I refer to General James A■ Garfield , of Ohio.— Hon. Thomas A' Uendicks, in May, 1880.

I Vot* for Gen. Garfield early in ihe morning. Consider what Lee and Jackaon would do were they alive. Cltae up the Jines aud at ‘em again. Keep them on the run. The Near York Sun advises demo, crata not to bet on Hancock's election. Next Monday ia tho last day for yaying the taxes kelore llie-penahy is applied. i Be at the polls at 7-30 Tuesday morning ready to cast a vote for Garfield and Glory. The Democrat* are on a stil) hunt since, the election.. They need watching. “The defeat* and the continuous defeat ot the Democratic party is necewary.”—General Grant. The republicans of Indiana don’t oarer fur. any /change. They got what they wanted on the 12tb. Look out tor tickets headed Re publican but bearing the names of the democratic candidates. We have good reason to believe that suoh tickets are being printed. Major Calkins’ majority in the I3tb district is 1,164. Four years ago the democrats carried the district by 592 majority. The Major always runs well. The weight ot McEvens editorial labor last week affected him so serion&iy that he has nut not been able to make more {Ran one issue ot the S*ntin*l this week. He let the form fall, on his finger. Bishop Dwenger ofFort Wayne, ft is’reported^ith 2,500 Irishmen • f thalpiace voted for Porter. The Irish people are beginning to awaken to the fast that the democratic party ia but the American representative ot their British oppressor bsyond the water.

Gen. Hancock was asked what he thought of bi-metallic eurreucy. He replied: “That ia where the Greenbackera are right; if a man isn’t satisfied with paper money, he can bay metallic oorrenoy, as those who needed it did before resumption.l—Chicago Tima”

To those who are disposed to think that the Confederates accept the results of the war we present the following from the Meriden {Miss.) Merevry. “Convince ne that accession was revolutionary and folly, and yon take away the backbone which stiffens men to atand op and oppose the repablioan party to tha bitter end. It waa not the doctrine we held to when we committed the acts of secession. We held that it waa regalar, peaceable and constitutional ifti d.le "

Hancock eaye tariff Is a local (Tue-tiuu. Well he ia a local can didate. - V>• g| t Tfie ebst gun put op by Mr. Mock as a wager that Landers would be elected now belong* to the party who accepted* the wager. Doe. DePay, a representative Democrat of Wabash, petitioned for U. 8. supervisor* to watch the election in that town. The petition was granted and Doc wae the fire 1 victim. I}e vm arrested for making a false affidavit as to residence ol a man seeking to vote, aud wae ,‘odged in jail. —Peru Republican. Baumeister, of Lake Station, ono of the leading Democrats of that village, has come out for Garfield ami Arthur, hauled down the Hancock and English flag and eat down the pole. The converts to Repabli* canicm in this county will be numbered by the score before the Presidential election —Crown Point Reg inter.

John A. DePay a leading demo crat of Wabash was fnnnd guilty last Friday of attempting to vote illegally in connection-"with .a repealer named Lemon who also was found gniliy by the U. S. COmraie* eiener and both were bound over to await the of Judge Gresham of the U. 3 Court That Lemon came out squeezed.

A telegram from lion. W. D. Owen of Fowler, republican candidate for presidential elector for this district, informs us of his inability on account of sicknees to ad* dre.'s onr people on political topics before the election. We are sorry of this we bad hoped fpr a speech from Mr. Owen, and can assure the citizens of Rensselaer that they are deprived of a rare treat

It is reported that the result ot thd election on the 12th so disgusted Mr. Demthon, of Ross township that he said lie should take his axe, go tft MerritTville, and cat the Hancock pole to the ground, and that never again w#uld he votetheDemacrolic ticket. Mr. Deramon, your bead is level.— Crown Point Register.

The leaders es the Democratic party in Indiana are sending out to the party managers over the state circulars in which an earnest appea] is made that at least three more votes should be polled for the democratic ticket in November than in October. This means work for republicans. Every republican should realize that ranch depends on him alone—work that none other can do aB well.

The following from the Aiken* ('South Carolina) Journal and Review will bear csrcfnl pprusal |by men who believe in freedom of speech. The negroes are forming all over the country. It then behooves the democrats to go -to work at once and forestall the plans of the radicals. 1 The first thing to be done is to Reorganize the Red Shirt Mohnled Ciubs. Let every meeting Democrat or Radical, be fully attended by them.

In one of his speeches on th* Nebraska Bill Mr. English, democratic candidate for vice-president, said: “The men of the South have □ever'appealed in vain for a vindication of their constitutional rights, to their democratic brethren of the North. Such Sir, I believe wiil be the result of the present issue. The great mass of the democracy of the North will stand firm by the side of their Southern brethren in support of the principles of nonintervention and popular sovereignty. Republicans paid as high as S4O for votes on election day. —Miuma Sentinel. | We dont like to wear out onr pen oil saying the abpve is a lie, butjhe man is silly who would write suchslash. He knows there is a law to punish such offences* Why don’t h* resort to the proper authorities and thus vindicate the truth of his assertion, as well as bring to justice the ofenders. Too gauzy yLr.__§entinel.

