H. E. PATTISON,

Chin. Rep. Cen. Com. 10 Disk

Fritz Tk. Sbitter, of Mt Vernon, is also a candidate for Secretary of State, and has favored us with a neated printed circular announcing the fact. Fritz Th. may be a ven nice sort, of a man, probably is. .but his wierd and unearthly cognomen is Very ,much against him, arul besides republicans up this way seem to take a neighborly in the ( welfare of Clias. F. of Grown Point, and we ink Fritz Th. will have to look • little further.

Simon P. Thompson has received the nomination for State Senator for the counties of Jasper, Newton and Benton. Mr. T. is a gentleman for whom we entertain the highest regard, and he is every way qualified to do honor to the position ho seeks.— Rochester Republican.

' H. E. Fatfisitn, Chairman of the Republican congressional district committee, issues notice that the republican congressional convention will be held at Valparaiso, on Thursday, August 19th. The basis of representation is one delegate for each huudred republican votes, and one for each fractional part of one hundred, over fifty. This gives Jasper county thirteen delegates.

; —— -•—••••/ s._.. Everybody should read, Governor Foraker’s life of Jeff Davis-. Here it is. “Whatever otluff's represent, this man, Jefferson Davis, who talks about liberty,represents human slavery,The degradation of labor, the treason sis secession and rebellion, the horrors and infamies of Libby and Andersonville, all, in short, that is most malicious, vicious aud damnable in American history.”

Simon P. Thompson has always taken an active and working part in the politics of this district lie is conceded to be one of the best lawyers in the circuits of northern Indiana, and is especially strong in argument rind debate. Most of our' late s representatives in the State councils have been of the quiet, conservative type. Not so with Simon Peter. We predict that the opposition will be made keenly aware of his presence in the State Senate. — Keniland Ga.relic. 7 *:

The Hon. D. E. Streight, of Fowler, wlio was one of the most active and influential opponents of the nomination of S. P. Thompson, says in the Fowler Era of July 15th: “We have to bear and forbear to insure success. On only personal grounds the Senatorial nominee is" very unfelisliable to tlie writer, yet lie cannot, and will n6t let that fact alienate his support. Let us continually bear in mind liow important it is that in all our political actions, we cultivate a spirit of harmony and unity, and thereby insure victory, instead of doing that which invites discord and disorder.”

Indianapolis Journal: . The Democratic House of Representatives lias passed one of the vetoed pension bills over the President's head. Tn this case Mr. Cleveland roundly lectured Congress for its carelessness hr investigating pension clni me. saying that the claimant under the bill had never applied for a pension to the department. The next day* a ’Republican Congressma?i exhibited to the House the papers in the case, taken from the files in the Pension Bureau, enveloped in their official jacket. In this instance Mr. Cleveland was a nice person to lecture Congress about carlessness. But he got a ehauce to indulge in a sneer against a Union soldier.

A mass convention of temperance Republicans was held in Indianapolis last week, the attendance from all sections of the state being large. The sentiment of the convention was decidely in favor of the advocacy of a law permitting local option by counties, districts, or cities, as the electors might prefer. Resolutions condemning the liquor traffic and declaring in favor of local option were passed and a committee was appointed to present them to the state nominating convention and ask their adoption by tiiat body. Delegates were appointed to the national Republican qutr-saloon conference which meets in Chicago Sept.. 16th, and an executive committee consisting pf thirteen members was appointed to urge the nomination ot candidates for the legislature pledged to carry out the principles of local option.

Political Slander.

