A j :ioi urcf quo and honored old figure passed off tire "earthly stage last Sunday, when John C. Fremoni died in. New lork City. He was a ni.-in vvliot:elite lias .been oFgrent s* r whose career will he rein ©mitered *ud honored for hi any gen*-i&l ion s. Last year there was such an enoat crop that iL» \ rn-ep weye oo'vn to. next to not titng, and according to the .on’* •'unity tie Tiers the Republican* were blame ? > Tor 1 it. Void year, Uy all itppearu?!<;ee, the prices of oat* will be very high, but the farmers wont have any to soil ami-the calamity pro-! phets will screech about Unit. Tli' n;. i ' ' uht ■e' • Delphi, is . by! our Exchanges, as ’r. good man for: the Repul licßns to nominate this ; fall, as their candidate for Judge! of the Sn[>reiiie Court, from the ■ sth district, -The judge has a; splendid record both as a soldier,! as a jurist ami ns a citizen and would make a remarkably strong candidate for the place. The admission qf Idaho andj Wyoming into the Union as full; fledged states, raises the total! number of states to lorty-four. i .Arizona New Mexico and Utah are still in outer the darkness of territorial gdvwromeat but are not likely to remain in that condition for many years. Their admission will raise the number of stars in the flag to forty-seven, and lo in tike the eveu fifty Alaska Oklahoma, and the Indian Territory are in reserve. The new rules in the lower to'.'so of Congress have worked admirably in expediting the public business and in preventing a factious minority from obstructing ;r ' .

- -• ••• - ' ; - -j-- —■ A-- - - .-*?*• legislation, and although the Democrats never originate anything usbful themselves,.they sometimes have sense enough to adopt the good things originated by the Republicans* and there i,*y no question but that if they ever get control of the House, they will continue the rules, essentially as they are at present; and this in spite of the limitless abuse they heaped upon Speaker Reed and the Republican -majority for enforcing their original adoption. In one considerable element in the Tenth District, there is a surprising unanimity in working against the re-nomination of Congressman Owen. It is the Democratic papers of the district. The Valparaiso Messenger don’t want, the and the Delphi Tiriies, the Rochester Sentinel, the Winamac Journal, the Monticello Democrat, are all “dead agin” him, and lose no opportunity to point' out how unavailable a candidate he will be; and there is no question of the great disappointment they will experience when he is re-nominated. But Republicans can not alwaj's choose their candidates with a regard to the feelings and wishes of their Democratic opponents, and it looks very much as though their efforts in this case would be entirely without the result they wish. * • -

Another feature of the unconstitutional registration feature of the new election law, is that it is designed to catch and disfranchise all Methodist preachers who, according to the workings of their itinerant system, are obliged to change their residence during the three months preceding the election, as a very large portion of them do. Under the provisions of this, law any Methodist preacher who is assigned and removes to, a new location, at any time after the first Tuesday after ihe first Monday of August of any year, will lose the privilege of voting in the following November. It is a well known fact that by far the largest proportion of Methodist preachers are Republicans in polities, and it is another well-known fact that thrir corifereuee'Theetings aie generally held in the fall of the year. That the astute hut unprincipled Democrats whe tacked the villianous registration feature upon our new election law deliberately intended- it to disfranchise the Methodist- preachers as w£lLaaAhg_enipkiv a3.-DL.ihaJLl.fL'. government, there is no good reason to doubt.

