Political Notes.

Mr. Hanley, of Rensselaer, will be nominated at the judicial convention to be held at Brook, April 10th, and Mr. Hanley, of Rensselaer, will also be elected. We know it hurts, brother Strohm, but we are giving you the facts and you may smoke it or otherwise, just as you see fit.—Morocco Courier. The democrats made their nominations for city offices last evening, but we go to press too early to give the nominees. —o— Morocco has two candidates for prosecutor—Orth Qraves and Reuben Hess, both prominent citizens of Morocco. The present prosecutor, John D. Sink, of Rose Lawn, is also a candidate, and it is reported that C. E. Mills, of Rensselaer, will also be a candidate. —o— At a mass meeting at Morocco last Saturday it was decided to elect delegates to the judicial convention to be held at Brook on Thursday of next week. It is thought that a number of other townships, if not all the townships in Newton county, will send delegates to the convention. —o— Chairman Little, of Newton county, and Editor Strohm, of Kentland, were at Indianapolis last week trying to induce the state committte to interfere in the Jasper-Newton judicial muddle. They received but little encouragement and in a letter from the state committee to Chairman Warner this week he is Instructed to go ahead with the convention as arranged for in the call, as there is nothing irregular in the proceedings. —o— The Prohibitionists are to have their state convention at Indianapolis, on April 15 and 16, at which time they will put a full state ticket in the field. The railroads have made a rate of one fare for the round trip, open to the pub’ic, and a large crowd is expected. A delegation will be present from this county. National Chairman Oliver W. Stewart, of Chicago, will make the principal address. Most of the districts will also at this time nominate a candidate for congress. The Prohibitionists have now opened up state headquarters at Indianapolis, in charge of L. O. Masters, state chairman, with a view of conducting a more aggressive campaign than ever before.
