Major Calkins opens the campaign at Richmond, to-day. He will visit Jasper county before tJi£ close of the campaign. Two Prohibition conventions were held at Indianapolis last Thursday. One of them was the, result of the sole labors of one M. E. Shiel, a life long’democrat, and, a man who, though editing a professed temperance paper, there is good grounds for believing is working for the democratic party. He claimed to have more than 30,000 signatures of voters to his call for a convention. Every effort made to induce him to exhibit these signatures failed. /That Mr. Dwiggins should have accepted a nomination from this convention, is a matter of the greatest surprise. He has been working with the republican party every since the opening of the campaign, at the beginning of the year. He attended the county mass convention iii February, was chairman of a committee which selected the delegates to the republican state convention, and which named him as one of the delegates. At the state convention lie was an active member. Was made a district vice-president, and even after the platform of resolutions had been adopted, he still continued to take a prominent part in the proceedings. Dark rumors regarding Mr. C leveland’s moral character have Lcen in circulation for many months. They have originated in Lio own town and among his own political compatriots. They have lately became so numerous, and seemingly based upon such direct and positive evidence, that we feel justified in publishing at least enough in regard to the matter to give our readers nh idea of their nature, and of the character of the knen who make them. When the editor of a prominent democratic paper, published in a neighboring town in Mr. Cleveland’s own state, resigns control of his paper during the campaign, and refuses to accept a nomination as a democratic elector, on the grounds that ho cannot support a “Moral toper” Tor president; and when eminent and highly esteemed ministers of the gospel, in Mr. Cleveland’s own U/m u, actively interest themselves,

in the interests of public morals, in making public the details of his alleged trimsgressious of the moral laws, it is neither possible nor proper for the press of the country to longer ignore the charges.

A Successful Meeting.

One of the most successful political conference meetings ever held in Jasper county met at Starr’s Hall, last Saturday afternoon. It consisted of the Republican County Central Committee, large numbers of the various township committees, most of the candidates for the Republican nominations, and [many leading Republicans from various parts of the coiynty. The'number present in the hall, at one time, \vas but little less than one hundred Many matters of importance to the party were considered. The details for the primary election of August IJth were arranged for, as will appear in the official call in this issue of The Republican. The fact that so large and earnest a gathering of leading Republicans could be held at this busy season, speaks well for the zeal of the members of the party, and is a most encouraging sign of a victorious campaign.

A Candidate for Governor.

Two Prohibitipn conventions j met at Indianapolis last Thursday. I One at English’s Opera Housed which was called by M. E. Shiel, editor of the Monitor Journal. The other met at the Grand Opera House, and was called by Mr. E. B. Reynolds, president of the State Temperance Organization. At the Reynoldds convention no nominations were made, but the Shiel convention plated a nearly complete state ticket in rhe field; its head, for Governor, being our townsman, Hon. Robert S. Dwiggins. Judge E. P. Hammond, of this place, the Republican candidate for Supreme Judge, was endorsed by the convention,’- * The Indianapolis Journal, in speaking of the convention and candidates, has the following in regard to Mr. Dwiggins; ‘•Hon. Robert S. Dwiggias; the candidate for Governor, b forty-nine years ot age, he b a native of Onio, and lo*

cated in Grant county in 1839, afterwards moving to Jasper county in 1859. He practiced law for several years, but is now engaged in the banking business. In 1868 he was one of the Grant electors, and served in the State Senate from 1870 to 1876. l/is advocacy of the Baxter bill gave him his prominence among the temperauqe people. He was a delegate to and ope of the vice-presi-dents of the Republican State convention here last mouth. The pnly other well known man op ,the ticket, besides Judge Hammond, who is the Republican nominee for Supreme Judge, is Dr. R. T. Brown, of this city, who has been prominent in temperance work /or many years, being the Prohibitionists’ candidate for Governor in 1876, and again in 1880. (JI the various gentlemen nominated, all a,re said to be Republicans, with the exception ot Mr. Taylor, of Alien county, who is a Democrat.”

In the Chicago (Convention Mr. George William Curtis said: ’ “We are confronted with the Democratic party, very hungry, and, as you may well believe, very thirsty; a party without a single definite principle; a party without any distinct national policy which it dares present to the country; a party which fell from power as a conspiracy against human rights, and now attempts to sneak back to pdwer as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils.” Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks says that at least 50,000 oilice-holders wall have to be displaced “because the party will demand it,” and yet Mr. George William Uuftis is aiding to put this party in power. Could self-stultification go further?— [lndianapolis Journal, • ' G ?
