Frank Dobsox is the James 6. Blaine of Monroe county. It; was harmonious; . it was fair; it was the voice of -the people. The Telephone had nought to say before the convention, but now it is for the entile Republican ticket. Saturday was the soldiers' and laboring man's day. Three gallant soldiers and one hardy listed blacksmith were nominated. m m m The Republican party in Monroe county is controlled by a ring, and every man wbo nteuds to vote the jacket is a member of it.

second, on the Republican county ticket. There i?js no political dudes in Monroe county. There may be excuses for violating some Sunday laws, but the habit, in different parts of the State of playing base ball on that day is wrong, and the Telephone is glad to see that the managers are being brought to their senses by the law. There isn't much excuse for base ballon any day, much less on the Sabbath. Able-bodied, well muscled men ought to devote themselves to something more useful in this world of rush and business. to mm The Republicans have opened the campaign and the result depends entirely upon the efforts of individual Republicans; The men on the ticket and the Republican Central
Committee can do but a very small portion of what is to be done. The first lead, and the latter show the
way, but unless the volunteers do the fighting nothing can be done. Every Republican, young and old,
is partially responsible for the re
sult in November, and let us under
stand now that it is only by earnest
and unrelenting efforts that success
is assured. Each Republican you
and 1 must contribute to the result;
and this is the time to begin. As good a ticket as ever lead the party to victory has been placed in the
field. So let ns elect it! Map out
your work, single out a doubtful
voter and have him ready for next
November By the proper effort
Monroe county can oe maae give 250 for the State, National and county ticket. Every man must do
Jus duty.
THE CONVENTION. Last Saturday's convention paved the way for certain success of the Republican ticket. It was the peoples convention, managed by the people,, and necesttairly nominated the people's candidates; It is one thing pleasant in Monroe county politics that no matter how bitter the contest, how strong the opposition, or how determined the aspirants and 'their friends, when the convention assembled puts upon a man its stamp of recognition as a choice, all differences are healed and with consent friend and foe there meet on common grounds and go out to fight the enemy. So it was
Sa turday. The con te st, especi al 1 y
overvthe office of Sheriff, was excit
ing; many things were said that
should not have been said; many
ings were done that should not
have been done; but as if by common
consent when the balloting was over
all were for the man nominated."
Those that were defeated made a
gallant fight, and had any one of them been selected, they would
have made, we believe, a successful canvass and been triumphantly
elected, for they were men true to the party, good citizens arid, well qualified. In the very nature of
things, however, some h&d to
go down, and it is in the trying hour of disappointment when defeat
stings to, the very quick that men
prove themselves, and the Telephone knows not these men if they
do not stand the test.
Of the choice made it is only necessary to say that they were men selected by that convention. Isaac Claman, for Treasurer, is the present incumbent, and for near two years has filled that office so worthy that not a descending voice was heard when his name was presented.
For Sheriff, Frank Dobson the bighearted, honest, hardy-fisted Blacksmith, was selected; a man who is a man a man because he made himself. With sledge in hand he has rang the anvil day in and out, and without a cent upon which to build, has founded him a little home, and become a worthy citizen; a true representative of Republicanism; a worthy representative of the men who know no rest from the toils of this life, but week in and week out must work hard and faithful. Such
an honor could not have been better
bestowed, representing as he does
the very sinue and foundation of all prosperity the laboring man.
When the November election rolls
around the Telephone predicts such a majority for Dobson as was never known. With ballot in hand the
laborer, regardless of party, will
march to the polls and vote for their
champion and their friend,
For Commissioners, W. M. Kirby
and J. H. Fulford, were selected;
both worthy to fill such in import
ant ofiice; men of character, of de
termination and able to manage the
affairs that must come before them.
For Coroner Dr. Jas. Maxwell, and for Suveyor Henry McCalla, are in every sense capable of the trust and gentlemen who will add strength to the ticket. All in all it was a good day's work; the convention performing its duties faithfully to the people; and a ticket is presented that ever citizen in Monroe county can support willingly, heartily, and with assurance of success.
benefit of that pvrty. Of two evils
their good sense admonishes them to
choose the least. They see a ray of hope in the plank of the Republican platform favoring a call of a constitutional convention, while they cannot find even a crumb of comfort in the Democratic principles as enunciated by Mr. English. If a constitutional convention should be held and a prohibition amendment submitted to a vote of the people at a special election, the tempeVunee people will have gained' what they have been struggling for these many yea is. Therefore, w?hy should they antagonize the Republicans? It is obvious to any fair-minded person that we cannot draw any Democratic votes, and it would be the worst kind of a folly, to my mind, if we were to do anything that would
have a tendency to place our bitter
est enemies in power.
The (-ourier this week has a great deal to say about Dobson, and claims he is an infidel. It has most likely got the name of Col. Matson mixd with that of Dobson. Matson has even gone so far as to lecture on infidelity, and spells God with a small "g." You see it matters a good deal which ox is gored.
