A vote for Republican state ant? legislative candidates -is a vote against the state debt. The man wtio .fails to vote on Nov. 4th for the continuanoe of prosperity will oast an involuntary vote against himself. ** Bold fast that whioh is good’’ is the political text of Governor Durbin. • Especially when there is nothing better in sight than another sample of soup-house statesmanship. According to Democratic newspapers the meetings addressed by Senator Ganna were heavy frosts. Undoubtedly they had a blighting effect on Democratic hopes. Aroused Republicanism this year means defeated Democracy. B oth the daylight and the gum* shoe campaigns, in Jasper county are now nearly at an end. The Republicans, it is unnecessary to state, have made the daylight campaign, as always. The Democrats have worked the gum-shoe, still hunt method, as usual. We have faith enough in the Republicans of Jasper county to believe that they will not stay at home on election day and elbow the gum-shoe method to suooeed, to the extent of a single man on their ticket. Congressman Crompacker was to'have spoken here Thursday eve. bat was detained to meet the committee whioh was visiting Michigan City, with a view to ascertain its advantages for the proposed government naval school, In Mr. Ornmpaoker's place came D. E. Boone, of Hammond, who filled ihfHiltf-I -• r<- - • . -I. .

hia place very ably and acceptably. The attendance was not large, which is the chronic complaint of political meetings this fall, of all parties, Mr, Boone very reasonably explained why this is. Especially as compared with 1896, when two men talking politics on any street cjruer any plaoe could get a bigger audience in five minutes thau can now be drummed up with a brass band. In 1896 Democratic free soup and free trade leisure prevailed among the working people and they had nothing to do except to listen to political speeches. Now they are all busy days and resting nights and so have no time for politics. True too, every word of it.

Judge Thompson has ad j Turned court over in Newton county and is nowputtiDg in his time tr>ing to repay after his peculiar manner, the debt of gratitude he owes the Re publicans of Jasper oounty by trying to defeat the party candidates for county commissioner. Where the Judge’s shoe pinches, is the course of the commissioners, in doing their plain duty in trying to collect delinquent taxes, abd money due the county on abortive ditch sohemes. He is shoving an anonymous circular he wrote himself, writing equibs for Democratic papers, button holing every man he thinks he can infiueuce, and making a very edifying spectaole for a judge on the benoh. The Kentland Enterprise, a number of years ago, during Win, Djrroch’s briefjudgship in this circuit, very bitterly oritioized him for bestriding a horse and leading the procession in a Democratic parade, Well, if it had to be one or the other, we would rather see a judge come out openly and ride a horse at the head of his party’s political parade, than to slip aronnd under oover of a a anouymcu i oircular trying to knife h’ S party candidates in the back
