Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months for 50 cents. During the important and inter-: esting political campaign into which county, state and Nation are just •entering The Republican expects to 'do its full shai-e. Its miscellaneous pages will devote large attention to National politics while county and state matters will be treated of, as their importance demands, upon tire local pages., supplements devoted wholly to important political matters will accompany the paper, 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 followmg, greatly reduced offer, for the campaign: Until furthur notice we will send The Republican live months for fifty cents in advance, A sum which is at the rate*of only ten cents a mouth, and which but little more than pays the cost of the paper upon which it is panted. N. B.—This offer, of course, is only intended for new subscribers and does not extend to those who are already subscribers. '

Whether the new way of choosing district convention delegates will finally be pronounced a success it is too early yet to say. »Some three hundred Republican votes of the county took part in electing aud instructing the del* gates on Saturday last, n mneh larger number than could have been induced to attend a mass convention at the county ; -cat, or even to elect delegates to attend a delegate convention. One strong point in faVor of the plan ■of last Tuesday, is that it gives to, •oery voter, if he so wishes a good I o pportunity to give effect to his; opinion as to the merits or can- j didutes without subjecting him to the inconvenience of going a long distance to attend a mass convention. ' i The state ticket and platform ■ ere all that any true Republican wi.uld desire. It is a soldiers'; ticket; and a young man’s ti&et j it is a ticket to delight the hearts i«( the intelligent musses of Indiana Kepublioaus. It is made up oi Irijliai.t, popular, thcrooghly tried and tested men. Calkins is * li«*t within himself. He is the Blame of the Vest. He is

like him in his thorough, earnest and genial manhood. Like him in his porsonal magnetism. Like him in is inborn Americanism. Like him in the brilliancy and the readiness of his oratorical powers, and like him in the strong and abiding hold he takes in the hearts of the people, wherever they come iu contract with him, and lastly, he is like him in the enthusiasm with which his nomination for a great office is received by the masses of his party. The balance of the ticket is worthy of its head. Including Calkins, the magnificent, it contains a sufficient number of active and brilliant politi-, cal orators to make the present one of the most interesting and energetic campaigns ever known in the state. Figuratively speaking, “we will make Rome howl” this fall, and don’t you forget it. The platform fitly supplements the National platform and says all that itneededto say, and says nothing that it ought not to have said. We have yet to hear of a single Republican paper, west of the Alleghany Mountains, which has failed ..to give a hearty endorsement to the Republican presidential ticket. Of the few eastern papers which are still opposing Blaine, there are none that have not either long been considered doubtful in their Republicanism, or are not truly American in spirit and sympathies. The New York Times, for instance, is owned and conducted mainly by Englishmen, and it is no dispraise of Blaine to say that although the Englishmen admit and admire his great qualities, they nevertheless hate him for his hearty and aggressive Americanism. Harper’s Weekly also opposes the election of Blaine, or rather simply refuses to support him. Its editor, Geo. W. Curtis, took a prominent part in the Chicago Convention, as a delegate, and >et knew, when he did so, that if the leading candidate before that convention, and the undoubted choice of three fourths of republican voters of the -country, were to be nominated, by no matter how fair a method, that he would not give him liis support. Mr. Curtis is an able literary man, but as a politician he is a visionary and impracticable doctrinaire. As a political writer, his great hobby, for years, has been to reccomuiend the values of scratching and bolting as the great panacea for all political impurities. Much scratching, in fact, “hath made him mad,” and, in his heart, he has, undoubtedly, long been anxious for some pretext for exercising his bolting proclivities upon a national ticket. And right here ,ve believe is the time explanation of Mr. Curtis course: His passion for a hobby has “got away” with his discretion and his fidelity to Republican principles. He kicks out of pure love for kicking. The only objection he can urge against Blaiue, to justify his course, is, not that he lacks integrity but | that his integrity has sometimes been questioned. He admitted, years ago, that all the charges against Blaiue had been tnumph- | antly refuted, and the whole tone ;of his paper shows that he still | holds (he same view. But to be ! au innocent man isn’t good enough i for Curtis. He has attained such ! ;ui exalted state of political purity that, even as Ceasor would have his wife not only above fault but also above suspicion, so Curtis must have his candidates not only too good to commit evil but too. fortunate to be even accused of committing evil. In this he tori'. gets how impossible it is for any i man to occupy, for any extended period of time, a high position in a party which is antagonistic to that colossal catapult of calumny, that national fountain of false* hoods, the Democratic party, and not have been the objects of numberless slanders and false Recusations.

