Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months foe 50 cents During the important and interesting political campaign into which county, state and Nation are just entering The Republican expects to do its full shave. Its miscellaneous pages will devote large atten- — tion —to 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 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 following, greatly reduced offer, for the campaign: Until farther 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 octet of the paper upon which it is printed. N. R.— This offer, of course, is only intended for new subscribers and does not extend to those who are already subscribers.

Will Peel Wood's Bark.

The nomination of W. D. Owen for Congress by the .Republicans of the Tenth District was an exceedingly happy one. He is one of the best stump speakers in that district, and will pecnkc’bark off of Thomas Jefferson Wood. 3>lr. Owen is a gentleman of decided ability, and possesses tko »power to made a red hot canvass. He will carry the Tenth District and make a creditable representative. He will awaken an enthusiasm in that district it lias not known since the days of the war.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

- L • » a • » The Republicans of in state convention assembled, ratify and adopt ; the platform of the recent National Republican Convention at Chicago, as a comprehensive and sufficient declaration of their faith and purposes in respect to all questions of national scope and character; and they ratify and approve the nomination of James G. Blaine and John A Logan for the offices of President aud Vice President of the United states, and pledge to them the united aud earnest support of the Republican party of Indiana. I. We endorse with pride and satisfaction the pure, able, dignififed, and patriotic administration of Governor Albert G. Porter. 11. —We favor an appropriation by the Legislature for the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of the loyal and brave sons of Indiana who gave their lives to save the republic. Hl.—ln the lapse of thirty-three-years, by the increase of our population, and by the marvelous developeroent of our material resources and the spread of intelligence, our state has outgrown the constitution of 1851, and we therefore favor the calling oTa convention at au early day for the purpose of framing a new state constitution adapted to the present circumstances of a great and growing .commonweal th. IV. —We favor such change in the law as shall take the administration Of the prisons and the reformatory and benevolent institutions of the State out of the domain of party politics. V. —We roga rd the system of prison Contract labor as a degrading competition with the labor of the honest citizen, and we favor its abolition. „ Vl.—We favor the enactment and enforcement of laws for the improvement of the sanitary condition of labor, and especially for the thorough regulation aud ventilation of mines under the supervision of the police authority of the State. VII.—We renew the pledge -of our devotion of the free, unscetarian, pub lie school, and will favor all measures tending to increase .its efficiency, and especially such as will promote its usefulness as a preparation for the practical duties of life. VILL—The amendment of the constitution of the State, which authorized and contemplated a revision of the laws relating to fees and salaries ought not to remain a dead letter, and we favor the enactment ol such laws as wJI place the compensation of all public officials upon a basis of fair compensation for services required. IX, Recognising with gratitude the services of the Union soldiers in defending the Government against armed rebellion, we favor a just equalization and ad justment of bounties and pensions, and a liberal construction and application of all laws granting pensions to honorably discharged soldiers of the Union army., X. —We denounce the action of the Democratic majority in the last general assembly in enacting laws of purely partisan character, whereby experienced. competent, and efficient officials were displaced, and mere politicians appointed, to the serious injury of the benevolent institutions of the State, including thos9 for 'the deaf and dumb, the insane, the blind, the boys’ reformatory, and the soldiers’ orphan home; and in the passage of a metropolitan police bill, by which, in cities of a certain population, the control of municipal affairs is taken from the citizens concerned and placed in the hands of a partisan state Commission. f- ; The Chicago New's has these 'approving words of Hon. W. H. Calkins: William H. Calkins, who whs nominated yesterday for Governor by the Indiana Republicans, is in the truest sense a man of the people. His Career is one ftfiieh he has carved out and hewn out through every variety of opposition and every kind of obstacle. JFrom a humble beginning, and with no extraneous advantages at his disposal, he has bravely-, honestly, manfully, worked his way along until he is now unquestionably the leader of the Republican party in Indiana. He makes no pie tense to brilliancy and he lay 4 no claims to greatness; he is> rather than great and brilliant, a fair specimen of that element in our American civilization which by industry, perseverance, and honesty is coming to be recognized as the surest safeguard of our institutions. We regard Mr, Calkins as a man ior whose elevation into honors Of office every sincere admirer of the staunchest types of American manhood should be proud to vote, ri j
