nothing small about the Rensselaer ring when it conies to hogging all the slop in the political trough. How do you like this, you outeide-of-Ren6selaer republicans? We are informed that “Honest Abe” is soliciting votes in Keenor township by promising that if re-elected again he will see that Keener gets the other four miles of the sixteen miles of gravel road she contracted for in 1897 and for which she has since been paying for. This sort of clap-trap should cut no figure with any voter in that or any other township in the county, rb it is pure buncomb. Abe and his cohorts paid out every dollar of the 131,800 raised to pay for the full 16 miles of this road, contrary to law, and nothing can now be done. Abe can’t build the balance of the road, for he is not financially responsible for a yard of gravel; the couuty cannot build it out of the county fuuds, for it is a matter in which the county has uothing whatever to do except to see to it, through its board of commissioners, that the money provided for its construction was paid out according to law and 20 per cent, belli back until the whole of the 16 miles was completed. This was not done ami nothing remains for the taxpayers of Keeuer but to charge the matter up to Abo ami, his colleagues on the board vu commissioners, who proved recreant to the trust reposed in them. This is all, and, no matter what promises are made to the contrary, they cannot and will not be fullfilled.
