SALOON AND ANTI-SALOON.

The Great Battle In Jaaper County Is Now On.—Result In Doubt. I The great absorbing question f|pst now in Rensselaer and Carpenter and Union townships is the liquor remonstrances. Rensselaer has two applicants for license which come up for action before the county commissioners next Monday—those of August Rosenbaum and Henry Hildebrand; Remington has one—John W. Alkire; and Union tp., has one—lke Stephenson of Parr. Blanket remonstrances have been circulated against any and all applicants in these places and both sides: have been working hard this week —the anti-saloon people to get more names to their remonstrances and the saloon applicants to secure withdrawals. The withdrawals had to be filed with the auditor Thursday night, while the remonstrators had until 12 o’clock last night. Following is the result of the saloon men’s efforts in securing withdrawals: Bxnsselarb (Hildebrand).—3, John C.

Beck James Lucas There are certain requirements in the signing of remonstrances and withdrawals, and among these it is claimed a separate remonstrance must be filea by those having the power of attorney, against each individual applicant, and the original power of attorney must give the date it is signed by tbe remoustrator. The anti forces contend that same requirements must be observed in withdrawals. In the blanket withdrawals filed in Rensselaer the name of August Rosenbaum is no where mentioned, only Hildebrand’s name appearing, and this, it is contended, makes them only apply to latter. If so held, Rosenbaum will be defeated. One signature by mark to Hildebrand’s withdrawals is not witnessed, and this, it is claimed, will reduce his total withdrawals to 15. Several of these the temperance people expected to be able to get back on the remonstrance yesterday. In the Carpenter tp., withdrawals NONE ABE DATED, and this will probably throw them all out, while the temperance forces will get some of the withdrawals back, and have, it is understood, got many new signers since April, when they successfully remonstrated against one applicant.
