Rosebud every Friday night. / will lell you whom I think the Republicans should nominate and whom I consider their strongest man; he it a true man, a man of principle, an honest man, and would make a good President for us all. Personally, I consiaer him the best man you could nominate. I refer to General James A- Garfield, of Ohio- — Hou. 1 homaa A. Heudicka, in May, 1180.

Supreme courts must be taught not to overtarn the fair decisions ol the ballot-box. - Free speech, a fair ballot, an<? the honest eonnting o-t ballotts, in every part of the Union alike, is the demand of the Republican party. It is a litria hard on Bro. Mo : E ven we think that Nickel should pie ice the public printing' to the Remington Rsporlet in case of his •lection to offi.e.

We Buppoae ot course Niokel will expect milage for bi* services in carrying tbe public printing to aud from Remington when he gels into tbe sheriffs office. The Valparaiso Metsengtr thinks that John N. Skinner should be elected to Congress because he wears a No. 9 boot. Time wan when the head nnd not the feet were measured in the selection of lax makers.

The mission of the Republican party is not completed until every citizen-of the United States who is entitled to vote is allowed to cast his ballot as he pleases, in any state where ho lives, and have his ballot ■ honestly counted. They think one thousand dollars about lhe sum they could use for the benefit nf the Democratic party in Jasper county. W. H. English would hardly let them have that amount without a mortgage on unincumbered real estate. fl’e .cau’t see any reason why Nickel should want to carry (he patronage c.f his office to a printer at Remington when McEwen is right hen* in Rensselaer, running the “official organ” and working and praying earnestly for Nickel's ' 3 ICC <83.. Douihit seems determined not to take our advice not to be seen with Plunkett. Well if he is bent on ruining his character and destroy jng his chances for election we cancot help it. We have given fair warning. We feel that we have done our duty. Th* miiMOu of th* Republican party is not fulfilled until every citizen of the United States is per fectly secure in person and fame when making expressions o> 1:1* opinion* regarding qu'-slions of public policy in that person may reside or sojourn. ’A hen Nickel in case of his elec tion pledges the patronage of his i office to Cox of the Reiniiiaton, Re- . porttr in exchange for lhe inflhence ;of that sheet in the campaign, he ought to cork Cox a little tighter or have him hooped np a little more substantially so that in his eagerness to grasp lhe tempting bauble he would not leak out lhe bargain to a third party.

One of a trio of Democratic or, ators who go out to shed their light upon the out townships said Gen. Garfield never was in a battle, tried t> prove his asscrtion.be asked it any one present ever saw him in battle. That was cbout nsconvinu. ing as the case of the Irishman who was accused of stealing a coat. His enemies proposed to prove him guilty by two witnesses who saw him taku it. The Irishman said he could prove by a hundred meu they didn’t see him take it.
