Wonder what was the Price ol those letters of acceptance? _ Those letters of acceptance all bear the mark of the same Price. Hon. G. S. Orth has received the Republican nomination for Con gress in the ninth disttiot. 'The Price ofleturr of acceptance is at a premium. After Octobtr they will be likely in Burnham. Albert G. Porter ia very highly commended by all for his statesm nlike opening of his canvas for governor. The joke is on Alf., but don't fool yourself, he'll have the line it that Commissioners' district surveyed again. Mac has just received a fresh batch of De Goyler and Credit Mobelier stock which he' will 'dieh out to bis suffering readers. * Faank W, Babcock one of the bravest and truest Republicans in our county, and ready to do his duty-in the present campaign. William W. Gilman is one of the beat men in Newton county, and will make fan able and true repre aentativc. ■ He should receive an old time majority in Jasper county. Our Irish brethren all over the couotry are waking up to the fact that the Democratic party does not own them, and cannot with impunity treat them .merely as voting- cat' tie. Those Republicans who want to know what manner of- man James A. Garfield ir should read the scholarly analysis of bis character in the August nfimber of the At lantic monthly. The Democrats of the seventh c ingressional district nominated Casabianca Byfield for representative in Congress) De La Matyr had no recognition at the bonds of the •onvention. He will have to apply to conference for a location.

The letter of acceptance ot the , Republican presidential candidates arc full of logical thought and •t uesmanlike There oan be no mistaking their position f the great questions of the day. With Garfield and Arthur as their leaders, Repub.icans cau confidently expect success in the eoming ooftteat —SomeGreenbackers, of the Denio order are feartul mad this week. Their p >iitleal toes have been trod den apon. H hen we refer to a sale they are mad, if we demominate them Democrats they get mgrjjmd il we i.ricideutly mention telegrsphv their fnry knows no bonnds. If they did not herd with the Democrats we would not be led tq the inference that the principles of Democracy are theirs.. Had they not dearly attempted a sale of their party we could not justly make a statement to that effect. If they would refer tb any speciat incident in their former lives, which the mention of telegraphy would load people to infer that any indiscreet action was intimated, we would willingly, yes gladly explain the matter to onr readers, so that, if' possible,, they might be placed n a proper light before the world. If the Democrats and their allies desire a fair comparison of Garfield and Hancock aa to their fitness for the office of President of the United States without reference to political affiliations, the Republicans of Jasper scanty are willing to have their merits pub Italy discussed at the Court House at any coo* venient time, by: a supporter of Gar. living In Jasper county and a supporter of Hancock living in Jaafer county,selected by bis friends—t is eaaiar to rathe assertions than prove them.

Political Contest 1880.

Then it earn* to paaa that the head okieft and bote* of { the twp factions of “Out*** toot counsel bow they might carry on their war fare against the “Ins.” - The greet bead bos* end the dictator decreed end commanded that the Jkv o factions should, in order to nragatfy and unify their strength, swallow each other wholly end completely without the toes of e men. The order was proclaimed to the aiTniea of “Outs" to eland by the ooalition. The rank and file were simply to obey orders. It was ananimonaly agreed that the gullet-bag of the Democratic faction was more used to strange food since th* days of H. G: It was therefore ordered to com thence with e tonic and , A ia» national dinner Ot one John Neuter Skinner, Wse bolted Sown raw Into the Democrat mew. It loved it, that Skinner end came oat e winner.

The Democrat oooks then consulted the books and proposed la Welch meal on Nicbells, no Douthitt *twaa healthy, and the National bosses and ringstera said: “Dod Burnham we’ll down *im. !f - Then wftbe not liking rude meakABolted and took to their heels. ’ This was cruel, bat they eoold not be quiet on Democrat diet. They talked mlphty rough. They neTer eoold swallow A dinner so torgh, * They'd rather»t*/ hollow. And said with emphasis true and rhythmical: We very well know, The maw of a National While stuffed full at crow, WH never feel raitooal. The bostes and ringsters tossed thrir heads and muttered, mutiny then mustering courage said, “we’ll make them swallow it: The wire heads ana bones Seemed bothered and chanced While emitting their tosses • From plans thus deranged. * The bead boss looks sober. The ring is in doubt, - w Fartao Weaof oetbber Will soon come about.

