Representative Convention. ■ r* The delegates selected by the Republicans of the Representative District composed of the comities of Jasper and Newton, are requested to hipct in convention, at Rensselaer, in Jasper county, State of Indiana, on the 20th day of August 1884, at one o’clock p. hl, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for joint Representative to the State Legislature, for said district. The basis of representation in the convention, is one delegate for each one hundred voters; which will give to the Republicans of Jasper county thirteen delegates, and to those of Newton county twelve delegates.

An Intelligent Editor's Impressions of Rensselaer.
Rochester Sentinel. # ,j Our first visit to Rensselaer was made last Tuesday for the purpose of attending the Democratic Congressional convention that nominated Hon. T. J. Wood for Congress. We have heard and read much of the place, but was surprised upon visiting it to find a town of such proportions, so beautifully located and so well supplied with large and substantial business houses and magnificent residences. Its citizenship is made up of an intelligent and wealthy class of people who are leaving nothing undone in the way of improvements to make known the advantages of the town and county to that class of people who are seeking pleasant homes and rich and profitable farms, Rensselaer does not boast of a grand court house, but it has a magnificent new jail, numerous fine business houses, iwo good hotels and a large and imposing school building. Rensselaer is in the midst oftufee agricultural district and when it secures an east and west railroad, it is destined to become one of the best cities-of the State.
Our Neighbors’ Comments on the Prohibition Tieket.
Kuntl'anil Gazette. S'. Dwiggins, of Rensselaer is the Shiel convention candidate for Governor on tlie alleged prohibition ticket.
A Vote for Dwiggins is a Half Vote for Gray.
Monticello Herald. It is safe to say that li. S. Dwiggins will not be elected governor of Indiana, and probably no one realizes this fact more vividly than ilr. Dwiggins him self. What then does he expect to accomplish in his hopeless candidacy? He is aware that political history records the fact that votes cast for a. temperance ticket have been usually those of republicans and the only benefit has accrued to the democratic party. The whisky league has never faltered in its support of the democratic party, because it has always found in that party a staunch friend and supporter. Whenever Mr. Dwiggins finds a man who is going to vote for him this fali, he can console himself with the fact that he hits secured a half vote for Col. Gray. This of course will be consoling to Mr. Dwiggins if he is trying to aid in the success of the democratic party.
A Good Man.
° ’ ;Ar. v Lowell J-ocal News. R. S. Dwiggins was nominated last week, by the Prohibitionists, for’Gov <brnor of Indiana. He is a good man.
Wholly in the Interest or the Democratic Party.
Rochester Republican. That contemptible hypocrite M. E. Shiel, editor of the Monitor Journal, did not accomplish much by sending one of his claquers into this county for the purpose of making additions to his prohibition ticket. Shiel is a Democrat of the most intense type, and the convention called and controlled by him last week was wholly in the interest of his pgrly. No Republican in this count}’ will allow himself to bo “gulled" by supporting that ticket.
Leading a Forlorn Hope.
Remington Naws. Air. Robt. S. D wiggins, of Rensselaer, received the nominmion for Governor at the ' Prohibition State Convcn* ion at Indianapolis, last week. But it is gen- ' erally thought that Robert is leadin<> - a very forlorn hope.
Temperance People will not Endorse Shiel's Methods.
Huntington Herald. At the prohibition conyention at Indianapolis Thursday, known as theShiel convention, no prohibitionists, no dis ference what their characters and standing were, could get into Said convention unless they would first pledge themselves to the third party movement. We are inclined to think that a convention which will proscribe the temperance men and prohibitionists of the State in this manner, will meet with but little, if any, favor by the temperance men and prohibitionists of this county. We are sure we know their sense of honor and of fairness too well to think of any such course. We have been most reliably informed that when Rev. McCune, a Congregationalist minister of Kokomo, attempted to speak against thus gagging the temperance sentiment, h« was met with most derisive cries and shouts of “put him out”. This paper has always upheld temper-, ance, and has done what it could to advance the but it cannpt, nor will it endorse such movements as were attempted bv Mr* Shiel at the instance of tlic £ Uctuocratic leaders th?

“Tom’s" Denial.
Haitim.as I Tribune. Through an oversight of our typo, proper credit was net given the following article, which should have been accredited to the 'Valparaiso Republican. hi sentiment, however, it agrees with us-: T. .J, Wood being on the train en route from’ Washington to the Chicago convention, accompanied by a large pumlier of ids fellow Democratic members, they pursuaded him that he was the m n for vice-p resident, and telegraphed ahead to Chicago papers the follow ing: “Piss mgers on the .Chief go train favor McDonald for president, with Cleveland for a close second. They want* 4 a young man for Vice-president, and if the nomination goes East for Presid-ni, they wanted Hon. Thomas J■ Wood, if Indiana, for second p!acid Li.-pired by this joke, apparent to every one but Wood, he has worked dilligeatly at the Chicago convention with the view of securing the \ icepresidential nomination for “some live t young man" in Indiana Prof. Wilkernbn and Wood should be yoked t oget h'qr. Ckown Point, Ind.. July 23. A. A. AV in ‘Low : I enclose a low and dirty clipping from your paper about myself. You dynow thate stall'you write is a, lie, and di lie when you published it. —Yours, etc..
To show the cheek of our blatant Congressman, we print the above letter. It is a very easy thing for “Our Tom” to write us that this is a lie but the next thing is to prove it. Ibis a well known fact thdt you ware on she train when the message was sent tn the Chicago Times, and it is further known that you ware in Chicago with your lightning rod up ready to be struck by Vice Presidential lightning.

The Congressional Candidates Compared.
Logan sport Journal. —~’ —r The Pharos delights to harp on what it chooses to call Mr. Owen’s failures. Pray, now. at what did Mr. Wood ever achieve success? He was a shyster lawyer, ridiculed even in a Justice’s court, and made good laughing stock tor the last session of Congress. He has neither money nor property, excopt what is i u his w ife's name. His law practice, what little he has, is gained by encouraging his clients intp litigation. He attempts to keep Up his dignity and inspire his associates with an idea,of his resources and 11 berality by giving dinners, when away from home, and borrowing money from some member of his party to pay the bill. Mr. Owen is not a millionaire, but he has made life a success. He has demonstrated his ability in more directions than one. He abandoned the law for other pursuits, "but he could whip Tom Wood at the bar.
