Announcements of Candidates. FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The Hon. U, Z, WILEY having been nominated for Appellate Judge, some lawyer of the Circuit will probably be promoted to the bench. We are authorized to announce that Simon P. Thompson of our city, a member of the bar for over thirty years and a man well known to the people of the circuit is willing to become the republican candidate for that honor. The Republican National Convention has done its work and done it well. In fact, no national convention ever better acquitted itself of the work in hand, than this one did. To say that the nomination of McKinley is satisfactory to the great masses of the party, would be to ridiculously understate the truth. In fact, so universal and overwhelming was the popular demand for his nomination, that the selection of any one but him, however worthy he might have been, would have been a disappointment too great for words to express. In Mr. Hobart, a man not well known to the common people in the west, but well known and immensely popular in the east, McKinley, the people’s candidate, has a worthy running mate. The platform is just what it should be, and is one of the most clear-cut and comprehensive declarations of principles ever put forth by a convention. The tariff plank is most important, and pledges the party to the restoration of adequate protection. Next in importance is the financial plank, which states the position of the party with perfect clearness and exactness. But while clear and exact, it is in no sense radical. It •imply declares in favor of the present currency system, of gold, silver and paper, with every dollar good as every other dollar, and good the world over; and pledges the party to work for binmetallism by the only practical method, that of Inter-national agreement, and opposes free coinage until such agreement can be obtained.;

SOUND TO THE CORE.

FINANCIAL PLANK OF NATIONAL REPUBLICAN , , ’ CONVENTION. The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1880; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency, or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, jvhich we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now in circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States and all “our money, whether- coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth.

THE PROTECTION PLANK OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

“We renew arid emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American industrial independence and the foundation of American development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign products and Encourages home industry; it puts the burden of revenue on foreign goods; it secures the American market for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingmrn; it puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift, and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In its reasonable application it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism.

‘ ‘We denounce the present democratic tariff as sectional, injurious to the public credit, and destructive to business Enterprise. We demand such an equitable tariff on foreign imports wnich come into competition with American products as'will not only furnish edequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lands. “We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a practical question, to be goverened by the conditions of the time and of the production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement and then it wants rest.

We .wonder if the free-traders will yet admit that any tin plate is now being made in the United States. For the 1891 fiscal year our imports of tin plate averaged 53,000,000 a month. Last March they were less than $430,000. Warren A Irwin make the most desirable farm loans of any firm in the county. Good residence to rent. Apply to Hollingsworth A Hopkins. [

The Chicago Times Herald publishes a frog story to illustrate the clamor of the siberites and what it amounts to in the end . It says a countryman wanted to sell a hotel keeper three car loads of frogs; the hotel-keeper had no use for three car loads, but said he would take three dozen. The countryman returned with a dozen only. U I thought you wanted to sell me three car loads,” said the hotelkeeper, ,f Well,” answered the seller, “I thought there were three car loads by the noise they made.”

In 1870 the National debt was $2,000,000,000. In ten years, with a protective revenue, it was cut to $1,196,150,950. Protective revenue producing laws ruled during the next until, in Gen. Harrison’s uuequaled administration, the debt shrunk to $585,029,330 and at the same time the needed healthy improvements went on and the nation thrived within. Revenue was raised rationally and constitutionally. Since Cleveland and the Democratic tinkers have been in the seat, the indebtedness has swelled to most $800,000,000, and is bloating indefinitely every week. It will only shrink when McKinleyism exerts a life-giving influence on things.

The Nicholson Law Sustained.

The Supreme Court, last Friday, handed down its decision in the consolidated Nicholson law case, and the decision sustains the law in every material particular. Some of the points of the law covered and sustained by the decision, are the provisions requiring the liquor business to be kept apart from all others; requiring screens to be removed during legal closing hours and days; forbidding the saloon-keepers to| allow others than members of their own families to enter the! saloon during closed periods; for-' bidding games and amusements! etc. In regard to section 9, the local option section, which was the special point of the liquor men’s attack, the decision sustains it in every particular. Regarding the right of signers of remonstrances

to withdraw their t names, which is a point which has a special interest in Rensselaer, the decision largely but not wholly sustains the position of Judge Wiley, in the Striekfaden case. Judge Wiley held that remonstrators could withdraw their names at apy time. But the Supreme Court gives them the right to withdraw only up to thebeginning of the last three days before the meeting of the commissioners. A remonstrance must be directed against the aud not against applicants generally, as was held by Judges Rabb, of Williamsport and Palmer, of Monticello.

The Representative Convention. The Republican convention to nominate a candidate for Joint Representative in the Legislature for Jasper and Newton counties was held Monday afternoon, at ILook. David Weldon, of Kentland, was chosen chairman and H. L. Brown, of Rensselaer, secrertary. The candidates for the nomination were Pierce Archibald, Dr. S. N. Caldwell, and Dr. J. A. Lovett, all of Newton. J.|F. Johnson, who had been a candidate, withdrew before the day of the convention. The convention consisted of 29 I delegate votes, but as both counties elected by precincts, both had more delegates present than the number of votes they were entitled to. Therefore the votes were mostly in fractions. Each Jasper County delegate cast 8 ninths of a vote; while the votes of New.ton County delegates were scarcely no two the same value, they being divided in proportion to the Republican vote of each pfecinct The first ballot resulted in ten and,4l-45 votes for Archibald; | ten and 2-10 for Caldwell and six I and 5-90 for Lovett. On the second ballot Mr. Archibald was nominated, the vote standing, Archibald* 15, Caldwell 8, Lovett 5, not counting' the fractions. The candidate is as good a man for the place as could be found in the two counties, and several counties adjacent. He is a farmer and lives southeast of Mo-

rocco has had experience in published affairs, and for two terms been president of the Newton County Board of Commissioners. He is a well educated man, and well informed on all subjects; and when occasion requires can make a good public speech. The Newton county people, who know him better than any one else, hold him in very high esteem, indeed-

Wool and Silver Dust.

Indianapolis Journal. Five years ago the quotations of wool, that is, in 1891, averaged 24.89 per cent, a pound higher in this country than at the present time, while the average price of foreign wools in London, was only 6.59 per cent, higher than now. The difference in the loss of values in wool is due to the present tariff. Yet during the fall of 1894 Senator Voorhees predicted that long before this time American wools would be higher than they had been under the McKinley law. In 1892 Indiana had 1,080,383 sheep. In 1895 the number had fallen to 836,217 and|the product of wool from 6,482,208 pounds to 4,701,210 pounds. The average price of the grades of wool raised in Indiana in 1892 was over 30 cents, so that the value of the clip of 1893 would have been §1,944,662. The present price is 17 cents in the eastern markets, making.theclip of 1895 worth <799,205. Here is a loss to the wool growers of Indiana of $1,145,667 by the free wool blunder of the Democratic party. That is not all. The [Republican house passed a bill and sent it to the senate, restoring about half the duty of the McKinley law on wool. One would have thought that Senators Vorhees and Turpie would have been eager to make amends for tljeir great blunder by voting for such a bill. It would have strengthened prices, and, more than that, it would have •checked that importation of wool which has already displaced a third of the American clip. But they would do nothing of the sort. Instead, they joined the free silver senators in preventing consideration of the bill. Very naturally, yiese men, wht>

MRS. MAGGIE MYERS.

Williamsport, Ind., writes: “I suffered for months of severe stomach troubles, caused by indigestion and constipation. My trouble seemed almost unendurable.