Can Greenback-Nationals Reasonably Coalesce with the Democracy?

In 1882 and 1863 the Democratic party was the uncomprumising foe of national legal tender ourrency. In 1872 they declared for immediate resumption of specie payments. In 1876 they favored the repeal of the resumption act as a hindranoe to resumption of specie payment. In 1880 they declares for home rule and gold, silver and paper convertible nto coin on demand. The doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party as.expressed in juidical opinions and legislative enactments all favor tree state bank currency. The highest Democratic legal authority sa}B of the legal tender decision reported in 12 Wallace,. 457. “ The opinion went forth without authority and will go without respect.” The Democratic charter is opposed to the very name ot National. The pledge of an in. 'dividual candidate on the Democratic ticket that be will favor “all paper money being issued directly by the nation with full legal tender quality” is on its face a sham and unworthy of true statesmanship*

Jn a coalition of the advocates of “wild cat state paper” and the friends of “National legal tender paper” it seems to us somebody will surely be sold out. The old' champions of slavery and wild cat money may be as “wise as serpenta but not harmless as doves.” The old ’bourbon party thirst for power and it is not in the dove business at present. I> is using the Nationals to help it to borne rule and state currency. Honest voters who want the National legal tender currency to be sustained and perpetuated should look for its champions as tar from the State supremacy Demo cracy as possible. The success ol the Democratic party will be the death knell of all National paper money. National Greenbackers cannot reaaonably 'coalesce with a party whose principles are so diametrically oppoeed’to their own as are the principles of the Democratic party.

Mud S1iuging in Politics.

Our party newspapers seem disposed to bear the vile slanders heaped upon the men whose names appear on our National, State and County tickets. It seems that refutatiou ia without effect on the Democratic newspapers, who constantly tvnitb the fame of indivi* duals by falsehood. . To aoswer- a slander will not eiience the vile traduoer of character V - : / r : .

This being true what ia our

to lha. doctrine of Bff semptMary shower the tainting arrows of mi and - er and libel upon oar best men. A lie believefi in ns damaging hi its immediate effect as accepted troth. The Democrats and their allies have introduced the Greek fire of personal villification of candidates, and the question presents itself as how wa shall meet this. If we remain quiet some will be Ind astray on the donbtfnl maxim that “silence gives consent.” It would be better to let the villifiers of a candidate for president die with their aspisb covering about them, but the mental and moral aoumen of ordinary men is not keen enough to pierce the glamour ot lias, sad tee the great men beneath. This greatest number of clubs are cast at the tree bearing the most and beat fruit. It often proves, that tho man about whom the vile dogs of slander are barking loudly is the embodiment ot goodness and greatness. Our Savior himself thus suffered yet he remained th* God of purity and charity, enduring all things with becoming meekness. He said of those vile Jewish Democrats who compassed'him with oalummy and falsehood, “Lord for give them, they know notwhatthey do.” So for the comfort no doubt of the infidel, band-box candidate of the Democracy, and in contrast to fiia own experience He says, “Woe un6o you when all men shall •peak well of you,” for §o they do of all false prophets, and to ourown great and good candidate He says, “Blessed are ye when men shall say all manner of evil against you falsely.” We wish that national politics was confined more tor matters of policy and we had less of orgumentvm ad kominem. We are net charitable enongb, when smitten on one cheek to offer (be other also, but advise the Democrats who choose to reproach our candidates, not to stare at the Republican moles of wrong and perceive not the Democratic beams of iniquity. In due time if the warfare of lampooning and detraction is adhered to by our enemies, we may upon provocation strike back, and of coarse will strike to hurt We shall provoke no personal warfare. We support the entire Republican ticket and believe every man on that ticket is the peer of hia opponent in “ability, honesty and fitness.” “Slander, that worst of poisons, ever finds an early entrance to ignoble minds,” and hence a campaign of this sort is not a creditable one, and we have been waiting patiently for our brother across the hall to distribute those columns of typical falsehood and give General Garfield a little rest. Thus far we have not deemed it prudeDt to notice these irresponsible flings and still believe it will smother to death in its own slime.

