~ The demoeratic county ticket is de--veloping such strength throughout tl:e ‘county that it is now deemed absolute= ly safe to vredict its certain and tri‘amphant election. - Jacos H.BnAvucK, the candidate for Representative, belongs to a ciass which is now everywhere asserting its rights, to wit: the laboring and industrial class. Formerly he was engaged in milling and farming, more recently in selling agricultural implements.— He:is a maa of sterling good sense; well informed on general topics, fairly educated, and theroughly conversant with the needs and wants of the. peopie. If elected, as lie surely will be, he will ever be found faithfal to the true interests of his constituency. WirLiAm 8, KISER, for Auditor, is a‘'young man. of excellent qualifications, good judgment, and unquestionable integrity. Familiar with the duties of the oflice, he will at once be able to manage its affairs understandingly and with due reference to the public interest. “Bill” is a native of the county, known to almost all of its citizens, and noted for his courteous manners and accommodating disposition. ' : Hea

GEORGE KEEHIN, nominee for Treasurer, is a-substantial farmer of Perry township. " Heisan industrious, hardworking man, possessed of good business 'qualifications, strict integrity, kind-hearted and generous, and in every sense of the word worthy of public eonfidence. In his hands the county funds will find a safe custodian. He is a ready accountant, careful in his transactions, and just the man for this impoftant office. ;

RICHARD WILLIAMS, our next Sheriff, is a Green' township farmer, a kind-hearted man, 4nd a “good fellow” generally. Ile served his country faithfully in the late war, and has already acquired great popularity among all classes who have formed his acquaintance. “Dick” is'morally certain of his election, and will, we venture to predict, ‘prove one of the most efficient and popular Sheriffs ever elected in Noble county. = . | JonN A.SINGREY, of Jefferson township, aspires to the office of county commissioner for the middle district. He is an old resident of the county, a farmer by occupation, and a man of excellent judgment. Under his administration the general interest of the county will ever be faithfully guarded. . ' ‘ : Of Joun P. McWILLIAMS, the presenf ' commissioner for the southern district, it is hardly necessary tospeak. He is soo well and favorably known throughout the county that his peculiar fitness for the office need not be get forth in public’print. Endowed with a good share of natural ability coupled with-a fair education, he lacks nothing of that which constitutes a first-class county commissioner.

AveusTus P. FRINK, of Kendallville, is a man thm everybody likes. He was a soldier during the late war, has had ap'extensive and varied business experience, and is a most estimable gentleman. = We_ are assured that he is a fair practical surveyor, and this being the case, our knowledge of the man is such as to, warrant us in gaying that he will prove a satisfactory and efficient officer. . B. F. MyEgs, of Orange township, candidate for Coroner, is a farmer, a “golid” Democrat, and a good citizen. He may be relied upon to do his duty.

“ALEXIB” says the Democrats alone feel unhappy over the .double candidacy of Nelson Prentiss. That's just where you are mistaken, Judge. There are scores of Republicans as well as Nationals who are unhappy over this unnatural alliance. These men feel that one or the other side is bound to be deceived in the not at all probable event of Mr. Prentiss’ election. Democrats on the other hand, feel supremely happy. = They know that Jake Shauck is morally certain of his triumphant election. G

“ALEXIS” says Nelson Prentiss is not pledged to anybody for U, 8. Senator. If this is true, somebody has been guilty of a little “fibbing.” The report has been current, and is said to be gusceptible of proof, that Mr. Prentiss did pledge himself to a certain course- before he was nominated by the Nationals. Dlersonally we know not whether such a pledge was exacted or given, but there are parties who pretend to know and are willing to

In ANsWER to the question, “Will the National Banks expire by limitation,” the Indianapolis Journal says: Each bank is incorporated ander the law for twenty years from the time of its organization, unless sooner discharged by voluntary act; or unless its franchise becomes forfeited by some viglation of law. Most of the existing banks were organized between 1865 and 1868, and their charters are, therefore, more than half expired.

