John H. Baker to discuss the issues of the day in joint debate. :

As THE BANNER is debarred from saying anything in behalf of the democratic nominee for Congress in this District, the transfer to its columns of a few extraets from other papers will, we opine, not ke deemed out of place.

THE DEMOCRATIC Judicial Conven- + tion for the 33d Judicial Circuit was - held at Pierceton on last Thursday. . Hon. E. V: Long, of Warsaw, was re- - nominated for Judge,and J. W. Adair, - Esq, of Columbia City, for Circuit Prosecutor, The republican nominees - for these positions dre Hiram S. Biggs, - of Warsaw, and Michael Bickafoos, of Columbia City. It is genérally believ--ed that Long and Adair will be elect*ed by round majorities, = .

< JOIN SHERMAN, Secretaty of the { Treasury, boasts of havipg a large amount of coin on hs*nd for resumption purposes. Ile has far .less than he pretends; but the tax-payers of the country know that every ' gold dollar he has hoatrded for the purpose of executing his resumption scheme means - a dollar added to the interest-bearing

debt of the country. The more coin he has hoarded for this purpose, the » greater injury he has inflicted on the *‘equntry. ; e '

+ It is the Cincinnati Enguirer that propounds. this neat little quesg’t;ion: “If the National Banks, with the cooperation of the Treasury officers, are able to create apanic and scale the value of a silver dollar (420 grains) down to ninety cents, what can they not do with their own National Bank currency ? Wouldn’t' they be._able, some fine morning, to get up a stampede on their own currency and compromise their debts at fifty cents on ghe'dollar? The legal-tender dollar isn’t liable;to such fluctuations.”

FRIGHTENED by the popular indignation created by the “clipping” of the trade dollar, the Indianapolis Journal is constrained to say: “The remedy for the trade dollar depreciation is for Congress to make it a legal-tender, and make all other silver dollars containing an amount ot silver equal to or greater than thie new dollar a legaltender, and while they af about it they might provide for doubling the coinage of silver. There is no ground for apprehending that we will have too many silver dollars for some fime to come, provided they are made a legal tender. It is difficult to reconcile the trade dollar depreciation with honesty and fair dealing, and if, as suspected, it is a movement against silver, the men engaged in the movement will get the worst of it.” . :

Toe Cincinnati. Enguérer aptly remarks that “there are people who insist that the giving of a full legal tender quality toaspecigs/of currency ‘gives it no additional \@;ue. These .men are blind to the teachings of the past, but they cannot be insensible 1o “the teachings of the present. The old silver. dollar is a'legal tender, and it ‘is current throughout the country at one hundred cents in the best money in the world. The trade dellar, which confains four hundred and twenty grains of standard silver, seven and ahalf grains more than are put in the old dollar, is 4t & discount of from b to 10 per cent. The “rag baby” dollar, in the mean time, which is-not a full legal tender, is along way in advance of the silver trade dollar, a “*yalue” dollar, which is more “valuable” -than the legal tender silver dol--Ilar, Thestamp of the Governmentand the legal tender q\u_sli}tﬁy appear to. amount to something.”| 8 © Just Like John Baker.

. THE MEETING AT ALBION. 1 ~ The meeting ut Albion, on Tuesday last, was in every sense of the word a success. The attendatice Was much larger than tlie most sanguine had hoped it t 0 be. Gov. Wilhams was introduced to the audience by James M. Denny; who spoke in fitting terms of she honesty and capability of our worthy farmer Governor. The latter's speech was mainly devoted to an exposition of the republican gerrymandering process -by which thousands of democratic voters are practically disfranchised iu the glection of ‘members of Congress and thie Legislature. His points were well made, and l left a most favorable impression upon his audience. i i

The speech of Judge Gooding was a crushing indictment qf the republican policy of finance.’ He depicted, in his own matchless style, the misery and distress produced by pernicious legislation, and clearly demonstrated that a change for the better can only be hoped for by thrusting from power the party which had wrought the mischief. His speech was one of gregt power, full of strong points, full of proof, irrefutable and irresistable. It carried conviction, to the hearts of many who had not heretofore been able to satisfy their minds as to the duty before them. - : s

