Political Notes.

The Democratic city covention will be held April 2nd at the Court house. —o— Another week aud the agony will be over. The county convention, which promises to be a rousing one, will be held in Rensselaer next Tuesday. The precinct convention will be held next Saturday. The Republican representative convention for Like and Jasper counties will be held in Hammond, Wednesday, April 2nd. Lake county is entitled to 27 delegates and Jasper county to 10. The county candidates are now trying to rival Prince Henry in their efforts to cover so many miles of country Jn so minutes. Luckily for them, they are saved from the dire dyspeptic consequences of a banquet at each stopping. x —o — The city convention will be held on Wednesday evening of next week. Every Republican in the oit.y should make it a point to attend. By all taking part in the convention there will be no danger that the wrong man will bel nominated for any position. The convention for nominating council men will be held Friday evening of next week. In the call of the Lake county chair man fbr the joint representative convention for Lake and Jasper counties we notice that their delegates to the county covention are to select delegates to the representative convention, or in identically the same manner that Jasper is doing in the judicial convention. The fact of the matter is that this is the universal way of selecting delegates in many counties, notwithstanding the statements of the Kentland schemers to the contrary. —o— Chairman Little of the Newton county Republican central committee has issued a notice that Newton county has withdrawn from any participation in the Judicial convention as originally jointly called to be held at Brook April 10th, for the reason that they are not pleased at the manner Jasper county proposes to select its own delegates to said convention. This action will certainly not tend to strengthen Newton county’s candidate in this county and we shall be surprised if it does not act as a boomerang in his own county. —Remington Press.

THE JUDGESHIP MATTER.

Kentland Tricksters Cause Newtpn County to Withdraw from Convention. Newton county, at the request of the Kentland county seat schemers, has given notice of withdrawal from the judicial convention to be held at Brook on April 10th. This action was taken, as they allege, because Jasper county would not | agree to change the manner of electing delegates to the judicial convention, as agreed upon some time ago by the chairmen of both counties. Immediately after the organization of the county committee in January, the precinct committeemen made the request that instead of holding separate precinct conventions for the county, state, judicial and representative conventions, that one convention be held to cover them all. It was decided to accede to their request and tnat the delegates to.the county convention should select delegates to the state, judicial and legislative conventions, at the time of the county convention. Shortly thereafter Mr. Little, the NewNbn county chairman, and Chairman Warner, of Jasper county, began to make arrangements for holding the judicial convention. Mr. Little insisted upon the convention being held in Newton county. This and other matters were discussed and practically agreed upon, when Mr. Warner wrote the following letter to Chairman Little: Rensselaer, Ind., Feb. 5, 1902. The Hon. Z. F. Little, Goodland, Ind. Dear Sir:—Replying to yours of Jan. 30, 1902, will say that we will agree to hold the convention in Brook on the tenth of April as you suggest. That delegates be selected by each county on March 24, as that time has been fixed by our county committee for holding the county convention, which convention will select delegates to the state, legislative and judicial conventions. That the basis of representation be as you suggest in yours of Jan. 21, viz, one delegate for each hundred votes and one for any fraction over fifty cast in 1900 for Hugh H. Hanna. If this is satisfactory prepare the call in duplicate, and send to me for signature. Yours Respectfully. C. C. Warner, County Chairman. Receiving no reply to this communication, Mr. Warner finally called Mr. Little up by phone Mr. Little explained that he had been busy and had forgotten to answer the letter, but expressed himself as satisfied with the conditions laid down in the letter, but requested as a favor that Mr. Warner draw up the call and send it to him in duplicate for signature. This Mr. Warner did and in a letter dated February 16th Mr. Little acknowledged the receipt of the call and stated that it would be published in the Newton county papers that week. In face the call appeared in the Newton county papers a week or two before it did in the papers of Jasper county. A month later, when they found that Mr. Cummings had no chance of being nominated they began to protest at the manner Jasper had adopted to select delegates, which finally culminated in the Newton county committee issuing an ultimatum that unless Jasper changed the method of selecting her delegates their chairman was authorized to cancel the call without further action of the committee. Mr. Little conferred with Mr. Warner and the latter, not to be bulldozed by the Kentland gang, and acting upon the advice of the Republicans of the* county, refused to amend the call, and Mr. Little issued a notice withdrawing the call. At the above conference, Mr. Warner made the proposition, with Mr. Hanley’s consent, to take a ballot at the precinct conventions, and if Mr. Cummings received a majority vote in any precinct, to give him the vote of such precinct at the Brook convention. This was practically all that the Kentland schemers asked for, but to have accepted the proposition would have taken away the excuse for withdrawing from the convention, which would never do. The fact of the case is, Kentland wants a Kentland man for judge, owing to the danger of losing the county seat, and if they can’t get a Republican from their town, they will vote for a Democrat from the same place, which in this instance means Mr. Darroch, a partner of Mr. Cummings. The rest of Newton county has been badly imposed upop by Kentland in this matter, but we believe they will come to their senses in time and support the nominees of the Brook convention, which will be held, whether Newton takes part or not. The call for the Brook convention is a legal contract, so recognized by law, not to be broken at will by one or the other of the parties thereto, and the candidates so nominated will be the ones whose names will appear on the official ballots at the November election.

BAD FIRE AT GOODLAND.

The Bank, Postoffice and Other Buildings Destroyed. Again has Goodland been visited with a destructive fire. Saturday night fire broke out in Burgess’ hardware store, and the first knowledge the citizens had of the fire was when a keg of gun-powder exploded, shaking the whole town. Goodland has no water works, and but for the fact of it being a rainy night the loss Would, have been much greater. The Burgess building and contents, the estimated value being $25,000, was destroyed. The fire then spread north, burning four more buildings. The next was John Toyne’s grocery, a part of his goods being saved, his loss being about SSOO. These two buildings were owned by Charles Burgess and Thomas Gray. Then followed the postoffice building, owned by Mrs. Wilson, everything being saved in that. The Goodland bank was next. The loss on furniture was small and as the vault was first class and fire proof no fear is felt as to its contents. The bank and building was owned by W. H! Dague, of Fowler, and D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport. The last to burn was Samuel Stein’s department store, but there was time to carry out most of the contents and the loss is small. Thia building also was owned by Mrs. Wilson. The losses are covered by insurance and rebuilding will commence at once.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Glen Wlshard went to Lafayette last Friday to have his eyes examined by a specialist. Miss Harris was unable to meet her classes Thursday and Friday of last week and on Monday of this, on account of sickness. Rev. Hall t-poke to the High School Friday morning. He took as his sub ject “Labor.” He said that the tendency in modern life is for people to all go to “head,” which, were we cabbage, would be a laudable ambition; that work with one’s hands is belittled and despised. “How many of you girls,” said he, “could make your own clothes? How many of you could manage a house as a house-wife should? How many of you boys who would not put on a pair of gloves if you had a little work to do with your bands?” His plea was for the training alike of the hands, and that of the mind. The school is in receipt of a large picture, in antique oak frame, showing the buildings and bits of scenery about the campus of Indiana University. It was presented by the University. This picture is intended to create an added interest in the University it portrays. It may be seen in the High school building in the library.
