The public debt reduction for March exceeded fourteen millions of dollars. Good Enough. It is’ our opinion that Judge Hammond will be nominated as his own Successor, on the state supreme bench, without opposition. A good account of the Hoodlums’ War in Cincinnati may be found oil our inside pages. It was fihad old ruction. The weather was all “out of whack” yesterday, and it began to look as»though that villainous ground hog had gone back into his hole againOld Dick Oglesby is “dead sure” of the republican nomination for governor of Illinois and the democratic candidate who can beat him is not born yet-and both his parents are dead. ’ —— Robert Lincoln’s boom for the vice presidential nomination is spontaneous, universal and without limitations- Nothing, it seems to us, except the nomination of an Illinois man for the head of. the ticket, can prevent his being chosen for the second place. Ms E. C. Nowels is chairman of the democratic central committee. Have, the greenbackers of “Jasper county heard anything drop ? Or did they already know that thev couldn't lose what they really never had? Rensselaer feels confident that her just claims for the republican congressional convention will not be slighted, and that it will be held here. If our democratic brethren, also, conclude to hold their s here they may depend upon receiving the most hospitable treatment. The title of a popular song; a few years ago, was “Give the Old Man a Chance.” The old man has had his chance and we are in now in favor of changing the tune a little and think it is time to "Give the Young Man a Chance” and by that same token, we are in, favor of Calkins for governor.

He seems to us to be in; all respects on entirely available i candidate. * The Arkansas Mansion, of Little Rock, Ark., of which Henry Simkins, a colored man, is editor, re-; publishes a late article from The Republican, in regard to colored mtn in journalism and adds: -We colored newspapers over twenty years old, and The Mansion is in its fifth- volume.

• The' Democrats, beginning with their state central committee, have made the choosing of township trustees a strictly political matter, this year, and the chairman of their county central committee has publicly boasted' of their ability to elect a majority of the trustees of this county. Republicans owe it to their party to see that all proper effort to defeat the schemes of their political opponents, in this respect is made. The following frank and forcible statement of the political freedom of the South is from Mr. Kernan, Ihte editor of the Okolona { Miss.) States: The South would be Republican to--1 day if the niggers were allowed to vote, I fait when the Northern Democrats andI the oilice-seeking Southern Democrats I say that the niggers are allowed to vote, they lie, amt they know they lie. The Southern people are determined that the nigger shall not vote. They are right. /They tell the truth. I believe in the shot-gun and revolver. I believq in shooting the nigger when necessary, and the Democratic party believes-in it. But the Democracy is cowardly, it is trying to get into power by lying: it has abandonedits principles for a few offices. * * * The Democratic cowards in Congress, and elsewhere. are trying to deceive the North. They say tlint .the SoUthern people arti loyal; that the negroes are enjoying the fullest TightSTif citizenship, and that the old flag is respected, as highly in Mississippi. us i a M assac. nnsetts. Lt is an ,i n t anious, damnable, outrageous falsehood. The Southern people are not loyal; the nigger does not enjoy the fullest rights ot citizenship, nor is it intended that he shall, and the people of Mississippi spit upon the old Hag. i Mr. Kernan is a Democrat, a Bourbon and a bulldozer, but lie is endowed with courage sufficient to acknowledge his policy. In this he displays a spirit fgr more commendable than the cowardice evinced by the Democrats who deny the facts they cannot conceal. —[Logansport Journal.

A Pitiable Lettcr from Mrs, Chisolm.

