M««r». F. J. Soars A Co. were U»> busy this week to prepare notices. They sre stIE there, however, ready to wait on customers. The premium lists of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association, for the fair of 1878, are in the hands of the officers for distribution. Hon. John W. Winter, of Ilurnettsrille, republican candidate tor state senator, was in town yerterday looking over the field. He will bo elected bv a handsome majority —probably 1,000 or more. Jasper county democrats are laboring to soire this conundrum; Where the h—l is our county ticket? At the same time a feeble voice Is heard in the depths asking: Which of us was swallowed? Which end is wagging? The republicans of Milroy township are plucky if not numerous. At the Mate election two years ago they numbered 19; at the township mass convention last Saturday 10 of them participated. They take the banner for activity. Mr. Benjamin F. Butler, who lins recently joined the greenback party, proposed, in a recent speech, that congress issue four hundred millions in non-interest hearing bonds of the United Stales to settle tho unemployed laboring men of.the United States upon the public lands of the United States. Among the other excellent nominations made'by tho republicans at Wanatah on Tuesday, was E. C. Field, of Lake county, for circuit judge of the Lake, Starke and Porter circuit.

The democrats in this dietriet seem to be in a quandary. They are undecided whether it would bo belter to nominate Senator Winterbotham for congress on account of the money he would spend lo gain the election, or to take Morg. Weir on account of his grcenbackism. It maks little difference to tlie republicans which horn of tho dilemma they take. —Mishawaka Enterprise.

Hon. W. H. Calkins, republican candidate for representative in congress, invites Ids constituents in Jasper county, irrespective of political faith, age or sex, to meet him in -Rensselaer, Saturday. August 3d, 1878, and hear - 'the report of his stewardship during the late session of congress. All arc respectfully asked to circulate this notice and secure a general attendance upon this meeting, ns it will probably be the only one hell by him at Rensselaer this year. It is thrown out as a suggestion that the fiats sot up their candidate for county treasurer in a pie stand until the <fall election. He might hand out his pics without saying anything about pay at the time, but make a memorandum of those who take them, and, if defeated at the polls, ns he surely will be. sue each recipient for ten cents' a pie. In Hits way ho could keep fresh liis reputation *8 a philanthropist, a friend of the poor, and at the same time earn enough to bear his proportion of the campaign expenses. It is surprising what a number of democrats' are satisfied now that the fiat parly made a blunder In rejecting James Yeoman for Ezra C, Nowles as tboir candidate for auditor. The latter somehow don’t seem to inspire tho enthusiasm they want. There nre too many voters in Jasper county whom he thought at one time “were mostly from the lower, uneducated class of society,” whose death he did not think would prove a serious loss to the country. Ezra don't make much headway with the union soldier element of Jasper! The fiats are becoming disheartened at the number of democrats who arc outspoken in their condemnation of the cowardice of their leaders in permitting a parcel of sorehead republicans to bulldoze them into nn endorsement of a bastard county ticket. In every township of Jasper county arc to he found democrats who declare that they will be neither coerced nor cajoled into voting for tho men who deny the democratic party but are endorsed by the democratic county seat ring. They feel that they have been snubbed and prefer not to vote at all rath or than endorse the insult to their manhood.
