L. T. Micheneb, Chairman. F. M. Millikan. Secretary. j To vote against a really bad man | on the party ticket is to rebuke the party for iginating him, and to teach it better things. To vote i against good men is to rebuke the partv for nominating good men, and to encourage the nomination | ■of bad men. There is not a man, 1 mot a single one, any place on the j Republican ticket this year, f who is not a good, capable and deserving man, and fairly nominated. The Republican who votes against any of these men is not only, to that extent, a traitor to his. party, but he is also striking a blow at purity in politics and fairness and honesty in nominations.

There are lots of good men among the Republicans of Jasper county, and the Republican county ticket is crowedad full of them, in fact it is a phenomenally fine ticket in that respect, even for a Republican ticket, which is saying a good deal, and there is no better man, on of off of that ticket, than Mark H. Hemphill, the candidate for county treasurer. He is a man whose sterling honesty and cleanness of heart and tongue and hand, is palpable at the first view. He is courteous and obliging in the highest degree, honest as the day is long, honorable as he is honest, and would not do or Hunk of doing an underhanded or unfair thing, on any considera- . tion. Square and pure in politics not a singb' suspicion of unfairness in the manner in which he. obtained

his nomination. If the Republicans of Jasper county go back upon and defeat such a man as he, it will be a sin against pure politics and good goverment, and a shame almost without parallel in the politics of the county. The Western Rural, which is pre-eminently the advocate of farmers’ org n’zations, like the Alliance, congratulates the farmers because their organizations have been the means of securing to them a full and just recognition in the matter of election to offices. This remark of ‘he Rural’s carries with it the implication that, heretofore, the farmers have not been fairly treated in this respect. Whatever truth there may be in this implication, and there doubtless is a great deal in some portions of the country, especially in the South, it does not apply in even a slight degree to the treatment the farmers have received from the Republicans of Jasper county. The.present county ticket is proof of the truth of this statement. So also are all the present and all the past county officials. Our candidates for audtor and treasurer are both farmers and always have been. Both our candidates for commissioners are farmers. Our candidate for

sheriff has been a farmer most of his life and until failing health, brought on by army hardships, compelled him to seek some less laborious occupation. And our present ticket is a fair criterion of what the past has been. The. farmers have received full and just recognition from the Republicans of Jasper county, and they know this to be the case and give i ncuiu gement to interested schemers and marplots who would like to disorganize the party by a farmers, ticket.

Rochester Republican.—There four candidates before the Monon Democratic convention —Dr. Paton, V. Zimmerman, Thos. J. W< cd, and Robert Gregory. The hi st named resides at the little village of Remington, where he has . been an unsuccessfull pill peddler for. several years, and he wabchosea becausehe wasa soldier. The Democrats are disposed to conclude that the soldiers* will not support the Republican nominee and that the soldiers disaffection is sufficient to elect Patton. But it’s a delusion. The Democratic nominee possesses no political ability and is wholly incapable of telling what little he does know about any matter upon the stump. An unknown village doctor will make a sorry out at competing in a congressional race against one of Indiana's ablest statesmen. Patton, your name is Dennis. All of which is about true except our ■Rochester coutemporary ’s allusion to Dr. Patton’s standing as a physician. As a doctor and as a citizen, Mr. Patton stands well in his home com- - - -