The State Convention.

An Impregnable Platform and An Invincible Ticket. The Jasper county delegates are all enthusiastic in their praises of the Republican State convention, of last week, and it is generally pronounced the largest and most enthusiastic political gathering the state has seen for many years. The Hon. Stanton J. Peelle, whom the democratic majority in Congress recently thrust out of his seat as representative of the Imlianapols district, to gratify the wishes of old Bill English, was chairman of the convention, and made a gopd one. The Hon. W. H. Calkins was nominated for Governor on the first ballot, the total vote being 594 for Calkins, 512 for Dudley, 48 for Shanks and 1 for It. M. Thompson. Tho vete of the 10th congressional district, by counties, was as follows: =“-=—=?= Benton, Calkins 7. Carroll, “ 10, Dudley 1. Cass, “ 14, “ 3. Fnltou, “ 9, . Jasper, 4, “ 3. Lake, “ 10. Newton, “ 4, “ 2. Porter, “ BJ, “ 2J. Pulaski, “ 4. White, “ 7, “ 1.

TL-c Hon. Eugene Bundy, ot Henry county, was nominated for Lieutentant Governor, on the second ballot. He is a native of Henry county, is 38 years old, a man of many brilliant and sterling qualities and is just the man for the place. The Hon. Robert Mitchell, of Gibson county, was nominated for Secretary of State on tho third ballot. He is a native of Scotland, but was “caught very young” having been brought to this country beforo he was a year old. Ho is a farmer, by profession and has never held a political office although well qualified by nature and attainments for any position. For Auditor, Bruce Carr, of Orange county, was nominated oa the third ballot, the 'Vote of which stood: Carr, 5931; C. A. Cox, 548 j. We are sorry that Mr. Cox got loft but Carr is a splendid man. He is a native of Orange county and is only 35 years old. Ho entered the army before he was tilteen and served till the close of the war.

Roger R. Sliiel, of Marion county, was nominated for Treasurer of State, on tho secqpj ballot by a vote of 587 to 568 for John R. Runyan, of Kosiusko county. Shiel is of Irish parentage, but was born iu Hamilton county and is 40 years old. He enlisted in the 37th volunteers at the age of 17 and remained with it throughout all its bulges. Ho was wounded at Chieamauga, Black river and Sbiloli. W. C. Wilson, of Lafayette, was nominated for attorney general on tho first ballot. Tli9 vote for him being 712 to 445 for Chas. H. Aldrich, of Allen county. Mr. Wilson is well known iu Jasper county and needs little introduction. He was born at Crawfovdsville in 1827, and is the oldest man but one on tho ticket. He was major of the lUth Indiana and wouuded at Rich Mountain, West Virginia. Ho was afterwards made colonel of the 40th and commanded it till the close of the war. Judge Edwin P« Hammond was nominated for Judge of the Supremo Court. He was the only man who was honored by a unanimous nomination, his having been made by acclamation. Wm M. Hoggatt, of Wamok county, was nominated for Reporter of the Supreme Court, on the second ballot. Hon. Barnabas C. Hobbs, of Parke county, was nominated™ for Superintendent of Puelie Instruction,-, a position which he has already tnjjpe held with distinguished ability. He is one of the leading educators of the state and for many years was president of Earl ham College, near Richmond, lnd.

NOTES AND PERSONALITIES. Jasper county gave Calkins the smallest proportional vote of any county la the 10th congressional district. Three sevenths of our vote was given to Dudley, a ipueh larger proportion than his standing among the republican voters ot the county would justly eutitle him to. The Hon. B. S. Dwiggias, of Rensselaer, shared with,, Geu. Tom Bennett, of Richmond, the honor of escorting the chairman, the Hoii. Stanton J. Peelle, to the chair. Mr. Dwigg ns received the further honor of bditijt chosen vice-president for the 10th district, and als • of being chosen to second the nomination of S. P. Oy ter for Lieufen int governor. The whole northwesM-ru portiou rif ths state stood manfully by'drift* A. Cox, for Auditor, acd he gave Brrtee Carr mighty close too, Critfe. is a good man and deservedly popular, and his merits will yet receive the recognition th>y deceive, la. onr opinion.
