Elect by majority vote, seven (7) delegates to represent the Township at the county convention of May 22nd, 1890. 2. Cast and count a direct nominating ballot for a county ticket.e 3. Prepare two reports of tlidirect vote cast. One for the dele, gates to the county convention The other for the chairman of the County Central Committee at Rensselaer. The delegates so chosen will meet at Rensselaer, on Thursday May 22nd, 1890. _ _ D. E. Fairchild, Chairman. The Fowler Era says that the time for holding the judicial and senatorial conventions has been fixed for May 29th, and that the judicial convention will meet in Fowler and the senatorial in Goodland. Who it was that settled these the important matters, and why it was that, the wishes and conven-, ience of Jasper county were not consulted, the Era does not state, j Not long since the New Albany Tribune offered a reward of SIOO to any one who w’ould show by the figures that there ever was a time under any low-tariff law when the farmer could purchase as much for a bushel of wheat as he can now of the necessaries of life And there was not a calamity shrieker that dared to undertake the Task, The Tribune now agrees to show for a cent that the farmer can, at the present time, get for a bushel of wheat more of tlle liecessaries of life than he could under any low-tariff law we ever had, and no calamity editor or any free-trader has dared to avail himself of the second proposition either. .* The long deferred execution by electricity, or electrocution, as it is beginning to be called, of Keminiriy the Buffalo wife -minder will take place at Auburn, N. Y. some time this w’eek. At just what time no one but the officials know, that being one of the pi'ovisions of the law. This improved and humane method of dealing death to condemned felons has only been i d "TfjgjT struggle. Kemmler will be the first to be executed by this method, although a half dozen or more other murderers are now under sentence in New York and will soon be executed* in the same manner if the Kemmler job is a success. The McKinley Tariff bill is a measure which meets our fullest approbation, even though some of its provisions are the results of compromises between conflicting or seemingly conflicting interests, and we sincerely hope it will pass both hoases and become a law substantially as it has been introduced. It is a faithful embodiment of the principle of protection as advocated by the Republican party, and is a direct fulfillment of the pledges of the national Republican platform, which the people of the country indorsed in the election of President Harrison and of a Republican Congress. The committee, especially Mr. McKinley, deserves the thanks of all protectionists for the ability, patience, care and moderation they have displayed in formulating this bill.

A Purely Democratic Row.

- The New York Bon, Anti-Cleve-land and also, it seems “Anti-Fat,” Democratic paper, lately made a feeling allusion to the fact that exPresident Cleveland was adding to his adready excessive burden oi fat at an exceedingly rapid rata Mr. Cleveland's attention waa callad te this friendly paragraph by a

P. M. QUERRY.

reporter for the New York World, whereupon Mr. Cleveland, unless belied by his special organ, the World, freely expressed his longpi ut wrath towards the Editor of the Sun, Chas. A. Dana; Calling him a “si-mile old liar and thief” and saying that nothing saved him from being held personally responsible for his abuse? btrt ' ifrcr fact that lie had “paresis.” He further accused Dana of having attacked Mrs. Cleveland in his paper. This charge greatly riled the Sun man, and he gets hack at the distinguished exemplar of freetrade democracy iu the following manner: The Stuffed Prophet of William street, ima rage of wounded vanity, is thus reported: “There is only one thing” Mr. Cleveland resumed, and a tender expression lit up his face, “that I care anything about in these attacks: They are not confined to myself, it seems that the.senile Dana does not confine his warefar to men. Women are not free from liis dastardly assaults. Mrs. Cleveland has not escaped. It is bad enough for Dana to print his lying statements regarding myself; but it is infinitely more cowardly and dastardly for him- to Include, as lie has done, my wife in his attacks, Nothing could be more contemptible, or so far removed from all instincts of manhood.” To no habitual reader of the Sun it is necegsry to-say that this is ai cowardly lie. It is not the less a lie because it is uttered by a rim a who has been" President of the United States. It is not less cowardly because it proceeds from a husband whose inferiority in so cial, moral and intellectual qualities is recqgnized by" all who know the admirable woman linked to him by the name they bear ip common. Passing over the blackguard epithets in which the half drunker, deputy sheriff reappears, and finds his only possible retort, we come to this more serious matter: To provoke sympathy for himself. Mr. Cleveland deliberately drags the name of his wife into an interview intended for publication charging the Sun with an offense which, if the charge is true, ought to render this newspaper odious to every gentleman on Manhattan Island, to every honorable man who respects womanhood. The charge is false, and Mr, Cleveland knew it was false when he uttered it. There is but one answer that we care to make. We invite Mr. Cleveland to point to a line or a word that ever appeared iu the Sun concerning the good woman whose name—ho thus degrades, which justifies,’directly or indirectly, the statement contained in the paragraph quoted above. If he can not do that —and he can not, we invite the attention of the community to the portrait of a selfish poltroon, an unworthy husband, about whose conduct in this affair nothing can be said by any person of sensitive perceptions that will not leave on the coarse .•imt-swolletrlace fn-eping IVpm-be-bind the edge of lus wife’s garmen a red mark- like the sting, of a whip lash. Political Conventions. Mr. Editor:—l have for many years had an opinion that partisan nominations as well as elections should be governed by just and equitable statutes. On January sth, 1889,1 proposed senate bill No. 32 which is printed in the Senate Journal Page 341 seeking legal sanction for a free vote, a fair count and majority decision in nominating agencies. The legislative majority substituted the act of March 9, ’B9. Page 267 and 360 of acts of 1889. Thus no legislative direction is given to partisan committees as to the convenience, fairness or justice of the measures adopted to nominate tickets. The party committee have full power to prescribe when and how a ticket shall be mada In a mass or delegate convention, by the discrete use of alternates, proxies «nd committees the temporary chairman may become substantially the whole convention. A true partisan accepts results as being the best practicable with the means employed. True justice ought to accord to every member of a party an equal choice to win for his man in convention. This is quite as important as the contest for party victory at the election. In the ante-con-vention campaign the argumentum ad hominem should be peaceably and effectively employed to secure the best ticket. The post-conven-tion campaign ought to result in the best party winning. In the selection of a ticket the written ballot is far more essential to peaee, harmony and unity then in the selection. The Republican party holds to the doctrine of the