That Momence rock commission is either having a tremendous big job on their hands, or they are men unfitted tor the work. It will soon be a year and a half since they were commissioned to superintend the work of removing the rock, and up to this date they have accomplished just nothing. The probabilities are they will succeed in frittering away their time until their offices will cease to exist by limitations placed upon them by law’. The commission has been receiving bids lately Only three were filed. Two of these were greater thau the appropriation, while the third came within the limits, but was postponed until a futher discussion of the opposition which the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad is making, is had. It is not believed the wdTk required can be done for the amount of the appropriation, and it is understood that the man who gets the contract will receive a large additional sum from the benefited land owners. He will also get the rock taken from the channel, which it is estimated may be worth several thousand dollars. —Valparaiso Vidette. We are positive that the Vidette does great injustice to the members of the fiTdinence rock commission, in the above article. Instead of deserving censure we believe the commiesieners deserve -great cred it for the w iso and careful p'«in'pr >n which they Ixive managed the difficult and cbmpli--c ated affair placed in their charge. They were required to do a specified work for a specified sum, and a sum far too small for the work to be done tvith it. They alsa were confronted with a great demand for damages from a powerful railroad company, with the prospect of an expensive and long course of litigation if they began work on the rock without satisfying the claim, which they were not authorized to pay a single dollar towards satisfying. By shrewd management, the commission has, at last, driven the large land owners, who are chiefly to be benefitted by the enterprise, to not only stand good for the cost of the improvement above what the state appropriated, but also to stand between the railroad company and the state of Indiana for any expense that, may arise from litigation. It has taken a long, hard struggle and most careful and shrewd management to get the land owners into this position, but it has been done at last, and great should be the credit to the commissioners, therefor.

The Ladies Withdrew.

A correspondent from Monon writes as follows: “There have been two political conventions held in Monon recently. The first gave a special invitation to ladies,

I and besides a good representation of women as delegates, the ladies of Monon attended in large numbers and were treated with due coiurtesy. Last Wednesday our ladies had the rink beautifuHy decorated, in honor of the conven- . tion, and quite a number were out in theithe afternoon. One of the speakers, in a tirade against the republican party, chose to relate one of the most disgraceful stories . ever told .in public. Respectable men were shocked and most of the ladies quietly withdrew. Another speaker, who hoped the farmer might have good crops as ‘the more corn the mere whisky’ ©tc., was set down as having imbibed more whisky than was good for him. The saloon patronage was excellent all day.”— —Manticxdlo Herald. The statements in the above are undoubtedly true The incident of the dirty story and the withdrawal of the ladies was gleefully related in Rensselaer, the very evening after the 'convention, by certain democrats of this place, who were present when it occurred. The person who committed the offehbe against decency was Robert Gregory, of Monticello, himself a prominent candidate before the convention for the Democratic nomination for Congress. He is the same fellow who-caused the old soldiers who were gathered at the Remington fair on Old Soldiers’ Day, so much humiliatiffil by his unpatriotic and demagogic harangue on that occasion. It is but charity to believe that he had been indulging in his accustomed stimulent a little more freely than usual, on both these occasions.

Favors The Farmers’ Alliance Principles.

Hon. W. D. Owsn, who is always in the advance in every patriotic and statesmanlike movement, and who introduced and workecT for a service pension bill, even before the soldiers themselves generally saw the justice of that measure, has also for years endorsed and worked for the leading purposes now demanded by the various farmers’ organizations. In support of this statement, we publish the following letter from Mr. Owen to the secretary of the Jasper County Farmer’ Alliance: House of Representatives, U. S. Washington, D. C., Sept. 17, ’9O. C. W. Harner, Esq.. Sec. Jasper Co. F. A. & T. N. ““Remington,lmd. Sir: —I have your favor of the 13th, enclosing the “Declaration of Purposes” of the Farmers’ Alliance and asking if I will give these principles my full support, and stating that the Alliance of Jasper county will not support any one for office who will not first pledge himself to support its principles. . . In reply I have the honor to say that your request for support of these principles comes some years too late, and canjimlv ...be ofLialueE so far as I am concerned as a conforming with the rules of the Alliance. During my public career I have advocated, and as far as opportunity offered have voted for six of the seven principles and still endorse I go further in some of the principles than is here declared. Number six suggests a practical thing in asking an issue of fractional currency in order to facilitate exchange through the medium oF she m ail, and in unany r &speetusuch issue would be a matter of public convenience, and as such I would cheerfully support it. I congratulate the farmers on framing dfi organization to protect' their own interests, and moving to its accomplishment in so wise and conservative a method. *1 am Very Respectfully,
