Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months for 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 share. Its miscellaneous pages will devote large attention 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 dampaigu: Until furthur notice we will send The Republican five months for fifty cents in advance. A sum which is at thg 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.

Hammond is the only representative upon the Republican State Ticket from the Tenth Congressional District and also the only man nominated without opposition. He is also, if we are correctly informed, Jasper county’s tii st representative ’ upon a Republican State Ticket. That the J udge should have, during the brief period in which he has occupied a place on the supreme bench, discharged the difficult duties of his j osition in so successful a manner to discourage even the least ■attempt to defeat him for the nomination, is certainly strong evilience of his unusual fitness for the place. His opponent on the democratic ticket,’J. A. S, Mitchell, of Elkhart, is undoubtedly an honorable gentleman, as he is also a successful lawyer, but he has never served any apprenticeship whatever, upon the bench, and Uiling as he does in that vital particular, and considering the j.ou-pontical character of the puigeship, we predict for Judge Hammond that uot ouly will he early the full strength of his party but will also receive a large port, .w. m the opposite side.

The party of principle and of progress, which is managed by the people and for the people, has, in obedience to the demands of its masses, named for its presidential candidate the best known and best loved statesman in America. A man whose great qualities of head and heart, have, for more thantwenty years, endured, unscathed, the most trying tests that exalted positions in statesmanship could lay upon him; or that partisan malignancy could devise. A man seven times tried and tested, and one whom every intelligent American, in the depths of his consciousness, knows to be, in an almost unapproachable degree, equal - To every duty to which he may be called. On the other hand, the party of expediency and of re-action, which is managed by the politicians and for the politicians, paying no heed to the wishes of its masses, has selected for its candidate a mail with absolutely nothing to reccommend him to the suffrages of his countrymen, except that, from his almost absolute lack of any record, he has received tine favor of that small baud of impracticable and implacable political purists the, so-called, Independent Republicans, of New York. In the hopes of catching their votes, and through them of carrying the State of New York, Grover Cleveland was nominated. And who and what is Grover Cleveland? A man without moral or intellectual greatness, and who, during the first forty-four years of his life, was unheard of beyond the limits of his own county, and little known there except as a greedy politician and a selfish man of pleasure. A lawyer by profession, his professional pride and success were of so low an order that, a few years ago, he sought for and secured the office of Sheriff and common Hangman of his county. The position would not be dishonorable to men in certain walks of life, but no lawyer who honored his profession could stoop to accept it, and vastly more would it be beneath the thoughts of any man possessing, in any degree, the greatness of mind and character requisite in the man who fills the exalted office of president of these United States. Since rhe close of his term as Sheriff, Mr. Cleveland has been Mayor of Buffalo, and, tor a year and a half, Governor of the state of New York. In this last position he has done nothing inconsistent with the essential littleness and covetousness of his nature. By his vetoes of the bills regulating the fares on the elevated railroad, and the twelve hour law, he has given ample proof that he is the friend of the monopolists and of the wealthy, and not the friend of the workingmen. That he will meet with deserved defeat, and sink back into the obscurity, which is his natural portion, in November, is jbl result not only ‘ devoutly to be wished,” but, by any one who will camly consider the signs of the times, confidently to be expected.

That small knot of inconsistent, impracticable and’ foreignized political dudes of New York city, who, just Jnow, call themselves “Independent Republicans,” and whq ? because large numbers of the real Republicans of the State of New York, in rebuke of certain objectionable party methods and an unpopular republican candidate, stayed away from the polls, in 1882, and allowed the obscure, ex.-Sheriff and ex-Hangman of Erie county’ to be thrust, by an enormous majority, but only an ordinary party vote in point of numbers, into the Governor’s chair, have demanded of the Democratic managers that they ■disregard the wishes of the masses of their paity, and, passing over the claims of their tried mid trained statesmen, make this moral and intellectual nobody their candidate for president. With that incurable propensity for blundering, which, thank heaven, neutralizes to a'great degree an equally incurables propensity for mischief, the Democratic party has bowed to

the wishes, of these malcontents, and thereby, as we verily believe, alienated vastly more democratic votes than they have gained from the republicans.

The Irish democrats are going over to Blaine of Maine in whole schoals. The hearty hatred in which the English and American aristocrats hold him an account of his inborn Americanism, and the savage attacks made upon by the British papers, have been of great advantage to him, while the nomination of Cleveland, the friend and tool of the monopolists and the consequent enemy of the laboring men has completed the work of republicanizing the Irishmen, so auspiciously begun in the nomination of Blaine and Logan.

The People Remember.

Th i lad eli >h | a Eras*. —— _ President (tarfield knew Mr. Blaine through and through, and, knowing him, he called him to the most conspicuous place in his gift. This is a fact which 'the men who praised President Garfield, living and dead, persistently ignore in their attacks upon Mr. Bi Bine: but the people remember it.

And it is Only the Democratic Party that Does this thing.

Chicago Times. The facing both ways platform commonly called the straddle—is a monstrous immorality. It encourages hypocrisy and deception. It stimulates lying. It sets before the youth of land an example of dissimulation and fraud on the part of men \yho recommend themselves as honest and worthy of public trust. It teaches, by precept and ex ample, the practice of knavery, in politics. There is absolutely no saving grace about it. It is wholly vicious, wicked and damnable.

“If it is now in order wa would ask: ‘Will Newton county now concede the Republican nomination for Representative to our Simon?’’—[Democratic Sentinel. Mr. Editor: —The above is a faint attempt at Bourbon irony. The support of such a “moss-back' ’ sheet ought to be guarded against by all who expect Republican nominations. Since Simon P. Thompson’s name was written on a few Republican tickets, as the choice for Representative, the Sentinel has not failed in a single issue to “throw clubs” at him. His nomination would be “pizen’’ to the Democrats. The Sentinel’s championship of a man for Republican nomination, is down right political slander.

The Meding Saturday Evening.

A large, intelligent and appreciative audience assembled, last Saturday evening, at the Court House, to hear the first speech of the campaign delivered by Hon. William C. Wilson, Republican candidate tor Attorney General. Every one was interested, and no one disappointed with the speech, which was nearly two hours in length. The speaker has been long and favorably known in tins community, and this was referred to by William B. Austin, in a few, well chosen remarks, in introducing him. Mr. Wilson is a good thinker, very fluent and has a forcible delivery. HA dwelt with especial stress upon the location of party srength at the beginning of the late war, the effect of the war upon the politics of that day, aud spoke in words of the highest eulogium of the Douglas Democrats, who swung loose from the doctrine of Supremacy, and fought nobly for Atheir country, and who came out of the,' war staunch Republicans; he reviewed the Democratic cry of fraud in public places, arid, very truthfully, said that it ill became the adherents of that party to charge fraud, when its very name is synonymous with shot gnus and tissue ballots. The best pant of the speaker’s efforts were directed to the tariff question, and, although this subject is inexhaustible, he handled it in such a commendable manner “that the wayfaring man though a fool might not err therein.” The support of the laboring classes, the benefit of home markets, and the building up of the manufacturing and commercial interests in general were brought out in such bold relief as to carry conviction to the rpinds of his hearers. A few deserved and complimentary remarks in regard to Hou. James G. Blame, closed tue speech.

The speech, the audience, the enthusiasm and ‘-Old Shady,” as sung by Col. B C. Shaw, of bafayeite, at, the close of Col. Wilson, 9 remarks, allseemed to awaken tile people from tteir political lethargy. Neyet before were the prospects of the Republican party in Jasper county more flattering, and that there will be a greater than the old time majority, U a fyrt-goae ooftelusion..
