STEALING THE PRESIDENCY.

Doubtless every stalwart Republican of Jasper county it ready and witling to support whoever may be nominated at Chicago for the pres idency' bnt before such nomination it made we assume the privilege ofexpressing oar preference for the person wKo in oar judgment is best calculated to deal with the dangers that matt be met In the near future. If the Democratic party is honest in its intentions towards the republic, it is more unfortnnate in being snspicioned for entertaining evil designs than any political party that ever existed So far has this i habit of suspicion gone in the minds of intelligent men that it is freely stated in circles where politics is serioosly discussed, that the one hope now holding the Democrats in congress together lies in the direction of stealing the' presidency. Without this expectation of spoils from a successful theft of the presidential office through a rote by states in congress, the quarfels and j differences, the lack of confidence and the disgust with each other ex bting in the Deirtocratic family would cause its national organization to fall tq pieces like'a rope of sand. But the cohesive power of a tolerably good chance to steal one hundred thousand Federal offices is sufficient for the hour, and the Dcm-. ocratic party is in good fighting trim. We -have so little faith in the law-abiding character of the Democratic party that we do not . believe they wou’d yield theprcsi-l dency to nn honest Republican ! victory in 1884 if they succeeded in (felranding the -Republican party out of t|ie result of the presidential election ifr 1880. To this stupendous fraud on the ! people the Democratic majority in j congress are now directing their I entire efforts. They have ousted 1 some Republicans,have others ready i *o oust when occasion selves, and i where the contest is attempted by j a Republican for the scat of a Democrat, it is not considered. The I preparations of the Democrats for ! this great steal are made conspicu- ! ous by the fact that they so arrange j contests as to give them just the ma- j jority in the State delegations they j will need to make sure of the President when they have rejected enough Republican electoral votes to throw the choice of President rnto the house of represent*fives. The success of this Democratic scheme will mean nothing | less than that, once intrenched behind the patronage of the Federal j government, the party will not yield »to the will of the people unless that will is-enforced by revolution. In j the face of this great portending : danger it is plain that a solemn duty I devolves on the Republican party I in their choice of a presidential candidate. , In the first place we do not want J a candidate whose unpopularity is j established among large and important elements of the party, depending fjr his success on his warlike disposition and stern deteruiitake his seat if elected, because such a candidate Will not have any occasion to take his seat, . his honest defeat being reasonably assured. Nor do we want a candidate whose genius, however great or admirable, runs in a single channel, and who, while he might be i elected would not have the address and resource sufficient to defeat by j peaceful and law'ful means agigant- I ic conspiracy hatched under the j forms of law. But we want a man whose gooJ, practical notions and j sound common sense are.the concomltants of an overshadowing and i versatile ability, capable of coping with any issue, and who is so dear to the popular heart that the outrage of detrauding him would create such a sentiment of wrath throughout the country that the conspirators would be compelled to see the Folly of their course. Such a man is James G. Blaine, of Maine. Onr people will not fail to per- , eeive the very ch>se analogy of de- j tail between the attempt to steal ! the governorship of Maine and the I proposed attempt to steal the presidency. In the former attempt, happily frustrated by the wisdom of the policy laid dowh by Mr. j Blaine, the outrage on whole towns and districts, boldly disfranchised by the Democrats, was to the minds of ordinary men of good sense sufficient cause for the use of violent means to maintain the rights of freemen. Bnt- while Mr. Blaine doubtless concurred in this view of justifiable force, his large sagacity foresaw the infiuite peril of a precedent of a resort to arms, and conceived a plan which by pesoefnl and legal methods defeated conspirators with possession and all the aid of patronage and office in their hands. Under the magic tonch of the remedy suggested by Mr. Blaine the best laid plans of unprincipled politicians and office seekers dissolved into hopeless and just nothinguess, because of the innate and resistless force of the right there was in that touch. The same principle will apply to make the best taid scheme of mice and Democrats

if tbtr tmteruke to steal the presidency from such a candidate as James G, Blaine. In the frst place hie electoral majorities in all the northern States will be so decided that the black villainy ofrejecling the votes of these states will shock and affright even the conscience of a Democratic cob greseman. He will be both overwhelmingly elected and triumphantly inaugurated beyond peradventure it onr convention at Chicago will nominate him. If anybody else is nominated, however great and able he may be, there is danger of’chaos | developing from the sitnation the I Democrats in congress are making.

WHAT THE GREENBACKERS ARE.

