TO ADVERTISERS. ■ - Geo. F. Rowell & Co.’s ir SELECT LIST OF Local Newspapers. v Many persons suppose this list to bo dompoaeil of CHEAP, low-priced newspapers. The fact is quite otherwise. The Catalogue states exactly what the papers nre. When the uamn of a paper ia printed in FULL FACE TYPE it is in every instance the BEST paper in the place. When printed in CAPITALB it is the ONLY paper in the plaoe. Whon printed in Roman letters it U neither tho best nor the only paper, but Is usually a very good one, notwithstanding. The list gives' tho population of every (own and the circulation of every paper. IT IS NOT A CO-OPERATIVE LIST. IT IS NOT A CHEAP LIST. At the foot of the Catalogue for each State the important towns which are not covered by the list are enumerated. IT IS AN HONEST CIST. Tho rates charged for advertising are barely one-fifth the publishers’ schedule. The price for one inch four weeks in the entire list is $639. The regular rates of the papers for the same space and time are 93,136.39. Tho list includes 9TO newspapers, of which 168 are issued DAILY and SOT WEEKLY.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR OF STATE.

The Indianapolis Journal with nn nnfnit-ncsß characteristic of lliat sheet, reppotli'.cos a short article from the Kokomo DuijxiUh. reflecting on lien. Munson, which was published l»efore his nomination for amiitor of state, ami which was alone designed to oppose his nomination and not his election.—C\ uicforrf. iWe HetUw. The article from tho Kokomo Dinpatch, to which allusion Is made, charges Gen. Munson with being addicted to the improper use of strong drink. .Unfortunately the charge is true. Neither the Craw fordsvi tie Review, uor any oilier honest intimate ncquaintanceof thegallaut old soldier, disputes this fact. AH admit the truth of it, and all deprecate that it is tiue, for he has a kindly heart. This grave objection to his becoming the occupant of an office the duties of which are most intimately related to the welfare of a great state with a population of more than two millions, an office whose business details require a cool head and clear braiu, is hot an juventiou of Gen. Mauson’s political opponents; it is not the slander of nn acrimonious political campaign; it did not originate with those who arc tho euemies of his party. But it is the story 1 of a notorious, undeniable, vice that all humane men regret. It was the warning expostulation of a neWspapcranxious for Llie supremacy of the democratic party in the state. .“It was published,” as the Review says, “before his nomhAition to oppose his nomination;” but the force of tho objection was not spent in the convention which deliberately unheeded the warning, but it is felt by the conscience and judgment of every man who has a care for the welfiafo of .the public service, or tho honor of bis state. In 1872" Clio iTpuCHeaii party tSt)Aired » -dmifai expostulation. and

lost their governor; If with this experience before them tho democracy have committed a like blunder they have no claim upon public sympathy.

AN IMPERTINENT MEDDIER.

If it is true, as the nationals toll uh, Hint Hon. George Major is pledged, lit, the event of his election to tho sitate senate, to opposo tile election of Mr. Voorltees to the United Slates senate, why not all, both democrats and nationals, vote for ITon. John \V. Winter? If all tiio voters of the 24th senatorial district, democrats and nationals us well ns republicans, are opposed to the election of Mr. Voorliecs, why divide our forces? Mr. Wime.r was first in the Held and is Hie peer of Mr. Major In respectability, in intellect* in judgment, in education, in integrity, in patriotism, in sympathy for tiie people, in experience, in nil the qualifications of a legislate"—why not unite upon him? Ostensibly Mr. Major may bein candidate of tiie district,'but actually he is merely the agent of those pestilent demagogues, the brothers Buchanan of Indianapolis. They traded him to •the advantage of their own pockets iu the organization of the last session of the legislature, one of them manipulated the vote of Jasper county at least for his renomination 4 and through tiie notorious Anson Wolcott prevented the name bf a gentleman whom they could not make u compact witli from appearing ns a competitoi In the Goodlaud convention of Juno 29th. These are no idle statements; they are truths supported by hrefragable evidence. Mr. Major’s followers in Jasper county say that if elected he will opposo Mr. Voorhcee; tiie events at Indianapolis winter before last aud the senate records prove that Mr. T. B. Buchanan made personal gain out of Mr. Major’s ollicial votes; the same man Buchanan was in Rensselaer on the 22d day of June past and in a public speech told his democratic hearers that their leaders were not to be trusted, and urged them to desert to the standard of the nationals, and