Order No. 40 of Gen. Winfield S. Han cock.

In April, 1867, an act of Congress was passed declaring that there was no legal civil governments in, the States of Lonsiana and Texas, and that they should constitute one military district; and making ihe military power of the United States superior to the rebellious civil powers in those States. The act also provided for the registering of voters, and the suspension of elec tIOUR. This law was passed over the veto of Andrew Johnson the pi-esi dent, and he determining if possible to make the same of no effect, to nullify legislation, lemoved Gen Sheridan from the command of this military district, who had been appointed according to law, and authorized Gen. Hancock to succeed him against the wishes of General Grant. Gen. Hancock went as the agent of Andrew Johnson to nphold “my policy” against the laws of Con gress. Gen. Hancock was a fit and willing tool for this unlawful and unpatriotio work when he assumed command at New Orleans, be virtually ignored the act of Congress, and directed the illegal State governments to resume what he oailed their lawful dominion. Says he “All crimes committed in this district mint be referred to the (illegal) civil authorities, and they will be supported.”

The act of Congress provided that all classes rtiight be citizens, but tbe rebel State law only allowed this privilege to the whites. The law of Congress permitted all el asses to vote ; the rebel State law only allowed those whites having a certain- amount of property this right. Gen. Hancock chose to violate a law of Congress at tbe dictation of an unfaithful, an&nngnaeefal president, and out of hicowa free will, as a bid for rebel support Order No. 40, was a direct assault upon a law of Congress, and was rightly eoudemned then 4i it *bou|B‘ Q|: Mfr, ... Congress declared that until the State of Louisiana should adopt a Republican- form of government,

Hancock at its bead should cxiat The latter assuming the power in ctdent to military rule, at once sur rendered it to the rebellious unreDoblican government, then claimed to be in existence in Louisiana. He attempted, as a satraD to nullify a law of the United States of Americat General Grant revoked Ida orders, how eve#, and very soon Gen. Hancock test New Orleans In the night, and wa* succeeded by Gen. Buchanan. Gen. Hancock was in command of the Fifth dia. trict from November 29. 1867, to Haroh 2, 1868, a little over three months. Gen. Sheridan had been In command from March 19 to November 29, 1867. A State con at station was agreed upon by a convention in session from November 23, 1867, to March 9, 1368. This constitution was ratified by a vote of 06,162 Republicans in favor, to 48,739 Hancock Democrats against. Thus ended the arbitrary dictatorship ot General Wii.ficld S- Hancock at New Orleans.

This career of three months filled with horror and consternation all union loving Republicans, and met the hearty approval of treaaousteeped rebels, aud thus gavb Hancock a start as a candidate for president. He is now supported by tbe same class of people. In the convention of 1868, be received the votes of the southrons at New York. He is now nominated, and bis infamous aud stubbon career at New Orleans serves aa a charter of faith to hia supporters, aud ia his guarantee ot statesmanship. The general proposition that the military power should be direolod by tbe civil power should in limes of tranquility and peace, but in tue 6th military district from April, 1867, until April, 1808, there was no legally organized State government, and the military government was supreme, aud Order No. 40, was on its face a deceitful falsehood. Gen. Hancock tndearud himself by this order to the 48,739 rebels who opposed Republican government, and was odious to the 06,162 union men who began a State government in April, 1868. The Democrats seem to make the most capital out of the most unworthy and'infamous acts of their celebrated candidate. From that three months career in the Louisiana district,- he was quickly recalled, and the people stamped the hollow sham under their feet at the election of 1868. The same Older No. 40 was the leading issue in the campaign of 1868, when Seymour rau agaiost U. S. Grant. Seymour received 80 electoral votes, while U. S. Grant received 214. If there ever was a questionable act committed by General Garfield* we can say it has been atoned for through his many deeds of statesmanship, but the Democrats refer to the worst acts of General Hanoock as gems in his crown of glory. This goe« to the fact that the Democratic party, as such, is “deceitful above all things aud desperately wicked.”

