NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.

FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES G. BLAINE, of Maine. —FUIUVICE-PRKSIDENT. JOHN A. LOGAN, of Illinois.

Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months for 50 cents. During the important and interesting political campaign into which county, state and Nation are just er. tei ing The Republican expects to do its full share. Its miscellaneous pages will devote large attento National politics while county and state matters will be treated of, as their importance demands, upon the local pages. Large supplements devoted wholly to important political matters Wilf accompany the papery from time to time, as occasion requires. In order to place the paper into as many hands as possible, we have decided to make the following, greatly reduced offer, for the campaign: Until furthur notice we will send The Republican five months for fifty "cents in advance. A sum which is at the rate of only ten cents a month, and which but little more than pays the cost of the paper upon which it is printed.

The Campaign Slogan, Is “Blaine and Logan.” The ticket is all heads and no tails, and “Heads we (Republicans) win and, {Tails you (Democrats) lose.” . I 1 J 1,"" I"J The Plumed Knight, of Maine, and the Black War Eagle, of Illinois! A Ticket fit for the gods! A regular double header; big at both ends. Brethren, we had rather, if need be, go down to a glorious defeat with two such men as our standard bearers, than to win with a pair of obscure, darkhorse, compromise weaklings.

This year, as in every presidential campaign year since its organization, the party of principles and of progress has boldly entered upon an aggressive campaign, choosing the right for right’s sake, “in scorn of consequence.” Paying no heed to what the time-serving, epoils-hunting opposition may or may not do, the Republican party has appointed the time for its convention, and held it at the appointed time. It has nominated its candidates, and adopted its platform of principles, with allJits old time directness, and fearless advocacy of what it believes to be the right On the otifer hand, this year, as in every year since its hopeless and irrecoverable degradation in the days when it first crawled at the feet and licked the spittle of its southern task masters, the timeserving, any-tlnng-to-win, double faced Democracy, does not, and dares not, name a candidate, or formulate a pl tform, except from the vantage ground of knowing what the republican party has done, and of “having the last word.” Having no real object in view, except the lust of power and the spoils of place, it ever waits until the Republican party has taken its position, and declared its purposes, in the hope that, by a cunning and unscrupulous juggling with words, to do shape its platform, and ite promises, that the people can be hood-winked into believing that it gives them just what they wish in apolitical platformThat it opposes what they oppose, &ud favors what they favor.—

We have received the first number of the Attica Herald, published June 7th, and gladly welcome the new-born paper to our exchange table. It is published by Keiser & Atcheson and the editor is none other than the Hon. Jacob Keiser-, late of Winamac, and a gentleman well known and highly esteemed by the people of Jasper county. Under his management it cannot fail to be a good paper, and if patronized according to its merits, will be a success financially.

The Supreme Quadrennial Council of the Republican party met last week, in Chicago, and formulated a platform of principles and named a ticket for the presidential campaign of the year 1884. James G. Blaine, of Maine, and John A. Logan, of Illinois, are to be the standard bearers of the party for the campaign. Popularity among the masses of one’s own party, in~ such a campaign as the one just opening is to be, is not everything,“but it is muck and of that ‘“much” it is safe to say that the present Republican ticket is, taken all in all, the most popular ever placed before the American people by the Republican party, or perhaps, by any party. As for our own views of the nominations, we may say that, although, during tlie long years of Mr. Blaine’s splendid and brilliant service as speaker of the House of Representatives, and as a leader of the Republican side, when they were in a minority; and when, following that eventful session of Congress, in the Spring of 1876, during which, upon tne floor of the Senate chamber, he had daily, for weeks, And almost months, met and repelled and overthrew, with triumphant scorn and irresistible eloquence, the persistent and unspeakably malignant and insolent attacks of the Confederate senators; his name had been placed before the Cincinnati convention, by Col. Ingersoll, in such a glorious burst of eloquence as never before or sin ce, was heard in a political |convention, our admiration for his exalted‘qualities went with that of the whole world; yet, in these later years, when we had come to care more for measures than for men, and to place our desire for the success of Republican principles above pur wish to glorify individuals, however deserving they might be, we had come to think that, possibly, in those doubtful eastern states which are to be the real battle fields of the campaigns the chances for Republican success would have been greater with the wise and wide-minded man, whose patriotic and unselfish administration of the government, for the last three years, alone it is that has united the discordant elements in the Republican party and made its success this year a probability, at the head of the ticket; and have intimated as much through these columns. But we were always for the nominee of the convention, and now, as it becomes more and more apparent bow deep and strong and fervently lasting is the love for Blaine in the hearts of the people, we are more and more convinced that his nomination was (he best and wisest that could have been made. More especially is that the case when the nomination of Mr. Blaine has made it possible for so grand a man as John A. Logan to accept the second place on the ticket.