Many of the people of Liigonier and vicinity having expressed a desire to hear Gov. Williams and Judge Gooding speak at this place, and these gentlemen Kkindly consenting to do so, bills were issued in the afternoon announcing a meeting in front of the Ligonier House at eight o’clock in the evening. An unexpectedly large crowd gathered at that point and listened respectfully and attentively to a brief speech by the Governor and to the powerful argument of Judge Gooding. The best of order prevailed throughout, and the unanimous verdict is that the meeting was a glorious SUCCEsS. s ,

- YELLOW FEVER. . 124 Cases and 49 Deaths in 24 Hours. These startling figures apply to New Orleans. This covers the twerty-four hours from Monday noon to. noon Tuesday. The increase over the previous twenty-four hours is sixty-nine cases and five deaths. T'he number of new cases reported up to noon of Tuesday at Memphis was fifty-seven; deaths, thirty-three. Of the new cases occurring now a large proportion are colored people. It is thought the mortality will be great. The suffering at Vicksburg is described as heartrending to witness. Six of the doctors have -been taken down with the fever. A heavy rainfall Monday night had the effect of causing the disease to spread rapidly in the southern part of the city. The situation at Grenada is much ‘the same. Urgent appeals for aid have been answered by the Howard Association of New Orleans, and nurses and suitable provisions sent the sufferers. .

What Mr. Baker hag to Say.

The following is what the Elkhart county correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel ‘says of Hon. John I. Baker’s canvass in that county: “The Hon. John.H. Baker opened the campaign last night in Grange Hall, Osolo township. Your correspondent attended, thinking he would hear something of interest, but I must confess that I was very much disappointed, for after “Johnnie” shook the hay seed out of his whiskers and told thé farmers how much they had improved the country since our forefathers landed on Plymouth rock, he tried to show the standing of finances in England and France, but failed. He then took up the greenback question, and Kearney {he communist was his whole topic. -There was ahout 200 persons to hear him, one half Demo-. crats and the balance women, greenbackers and Republicans.” i

- AMONG the other good things spoken by Gov. Williams at Albion last Tuesday; is the following: .

“I want to address myself to my National friends. I claim a party kine ship to them, and as we demand exactly the same financial reform that they do, L claim them as kinsmen. In fact they bear the same relation to the democratic party that I do to the Methodist_ church.” My wife is & Methodist, and I am a brother-in-law to the church. I want the Nationals to come up and help their brothers-in-law out. They can’t keep house alone, but if we areall together we can.— Why, they are like ¥ would be if I should try to keep house without my wife. There ain’t enough of me to keep house alone, and there is not enough of you to make a party alone.”

Kearney Repudiated.

PEORIA, ILL., August 22.—A- number of workingmen of this city held a meeting last night and decided that Dennis Kearney, the California destructionist, was not a true representative of the. workingmen of the.country, and that his violent, vulgar and profane harangues were only calculated to excite the worst classes of society to deeds that the true laboring men of the country would shun. The meéting though not large, was nevertheless attended by some of the best agtd most intelligent mechanics in the eity. : : : ;

Some Earnings,

The gross earnings of the Central Pacific Railroad for the present year will be, it is estimated, in the neighborhood of $15,000,000, of which about $8,000,000 will be net profit. The gross earnings have been as high as $17,000,000, with a net gain of $9,000,000—about 52 per cent. The Chicago and Northwestern, which is a wellpaying road, does not get a profit of $2,000,000 out of the gross receipts, amounting to 315,000,00 Q. And still the Central Pacific has just increased its freight rates. : e — 4 ER——— New York City is likely to take a new departure in politics, so far as the mayoralty is concerned. The leading papers of that city without regard to party, are advocating the nomination of Robert Bonner, of the Ledger, ag an independent candidate for Mayor. The only queston remains, will Tammany Hall suppért him ? ————————p 4 R —— . % The creditors of Bishop & Co., of Cineinnati, have consented to a compromise and settlement at 40 cents on the dollar. f i : ; el .

