Jurors for the June Term.

' 2 Governor Warren, of Wyoming, says that woman suffrage has not lowered the character of public officials in that Territory. On the contrary, the women consider much more carefully than men the charof the candidates, and both political parties have found themselves obliged to nominate their best men in order to obtain the support of the women. “As a business man, as a city, county and Territorial officer, and now as Governor of Wyoming Territory”, he adds, “I have seen much of the workings of woman suffrage, but I have yet to hear of the first case of domestic discord growing out of it. Our women nearly fill vote, and since, in Wyoming, as elsewhere, the majority of the woman are good, and not bad, the result is good, and not evil.”

’ The case of the enforced resignation of Major Watts from the Delphi post-office, arid the appointment of A. B. Crampton in bis place, is a much more flagrant and palpable violation of Cleveland’s professed reform policy, than would be apparent from the incidental remarks we made regarding the matter last week. Major Watts was not only an entirely blameless officer, but in no fair sense an offensive partizan. At the very beginning of the political campaign, he resigned Iris position as a member of the btate Central Committee, and thereafter carefully abstain ed from taking any active part in politics. On the ether hand, Crampton is, and always has been, a most bitter and offensive partizan. • He is also a member of the State Central, Committee and various other political organizations; and is, in short, everything' which, in a Republican, constitutes an “offensive partizan.” The Remington News lias made its reply to the article in The Republican, of two weeks ago. The News article is little more than a tirade of personal abuse and brag, which is,no answer to a single fact or allegation of the above mentioned article. The articles were simply criticisms on the crooked and offensive partizan methods of the democracy of Remington: and a personal onslaught on the supposed authordoes nbt answer anything, but on the contrary virtu ally admits that the criticisms were just, and could not be successfully refuted. The threats and bluster of the News is a kind that might seem appropriate in Copiah county Miss., hut. seem much out of place in Indiana, but the article after all is much in keeping with the overbearing, brow-beating and abusive manner the Republicans of Remington have been subjected to for some years. They can not call a Convention, make a ’speech, or Criticize a democratic administration, legislature, or anything democratic without such ' abuse, ind even worse.
