Jesse Gwin, is an old soldier, a tried and competent man, and a Republican on principle, and not for revenue, and one who never changed his politics because he did cot get the nomination he wanted. He ought to get the solid Republican vote, and a good many besidea - :■]' Two or three of the candidates on the tusion-for-revenue tickets are trying to draw votes from their Republican competitors, who are candidates for re-election, by claiming that one term is enough, and promising that if elected they, (the fubionists) will not be candidates for re-election. This dodge has been tried many times in this county, and in several cases has succeeded. But in every instance when it has succeeded, the person has beeiy* candidate for' re-elec-kon, going square back on his promises not to ask for a second tprm. And it will be the same this time, if any of the fusionists are elected, they will be after the •eoond term, as sure as fate.

Let every Republican in the county make up his mind to stand by the Republican ticket and vote for every man on it. No member of our party can afford to vote a scratched ticket. Not this year, at least, of all years, when an unprincipled combination of free trade democracy and fiat money populism is trying to wrest the control of the county from the party which has managed it so long, so honestly, and so efficientTyT~ When a man has been tried in office and has made a good record, this fact should be put down to his credit. John E. Alter has held the office of county surveyor and has demonstrated his fitness for the place, by the admirable manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office. Jasper county never had a better surveyor than Mr. Alter, and every Republican shotild vote for his reelection.

Yon can not run amiss of connties whose public affairs have been worse, mnch worse managed than Jasper county’s, in fact, there is probably not a single Democratic county in the state, that this is not true of; but you can search far and wide and not find a county whose affairs are better managed than our’s. In fact, the Pilot itself, though unwittingly, gives testimony to this fact, by finding nothing in our county administration to kick about, except that the large, but unavoidable expenses for proposed ditches, has caused a temporary deficiency of a few thousand dollars, in the county treasury, —a thing by the way, that lias not occurred before, for many years. Our taxes are very moderate, and public improvements are many and wisely and cheaply made.

The Twentieth Century, a Pop ulist periodical published in New York, turns upon the veterans in a recent issue in true Union sol-dier-hating style. It says: Thirty years ago a majority of the.-e men were idealists, risking life and sacrificing homes for the realiz ition of a thought. To-day they are the most practical of business men; a political brigade organized exclusively for spoils, feeders at the public crib who pro sent annually to the American people a bill larger than that exacted by any European army. Decidedly the appetite has grown by what it feeds on, but happily the number of the feeders is becoming beautifully less. Last year the membership of the G. A. R. was 397,223; this year it is only 369,683. ■*

If there is a veteran who has a sympton of Populism the foregoing would doubtless prove a radical remedy. Nothing more brutal has been said in a Northern publication for months. —Indianapolis Journal.

The Prohibitionists filed their county ticket at the clerk’s office, last Saturday, the last but one upon which it could be legally filed. Their candidates are: Clerk, Sam B. Thornton, of Newton tp. Auditor, James Yeoman, Newton. Treasurer, John A. Grant, Barkley. Sheriff, John Mason, Gillam. Surveyor, Charles E. Hershman, Rensselaer. Coroner, Ambrose L. Willis, Rensselaer. Commissioners, John M. Helmick, Wheatfield; Wm. T. Perkins, Rensselaer; Stearri Iliff, Jordan. The Prohibitionists now have a full local ticket, from Congressman to Commissioners, except a prosecuting attorney, and also, to some extent, excepting a state senator, for although the name of Perry Washburn, the Dem-Pop candidate has been legally filed as their candidate and must therefore so appear on the official ballots, yet the fact remains that the Prohibitionists of Jasper and Newton counties, assembled in convention at Goodland, have formally repudiated Washburn’s so-called nomination as the Prohibition candidate, as appears elsewhere, by the official report of Rev. D. J. Huston, secretary of the convention.

Wm. H. Ooover, Republican candidate for county clerk, is a man of the strictest personal and official integrity. A courteous? honorable gentleman, a thoroughly efficient official. A man, in short, of the most sterling qualities. Every Republican in the county should feel it a pleasure as well as a duty to vote for him at at the ensuing election.

Mr. Ad Robinson denies that he ever favored the Iroquois ditch. We are quiet willing to admit that we were mistaken on this point. The matter is no importance* anyhow, as there were plenty of leading populists who did favor it, including Joel Spriggs, thejfirst petitioner, to Bhow the inconsistency, not to say rank dishonesty, of the Pilot, in trying to make political capital out of the matter, because the commissioners whom the law compelled to advance the preliminary expenses on the ditch, happened to be Republicans. The fact that the Robinson brothers generally were so active and persistent in favor of the Iroquois ditch, and also took such an active part in helping Messrs. Gifford and Thompson organize this and the Gifford enterprises, largely accounts for our readiness to believe that Mr. Ad Robinson had lent his help to the Iroquois as well as to the Gifford movements.

