What a former Invalid says.

“I xuflered for years from an exhaustive wo-ikne . an ' was fast approaching, 1 felt that, insanity an-i a premature grave was inevit.il-.le, but thanks to Brown’s Iron Bitters I am again restored to perfect health »i mind an i body ” If you, too, are ill, may not this remedy restore thy health? Ai- hoi e so Editors Republican:—ln the Sentinel of last week, there was a communication signed “A Republican!” that is an unmanly, untruthful and sneaking attack upon the members of the mass convention held in Rensselaer April 8, 1882; upon every member of the County Central Committee and every member of the boards of the several township primary held J une 2,1882. The cry of “ring” belongs to the Democracy, and if it is not it ought to be co yrighted by them and all infringements rigidly prosecuted. Republicans know that such a thin r as a “ring” does not exist within the party in Jasper county. The communication does not manifest any of the spirit of a Republican, and 1 therefore conclude it was written by a Democrat, in order to make capital for his party and deceive some Republicans, were such a thing possible. The truth is the Republican County Central Coihmittee is composed of two persons from each precinct. There is a chairman of each township committee, who is a member of the County Republican Executive Committee. Where can any man be found whe can or will truthfully say he was prevented by Republicans from contesting for the nomination for • ounty Auditor? He claims that corrupt and improper influences were used to prevent Republicans from voting for whomsoever they pleased at the primaries, June Ist, by the County Central Committee. Let him bring forth the proofs, subscribed and sworn to, with his own true name appended. I venture the assertion he cannot find such an instance in any township in the county at the primary election held June Ist. I will add that his predictions concerning Dr. Maxwell’s chances for the nomination for State Senator are of the same character but will fell short of his object.. Dr. Maxwell is not that kind of a Re. publican. He is willing to take bis chances with the other candidates for Senatorial honors. lam very sure the leading Republicans of the county-are favorable to the nomination of Dr. Maxwell, and further that his chances to secure that nomination are not a whit less than before the County Convention, bht on the other hand very much better.. i

The Fourth of July was celebrated in what seemed to us an entirely sensible and appropriate manner. The various committees to whom l yas intrusted the general management, of the ceremonies,. did . not follow the too common habit of advertising a vast array of attractions which they knew could never be presented, but on the other hand aimed to do more * if anything than they promised. - The fact that the day, unlike most of the weather which has fallen to the lot of Jasper this year, was very favorable to farm labor, prevented a very large attendance from • the country; although the crowd was much larger in the afternoon » than in the earlier part of the day. ■ For this reason it was unfortunate • that the principal oration was not delivered in the afternoon. The Hon. W. D. Owens presents a Web- - sterian front and a general appearance of intellectual power. A man of liberal culture and large understanding, with many broad and advanced ideas, his speech was something vastly different from and superior to the common run of Fourth of J uly orations. The exercises of the forenoon session besides Mr. Owens’ address, consisted of an invocation by Rev. G. Havens, some most excellent music by the Rensselaer Cornet Band, and the Choral Society, and the reading of a lengthy essay entitled the “Declaration of Independence,” by Mr. W. 8.. Austin. This last production was well written and read, but, although we do not wish to accuse Mr. Austin of plaigarism, the document diet mind very much like something f we had heard before. In the afternoon more beautiful music, and, toasts and responses. “The Day we Celebrate” was responded to by M. L. Spitler, ”The President of the United States,” by H. E. James, “The Continental Congress,” by J. W. Douthitt, “Our Flag,” by J. F. Burroughs, “Our Country’s Future’ by W. W. Watson>“Our Country’s Defenders,” by 8. P. Thompson. Loud calls were made for Dr. Bitchey, the inimitable, but he refused to take the platform, although he made a few remarks from bis place in the audience. Enough ■ fire-works were burned to have made a.brilliant display had they, all been touched oft* in ten minutes time, but having been dribbled out for an hour or •more they amounted* to little less than a feilure. Theyoung people finished the day with .. a pleasant dance at the ‘ Opsr« ; HOlWin