The Democrats 61’ the Ancient Rock - Ribbed ' Home of Radicalism Send Greeting to the . Fathers of the *“‘Ohlo Idee.”” - The election in Maine last Monday resulted in a“‘great Democratic-Green-back victory. ' There were three tickets in the field—Republican, Democratic, and Greenback. The Democrats and Greenbackers had combined their forces in a majority of legislative districts and also on several candidates for Congress. The combined vote of the Democrats and Greenbackers, on . Governor, is about 5,000 greater than that of the Republicans, who have herétofore carried the State by majorities: varying from eight to twenty thousand. The Assembly, being anti-republican by eleven majority, will probably elect a democratic Governer. The constitution of Maine provides that in the event of no candidate receiving a majority of all the votes cast, it bécomes the duty of the House to send to the Senate the names of two of the candidates voted fqr; one of whom the Senate must elect Governor.

Words of ‘Truth from Bishep Coaaoinbsen, HeSays the People have been Wronged by Bad Finaneial Legislation. . [Bishop Simpson’s 'letter to the Christian Advoeate, August 29th.) 1 I believe the masses have cause of | complaint. I think, the government has not done its duty. While seeking l to conciliate foreign capitalists, who care nothing for our country, the interests of our people, who seek a safe investment for their earnings, have been neglected. Their savings have been lost-in banks, which, had they been placed in small bonds, would have been made a richer community and stronger friends for our government. As I believe our finaucial leaders, 1n overlooking the masses of our people, have committed terrible blund-. ers, and have -showed themselves incapable of directing aright the finances of a free people; Congress has spent in party contention the energies that ought to have teen employed in establishing postal sdvings bauks, or in issuing interconvertible bonds, ‘where the laborer could have placed his scanty means. Yet the remedy is not to. be found in violence, but in more light and in seeking for men for office, not so much for party affiliation as for their unquestioned honesty, and for their true sympathy with the masses of the people. ki

; “The Idea” in Vermont. B - (Cincinnati Enquirer.) ; The Third Congressional District of Vermont has hitherto been sure for from seven to eight thousand majority. At the recent election it fell considerably behind the old figures. The Republican candidate for Congress was defeated. Barlow, who bolted the Republican convention and accepted a nomination at the hands of the Greenbackers, has beaten the regular Republican nominee some 3,000 and lacks only a few votes having a majority over both Republican and Democratic candidates combined. As it requires a majority of all the votes cast to elect, it is predicted that Gengral‘l Barlow will succeed at the next rial. . i ;

E EmERpTeALRERe e e T Swan, in Swan téwnfi hip, on Friday who had the matter in charge, knew | how things ougbt to be done,and they had the energy and ability to carry i out. The ‘display and decorations : wfimffilaguificegxb; " There were flags, a 8 we have not seen since the memorable Fremont campaign in 1856. Beautiful little girls and boys were dressed: in white with blue scarfs, with white stars, juvenile singers singing those soul-stirring National ‘Greenback ‘songs, reminding a person of the Angelic choir spoken of in the seripture. The old, gray haired pioneers were there. The young men and maidens _were there. 'T'he mothers with their children were there. The voters of Swan township were there, all determined to lay aside old party prejudices and join with the Nationals and work for the good of their country. The Cherubusco Cornet Band discoursed most excellent musie. The cannon was continually booming, a sumptuous repast was spread for ‘he entire multitude. Speaking commenced at one o’clock, by Col. Wm. C. Williams, who was introduced by the president: of the day (Bsq. Drake) as the next Congressman from the 13th District. The Col. held the multitude for about an hour and a half with one of his most powerful efforts. Next came’ Judge Nelson Prentiss, our candidate for Representative, who took up what ‘the Col. had left. He defined his position on the political issues, showed how he came. to be indorsed by the Republicans. His speech and explana‘tion was perfectly satisfactory to all present. - At the close of the Judge’s speech, Gen. Blair was called and in a short speech fired the entiye assembly -with immense enthusiasm. The General made some telling hits to the soldiers. Rev. Hartsuck, of Kendailville, closed the speaking with & few wellchosen remarks, closing with an anecdote which convulsed the erowd with roars of laughter. Thus closed the exercises of the day. It was a time. long“to be remembered, and will be looked back to as the time when noble old Swan township was released from her yoke of bondage and asserted her God-given rights as a free people. _ We hear it asserted by Republicans almost every day th b.it is not the policy of the republica%fiarty to destroy the greenback; that they only propose. to make them as good as gold and then leave them in circulation. Please take the report of the Secretary of the Treasury for the year 1875 and look on page 20, and you will find where the Secretary (Gen. Bristow) uses this language: ald “The faith of the Government now stands pledged to resumption on and after January Ist, 1879, and to the final redemption and removal from the currency of the country of the legaltender mnotes as fast as they shall be presented for redemption, according to the act of Jan. 14, 1875.” :

