" TuoUGlil DEFEATED, Messrs. Kiser, smith.andSkinner,need not feel ashamed of the votes which ) they receive'd?n. the convention last Friday.

“HaxeMAN™ (Henry S.)' Foote, one of the most vindietive and virulent

insligators of the late rebellion, has come oul for Hayes and Wheeler, and as soun as the fact became known, the) Republicans of Tennessee nominated kim fof Presidential elector for the State at large. llis democratic-com-petitor is a tried Union man of East Tenudéssee. . U amE p Reossridd

g ol eaday - W—— e A ¥ THE, Elkixart Reviaw states that Judge Meyer, of Chicago, who spoke at Elkhart last Friday evening, said in course of lus speech that he “would cast his ballot for the Pevil and his grand-mother, if they were nominated ‘for President and Vice-President by the party, rather than the nominees on the republican side.f This, we readily admit, was putfing it needlessly strong; but when. we reflect that Judge Meyer has never, up tothe present period, voted anything bgt the republican ticket, some allorifn’.n:ng should be made for the intensity:of his' répugnance to further republican rule. Fo o TR

* THE REPUBLICANS of New York bave nominated ‘the millionaire, exGev. Edwin D. Morgan, for Governor. It is said that Gov. Hayes was very solicitous for! Morgan’s nomination. ian -explanation of this anxiety may be found in the fact that the republican committee have complained piteously over the scarcity of available funds:- thal direct appeals have been made to Gov. Ilayes to relieve this stringency; that Morgan’s only hope of success lies in a sweeping republican victory in Indiana and Ohio, and that e may therefore reasonably be called npon for-a liberal portion of his bar’is of money, )

- SOME DISSATISFACTION having been -expressed over the withdrawal bof H. ;(;. Zimmerman, Esq.,as a candidate for Joint Representative, at a time | whien he had a plurality of the votes ‘cast, and when a suflicient number of \additional votes|; were - voluntarily | pledged “to secure his nomination en | thie next ballot, we deem it our dutyto , ‘say in justice to that gentleman that | he was not, in the strict sense of ‘the word, a candidate. - He Had only ‘¢on- ’ sented to accept a nomination if tendered without contention. 1t ‘is well |known hereabouts that Judge Wood | and David Hough repeatedly express‘ed =z disinelination 'to become candidates for this office. In view of this fact, Mr. Zimmerman was finally pre- | vailed upon to consent £o the use of his name. It was viged Z‘kkr}ais behalf, j T AR BRI IR 1 very truthfully- and with great propriety, that e could render hifngelf [ very useful to the peoplg in' #"‘lﬁs}a, tive eapacity;' that he ‘possess ﬂle ' elements of a competent, discﬂg@iﬁi{g ' ing and judicious legislator—qualities - rarely embodied in the matetial usually sent down to Indignapolis to frame laws for the poople; “But when M s Mot | offiee not onlfy did 10t g 6 bégging, but, in point of fact had eager puﬁazg he IM ptly. withdrew his name shd -h,_*mtla:,' golden ;g;.;,’ This explanation o ‘.wft‘}:!ﬂp"f' fßßepny ”}",, B i S ey on -Mr. Zimmerman’s w& ous with lm rawal, -7 00T pwsbll 10 Nt | 4

The ticket nominated by the Noble County Democracy ‘on Eriday last, is, considered as a whol‘g&gjgﬁgtall'y ads. mitted to be one of strangth ahdavailabilify. - With prudent managenent, and a reasqnable degree of aetivity, it can be elected by fair majorities—thiough the countyjon a sfriet. party vote, is what migﬁ?a termed "rstmrf‘ close.” ook : ~Lhe unanimous re-nomination- ofMr. Wille, {0 Representative, serves as an indication that he has succeeded in meeting the just expectations of his constituents, and that théy deemed it worthy of another term as a legislator. Mr. Willett is an untiring worker, and, from present indications, ‘has about as sure a calling as anybody could desire. Ui S phr S