The Agricultural Fair of 1880.

Not least important among the enterprises in Jasper county as bearing upon the material welfare of the inhabitants and adding to their happiness, are the agricultural lairs held annually at Rensselaer. Last year tbe society w&s reorganized, or rather, a new society was organized which bought the franchises of the old one, made necessary repairs upon the grounds and buildings and held a success* ful fair. The new society is a joint stock organization, governed by a board of twelve directors, who are elected annually, owning its grounds and the appurtenances in tee sim* pie, is entirely out ot debt and has a small surplus in its treasury suf fioient to- meet current demands. Its affairs arO conducted uponstriot business principles, no debts being contracted without the means in hand to meet them promptly upon maturity. Every dollar that is received by the financial officers (who give good and sufficient bonds for the faithful discharge of their respective duties), mast be strietly accounted for; the system of checks aud counter checks being such that there can be no collusion, if any might be contemplated, of (he officers to defraud tbe society -of its moneys or benefits. Notwithstand ing the satisfaction universally expressed by the patrons of the sor oiety last year, the management feft that they bad been hurried and in eonseqnenee many details were necessarily left in- ah unfinished

condition, or were altogether omitted, and that with more time to de* vote to theii perfection roueb-hould be added to the attractions of the exhibitions. This year a revision has been- made in the list of premiums offered, and considerable pruning out was done in places that did not promts* benefit, either in promotibg the development of tbe resources of the county, tbe pie** sure of visitors, or the advantage of the society ; while other departments have been largefy stimulated by the increase of premiums thus made possible.-

Allen i. Yeoman la thin Tear an- i perintendent of the departments Loot os Strong anperlmendent of the eattle department; Samuel R. NieholHi will bare supervision of the exhibition of sheep and swine ; Dr. I. B. W ashburn is superintend, ent of the poultry department, which, it is confidently expected, will be the moat attractive exhibition of the kind shewn in northwestern Indiana, certainly the most attraetive ever seen in the county; William S. Coen will have general charge of exhibitions in the floral hall, and especial management of the departments assigned to vegetables and roots, grain and seeds, fruits, and productions in. leather; William W. Kenton will superin. tend the exhibition of farming implements, agricultural machinery, vehicles, wooden ware, ete.; Mrs. Cyrus J. Brown is Saperin tend ent of the department devoted to artioles of domestio skill, such as go to mske up the variety for a welllaid dining table and a well sup. plied larder; Miss Mollis Babcock is superintendent of ladies’ work and textile fabrics; Mrs. Alfred Thompson will superintend the ex hibition of flowers, both natural and artificial; John M. Wasson has charge of the miscellaneous attrao. lions that could not be otherwise conveniently classified; County Superintendent Nowels will superintend the school department—a sea tore introduced last year, ‘ which promises to be very interesting this season. These names carry with themselves a guaranty of complete success in each of the several departments. The general management of the fair is in bands that havehadyears of experience in matter of the kind, and they are determined that nothing shall be omitted which energy and enterprise can supply. Not the least commendable feature of these fairs is the entire absence from the grounds of every species of gamb* ling and swindling device. Neither wheels of fortune, pool banks, prize package sales, nor any other thing of kindred character, are permitted within the jurisdiction of the society. Premium lists may be bad by making personal application at the postoffice, or addressing a postal card to Horace E. James,; Secretary, Rensselaer, Indiana.

A Fair Minded Opinion in the Case of Garfield vs Hancock.