Last week’s Fowler Era gives in lelligence of the death, at that place on tho 16th inst., of Willie Mock, foreman on the Era , and son of Rev. C. B. Mock the senior member of the Era firm. This is sad news to us who knew and esteemed the excellent qualities of mindi and heart that were characteristic of Willie. The Era truly says that Willie endeavored t#excel in every enterprise upon which he- entered. )Vt deeply sympathize with our .friends brother and sister Mock in their hour of trial.

What do loyal democrats who ▼ote the democratic ticket think of the following from Got. Vance of North Carolina?

U W« base got one more ohanoeto redeem oar eoanty. W» mast do it and we will! The Northern Democracy stands by ns yeti Now the great fight for the ten commandments is beginning anew and we are gding to win.” Will democrat* wbe regard loy.-; ulty stand by Vance, and will they help “redeem o.nr oonntry” with him? And do they consider the Democratic platform aa good as the ten command men ta, with Vance as Interpreter?

two or three weeks ago to the motion of some of our democratic neigh, bors in passing a two dollar greenback which sa we inferred from the conversation purported to have come from Mark L. DeMotte for the pur poee-of influencing votes in his favor' KnoWfttg tfie purity ofMr. DeMotte as a man and bis h purely ip politi. oal action, and understanding the intention of the parties in the way we did we felt incensed that an. at tempt should be made just on the -eve of election to detract from Hie g npport that ho might receive, and which be had justly earned in bis canvsee of the county. Our friend Dau Miller felt that our article was an unjnst reflection upon him as it was not bis intention in the leaet (O injure Mr. DeMotte. We make this brief statement injustice to Mr. Miller and are onlv sorry that any thing occurred to give us the impression we had of his meaning.

The New York Sun is not of the clsas of democratic papers that hold an exalted opinion of English the tail of the democratic presidential tioket. In a double leaded article it has the following oi the robber of his grand mother’s pension. Let McEwen, the worshipful supporter of the candidate read and reflect. Then, as a crowning act of folly, the party went into the State of Tnomas A. Hendricks, and took another man for Vice President. Any name other than that of Hendricks would have been bat to go one step farther, they had lO take a man with the most odious reputation as a skinflint to overcome. There nsed to be a fellow who made an occupation of butting his head against a rough-stone New England wall for twenty-five cents. The Democratic party, in making hie nomination, resembled him, only, if report be true, they did not gel the twenty-five cents. A business friend writes ot the election: “The result is 6iraply glorious. I have not felt so good since the surrender of Robt. E. Lee. I feel proud of the old Hoosier State aud her noble sons that have so nobly redeemed her.

I leel that the - cause for which my noble brothers fought and died still lives, and that I have been permitted to fire an effective shot iuto the enemies ranks, and have seen' them retreat in disorder and concision. May the good work continue until not a traitor lives to blight our fair aud glorious land. lam’too happy for expression.” This is but an earnest of the feelings that well op in the heat’t of every sincere lover of his conutry when be contemplates the grand results that were accomplished by (he people through the silent but eloquent voice of a freeman,* ballot on the twelfth day of October. And the grandeur and vastness oi that result should nerve, reenergize and enthuse every true patriot 'to accomplish still greater achievements next Tuesday for Garfield and Glory. / . -—.— m mm. V Democrats are taking a good deal ot o ora fort to themselves and flattering themselves that they will carry the state in November, in the idea that many republicans being confident of the success of their ticket Will not attend the polls, that the large majority gained in October will give them over confidence, and while republicans put themselves to great inconvenience in many instances to attend the St ate election and work lor. the success of their ticket, being disarmed by the overwhelming majority in its favor will become negligent and remain away from the polls in November. There is some danger in this and we hope that the danger is realized to its fullest extent by every republican. Re. member that a change of two or three votes iu eaoh precinct may change the result in November. Dontthink that this change if not possible in your- prqpinct But make it a point, yes an imperative duty to spend the day at the poll* to see} that every thing proceeds in an honest manner. See that every voter is mastered, and every vote gained possible. Think that the snccess of your ticket outweighs for that day at least eyery other earthly consideration. Remember that a live afffl' faithful interest in elections by every yoter secures fair elections. Remember that demooraoy is on the alert, that her forces are mustered to a man. Do such work, and a little better, as was done on the* 12th and the vole of Indiana is assured to Garfield beyond *a doubt.

It wonld seem from the oard of Mr. Price in last week’s second issue of the Sentinel, that he is somewhat excited—unnecessarily agitated. It will be noticed that he pats some etresa on the word “boy” which we Used. The exaot words of the speaker are not always necessary to relate the substance of what ha expresses. We may hay* mistook the exaot word our informant used, but his meaning we did not If there is any difference in the expressions “buy the county,” “carry the county” or “torn the

powerful naugnijriDg glitt would uqjustlj offend. We wish to do I do one an injury. We have not recently examined Mr. Price’s hair and benoe are not able U> speak with reference to its peculiar shade. But the color ot a mao’s hair has nothing to do with his duty public ly or politically. We hope wp may never be drawn aside from the straight forward path so much as to endeavor to draw attention from our own acts to some peculiarity of person or dress which we may please to magnify into a defect. We have not Aha authority this week to place in print the name ol our informant, but if Mr. Price wishes to interview the gentleman we ean point him out. What be said in tbo first J>l ace, he still ad r heres to.