The Judicial

The Republican Convention for the Thirtieth Circuit (composed of the counties of Benton, Jasper and Newton) for the purpose of nominating candidatas for Judge and Prosecuting Attorney, will be held at Goodland, on Tuesday, June 24th, 1884. Jasper County wiU be entitled to thirteen delegates. The official call is in our haadS) and will appear next week.

The Republican stat<? convention meets next Thursday, June 19th. The folio win g are the Jasper county delegates: S. C. Maxwell, J.M. Wasson, J. H’ Robinson, C.- R, Benjamin, R. S. Dwiggins, F. W. Babcock, S{R. Nichols.

Tally One for Our Simon.

To Mr. S. P. Thompson, of Rensselaer, mote than to any other, belongs the credit for sitting down upon and effectually squelching the foolish project of wasting Indiana’s vote, in the National convention, in the hopeless attempt to nominate Senator Harrison. The delegation held three meetings to, consider the proposition to present Mr. Harrison’s name. At the first meeting-.a majority of the state delegates voted in favor of so doing, but Mr. Thompson and some others, refused to be bound by the action of the maj ority of the delegates, and the subsequent meetings were held in the hope of “solidifying” the delegation. At the third meeting of the delegation a whole herd of Indianapolis politicians were present, and made a determined attempt to brow-beat the independent delegates into voting with the others for Harrison; but Mr. Thompson, as their spokesman, 'made such determined assertions of his intention to vote for the man who he wished to see nominated, regardless of the question of locality, gthat the Harrison movement was abandoned entirely, and all of the Indiana delegates voted for whom they believed to be the best man. * Mr. Thompson voted for Blaine, at every

A Card.

Never having been nominated for any offee by any party convention, and now, having no prospect nor desire to appear as a candidate before the Congressional conventions, I will be pleased if no voter in the county shall write my name on his ballot—as his choice for Congressman. Creditable persons have told me that a false impression existed: that I was a candidate before the Congressional convention. Such an impression, by the common law of politics, does a great injustice to my integrity, and your freedom of choice, and justice requires me to say that there is no foundation for any such rumor, more than would apply to any other Republican voter in the county. There may be created a prejudice against the citizens of pur county, if we are too clannish and local in our expressions for official preferment. Such a prejudice may exist, as a fact, and do much harm, and yet not be founded on solid reasons. The voters would do well to so vote as to promote harmony and unity in the party, looking to present, as well as future triumphs, and not provoke local jealousies and dissensions. I believe that, for the office of Con- • gressman, at least, our voters would do well to place on some of their tickets the names of some good men who, by the accident of residence, may not live in Jas. per county. Local modesty forbids that more than two or three out of four of the candidates voted for by us, on June 21st, 1884, should reside in this 'county. As far as I know, several good men will be supported, as candidates, before the Congressional convention:. The voters should each take his choice, leaving out of consideration the writer, who, for prudential, political and personal reasons, prefers that no vote shall be cast for him, as a candidate for Congressman at our precinct mass conventions. * I have warmly advocated our method of selecting delegates, and, looking to future harmony, make the above observations.