afterwards privately electioneered for the nomination of ftlr. Major, knowing that Mr. Hoover was iu the Held; at Goodlaud it was Mr. Wolcott, nsstated by the Fowler Democrat, who added the culminating opinion that no man of indexible democratic record could command the fiat national greenback labor voce of the district, which prevented the consideration of Mr. Hoover’s aspiration by theconvention. Neitiier with democrats nor nationals, as partisans, can The Union expect to have i» fluenee, lint it makes a direct personal appeal to the honest, voter, of the district, of whatever creed, who cherishes and cultivates a spirit of manly independence, to resent in a proper and effectual manner this indecent and impertinent interference of a corrupt demagogue with the affairs of our district. Was not some ulterior scheme of personal mercenary gain in contemplation is it plausible that men of such notorious character would take this deep and anxious interest in the nomination of a particular candidate in a district so remote from him? If there is nothing corrupt at the bottom of this tiring wiry so anxious to nominate a particular man? If party principles were all there was at stako could they not he as ably and faithfully advocated by some gentleman that Mr. Buchanan had never obtained an influence over? What think the friends of Mr. Sellers, what think the friends of Mr. Hoover,, what think the people about this? If it was a question of popularity, of which of the three gentlemen could comtnaud the most votes, were not the inhabitants of tire district as competent to decide it as a oil!a:u of Indianapolis wire lives one hundred and fifty miles away? Is it rda’ly true that that political ‘adventurer and charletan, -who cannot command following euougli where lie is intimately known to bo elected ward constable, nmy appear before the a'lied democracy of four proud counties, wiUiout character and with no recommendation other thau imponderable cheek, tell them they are the dupes of wicked leaders, manipulate their conventions before their open eyes, through the mouth of a man whom he had branded in the public p eas as a venaPbribe-taker nominate for them iris own pliant tool? And have none of them courage to resent such stupendous effrontery? What fascination Is there for men of spirit in a iiarty that patiently submits to such flagrant Indignities? What inducements does it oiler the ambitious youth of respectability? Where are democrats to gain by such au alliance?

Tho Valparaiso Messenger nominates John H. Winterbolhain, state senator from LaPorte county, for the democratic consideration for tho congressional nomination. Considering Mr. VVinterbotbam's caucus speech at tho gt, Louis democratic national convention and his shares of national bank stock, this concession of a greenback advocate is as pathetic as Chaplain llagsdale’s penitent retraction. An interesting tableau might bo arranged now with the Lal’orto Artfit* weeping upon ttir iH r (Ti; or i tiin nuo ph.yte of the hnifi intniey faifli

Upon tlie tUrow tiie puraerr of proof! According to the rule In ST! courts of justice the reverse is the true principle; but what cares the democratic party for this?- It is notorious that in order to perpetuate slavery the democratic party inauguarated civil war and sympathised witli rebellion; to control states they have resorted to terrorism, murder and assassination; to secure a president they tried to bribe electors and returning boards; why should they scruple at slander to gain a member of congress?

The national greenback labor party of Jasper county have nominated for county treasurer a man who owns one of the best farms in Jasper county, well stocked, a large tfhet of improved lands in the state of Kansas, the holder of ten per cent, mortgages on bis neighbors’ farms, and who once filed an item in the county courts of twenty cents for a pie furnished a hired man who was compelled to sue him for his wages. .Less than two short years nco the Prices, the Hoovers, the Majors, the Buchanans and the democrats generally were making loud accusations of perfidy against Hon. Anson Wolcott; now he is the noblest Roam-ing of them all. He manipulates their con. venlions and dictates their nomina. tions. He sayeth to the democracy: Thus far slialt thou go but no farther, and here let thy proud hosts be stayed | and Fred Hoover’s friends become as dumb as oysters. Wolcott manages the democracy. Major manages Wolcott, tlic Buchanans manage Major.

Honors seem to have been ea«y in tli© democratic greenback national labor independent reform communistic fiat ete., etc., ete.-, etc., etc., etc.,-etc., convention at Goodlaud where Buchanan’s tradingstoek was nominated for state senator. First, the Hon. Anson Wolcott "sol” down on the Hoover men and told them that no copperhead need apply; then the Hoovers trampled upon Mr. Wolcott’s airy Idealities by incontinently tabling his resolutions. Two democratic newspapers of this senatorial district give a quasi endorsement to the nomination of Hon. George Major for state senator. If Mr. Major will give his pledge to vote for the election of Hon. D. W. VoorIlet's to tiie United States senate, the democracy of the district will give him their coidial support. The democratic newspaper referred to are the Democratic Sentinel, of Rensselaer, and the Mouticello DemocratIn order to make this the happiest people on tiie globe, the government ought, after issuing fiat money sufficient for the demands of trade, to make fiat food, clothing, habitations, means of transportations, education, in short supply all their necessities, and leave them nothing to do but multiply iq>on the earth and hold otfice. Down with discriminating legislation! Fiat in one, fiat in all!

