REPUBLICAN MEETINGS IN JASPER COUNTY.

A telegram from the Hou. Win fields. Bird of Ala, conveys the intelligence that on monday Oct 4 at Rensselaer cud Tuesday Oct 5 at Remington, he will tell the Greenbackers and others about the elections in Alabama. Green B. Raum of 111, and Hon. A. Hardy of Miss, will speak at Rensselaer at 2.*P. M. . Every body come oat and hear the troth about the Mississippi question. This meeting should be generally attended byour citizen. Let republican clnbs throughout the county take charge of the matter and see that the speakers have an appro \ priate bearing. Frank Landers can never aay 1, Franklin Landers, Governor oi the State-of Indiana. The Crown Point Star, hitherto democratic, is reported to be out for the republican noininees.*f The returns from the Maine eleor tion show a republican gain of over five thousand votes. Is that discouraging to republicans? English said “Damn the Irish, the country would be better off with out them, but Bill will not object to • Irish, votes in November. It is reported that Sitting Bull bat been secured for three years by a company of Canadians who will exhibit him through .the United 'States.

Democrats err fraud, because they are well versed and well prao- • Jfoed in its mysteries. Republicans .say nothing about it, because they know nothing about it. Dr. Harris, of South Bend, who Jias been prominently identified with the Greenback party in that city, recently joined the Republican ranks. —LaporU Herald- Chronicle. ; -dS* * r * ‘ The Democratic leaders now elakm that party helped put down the Rebellion. Even MoEwen claims it. Well they did we acknowledge, resolving in 1864, that they were. opposed to the prosecution of the war. 4 Several republicans have been lately by democrats with the proposition that they should vote for Nickel while the Democrats agreed in consideration to vote for sotpe republican candidate. Home rule, state rights, and sovereignty are one and the same. Calhoun advocated it The southern rebels fought for it. Northern copperheads are its advocates and the Democratic party favors itlto day.

John S. Williams loudly denounced bondholders and capitalists the other night, John must have forgotten the bonds held by English and * about his own little three-ball shaving shop down there on Columbia street in Lafayette. Ah John you'r not discreet. J.-N. Skinner was billed for a speech at Kentland a few days since and was there on time, but his democratic managersinconseltaUoo decided thatit was not beet to take the risk, as John might open bag and let the eat slip out ae be did at Crown Point recently. '

Demot-iats art* ottering to trade Welsh for Nickel votes. The Democrats in 1879 had 21,77$ votes in ‘Maine, the GreenbackwrAhad 47,500. Weaver saya the Democrat* alone could not hare carried the state by 4U,000 votes Y el with a loud blast of trumpets a Democratic victory is claimed. It must be pleasant to the Green, backers. We know of ceveral domocrata who are trying, to trade Henry Welsh, the best man on their ticket for Niokel votes. We think they will find that republicans have to much respect for their honor and dignity, to be caught selling them•elves for auy prioe, much leas for a Nitkle.

The South Bend Tribune reports that a Mr. Barnes a workman iu the Singer factory of that place, being disgusted with scurrilous carictnre upon his employer, Mr. Pine, in a democratic proccssiou there the other night, though horetofore n democrat* determined to act tore with the republican party. At a democratic meeting the other day in Bentoo county, addressed by Dr. Grant of Wolcott, at the close of the meeting the chairman proposed three cheers for. the' speech, which were given. There upon one of the over sanguine auditor! proposed three cheers for Hancock and the southern confederacy.

] In conversation here on Monday with a couple of gentleman, Hon. John N. Skinner declared he was opposed to any increase of the currency, that there was a sufficiency of it But ou reaching Morocco, he was in favor of increasing the currency to fifty-five dollars per capita. This is the kind of juggler he is He is practicing the boldest deceptionfonthe people, and expects to win by it. Kentland Gazette. v

Ample arrangements have been made to make the soldier’s reunion, at Remington Oct., 6 and 7, a grand affair. It will be a good opportunity for soldiers to renew old assoialions and for the citizens of the surrounding country to witness all of the arrangements for army life. Old battle flags will be on the ground. Eminent speakers, old soldiers, will be present. A sham battle will take place. On the oecond day a grand picuio din-, ner will be given by the citizens. Every body attending will bring plenty of eatables and spread their dinner at the grand banquet board where all will participate together in the feast.

No Republican should be induced to trade votes on any candidate. The Republican ticket all the way through is composed of men every way worthy ot the confidence and suffrages of the people; and -every Republican should think enough of his political principles to give his own candidate a hearty support. Republicans; remember that it is easy for Democrats to promise to trade, but they are just smart enough to vote a straight ticket on election day, and laugh‘in their •leeves to think by their treachery they succeed in inducing a Republican to scratch his ticket. It would be well to consider this mat ter seriously and determine to take your politics straight.

