The next fellow that fools with the sacred “.Freedom of the Press/* in this town, is likely to find it loaded with a number 22 revolver, and a 54 caliber hickory cane. The whole outfit ought to he labelled "dangerous.” —- Mr. Shroyer, of Logansport; haring declined to be a candidate for the republican nomination for state treasurer, the Journal of that town, ij* now commemli’Tg very freely-Mr- N. S. By rain, of the'wholesale dry goods firm of By ram, Cornelius & Co., of Indianapolis", for the nomination. Simon P. Thompson received the republican senatorial nomination at the Goodland convention last Thursday. -He will not only l>e elected by a rousing majority but will moke a senator who -sill discharge his duties faithfully and satisfactorily to his constituents. -MonUeello //. rol l. ~ The democrats of Pulaski county nominated their county ticket • ast Saturday. The method- of nominating was, the straight primary election, using ballots with the names of nil the candidates printed tliereoimaftcr the man muadopted by the republicans of Jas~~per Tcmutyrin ißtf*2~nud' 1884. Kitt, of the U-uodlauil Herald; intimates that he means to lay out the “.small dry .politicians", utmp dreadful rate now that lie has again assumed control of his paper. Al iS a “bad man from way-back, ’ and will probably p ipulate set. rid private grave-yards, figuratively speaking, before his deep wrath that cries sot vengeance is ay: aged.

Major Bitters stood up and fought like a man, and to have been thrashed under such circumstances would have been no disgrace; and mow he don’t fill his paper witlftiypoeritical canting and whining about his “meekness” and his “weakness,” and being “watched for” and and brutally beaten” Ac., nor does be we venture to say, slip out into the Woods on circus day. to practice with his revolver, nor make himself a common laughing stock by constantly carrying around a bludgeon half as Targe as a fence post.

The official apportionment of del* egates to the Republican state con. vention has been published. Jasper coirnty will hay© but six delegates in the convention. The time for the convention has not been officially announced. ' ' , " Thejiame of Prof. E. E. Smith, 1; ; of I’urill)' . is frequently im'il- | tinned in connection with the Be* i pnhlicnn nominationfor State ! Suj>erintendent of Public InstrucI lion. Ho would make an excellont Superintendent, and his nomi ination would lie a fitting eondern- | nation of tlie unjust manner of his removal from his professorship in ! Purdue. The present editor of the Goodie m! Horald in a democratic post.-! j master. Ilis position as an bfficej holder and leader in. the ‘‘political j gang” now in power, has givcu him sueh a clear insight into the gen* | (>oil cpssedness c r f the said gang that it lias actually touched his conscience and caused him tp break out as follows: We belieye recent developements have opened tlie eyes of honest |>eo pie to the dishonest methods employed by small-fry' political bosses to foist upon honest voters representatives of political gangs,. Lb ha subsist only by thwarting the l will of the people, ami under the ! cloak of a party, the masses of \ which are honest, perpetrate deeds *of villi any that would demoralize paradise in 30 days, and that the time is ripe for the purification qr j ext'rmination of ali such. -The ; 'Hi‘mld wilt not be a political or- ; gan in any sense ot the word. We I regard the light as The People vs. i The'Politicians. The llx'vnld will espouse the cause of the people as against bosses, traitors and politioal barnacleST j The unhappy young man should, at once, resign his position as a 'leader of the gang he condemns so severely, and join the republicans, the party of the people.

We know that the financial affairs of Jasper county are managed wisely, honestly and with time-economy. The misrepresentations, false arguments and absolute falsehoods of the disorganizing Me.<.-tn;;e, m regard to these matters.mro :>u attack, not alone' upon the county Auditor and the county Commissi mors, as that paper would have it appear, but upon nil the county officers, upon the Judge of the Circuit court, and upon,the entire republican par ty .of Jasper county. The false ness and themaliciousness of these statement-of this-disorg:uiizer. are susceptible of demonstration, by impregnable facts, and iu-our own. time, we-propose to take occasion.. to do it. In the mean lime we feel it to be a duty we owe to the republicans of Jasper county to say to them, and especially to the leaders. the candidates and the holders offices auioiig them, t a in whatever degree they give aid, patronage or,- encouragement to this conscienceless, faithless, u ascrupulous plieet, jas + ttt tlirrt degree they fire warming a viper bf’ ingratitude iu their bosoms who will surely do his best, to ‘Sting the party to death. We knew; from the first this- was true. Hundreds of other true republicans knew tliat it was true, and nut a single issue of tiie paper lias failed to furnish unquestionable proof, of the fact.
