The idea seems to prevail to some extent that tfie vote on presidental preferences, at the Loganssport convention on the 10th inst, should be regarde J, by the dele, gates that day chosen, as pu instruction to them to vote for Blaine at the Chicago convention. The idea is entirely erronious. The Logansport convention had no power or authority whatever to instruct the delegates. It was expressly understood that Indiana should send an uninstructed and unpledged delegation to Chicago, and the vote' on preferences at Logansport was taken merely to “Satisfy the curiosity of the members ofthe convention as to which of the presidental candidates appeared, at the time, to be the most favored.

Colonel John S. Williams, of the Lafayette Sunday Times, who has been spending some time in Washington City, writes in the last issue of his papei?: ‘'The great want of the Democratic party to-day is a leader—a man with the ability and the nerve to lay down a policy, and around whom the party will rally. Why, every Democratic popinjay in Congress —and there are quite a number of them—has a tariff bill of his own! Fact. A Democratic mutton-head from the north part of the State, who doesn’t know a tariff from a buz-saw, has introduced two or three tariff bills in the shape of amendments to the present law. And so it goes along the whole line, every fellow on his own hook.” This remark must refer to the Hon. Thomas Jefferson Wood, of the Tenth district. Compliments of Colonel Williams to the great Democratic statesman from Crown Point. —[Indianapolis Journal.

According to a tabulated statement in last Sunday’s Inter-Ocean, of the 417 delegates to the National convention chosen up to Sat. night, 223 were for Arthur, 97 for Blame, 46 for Logan, 15 forEdlutmds, 6 for Gresham, 5 for Senator Sherman, and 2 for Gen. Sherman. If the Inter-Ocean’s figures are correct it would seem that Arthur was almost certain of a nomination on the first ballot, but some allowances must be made for the Inter-Ocean’s bitter anti-Logan sentiments, and it is altogether likely that Arthur’s strength is somewhat exaggerated in the the president is sure to have a large and earnest following in the convention and bis_ chances for the nomination are certainly considerable. And why not he a$ well as any? A more absolutely irreproachable administration has never been given by any president; and as it is [generally conceded that the one indispensible qualification in a successful republican candidate is his ability to carry New York,‘would not he, as a resident of that state, be more likely to fulfill that condition than almost .ally other man who could be mentioned?

The Delegates at Large.

The Republican Stat? Convention in session at Indianapolis, last Thursday, selected the foliowine delegates at large to the Chicago convention-. Senator Benjamin Harrison, Hon. Richard W. Thompson, of Terre Haute; Hon. •John H. Baker, dt Goshen, and Mprris McDonald, of New Albany. The alternates are Edward T. Horn, /colored) of Marion county; J. iUielker, of Vanderburg county;; Moses Fowler, of Tippecanoe county, and G. B. Ward, of ’■Vhjte county,

AU tickets must be written, and no printed tickets will be counted. These precinct conventions are called by the Committee so that voters may have an easy and equal expression, as to delegates and candidates. We ask that there may be a full attendance and wise action taken at these mass conventions. The National and State tickets will then be nominated, and we should, supplement them by dis■tions. committee will furnish printed blanks for the conduct of the business at these conventions. William A. Rinehart, Chairmain George E. Marshall, Secretary, Jasper county Republican Cent’rl Com. The National Republican Convention will consist of a body of men which for intelligence, experience and integrity cannot be surpassed by any governing body in the world. To that convention can be safely trusted, as we believe, the duty of selecting a candidate against whom no considerable portion of the party can be arrayed, and under whose, leadership the party will make a united and agressive campaign. ’ ,

Candidate for Governor.

’ Lafayette Sun day Times Tom Wood, Member of Congress from Ind., has appeared upon the j stage as a candidate for Governor at the hands of the Democratic convent ion. Most everyone laughs at the idea. Tom really thinks he is a great man.— Lebanon Pionejft. The fact is that the fellow is an ass, and the Democrats of the IDtii District do themselves no credit in letting such |a lout break into Congress. - ~ • -- 'v

Republican Convention.

All voters of the town of Rensselaer, who intend to support the Republican nominees in the approaching campaign, are requested to meet at the .Court House, Monday, April 29tb, 1884, at 7:30 p. m. in mass convention, to nominate a ticket to be voted for at the election of May sth.

MANY REPUBLICANS.

The possession of such enormously overgrown fortunes as that oi W. H. Vanderbiit is so manifestly injurious to society and contrary tn public policy that the government ought to interfere and make it unlawful for any individual to become possessed of property or monies above a certain sum, say ten million dollars —a sum vastly beyond the needs of any one individual to either hold or dispose of. One of the overshadowing dangers“im the future of this country is in the accumulating of the wealth of the country in a few handsand the consequent impoversfrin g —a ml demoralizationof the people. If Vanderbilt’s wealth be not more than o ne half as largeas it is commonly stated, yet his yearly income is as great as the aggregated earnings of ten thousand average working men. “Thou sb alt not take thy children's bread and throw it unto-dogsy” but here, worse than thrown unto dogs, is the bread of fifty thousand human beings either wasted in damning and demoralizing luxury , or, still worse, hoarded to swell the proportions of a fortune already vastly too great. It is a monstrous and an unmitigated evil. We agree with that plank in the anti-monopolists platform which demands a cumulative incomerax, for large incomes, increasing tn rate per cent, in proportion to the

amount of the income, and if we could have our way we would pass a law forbidding the accumulation and holding of such immense fortunes. The day is certainly coming when the people will refuse to longer sweat and groan under the unendurable burden of poverty for the sake of securing to a few the possession of that which, in reallity; enfiches not its possessors and leaves the people poor indeed.