David Hough, who was ‘selected for. Joint Representative after his competitors had gracefaully and magnanimously yielded liim the field, is known ‘to almost every voter in the county, among whom he éifjoys a rare popularity. Though not skilled in the sci- | enceé of l;;xw-mal{;ing. Dave is possessed of Considerable practical knowledge: and general: information. Ile is an indefatigable worker, and will doubt-, ‘less ‘apply’ his whole ‘energy to the achievement of a compléte triumph. ‘For Clerk, the convention selected’ Samuel E. Alvord, who is equally well known ‘throughout the e¢ounty. 1 The great point urged in this géntleman’s favor is his acknowledged qualification for the oftice. The importance of< this matuer, it must be conceded, eanmot well be over-estimated. Avctorneys atd Titigants keenly appreciate the hecessity of a thoroughly. competent. custodian of the records of the Clerk’s office. "Recent ' legislation has added ldrgely to the financial | responsibility %if this. position; hence it is no longer 'a mere clerkship, it ‘sueh it ever has been, and it therefore devolves upon the people to exercise the utmost ('r‘are in selecting a he:fd sover its administration. Mr. Alvord’s, ‘earnest pledge to bring to ‘the performance of the duties of this responsible office. the fidelity, integrity- and industry which the public interest de‘mands, doubtless comes from the depth of his heart, and those who have known him longest and know him best are unreserved in-.their expressions of entire confidence -in the §ull redemption of his promise. . | “T'he re-nomination ef Sheriff Bagles was a foregone conclusion. lis official conduct has ‘been such as to meet the unqualified approi_'al of men of all parties. He is a rare specfmen of the true, faithful, impartial, honest official. Republicans vie with Democrats in attesting their. utmost satisfaction over his administration of the Sheriff’s office. . If the real sentiment of the republican’ party had been expressed§ at the 18th of August convention, wé have no doubt that Eagles. ‘would have found ‘as. warm supporters’in that convention as Recorder Baughman had in the convention of Friday. Mowever, republican voters will not be deterred fromi doing justice to a meritorious officer when depositing their ballots, -They will help to swell up Eagles’;majority anvwhere from 500 to an even 1,000. ; Richard L. Stone for Treasurer, iscertainly a. good selection. -He is a worthy and competent young' man ‘who served his country faithfully on the field of battle.. /He is a ready accountant, a.good business man, an affable gentleman. ~ His ‘popularity is co-extensive with his acquaintanceship. No pledges need be made in his-behalf; his career speaks for it'self: © e is honest, straight-forward, veliable, trustworthy; he is energetic, vigilant and diligent; he is worthy of public confidence.. - ' The endorsement of John. Baughman, the present Recorder and republican nominee for re-election, is a manifestation of unselfish sympathy and regard for the crippled soldier which “should forever put to shame the foul assertion that the Democracy as a. party has no love for the men who done battle for the Union. The éndorsement 0f Mr. Baughman, under -all the circumstances, is an act of gen‘erosity ‘and magnanimity that cannot well “be over-estimated. Tt ‘speaks volumes. LE s v e e . Excellent selections were made for County Commissioners, in<the persons ‘of Messrs. Samuel C. Fairbanks, Thos: Lyman and Jno. P. McWilliams. They are all wide-awake men, progressive and liberal in their views, and firm in the determination té ‘do what is right. 'We have faith to believe that all three will be elected, in which event the people may ‘rely upon safe and’ prudent guardians of the public interest. . ' : ped

We have no acquaintance with the nominee. for Surveyor, hence cannot speak of his qualifications: - * Our worthy townsman, Mr. Charles W. Stites, was selected for Coroner,— first, because he is in every respect a mostestimable gentleman, and, second, to oblige his republican competitor (the inimitable Phil. Carr), who longed, to-have a man pitted against him in whose triumph victor and conquered ‘would find equal cause for congratulation and rejoicing. = - {

ONE lIUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT ‘companies of United: States troops, ' numbering ‘7,ooo:men, rank and fle, are stationed throughout the Southern States, Exclusive of those guarding ‘the Texan frontier, and the few requiréd to garrison the forts, this army of occupation is ‘without oceupation save that imposed by Grant's late ukase which simply means the recapture of negro deserters from the radical party and the intimidation of white lectors. .

. Hayes claims to be a Reformer, and Tilden, we know, és a Reformer.~ We know that Tilden is a Reformer by his reabrd o Governor of New York.

or-two at-his record, and sce upon what kind of a foundation rests: hig. claims to the title of a Reformer.” ““During the Governorship of General Noyes, 'there grew up in'thie State a gigantic system of swindling,by means of which the expenses of the county officers amounted to about five times the sums expended by the Legislative, Judidial and Executive ‘departments combined. . Every class. of the community was affected by the greed of these county rings; the estates even of widows and orphans were made to yield them plunder, and in some ‘places. the Probate Judges were enabled to carry on a system of robbery 80 successfully, that in certain’cases their emoluments excceded in value the salavies of the Judges of the Sus preme Court. = Gov. Hayes succeeded Gen. Noyes for two terns; and during this' time naught was dohe'to corréct these abuses. oy g

Then came the term of Gov. Allén, and he immediately gave his attention to a rectification of the matter, and, after, considerable exertion, e managed .tosput, a stop te the wholesale fleecing of ‘tlre people. A law was ’lpassed: ~by which an annual Teduction of $285,000 was made in the amounts ito' be disbursed, as compensation to the county officers. Last year Hayes came again into oflice, and nnder Republican auspices, all the pressure possible] was brought to bear upon the Legislature, to induce it to grant a restoration of the privileges of which the county officials had been deprived l)y‘ Goy. }Ulen.‘ Their labors were rewau}ed:)vith success. . Although in the meantime, new officers had been elected, under the act fixing ‘the diminished remuneration, yet, the law which the Democratic Legislature had passed was repealed, and the new bill made retroactive in its operation,thus not only restoring",the a.buses, but nullifying the .relief which the people ‘had in the meantime experienced. After this Gov. Hayes wants us to regard him as a Reformer. .