The political campaign of 1886 has opened and already the foul brood of demagogues whose only hope of success is through the power of slander, have begun tlieir work. From a full heart of veil dm pomes that wanton malice which thrives only by the distraction of the reputations of other and-better men. With lying words they cut good rneu’s '.tlwoats, and with winks, and chuckles they throw u shallow over the blameless life. A few simple hints which if carefully studied and applied will help to test the character of political defamation, will not be out of place at this time. Study the character and political associations of the man who publishes the injurious matters. It may *be and often is a mere mirrored reflection of his own depravity and the vile practices of his own political family. ‘•That is infected which the infected spy .'’ It may’ be that the slanderous tales have been devised by some villain who is scheming for his own advantage or in by some ambitious but umlisciplined character whom disappointment lias made vindictive. A slanderer is usually a whelp of sin whose marks and brands are easy of discernment to the careful observer. is the plant which enmity feeds upon,” but anger upon the part of those who are the objects of the slanderers’ arts is a mere loss of self-control and can do no good. Destroy the spider’s iveb of falsehood and sophistry and the venomous creature at once replaces it with another fabric of the same construction. Whoever believes, without the best evidence, an evil report is either a wicked person or a mere child in sense and understanding. .A.voter who acts suddenly upon the suggestions of a slander in casting his ballot afterwards has leisure to,reflect that he did a very mean or a Very foolish thing, and for the benefit of a contemptuous and implacable enemy, who only despises him because he was so easily gulled. , • It is the daily and. the nightly study of many s os tire leaders of the political party now in'; power and which has brought us, in the language of one of its post-mast-ers, at Goodland, to our “present unjust, iniquitous, brutal and dangerous condition of society,” in dividing the counsels and defeat4ng~the p uvposes -of. -the. repnbliean party. When they get in office by such devices they’mock at the simplicity of their dupes> and repeat the same- work at each succeeding campaign. Politicians who succeed by such means are adepts by long practice and republicans should exercise an unceasing vigilance to avoid, being misled and betrayed Jby them.

Democratic Failure.

The failure of the Democracy to reduce national expenditure was expected. Its reduction of the number of ex-soldiers of tlie Undon employ ed-irr The publio departments was expected; its increase of the number of ex-Confederates so employed was expected. Its abandonment of its professions of .tariff reform was expected, its hostility to the enforcement of the civil service law was expected; its failure to pass any desirable pension law was expected; its refusal to furnish tlie country wdth a war navy was expected. It has disappointed the country in none of these things. Its defeat and disruption at the next general election is also expected and it is laboring hard to accomplish the fulfillment of this last and most ardently desired expectation of civilization. — Indianapolis 'Times.. _ , .7 . .7

Editor A. J. Bowser, of the Chesterton,Porter county, Tribune was recently severely choked by Dr. Marr, for continued attacks in the paper, and now the Tribune man has gone west to look for a location where thrashing editors is not one of the customs of the country.

Queer!

Iron Clad arc. 7 ( : ft is singular, if free trade is so goorit for the mechanic and laboring man, that our laborors and mechanics are not rushing over to free trade England. So far from this, mechanics and.workers of all kinds are rushing from all the blessed and prosperous free trade countries upon the face of ‘the earth to protective tariff America! Queer that things will so perversely work that theorizers and political demagogues of all grades are proved “liars as low down aßtothe lungs.” _ .

Didn't Advertise. The Logansport Journal of a late date says: “A printer recently walked into a certain store on his rounds to see if they desired anything in the way of advertising and noticed a drummer standing by the counter with a sample case ready to open. “Anything you desire to say in the paper this week?” inquired the printer of the man behind the counter. “No,” said the business man, “I wouldn’t give three hurrahs in h for advertising.” The drummer waited until the printer was half way to the door, then slowly taking up his sample case, remarked: “Well, that knocks me out. I don’t care to sell to any man in this enlightened age.who does not believe in advertising. When I want to strike up a trade with a dead man, I’ll go to the graveyard, and swap tombstones. Good day, sir.”

Representative Owen's Health

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 26.—RepiesentatiVc Owen, of the Logan sport district, has been threatened with malarial fever for nearly three weaks. and has been kept out of his seat in the House much of the time in consequence. He has been and is now paired with Representative Spriggs, an administration Democrat from New York. Mr. Owen, upon advice of his physician, Will go to Deer Park cn Saturday, if the prospects for adjournment of Congress are as bright then as now r . Ho has made a painstaking, efficient Representative, looking carefully and promptly after Avery want ot his constituents, attending all of .his’ committee meetings, remaining alwavs in his seat when his services wore needed, and has worked himself beyond his physical strength.
