The affair is reported as having been a success. = } —We lsarn from reliable authority that ‘Mr. Thos. E. Casey, for so many years the popular shoemaker, has accepted a position with Mr. F. W, Shinke, where he will be found after 'next-Monday. His many friends will ‘be welcomed when they call upon him at his new quarters. He will take charge of the manufacturing depart—ment of Mr, Shinke’s establishment, and his well-known ability will certainly insure him the custom of all of his old-time friends and customers. -—Some of our democratic friends have been blaming Mr. Hoffman for the ‘trouble in regard to the torches last Saturday evening. He was wholly blameless, as the order was sent in for the torches, complete, and when they arrived the boxes were at once taken to the school-house, where they were unpacked, when it was found that an important part to one hundred lamps was missing. They had evidently ‘been: left out ef the box when the packing was' done. This made the ‘whole one huncired torches absolutely worthless, and Mr, Hoffman at once did all in his power to replace them by borrowing one hundred from- the ‘republican committee. He had about ‘arranged for them when two or three well-known Republicans _interposed thelr objections, and he could not make the srrangements desired, and ‘lvwe were short just ome hundred torches, Mr. Hoffman did nﬁ:m power to fill his contract, but was {frustrated by the hide-bound partisan%@&,{.&Wﬁ’%@“x’ L pgin et R e

—Teachers and all others interested will please remember that the County Institute will be held at Albion on Monday, Oct. 6. A full attendance is desired. g ; s

—We did not intend our meeting last Saturday evening as a menace to any one, but it scaréd quite 2 number of our republican friends to the woods and they did not return until late. —Rev. A.

—Mr, Hoffman did all in his power to fill his contract, and he, no doubt appreciates the treatment he received at the hands of certain individuals who live off of Democrats as well as Republicans. :

~—llt is reported that the Republicans had a good meeting at Wolf Lake last Saturday evening. Arrangements had been made to take a large number from this place but the crowd did not materialize, and soms of the rigs were sent to the barn. e —C. V.

—The huge pole could not be raised last Saturday, owing to bad luck with the ropes. Mr. Fisher who furnished the ropes says that saveral of them were cut by some miscreant. One new rope was cut in three places and had every appearance of being the work of some evil-designed villain who did not want to see the pole go up. —The members of ‘the Ligonier Harmonic Society and several invited guests met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott Tuesday evening. A splendid programme had been prepared, and while the weather interfei*ed much with the evéning’s entertainment, the exercises were all Interesting. We hope that this excellent musical orgaﬁization wiil become a permanent institution, as it will afford many pleasant evenings to our musically inclined citizens. ‘ ; >

—Mr. W. F. Hadley, at Avilla, is an enthusiastic St. John man., Hb has lately, and by ‘the assistance of his friends in the Democratic and Republican parties raised a very fine pole, from the peak of which floats a St. John and Daniel streamer. The novelty of the pole buginess is varied from in this that the butt of thepole has been’ bored out, a pump placed therein, and cool, refreshing, sparkling water is furnished the thirsty. Mr. Hadley “gsets ’em up” to one and all without regard to party. | : —The room lately occupied by T. E. Casey’s boot and shoe store has been most thoroughly ‘overhauled and now presents a neat and tidy appearance, The walls have been painted apd ornamented while the wood-work has been newly painted. A commodious ware room has been added to the rear of the building, giving plenty ot room: for ‘the storage of a large stock, On or about Oct. 1 Will McDonald, the popular druggist, will remove his large stock of drugs into these quarters, and when he gets his stock straightened around will have one of the neatest drug stores in Northern Indiana. —ln psrambulating around over the country seeking items we haye had occasion to take in some of the many fine residences being erected in town and country by our well-to-do citizens. The residence of Wm. Hitler, in Sparta township, is one of the-very finest in this éection; and reflects great credit on the mechanics who performed the .work. The job is however so well set off by the exceedingly fine painting that we was forced to inquire who did the work, and was told that it was done by our fellow-townsman, William Wandle. It is truly a good job and is indeed a credit to that gentleman. We are pleased to learn that he is giving satisfaction to all with whom he has dealings. _ —The authorities are making an example of the post master at Garrett. .His zeal for the g. 0. p. got him into jail last week charged with embezzlement. For some weeks the “Telegraph,” a German paper published at Indianapolis, has been received very irregularly by subscibers at various post offices in the state. The publishers hired a detective, who at once began operations at Garrett. In one week thirteen papers were not r;e-l ceived by the persons they were in- | tended for and the detective thereupon disguised himself as a rag-gatherer and began neogations with the post master for waste paper,fiwhich was delivered. Upon investigation the thirteen papers as well jas a hrg'e“smount‘ of other democratic campaign literature upon which the pestage was paid, | was found among the refuse. This shows the straits o which some of the | disciples of republicanism will enter to get an advantage over the opposition. No doubt many other post offijfyﬁésﬁ‘mf%ﬁ

