Secretary Blaine’s Resignation.

It is rather difficult to conceive of any explanation of Mr. Blaine’s abrupt retirement from the Cabinet, that is notc^lculatedto detract from the luster of his great fame, and to work to the disadvantage of the Republican party. If he desires the nomination he ought to have said so three months ago, and resighed then, instead of writing a letter, saying he would not and should not be a candidate. The excuse that is made for him, that he could not have foreseen, when he wrote the letter how strong the popular demand for his nominatibn would be, is not satisfactory. That demand is no greater nor more general than he or any other sagacious politician might have foreseen. If he does not desire the nomination himself, but resigned only to defeat Harrison, the case is still worse. For surely if he holds that desire now, he has held it for some time, and if he has been nursing and concealing such intention, and con tinning to hold the most exalted and honorable position in the president’s, gift until the last moment in order to abandon it just at the time to do the latter the greater injury, then the act savors greatly of unfairness to say the least Surely, if Mr. Blaine had a reasonable excuse for his abrupt re* tirement, he made a great mistake in not stating it in his letter of resignation, er in some ot her public manner Mr. Blaine is a very great man, and would make a grtnd president, but as an available candidate, he has certainly done himself great injury by his course in this matter.

For the Campaign.

For the purpose of helping along the good cause of Republicanism in Jasper County, The Republican will be sent from now until November 15, to residents of Jasper County for 50 cents, in advance, and to persons ordering a number of copies some further reduction ill be made. .* « j _t:Ur it the Im : - il Fed- •* ■ A <i,(>ii digress in I don the other day said he belie d that if Cobden were alive to-d, y he would not Doubtless he would be in favor of free trade for the United States, if not for Great Britain.

CHABLEY HARLEY,

CL Rep. Com. 10th Dist

Imported cheap labor is less dangerous and injurious to our h ome labor than imported pheap labor products, but both must be held in check by governmental protection in the form of immigration laws and McKinley laws, or our labor will be overwhelmed and degraded. Hon. W. D. Owen has received many favorable mentions, in various parts of the state, as a gqod man for the Republicans to nominate for Governor. Mr. Owen is not in the race, but had he chosen to have made a canvass for the nomination he would have been a hard man to beat. Not a single man on the People’s ticket paid a cent for announcement* or spent a moment of time electioneering as a candidate for the office for which he was nominated. —Peoples Pilot For the very good reason, probably, that they knew the nominations were not worth spending money or time to secure.

For Congressman the good of the party demands an available man before the election; and the good of the country demands an able and faithful one, after it Frankly and fairly considered, what man in the district better fulfills those conditions, all circum-, st an ces consider ed, th at Hon. W W. Gillam, of Newton county?

Protection is now essential almost entirely for labor. In the days of our “infant industries” it w as needed against overwhelming f oreign capital. Now we have the c apital to compete with any country on earth at the same rate or s tandard of wages, but it is only c razy or vicious free trade Democrat§ who want that kind of competition. There are almost double as many protectionists as free-trad-ers in class at Yale College this year. The last four years shows a steady increase in this direction. The census for those years show: r ■4‘B9 ‘9O ‘9l ‘92 Free trade 55 40 49 42 i Protection..... 43 36 70 83 Hon. W. D; Owen’s late trouble with Assistant Secretary Nettleton resulted not pnljLin Mr. Owen’s complete vindication from all the charges made against him, as everybody in the 10th Indiana District knew that it would, but also in . the transferring of Mr. Nettleton to another department, where his unjustifiable jealously of Mr. Owen could not interfere with the latter’s rightful duties and prerogatives, as Commissioner of Immigration.

Call for State Convention.

'4 .The Republicans of Indiana, and alt others who desire to co-operate with them, are invited to meet in delegate convention in the city of Ft Wayne, on Tuesday, June 28, 1892, at 10 o’clock a. m. for the purpose of adopting a platform and nominating candidates for the various State offices and two Presidential electors at large, to be voted for at the November election, 1892. The. convention will be composed of 1,430 delegates, apportioned among the several counties on the basis of one delegate and one alternate delegate for each 150 votes and each fraction of seventyfive or over cast for Milton S. Trusler for Secretary of State at the November election, 1890, and are as follows: Jasper county being entitled to 8 delegates. X Total number of votes, 1,430; necessary to a choice, 716. Favorable railroad rates for reaching Fort Wayne are assured and ample provision will be made for admission and comfort of each delegate and alternate, and for all Republicans and any others participating. i John K. Go wot, Chairman. Fbank M. Millikan, Sec.

