County Treasurer, County Sheriff, County Surveyor; County Coronor, County Commissioner for the J?irst District, County Commissioner for . the Third District. Mass conventions of the Republican voters of the several civil townships and voting precincts of Jasper county will be held on Saturday, April 28, 1888, at two o'clock p. in., to elect delegates to the county convention .above called, at the following named places: In Marion township, South Precinct, in the court house, in Rensselaer.

White Post township, in P ulas ki county, in which is the town of Medaryville, elected the. entire Republican ticket, last Monday, except a single road supervisor. This is the first time the Republicans have had any show in that township, in the memory of man. It was generally expected that nearly all the railroads leading out of Chicago would be tied up by a big strike, yesterday, but at the last moment, the intended strikers weakened, and abandoned their intention, and the danger seems permanently averted. /

The Jasper County Republican Central Committee met last Saturday afternoon and arranged the time, place and manner for nominating the county, ticket. The method decided upon was a straight delegate convention. The delegates will be chosen at mass conventions in precints and townships, on Saturday, April 28, and the convention will be held on the Saturday following, May 5. One delegate is allowed for every ten Republican votes cast in 188 G, and one for each fraction of tens of five or more.

The Thing That Stings.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. This is the passage in the speech of Senator Ingalls that worries a great many delicate people:' “As for myself I would say that the nomination and election of Grover Cleveland has made the pretensions of any American citizen" to the presidency acceptable. There is no man in this country whose ignorance is so profound, whose obscurity so impenetrable, whose antecedents so degraded’ that he has not the right to aspire to the presidential nomination by the Democratic party.” The country owes thanks to Senator Ingufis for speaking these pl aft words. The Cleveland falsehood and imposture has gone about far enough, end has become a nuisance and ap insolence.

Presidential Preferences.

Ken tlaml Gazette. At the township convention held in the court house last Saturday, a ballot was taken to ascertain who was the presidential preference of the Republicans of this, Jefferson township. The vote ptood as foL lows: Gresham 44 Harrison • 12 Blaine 16 Lincoln 17 Sherman 8 Scattering 6 Total ~..103

Senator Ingalls Waves the Bloody Shirt.

Senator Ingalls has written to RaProad Commissioner Greene, of of Kansas the following letter, putting a new construction on his so called attack made on Generals Hancock and McClellan, in his recent speech: / V—.ZTT.T “The Democracy and their allies have, grossly missrepresented me, and endeavored to break the force pf my arraignment by perr sonal assaults, and by distortion of my language. Every man of intelligence knows that my allusions to Hancock and ‘ McClellan were not as soldiers, but as Democratic candidates for the presidency. As such they were allies of the Confedercy, as Grover Cleveland is, and as every Democrat must be who aspires to that office, because be must be elected by the 153 votes of the solid South, whichisaß muubAnaggressive and potential force in our politics a 8 it was in 1860. Unless the Repubhean party has the courage and intelligence to wage the ensuing campaign upon the platform -of etpiftl and- exwt jtrstice to ult under the law they will fail, as they deserve to fail.

The Vote in Marion Township

, In Marion township the entire ißepublican ticket is elected by large majorities. The Democrats held their convention Saturday night and got up a full ticket, with Wm. M. Hoover. ©x-County Treasurer, al its head, for Trustee. The Prohibitionists also got out a partial ticket, with Jasper Kenton for Trustee. They worked harder than anybody else, but did not even succeed in casting as large a vote as they did in 1886. The following is the vote of the township, in detail, by precincts. ■ ; — z y ■ ' ' ’ ■” - i I | r ~ Trustee; ,„ ■ „ GrcentieM, R J'*! 1 !!? Hoover.!».. •* Kenton.

The largest Vote received by any candidate was given to Holdridge Clark, for justice of the peace, being 808. The highest vote given to any Democrat was 199 to Sylveater Healy, for justice. >

STILL ON TOP.

Another Old-Time Victory for Jasper County Republicans. This is a Republican year and Jasper county will do its full share in making it so. The election in this county, last Monday, was a rousing Republican triumph, and onQ that fully demonstrates the fact that the grand old party in Jasper county is in spjendid sh,ape and full of fight and courage. In spite of the most desperate and subtile efforts of the democrats the Republicans still hold the Board of trustees by the immense majority of nine to four. And at least one of that four was elected in opposition to the regular democratic nominee in his township. The details of the election in the county show that the Democrats have elected Trustees in Milroy, Newton?- Union qnd Walker townships. As compared with the result of two years ago, it will be seen that the Republicans have gained Jordan and lost Union. All the other townships stand as they did two years ago, in respect to the politics of the trustees. The returns that have thus far come in from the out townships are so incomplete that we are only able to give the more important general results.

In Hanging Grove Jesse C. Gwin, Republican, is re-elected Trustee, but the Democrats elected some of their candidates, including the assessor. In Gillam the Republicans reelected J as. R. Guild, by 36 majority, over the combined votes of the Democrats and Prohibitionists for their combined candidate, Adam Hess. All the other Republican candidates in the township are also elected. In Barkley township, “Nubbin Ridge,” has downed “Wall Street” and J. F. Iliff is elected over G. H. Brown, Jr., by majority in spite of the most desperate efforts- of the opposition assisted by a few disaffected Republicans. The entire Republican ticket is elected. In Walker township a large number of the Republicans in the west end of the township voted for Fred Meiser, the Democratic candidate and he was re-elected by 34 majority, over Andrew Boston, the Republican candidate. The other township officers elected are about evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. In Jordan township J. A. Me-. Farland, the regular Republican candidate, is elected over the sorehead ex-Bepublican Prohibition Democrat Henry I. Adams. The rest of the officers elected are pretty 'evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, except that the Prohibitionists have the glory of electing one road supervision In Newton township the Democrats re-elected Jackson Freeland, for Trustee, by 9 majority, and also elect * all the other township officers, except one road supervisor. The Republicans had a splendid candidate and made a good fight, but party linps were strictly diawn and the Democratic majority could not be overcome. the Republicans were, as usual, obliged to put up an independent candidate Bgii.iust tli&ir Fegular nominee, inorder to get any amusement at all, out of the election. The result was .the election of John F. Bruner, the regular Republican candidate for Trustee, over David Gleason, Independent candidate, by 28 majority. All the other regular Republican nominees were also elected. Kankakee township has again covered itself with glory by electing a Republican Trustee; Edward T. Biggs defeating Robert McGuire by. 22 majority. The entire Republican ticket goes in, by about the same majority. In WheatfieldJLewis P.-Shirer, the Republican Trustee is re-elect-ed. The result on the rest of the ticket has not been reported. ! In Union township the Democrats elected Wm. Cooper Trustee, over Moses R. Cox, Republican, by eight majority. In Carpenter township Wm. Roadifer is elected Trustee over James Green, Greenbacker, on a fusion ticket, by 27 majority. A pretty bitter local fight between town and country Republicans previous to the nomination, ao- ■ cotints for the large falling off in the Republican majority in the township. The result in the town1 ship except for trustee, has not I been reported. In Milroy township James Les- ■ let, the regular Democratic nomi- ■ nee, was defeated by Hezekiah Kesler, Independent Democrat .Y | The net result for the whole county, on township trustees, is thus nine straight Republicans, three straight Democrats and one

Independent Democrat; which is exactly the political completion of the Board or Trustees elected in 1886.