—Do not forget to call at E. Jacobs & Co. and examine those beautiful new dress goods. Something entirely new in shades and styles. i ' —Several of our citizens attended the soldiers’ reunion at Mishawake last week. They report a 'good time. When taking the train some pickpockets plied their nefarious schemes upon quite a number. } —Wae are decidedly in favor of the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the raising of poles inside the corporate limits., To say the least,itis a foolish custom, and the sooner it is abolished the better. Many towns and cities in the state have already taken steps in this matter, and we think that it would be well that the board of trustees take the matter in hand after the election and forestall any occurrence of this kind of work by passing a strong prohibitory ordinance. . |

—Last Monday evening quite a number of the democracy of Perry township, beaded by the drum corps, proceeded to Albion for.the purpose of participating in 2 meeting of the democracy of Albion and vicinity. Arriving at that place shortly after saven o’cloek, the crowd was met by the uniformed club of young voters and escorted through the principal streets. - There must have been near three hundred torch-bearers in line, and the scene was decidedly grand. After the parade the crowd made a rush for Howard’s new opera{ house, which was soon packed to overflowing, hundreds being unable to gain admission. Had the meeting been held in the open air the scene would have been grandly imposing. Hon. Fraqcis T. Hord, democratic candidate for Afttorney General, was the speaker, and it was indeed a rich treat for those present. His views on the tariff question are in accerd with those of fully thtee-fourths of the people in this part of the state, and as a matter of course were greatly applauded. Eis arraignment of the dominant party for its misdeeds was argumentative but not abusive, and all in all it was one of the best political speeches we have yet had the pleasure of listening to in this campaign, and must have carried convietion to the hearts of his auditors,

RS SR SR R TR e S e AGAIN TOTHE FRONT. THE LARGEST NIGHT MEETING 2 EVER WITNESSED IN i : LIGONIER. A Tremendous Outpouring of Enthug siastic Democrats. — : : Over Five Hundred in Line. Last Saturday, evening witnessed the grandest and largest political demonstration ever held in our town inthe evening. But very little effort had been made by the Democrats to get out a crowd, and considering the fact that democratic meetings were held at Goshen and Kendallville upon the same evening and a republican side-show in progress at Wolf Lake, the erowd was phenominal. It is estimated that at least 8,000 people were in town; in fact, the streets were one golid mass of humanity. As early as 4 o’clock.the crowd began to gaiher, and by evening people were coming into town in a perfect stream. We heard many wonder where they all came from. At 7.80 the procession began to form, and it was not many minutes until every torch was in the hauds of some enthusiastic Democrat, and sticks, brooms, and anything that could be carried instead was pressed into service. The Albion first-voters to the number of seventy-eight, led by the cornet band, were placed at the head of the procession, and to say that they made an imposing appearance would be doing them justice. The procession was the largest and most enthusiastic demonstration of the kind ever seen in Noble county, and would have been much larger had it not been for the unluc%y accident regarding the torches. 'After the parade, which lasted nearly an hour, the school yard was densely packed with these who wanted to hear the speeches. Gen, Lew. Blair made the opeuning address, and held his audience for over an hour, making felling hits upon the methods and practices of the republican party, He was followed by Hon. F. Church, of Chicago, who filled the place of Hon. Morgan H. Wier, who found it impossible at the last moment to fill his engagement.. Mr. Church is an eloquent talker, and interested his audiesuce for nearly an hour. He was interrupted many times with uproarious applause, and closed his speech with the prediction that Cleveland and Hendricks ‘would ‘be triumphantly elected. _ The music of the evening was varied. Two martial bands, two brass bands, the juvenile drum corps and ‘the glee club .made the ‘welkin ring ‘with their stirring tunes. In fact, ‘.never before have the citizens of our ‘town witnessed such a meeting. The epthusiasm was unbounded and the crowd seemed to be beyond number. No especial pains were taken in advertising the meeting. The outpouring was as much a surprise to the originators of the meeting as to eur republican friends, who thought their crowd and display of the Saturday night before beyond. any effort the Democrats might make, The signs of the times are that democracy is on the up grade. ¢ ‘