Wm. Dahncke, candidate for Commissioner from the first district, is the only representative from the “north tier” on the ticket. He is a sound, careful, conservative man of business. One who has demonstrated, by his success in managing his own affairs, that he is well qualified to manage with equal success, the affairs or the public. Personally, he is a strictly honest and strictly honorable man. Is a German by nationality, but by long residence in this country, is a thorough American in sentiments. While we do not think that a man’s religion ought to cut any figure in politics, yet inasmuch as an incorrect report in regard to the matter has been circulated, we will add further, that Mr. Dahncke is a respected member of tho Lutheran church, at Wheatfield, and one of the recognized pillars of the congregation.

The Pilot suggests that perhaps The Republican is not aware that Joel Spriggs, fusion candidate for commissioner, and first petitioner for the Iroquois ditch, tried to withdraw his name from that petition. The Republican is certainly very well aware of the fact that he did not try to withdraw his name until after he had done his full share in causing the heavy expense for the preliminary work, which the Pilot is now making its hypocritical howl about. The petitioners fairly tumbled over one another in their rush to get off the petition, when the viewera’ report showed that the cost of the ditch would be so large in proportion to the benefits, and we do not blame them for it, but that fact does not release them from the responsibility for causing tho previous great expense.

PeopltTwEcTkick about the management of the public business of Jasper county, do so without cause, and don’t know • when they are well off. They ought to be compelled to live and pay taxes in some of our Democratic counties awhile. In Carroll or LaPorte, for instance. Both of those counties have vastly more taxable property than ours, and their tax rates ought to ba much less. Instead, however, they are much higher. The total levies for all county purposes in Jasper county is 45 cents on the SIOO valuation. In Carroll county the county levies for all purposes, are 62 cents. In LaPorte county, with vastly more taxable property, even than Carroll, the county levy is 53 conts. In Republican Jasper, we get good reliable public improvements, at fair prices. In Democratic Carroll aid Laporte, they pay two prices and get unreliable improvements.

The above are plain facta, and we challenge the Dem-Pop Pilot to disprove them.

Indiana's Senatorial Frauds.

The State of Indiana presents a brace of United States Senators more destitute of those qualities which advance the interests and sustain the pride of a people than any of her sister states. For superficial knowledge on all public questions, reckless disregard of truth in political discussions, bigoted devotion to party, eager prostitution to any cause for political advancement and any ignorance or infamy that detracts from the dignity of a Senator of the United StatwpYddrfiees and Turpie are specimens no other state can equal. Perhaps two states might get up a combination approaching a rivalry, but we doubt whether Irby, of South Carolina, and Call, of Florida, would equal the twin frauds who misrepresent the people of the state of Indiana, and by comparison make even Irby and Call seem respectable. The above is the opinion of a paper published in another state. The Louisville Commercial. It is true as far as it goes, every word of it. And the Republican in Jasper, Benton and Newton connties who votes for Washburn for state senator, is thereby voting to continue these monumental disgraces in the United State Senate.

How to Vote.

The following instructions if carefully followed will enable any one to vote correctly. Read carefully: To vote a straight Republican ticket stamp anywhere withia the large square that contains the eagle, but stamp nowhere else, not even the email squares at the left. To vote a mixed ticket do not stamp in the big square at all, but go through stamping the small squares at the left of the name you wish to vote for on any ticket. If you stamp the large square and then stamp anywhere else, your vote must be thrown out.

The poll clerk hands you three ballots, a pink one with state ticket of all fofir parties on it; a white one with all four of the county tickets on it; a yellow one with all the township tickets on it. Go into the booth and stamp each one, in the way directed above, then fold each one separately- in such a way that all the names are on the inside and out of sight, and the poll clerks’ initials will be in sight on the outside, then come out of the booth and give these three folded, separate tickets to the inspector, and give the stamp to the poll clerk. In case you make a mistake of auy kind, and spoil a ballot, return it tb the poll clerks and receive a new one. Butjin returning, do not show the face of the ballot, showing how you tried to stamp it, as in that case you will not be allowed to vote.

PROHIBITIONISTS REPUDIATE THE SELL OUT.