Last week’s Remington Reporter, with regard to the coining election . says: As far as the state, it matters but little, but our county offices should be supplied with men of talent, honesty' and enterprise. Now as usual, Cox is a 'Meelle off.” He’s excited, and be needs a wet blauket to restore a normal condition of his heated pulse. He lives in anticipation, does Cox. It is said that he admitted Nickel pledged him patronage in exchange for bis - wind, and therefore the men that are to fill the state offices are of little importance as to ability. Most any kind of timber will do the county offices must be *upplied*wilh talent, and God save os, Nickel is the man- Well Cox, we throw ap the sponge, take the belt .boy.

i Editor Republican. To stop false reports that are in circulation, I will Ray that at the approaching election 1 will vote a straight republican ticket I bsve done at every election since 1856 with one exception one township ticket. Do not infer from the above that lam a blind partisan, held by party name and prejudice to the endorsement of every thing by the republicans, lam and have been a republican as a matter of duty to God and Country and wnile this conviction remains with me 1 will remain a republican, the treatment received by me at the bands of men c«6r never drive me from what I believe to be correct prindpies, I say to my personal friends do not allow your sympathy for me to influence yon to tho least bat work and vote just as you would have done had we been successful.

Our County Ticket.

The time is close at when we must decide as to our choice of candidates for the different offices to be filled. In the case of State and National tickets we believe every republican is determined to vote anunscratched ticket, we believe that republicans and intelligent voters every 1 where realise deeply the necessity of standing firm against the willy

pretentious encroachments of the democracy, and will wisely choose on the day of election, Garfield and I the repubhen ticket National and Sate, but we know from past observation, the magnanimous spirit that actuates republicans at the time of voting as in other things We know that from the promptings of friendship or considerations of locality they sometimes scratch tMir ticket when .voting for local o«ccrs and instead of* choosing their own candidate vote for the

opposition. Now this migtii do well enough la extreme case#, tat we ire eertsin that sash extreme ease* are rerjr few. We are irate opinion that republicans seldom fall to nominate men to loeal oflnee who are as well known for honesty, and capability as the beet men democracy produces for the highest ofßees. Snch men we are proud to say compose the republican ticket ot Jasper comity in Ute present campaign. and we believe them entitled to the support of every man who desires the upright management of county affairs. There ie not a candidate on the ticket whom evert voter cannot support and feel that be has done what he onght.

THE RALLY OF MONDAY.

A Field Day For Republican* 8,000 People on the Stotts of Rensselaer and 400 Torchlights la tie Procession at Right , The Largest Crowd Srer I Witnessed in Town. Mx Caveat, aad Fear Martial Bands la the Tnr nsrioa. Diaooorstaf teal tttrrtaf Mari* to the Gathered WilHfidti Grand Speeches by Hon. Albert «. Porter, Col. Ed Wolf and Senator Flcro.

Monday was a grand day for Re publicans of Jasper county. It had been previously announced that Albert G. Porter and other speak-, era would address the people at Rensselaer. When the announctnent was made, but little time remained for preparation. All vu done that could be done, fn the brief space of time allotted for arrangements, to notify the people of the coming of the next governor, but all unnecessary. Spontaneously, seemingly the growth of an hour, as early as eight o’clock, the eager and expectant multitudes from every direction began to appear on the streets, and one o’clocx found at the lowest responsible estimate eight thousand people on our streets. Immense delegations came from several townships and from Newton, White, Benton and Carrolloounties, accompanied by Cornet and Martial bands, with banners flying, splendidly decorated wagons, brilliantly caparisoned horeee and bright and happy men, women and ohildren. At eleven o’cleck the procession formed in line and paraded the principal streets of our little oily and were carefully counted, the oouut making in the proces sion 2,752 people. At one o’clock thia procession was augmented by the arrival of between tour and five hundred persons on the Narrow Guage, accompanied by the speakers Albert G. Porter, Col. Ed. H. Wolfe end Senator Fiero.

It is estimated that the crowd upon the sidewalks was much greater than in the procession. It had been published that a flag would be presented to the township having the largest delegation in proportion to population. The committee having decided this matter, at two o’clock in a neat speech M. L. Spitler presented the flag to Ntwton township,• it having the largest delegation ac cording to the arrangemen t. The flag w sis received and response made by Mr. John Sayler, marshal of Newton township club. After songs by the inimitable Charley Davis of Kentland, and the Glee Club of Rensselaer, M. F. Chileote stepped forward and introduced Mr. Porter as the first Speaker, who. when be stepped to the front of the platform was greeted with round upon round 6f deafening applause. The speech of Mr. Porter was marked by the fairness and gentlemanly way in which he refered to his competitor and the sound logical manner in which he treated Ike subjects that make ap the issues before the people. It was a speech worthy of the earnest and thoughtful consideration of every vj>ter. Space forbids us to discuss rc nt length, and the vastaudience makes it unnecessary, for we believe the majority of the intelligent voters of the county were there and the intense interest depicted on every countenance assures us that each one drank the masterly argument made by the speaker. Col. Wolfe followed Mr. Porter in one of the most enthusiastic speeches we have beard in the campaign- • He unravoled completely, the record of the Democratic party and showed it up in all its black and damning reality; he aaade an earnest and feeling appeal to the veterans of the war and nototie but felt and acknowledged the fores of hiß argument and the necessity for deciaivi action in 1880 as much as when we were endangered by the threats ot the Democratic confederacy in 1861.

