All the signs of the times point that way. Entering u pon the office under peculiarly distressing circumstances, bejset at the tlneskold of his administration by difficulties of the most embarrassing nature, he has steadily grown in popular favor. Suspicion waadisarnied and animosity turned to admiration. He has not been the head of a faction. Abraham Lincoln himself was- not more thoroughly determined to obey the will - of the people as against the behests of cliques and factions. He has succeeded m harmonizing the Republicans of his own state, and in winning to his support the more coasarvatire element, which pays i&ii* heed to the crack of the party [An ter- Ocean.

A Word To Republicans

We are soon to enter s.upon an exciting, important and hotlycontested political campaign. Oar old enemy, flushed with a few victories, which the apathy and neglect of stay-at-home republicans permitted them to achieve, in an off year, are preparing for the fray, with a determination born of desperation. Tlieir leaders boastingly promise to greet a “solid. South” with Indiana “solid for Democracy,” and will bend every energy, and exhaust every means to make good that promise. If Indiana Itepulicans would prevent such a deplorable catastrophe, oucha turning back from the proud highway of human progress, liberty and civilization, they must be not only ready and willing, BUT prompt, to do their whole duty, not only at the bollot box, and dtfring the closing scenes of an exciting contest, but NOW, at the very beginning of the campaign. “A battlo well planned is well nigh won.” This year the Republicans of Indiana can not afford to make any mistakes, every move •vtuST.be well - planned and well considered, and right now is the ti-mc to begin the good work. Bight at homo, in the selection of candi-dates-for your township -officers' select and support only vour very best men, those whose republicanism. integrity and honor are uuquestioned and above reproach, and will require no defense at the hands of their friends. And above all, let them be workers, not for selff.but for principles. This is no year for experiments nor uncertainties; neither is it a time for bolters, sore-heads . nor superannuated old fogies. The struggle will be hard and long, calling for the hardest kind of work from your best and strongest men. Republicans, think over these things, get together and talk them over, then go to work. Remember that the young men are coming forward and must be looked after, and the soldiers’ claims and demands must not be slighted or ignored. And here in Jasper county, where we. already have twenty or more candidates for Sheriff, let every candidate, and liis friends, remember to be very careful not to say or do any thing that will call for apology or cost us votes hereafter. Every good, sound, straight-forward republican, desiring the office, would undoubtedly make a good sheriff, but, remember, we can only nominate and elect one. Republicans, one and all, your duties and responsibilities are higher, and reach farther than the narrow limits of your neighborhood, township or county lines. The eternal Liberty, Justice and Equality, require that every Republican shall do his whole duty.

Rpublican Conventions.

•Fur Tas KiirrsUUAN' It is to the credit of a party that ds members exercise due care and circumspection in selecting .cnudi- S dates for official service. Able, i honest and faithful men should be ■ nominated on uur tickets. In this locality, the republican nominees are reasonably sure of election. The question of nomination should call forth our best thoughts and efforts. That a method of fairly taking the sense of the party, “rank and tile,” may be practical, I propose for discussion the following concrete resol utiojis: Resolve pAThafc each one hundred Republican voters in Jasper county meet in mass convention, at 2 o’clock p. m., Saturday, June 28, 1881, at the following placet?, to-wit: Marlboro, Gill am Center, Dunnville, DeMotto, Surrey, Barkley Center, Egypt, Court House,. Old school house, Rensselaer Depot, Price school house, Exchange Hall and School house, Remington, to then and there east a written ballot for a candidate for Congress, Judge, Prosecutor and Representstive, and select, by q* majority ballot, a delegate to each district nominating convention —Congressional, J adieial and Represeutati ye. The question is open for discussion, and I shall say a few. words for the affirmative. By holding thirteen conventions at the same hour, each member, of ____ - ■_ , . 77

patty can exert an equal influence on the result, if he so desires. A written ballott is the only “free and equal” way of voting a preference among friends. Delegates thus chosen would each have a defiuite constituency, and would know and do the will of those who sent them. The enrollment of the voters at these separate conventions, would tend to cement and unite the party ami would be a voluntary canvass of the county. The importance of the work to be done' would insure a good turn out. The proper territorial limits can be defined for each of these delegate precincts, so .as to make said conventions easy of access.

The Political Situation.

The time for election of delegates to the national nominating conventions has come, and'there is much speculation about probable and possible candidates for the Presidency. There is another point-of interest, however, which has been somewhat overlooked, but which is very significant . This interesting point is the fact that while the position or platform of the Republican party for the canvass is practically determined, that of the Democratic party is wholly uncertain. The Republicans will favor encouragement io domestic industry, and a sincere suppoifc and extension of the reformeft system of the civil service. They will need only to place upon such a platform a candidate who is known to represent it, and who would introduce character and ability into the canvass, to be fairly sure of success. But the are not only at sea, they ara drifting upon a very stormy sea. - It is now evident That they can not as a party' take the position which the election of Speaker Carlisle was supposed to assure. On the contrary, the election of Mr. Carlisle produced an immediate protest which threatened the unity of the party. From the hour of that election the party has been paralyzed. And while this situation revealed the impossibility of Democratic agreement upon a tariff policy, Democrats began to attack the reform bill in a spirit which plainly showed party hostility. The position, then, is plain. Success depends upon the independent voce. The independent vote universally regards civil service reform ns the chief issue of the election, and a large part of it, out of Pennsylvania, favors reasonable revenue reform. The Democratic party, however, has succeeded in presenting itself at the opening of the - active work of the canvass as hostile to the chi d reform, and doubtful of the otiif. It seems, moreover, inclined to suppose that there is some mysterious virtue in the cry for "the old ticket”. That is to say, it appears to think that the county wishes Mr. Hendricks for President —Mr. Hendricks, who is tlie most amiable and -unmeaning of ail political personages. The explanation of this situation is that the Democratic party has ceased to represent anything whatever but opposition; not opposition, upon a principle or a policy-; -H&eet je mere^ iW tfp|Tt3Mti6n to Republican measures because they tire Republican. It is a wholly negative party, aud this also is explicable. 11 is a political organization which has entirely outlived the situation in which it was organized, and after a prostration of a quarter of a century it is trying to adjust itself to a totally new situation, and in doing it to retain its old cohesion. In this effort it fails necessarily, because the mass of the party is inert, unsympathetic with genuine ,progress, and largely un-American. Tlie intelligent and progressive the Democratic . party does not lead the party.. 11 is obliged to follow, and even to pander to party ignorance. Mr. Hewitt’s O'Donnell resolution is the most striking recent illustration of this fact, and the defeat ..i Mr. Pendleton in Ohio, the 'Democrat most conspicuously identified with civil service reform—although the interest of Governor olevel and in the cause has been as signal and effective —snows in uuother form 1 the real pai ty servility to tiie same ignorant prejudice. It is now too late for tiie Democratic party to take a position upon either of the of the tariff or administrative reform which will- satisfy intelligent independent voters that the causes in which they are interested would be safer An Democratic tharum Republican hands. The advantage of position thus far is evidently with the Republicans*. —[Harper’s Weekly. -