R EDITED BY “ALEXTS,” Who ds solely rpspensible for the contents of this ~ ANoTHER GREAT FIRE IN ROME Crry.—About 3:40 A, i, on Saturday morning' last (August 24), the ery of “fire” was heard, and smoke and flames were discovered issuing from the roof of the south wing of the Lake Side House. Before buckets, ladders and -help counld be brought into requisition; the fire-had mads considerable progress and was well under way. All hands immediately set to work to remove whatever could be removed from the premises, and to keep the devouring element from spreading toad“jacent buildings. By almost superhuman efforts on the part of the citizens the fire wasconfinedto the hotel alone, and about tavo hundred dollars’ worth of goods and furniture saved. -The building belonged to W. R. Truesdall, and was covered (or partly so) by an insurance of $5,000. He had also an insurance of $5OO on goods and farniture. 8. W. Dodge, the proprietor of ‘the hotel, had an insurance of $1,500 on goods, furniture, &c. We are not fully adyised what companies the parties were insured in, but believe that they were the Hartford, Aetna, Home and Niagara, all eastern and good companies. It seems to be theintention and expectation of all that another building of greater and more substantial dimeasions will be immediately erected upon the old site. ’

~ We cannot trespass upon the good nature of the editor, to give a full report of all our excursion pic-nics.— They are too numerous to mention. Only five last week. ¢ : .

David H. Perew, Esq., of Wolcottville, will probably be placed upon the National Greenback ticket as their candidate for Prosecuting Attorney in this District. Mr. Perew was informally nominated by the democratic convention at Kendallville, and then formally euchered out of the nomination. “Hornswoggling” don’t always win,— It really looks as if nominating conventions were scientifically turned into gambling machines. S ‘Wm. C. Williams, Esq., National Greenback candidate for Congress, addressed the people of Wolcottville on Saturday evening last. He had a full house, and his speech had a good effect. ; 2 v

“The greenback rally at Rome City last week was largely attended. The crowd was largely augmented by several excursion parties being present, who came to recreate at this summer resort, and not for the purpose of attending the greenback rally.”— Albion Independent New Era. We deny the assertion, Mr. Prickett, and call for the proof. The Columbia City firemen had an excursion on that day, and this is the only one. They had. fixed upon another day, but changed to the 14th in order to give greenbackers a chance to attend our rally. The large number attending_ this greenback rally is' what seems to worry Mr, Prickett. . /

The Brushy Prairie correspondent of the Lagrange Register (another independent paper) inquires if “there ‘were not several Sunday School pic,; nics at our greenback rally.” Not so! Mr. Brushy; werefer you to the above answer to Prickett. , We have plenty of Nationals 'to make a large rally without calling in Sunday-School picnies. - e /

Our esteemed friend, 'Squire Dunn, of Brimfield, is véry anxious to have us write the biography of the different candidates on the National Greenback ticket of this county. Writing biographies-is no part of our business, and it is something in which we have but little experience. But for the purpose of pleasing (or at least trying to please) an old friend, we will make a trial. First comes our candidate for Representative, NELSON PRENTISS,— Judge Prentiss is a man who is well known to every old settler of Noble county. He is a man of sterling integrity and good morals. He is qualified and he is honeést. He fills in every respect the Jeffersonian test—“honesty and capacity.” Heis a law: yer of fine ability, and is thus eminently suited for the office for which he has been nominated. He sympathizes with the poor and laboring classes, and is in every respect the poor man’s-friend; and if elected to the Legislature, he will not be likely to vote to send a despotic aristocrat to the U. 8. Senate, who has been pleased to call him an “idiot.” =~

WILLIAM WALTMAN, our candidate for Treasurer, is a resident of Sparta township. He has been long and favorably known to the people of this county. Mr. Waltman is.a Rev. Divine of the Ev. Luth. church, and gives but liftle attention to politics. He is a fine scholar, an. honest man, and is loved and respected by all who know him. | S '

