Jasper Republican, Volume 1, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 October 1874 — Joint Discussion. [ARTICLE]

Joint Discussion.

William H. Calkins, Republican, and William S. Haymond Democratic, Candidates for Representative to Congress, will hold a joint discussion, on the political issues of the day, at the court-house in Rensselaer, October 9th, 1874. Everybody is invited to come and hear. A large attendance is anticipated. Mr. S. P. Thompson, Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney of the 30th Judicial Circuit, is a man extensively known an a thorough going, enterprising and energetic worker in whatever he undertakes. It would be hard to find a man whose qualifications for such office would be better. Should he conclude to take to himself a better-half the ladies would find his energy and perseverance irresistable. Tho Trustee of Keener will be glad to learn that the decision of that school-house location was made on the 6th of March last aud that the refusal within 3 months last of the Superintendent to decide it, and the direction of said Superintendent to said Trustee to put the money where it would do him the most good, or words to that effect and having a similar import, were only little jokes of the Superintendent. The Trustee ought, at once, to build that schoolhouse. We were much gratified to see on our table a few days ago the first number of the Rensselaer Republican. Jasper county is filled with live, earnest Republicans; but they have labored several years, under the disadvantage of having no party organ.— Now at last, this want is met; and we congratulate the Republicans of that county on the event. The Republican looks well, and the tone of its leading editorals shows that it will be an able and efficient aid to the Republicans in the present and future campaigns. We wish its enterprising proprietors the highest political and pecuniary sucre*?.—Laporte Chronic’^
