WAS IT A TRICK? HOW JJNO. D, BLACK’S NAME <OT ON TH I')V.V\MERN‘.-\\' TICKET. Explanatory Card KFrem K. R. Hill. It has gone out and is understood by a portion of the citizens of Noble county—and properly too—that I have withdrawn my name as candidate for Treasurér in favor of John D. Black, the nominee of the republican party for the same office, and it is due to me, as well as to my friends, that the circumstances of my withdrawal shotrld be fully understood. They afg as Tollows: . i

1 had, previous to the republican county convent}iqn, inquired of Mr. ‘Black’s friends as to whether he belonged to any seéeret organization, and I was assured that he did not; and on the day of the eonvention, after Mr. Black’s nomination, T approaehed Mr. B. and Mr. Saltzgiver, where they were talking together, and congratulated him on his nomination, and I assured him the nomination met with my hearty approval; and that as I had understopd by his friends that he did ‘not belong to any secret organization, [ should withdraw my name in his Tavor. Mr. S, said he had been talking with Mr. B. on that subject, and assured 160 he was all right on that question. Mz, Black silently gave assent -to Mr. B's assurancé and said it would favor him very much if I would do so. I have sinece learned ‘that Mr. B. belongs to the Odd Fellows, and'l feel deeply the imposition he has practiced upon me, and that, too, when T was willing to forego the expressed wishes of my friends to favor him. I shall, therefore, allow myname to stand with the nominees of the American party, and labor for its sueeess, and leave the voters of Noble county to express their approval or disapproval of Mr. Black’s duplicity, at'the coming election.

Burglary in Lagrange Counity. On Thursday evening of last week, about dusk, a burglary was perpetrated in the house of Dr. Chrisman, in' Eden ,‘fif)wnship, I iugr'zmgé county. The Doctor and his family were spending the evening at his father’s (Mr. J. S. Chrisman’s), about a quarter of a mile from home, and upon returning discovered that the residence had been entered by some unknown person. A pair of pants and suspenders belonging to Mr. Chrisman, and a hat and pair of boots belonging to his boy, were .missing. In addition to the articles of clothing, the thief had also deliberately helped himself to such edibles as he could find in the family cupboard and then absconded with his ill-gotten gain. A little shower of rain having fallen in the evening, the next morning Mr. C. and Isaac Decker tracked the burglar to Middlebury Station, where he ivas seen, with the stolen property, pursuing a northerly direction. It issupposed that he went into Michigan and here the pursuers gave up ‘the chase. This is only one of the numerous deadbeats and lazy tramps whoe are constantly prowling about the country, determined not to work, and elaiming that the world oweés them a living. Several suspicious-looking persons have been seen in this place within the last week and we would ecaution our citizens fo bar their doors and keep their guns loaded. ~ Any honest man can look you in the face and tell a straight story, and the man who is willing to work can always find some kind of employment at living wages. There is no excuse for vagrancy.

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. T L RoNEOITY. o Mr. F. W. Shinke, John Shinke and Messrs, Casey & Harman, all of ‘Ligonier, paid our town a very pleasant visit last Sunday. After taking a small sail on the lake and visiting the mineral springs, they departed with the promise of making our city a more extended visit in the future.

_The would-be Hon, George Harvey, anti-masonic American candidate for Representative, attempted to make a speech here one evening last week. Failing in getting a hearing at the church, he procured ‘a]amp'an_d harrél and located on the sidewalk, where his hearers consisted, we believe, of four persons and one dog. .Ie commenced at a school-house somewhere down i Ohio and then scattered over the entire continent. In a short time the speech became so thin that the speaker himself became disgusted with it and madé the remark that the people of Rome City did not wish to heax him, and then he squatted, a “dead cock in the pit.” | 'We are of opinion that this genile‘mdn is not a success as a speech-maker and for the present had better not go to the Legislature. There was quite a crowd in town last Friday ‘as witnesses and parties to a perjury suit from Kendallville. The prosecutors failed to come to time and the suit proved to be an abortion. Messrs. \V'ade,‘ Wildiman, and Mains, legal gentlemen from a distance, were in attendance. . o L