GEORGE F, BROTHWELL, our candidate for Sheriff, is a resident (farmer) of Orange township. He is a gentleman of culture and fine ability. He spent three years of his precious,life in putting down the great rebellion, and was in many a hard-fought battle, and received greenbacks at face value for ‘his pay. George is a good talker, in his plain farmer style, and will between (his and the election give his brother farmers and fellow-soldiers a reason for the hope that is within him. L » W. W. SKILLEN, the candidate for Auditor, is one of whom modesty will prohibit us from sayiug anything in praise. Suffice it to say, that in point of fitness and ability h{ is willing to be compared by impartial judges with his competitors. And having lost his entire property vin"the great Chicago fire, any suffrage bestowed in this respect would be received as a great favor. ; d e 1 ~ CoMMISSIONERS.—George T. Ulmer is an old resident of Noble county, well and favorably known. Heis an energetic, gocahead man, of f{ine business qualifications and will make a first class officer, and one of whom the county may well be proud. . H. H. HAINEs, of Avilla, is a young

mah, a druggist by profession, of quick, sharp, perceptive faculties, and just; the man to guard the interests of thecoumty, ' ni @l il ~ Our candidate forSnryveyor, AuGUsTus P. FRINK, of Kendallville, is an old settler. He is well and fayorably known in Noble county. He isa good scholar and well qualified for the po‘sition to which he will be elected. He is a soldier, and spent severai years upon the battle-field. The Democrats have endorsed Mr. Frink as their candidate, which Trenders his eleetion doubly sure. : : Our candidate for Coroner, JoHN PEPPLE, is a citizen of Albion, an old settler, an honest man, and one whom the tongue of slander has never reached. Mr. Pepple is in the right locali‘ty for Coroner ard should be elected. Col. Wm. C. Williams and Nelson Prentiss will address the people of Swan township on Friday next, (tomorrow) at two o’clock in the afternoon.. :

George T. Ulmer, National Greenback candidate for Commissioner, was endorsed by the Republicans at their convention on ¥riday last. George will be elected, but is perhaps the only one on the republican ticket that will be. : !

ELKHART LOCALS.

MRr. EpiTor:—l congratulate you upon your success in receiving, the nomination for congressional honors, hoping that you will be «equally successful at the ensuing election.

Every person in this life has his personal difficulties, his fortunes and misfortunes, among mankind, and very frequently when a man is put forward as a candidate to office, those things are brought forward, magnified and made to show with greater. brillianey than when they actually occurred. Should this be the case? We answer, emphatically, No! When persons allow minor personal matters to influence them in political and religious matters, it shows a lack of patriotism, a lack of religion, a lack of everything good. It shows more emphatically a real lack of principle, a disregard of the best interests of the country; it shows nothing but selfaggrandizement. ' Then let us as men shut ouf: all personal feeling, and work and vote for the men whom a majority of the delegates of our county and district have placed in front to represent us. . e

Two of our adult Wawaka citizens came to blows a few days ago; one with pitchfork, the other with shovel. What a clash of steel to steel. Exconstable Fry, and wagon-maker Hall were the combatants. Hall received a fracture of two or more ribs. Squﬁ'é Greene commanded peace, but the parties were soo deeply interested in their own engagement, they could scarcely take time to respond:to the ’Squire. The Dunkards baptized two persons last Sunday near Springfield, where they held a rousing basket meeting. Rev. Sturgis, of South Bend, officiated as minister at the stand, and Rev. Beer attended to the ordinance of baptism. This church has made many accessions. They ‘are workers and’ meeting going pegple; hence, success awaits their efforts, and that, too, without begging. : , The Wawaka band played sweet music for a certain political meeting not long since. Said meeting was to furnish them with new music. The boys did not receive the music. Wait, boys, until greenbacks are as plentiful as grasshoppers in Kansas. Wm. Husten, of Mount Vernon. Ohio, has purchased the Samuel Swank farm of A.G.Gibson and J. B. Smith. He does not expect to move to this place until next Spring. - Threshing of the present crop cf cereals is in our locality fast winding to a close. Farmers hurrying to be ready to sow for the next crop. The rain has come in due season, and prepared the ground for tilling. - In consequence, perhaps, of the light freeze of last winter, mother Earth has not been as pleasant to work as in years previous. .