The new met bed of voting was tried, for the first time in tins ns Vincennes, one day last we k, at a special election held to eject. A member or the town conn*j cil. The count showed that a good many voter* had failed to fully master the details of the method j of voting, before attempting to] vote, and their votes were there*-, fore thrown oat. This result; shows how nttvssivry it Is tli at the j new method of voting should be thoroughly wall studied up by the voters, "before the next: electioa,. Republicans, especially, should take every precaution h> prevent the loss of any of their votiEg, strength, through lack of knowledge of the method. The registration features of the- law have been especially designed to hud; the republicans, by disfranchising government officials, commercial travelers nnct Methodist preachers, and as the party is to be chiseled out of many votes in that way, and being already enormously handicapped by the Gerrymanders, it should be mfcde a special point, everywhere ever the state; to see that we sailer no losa through lack of a full understanding of the requirements of the new law. In pursuit of this object Thk Republican has done, and will continue to do, its full share—as witness the three column exposition of the new method, on page, And wlych has been prepared at the cost of a great deal of careful labor. We hope

' that such of our Republican voters : a s are uot already well informed . in tn this matter, will avail ! Htpmsp|y<v 1 of this and all future j opportunities* for information.

A Nation Developed by Protection Cheapens Goods the World Over.

j The attention of tkog&Jslio advocate Free-trade on the broad ground of the broth(?rhood of man and the principle that national development, instead of being provision for one’s own social fannJy* is selfishness, is respectfully invited to the following remarks of an exchange: “The first tendency of a Protective Tariff is undoubtedly to raise prices. But high prices in turn stimulate home competition, and this lowers pricee, whereby the :.balanceis restored, with thedifference in our favor that, whereas j before Protection was adopted we imported our manufactured goods, I now we produce them. And the difference is such an enormous gain to us that we might well afford to pay a higher range of prices for such products than prevails in the countries that formerly supplied us.

“And this suggests a truth of a gravity that if it could be made clear to every mind it would make the nation practically unanimous in favor of the Protective policy. It is this: That the Tariff policy of the United States in the past quarter century has lowered the prices of all products affected thereby all over the civilized world. It has done this by adding to the world’s supply of these products. The Protective Tariff induces home protection and competition. Competition reduces home prices and throws back upon foreign countries the products they formerly sold here. This reduces the prices in these foreign countries, and this reduction is immediately felt in our own country, causing a corresponding reduction here. “Tito Tariff preserves the differ- ! ence m the level u£ wages, hut it does not prevent the competition of foreign producers with our own, as our enormous importations of manufactured goods prove. This competition at home I and abroad has stimulated invention and economy in production, which have contributed much to lower the level of prices. But if i our part of the competition in the i world’s markets had never been | created, and it never could have ! been created on any other than ' the European level of wages without protection, products the world j over would have been much higher in price than now. And if our share ip that competition should be crippled or destroyed by abolishing Protection, prices- throughout the world would be enhanced as certainly as water finds its level. Such being the case, dhe seeming paradox of a Tariff levied effectivdx t * l- .**»»&. theta, app.c m 3 as normal understandable-as any rebo i- av •• cause to effect.”

The above is an illustration of a State Ballot, prepared in accordance with the provisions of the new election law. The names used for the purpose of this illustration are those which were on the democratic, republican and prohibition tickets at the general election in 1888. In case any other party, combination or faction nominates a ticket or a part of a ticket, their ticket or tickets must also be placed on the ballot, to the right of the prohibition ticket, and in such order as the Board of Election Commissioners shall decide. The- pictures at the top of the tickets represent the devices which are to be printed at ..the head of each ticket, on the genuine ballots, each party to seclect its own de-vi-.-e. The pictures winch are used in the above sample ticket, though selected nearly at random, aro not wholly devoid of significance. The object of these pictured devices at the head of the tickets is of course, to enable voters who can not read English, to recognize the ticket of their party. This ballot will be printed by the State Board of Election. Commissioners on red tinted paper. The names of the candidates for all the other offices of a local nature, such as district, county, etc., will be printed in the same manner and form on a Local Ballot by the County Board of Election Commissioners on white paper. :** The, ' T •<£ L'ecti'om Comboissioaeys in comp- -sect of the Onve.r nor and on ft uemuerat named by the ( hair man o| tie- .lemuonitie state central committee, and one republican named, by the chahrmnn ■of -Wk© ..republican state central commit loe.

