Ove$ 5 seven hundred representative Republicans wertpresent, representing seventy-two Counties of the state. 'Speeches 'were made by Gen. Harrison, Gov Porter, Major Calkins and Siu-akei Sayers. A series of ringing resolutions were adopted and will set the Republicans of the state to thinking and acting. Messrs. S. . .Ih Thompson, M. F. Chileoie aud : J. B. Washburn ably represented Jasper county at the conference. A full report of the conference will be found on one of our inside pages, this week. Seven Republican Representatives were elected to Congress from the stat 9 of Indiana, in 1886 These seven men received a total : vote of 142,357. In , the state ol Georgia, at-the same election, ten | Democratic Congressmen were; elected, and received an aggregate j vote of only 27,475. The average} for each of the seven Indiana Re-1 publicans was 20,336 votes. Fcr; eadi of the ten Georgia Democrats; the average is 2,817. One Georgia Democrat has as much power in t electing Congressmen as Indiana Republicans! What is} the meaning sos this strange disparity? Simply that through the 1 means of a thoroughly developed f and scientific system of fraud the , Republican vote us Georgia has] long been entirely suppressed and' Democrats, kaowiug that their-mn-iidatee will be eountld in, in any meat, do not take the vtmecessary trouble to go so the f>oMs. |

Erastus Pea6o*ck, ritail rout agent oh the route from Toledo to St, Louie, receive notice a few days ngo that he was dismissed from the service. No explanation of the dismissal accompanied the notice, and no excuse was given. None could be made, in fact, except the true one, which is that tlio place was wanted for a Democrat Mr. Peacock has been in the service a little more than three years, has been one of the most faiththl and competent agents on the route, and his examinations and monthly records will compare favorably with any mail’s in that! branch of the public service. The loss of this position is no great matter to Mr. Peacock, as it was mighty hard work and little pay, but some facts connected with his dismissal deserve at least a passing notice. When the Democratic party went into power the President made solemn pledges to the country that, in the interest of the civil service reform, faithful I and efficient officers, in non-politi-cal positions, should retain their positions so long as they were not offensively partisan; and in case of the igin.il route agents ami ‘others in the i'i ist'il service, Postmaster General Vilas issued a solemn decree, stating plainly that faithful and efficient Republican officers who did their whole duty and did not meddle in poliics, would not only be regained in their positions but would stand the same chances for promotion as heir Democratic follows. These (hietun pledges were doubtless deidxTuteiy made with the intention if violating them. The object was to retain the. services, of the best .non until the raw democrats appointed could learn enough of the dnUnjuU* -details of the duties of ■their offices to manage them, in at -feast a half-way efficient manner:The promises have been steadily, and lhgran|Ty violated, from the first. The Republicans have stood no show for promotions and have been incontinently fired, whenever it was possible to dispense with their service...

Got Some Gas.

Tne “gas well” has made constant and fairly rapid progress, since last issue. The most interesting incident that haß occured daring the boring was the striking of a “pocket” of gas, about one 'o’clock Tuesday morning, at depth of about 700 feet. When first struck the gas would barn to the height of several feet,but the strength of the fiovv diminished very rapidly, although it would burn up, with a blaze a foot high, at any time diiring the day. This find caused some little excitement around town, but most of our people were too Well informed of the results of siifiilar discoveries in borings in siirroundiug towns to hot know that it was of no importance in itself and no valde as an indication of vvliat was lower down. ~, The well has been cased again, this time to the depth of about G3O feet and the hole is now dry and boring consequently more vapid. The progress during the last two or three days has been especially rapid. The formation is slate or shale, the geological name being Utica Shale, and it being soft and brittle is easily pierced by the drill. 100 feet in 21 hours has been about the rate of progress. Yesterday afternoon, at ‘2 o’clock, the depth of the hole was 810 feet. Trenton rock is not much farther down and it is not unlikely it will be reached by the time The Republican goes to press this week, and the most probable result of the boring be known. ■ Gas still continued to gush out in considerable quantities, yesterday afternoon, and would burn until, exthiguishadj the llame shooting up several feet, at times, Latest. -Trenton rock was readied at 2 o’clock this, Thursday, morning, at 900 feet, and! drilling immediately suspended. At 8 o’clock this morning preparations were being made to resume, r - Late advices from reliable authority are' to the effect that the “oil business at Fraiieesville is a fizzlp. • The South Bend Tribune keep's the following notice standing in its columns: “The price of a Card of Thanks in the Tribune is fifty cents in advance. It is exceedingly bad •taste to nrint a card of tlianmeDoii’t dl> it. Obituary poetry is five cents a line. Don’t print any.”

That editor came near telling a j great truth when he said that “tin 1 editor g*.ts the eredit of writing all j iffiiiFleCthaf do not meet tlio apijmiba< ion of the readers of ttorpafaw ImrAvhoe eomet'.'ipg appears that pleases the reader, ev u vo; e | wonders who wrote the pi-ce.” j It is Very annoying to some peo- | pie to be deluded into reading cleverly written notices in the ! newspapers which are only intend- | ed to draw the reader’s attention | to tln> fact that some enterprising j.storekeeper lias reduced his pricesvvith a view of clearing out what is left of his fall stock, but the annoyance gives place to pleasure when they make up their minds to avail themselves of these exceptional opportunities to buy clothing, boots and shoes and gents’ furi niching goods at nearly cost.

Would that uot one of the hopeful expecting little ones should ever he disappointed, let us see to it that the poorer ones around us are provided with something as coming from Santa Claus, as it takes so little to please a child.
