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...