voters personal sovereignty. This unity and individually should have direct personal and delegate, expression -in nominating agencies. 1 seems to me that committeemen without too much regarding the wishes of a few who may desire to be nominated should arrange convention formulas to the convenience of the many who only desire tire best possible ticket. The Committee in our districts have fixed the date of our judicial and legislative conventions but I understand the membership and mode of action is still an .open question. . To the judgment of the committee I directly appeal and present a: FORMULA, A . _ 1. For Legislative J udicial nominations the Republicans will meet in separate districts by fifties at 7 o’clock p. m., May 27~, 1890, and select by a majority ballot ; one delegate to each convention and then cast a direct ballot for the nomination of a Judge, Prosecuting Attorney, Senator and Representative.. • 2. The delegates so elected will assemble in convention May 29, 1890 to collate the direct vote and if the direct vote does not nominate by majority the delegates will vote by ballot until nominations are made by a majority ballot of the delegates. Submitted for Improvement. Respectfully, Simon P. Thompson.

Buying Cheap and Selling Dear.

“Buy where you can buy cheapest, and sell where you can sell dearest,” shouts the attorney for free trade, and in the glitter of this trite maxim the workingman is expected to overlook the fact that right here m the United States, under our existing economic policy, he can maintain himself and his family with less exertion than it could be done in any. other country in the world. He could not increase the the ratio of his comfort and happiness to his labor by getting into all the markets within reach of commerce. In fact if lie was restricted to the highest wages paid elsewhere he would be compelled to do without the fulfillment of some desire he satisfies berm— The man who has nothing but skill and labor to sell will always find it to his advantage to get where ! the demand for these is most active; j where wage payers hunt for men to help cany on their enterprises, rather than where wage earners are compelled to hunt for employment. ,Inasmuch as this could not be if the business of the country was restricted to the few industries possible under free trade, the workingman would have all the hunting to do if that policy should prevail. The workingman is buyinig "cheapest when he secures a umxnnim of the necessities and comforts of life with a day’s labor, as lie does here iu the United States. ■ And in this very transaction he at the same time sells the only tiling he has to sell, i. e., his labor, in that market of all others where he can sell dearest, or to‘the best advantage. The ecoMSm.. theorist “may "%nt?re This-favt, mon people of other countries see it plainly enough, and as a consequence they come to this land of protected and multiplying industries in numbers without a parallel in the history of nations.

SNOW DAY

A Rpportrriai Ran Through Robinson's Ciri cus and Menagerie Canvases. Through the kind invitation of General Manager John Lowlow, of John Robinson's menagerie, a Gazette reporter .was ushered through every department of the wonderful show this forenoon. It can be said without exaggeration that so complete a circus has not visited our city for many \ ears. The menagerie alone is worth the price of admission. There are three tents alone occupied by their various rare animals, besides one occupied by ponies. One very pretty colt was born here last night and was christened “Springfield,” which will give it honor daring its life. The peculiarities of each animal were described in detail by Mr. Lowlow, who proved to be a most interesting and entertaining gentleman. The circus department consists of three separate rings and with a capacity for 8,000 persons. They have the tallest giraffe and the oldest elephant, Mory, in the world; also the widly known and famous riders Mr. and Mrs Deruott The company employ daily 365 men, and has title of being the first circus that ever traveled by railroad which was in the neighborhood of 1871. This afternoon notwithstanding the threatening weather, an enormous crowd was present, and from all appearance it is likely that there will not be standing room for to-night.— [Springfield Gazette, July 29. Will exhibit at Rensselaer Saturday May 17.