The Republican convention of the Fifth Congressional District, meets at Greencastle the 16th, to nom inate a candidate for Congress. As we have before stated the Republicans, by the proper efforts, can carry this district, November next, and every effort in the future should be bent on that direction. A good candidate, 'harmonious work and earnest effort is all that is necessary.
The Democratic county convention is set for the 16th of August, by which time it is hoped a man can be found to accept the nomination for Sheriff. It was intended to hold the convention within two weeks until Dobson was nominated, when it was necessary to wait until some fellow could" be found who was foolish enough to run against him. Why is it, anyhow, that the Democrats always hold their conventions after the Republicans? mtm "The Republicans bid extravantly for the colored vote by electing a
nigger as chairman to organize the convention." Courier. "Nigger!" What's that? A few weeks ago the Courier was in high glee over a "nigger" as it chooses to call him, taking part in a Democratic convention in Bloomington township. On that occasion the Colored man was a colored friend and brother." "Nigger" was a good word twenty years ago, in good old Democratic days, but it won't do now. - a m
Ix another column of this issue
is published an editoaial from the i 'htcayo Tribune addressed to the temperance voters, which we ask a very careful reading. While many may differ as to the different ways to espouse the pause of temperance, the Tribune certainly is right in its conclusion that this campaign can in no way whatever effect temperance or temperance work. One of the two great polit ical parties must be successful, and between the two voters must decide. The Mexican Pension Bill has passed the Senate with sundry amendments, and goes to the house of Representatives with small prospects of concurrence. Pensioners of the Mexican war are to be paid 8 per month from the passage of the bill, and pensioners of the war of 1860-65 are to be paid $24 per month, or less, according to the degree of disibility. Widows or minor children of deceased soldiers shall be paid $12 per month instead of 8, the present rate. It may be inferred from the distinction made between the Mexican veterans and the soldiers who f aught for the Union that
the latter have more votes than the former.
A WORD TO TEMPERANCK VOTERS. From the Chicugo Tribune The announcement is made that the Prohibitionists of Indiana have determined to call a State Convention to nominate candidates for State offices, an Electoral ticket, and delegates to the National Prohibition Convention to be held at Pittsburg Julv 21. What sense is
there in this sort of tning? The issue in November will be whether the people will elect Blaine or hift opponent, whoei'er he may be;; whether they will repuyate the Republican party and its principles in favor of the Democratic party and its doctrines; whether they will turn out 100,000 experienced public servants to make places for inexperienced place- hunters. What possible bearing can prohibition have upon this issue? A seperate political organization can be used bv the Democrats in Indiana to divert Republican votes from the Republican National ticket and thereby i n crease the chances of Democratic success, liut will such a result be of any benefit to the prohibition cause? Is there a reasonable assurance that the Prohibitionists will be any nearer their hearts' desire if the Democratic party be brought into power than they are now? The honest Prohibitionists should bring some common sense to bear upon the situation; they should not permit themselves to oe used and deceived by political demagogs. There is not the remotest connection between the approaching Presidential cam. paign and the temperance question in any phase. The prohibition cause wil. stand just where it is today whether the Republicans elect
the President or whether the Democrats elect the President, and nothing is more certain than that one or the other of these two parties will succeed. What is the use, then, of wasting time, money, and votes on a question which does not enter into the campaign? Temperance is a matter of moral, domestic, &nd social in Anences; Prohibition can only be agitated in localities with any hope of practical results. The Republican voter who withholds his ballot from his party ticket to give it to a Prohibition ticket merely assists the Democratic party, and, as the Democratic voters are not in the habit of desertiug their party on any side issue in a Presidential campaign, why should Republican voters, no matter how seriously they may be devoted to the cause of Prohibition, contribute to Democratic success? It is difficult to
conceive how good citizens can con
scientiously throw away their votes
in a struggle which involves Na
tional principles and the integrity
of the public service. Let them
vote the Democratic ticket, if they
think they ought to; there is some
thing straightforword about that.
But it is sheer sneaking to help to elect the Democratic ticket by vot
ing for a separate Prohibition Elec
toral ticket. Such voters win
merely be the tools of political
sharpers.
Dr. J. A. Houser, President of the Indiana State Temperance Union, has made the following statement which we believe will be indorsed by every temperance man and woman in Monroe county. "The bulk of the temperance people do not see the propriety of nominating a seperate ticket. They appreciate the fact that the Democrats are in full accord with the Liquor League, and that such a movement would rebound to the
Commercial Gazette: "The political outlook at present is as promising as the Republicans could ask for. Blaine and Logan clubs are springing up spontaneously all over the country, showing the enthusiasm of the people. They are not waiting to be urged. Organization of the party for effective work is being rapidly perfected. The activity ana enthusiasm of the young men is especially noticeble, and upon them depends largely the active work of the campaign. The bolt of the so-
called Independents in New York
and New England does not seem to
be making much headway. The people have discovered that it is con
fined to a lot of free-trade theorists
who will nrobablv land on the Dem
ocratic side if the party adopts a
tariff for revenue only platform at
Chicago. The Republicans have the advantage of an early an effective start in the campaign and they are liable to keep it to the end."
