“Our Simon” waves triumphant

Jasper county Republicans take everything in sight, but they don’t' want the earth. They know when they get enough. It is now evident that the democratic papers were wise in not waiting for the official returns to come in before they rejoiced so exceedingly over the Oiegon election, as it is now known that all tney have is the governor, who was elected through the efforts of the prohibitionists. The republicans have the congressman, three state officers and both houses of the state legislature. ■a." . . ' ' Horace loses no opportunity to thrust the subject of his late castigation into the faces of the public; but he whines like a sick puppy because The Republican follows his example to a certain extent, and devotes a little space to that subject ' jVhat hurts Horace the worst, we doubt not, is the fact that so many of our exchanges made comments unfavorable to him, in connection with the matter, while only a solitary one, and that a Democratic sheet, said a word in his behalf. Our neighboring editors are able to look upon the whole matter from an unbiased standpoint, and besides, many of them have known ffpyace for a long time and are able to siie up his true measure, l o a dot

The Republican State Central Cmtini'.ti-e met at at Indianapolis Monday* night in conference with a number of leading Republicans from different quarters of the State. All 'the members were present except from the First dis-' trH —The reports w£fe’ exceedingly encouraging, showing the party to lie in excellent fighting trim, and in a good state of organization. After the conference the committee wasiiii session until midnight. The following were appointed an executive committee: John C. New, 11. C. Adams, Stanton J. Penile, of Indi inapolis; W. S. Silver, of Bluffton; J. D. Early, of Terre Haute; 11. S. Bennett, of Evansville; and \\j. 11. Hart, of Frankfort. The date of the State

Convention wa, ’.-it to Iho determination of the executive committee. It is reported that the Democratic committee has fixed upon the 10th of Augu st as the date of their Convention. The Republican convention will be held about the 251 h of August or the Ist of September. ■ The fortunes of politics have given to Jasper county Republicans all three of the candidates for district offices to be elected this year. This drcumstance, however, will not, we are confident, be the source of any bitterness or’jealousy upon the part of our brother republicans in the other counties of tlie district. So far as the candidatesfor State Senator and Prosecutor are concerned, both the other counties have furnished the Republican candidates, since Jasper county has: and in the matter of candidate for Representative, which concerns only Jasper and Newton counties, the Republicans of the latter county know full well that their Jasper county brethren are always ready to do what is just and fair, and will concede to them the candidate whenever it is their turn to furnish him. Our Benton county brethren will not feel sore, because they have often been favored in the same way themselves, as for instance, in 1882, when Jasper county had no district candidate, they had the candidate for Senator and Prosecutor, and also two candidates for Joint Ilepre.sentative. ■ ■. :; —

Soldiers and Soldier's Widows and Orphans.

The enrollments made by the various township assessors in Jasper county this year> shows the number of soldiers, soldier s widows and soldier’s orphans given in the subjoined table. It should be stated, by way of explanation, that in many cases the assessors have failed to enroll the soldier’s orphans: and it is almost certain that many of them failed to find all the soldiers and soldier’s widows in their townships.

The Senatorial Convention

i The Senatorial convention at (1 < >od 1a n dlast Thursday,wa sw i 111 - out doubt, one of tin- most ing political contests ever held in the district. 'Three excellent mid sdeffirviTi'g "Tnen were seeking the nbmimitio’is; and the contest was made especially iuterfsting ■ from tile fact tlmt .one of the candidates was a man of most remarkable and deserved personal jjopularity, and another a man of most exceptional abilities and peculiar intellectual fitness for tire duties of the office for which lie was seeking the nomination. It was seen long before the convention, that the tsmS test lay between the two men above, alluded' to, and the fri«-n« Is of each were i>resent in large numbers at the convention, io watch the progress of the battle, and,say a good word for the man of their choice when the opportunity oilen-d. ■ But'.although-it was a sharply contested Battle, It was at the same time, an entirely elderly, good-natured and„iionor-

ab’.e one. The convention was called to order by M. F. Chilcote, chairman of the Jasper county central committee, and Col. D. E. Streight, of Benjo-h county made temporary chairman aud Dr. J. A. Hatch, of of Newton county, temporary secretary. The following committees ave+e- appointed. On Organization:— „ . I’. I'. Jot:n>on, of Ucatr.n county, J. F. Johnson of Newton county, B. R. Faris, of,Jasper county. On credentials:,—