Martindale, publisher of the Indianapolis Journal, attracts much attention. The Toledo Bee, a national organ, thus comments: If there is ever an instance of poetic justice in the business world, this looks like one .of them. Of course Martindale never cared to aid in staying the storm of financial rain which the wy%ﬂmm had raised, and which he was aiding to urge S 80 long a 8 it struck only his neighbors, but now he hag blessed experience of knowing how it i 8 himself.

WAWAKA, Aug. 26, 1878.

EDITOR BANNER :(—Having nothing else to do, I accepted akind invitation from an old friend to accompany him to the Republican convention at Albion on Friday last. It was very interesting to me to witness the manipulations and wireworkings of such machinery in these latter days. The convention was largely attended, and it would seem that-the best material of the party was present to select candidates from; but, whether this was done or not is certainly a question of great doubt. One very noticeable feature was the laying aside of old standby’s, and Young America ruling the roost. ' Orlando Kimmell was nomi‘nated for Representative. Orlando has been talking considerable on the greenback question, and when he was nominated and called, he failed to'respond. Orlando did not choose to be interviewed in public from a storebox; he was therefore reported sick. I did not learn the nature of Orlando’s disease, but infer from circumstances that it was spinal affection. But I was glad to know of his recovery, as he was soon after his nomination able to be about and attend to business long before the close of the convention.” Next came the nomination for ‘Treasurer. Here was announced the old stand-by’s, Dan Love, Isaac Mendenhall (crippled soldier) and Mr. Trump, all good men; but Mr. Joseph Shew, yet a young man, had an easy walk-away with the whole crowd.— Then came the contest for Auditor. ‘There were only two contestants for this important and responsible office. In this contest John P. Kitt, an old, respected citizen, and a gentleman well qualified for the position, was slaughtered without mercy by John Smith, amere boy and whom some one pleased to call emphatically a “couri-house rat.” I was unable to hear a single \ syllable urged against Mr. Kitt, other than that he had a good farm and did not need the office. . Then came the great and spirited contest for the office of Sheriff. There was good old ‘Stutely Whitford, now getting old, who spent the best days of his life in the Republican cause, and a man well qualified to fill the office. Also, Wm. McMeans, an old and faithful servant, a man whom none can say aught ‘against. Also, Jos. Vermilyea;another of the very best men of the county. Then there was Esq. Cyrus Pollock, now superintendent of the poor house, a man of unblemished character, and a man every way qualified for the office of sheriff. All these old settlers were forced to step aside and give place to Jas. W. Grifith, (Shorty) of Ligonijer, who actually mounted the store-box and said “he was glad he had doneit.” These being the principal officers, 1 will not follow the proceedings further, But enough hds been said to give a glance behind the curtain and ‘see how things were Qenm but notice the. old wheel-horses, such as Samuel (hlwine, Chas. Law, John - ‘Whan, Jacob Wolf, Henry Hostetter, Gidm Schlotterback, Dr. Carr,and a host of other old, faithf’alßGpubﬁcans who were not ' candidates and had no aspirations, crowded out and | forced to take back seats and let. young America run the machine to suit their own notion. Wonder-how the boys will come out when the electioncomes? . SPECTATOR. |

Will Probably Change their Fune. . ' -[Auburn Courier. | VR - Some of the republican and inde: pendent papers of this District have been insisting that Judge Tousley’s letter of declination was written by J. B. Stoll, of THE BANNER; that the Judge did not have the gbility ﬁogo. duce such argument, or, in other words, that Stoll was a man of much greater intellect than Tousley. Now that Stoll has been xégmm@q@ for Congress we suppose these same papen ‘will transfer t%%shqnom and hm Stoll will be written up-as the veriest ‘ignoramus in the Distriet,

The District has heretofore been quite | largely Republican, but the people will | be unjust to themselves if they no not eleet Stoll, for he is an honest'man | and would make an able and studious | Representative.

