The Best Offer Yet.

Till Jan. Ist for Seventy-five . ~ ... Cents- - With a view of placing the Republican into as many families as possible, both as, a campaign measure, and as a means of introducing the paper upon its merits as a county paper, we have concluded to make the following exceedingly liberal offer: To any resident of the county we will semi The ReLTBLICAN, until the first of January, 1887, FOB SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS, iii advance. This exceedingly low vate scarcely more than pays the cost of the white paper, and is only open to residents of the. county-, and must lie paid in advance, <nd, of course, only applies to new subscribers, and not to persons already taking the paper.

Special NoticeSeveral considerations, of varying impojtance y have decided iis to issue The Republican upon Wednesday this week, instead of Thursday, which has long been its regular day-of publication. A—desireto meet the natural wishes of our readers for an early and complete report of the proceedings of the liolit-icahconYenticms-has been- the chief of these considerations.

General Jasper Packard, of La Porte, seems to be in a fair way of being made the Republican candidate for Congressman, in liis district, the thirteenth. The Republicans of that district cab not easily pitch on a better man The Sentinel lias not corrected iis mistatement regarding the result of the Spring election in Indiana. We again remind the able and conscientious editor of that Journal that the. Republicans, now have a majority of the Township Trustees of the state. The returns from Remington -Jow Chat the Republicans of that town have, at last, got their eyes +H>ened to the feme meaning of the --non partizan” cry by which the Democrats of that town have so long hoodwinked the Republicans. The latter have elected everything except Town Marshal. - - a —

So much of our space this week has been devoted to the reports of the ‘doings of the political Conventions that we have not been able to speak of the excellent ticket just placed in the field by the Republicans of this county, in detail. We shall endeavor to supply the unavoidable omission, next week. Simon P. Thompson will probably be a candidate for State Senator, Mr, Thompson is able and ’worthy to fill any office in the gift of the people of this State. If nominated, he will undoubtedly be elected and would thereby greatly honor the district. —Oxford Tribune. We believe the Tribune states the truth in saying that Mr. Thompson will probably l>e a candidate for the position named; and we know that it is correct in all other particulars. No abler for the position can,be found in the district tlian S. P. Thompson and, if nominated he will be triumphantly elected and make a most useful and influential member of the State Senate.

The whole South has gone wild in laudation of the unholy cause of Secession, and of lasting hatred of the North, as personated in the person of the unrepentant archtraitor, Jefferson Davis. That the extraordinary demonstrations that have greeted Davis all over that section are*in honor of the cause and not the man, is unquestionable. There were men among the leaders of the South whose qualities and characteristics entitle them to the honor of their countrymen, but Jeff Davis was notone of them. He is a cold-hearted, conscienceless conspirator, who knowingly led his people into a bloody war, purely for the gratification oLJhis own ambition. A selfish schemer, a braggart, a coward and a convicted liar, and yet, purely as the repre-. sentative of the sentiment of persistent disloyalty the whole south rises up, as one man, to do him honor. It lauds the Secession cause above the struggle for Independence, and ranks Davis above IKeaugus^Washington himself. But if this great and earnest exhibition of the true state of the Southern feeling in regard to the secession movement will have the effect of opening the eyes of the people of the North to the niter falsity of Democratic representations regarding the loyalty and reconciliation of theUonfederates, and to,-their unfitness to beeiitrusted with the administration of the Ygev^mnenir^iny-^till-Jiate—and-despise, then it will, unintentionally, have served a good purpose.

Stand by your Home Paper.