The Greenback party (if it can ; be called a party) after repeated ef- | forts to bold an organization has at last given np all hope of obtaining ; State or National power and divided | into squads as political free-booters. They have no fixed principles bat ! employ every measure and all means ! office for profit and planI der. This assertion may seem severe and unwarranted, but when we | come to investigate the facts we find that half the story has not been told. Fully tvfo-thirds of the leaders of the gang is composed of political sore-heads—men who have spent a good share of their lives in office and became political marauders simply because the party that placed them in power did not see fit to make them perpetual office holders; men who are impressed with the idea that their political abilities have not been appreciated by their former associates, and therefore have united with the mongrels in order to make an exhibition of the influence they are capable of controlling; men who care nothing for the good of the community in which they live or for the safety and prosperity of the general government, but are possessed of a devilish spirit to rule or ruin and get gain whether it be by fair or foul' means. This, in brief, is the character of the leaders of this guerrilla party. They nowhere maintain a separate organization with a code of principles opposing the Democrats and Republicans. In localities where the Republicans are in the majority the Greenbackers are found hobqobing with the Democrats for the defeat of the majority party and the division of the spoils. Where the Democrats are in the ascendency this would-be Handy Andy party have very poor picking and eke out a very feeble existence for the reason that the Republicans are governed by fixed priuci pies and cannot affiliate with any party or individuals whose views are not in perfect harmony. In Jasper county they are now ranking streneous efforts to absorb the Democratic party and become pel feet masters of the situation, and they are now in a fair way to accomplish the end desired. Some of the Democrats here having lost faith in their own ability to carry on a successful party warfare are about ready to sell out, soul and breeches to the marauders. The Greenbackers have now almost entire control of the Democratic organ, and go far as the genuine Democrats are concerned they are poweriess to assert any right or opinion averse to the Greenback idea, and during the present political campaign, will be “like the bound, boy at the husking—having nothing to say.” They can stand arouud with their hands in their pockets and follow wherever their guerrilla chieftains may choose to lead. It is possible that a few of the more intelligent Democrats, who have not been consulted, will refuse to concur in the “sell out,” but they will be successfully whipped in by the renegades or compelled to stand aside. The Greenbackers have obtained possession of the Democratic reins and they propose to drive daring this political race.

FOR CONGRESS. WHO?

From The Winnmac Republican. COL. TIIOS. H. BRINGHURST. Editor Rep.:—The time is approaching when the Republicans of the 10th Congressional District will be called upon to select the man they intend to represent them in the National halls of legislation. Every Republican and patriot realizes that a crisis is approacttng in our National affairs; that the time now is when it shall be decided whether Ihe principles fought for by the “boys in blue” or those of the “grey” shall be dominant, not only in the balls of legislation, but in the National councils. Whether the blood and treasure so freely poared out shall have been wasted, or shall bring forth fruit that shall gladden the hearts of the oppressed and down trodden of all nations. ********* In thia District we have a number of gentlemen who would not only bo safe men, but would rather reflect credit on the District and honor the position, but among them all I know of no one who combines all the necessary qualities in such a large measure as the aoldier oitizen, Col. Thos, H. Briughurst, of Cass county. In advocating the nomination- of Col. Bringhurst, I am assured that

I present a character without reproach, one that will bear the closeet •cmtiny of hostile criticism. No man in this community bear* a better reputation lor sobriety, integrity, hospitality, benevolence, and all the best attributes of manhood. He is s self made man, who has received his political training in the fore-front of all the contests of the last thirty year*. As the editor of s Republican newspaper, (the Lo gansport Journal) he was sbls, useful and influential. Ai a party leader, he is tearless, sagacious and tirelessly energetic. Possessed of strong good sense and a rare fend of information upon political subjects, and being s clear and forcible speaker and a ready debator, he would make a telling canvaae as our standard bearer iu the approaching contest, llis record is unassailable. His services to his eon in unity, his party and his country have been most valuable. In the affairs of the community he has zealously advocated the greatest good for the greatest number. In liis party, since its organization he has always been among the foremost in the fray, and was never known to flinoh or grnmble. He served a year honorably in the war with Mexico as a private soldier in tne First Ind. Vol’s. In the war of the rebellion he went ont as the Major of the 46tb Ind. Vol’s, became the Colouel of the regiment, serving his oountry actively and with credit to himself and his State, from 1861, until his gallant regiment was disbanded, as veterans, at the close of the war. His military career stands approved and stainless. This is bnt an outline of Col. Bringhurst, as I know him, but in that outline are found all the elements of a strong candidate. Such a man would not fail to receive the support of all Republicans, and would deserve the suffrage of many of the opposition. I sincerely believe that the more the people of the district could know of Col. Bringhurst the more they would like him, and that no man in the district would make a better race for representative in Congress than he, should he receive the Republican nomination for that office. Around his standard would rally the “soldier hoys 1 ’ ol the district, and all the friends of the soldiers, and his election would be assured. Trusting that the Republicans will seriously consider all the questions involved in the coming struggle, and act wisely and well, I leave the name of Col. Bringhurst with them, hoping it will be inscribed .upon their banners in the coming campaign. A Veteran.

REMINGTON RAMBLES.

