GILMAN, of Newton. ■ In our grandfather's day a “alienee gave absent.” Oar Supreme Judges gay silence means to oppose—the coustitutional amendments. The Democratic Supreme Judges have decided that the man who stays away from the election coanta more than the man who votes. Samuel J. Tilden and Horacio Seymore have each written a letter to the Cincinnati convention de* dining the nomination for President. One put in a plea of old age, the other poor health. Neither is able to tackel the Republican lamb.

Every statement to the effect that General Garfield at any time dabbled in Credit Mobilier stocks, can be put down as a Democratic lie in inn factor edout of whole doth for campaign purposes, and no Democrat possessing a grain of truth and .decency will repeat it Garfield borrowed 1329 of Ames, and returned it to him, and that is about the extent of his transactions with the great fraud. The joint Representative convention, between Jasper and Newton counties, held last Saturday, resulted in the nomination of William AV. Gilman. This county’s delegate vote was divided between Gapt. M. F. Chilcote and Dr. Ritchey. Newton united on Gilman which resulted in his nomination. The nominee is an intelligent gentlemen and will give this district a creditable representation. It is a remarkable fact that dark horses in political campaigns always win, and always prove themselves excellent men for the position to which they are elected. While we do not concede that it irfteces■ary for our presidential candidate to succeed, to be supported by any coincidence as this, yet it is a thing to rejoice over that he has this double surety of a glorious campaign and a triumphant victory.

The Democratic charge on Gen. Garfield has not given our political enemies any comfort. Ou the other Band they have come to confusion ijj their work of making false allegations against an honest map whose career speaks for itself, and with which the people are acquainted. On the subject of Credit Mobilier, the Democratic argument on this occasion has been neither eloquent or pointed, and the loud talking they still keep up is for the purpose of covering their defeat after disaster. After the nominations are made at Cincinnati they will be put upon the defensive. We have only time to say that the congressional convention, at Logansport, nominated Hon. Mark L DeMott, of Porter county. The following la the result of the first ballot: Thompson, 38; McConnell, 22; Bringhurst, 18; Shults, 14|; Shryock, 20|; Hatch, 12; DeMotte, 44. DeMotte was nominated on the eleventh ballot. The nominee is a native of Indiana, bom in Parke county. He is a graduate of Asbury University and commenced the practice of law in Valparaiso. He served in the army, in the 4th Ind. battery, under Fremont, and afterward .was promoted to'a place on Fremont’s staff. He has the ability to make a vigorous and aggressive campaign, and no effort will be spared to make it a successful one.

Horace E. James accepted his defeat for the office of Secretary of State good-humoredly and thankfully. His friends gave him a willing support but they were not sufficiently numerous to carry him through. The following is the vote: Emanuel R. Hawn, of Crawford county; IL J. Lockhart, of Delaware county; Joseph Y. Ballou, of Cass county;lsaac H. Montgomery, of Tipton county, and Horace E. JameS, of Jaapsr county, were named for Domination. The ballot resulted: Hawn-; 361; Locldtart, 189|; James,*l76; BkUou, 9?|; Montgomery, 208. The next ballot resalted in a nomination, Hawn receiving 535 votes; the Others having, Lockhart, 102; Ballou, 30; Montgomery 211, aud James, 147. .

The Supreme Court of Indiana has declared the State Constitutional Amendments, voted on at the spring election, unconstitutional. The amendments were passed by a Democratic legislature and overruled by Democratic Judges,consequently it is a Democratic measure. The constitution says any amend' meat to the instrument, aftei being adopted by two successive Legislatures, shall be submitted to the voters of the State, “and if a majority of said electors shall ratify the same, such amendment, or amendments, shall become * part of this constitution.” The Democrats commenced opposing these amendments when they learned that the Republicans were in favor of them, and being defeated at the polls they importuned the Supreme Judges to declare them unconstitutional, in which they were successful. The Supreme bench is occupied by two Republicans and three Democrats, and the last named declared that a “majority of said electors” means voters who did not vote as well as those who did vote, and those who did not vote they counted with those who voteef again st the amendments, thus defeating them. This is Democracy of the highest order, and worthy of every honest man’s—contempt. It really seems that Democratic officials of every grade can be bought and sold like pigs in the market, and perjure their souls for partisan purposes. By this decision the State election will be held in October, as heretofore.

No Nomination for Prosecuting Attorney.