General Garfield by his own labor and effort became in tarn a good farmer, carpenter, teacher, lawyer, scholar, legislator, major-general, congressman, senator and statesman, and is only forty-nine years of age. General Hancock has been a ward of the nation for forty years and studied nothing but military ssience aud bas only rose to rank ol major* general and is fifty-six years old. As a military genius Garfield, a volunteer, attained the same rank in two years that Hancock aregular did in forty years. Garfield bas acted from ohoice and Hancock has always followed the suggestions of others. Garfield has made his own plans and Hancock bas merely executed the programme of bis superiors in rank. Garfield is a practical man in the affairs of citizenship and Hancock is nothing but a theoretical soldier. Garfield’s affections and sympathies are with the poor and lowly; he knows by- experience the stings of poverty. Hancock has always reveled an luxury affluence, and the government has always supplied his every want from childhood. Garfield is a humble man of the people. Hancock is a purely military aristocrat Garfield’s life was essentially civil; only in the country’s need did he don the trap-, pings of war. Hancock’s life from choice has been purely military and

except in time of war quite sedentary and indolent. Garfield knows the wants of the peopls. Hancock does not. Garfield’s presidency would illustrate the hum of industry and business. Hancock’s would ■avor ot the barracks and camp. Garfield would conduotbis high office with charity and humility, knowing that it was a trust imposed upon him as a servant for the whole people. Hancock, being taught to command would regard it as a new promotion in the army of which he has ever been an inseperabJe part from choice both in peaoe and war. Garfieid is a statesman, Hancock a mere cut and dried West Point soldier without one quality o? statesmanship. Garfield is famil* lar with all the qnettions of administrative policy in the nation, Hancock is a mere West Pointer without any experience outside of army routine and was never even entrust

ed with an independent command «f any important expedii ion. With all questions ot public policy, currency, revenue, internal improve* raents,constitutional interpretation, civil service reform, postal regulation, diplomacy in our foreign* re* 1 alfcm*, and public education, Gar' field is familiar, while Hancook is a novice without an 7 experience or knowledge. . Garfield’s administration would purely and simply refleot the wishes of the common people for the benefit

of the common people. Haneock’s tape of West Point and the exclusiveness of regular army headqu&t era. Let us think of the men, their habits of life, their surroundinjp, their experiences and characters. Garfield was a poor orphan and plodded his way sure and steadfast from ignorsnee to be the ripest of scholarly heroes, from poverty to a moderate fortune; he has been inured to phyaieal and brain wdrk all hia life, and haa never been idle. Har. cock has been the foster-child of the nation and needed no spur to effort; he has passed through the routine of army regulations tor forty years and bas no record as a practical man; be has a fine military bearing, and in a subordinate position has been a good soldier. Gar. field is all this and more. He is a great American civilian and the peer of the best statesman in the nation or in the world, The voter should study the lives of these men and if he is not bound by party ties choose between them and say, applying his own common sense and experience* which of these two men should be made chief magistrate of fifty mil lion of people straggling for an existence in a free country. The man who bas spent all his "life in the regular army as a subordinate offi. cer, breathed the exclusive atmosphere of aristocracy where no one is permitted to speak disrespectfully of officers, where absolute monarchy prevados as a rule and where the duties of subordinate officers except In actual battle are narrow and specific, and tfho without any civil experience is fifty-six years old. Or would you prefer a. man who has used the plow, shovel, boe, sickle, the carpenters plane and auger, who has been a boatman, a student and teacher in the common schools, a tutor in college, who became a ripe scholar by his own efforts, a college president, a state senator, a brilliant volunteer soldier rising quick to the rank of Major General, a leader iu congress for eighteen years, at the age of forty eight elected a senator of the United Slates and now at the age of fortynine the nomiuee for president of the United States. The West Point Cadet would and could have little fitness for these high civic duties. The citizens volunteer sol* dier s life has been so gentle and the elements of true greatness so mixed in him that the unbiased and indeed all men and nature might stand up and say to all the world; “This is a man.” The decision must be for Garfield.