BY W.

|Tliese items should have appeared last week, but arrived too lute. —En.] • Prospects are favorable for the starling of a brick yard one half mile south of town. J. A. Thomas, proprietor. Roby, the section boss between this place and Wolcott, indulges in the luxury of a sling for his right band. Too much railrtuid iron. Last week was prolific in wind work for fights, but they all ended as they began, in gas. Some of odr most prominent citizens were stock holders in the rows. J. H. Trlbbey has accepted a position as traveling salesman for a wholesale establishment. We hate to lose : him but are bapyy to have him better his prospects Mr. D. M. Nelson and Misses Clara Brown and Carrie Irwin have gone to Terre Hante to attend school. Miss Lizzie Phelps return ed from the same place last week, just convalescent from the measles. On Thursday of last week there were two funerals in town. One the widow of the lase Irving Phelps and the other, Nellie, the youngest daughter of John E. Ilollett, who died after a sickness of less than twenty-four hours. Barney Patton is a good deal elated over the fact that at the recent election, he received one vote for an office for which he was not an applieant. It was supposed by the depositor of that vote, that Barney was a standing candidate. Dr. R. C. Pierce, one of the oldtime residents of this township, spent Saturday and Sunday in Renting with bis son, W. H. Pierce. By the way, it is rumered that Wiley is to be a candidate for the Vice Presidency. That was a niee bit of snrgery performed solely by Dr. Maxwell a few weeks since upon the hand of Mr. William Howard. He was pat under the influence of chloroform, administered by Dr. Patton. The hand, or what was left of it, has healed perfectly. Jasper Guy traded the house which he has occupied during the last year for tho Tribbey residence. James Broadie has bought the first named. There is quite a business done jost now in real estate, trading, buying and selling. It is appreciating in vaioe somewhat compared with last year. It is to be feared that oar temperanoe meetings will lose their efficiency unless a more harmonious spirit can be iostilied in some of the promineat members. One drop of iuk wiii oolor a quart of water, so

keep rlTarge society in confusion. John Y. Pugh la determined to find coal in the vicinity of -Batting ton, whether that mineral exists h« cahoots or not. He is new boring on the old Lipprsnt fsrm, onehalf mile from towp. 4f he will turn his angnr horizontally, in tire direction of Barger. A Parker's coal boose, he will probably reach 4he black diamonds much easier sad st less distsnee than running it vertically. The week last passed was an uncommonly busy one for the farmers in this vicinity. The high winds had the effect of drying the ground rapidly and plows were running early and late. Many acres of oats were sown and that work will probably all be completed in Carpenter township during the present week. Winter wheat looks very fine and there is a much larger acreage of that grain than ever before. Fred Hoover has over one hundred acres upon his farm, which promises much better than wheat did one year ago.

Mtllendcr, of Hanging Grove, is said to be qnlte-sick; A politician needs to bo as “wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove. I '. Fine pike and salmon are caught daily in the Kankakee river with set nets. Granville Moody has a trio cf babies. The last one is of the angelic persuasion. W. W. Reeve says his name was used in the Grepuback convention without his authority. The Dwiggins pasture is being plowed for corn. llow w'nl we be able to dodge those mud boles in the fuiure? Wrn. Blankenbaker, Col. Daniel Duvall and Burt Hutson are Democrats who are willing to be town Marshal. Lineus Marlin gave a solid bond as constable. His bondsmen represent about three hundred thousand' dollars worth of property. John Randall, of Hanging Grove,, has built a new fence, but got it wrong side out. Stock will not be so apt to knock the boards nfi. A daughter of Hon. George H. Brown is to return home to-day after three years absenoe in Calafornia for the benefit of her health. j Will Hoover and H. A. Barkley have been talked of for county treasurer and now Wm. £. Moore’s olaitusare being urged again. Who next? Mrs. W. L. Bringle returned Tues>day from an extensive visit of friends near New Albany. <~She suffered an attack of pneumonia while there. Mhjor Bitters has traded his horses and carriage for eighty acres of Barkley township real estate. We know the editor is too modest to tell it, hence this item. Barney Patton says he is a Nalional orGreenbacker. Wethought he was a real nice old fashioned Jacksonian Democrat. He wants to be Sheriff of Jasper county. Dr. Harding imported some lettuce, radishes and green cucumbers, last week. Fortunate is the man who can cause a want and it, cveD if it is colic medicine. Clias. Harding, the Nubbin Ridge merchant, was called to Michigan because of siokness in hit "family. His wife and child were visiting in the Wolverine State. F. J. Sears wentto Watsekawhere he recently sold a piece of property. He purposes selling one or two more pieces while there, •if "the parties wishing to purchase comply with the terms. Simon Phillips does not desire the Republican or any other nomination'for marshal. Geo. Morgan, Geo. Hopkins, W. W. Reeves and S. Hemphill would either of them accept if nominated and eleoted.