That cahn, sedate and ll(::l‘l'}' ho;ided geut]x(’mzm, Joe Cox, who lis now a candidate for County Clerk, paid our town a political visit on Thursday of last weck. Joseph, now being a candidate, feels a little ehagrined at having his past record put in question, “wherein heis accused of h;ivingboltéd his party: nominations in times past and stuck to his own town in preference to his party. It is said to have occurred at the time when the ballots as well as the poll-books were numbered, and the records show ‘Joseph to have been true to Kendallyille. =As for ourself, we do n’t believe s]o'o done it, for he says he did n’t. Again comes in the old adage, “Chickens will come home to roost.” - o Hon. John R. Baker addressed a small, but very respectable, audience at the Baptist church on Thursday of last week. Mr. B. did not branch out _muc}i nor take many lofty flights of eloguence. He touched lightly upon the finances, Freeman Kelley, ete., and then left the matter with the ‘intelligencee of the people. Ife claims 1,500 majority in the district. e We learn that, last Sunday night, while Unecle Johy' Gibson’s daughter lay dying andthe friends and relatives were watching at her bedside to hid her a last and final farewell, some low, unprinci!pled scalawags and thieves entered wpon his premises and stole his grapes. We have always dispuied the doctrine ef total depravity, but it would not take many instances of this kind to-force us to give it up. James Gibson and Win. Lauer, of the Hawpateh, were in town on Monday, 10'()king' after and . nfaking arrangements for the ftuneral (1(' Mr. John Gibson’s daughter, which took place on Tuesday. ! The cash receipts of 11. G. Cobbs in his store last Saturday amounted to ‘one hundred and seventy-five dollars. "Mr. €. is kept so busy that he has as vet been unable to prepare an advertisement for the BANNER. Rome City feels proud of the fact that they have at Teast one live business man. Little George Asher, of the log Back, was in town last Sunday. e is a great favorite in Rome City and lqomes in often to see the folks and take a tide on the lake. : Work has commenced on the new depot. Several hands are busily engaged and will doubtless soon complete that structure. . - Next Tuesday is Election Day, and some of the candidates now - imagine they can see the “hand-writing upon the wall.” ' :

The rumor of a change in the firm of the Magnet Woolen Mills seems to have been stated without much foundation in truth. Tf such a thing is to be, it is perhaps as yet at some distance in the future. =~ It is said that there is to be a candidate sprung on the morning of the election, and that there is a secret plan laid to defeat I. N. Berry for trustee of this township. We scarcely credit the report, but it is well for the friends of Newt. to be on the look-out and try to prevent it, shemld such an effort be made. 'This is no party mg{t# ter, and cannot be so considered. That dread disease, typhoid fever, is. heard of in several families in our vicinity. - Cleanliness, ventilation and good nursing should be carefully looked after in such cases. ; : Frall fishing is now commeéncing and many persons seem to be taking advantage, of it. ' ALEXIS{)‘.’ : ) KENDALLVILLE. o Business of a pressing and unavoid-: able character prevented me from making my appearance in last week’s BANNER. o Y ae The political eampaign has so far been of a very quiet nature. No particle of excitement.in this locality, and what the result of the election will be on next Tuesday, nooné can tell. I give it as my ._opinion,ghowever, that the Democratic-Liberal ticket, without exception, will show a handsome majority at this place, and ifa‘,i&tfie‘(’good peodple of Noble county woulil only lay aside all prejudice in regard to candidates on our county ticket, by comparison they will find that our men compare fayorably with the other two tickets placed in nomination. o 4

While T am talking of laying aside prejudice, I must mention the issuing and scattering all over the county of a circular by (what they style themselves) the American party. Well, if there isn’t prejudice for you then I give up. Thecircular in question ~ver; ifies the adage that it is only one step from: the sublime to the ridiculous. T really do not know whether the party who wrote the circular ought to be pitied or laughed at for dissem’inatifig