They Denounce The Endorsement of Washburn and Nominate a Representative. To Rensselaer Republican:— Pursuant to a call by Mr. A. T. McCurry, Chairman of the Newton County Prohibition Central Committee: A mass convention met in Goodland, October 16th, ’94, and organized by electing Mr. W. O. Thompson, chairman, and D. J. Huston, secretary. A committee, consisting of H. H. Moore, V. P. Hope and J. D. Clark g was appointed to present Resolutions, with reference to the action of the Delegate Convention, which met in Goodland, Sept. sth, 1894. Subsequently, this committee submitted the following report, which after some discussion was adopted. Whereas', " at the Prohibition Senatorial Convention, held at Goodland, Indiana, on the sth day of September, 1894, to select a candidate to represent the Joint Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Benton, Jasper and Newton, the delegate from Benton, in violation of his instructions, cast the vote of Benton county for one Perry Washburn, the candidate of the Populist 'and Democratic parties, and, thereby procuring his endorsement, and Whereas, said Washburn has never identified himself with the Prohibition party: Therefore be it Resolved, by the Prohibitionists of said Senatorial District, in mass convention assembled at Goodland on this the 16th of October,

189# That we condemn 4he action of said delegate from Benton county and repudiate the endorsement of said Washburn. Ordered, that a copy of these proceedings and resolutions be sent to newspapers in the District for publication. The convention then resolved itself into a Representative convention, and put in nomination Mr. Virgil B. Jenks, for Joint Representative for Jasper and Newton counties.

D. J. HUSTON, Sec'y.

Political Points.

The Democratic Congress repealed the reciprocity clause in the McKinley law. Since then Cuba has raised the tariff on American Hour from $1 to $4.75. She bought about one million barrels last year of the United States. She now buys of Spain. If you want reciprocity restored, vote the Republican ticket and keep at it. * * * If you are a cuckoo, a mugwump, a free-trader, a communist, an anarchist or in favor of anything to beat the Republicans, or love hard times and want to make them harder, vote the Democratic-Populist ticket.

Do you want uncertainty as to the action of the government from now until 1897, vote the Democratic-Pop-ulist ticket and you will get it. * . * —* Do you want low wages and few of them? Vote the Democratic-Pop-ulist ticket. * * # Laboring men, do you prefer certainty to uncertainty ? Vote the Republican ticket. * * * Ex-Senator, Janies E. Parnell, of Adams county, 111., does not want Democratic uncertainty. He has quit voting the Democratic ticket.

Where, oh where are the “markets of the world” the Democrats talk so much about. Wheat down to 54£ cents in New York. Exports of wheat decreased one-third in September. Exports in two weeks in October, 18 per cent, less in value than the same time last year, asd imports 27 per cent, more than last year. Gold still going out of the country, making us poorer by that much. If you not want it to get worse, vote the Republican ticket. * * * There are plenty of houses to rent free in Portland, Oregon. If you want it to continue, vote the Democratic Populist ticket. * * * If you believe in “breaking down the barriers” and letting in the goods made by pauper la’nor of the old world, vote the Democratic-Popu-list ticket. * # * Wheat 54£ cents per bushel in New York City. Close up the factories and send men to the country to raise more cheap wheat with which to capture the “markets of the world.” If you want wheat cheaper, vote the Democratic-Populist tidiet. * * v Wm E Curtis, a correspondent of the Chicago Record writing from Portland, Oregon, says wheat is worth 20 cents per bushel. TLe advice of the Democratic politician is, “go raise cheap wheat and capture the markets of the world.”

The Logansporl Pharos of October 3rd, has the following to say of Populism. If the Democratic Sentinel received it from the Indianapolis Bureau, it was not published for Obvious reasons. Hear the Pharos: “But even the reckless extravagance of the McKinley congress was but a drop in the bucket to what the country would have to face if the Populists were to be placed in power. Judging by the bills already introduced in congress by the Populist members, all the pioperty of the country would be required to pay the taxes made necessary by the first session’s appropriations of a Populist congress. Just look at the appropriations which the Populists would make and figure out if you can, where the money would come from to meet them. Representative Davis’ bill to make loans mortgage debtors and appropriates $10,000,000,000. Senator Peffer has similar bill. Representative Clover’s bill to loan to states 50 per cent, of the assessed valuation of property would appropriate $12,000,000,000. Representative Clover's municipal loan bill would appropriate $10,000,000,000. Representative Kerns’ banking bill would appropriate $1,000,000,000. Representative Hudson’s bill would appropriate $1,500,000,000. Representative Davis’ Indusirial Army bill would appropriate $500,000,000. Senator Peffer’s Charity bill would appropriate $6,300,000. Representative Boons’ internal improvement bill would appropiiate besides annual appropriations $500,000,000. Representative Boons’ bill to ex

terminate the Russian thistle would appropriate $1,000,000. Senator Peffer’s rain water bill would appropriate $20.000,000. Senator Peffer’s resolution for government ownership, minus railroads, telegraphs, Ac., Ac., would require an appropriation o' $15,000,000,000. Grand Total SSO 527,300,000. If just a few Populist Congressmen could ask for appropriations what mieht we expect of a majority^ They vo dd have to call on the fiat men end the printing presses to print the amount they would de.mand. . - . - All the wealth of the United States would not meet their demand. Better vote against them. * * * Editor Pilot. “Has Hath ora’s certificate of nomination been filed?” County Clerk. “Yes Sir, He was in Saturday to see about it.” Editor Pilot. Humph! I wonder be had sense enough to do such a thing.” xxx
