Special Campaign Offer.

Five Months for 50 cents. During the important and inter; q .ting political ca mpaign into which county, state and Nation are just oiitei ingTiiE Republican expects to do its full share. Its m i seel lane - ous 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 Ji ave 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. N. B.—This offer, of course, is only intended for new; subscribers and does not extend to those who are already subscribers. The Prohibition state convention is called to meet to-day at I ndianap dis. No representatives from Jasper county are in attendance so far as we have been informed. 1 Blaine’s letter of acceptance appears in full oil one of our inside pages. It is a noble and compre- * hensiye paper. The best of its kind ever penned, as .we yerily believe. It is in all respects worthy of the foremost American of the times. In its language ic is worthy of the pen of a Macaulay. Logical in its. deductions, accurate in assertions, calm in its statements, it is a great stateman’s review of the present political con4iUQ» of &e country, 1

The Democratic Convention.

The democratic congressional convention for the 10th congres 7 sional district, was held at the Opera House, in Rensselaer, last Tuesday afternoon. In striking and appropriate contrast to the republican convention, which met at Monticello on June 26th, this convention consisted of but a mere handful of mem, whose only purpose and business was to give a formal, ratification to the previous decision of the politicians. The convention met, as already stated, at the Opera House. As jjghLjand. tproper in such a case, the citizens of the town, urespective of politics, turned out in fair numbers and gave the convention and the subsequent speech, a respectful hearing. A.B. Crampton, the towering editor of the Delphi Times, acted as temporary chairman, and made a good presiding officer. Old George Majors, of Benton county, was made pernianent chairman. aiidZa worse one would have been hard to find. His little squeak of a voice could hardly be heard three seats back, and h e had ho more dignity of bearing than a and evident!} 7 no knowledge of parliMr. A. T. Bitters, editor of the Rochester Sentinel, was made secretary, and all the democratic editors of the district present, assistant secretaries. A committee on resolutions, consisting of one man from each county was appointed. Mr. J. C. Odell, of Carrot county was not appointed head of the committee but at once ehose to make himself so. He called the committee together in the side room, and in a spece of time so brief as to show that the resolutions had, undoubtedly, been prepared before hand, he sent the other members back into the hall, while himself mounted the platform, read the resolutions and then actually had the bad taste to move their adoption. The resolutions carried without a dissenting vote. In fact the able chairman never asked for a dissenting vote on any motion. The resolutions were three in number. The first affirmed the principles of the national platform and pledged the support of the democrats of the district to CleveTaljdrand Hendricks. The second did the same for the state platform and ticket, while the third “got down to business” by eulogizing Tom Wood with a fulsomness and a fluency which suggested Mr. Wood’s, down master hand as the author. After the adoption of the resolutions, Major McFadden, of Cass county, moved that Mr. Wood be made the congressional candidate by acclamation. L .__.As always, no call was made for dissenting votes, though probably none would have been given in this instance. A committee was appointed to notify Mr. Wood of his nomination; the irrepressible Odell again thrusting himself forward as head maiifOf the committee. Mr. Wood was Soon found, and immediately began a speech of nearly two hours length; " Mr. Wobd is a specious, fluent tongued man, with considerable natural personal magnetism, little education but much native ability, a consummate demagogue, and the most, self-satisfied and supremely egotistical man in the district. And his speech was just what might have been expected from such a man at such a time. Undeserved censure of the Republican party, and equally undeserved praise of Thomas Jefferson Wood’ were the two ruling ideas of his speech, and lie never wandered from one without soon taking up the other. Of his many times reiterated charges of universal thievery and corruption urged against Republicans, and which, if true, must embrace Jan absolutely universal criminal conspiracy, participated in by every Federal officeholder, not only of the present time, but ever since the party came into power; they are quite too

vague and indefinite to admit of more than a general denial. The revenues of the country are collected aliqost- absolutely without loss. That the inoney so collected is nearly all wisely and honestly expended, we do not believe any man of intelligence, and not warped 1 n judgment by partisan ’rancor, will honestly deny. Considering the vastness and necessarily complicated system of this government it is not a matter for surprise, in fact quite the contrary, if occasionally there should be some isolated office the accounts of which proper scrutiny for a term of years. That such cases are rare exceptions and not the rule, is amply proven by the exceedingly great howl Mr. Wood madejover the one or two cases mentioned in his speech, and in all of which the total loss -would not amount to SIOO,OOO. AVe had noted down a number of the more salient points in Mr. Wood’s speech, but the pressure of other matters-.will prevent our giving them further attention until our next issue.

Workiugmen vs. Cleveland.

A regular-meeting of the Federation of Labor Unions was held Tuesday night, at Washington, D. C. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, Stephen Grover Cleveland is a candidate for President of the United States; and “ Whereas, the said Stephen Grover Cleveland has shown himself to be a bitter enemy of the workingmen and the workingmen’s interests, inasmuch as he has used the power (accidentally acquired) of vetoing all the bills which the workingmen have for years been trying to have enacted into laws in the State of New York, as follows: 1. A bill to reduce the number of,hohys; work tor street car drivers and conductors from Seventeen to twelve hours per day, vetoed by Stephen Grover Cleve- : Tagd. 2. A bill to prohibit the empldyß ing of children under 13 years of age in any mill or factory in the State of New York was vetoed by Stephen Grover Cleveland. 3. A bill to enable the wives and children of workmen and for others to ride on the elevated R. R. allo cents fare; Vetoed by Stephen Grover Cleveland. 4. A bill called a mechanics’ ieinlaw, to prevent swindlers from robbing workingmen out of their hardettrrwd wages; Vetoed by Stephen Grover Cleveland. 5. A. bill to.prohibit infection and disease from spreading throughout tlie community by forbidding the manufacture of any cigars in a tenement used as an eating, sleeping, and work-room, one room for all /purposesv-tluis placing—in of all smokers of low priced cigars the seeds of whatever disease may be prevailing in such places; Vetoed by Stephen GrovergCleyeland. Therefore be it. Resolved," DiaV the workingmen of the United Stateshave too much at stake to trust the power of vetoing of such bills as the eight hour law, and the bill to prevent the importation of foreign contract labor, and the bill to prohibit prison contract labor, and the bill to forfeit .all unearned grants of land made to • railroad corporations in . the hands of-StephenAdroveuCfeveFand. r Resolved, That we shall aid in every honorable way to defeat the vassel of corporations and the servant of capitalists— Stephen Grover Cleveland.

The Kind of Reform they Want.

Logansport Journnl. Mr. Hendricks, as a candidate of the party of “civil service reform”, says that it will be necessary to remove at least 50,0'1U- Republican..offi.ee- holders in the event the Democratic party should succeed to power. Of course, as a champion of civil reform, Mr. Hendricks would not dream of displacing a competent and honest official. And yet, as a jurist, he proposes to find men guilty before they are even accused. The civil service reform that will make room for the greatest number of Democrats is the reform that is most popular with that “party.

The Pendulum Platform.

The Chicago Times thus interviews two eminent Democrats of Ohio: John Bookwaiter, Protectionist — I am pleased with the tariff plank of the platform. It is absolutely protective ih its letter and spirit. - Frank Hurd, Free Trader— Is the platform a free trade one? I am very stupid if it does not come ver}’ near being one. Then you prink the platform is not a protective one? No Sir.J -And thus the juggle goes ©n. ill I.'