(Huntington Democrat:) . " The Democrats of the Thirteenth’ Congressional District, in convention at Kendallville on the 20th inst., nominated John B. Stoll, editor of the Ligonier BANNER, for Congress. This is a merited recognition by the Democrats of that District of Mr. Stoll’s la-| bor for the cause of Democracy, and we hope that Mr. S. will succeed in | defeating his competitor, Mr. Baker, by an overwhelming majority. - ONE OF THE ABLEST AND STAUNCII* SOERIRC L e - (Wabash Courfer) . =~ = - .John B.

Stoll of the Ligonier BANNER, was nominated on Tuesday of last week for Congress by the Democratic convention,which met at Kendallville, Stoll is one of the best men of the press gang aside from his.soft money vagaries and if we did not know John - H. Baker, his Republican oppenent, to be a first class man, we would almost hope for Stoll’s election,but-as it is J. B. you will have to get along without our prayers and encouragements. - | INTELLIGENT AND CAPABLE, BUT—— : (Mistawaka Enterprise, Republican.) ° Hon, John B. Stoll, editor of the Ligonier BANNER, has been nominat. ed for Congiess in the adjoining District by the democratie party. Mr. ' Stoll is a German, intelligent and ca_pable, and thoroughly qualified for' “any such position, but the race against Hon. John H, Baker is atmost a hope--less one. : G e ONE' OF THE ABLEST MEN IN THE W STATE. L 1 (F't, Wayne Sentinel) it The Hon. John B. Stoll, who will: i gpeak at the rink to-night, (Aug. 22), on the political issues of the day, is one of the ablest men in the State. He is a fine scholar, a clear-headed, saga- | cious ' politician, a . vigorous writer and an effective speaker. His paper; the Ligonier BANNER, is one of the ablest and most infiuential democratic journals in the State. Mr. Stoll has’ studied the financial question very thoroughly, and probably understands. it as well as any man in Indiana. We trust he will have a large audience this evening. By the way, Mr. Stoll has just been nominated for Congress by the Democrats: of the Thirteenth Distriet. © A Dbetter selection corld hardly have been made. Mr. Stoll will’ make a brilliant and effective canvass of his District, and despite the odds against him we believe he will be elected, - R e G

. doine FIE 5 WELL FITTED FOR THEDUTY, (Auburn Courier.) - 35

At the Democratic Congressional Convention held at Kendallville last Tuesday, Mr. John B, Stoll, editor and proprietor of the Ligonier BANNER, had the honor of being chosen to “fight the good’ fight” in this District. As the currency question is one of the leading issues in this campaign, Mr. Stoll, with his:store of knowledge in. that particular, and his‘ability as a forcible and logical speaker, is well fitted for the duty to which he has been assigned. We prediet that he will prepare=Mr. Baker for a warmer climate before the campaign closes. .

WILL REPRESENT THE PEQPLE. ' LElkhart News.] - = . -

The Democratic candidate for Congressman from this District, Hon. J. Stoll of the Ligonier BANNER, i 8 in favor of the aboiishment of national bank notes, and the substitution of legal tenders in lieu thereof by the United States Government. He is opposed to the further contraetion of the-cur-rency, and if elected to Congress, will represent the people epon the financial question: instead of acting as a mere pliant in the hands of Wall street syndicate, as is the case with a number of Western Congressmen. Mr. Stoll has for several years, through: the Ligonier BANNER, been advocating the remonetization of silver, abolishment of national bank notes, and has been firm and consistent in his opposition to the forced resumption that Secreta~ ry Sherman and the republican administration has attempted to force upon the country. =~ ° e

WELL POSTED ON THE ISSUES, . [Plymouth Democraf] . - - - The Democratic convention for this (the Thirteenth) Congressional District, met at Kendallville on Tuesday of last week,-and nominated John B. Stoll, of the Ligonier BANNER, as the Democratic candidate for Congress. Mr. Stoll is too~ ¥vell known -in this part of the State, and. in fact all over the State, to need any jntrodyction or commendation to.the people. His abil-. ities "as-a public speaker will enable him to make the canvass in a manner creditable to himself and the party. which he represents. He is well posted on the issues now before the people, and will set forth the views of the democratie-party in a manner cal_culated to win the support of the people. He will’ no doubt canvass the| District thoroughly; and when he comes to Marshall coynty, the Democ--lacy, and all others.
