’ O rth Stein has sunk a’oout five tjiousand dollars of his mother’s money received as insurance upon her litisbßod’s life, and has ab andoned his paper, the Lafayette ('oHti / and gone to St Louis. It is in lhe last degree, impijobable that so much money l could have been lost on the paper in so short tv time and it is plainly chaYg -d in Lafayette that the habit of gambling and consorting with abandoned women were the real causes of the young Qian’s wreck. Should such be the case, it is evident that ji great mistake was made in not lotting him serve out his twenty years sentence in the Missouri penitentiary.

We think it now be stated as a settled fact that Reformer Hoover’s real reason for his dropping like a hot chestnut his Indian agency was not an overweanihg desire to engage in the business of cattle raising; or even because "certain practices of the traders" galled his proud spirit beyond the limits of endurance; but rather that he choose the alternative of resigning rather than the more unpleasant one of being incontinently rejected by the Senate, We have pretty good authority for stating that some of Mr. Hoover’s most estimate acquaintances, both Democrats and Republicans, had taken pains to inform, the Senate as to certain of his business transactions, as well as some very indiscreet remarks, alleged to have been make, in regard to, “Making money and not caring a d—n how.’’ Whether this be true or not, it is-certain that Mr. Treat Durand, a very influential democrat of Remington, who went with Mr. Hoover to Washington on the occasion of the latter’s last visit there, returned in haste and alone to Remington, after a very short stay in Washington, leaving Mr. Hoover still there; and that upon reaching Remington a petition, or some document of that nature, in Mr, Hoover’s favor was very industriously circulated among the citizens of Remington, and then forwarded to Wahingotn. The petition, or papery is understood to have set forth, in glowing; colors the many virtues of Mr. Hoover. and the great confidence the signers had in his integrity, zeal &c. It is certainly strange that so much trouble would have been taken is case of a man just on the point of resigning “to engage in cattle raising in Kansas.” The petition seems to have had less effect, however, than certain sworn evidence alleged to have been adduced by those who took a different view of the "integrity and zeal" question, from, the signers of the above mentioned, petition, and the result is that Mr. Hoover has suddenly found many unthought-of beauties in the business of cattle raising in Kansas.

A Mighty Good Starter

Tbe Republican Party in Jasper County all Solid. . Tha Republicans of Jasper county have scored an old time victory, and the Board of township 'Trustees still stands 9 to 4 in i favor of the Republicans. Two townships that frerecarried in 1886, Newton and Walker, have, been lost, bfft two others that we-ldst in 1884, Hanging Grove and Wheatfield, have been recovered. BY TOWXSHIK'I Manion.— In Marion township Elzer Ik. Griswold; Rep,, is elected trustee over Jasper Kenton, Dem., by a majority of 111. H. AV’. Porter, Rep., assessor over Crockett, "Dem., by lOS, J. W. Powell, Wm. H. Wood/ Rep., and Bruce White, Dem., were elected constables. White’s majority over Lyman iiea, was only two votes. Hanging Ghove.—Jesse Gwin, Rep., trustee, over David Culp, Dem., by 7 majority. D. D. Redmond, Rep., Assessor, over Fred Stiers, Dem., by 36 majority. Barkley.-—John L. Nicholsy Rep., trustee, 57 majority. Wallace Murray, Rep., assessor, 56 majority.' 4——•—s—— . Newton.-—Jackson Freeland, Deim, 2() majority over W. D. Sayler. Chas. Paxton, Dem., assessor, over John T. Sayler, 18 majority. Jordan. —Henry Welch, Dem.,