“C. G ANenclo to the Branined "

~ Some weeks ago the Kendallville Standard made a short notice of the Democratic candidates and then intimated that our candidate for county Recorder, Mr. C. G. Aichele, was an ex-confederate soldier. Last week the columnsof the Standard contained the following manly and straight forward letter from Mr. A., which makes a correction. : : i Editor Standard.:—ln an aiticle of last week’s Standard on the Democratic county ticket, you make reference to me a 8 a confederate soldier, and a deserter from the rebel service. When you penned said artiele, you must have known that this statement was not true, and the gist of the whole article is unjust, and intended to injure me as a candidate before the:people of Noble county; forit is not true that I | “rendered service to the rebgl side,” peither is it true that I deserted.; Having been no soldier, I could not have been a deserter. The only truth ‘ you did tell was that I was conscripted by the rebels, but forgot to tell your readers that in trying to run away from conscription, I was captured within ten miles of the Union" line by their Alabama cavalrymen, taken to their camp and tfried by a courf martial as a “Yankee Spy.” You did not tell your readers that subsequent to this I addressed a letter to the rebel President, Jefferson Davis, at Richmond, protesting against their enrolling me as a congcript, as’ my taking the oath of - allegiance to-the United States as a natural citizen,: precluded my taking up arms against them. . Now, Messrs. Editors, the course pursued by me during the rebellion, 18 the proudest act of my whole life. Yes, I feel just as proud as you,or any soldier. who has marched to the music of the Union. In the Northern states it was but natural to be loyal to the flag of our country, and cost nothing; while I sacrificed my preperty, and risked not only my own life but that of my family. For this reason I consider your article.not only unjust but uaworthy a true Union man, and you will nofsucceed in trying to falsify or belittle the action borpe by me in that unfortunate drama. You seem to labor under the delusion that none but Republicans are loyal to the Union. Bless your heart, I was once of the same opinion; yes, I ‘believed with all my soul that rebellion shou'd have been made odious but it was not done, and the hugging of too miany arch traitors to the Republican bosom, éuring the reconstruction period, has had considerable. to do in casting my lot with the party, which you insinuate to be disloyal. Please don’t feel sorry for me, for your whole article shows that you don’t mean it. Respectfully yours,

CHAS. G. AICHELE.

To School Patrons,

It seems that school children have repr esanted to their parents that the teachers would not allow them to bring slates, but required scratch books instead. With referenco to this matter I wish to state : -

1. That no teacher has given any guch orders. ‘

2. Pauopilsareexpected to haveslates in all the grades, and in some <cases especially in the primary schools, teachers would ba thankful if parents ‘would provide . their children with slates and pencils. . i ~ 3. The use of a scratch-book instead of slates is not prohibited, and if pupils have thew, or if parents choose to 'purchasé such books, the teachers will be satisfed. :

4. Pupils have asked teacliers whether they might use scratch books saying their parents would rather they should use such books. 5. Many pupils come to school with ;'.neatly covered scratch-books, others ‘see them, and in order to get one like them, they adopt the means of telling parents they dare not use slates, and must have the books. o

6. To guard against all such mierepresentations, the teachers will farnish the parant a note stating what books are needed, when-such needs exist. . : e

7. With reference to' desk covers, I will state that to prevent the rattling of slates, and the scratching of the desks, it has been suggested by teachers that those pupils who wished might use fsomse kind of cover ot cloth on which they could lay their slates. The cover need notexceed the gize of the slate, but tbat was not compulsory. If parents would buy the frame coyered slates for pupils it would be much better. :

Very respectfully submitted, " D. D. Luke, Supt.