The Republican Judicial convention which met at Goodland last Saturday, adjourned without nominating a candidate. Two or three unprincipled men from Benton county undertook to balldoze and ohoke out Dr. A. W. Wells, one of the regularly chosen delegates, and vote three unauthorized persons in bis stead, in order to get control of the delegation from that county. Finding these men deaf to every appeal for honesty, fairness and harmony, the whole of the Jasper delegation and one half of the Benton delegation withdrew from the convention, leaving less than a majority of the votes. Dr. Wells, whom the rabble sought to disfranchise, is one of the foremost citizens of Benton county, and esteemed by all of its good citizens without regard to party, for his good sense, intelligence and unquestioned integrity. He is in the fullest sense of the word a dignified gentleman —a true man. That he was the duly authorized delegate and entitled to cast the vote, there was no question. He represented one-sixth of Benton county, or over two hundred votes. No excuse nor pretense of reason for their insult to him and his constituents. When these facts had been ably, logically and dispassionately presented to the convention and the representatives of Mr. Bishop from Newton county persisted in acting with the men who seemed to be leading a mob rather than conducting a convention, the delegation from Jasper and one-halt of the delegates from Benton withdrew on the distinctive statement that they could not lend themselves to a palpable and highhanded fraud. The unauthorized persons for Benton then joined with the Newton delegates and went through the form of nominating Mr. Bishop, claiming 20J votes, but as they had only 17| votes and less than a majority, ot course their pretended action will be treated as null and void and Mr. Bishop will not be recognized as the nominee of the Republican party.

The Democratic congressional convention, held at Monticello, last week, did the party in this district great injustice by selling it out to the Greenbackers in confirmation of Skinner, the G. B. nominee. Several of the more honest Democrats bolted the convention, swearing they would not be bound by it. The Rochester Sentinel, one of the most reliable and influential Democratic organs m this district, says: There appears to be a lack of harmony in the party over the nomination made that will result in no good in the election. If Mr. Skinner wants to be_ the <€andidate of both parties he must choose which one be will serve and allow the other the privilege of supporting him if it chooses to do so. Unless he is willing to make a public pledge that he will support the Demooratic national, State, district and.local tickets, no Democrat is under obligation to vote for him. Democrats of this county want to know whose candidate he is, and if he cannot tell, we insist that another conyention be called and a man nominated about whom there is no question as to which party he trains with. If Mr. Skinner gives proof that he is for the Democratic nominees throughout, and will support Democratic measures if he should be sent to Congress, this county will give him a liberal support. A failure to do so within a. reasonable time will necessitate the dhoice of another candidate. The Indiana Eclectic Medical Association at the annual meeting, in May, passed the following resolutions: 'll Ist, That the Indiana Eclectic Medical Association will indorse a bill regulating the practice of medicine in this State, provided the act is impartial and grants equal rights and privileges to the members of each school of medicine in Indiana. 2d, That we reoommend the bill proposed by Dr. Leah, substituting, however, “State Boards” in lieu-of “District Boards,? said boards to meet at the capital. -.

A HARD FIGHT.

[later Ocean.] The election law* now ia force are stumbling blocks in the way of the Democratic leaders. Their efforts to repeal them failed only because President Hayes stood firm. Their efforts to render them of Utile effect, or their attempts to destroy the national authority, are thwarted by the last veto message of the President. The Democratic leaders desire to escape Fender al supervision in New York and the Southern States, because with voters exercising their rights, and with frauds prevented, Democratic majorities will disappear. The removal or crippling of deputy marshals is a strong feature of their programme, -and other features cover schemes looking to the control of the Presidential election, or, failing in that, to the management of the electoral count.

The importance and significance of the President’s last veto are fully apparent when the facta and circumstances of the next Presidential election are considered in connection with the spirit that is likely to prevail in the Democratic party at that time. It is a notorious fact that hundreds of prominent Republicans have declared, within the last few months, that all the Southern States are hopelessly Democratic. With Republicans conceding this, Democrats are justified in claiming that their candidate for President will receive the 138 electoral votes of the sixteen Southern States. Certainly he will on the programme followed at the last Presidential election.

