Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months for 50 cents. „ —During the important and interesting political campaign into which county, state and Nation are just enter ingTnE Republican expects to do its full share. Its miscellaneous pages will devote large attention to National polities while, county and state matters will betreated 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 furthur notice we will send The Republican five mop ths 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. N. B.—This offer, of course, is only intended for new subscribers and does not' extend to those who are already subscribers.

According to the Rochester Papers John K. Lee is still sanguine of the future of his railroad, the Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis, and says if it is not built this year it will be next, for sure. Hon. Billy Williams, of War* saw, wliaon last Thursday nominated for Congress on the Republican ticket at Michigan City. A felivngfer candidate and a more popular Republican does not-live in Indiana. Billy Williams is a •hustler, and his opponent wijl think so before his campaign is . ’Over. A wiser choice could not have possibly been made.—[La Porte Herald Chronicle. Speaking of our candidate for the State Supreme Court, the (South Bend Times (Democratic) says: “Judge Hammond is a very good man, now filling a seat on the supreme bench by appointment. He has. made a good cir♦uit judge and is filling his present ♦tjhte acceptably. He is a brother to the late Governor Hammond, Kh) Democrat’’

Opening The Campaign.

Billy Wilson Saturday” evening. A Republican political meeting will be held at the Court House, next Saturday evening, at B.o’clock sharp. The Hon. William C. Wilson, of Lafayette, Republican Candidate for Attorney General, and one of the very ablest and most brilliant political orators of the state, will be present and make his opening speech of the campaign. Republicans of all ages and sexes should feel it a duty, as they will find it a pleasure, to attend and give this eloquent and learned man a good hearing. People of other shades of politics are also cordially invited to attend. The Rensselaer Cornet Band and the Blaine and Logan Glee club will furnish music for the occasion.

Am Insatiate Tapeworm.

It appears that this Isaac P. Gray, who has been nominated by the democrats for Governor of Indiana is a rengade Republican who seceded from Republicanism because it declined to gratify his persistent hankering after office. He seems to be possesed of an insatiate tapeworm which hungered forever and for aye after office, office, office. There is a quiet rumor that the Indiana democrats have put him up against Bill Cal-, kins simply to get him knocked off the track and out of the way for’ all time to come.—[Chicago News /

“Gallant Colonel Gray.”

A few short months ago I. P. -Gray was spoken of as the “Gallant Colonel Gray.” Why is 11*9 not spoken of so favorably now? The reason is plain. There are other men in the Democratic party in Indiana who are much more entitled to political honors than Gray, and the thinking class have decided that he has been sufficiently rewarded for bringing to the party one vote. For this reason his war record has been examined and found to consist of a brilliant five months’ campaign within sight of Madison, this state, with the exception of the tirfie occupied in destroying a Democratic printing office belonging to old man Cropsy, just across the Ohio River. This is why the “gallant” has been dropped from his name--—[Port-land Herald (Dem.).

A Letter front Mr, Cox.

Mr. -Editor, I des.ro through your columns, to extend by heartiest thanks to the Delegates and other Republicans from your U ounty, who so earnestly supported me in Convention, for Nomination for Auditor of State. I do not take to myself any credit for the splendid support which was given me, but deem I was so honored by the desire of a Republican State Convention to place in that honorable position, one of that -class 'of men of Which the Republican Party is so largely composed. The men whose days are spent in arduous toil, with both muscle and brain. Not that it is necessary for our Party to make any special effort to show to the Laboring Man that it is his Champion, for every line of its history is replete with such evidence. But that they as a class had asked for a representative upon our State Ticket, in a year when all are sanguine of the eomplete sueeess of both our National and State Tickets. That I was not so honored, was caused only by the fact that I was not generally known throughout the State as being the representative of the Laboring Class. Had this been fully understood, my nomination would have been assured. I desire to assure the Republicans that I have no chagrin, or sore spots by reason of tty defeat, and Will give to the entire Ticket my most earnest support. Truly Yours, CRITTENDEN A. COX, New Albany, June 24, 1884.

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic National Convention, which convened in Chicago Tuesday, after an exceedingly turbulent and stormy session adjourned last evening until 10;30 o’clock this morning. Cleveland, Bayard and Thurman were placed before the convention, as candidates for the nomination,- and other names will be presented today. The platform has not yet been adopted, and a stormy time may be expected before it is. We do not con sider it probable that a ballot will be reached to-day. According to the Times, Ben Butler expects to get a few votes on the fii st, ballot, but none after 'that until “h—l breaks loose.” He knows where his friends are, evidently.

Wallace on Women's Rights.

Extract from an oration delivered at Rensselaer, Ind., July 4th 1884: Has it never occured to you, fellow citizens, that our political system, if carried to its logical results and justly applied, would place the ballot in the hands of every woman in the laud? Why not ? They are a part of cur people. A part did Isay? They constitute a majority ot all our people. They are subject to the laws; they pay taxes; they aie as intellegent and patriotic as the men, and are vastly more conscientious. If I were asked today, „who are the most inconsistent of all inconsistent men and women, in America?” I would without a moment’s hesitation, an-swer,-“The opponents of Woman Suffrage. . Think of its They proclaim that man and woman have different natures, and yet maintain that man can represent woman better than woman can represent herself; admit that woman possesses intelligence and mental 'endorments equal to man, ancl yet maintain that she lacks business and political sense; they protest that virtue is the most essential qualification of the citizen voter, and yet maintain that women, who possesses this qualification in the highest degree, should be excluded from the polls; th§y admit to the ballot box the worst elements of society, and yet maintain that the best elements should be excluded from it; they believe that nature established the home, and yet maintain that a legislative enactment giving the ballot to women, will tear it down; they concede that woman is the best sculptor of human character, the grandest teacher of the citizen voter, and yet maintain that the product wrought is everything, the artist nothing,—-the pupil, a king, the teacher, a slave; they assert that all goverments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and maintain that governments should be established and laws enacted with the consent of less than one-half of the people; they declare that taxation of man without representation is tyranny, but that taxation of woman without representation is a blessing; they trust the Negro, the Chinaman, the Irishman, the German, the Hottentot and the South Sea Islander, if these choose to come to our shores, but they refuse to trust their own wives and mothers. They fear that if the latter should breathe the pure air of political freedom, it would poison their moral lungs; they fear that the flower of modesty, though watered by the dews of liberty, would wither in the sunshine of freedom; they fear that the cords of affection which break not at the drunkard’s strain, will snap asunder at the first touch of political difference; they fear that the love of the mother for her ehikh which as in the case of Ben Hur’s mother, chooses for herself misery and death to save her offspring, will be swallowed up iu the love of politics; in one word, they fear that Woman is, by nature, unfitted for freedom. Fellow citizens, I set niy foot upon this and I declar, here, on this Independence Day, that freedom—freedom intellectual, freedom moral, freedom civil, freedom political—is as truly the natural possession of woman as it is of man, and that it is as necessary to her highest and best development as it is to his.

After all, fellow citizens, is it not true, in spite of our principles, that our boasted Republic is, practically, but the go Vermont of a class, for a class, and by a class? But the times are auspicious! The word moves; and, walk my words the day is not tar distant, when our wives and daughters shall walk with us to the polls, us they now go with u» to political meetingsand h ourtu of J mycelebrations.