. Crops and Hoppers. » A special from Lincoln, Neb., of the 20th inst., says: “ Grasshoppers have been here for several,days in countless millions. We have waited to note the effect of the visit before telegraphing you much about them. After careful examination of mueh territory, and careful inquiry as to much that we did not examine, we are prepared to say that the damage to corn did not amqant‘it‘o"i per cent. Some late varieties have been slightly damaged, but early corn is not damaged at all We selected specimens of .the worst damaged from twenty-eight cornfields, which show less than 5 per cent. This you may regard as reliable and unprejudiced. The ’hoppers appear to be laying eggs, and-are eating very little, conﬁning their ravages to the the leaves of trees, cabbages, tender sprouts, etc. The wheat crop in this section is immense, and the corn crop will be in keeping with it.”. Death of John C. Riechmond. - A postal card communication, under date of Aug. 28, conveys to us the sad intelligence t_hat'the funeral services of Mr. John C. Richmond, of Ottawa, Kansas, took place that day at Sheffield, Ohio, his remains having been laid beside those of his parents in the old family burying place. The deceased and his daughters were on their way to attend a re-union of the Richmond family, to take place on the 12th of September. Ie died of heart dis‘ease, at the residenee of his brother, C. Richmond, in Geneya, Ohio. =M. Richmond was a brother of our venerable townsman, E. Richmond, Esq., ‘was one of our “earliest set)tlers, and for a number of years a prominent citizen of this town. Our eitizens will, therefore, be pained to heariof his sxidden death.’

Col. Wm. C. Williams, of Albion, at this stage of the proceedings, presented and read to the convention the following resolutions: relative to the approaching election of the judicial officer for this (the 35th) Judicial Circuit:

WiHEREAS, It is a well settled: conviction with a large portion of th people of this country, that the emﬁ_ of Justice can be largely promoted by

the separation of the Judiciary from partisan influences and political :machinations, and-that that desirable object can best be obtained by relieving Judicial Officers of any and all obligations to managers of political erganizations, and " WHEREAS, The Democracy of this circuit on the 14th day of Augnust,lB72, through its . representatives declared that “It is believed by this committee that the office of Judge should be kept free from politics and political influences,;and all candidates for judicial positions should abstain from political and partisan controversies.”, "And. - WHEREAS, The said representatives of the Democracy unanimously resolved to abstain from placing in nomination a candidate for Circuit Judge against the Hon. James I, Best, and 7 WHEREAS, 1t appears to be generally understood that the Hon., Hiram 8. Tousley is an independent, non-parti-san candidate for Judge for' the 35th District ; therefore, o Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention, the Democtacy of the 35th Circuit ought not fo make a nomina-

tion for Judge, but that we recommend to the support of all the people of this circuit the Hon. Hiram S. Tousley, as a gentleman peculiarly qualified to fill the position of Circult Judge. * Lb e e Resolved, That John B. Stoll, David Hough, Charles G. Aichele, Samuel E. Alvord, Henry Wakeman, and Henry C. Stanley be appointed conferees to present these resolutions to the Democratic. Judicial Convention which may be called hereafter, and that they be and are hereby instructed. to use all honorable efforts to procure the concurrence of DeKalb and .Steuben counties in the same. v

Gen. Farnsworth sends a New York' Defamer e A Tiiden to Brasel L 02 i : §4 4 : ,i<~'v?t'<‘ * WARSAW, Tnd., Aug. 98.=~0ne of tiie" largest political meetings ever held in northern Indiana took place here this evening, both Republicans and Democrats having a meeting on the same nights; When it was known: that the meetings would occur at the same time, the Democrats! enqaged.. every band in town, leaving the Republicans without any, but they, not to be lefy behind. went to Fort Wayne .and brought their dtum corps, which made as much noise- ag all the bands. . The crowd (was simply immense. The, joint discussion between Farnsworth, of Ilinois, and Tenny, of . New York, did not commence ; until 10 o’clock, and was kept up until after 12. The lateness of the hour was owing-to the excursion train of fifteen cars ifrom Wabash and seven cars from ;Goshen not arriving until 9:30. The arrangements were npt commenced until this afternoon, and everything was. got up in doublequi¢k time. .Both processions were very large and met at the court house yard,, wheré the speaking took place. The scene here beggars description. Not one-tenth ot the crowd could get near enpugh to hear .the voices of the speakers. . Farns~worth’s speech . was'devoted to the shortcomings of ‘the republican party, } and fully .proved why, Tilden should be the, next President; that if such would be thesresult reform .in every department. would take place; that business, which now . lies prostrate, - would again revive; in short, that the same results; which had shown them- ' selves under his adninistration as ' governor, of New York would be felt ' all over the United States. . Tenny's address was of the bloody. shirt order, bringing up the bld scene of the rebellion;- attacking Tilden’s ' record, and endeavoring to show wherein he was corrupt, but which resulted jin a failure.- Although Kosciusko is intensely Republican, the meeting tonight made many votes for Tilden and .reform. If such-meetings and joint discussions were held all over the land, theF‘,inﬂuence would be surprismng.: . .. S i o