An effort ia%eiiig made to create a fund for the benefit of Mrs. J. P. Matthews, the widow of the J. P. Matthews who was recently murdered at Hazlehurst, Miss., by his Democratic neighbors, for daring to vote for the ticket which lie thought best expressed, his sentiment. Mrs. Chisolm, the widow of a Mississippi man who was murunder similar circumstances some years ago, accompanies her contribution with, the following pitiful letter to a Washington paper: I see by editorial notice you receive small contributions for the wife of the murdered Mattiiews, of Copiali County, Mississippi. Will you do me tne kindness to accept the inclosed? It is but a mite —• would it were more. My heart bleeds at tlis reccoilection of my own experiences in Mississippi. At the close of that dreadtul April Sabbath, before me lay,within a space of a few feet, Johnnie, our dear son, with his little hand shot off and his young heart shot out; Cornelia, our daughter b aby, bleeding literally from head to feet, exnausted and with none to bind her wounds, my husband, truly the image of his God, murdered by those exulting j- ■■ly.cow.wn.c, Suc.an. i”. imainy so vast, IT at lieltgi>e.' iu, and cta.id ughasi. ="=AEyFusbantl said to me. “Mydeatii will not go unavenged nor De in vain, i'lie Republican pai’ty lis too loyal to every principle of freedom.

Campaign of 1884

.. Rensselaek, Mar c h 1, 1 884. The independent masses of the Rei publican party, desire that the nominees composing the ticket should be suggested by the silent ballot of the rank and tile voters, who are depended upon to elect the same. An equal influence in choosing :i nominee, will strengthen our party, and secure a zealous and unanimous suppoit. A struggle for nomination by office seekers, at the hands of uninstructed delegates, weakens the party. What rational criticism can be urged against a free, equal ballot, and a fair, open copnt. by majorities. .Let the votersfrcely prefer, among their comrades, the most capable, honest and faithful, and the councils of the party will se" niarked with that ur.ity 77 and llarmony so essentia’ to a glorious and complete victory. THE CONVENTION. The convention, which assembles at Logansport, has been entrusted with the power to name the time, place and_ mode of nominating a Republican candidate for Congress. That convention, by and with theadvice of the district committee, ought to adopt the best, unbiased by any Custom or precedent. It may be con ceded that the nominating assembly will de composed of delegates representing an equal number of voters. Each ’dnEese/deTegates should be elected by the voters- -of a separate, . well-delined precinct. Each voter ought to have ah equal and uniform opportunity to. assist in choosing and instructing one delegate. Each delegate should do the will of “Ninety and nine” constituents. PJtECINCT MASS CONVENTIONS The delegate precincts, being clearly bounded and deiined, a central and convenient place in each should be selected, and a mass convention called., at an uniform time, throughout the congressional district, a few days prior to the nominating convention. • Tne precinct mass convention should organize and cast a direct, writteh ballot for a candidate, which may be counted as a direct choice, as well as an instruction to the delegate- 1 A delegate cap then be chosen, by a majority ballot, who will carry, to the district convention, a written account of the precinct meeting, as his credentials. THE DISTRICT CONVENTION,” This convention should estimate the popular vote, and any candidate having'a clear majority, will be the nominee, by “acclamation. 1 ‘ '• If the masses...hasaL—ilok directly chosen a nominee, the convention should ascertain the instructions to the several delegates, and a candidate who may have a majority o£ the delegates, wi'J be ncmiLalvd r by * ■instruction.. ” If no one be nominated by .“acclama" lion or “instruction,” each delegate will, by a written ballot, choose one of the three having the most direct votes, and wiien a majority of the delegates vote for eno candidate, he will bo the nominee, by “convention.” Why net trust the rank and silo in the selection of a wise, honest, faithful and popular nominee? Let an easy and equitable method be adopted, and the strongest possible assurances of success must follow. The members of the convention, to be held April 10, 1881, heve a right to specify how a nominee shall be chosenThe present and future welfare of the party is in their keeping. Subject the matter , to popular control by, majc¥reign of th«r‘-‘Soverergns-‘ i ”~Thb efierished docti'iim di ■‘equality before the law” will thus be subserved among the -brethren. _A_l __

It would have, been hard work to have found a better man for trustee of Marion township than the republican nominee, Elzer A. Griswold. Our democratic friends Will feel like “moving to make it unanimous” by next week, this time. A good newspaper is a good thing. AYe are working faithfully to make .The Republican such, and every one wlio will take, it and pay foi it, or induce his neighbor" to take it and piay for it, will help along in the good work; If you have friends living elsewhere, send them the paper. You can’t make them a more acceptable presents for the money, you may be •assured.
