WHY THE COLUMBUS WATCH ! j The Main Spring Barrel is corf-; pletely covered, making it more i nearly dust proof than any other. The Regulator is nearly double the length of others, rendering accurate legulation a very simple matter. To replace a broken Main Sprii:g the Barrel can be removed without removing the Balance or interior • ing with the regulation. ’ The Hair Spring Stud is so formed that two or more coils of Spring cannot catch in the inter Pins and cause the watch to either stop or gain time at an ujusualrate. The Balance comes under the round, or edge, the strongest part of the case, not as all others, itflhe center and under the weakest part. These are improvements that cannot bel claimed by any other manufacturers. There are other advantages which the watchmaker can readily explain, and once seen, all must agree in saying that it is the strongest and best watch in the world. buying and .carrying a Coin .11bus Watch you will save the price ot an ordinary watch in a lev year?* in repairs alone, to say nothing <>i uhe inC’jiijveoieuce and delay oi rep iirr.’*®4 I Carry a full line of Columbus watches, also a complete stock of clocks.

Call for a County Convention.

In accordance with an ordet is-' sued by the Indiana ' Republican State central committee, a mags convention of the Republican v oters of Jasper county is hereby called to meet at the court house, in Rensselaer, at one o’clock p. m., on Saturday. January 30 th. 188 G, at which time the following business will be transacted: 1. There shall be elected one delegate for each voting precinct in the county, and one alternate, who shall be delegates and alternates to a district convention to be held at Logansport on Thursday, February 11th, 1886.

2. There, shall be elected the Republican county committee, to succeed the present coiinty committee. 3. There shall be transacted such other county political business as may be properly brought before the convention.

By order of the Republican County central committee- of Jas per county. AV. A. Rinehart, Chm’n. G? E Marshall, Sec’y? •rKisr.'rniriwwjßxanEW. Bro. McEwen, of the Democratic Sentinel, is sick, and will not issue a paper this week.

The official cell for the Logansport district convention of Feb., 11, specifies no other business.than the election of the member of the state central committee for - the district.

The dyed-in-the-wool democrat, who signed himself “Mugwump,” in the last Sentinel, will do his party fully as much service and in a much more honorable way, by healing the quarrels in his own party ashy bis vain efforts to sow dissensions among the Republicans. There is Adam Hess, for instance, * one of the best men on the democratic tieke t, how will himself and friends be plicated for the shameless manner in which he was betrayed, in 1884, in the interest of another democratic candidate?

A person who signs himself “Mugwump” in the last Sentinel, gives a long list of Republicans whom he claims are candidates for various county offices. If is safe to say that not one half of the men there mentioned Ipive ever been heard to intonate Hiat they would be candidates for any office in the approaching campaign. It is plain to be seen that the .object of the article is to stir up dissensions in the Republican party, in the county, but the scheme is too clumsy and palpable to accomplish any result, unless it be to re-act unfavorably noon the party in whose interest it was conceived.

time is-near at hand whenj Republicans should begin to con-i sider how and when the county! ticket should* be nominated. We.j have tried primary elections, mass: conventions and delegate conventions. None of these methods are wholly free from objections; and; indeed there is no probability that 1 any method can'lle devised that is; so. As a pew method the follow- • ing plan is suggested for discus-I sion, amendment and criticism; 1, The convention to consist of, one delegate from each, countryschool district, and say two yr three from each to.wn ward in the 1 county. f " / 2. That nit ~ the delegates lie chosen at the same lyne and in like manner, a day or two-prior to he county convention.

Assessments.

Editor Republican:—An injustice that exists, and perhaps may exist for a long time to come, is the inequalities of taxation. One inan gives in all of his property, honestly, another with a conscience like a piece of “elastic” swears his personal property what he has listed, when he has notes and accounts amounting to thousands of dollars uuassessed. Not many years since one of our wealthy men gave in his personal property at between three arid four thousand dollars, when he had notes amounting to many thousands of dollars uuassessed. Another bad a large I amount of mortgage notes, over 1 fifty thousand dollars unassessed, j The honest, conscientious man, i gives in all of his property and not only pays his own taxes but upon that honest assessment he has to pay a higer rate because the dishonest —like Auannias of old “withholds ’ a part of his or as much i as he can cover up. i The County Board of' Commissioners should order the Auditor to make out a list of the mortgage notes as shown by the records, and . put the same in the hands of the ! Assessors for their use in Hie next assessment. The tax payers should ; see that reliable men are elected 'assessors next April. More anon’.; Justice.