If anything were needed to satisfy myself what kind of a fellow Sam of the Albion New Era is, the little hit atmed at me in last week’s Hra, in an article headed *‘Dishonorable Warfare, fully supplies that deficiency. While I am not going to waste any words in defending myself froiii his insinuations; I will say to him that whenever I make a public statement I mean just what I say and 'nothing else. lam fully able and have independence of mind enough to verify tllis,f;and whenever the time comes when I shall be incapable of putting the proper construction on what I say, then and not until then will T permit Sam Alvord to;vln}isreprese_nt' and misconstrue my writings. : I read with considerable satisfaction a letter written by a French finaricier, Dr. Ernest Frignet, to Senator Sherman, of Ohio, on specie resumption. The letter is published in last Saturday’s Chicago Z'rébune, and will certainly attract considerable attention. The plan proposed by Mr. Frignet, it is claimed, might be adopted at once without any disaster happening to the commerciztl interests .of the country. Tilis is‘what I have all along claimed can be done; but the politicians have scared the people so badly that they are almost as much afraid of the time when specie payment is to be resumed as they are of judgment day. : . : VINDEX. : Cose A VILE A, I

It now becomes my painful duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. Robert S. Haines. Not since the death of Judge Edwin Randall has the community been so startled as when the report became circulated that Mrs. Haines had departed from this troublesome earth into a better world. laving for nearly three weeks been confined to the sick bed, stricken down with fever, Mrs. Haines gradually failed and it was beyond the power of Lumanity to restore her. :"I)r. 5. Walliams, of Kendallville, daily visited the unfoxtunate woman and did everything in his power to restore her to health, but without avail. - He who gave the life took it also. Mrs, Haines died on Wednesday morning, ‘at ten o’elock, and her remains were interred in the Lutheran cemetery,followed by a large concourse of velations and friends. Iler age was 35 years, 3 months and 15 days, and she leaves a true, loving husband, stricken down with grief and anguish, and three chiidren to ‘mourn - her sad deparfure. The numerous friends of My, ITaines deeply sympathize with him in these his hours of afitiction, and can only asgure him that this world canhot exist without its joys and its sorrows.. They will strive to aid and comfort him in his great. afiliction, even though his dearest-companion hass heen wrested fpom By ¥y SEaidid

The largest and most enthusiastic meecting that ever assembled for the purpose of putting in no;l'nin:ltion a tmvnship ticket, to be voted for at the approaching election, ' took place at the school-house in this village last Saturday evening. Nobody could tell or seemed to know who had called the 'mooting: and nobody.seemed to know anything about a meeting to take place. | The citizens, irrespective of party, conversing among- themselves in t}ie stores and upon the streets, proposed | to progeed to the school-house, where Mr. 8. K. Randall called the.meeting to order and propoesed the name of Mr. Sol. Baum as chairman, who. was uanimously elected to that position. Mr. Baum stated.to the audience that the object of this meeting wasg for the purpose of putting a ticket for the township offices in the field, and as this was not a party meeting, called it an independent meeting, where everybody had a right to express his feelings and was entitled to a vote, providing he was a .legal voter of the township. The names of Mr. Thomas Stahl, R. §. Haines and S. P. Stewart were announced for Trustee. The friends of Mr. Haines withdrew-his name as he did not desire® the nomination. . A Dballot was taken and resulted in the almost unanimous selectign of Mxy. Stahl, and upon motion he was declared the unanimous nominee’ of the meeting. The following is the complete ticket placed in nomination by the independent meeting for the nomination of candidates for the several offices tohefilled in Allen township: Fonj Trustee, Thomas Stahl; Justices of the Peace, Lake Ihrie, Ephraim Meyers; Constables, Weir D. Carver, John Watson. The meeting} was very harmonious, and everybody. present seemed imbued with the idea that the time had artived when independert~action i “polittcal - matters | becomes a political necessity. After the nominations were made Mr. P, A. Randall addressed the meeting tpon | the issues of the day, dwelling more o o e R | cated as the only resort when politi-| cians and office-seekers present the people with the wrong men.. M. Randall’s remarks were received with applause, after which the meeting adjourned. | L

Candidates for the various county offices are getting quite numerous in this locality, and all are trying to fix matters up wheré they 'are unfixed, It is very strange, however, that every one’s chances are flatteringly®good.