the county democratic and repub - lican central committees respectively. The township trustees, as under the old law, will, by virtue of their office, be* inspectors of elections in the precincts in which they reside. The board of county commissioners will, at their June term next preceding any election, appoint the inspectors for each precinct in which no township trustee resides. Each precinct will contain as nearly as practicable two hundred electors, and no precinct shall contain more than two hundred and fifty electors. Each precinct will be provided with a chute, or passage-way with a railing, rope or wire, on each side, commencing fifty feet away from anu leading-to the pollingplace, passing the window where the challengers are stationed and leading thence to the entrance of the room in which the election isheld. One challenger and one poll-book holder, appointed and designated by each party organization shall be entitled to stand at the side of the chute near the “challenge window.” No other person (except the election sherifl) shall be or remain within fifty feet of the polling place except for the purpose of offering his vote. Two “election sheriffs” will be present at each polling place to see that the provisions -of- the election law are observed, and to keep the peace, etc. One of these election sheriffs will be a democrat and the other a republican, „and they will be selected by the repective chairmen of the countv central committee of those two parties. In the election room there will also be two ballot-boxes —a red one and a white one. Iu the election room there will also be three booths or stalls erected on the end or on the side of the election room. There will be room enough for on© man to stand in, conveniently, iu these booths or stalls and in each booth oi stall there will be a table or n desk or a smooth board or surface ou which the ballots can be conveniently laid for the purpose of stamping them. The

voter will go alone-into any of the booths which may be unoccupied and indicate the candidates for whom he desires to vote by stamping the squares immediately preceding their names. If, however, he shall desire to vote for all candidates of one party, and none other, or, if in other words, he desires to vote a straight party ticket, he may place the • stamp on the square preceding the title under which the candidates of such party are printed, and the vote will then be counted for all the candidates under that, title unless the name of one or more candidates under another title shall also be stamped, in which case the names of the candidates so stamped will be counted.

booties will be so constructed as to prevent any fine from seeing how any voter stamps his ballot except himself. The first thing at the top of the ticket is the “device;” represented in the above sample by the sick rooeteroT democracy, the triumphant eagle and banner of republicanism, and by the suggestive drug-store sign for the prohibitionists. Next com ee; the “title.” of the ticket, such as “Democratic- Ticket,” “Republican Ticket.” etc., etc., before which is plftced a square. Under the title of the ticket comes the names of; the candidates on each ticket, each name being preceded by a square. The Poll clerks, before giving out any ballots are required to write their initials on the lower, left hand corner of the back of the ballot. This must be done in their ordinary hand writing without any distinguishing marks. Placing any mark on a ballot by which it may afterwards be singled out, is a state-prison offense and the election board must not count any ballot that is found to be mutilated, defaced or marked so that it can be identified* The poll clerks must explain to each voter requesting it, the manner of voting. If necessary the election board can call an interpreter. If the yoter declares that on account of physical disability* or inability to read English, he cannot stamp his ballot, the poll clerks must do so for him in the presence of the voter and of each other and, on request, must read over the names of the candidates as marked. Any one making a a false declaration as to his physical disability or his inability to read English is subject to fine and disfranchisement. Any Poll clerk who deceives a voter in any way in marking his ticket or who at any time discloses or communicates to any person how an elector voted, is guilty of a states prison offense. If the voter accidentally or by mistake spoils, mutilates or defaces his ballot, the Poll clerk must give him another, and have him destroy the first in the presence of the election board.

voter must fold his ballots separately so that no part of the face thereof shall be exposed and so that the initials of the Poll clerks, previously written on the lower left hand corner of the ballot—as above explained—shall be exposed. The voter will then leave the booth and return the stamp to the Poll clerk, from whom he received it, and deliver the folded ballots to the inspector, who will, forthwith, in the presence of the voter and of the election board, deposit the same in the proper ballot boxes —the state ballot in the red ballot box and the local ballot in the white ballot box. The Poll clerk must then write the word “voted” after the voter’s name on the poll lists and the voter will leave the election room. ’