trustee over A. J. Yeoman, Rep., 40 majority. McGlynn, Dem., assessor over Wesley Reed, Rep., 40. majority. Wheatfield. — L. P. Shirer, Rep., trustee, Democratic assessor. Union.—Stephen T. Comer, Rep. trustee, by 22 majority. Austin Lakin,. Dem., assessor over Cox, Rep., one majority. Milroy.—Washington Scott, Indepehdent Dem., over Lashbaugh, Democrat. Richard Foulks Rep. assessor. Walker. - Fred Meisner, Dem., over Willard Stockwell, Rep., 6 majority. William Spriggs Dem., over Wm. Kennedy 12 majority. Balance of ticket Republican. Keener.- —M. F. Schwankie Rep. trustee, over C. O. Spencer Ind. 60 majority. D. E. Fairchild, Rep. assessor over W. C. Tyler, Ind., 37 majority. Balance of officers also Republidan. Gillam. Jas. R. Guild, Rep trustee, over Adam Hess, Dem., 37 majority. R. R. Faris, Rep. assessor. Kankakee —J. N, White, Rep., trustee, and entire Republican ticket, by a small majority. CARPENTER. —O. M. Vickery, Rep; trustee. P. H. Lally, Rep. assessor. In Newton-townshitp he Republicans threw away their chance for uccessfully disregarding the claims, of locality in making nominations. Walker township also, was lost through bad management or bad faith, on the part of some Republicans.

& that ollie.', he will be declared, nominated, without further proceedings. For instance: -Should Brown, Jones and Smith all be candidates for Coroner, and. should the total number of votes east for Coroner be, say 1000, and should Browm receive 501 df these, or a clear majority over all, he will be nominated. Thus far the proceedings have been the same as in any ordinary primary convention; but in* case Brown should have received, say 400 votes, and each of his competitors 300, then Brown not have a clear ma jority pf ah the votes fast for Coroner, and; in that case, the convention would proceed to nominate a candidate, the same as in any ordinary delegate convention; and Brown would have to stand his chances against the field. The convention -would lie equally, at liberty to nominate either him, or Smith, of Jones; or they might even take up a new man, who had not been voted for at the primary at all. To sum up in few words, then, the method of nominating is like i any ordinary jjrimary . election, so | far as any candidate, has a clear majority of the popular vote over ALL of his competitors; and it is like any ordinary delegate .couvenTibn in cases wlTefe ho _ c indidate has a clear majority of the popular vote over ALL of Iris competitors.

The Sentinel asserts, in effect, that this paper received for years from a Democratic Clerk, on the demand of partisan attorneys, nine-tenths of the legal printing connected with his office. And yet the Sentinel knows that the books in the Clerks office will show that during the incumbency of said Democratic Clerk, that paper received at least half of the printing referred to, and that in face of the fact that nearly all of the printing from that offices is placed by law, in the hands of the parties concerned in the litigation, or their attorneys, and that the Clerk really has no printing to dispose of. On the other hand the Sheriff has full control of his printing, and although our neighbor asserts that his "observations of the Democratic officials in other counties in this matter” leads him to a different conclusion from what we hold, he does not undertake to mention any Democratic officials who have given any patronage to Republican papers which was in their power to give to Democratic papers; and he knows very well that if any such instances occur they are exceedingly rare exceptions, to an almost invariable rule.

THIS IS REFORM.

Here are a few specimen pointers illustrating the manner in which Cleveland’s administration is carrying out the principles of Reform, (with a big R). How do the decent Democrats of Jasper county enjoy them? In Rhode Island a Democrtic postmaster has been appointed who had been within three months preceeding arrested nine times for the violation of the liquor law. In Pennsylvania a man was appointed to the mint, who forged a letter from Neal Dow to influence the German vote. The new Democratic postmaster at Lincolnville, Maine, was at the time of his appointment serving a term in the Portland jail for misdemeanor. A Democrat uNjAlWr.dd appointed to a place in the Jmreau of Labor statistics has served a term in the penitentiary. • Kichard Board, of Kentucky, appointed clerk in the Railway Mail was arrested three times in Cincinnati for obtaining money under false pretends. He was arrested twice in Kentucky for robbery and once arrested in Texas. A short time alter he was appointed he committed a number of | robberies and to-day is in jail at Santa | Fe for stealing from the money order service. The janitor of.the money order oflico in Cincinnati has served three years in the penitentiary for highway - robbery? JaekL'onnelly, appointed Statistieal Agent of the Agricultural Department, was formerly “Chairman uftbeDemoccratic State Committee" ’ of Ohid. Connelly has a record of imprisonment in the Lake county (O.) jail for stealing a pi’oniissorylvote,and h^bs’caiye/Jbeing sent to the penitentiary because I: was shown tSat'The proniSSsory note being yyorth less than its face value the-offensc was not grand larceny.