There are several elements that enter into the problem of whom the Republicans should nownominate for congressman, at the Logansport convention, but the chief of these is the question, “Who will make the most available candidate, all things considered?” Any one of the candidates now in the field would, doubtless, make an able, creditable and serviceable member of Congress; and all are good square-toed Republicans, and about the only point left to consider between them is, which will best hold the vote of the party, in the peculiar campaign now confronting us? So far as can now be discerned the candidates before the convention will be Judge Johnston, of Porter county; Editor Landis, of Carroll and Senator Gi Im an, of Newton. Each of these three able and deserving gentlemen appeals strongly to different elements of the party. Judge Johnston to the soldier element, Mr. Landis to the young men and Senator Gilman to the farmers. We will not ask which of these elements is most deserving of the nomination, although, considering the farmers are by far the most numerous element of the district and their business interests by farHhe most important, and they have never, jdyur knowledge, furnished a candidate for Congressman in this district, and they might therefore, well claim the nomination on the grounds that it is now their turn. Rather, however, we well ask, which of these elements will it be to the' best interest of the party to choose a candidate from this year ? While the farmers of Jasper county nor, so far as we know of no other county in the district, have any grounds for complaint of lack of recogo ition in the distribution of county and state legislative offices, there certainly is a widely diffused feeling everywhere among them that the agricultural classes ought to have a larger in the halls of Congress. The farmers feel that there ought tq be more farmers in Congress, and that feeling is natural, just and right One of the most efficacious means the Republican party can adopt to prevent its farmer members from being led away by the fallacious but vigorously promulgated doctrines of the People’s Party, is by nominating -and electing to Congress, large numbers of level-headed, well-informed, practical farmers, of whom no better example can be found in this district than Hon. William W. Gilman, of Newton County.

Senator Gilman was the only man in either House or Senate who voted against both of the new and very vicious state tax laws. He is a tnau who can be trusted to hnnw how to vote in the interests of the people, on very question that comes up for action.

A VINDICATION THAT DON’T

VINDICATEPatton’s Pension Bill. The Remington Press publishes a statement from Ira W. Yeoman, as attorney for Michael J. Costello, in regard to the rather noted j private pension bdl for the benefit of the latter, introduced by Congressman Patton; the introduction thereof being the one great legislative act of Mr. Patton’s first term in Congress. The statement is prepared and published by Mr. Yeoman in order to vindicate Mr, Costello and ’‘Hon. D. H. Patton, M. C;” it having been reported that Mr. Costello had not been in the Union army at all, and also that he had been in the Confederate service.

It is a great old vindication! It vindicates the patriotism of Warrior Costello about as clearly as it establishes the statesmanship of Congressman Patton. Q. E. D. (The meaning of which cabalistic letters, is “Which was to be demonstrated,” and,'we may add, is still in the same fix.) Mr. Costello’s complete Union war record was obtained from the War Department, by request of the chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs. The record, as officially attested by R. N. Batchelder, Qr. Master Gen. U. S, Army, of the War department, is as follows: * War Department. Quartermaster General’s Office. Washington, May 12, 1892. Respectfully returned to the Honorable the Secretary of War. Hon. J. H. Outhwaite, chairman committee on military affairs, House of Representatives, requests record of service of Michael Costello, in the construction corps at Chattanooga, Tenn., during the late war. The reports on file at this office show the employment of Michael Costello as a civilan foreman of tracklayers on U. S. Military Railroad at $125 per month by Captain F. T. Starkweather, A. Q.M., Chattanooga, Tenn., from May 9th to Nov. 30th, 1864, when transferred to Capt W. R. Hopkins, A. Q. M., who reports him on same duty and pay from December Ist, 1864, to July 315t,*1865, when discharged and paid. He is not found further teported at Chattanooga. R. N. Batchelder, Qr. Master Gen. U. S. Army, This is the complete record, although, in response to a further enquiry from Mr. Outhwaite, chairman of the House committee above mentioned, asking in regard to the claim made by Mr. Costello that he had served both in the army of the Cumberland and the army of the Tennessee, General Batchelder makes the following additional statement.

War Departmenn . Quartermaster General’s Office. ■ "Washington, May lt>TU|lß92. Respectfully returned from the Honorable the Secretary of War. The services of Michael Costello, referred to in the indorsement hereon of this office of the 12th inst were rendered in the construction corps U. S. Military Railroads in the military division of the Mississippi, which embraced the two commands—the Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the Tennessee in the years 1864 and 1865. . ' - '

R. N. BACHELDER,

Qr. Gen. U. S. Army.

A glorious record, the above upon which to try to sneax through Congress a bill granting thirty dollars a month (the first intention was said to have made it SSO or S9O, but thA* nerve failed) to a man already in affluent circumstances financially, and whose only claim upon the gratitude of the Nation is that from May 9 th, 1864 to July 31st, 1865, he filled the easy, safe and lucrative position of “civilan” boss .of a gang of railroad track-layers, at a salaty of $125 a month! The southern woods in 1864 were full of tired out Johnnyßebs who would gladly have consented to serve Uncle Samuel in the same capacity at the same salary, and when their job was over, have gone back into the Rebel service. Taking this record for all it is worth, and just as Mr. Yeoman’s statement leaves it, it still would be a public outrage, and an insult to patriotism, to pension a man in Mr. Costello’s financial circumstances, upon such grounds. And

it was such an outrage and such an insult for Mr. Patton to introduce such a measure. It would be just as proper, for instance, to introduce a bill pensioning some wealthy and politically active constituent who spent a few months in war times, at a big salary, in buying horses for the Federal Cavalry, or in any other safe and profitable civil employment, in the government service.

As poor a showing as Lawye Yeoman makes for Statesman Patton and Warrior Costello, it is, no doubt, much better than it would have been had there been more of it What, for instance, would have been the result had Mr. Yeoman given us Mr. Costello’s war record prior to the time when he to ok the job of cussing Paddies at $5 per day ? It is quite a long period of time from April 1861 to May 1864, and there are a good many people in the 10th congressional district who would like to have Mr. Patton, through his attorney, Mr. Yeoman, explain Mr. Costello’s war record during that period. It is a matter of common report, and said even to be of public record, that he was, for a greater or less p eriod of time, in the Confederate service, during the interval mentioned. Moreover, it is said by some of the gentleman’s townsmen, that his political sympathies are largely still with the cause he foughtfor, as evidenced by language used at divers times.

It would be bad enough for Mr. Patton to try a . to sneak through Congress a bill giving an extravagant pension to a wealthy man, as a reward for politicial service, on no better grounds than that he served the goverment for a few months, in war times, in a civilian capacity, and at a large salary, even had his protege been a Union man i n sentiment, but if, as seems likely, his sentiments were with the enemies of the government, the case is immeasurably worse.

Hon. W. W. Gilman introduced the first state school-book bill ever considered in the Indiana Legislature. He also formulated a bill providing for legislative control of railroads, several years ahead of the Inter-State Commerce bill He is a thinker, a man of advanced views, who is able to &Qe for him self what laws the people need. He would make a most faithful, hard-working and influential member of Congress. More than that, he would be peculiarly available as a candidate, just at this time.

The American Economist presents every week a picture of some piece of wearing apparel purchased in some of the retail stores in New York City, giving the retail price thereof and also the amount of tariff the same garment would pay had it been imported from a foreign country. The, last picture is a pair of boy’s short pants. The garment is neatly and strongly made, of good, firm material, capable of withstanding many slides down a cellar door. Hundreds more like it were for sale where that one was bought, and all for the same price, namely TWENTY-SEVEN CENTS. Which was only about half the sum which the demagogue tariff ‘ ‘Reformer” says they are taxed; for the tariff on the garment, had it been imported, would have been FIFTY-THREE CENTS. The “Tariff is a Tax” say the freb traders, and is always added to the selling price of the article.” How can a tariff of 54 cents be added to the price of a pair of boy’s pants, and yet the pants he sold for 27 cents, tariff and all? Great is the logic of the tariff reformers.