After an hour's intermission, at the firing of the anvil (the Democrate had oapturod the Union ordinance and oommander) the bands of which there was six gathered to contest for tbe prises that had been offered. Some misunderstanding as to the arrangement caused the Monticelio and Delphi bands to withdrew from the contest. The four bands that participated were awarded the prizes in the order named: Kentland, $25; Fowler, s2s; Remington, $18; Morocco, sl7. The drill parade of uniform companies was next in order and by them a fine display was made. The award of the was made by the committee to the Goodland com pany and ;n an eloquent and firing speech presented by Elza L Phillips Response was made by Ed Hall of Goodland. Mr. Wolie was then

called for and from the baleony of the Opera House nude a short speech to the large orowd below. Mr. hiero was then oalled oat and appeared with a short and wittv speech bristling all over with point, ed troths oondemn stive of Democratic policy. Mr. Fiero was physically incapacitated tor ont of door •peaking and consequently bis remarka were brief. 7 & As condition in JecporToMty.

Mr. Editor: WiU yon allow apace in yonr paper for the following -explanation due by reason of a temporary misunderstanding with the Cornet Banda at the Republican Grand Rally. I was 61i airman of the advertising committee and am responsible for the promised attractions. Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan’* name appeared in The Indianapolis Journal as speaking at Rensselaer September 27, 1880, and he ~jpas, advertised, but otbur arrangement* were made by the State Central, committee and Mr. Fiero appealed* 1 in his stead.

A Band tournament wet advertised in our paper and on the large bills. Upon foil consultation it was thought no time eould -be speared and a plain letter of instructions was prepared sod mailed to the leaders of the Cornet Banda at Delphi, Montieello,* Idaville, Fowler, Kentland, Morocco sod Remington. Thia letter wad received in doe tiiae being mailed on .the 22nd inat., and the Bands fatly understood or eonld have understood how the 8 80, paid in by oar citizens for mnsio wonld be distributed as appears by the statement of the Delphi Band hereto appended as follows :

To whom it may concern. We the members of Latbrcpe'is Band, ot Delphi,’, do in justice to, our-dves and the .-utizens of Rensselaer engaged in lhe management of the Grand Porter Rally -on Sept. 27, !HBo. make the following statement ; There w'.-»s a tenr.porary misunderstanding with so me of oar band. The matter -was full f explained this morning and tin- fuuJt was with us.

We unde:rstand each baud rcoeived an exact facsimile of this letter previous to starting to the rally as we did.

Politically, Democracy takes the belt for claiming and insisting that it has a thing it has not. A tew weeks ago it was slated on good authority by many Republican newspapers, that W. C. De Pauw and Son 6, ot New Albany, with several of their Democratic workman, had abaudoimd the Democracy and would vole llio Republican ticket, where upon Democratic sheets pronounced the statement a fabrication.

The following telegram ..to the Inter Ocean is significant, and ill us trates the extremes to which Democrats will resort to bolßtcr up their rapidly sinking cause: , South Bend", Indiana, September 22.—The Democratic papers all over the Stale have either been claiming that the lion. W. 0. De Pauw, the great New Albany manufacturer, was not a Democrat, or that he had not changed over to the Republican party, as reported. The JJaily Tribune this evening prints l he following correspondence, which fully settles this matter; Office Studebaker Bros., ) Manufacturing Company, >■ South Bend, ludiaua, Sept; 8. ) The Hou. W. (J.DePauw, New Albany, Indiana. Dear Sir: In conversation with you, some tirnfee since, I gained the impression that you coincided with me in the belief that the success] of the Republican party in the coming election was a thing to be greatly desired, both by manufacturers and their employees: 1 have so stated severla times in this city, but the inclosed extract Irom your Democratic paper here discredits what I have said on the subject. Please write me the facts about your position in this matter; and I would be glad if you wonld consent that such information should be made public, or at least that I may have permission to show the same to my friends. No mao in the State stands higher than yourself in commercial or business circles, and your views, as indicated at the present time, would have great weight. There has never been an election since I have attained to years of maturity in which I have taken so deep an interest as in this one, be* lieving as I do that it would be a real calamity to the oountry to disturb by a change the existing prosperity now everywhere apparent, and daily becoming more assured. Very truly yours,