Hon. W. W. Gilman and Z. F. Little, of Newton county. T. L. Merrick and J. W. Freeman, of Benton. S . . _ r _ Hon. E. P. Hammond and Dr. M. B. Alter, of Jasper. On Organization : - , ' D. Fraser and 11. U. Bugbee, of Ben- ■ - ; - i. ’ • - ■ --- James Sheets and J. M. Wasson, of Jasper. J, K. JUyers and D. M. Graves, of Newton county. The convention then adjourned till after dinner, and upon re-as-seinbling the committee on organization recommended Hon. W. W. Gillam for permanent chairman, Dr. J. A. Hatch for secretary, and T. L. Merrick and D. H. Guild for assistant secretaries. The committees on credentials reported that there, were 80 delegates’ present. The committee on order of business reported rules governing the proceeding of the convention. When nominations fivere called for, B. F. Johnson presented the name of W. H. Dague: Judge E. P. Hammond that of S. P. Thompson and Goo. G. Jenkins that of Chas. W. Hartley. The first ballot was then taken •with the following result: Thompson 36. Hartley,29. Dagye....... 15. The whole number of votes cast was 80, thus making 41necessary to a choice. The fact that Mr. Dague received less than half the votes of his county shows how completely county lives were ignored in the convention. v The second ballot resulted as follows: . Thompson .38. Hartley’3s. Dague,.... 7. Although this ballot came within three votes of nominating Thompson it nover-the-less produced a profound feeling of uu-easiness-amongmany of his friends. Of the 8 votes which had . forsaken Dague after the first ballot 6 had gone to H artley and only 2 to Thompson. If the remaining seven Dague men should divide in the way and as near as might be in the same proportions on the third . ballot, the result would have been a tie. That was not to be the result however, for when the votes of the third ballot were coufited they gave the following result: Thompson..... .41. Hartley .34. Dague 4. One vote was thrown out of this ballot for some irregularity. Beports are contradictory as to whom it was intended for, but the point is of no consequence, as Mr. Thompson had enough to nominate him, , without regard to the thrown out vote. The chairman declared Mr. Thompson the nominee of the convention and Mr. Dague in a very graceful manner moved that the nomination be made unanimous, which motion was carried without a dissenting vote. • ...

Some Sound Remarks Upon The Prohibition Question.

' Indianapolis '’dtirual I It is not worth while, perhaps, to repeat the old formula that “prohibition i does not prohibit,” but it is always ! worth while to keep before the people : the fallacy of the belief that the enact- ! ment of a prohibitory eohstitutional ' amendment, or the passage of a pfo- , hibitory law, is a full and final settleJ meat of the liquor 'question. Krohibiti ion does not prohibit any more than i local option prohibits, or than high taxI at'on prohibits. The difference is only !in degree and net in kind, if there be i any difference at all. To adopt lanI guage we have lately h.eard r prohibition whiskey is just arfbad as as local-option whiskey or high taxation whiskey, and that there is prohibition whiskey is a fact not to be discredited. Indeed, it is proved by the testimony of P.’ohibiti ionists themselves.- In the Slate of . Maine they have had a prohibitory law , for more than thirty years,- and public j sentiment is such that the law could ■ not be repealed. And yet there is whiskey; and plenty of it, in/ the State of Maine, just as there is whiskey in the State of Nebraska under a high-tax. ation law, or; possibly, in Georgia, ‘ Missouri and Kentucky under localoption laws. . It is found necessary to have a Prohibition party in the State of

Alain e. It is headed by General Neal Dow, and it has recently met and nominated candidates for office. The candidate for Governor, in bis speech accepting the nomination, said: “It is high time that something: -should be done in this State to put down the liquor traffic. ” Delegates to the convention all united in this view. One said that “in his town of Brunswick rum was freely sold.” Another, a clergyman, said “there are forty saloons in Belfast,” a place of 5,000 population. With these ex pi essions before them, from Prohibitionists in a State that has had a prohibitory law in force fbr thirty years, backed by a public opinion quite exceptional, those deluded beings who believe in testing tlie efficacy of high taxation, or of local option, iu regulating the liquor traffic will likely adhere to their opinions, despite the sneers of the half-baked philanthropists and disgruntled statesmen who think they have discharged a columbiad when they talk of “local option whiskey” being as battas “free whiskey, ’’ and assort that all who do not join a prohibition third party, where such a delectable compound is in - existence, arc equally responsible for the evils cf the liquor traffic with the saloon-keepers themselves. Bueh talk is the babble of the feeble-minded. ”,
