Ir BEN HARRISON may. be believed, Nelson Prentiss is identified with a party that is trying to destroy the credit of the country. ~ Yet Ben Harrison’s fugle men in this county have placed the same Nelson Prentiss upon the republican ticket for Representative.

No MAN who supports Jake Shauck need be in the dark as to his probable course in the Legislature. He tells the people boldly and without mental reservation what he will do. Heis a people’s man ; believes in doing right and dealing candidly with his fellowcitizens, That’s the kind of men we want in the Legislature: s

Wino is to be cheated—the Nation- “ als or the Republicans? The Nation__als support Nelson Prentiss because they feel assured that he will vote against Ben Harrison for U. 8. Sena- ; tor.

SHAUCK; the candidate for Representative, belongs, to a ciass which i now everywhere asserting its rights, to wit: the laboring and industrial class. Formerly he.was engaged in milling and fafrming, more recently in selling agricultural implements.— He is a man of sterling g6od sense, well informed on general topics, fairly eglucated, and theroughly conversant with the needs and wants of the peopie. If elected, as he surely will be, he will ever‘be found faithful to the true interests of his constituency. . WiLpLiAm 8, KIsER, for Auditor, is a young man of excellent qualifications,igood judgment, and unquestionable integrity. Familiar withthe du‘ties of the ofiice, he will. at' once be able to mémage 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 dnd accommodating disposition. o { ; ‘

Grora# KEEHN, nominee for Treasurer, is a'éubstangial ‘farmer of Perry township. Heis an industrious, hardworking man, possessed of geod business qualifications, . strict integrity, kind-hearted and generous, and in every sense of the word worthy of pub-tio-vonfidencer TNS TANAS e coun-

~ RIcHARD WILLIAMS, our next Sheriff, is a Green township farmer, a kind-hearted man, and a “good fellow” generally. lle seryed his country faithfully in the late war, and has already acquired great popularity lamong 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. - JoHN 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 JonN P. MCWILLIAMS, the present commissioner for the southern distriet, it is hardly necessary tospeak. He is so well and favorably known t.hrpughout the.county that his peculiar fitness for the office need not be set 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-clags county commissioner.

Avaustus P, FRINK, of Kendallville, is a man whom everybody likes. He was a soldier during the late war, has had an 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 knowlédge of the man is such as to warrant us in saying that he will prove a satisfactoTy and eflicient officer.

B. F. MYERS, of Orange township, candidate for Coroner, is a farmer, a “golid” Democrat, and a good citizen. He may be relied upor to do his duty.

“ALExls” 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 certaiff of his triumphant election. ‘ Sl

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

IN ANSWER to the question, “Will the National Banks expire by limitation,” the Indianapolis Journal says: Each bank is incorporated under 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 violation of law. Most of the existing banks were organized between 1865 and 1868, and their charters are, therefore, more than half expired.

- JAXE SHAUCK will represent Noble county inthe next Legislature. There is no double dealing about him. He stands squarely on the democratic platform, without ifs or ands. i

The election in Maine last Monday resulted in a great Democratic-Green-back victory. There were three tickets in the field—Republican, Democratie, and Greenback. The Demo: crats 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 heretofore carried the State by majorities varying from eight to twenty thousand. The Assembly, being anti-republican by eleven majority, will probably elect a democratic Governor. The constitution of Maine provides that in thesevent of no candidate receiving a majority of all the votes cast, it becomes the duty of the House to send to the Senate the names of two of the candidatés voted for, one of whom the Senate must elect Governor. o

In this,the hitherto strongest Republican District in Maine, Geo. W. Ladd, Greenback-Democrat, is elected to Congress on the Ohio Democratic platform by over 2,500 majority. We have swept- the three great counties comprising the District, electing twenty-four of the twenty-eight Representatives tothe Legislature,and all the Senators. In the Fifth District Eugene Hale is defeated, and F. H. Murch, Greenback-Democrat, is elected by over 600 plurality. Our State llouse of Representativés will be two-thirds Greenbackers; the Senate will be elose. | The seed sown by you in Maine in 1868 has at last yielded a most bountiful harvest.