In the Northern States we will have substantially the same conditions as in 1876. The Republicans have made a strong nomination. The Democrats will make a strong one, with New York in mind, and there will be a third ticket in the field to gather up the stragglers. In 1876 Hayes received 166 electoral votes from the eighteen Northern States of California, Colorado, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Tilden received the 65 electoral votes of Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, and New York. Several of the States were very close. California gave Hayes a majority of 2,805; Illinois gave Hayes a plurality of 19,631 and a majority over Tilden and Cooper of 2,298. In Oregon the plurality was 1,057 and the majority 547. In Ohio the plurality was 5,441 and the majority over all 2,951. In Indiana Tilden had a plurality over Hayes of 5,515, but as against Hayes and Cooper was in a minority by nearly 4,000 votes. In Connecticut Tilden’s plurality wao 2,900; bis majority over all was 11,731; in New York his majority over all was 30,755. Last year in California the Republican candidate for Governor had a plurality of 20,319, the vote standing 67,985 Republican, 47,647 New Constitution and Democratic, and 44,482 for the Workingmen’s ticket In Maine the Republican candidate for Governor had a plurality of 21,176, but was in a minority as against the Democrats and Nationalists. In Ohio. Foster, for Governor, had a plurality of 17,000, and a majority over all of 3,352. In New York, Cornell, Republican, had a plurality of 42,777, but as against the other three candidates in the field was in a minority by 59,512 votes. At the last State election in Indiana, in 1878, the Democratic plurality was 14,113; but the combined vote of the Republicans and Nationalists exceeded the Democratic vote by 25,3Q2. It will be seen that there is in all the great States an uncertain element, which the Democrats hope to take advantageof? They will nominate candidates to carry New York and Indiana, which, with the vote of the South, will give them 188 electoral votes, leaving New Jersey and Connecticut out of the list; losing New York, and carrying Connecticut, Indiana, and New Jersey, and the South, they will have 168 electoral votes, and will depend on trickery in Maine, Oregon, and California to give them the others. Carrying New York and New Jersey, and losing Indiana and Connecticut, as seems probable, they would have 182 electoral votes and the Republicans 187. In such a case the Democrats will be prepared to count in their candidate. The Democratic leaders ar.e making the fight on the deputy marshals bill for the sake of carrying New York and to make sure of their hold on the? Sonth. They made the fight onMorgan’selectoral-count proposition With the idea of throwing out the Jyote of any State in case of a close contest. In many cases their schemes in Congress have been masked, but their constant aim has been to shape legislation to serve their purposes in case of ariose vote on President. Last year the Republicans of the Northerh States, alarmed by the attitude of the Democratic majority in Congress, swept every State in which elections were held. Their only hope of success is in manifesting the same spirit in the coming Presidential campaign. The mar gin for success is very small, but tne Republican majority must be so large that the Democrats will have no pretense for the employment of the means at band to precipitate trouble. And that the Republicans may have this majority they must carry every State that went Republican in 1876, and in addition New York, Indians, and Connecticut. With Garfield as a candidate, his record on the Chinese question being satisfactory to the Pacific States, Calif irnia may be counted reasonably sure for the Republicans. Connecticut, with four candidates in the field last year, gave a plurality of 2,482. The probabilities are all in favor of her giving Garfield a good majority. New Jersey last year elected a Republican Legislature, and it is possible that Garfield may carry the State. New York on a fair count is Republican. With the deputy marshals in the city to- prevent fraud, and the good work in the State-outside, the eleot-

- .JI *1. A oral vote may w ocw. Bat look which way tne Mepti oilcans will there ia a hard fight before them. They must nerve themselves to the work and enter the campaign with the determination and spirit that carried them to a sweeping victory in 1872.

THEY WONT BE SOLD.

The Journal cornea pretty near being a prophet. Weeks ago said the Democratic convention at Monticello would endorse Skinner, and that such endorsement would cause a split in tne ranks of the party. There was a feeling of certainty about this matter that made us hope for such a result. Had Skinner not been endorsed he would have thrown up the Greenback nomination, and Republican success would have been assured. As it stands now -the split ia one that will grow in width and intensity. The honest portion ot the Democracy, that portion who are Democrats from principle, do not believe in permitting a weak faction of voters to dictate nominations for their party. They are opposed also to the financial vagaries of the Greenbackers, and are not willing to forsake their principles and to help advance merely for the sake of defeating a Republican, Third parties are only built up by the mistakes of the stronger party accepting their candidates, thus helping them tn place and power. The Democratic leaders in their Greed for power, have been led time and again to help elect a Greenbacker, furnish-*

wgDine-Umth. of the votaj. The honest musea of the party here n- 1 assert’ that if they are to choose from outside their own party they will take a Republican in preference to a Greenbaeker, it an alliance into be made they will make it with « party great in numbers and In principle rather than with a party weak in numbers,and whose principles are the ysgaries of diseased brains. It is too soon yet to tell just what shape this revolt in the Democratic party will take, but it can have but one good result to the country and to the party. To the country the good result will be the election of a Republican, to the Democratic party it will be in the fact that it will teach the leaders of the party that the honest masses are not to traded like cattle, simply to secure the defeat of another party. The men who thus refuse to be bought and sold like sheep in the shambles, may make a nomination, and fight for their priifciples, though failure is certain, or they may in this Congressional matter cast their lot with the Republicans.