Ezra C.■ Nowcls, greenback cnndl. date for auditor of Jasper county, is a member of tho county democratic central committee. Dur i Wg .tbo,^w,ar, lie was a venomous young copperhead, who thought the death of a loyal soldier “not much consequence “as they are mostly from the lower, "uneducated classes of society.”. Mr. David Allen Fawcett has sold the Delphi News to a stock company, who have changed its name to Sun and will conduct it in the interest of the flat party. Fawcett is a good editor—one of the best local editors in the state. The company is not apt to improve upqn thoiVemin that respect. “Tl>c democrats will have oandidatos in the debt lor llic office* of representative an,! jirvmeCnting attorney, andnrobuhly senator.— FvuUr l/tmvcntl. ’ - It is thought In repubtiean circles that probably Mr. Anson Wolcott nominated the democratic candidates for those positions at the Goodlaud convention, June 2S)th. , 11 . i It w.u throMti the'manipulations Of Anson Wolcott that rriil Hoover whs jostled oIT the track tor tho senatorial nomination.

Editor Union: Doubtless the friends generally have received the sad iutolligmew of the deaih of my dour companion, from a number of whom wo have received hind words of sympathy in this dark and trying hour. Knowing as I do that h°r noble anil generous nature, ever cheerful and kind disposition, together with her pnro' and spotless lifo endeared her, not only lo brothers and sistersin the flesh and In tbs church, but a host of others amopg whom she mingled for so long a time—to all of these 1 would say the remembrance of your many tokens of fraternal kindness cheered her in her lonely hours, Bhe would have loved to have seen yon all once more. Bho was not only resigned hut cheerful to the very lust; never for one moment complained of her lot, hut ever hud- words of encouragement and cheer for others. Her Confidence and hope in the life to comenerer wavered. On the morning of tho 26th uh. she calmly fell asleep, without a strnggloor seeming disquietude. The same sweet smiie on her countenance even in death, 1 know it would have bc-eb a gratification to you, &8 well as a comfort to us, could you have been near to render assistance with your own bands and help bear the grief in the trying hour. The friends awl neighbors manifested extreme-kindness, and did all that could be done in the way of assistance; showing their respect by a large gathering at 9 o'clock the next morning—conveying her to her present resting place in the cemetery at Magnolia, where they laid her away to slamber, wfrhmrtwjrhwposing ceremonies. TM& Haptfst minister read ny my reqnest the fourth chapter of First Thessaloniana from the thirteeenth verse to Its Close,'after whirl* the congregation sang, "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,” which had been bsr favorito hymn, kluy tho glad day of deliverance and sweet reunion hasten on.

From the Remington Times.

Robert Parker started on a trip to Kansas, yesterday, with his brother North, and one or two other Lafayette gentlemen. There are six or eight horses being trained at the lair grounds, preparatory to making ft three minUtp or less gait at tho coming fair. • ' • F, K. Donnelly «ays the M. T. Bfc on the red ribbon he wears means “musn’t take much.” There are a dozen fellows in and ul,out Remington who would do well to wear one and heed the legend. There are just eleven persoos now living in Remington who were living here seventeen years ago. There were then fifteen families in Remington, eleven of which have found homes elsewhere. A motion for a new trial wag made in Ibo McCully case and argued last Saturday. The judge refused lo grant it, and t’harlio can bo considered a tenant of the northern penitentiary for tho next six years. Occasionally in riding over the prairio a square of yellow meets the eye, that denotes the enterprise of iho proprietor in sowing wheat. There ought to bo a field or this on every farm? Mien there would be n» need of sixty thousand dollars leaving Remington every year for flour alone. Until our farmers take the Yankee tdau (raise some of everything) farming will at times bo up hill business. Tho one crop system will be a failure oftener than i« for ,tfie financial good of those interested. ’’Mr!"J.'O.-Masow met with an accident ou Tuesday morning which, it is a great wonder, did not rosult in any daDgerous injuries. Ills boy was holding the team attached to a corn-plow, when tno horses started. Mr. Mason sprang to their heads, but his strength, united with that of tho boy, fifteen years old, could not check then, and! in the struggle the lines wore broken, Mr. Mason thrown down, tho horses and plow passing over him. Asido from sonio few bruises on legs and arms, and being stirred) up generally, bo escaped any very serious ..wounds. The of temperance has struck our sister town, Rensselaer, in a mauner that means business. Several of tho prominent citizens of that place, who had for years, as thoir only failing, boon in the habit of too freely using tho urdent, here foresworn their cups, and they arc men who have the stamina to hold on in ibo heller course. They brought common sense and reason to work in the matter,and tho result was such ns inevitably follows when these arc altowod froo action. Remington might woll foltow tho example. Although, hore its then-, none of our business men arc gono beyond a capability of tending to business property, vet (hero arc a few who are slowly httt surely dosiroyitigthcmsolyes, body and soul, bv tho pernicious habit of indulging in intoxicating drinks. Tho bistory of the various temperance societies aud alliances hot* not been suoh as to create much ooth»sunm» in tho matier. But if the oominumly wfll come together and treat the sutyect lu a sober, common sense view, w«uh good will arise. In ihese Union of financial depression, drunkenness is one of the luxuries tlist can easily be dispensed with. f * »>» iw ay , The (loodland Register thinks R wist» ’ sensible movement of thn oonventiou of the nationals of this circuit at Q«kmUiilMHK alter day.in eudorsiL
