FOR STATE REPRESENTATIYE.

Republicans should bear in mind the importance which attaches to the election of a representative in the state legislature. It is among the important offices to be filled on next Tuesday. The political complexion of the state legislature in the opinion of the outside world makes Indiana a democratic or a republican state, and will materially affect the result of the presidential contest. It Is therefore especially important that every true hearted republican be vigilant and alert—active and earnest—on election day, and see to it that not a single vote be lost to John P. Garr, who Is the republican candidate, which might otherwise be secured to him. In Mr. Carr republicans have an able, conscientious and worthy advocate, and one well qualified to discharge the grave and important duties of a law-maker. He came to the state many years ago, and is well acquainted with the wants and desires of the people. He is capable oi giving wise counsel in the halls of legislation. He is a man of strong mind, pure motives, sterling honesty, correct habics, fixed principles, dear perceptions, familiar with the details of business, is economical, and is not ashamed to advocate the right, nor to assail wrong wherever it may exist. He has a heart large and generous enough to listen to and consider the wants of his constituency, and the nerve to defend their rights. He has ever been the poor man’s friend, and his earnest champion against the encroachments of oppression and wrong. He is a mdi that any one might be proud to claim as a friend. Then let republicans see that he receives the full party vote of Jasper county. Do thio and the result of next Tuesday's contest wilt show our district has elected to represent them at the capital ah unswerving friend of the principles of liberty and virtue.
