CONUNDRUMS FOR THE REMINGTON RECORD.

Does the Remington Rtcord propose to reform American politics through the use of arguments simlar to those employed by its editor while engaged m his evangelical labors with the girls at Van Valken burg’s? Will the editor of the Remington Record hazard his social standing in the community where he now resides by provoking a personal controversy with one who has always shown Liin the kindest consideration, while the police records of a neighboring county are so bandy and the testimony elicited in a certain criminal trial is sail fresh in the memories of living people? The Union is for peace; does the Record want war? Don’t bet on the elections in Indiana, because it,is A violation of law, demoralizing in its tendencies, and thepenalty is disfranchisement; but if you are disposed to waive these considerations, and are “on the make,” put your money where it will do the most good—where it is reasonably safe. If you will bet, although it is immoral and in violation ot law, risk all you have to spare on the whole republican ticket of J asper county, on the election of Major Calkins to congress, on thp •lection of Gen. Harrison for govelection of Gen. Hayes as the next president of the United States. Take even bets on the governor, and give as large odds as y<m please on the balance mentioned above—even twenty to one on the Congressional and county .ticket.

Actuated by the spirit of the rebel democracy in whoee interest it is laboring the Remington Record moat shamefully attack* the business ot a priyate citizen of Rensselaer, and weekibefore lastdimk occasion to sneer at Mr. A. .Leopold. The fact is that Mr. Leopold has been voting with the democracy in years past, but was no copperhead during the war. Familiar with the course of Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks ♦rom 1861 to 1865, and seeing, as most intelligent men do, that the same issue is before the American people this campaign, Mr. Leopold boldly annouiioes his intention to vote for Hayes and Wheeler and the gallant Ben. Harrison. This probably explains the hostility of the little copperhead editoj who conducts tbe hermaphrodite journal known as the Remington Record. Brother Kilt descends to mighty low depths of meanness when be attempts to inaugurate a campaign .of hate in Jasper county, and it certaialy will react to hisxiiaciimflture. Mf.Xeopold will not suffer for bis opinions’ rake in this vicinity. This attempt at political will surely make him friends.

Mr. Hendricks, governor of Indiana, and democratic candidate for vice president, was in Chicago iu 1864 when Gen. McClellan was nominated for the presidency upon a platform which declared the war a failure, .and made a public speech in which he said he trusted “Jifa “still remained In the luaeseQ, and “that they have-not been sunk Bo “low by the four years of despotism but that they can rise to cru»h “out abolitionism and hurl the smutty “old tyrant at Washington out of polit“ical existence.” A few months afterwards Booth, one of the masses who bad not sunk so low by th.o four years of deypotistp, arose and with his pistol assassinated Mr. Lincoln, “the smutty old tyt ani at Washington," referred -to in dial speech, “hurting him from political “existence;’’ and Mr. Hendricks knew of the full fruition of.his hating hope when he heard, as the echo of his owp words, sic’semper tyrannis, in the assassin’s fierce shout of triumph.

In order to hasten the lime when Union soldiers shall forget the terrible scenes of the wav, the conciliating democracy of La Forte county carried a bloody shirt at th#-head of their procession nt Michigan City op the occasion of a recent rally in honor of Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Hon. James D. Williams, the candidate for governor, and neither the one nor the other of there worthies were manly enough to rebuke the wanton insult. .....