Words of Truth from Bishop . Simpson, - He Says the People have been Wronged by Bad Financial Logislation. [Bishop Simpson’s letter to the Christian Ad; U . Yocate, Aungust 20th.] : I believe the masses have cause of complaint, I think, the government has not done its duty. 'While seeking 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 beéen lost in banks, which, had they been placed in small ‘bonds, would have been made a richer community and stronger friends for eur government. As I believe our financial leaders, 1n overlooking the masses of our people, have committed terrible blunders, 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 been .employed in ‘establishing postal savirgs 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. t. e

“The Idca” in Vermont. (Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The Third Congressional Distriet of Vermont has hitherto been sure for from seven to eight thousand majority. At the recent election it fell considérably 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 eleet, it is predicted that Genvglx:ialljßarlow will succeed at the next

- Effects of the Pestilence Upon Business. ~ NEW YORK, September B.—Agents in this eity for Southern fowns say business is at a stand-still with Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippl. 'The Southern trade has been as suddenly swept away as many of the vietims of the plague. “The plague is as bad as a blockade,” said one, “and the market is as far from our reach as if eut off by a wall or by an unnavigable sea.” In thePost-office the effscts ‘of the yellow fever is seen in the con- ' fused condition in, which Southern mails come in. The volume of business has not altered in any very mark‘ed degree, but the pouches give evidence of having passed through quarantine at some point in their transit | North. Postmaster James has made ‘arrangements to have Texan mail ‘miatter go direct from this city via the (zalveston line of "steamers, and the first mail.:ﬁhi?m,ﬁ under this arrangemery will be made to-morrow.,

_ EDEEDEY “Argedr Who is solely yespomsible for .the dontents of this last, was a most perfect success. Thoso ‘who had the matter in charge, knew “how things ought to be done,and they had the energy and ability to carry it out. The display and decorations were magnificent. There were flags, ‘banners, mottos.and decorations, such ‘s wo have not seen since the memor‘able 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 tlie seripture. The old, gray haired pioneers were there. The young men and ‘maiderns “were there.: 'T'he mothers with their children were there. The voters of Swan township were there, all determined to lay asideold party préjudiccs wnd join with the Nationals and work fcr the good of their country. The Cherubusco Cornet Band discoursed ‘most excellent music. The cannon was continually booming, a sumptuous repast was spread for the entire multitude. Speaking commenced at -one o’clock, by Col. Wm. C. Williams, - who was introduced by the president of the day (Esq. Drake) as the next Congressman from the 18th 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 bhis position ‘'on the political issues, showed ‘how he came'}to be indorsed by the Republicans. lis speech and explanation 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 entire assembly . with immense enthusiasm. The General made some telling hits to the soldiers. Rev. Hartsuck, of Kendallville, closed the speaking with a few wellchosen remarks, closing with an anec\dote which convulsed the crowd 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 that it is not the pol‘icy of the republican party 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: S “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 qurrency of the country of the legaltender motes 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"blapl;erskitbs to the contrary notwithstanding. S Judge Prentiss has been adopted as the Republican candidate for Representative. = He was placed there by the Central Committee in consequence 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. Voorhses. Judge Prentiss is pledged to no one. The Nationals are perfectly satisfied with the Judge: They have no objactions to our distressed Republicans supporting their candidate. = The Judge will surely be elected by a large 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 Ceesar less, but that they loved Rome more.”

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. bonds. Hehasnow about $140,000,000 in coin to redeem $346,000,000 of greenbacks, on and after January 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 subject ? S e s

1f 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 the resumption act, and then commence calling in coin bonds and paying thent off and putting .Goin ]‘ in circulation. = They would thus be continually decreasing their interestbearing debt, and putting money in circulation to do business with. Now is mot this as plain as the nose on a man’s face? | Voters, if you want to bring prosperity -t the country and revive business, vote the National Groenbuck ficket. . . 7 ‘Those who oppose Greenbacks advocate barebacks. ‘'Voters of Noble coun= ty, which do you preferp - This is a very unhealthy season, J.

Two years hence 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 T¥epublican-Democratic party, or vice versa, Democratic-Re-publicansparty, 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 to 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. . : ’

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.