_Xlie following from the Hartford '"City Times, while-not entirely new, contains sofimeh of worth that it will bear reproducing: “You may be able to get a large city weekly filled with accounts of murders, scandal eases, cock fights etc., for the same money that you pay for your local paper, but those city weeklies do not advertise your town and make your property more valuable. They don’t help along vour churches; they don’t publish your society news; they say nothing of you or your town, and have no interest in you. A good newspaper is as much advantage to a town or county as are good schools. If one of our farmer friends should happen in one of these offices be would find out in abotft two minutes that he had no cordial welcome there, such as he would receive in the printing office at home. Stand by your home paper for it always stands by you, and is ever on the lookout for you.” The above is from an exchange and is very true, but we are sorry to say that a great many don’t look at it in that fight. They don’t consider that they derive any benefit from a home, paper other thet the mere pleasure of reading what it contains. They don’t seem to realize the fact that the local paper is- continually lafcoring for the upbuilding of home in every respect, while the city naper does nothing for them.

It Succeeds Admirably

The new Method greatly Favored bv the People, and a Splendid Ticket Nominated. The fairness, wisdom and popularity of the new method of nominating the county officers has been fully established, by the result of last Thursday afternoon. The weather was most unfavorable? tlie rain falling in torrents daring much of the afternoon, and this had the effect of keeping great numbers of voters away from the mass conventions, and the only wonder is that the vote was so large. Very nearly 800 votes were cast throughout the county, or almost two thirds of the entire Republican vote of the county. It is safe to had the day been' favorable, the entire vote would have fallen but little short of 1,200. The, method gives the masses of the party a full chance to make their preferences felt, and they •appreciate and avail themselves of the opportunity.

By the conditions of the method any candidate who received a majority of the popular vote over all of his competitors, was nominated thereby. Tlie final count showed that, by this rule, candidates were nominated Thursday for all the offices except Treasurer and County Commissioner, For Clerk and Sheriff there was no opposition to the present incumbents, and they both received the unanimous vote of the mass conventions. For Auditor there were- three excellent and popular men in the field, and it is a surprising demonstration of the great personal popularity of the present incumbent, as well as of the strong disposition that exists among the people to reward a faithful and efficient officer with a second term, that Mr. Robinson’s total vote lacked but a single one of being exactly three times as great a& that of his leading competitor, and exceeded the combined vote of both of his competitors by two to one, with 80 votes to spare. Mr. Robinson carried every township except Gillarn and Mheatfield, both of which were carried by Mr. Wood; Gillam by a large, and Wheatfield by a very small majority. For Treasurer, as was to be expected from so many candidates, no one had a majority over all. Washburn was tar ahead of all others, with 294 votes, or exactly twice as many as his leading comp t tor Mr. Powell, who had 147. Mr. Burk, with 89 votes, was third in

the list. Washburn received the largest vote in the eight townships of Hanging Grove, Gillam, Barkley, Walker, Marion, Keener, Kankakee and Union. Powell was ahead in Carpenter and Milroy townships, Burk in Wheatfield, Waymire in Jordan, and Benjamin in Newton. The vote on Recorder was a fair counterpart and fully as surprising as that for Auditor. As was- the case For Auditor, three good men •were in the field,, but the present incumbent, Mr. Antrim, who ran, according to a common comparison made by th e ruder people, “like a bay steer with grubs in bis back,” had very nearly three times as many votes as his leading opponent, and twice as many as both the others with 106 votes to spire. He carried every township except Gillam, and there it was an even standoff between him and Mr. Coppess.

For Coroner there was no opposition to Mr. Blue, and he received: all the votes except some 50 which were scattering. For surveyor the only opponent of Mr. Thrawls, the present incumbeut, was A. M. Munden, of Union township, who came out as a candidate only a week be fore the mass conventions. Thrawls' vote was 533 to 160 for Munden. For OofflinissicnerJkere was no formal candidate,' and the vote ran wild, so to speak, and votes were cast for a dozen different pien. Cff these Mr. Nichols, the present Commissioner, received 218, and J. F Watson, of, Marion township,

was second, -with 115 votes. The work of choosing the delegates to the county convention was done at the mass conventions with great care and wisdom. Intelligent, fair minded men, and represenative Republicans were selected, everywhere, and great care taken Tn wvery iownahip *n make thats choice of delegates in such a man-’ Her as to give to every locality as full ft representation as its number of Republican voters would entitle it to. Below is the result of the popular ballot for choice of candidates for the county offices:
