The Dunham (n. c. ) Glohc is foe Cleveland with a resomjding whoopee funl a relx-] il, as follows: ‘ ‘The pension fraud jis the GREATEST OF THE AGE AND CIEVELAND STRUCK THE BEGGARS IN THE face. He should be GIVEN A CHANCE TO HIT ’EM AGAIN.” Our reciprocity arrangement with Cuba went into effect September 1,1891. “Since January 1, 1892”( four monthßlater) writes one authority, “American breads fuffs have as completely driven Spanish flour from the Cuban market as if the latter product had been boycotted throughout the island.”. This ie the result pf what the Democratic platform terms “sham reciprocity!”

The crime of ITT Clay King, the Memphis, Tenii., murderer “Whose; sentence of death was commuted to imprisonment for life, seems to have been so wholly without excuse or palliation that the public sentiment even of the Southern Staiei bverwhel mfng demanded that his sentence should be carried out But Governor Buchanan is is evidently unwilling to be responsible for so radical a departure as that a Southern white “gentleman” should be hanged. So fortified with a petition for clemency from Grover Cleveland, he has commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life. This Grover Cleveland, maudlinly sentimental over the case of a brutal and inexcusable murder, is the same who vetoed pension bills of maimed and disabled Union soldiers and made jokes and coarse allusions about them in his official correspondence.

The Judicial Convention.

HON. r. Z. WfIJSY NOMINATED ON THE SEVENTEENTH BALLOT. The Republican convention to nominate a candidate for circuit judge to succeed Hon. E. P. Hammond, met at Goodland, Tuesday afternoon, as per call. It was compos - ed of 21 delegates front lienton county; 18 from Jasper, and 15 from Newton. Every county was fully represented The convention was called to or der by County Chairman Williams of Kenton county. Geo. G. Jenkens, of Goodland, was elected permanent chairman, and G. E. Marshall, of the Rensselaer Republic an, permanent secretary; and Isaac Pliares, of the Fowler Era, and H. G. Davis, of the Kentland Enterprise assistant secretaries. A resolution was unanimously adopted the Governor to appoint the nominee of the convention, whoever he might be, to serve until the election. The committee on credentials was JL I). Sleeper, pf Kenton Co., C. R. Peregrine, of Jasper Co. and O. G. Moll wain, of Newton. On Order of Riisiness, Geo. E. Ndlin, Kenton; C. E. Mills, Jasper; J. W. Rindall;Newton , __lhe voting was by counties in the order of Kenton, Jasper, Newton. On call of the counties for nominations, G. E. Ndm presented U. Z. Wiley, of Kenton county. J. F. Warren presented the name of M. F. CliHcote and William Greenfield that of R. W. Marshall, of Jasper county, j Newton county presented T. C. Annabel, of Goodland,

As seveventeen ballots were” re-' quired to settle the matter we cannot publish them all, in detail, by counties, but will give several taken at random, to show how the tide of battle veered to and fro. Kenton county was solid for Wiley, every ballot, having adopted the unit rule, by previous caucus. Four meu from Newton county also stayed with him, every ballot, and most of the time a fifth, so that his vote was never less than 25, and frequently 26. Following is the . lIKST BALLOT. "BentonVTa spefrKswtonTolair Chilcote 1 10£ Marshall Wiley 21 ~4~ 25 Annabal 2 2 The whole number of votes cast was 54, every ballot, and necessary to choice 28.

On the second the changes showed a gaTn oT'SToFChilcote and a loss Of one for Marshall, making them a stand-off at 13$. On the 4th and sth ballots Chileote had 14$, Marshall ttf 2 . r>n the sth W iley got one vote from Jasper. On the Glh, Chileote and Marshall changed places, Chileote having 11* Marshall 14*. M arshall continued to lead Chilcot until on the Bth ballot he had 19* votes to 6* for Chileote, On the 9th Chileote had Bs, Marshall 15* and Wiley 27, lacking only one of enough to nominate. On the 10th Jasper gave 17 of her 18 votes to Marshall and Newton gave him 8, making 25, or within 3 votes of enough to nominate, and this was Marshall’s “high water mark.”* On the next ballot Jasper gave Chileote 17 and Newton gave him 3, making 20 in all, which was his highest vote. During the next three Marshall was 2 or 3 votes ahead of Chileote. Annabal scored 4, his highest vote, in the 12th. On the 15th and 16th Chileote led Marshall 7 and 8 votes. The seventeenth babul settled the matter as follows: Benton. lasper. lewtoi. Total. Chi1e0te....... 12* 4 16* Mar5ha11....... 3* 4 7* Wi1ey......... 21 2 5 28 Aunabal 2 Wiley’s vote was just enough to nominate. On motion of Mr. Annabal, i' wn made unanimous. Mr. Wiley was called up and made a very graoeful speech in acceptance of theuourmsrioo. Messrs. Chileote, Marshall end Annabal were then called for in turn, and each, in the best of feeling, expressed their thanks to their friend* for their support, disclaimed all soreness over their defeat,

and promised their heartiest Support to*the nominee. After a humorous word or two from Win. Cummings, of Kentland, -and G«pt. Sink, of Thayer, each of whom had received one or two scattering votes, the journed. .1 / v: j Editor Republican.— Amongsti the many interesting things con-,1 tained in the latest report of the! -U. 8. Bureau "of Statistics, of the | State Department, is an article j from Mr. Geo. H, Murphy, who is a clerk in the Consular General’s office, at Berlin. He tells us that Canary birds comprise one of th,e chief articles of export from the district of Hanover. In-fact, is third in moirey Tahm of all the exports from that district In this statement above there is nothing to comment upon if he did hot supplement it by saying that these birds were mostly raised and sold by very poor people, as a means of adding to their very meager incomes, As an example, he cites the case of a village tailor inJHanover, who goes about from house to house to do his work and earns 33$ cents per day, or SIOO peT annum, if he works 300 days in the year. He has to pay sl6 a year for rent, ieaTihg~sM, with which to' support himself and consisting of six persons in all. So wonder that he resorts to raising birds, or in fact anything else, as a means to add a five dollars to his scanty income, How would our Knights of the needle and the goose, in this country of protected jnqustry,kick against “free trade and cheap living.” How would Our Homestead strikers, who according to their sworn statements were getting from $1.40 to $lO per day, enjoy such wages?

A GREAT DAY IN PROSPECT.

Tuesday, Sept. 13th, will be a me morable day in Indiana politics. It will be the occasion of formal dedication of the American Tin Plate Works at Elwood. This marks an epoch in American, and especially in Indiana manufacturing interests. It opens up a new and promising industry, and will be a great political object lesson, as it is the direct fruit of tariff legislation. All the manufacturing industries located at Elwood, including the Tin Plate Works, now putting out many hundred boxes of American Tin Plate per week, will be in operation by that time. IB is very fitting that Gov. McKinley should address this meeting. Gov. Fifer, of Illinois, Gov, Chase and staff, :Bnd prominent Bep üblicans will be present and partici pate in the - meeting." A committee of local republicans have arranged for the accomodation of the crowd, and every comfort and convenience that possibly can be provided, for so large a crowd, will be offered. A basket dinner w ill be a feature of the occasion, as it will be an all day meeting. Low rates will be secured on all the railroads throughout the state, as this will in all probability be the only chance to hear Gov. McKinley in this state during the present campaign.

The public generally is not aware of the progress made in dentistry, during the last few years- Nowadays instead of extracting roots or brokendown teeth, they are restored to their former usefulness by crowning. Irregular and crowded teeth may be straightened, and made to present a regular and attractive appearance. Teeth may be extracted, then filled and replanted, successfully. Teeth may be supplied from one tooth to a full denture, without plates, thus getting rid of the unpleasantness caused by them. Dr. Brown, the new Dentist is introducing all these latest devices and painless methods and can render any services in his line. The nervous and delicate receive most careful and gentle treatment. Office over Ellis A Murray.

In purchasing spectacles do not patronize traveling doctors or opticians, as every few of them are bon ost or competent and are pretty aplo sell inferior goods, at very high prices. Dr. I. B. Washburn has a line test case of lenses and will order you the very best of glasses, in such frames ts you wish, at very reason able rates. ts

Gang Versus Ring.

The great and only question that the Pilot now seems disposed to discuss is the composition of what it styles the “ring” and denounces by crying “fraud and robbery : v l-"No%what is tho-composition of this awful “ring”? What class ’of ! citizens have our voters elected to ■ office ? Here is the list: an Auditor, | one of Jasper County’s success- ! fnl young farmers, against whom no ■ suspicion of dishonesty has ever ; before been directed. A Treasurer, another successful farmer, who not only bears a reputation for honesty, fair dealing and courtesy, but who was a brave and gallant soldier, who served his country in the hour of need, leaving home, friends and loved ones behind, shouldering his musket in the interest of National BDHOT, and against the infamy of human slavery, aDd who is now faithfully and honestly serving his county as Treasurer. A Recorder who also came from the farm and who has given the county the neatest records to be found in her vaults. A Clerk, who is a business man, and who was elected by the farmers. His business dealings have always been directly with farmers, and he has enjoyed their confidence, because he honest, fair and obliging with them. A Surveyor, who as a teacher, a student and a competent civil engineer has always commanded the confidence and respect of farmers. A coroner, who is widely known, and against whom there has never been a breath of scandal.

A County Superintendent, whose boyhood and young manhood was spent on a farm, and who by persistent effort has fitted himself for the responsible position that he now ably fills. Three County commissioners, all o f whom are life-long and prosperous farmers, and who have earned the res pect that they now receive, and which is due to the high reputation for their business integrity, cheerfully accorded them by neighbors who from contact, have come to trust them for their sterling worth. 'A county assessor, against whose statements, for want of better argument, the high minded editor finds it fitting to hold up to ridieule his physical infirmities, The above are the officers of Jasper county, unless the Pilot desires to include in this crowd of iniquity, the Trustees, all of whom are farme rs, and all of whom, I sincerely be--1 ieve, are good citizens and honest m en. If these mf)\ are rascals, prosec nte their actß ofraseality. If any o ne of them has stolen county money name the man who did it. I for one, as a tax payer of Jasper county, w ould like to know who is the thief. Now ye ‘‘farmer editorial staff.” Ye sons of honest toil! Ye exemplifications of truth and virtue ! Why are you making grave charges against _your brother farmers of fraud, robb<W and rascality?” ~ Why are you trying to mislead the

people by indirect charges that you apnoPprove ? Why are you setting yourselves up as judges, and declaring gujlt, without trial, when our laws presume every man innocent until proven gnilty? Why did yon not, when you pub lished the Auditor’s statement, that there was $46,000. in the treasury, tell the people that this was the April instalment of taxes for the year 1891, and that a large amount of this sum was disbursed by the Commissioners at their June session ? Was it because you wanted to deceive the people? Webster says; “ that a lie is an intention to deceive. ” In conclusion, I would say to the people; come to the records and find out the truth. Be careful how you accept the statements of those who repeatedly contradict themselves. If the farmers of Jasper county are as dishonest as the Pilot would have you believe, it is surely dangerous to elect farmers at all. Charles E s Mills.

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 16, to residents of Jasper County for 36'cents, in advance, and to persons ordering a number of copies some further reduction will be made.