This is the law as explained and set forth by the Secretary of the Treasury, the arguments of blatherskites to the contrary notwithstanding.’ ~ Judge Prentiss has ‘been adopted as the Republican candidate for Representative. He was placed there by the Central Committee in copaeq/x;:;l;e of Orlando Kimmell having refused to make the race. This was the forlorn hope of the republican party. Mr. Shauck, the Democratic candidate, is pledged to vote for Dan. W. Voorhees. Judge Prentiss is pledged to no one. The Nationals are perfectly satisfied with the Judge. They have no objections to our distressed Republicans supporting their candidate. The Judge will surely be elected by alarge majority, and the Democrats only are unhappy. The Republicans no doubt adopted Mr. Prentiss for the sole purpose of defeating Mr. Shauck. “Not that they loved Cewsar less, but that they loved Rome more.” 2

Is our bonded interest-bearing debt to be continually on the increase? How is Secretary Sherman accumulating coin to carry out resumption ? He is accumulating coin by selling 4 per cent. bonids. He hasnow about $140,000,000 in coin to redeem $346,000,000 of greenbacks, on and after J anuary 1, 1879. After the greenbacks are all redeemed, the law now requires that they shall again be paid out. Where is the coin to come from to redeem a second time? Is there anything to keep redeeming except by continuing to sell bonds and thereby continue to increase the public debt? Will some one please give us light on the subjeet? - Bl :

If'the Nationals had the power they would give immediate relief to the country. They would repeal the law, making the 5-20 bonds payablein coin, and pay them according to the original contract in greenbacks. They would thus stop the interest on $730,000,000 in bonds and give seven hundred and thirty millions more circulating medium to the country. They would repeal tha résumption act, and then commence calling in coin bondsand paying them off and putting coin in circulation. They would thus be eontinually decreasing their interest~ bearing debt, and putting money in. circulation to do business with. N ow is not this as plain as thenose on a man’s face? Voters, if you want to bring prosperity to the country and revive business, vote the National “Greenback ticket. . o - Those who oppose Greenbacks advoate barebacks.

‘Our candidates for the campalgn of 1880 are these: President, Gen. Benjamin F¥. Butler, of Massachusetts; Vice-President, Gen. Tom Ewing, of Ohio.

The rag baby is a miracle. Itisonly four years old, and is now a fullgrown maiden, fixing to commence housekeeping. The Democracy claims to be her first cousin, and the Republicans claim to be her parents.” She has had offers of marriage from both these parties, but she disdainfully refuses to marry her relatives. The Republicans of Noble county have begged the privilege ot helping toprovide for her, and in consequence thereof the Democracy is not very happy. Bt i - “Coming events cast their shadows before.” This is the last campaign in which Republicans and Democrats will meet each other as enemies. Two years hénce the financial issue will be the issue of the Nation. Hard money men will then occupy one side and (Greenback) soft money men the other. The hard money party will probably be called Republican-Democratic party, or vice versa, Democratic-Re-publican party, and the soft money party will be called as they now are, the National party or National Greenback Labor party. That this will be the case is now acknowledged by the leaders of parties. Acknowledging this to be the fact, is it not a good time now for voters in this country te commence cutting loose? Come out and take your stand with the Nationals! Let us send a large delegation of National Greenbackers to the next Congress, and that will give us a good start for 1880. :

Vermont, has spoken. She sends one National Greenback member to Congress. Now, keep your ear cocked. You will soon hear from Maine.

Hear ye! Hear ye!! The Nationals will hold the balance of power in the next Indiana Legislature, and the balance of power in the House of Representatives in the next Congress, and will elect the next President of the United States. - : , : Hon“ Orlando Kimmell made a strike when he refused to be the Republican candidate for Representative. We believe and have believed for some time that he is a Greenback man from principle. Then how could he conscientiously consent to make such a race, Moreover he may have remembered this little poem: e
