NOTICE. All members of the Jasper Co. Democratic Central Committee and also the members of the Ex. eentive Committee, are requested to meet at Democratic headquarters, Rensselaer. Ind., Saturday, July 9, at 1:30 p. m. U. M. Baughman, Ch’m. N. L Littlefield, Sec’y. The republicans of the Benton and Newton district have nominated A. B. McAdams, of Benton county, for representative, defeating Z. F. Little, of Goodland, who was an aspirant for the place. Senator Fairbanks in 1872 was a poor hoy, just starting out in life. Since that time, as a corporation lawyer, he has accumulated a fortune estimated at $5,000,000. Can a lawyer honorably accumulate such a vast fortune in thirty years? The Democratic national convention meets in St. Louis next week. It promises to be one of the most interesting and largely attended conventions the party has ever held. There will be no apathy there, such as characterized the ratification meeting of our friends, the enemy, at Chicago last week. Jesse Wilson has been treating his hands to alcohol baths, bay rum, glycerine, etc,, this week. The assistant sergeants-at-arms at the republican national convention last week, of which Jesse was one, were required to clap their hands loudly every time Teddy’s name was mentioned by any of the speakers, and it was rather severe on the soft hands of the ■city chaps. The Plymouth Independent takes a shy at the new district chairman with the following: "A. K. Sills of Monticello, has been selected chairman of the republican Tenth district committee to succeed Thomas J. McCoy, of Rensselaer, the bank defaulter. Not much of an improvement. Only a couple of years ago the Chicago papers contained several columns about Sills as a defaulter in honor and decency. The Tenth district republicans seem to think that anything goes.” Our republican friends would have the public believe that there is no politics in the McCoy bank failure, yet it is unfortunate that so many of the notes and overdrafts that are reported absolutely worthless in tin* report of the appraisero, which report is made under oath, are by republican office-holders and politicians. And one of these appraisers is a prominent republican who has held office in Rensselaer as deputy assessor and was a recent candidate for the nomination for township trustee, too. , It is too tedious to mention all the republican office-holders and politicians who owe the notes and over-drafts reported worthless in the appraisers’ reports, but we want to call the attention of the people who lost their hard-earned
