PERRY H. BLUE.

In another column announcement is made for the candidacy of Perry H. Blue, of Sullivan County, for the Piosecurling Attorneyship of this, the 14th, prejudicial Curcuit subject to the decision of the Deinocratic Convention- Mr. Blue is the present prosecuting attorney having been elected two years ago. The office under the new arrangement of the courts will be much more important in the future than in the prat, since, by the abolition of tne Criminal Court in this county, all the business which has heretofore been attended to by the Criminal Prosecutor will fcecome apart oi the duty of Ihe^Pro—outing Attorney. It will be, therefore, one ot the most important of offices.

During the two years he has held the office most of the business has been transacted in Sullivan county. There has been comparatively little for him to do in Vigo, but what there has been he has performed promptly and satisfactorily, and with ability. Of all the men for whom the Democrats of Vigo county voted two years ago, Mr. Blue was the only one elected, and he has done nothing during the two years he has been in office, 10 far as we have ever learned, to make his constituents in either of the two counties regret that he was their choice. Should Be be nominated by the convention he would make a strong candidate in this county as well as in his own and his reoord in the position is a guarantee that the duties of the office in case of his election would be performed faithfully and well. Mr. Blue and friends think he would add strength to tbe ticket not only in Sullivan, but ?n Vi^o also.

JAMES M. BANKS-*- [),•**

Announcement is made to-day of tbe candicacy ot James M. Sankev for the office of County clerk, subject to the decision of the Democratic convention. Mr. Sankcy is so well known and is held in such high esteem by all acquainted with him that it almost seems to be BU|tertluous for the GAZETTE to say anything ia his behalf. As County Treasurer he was a prompt and faithful official and it can be truly said that the county never had a Treasurer who perlormed all the duties of the office better or left it in better shape. His acquaintance ovei the county is extensive and this has been abundantly demonstrated whenever he has been a candidate by the splendid vote he has received, and that he justified that confidence and deserved the esteem of his fellow citizens is a fact abundantly borne out by his official career. Should he be nominated be would make a strong canvass and in the office the people could rply upon his doing bis duty, wml

JAOOB ORTH.

In another column Jacob Orth, of Otter Creek Township, is announced as a ean-, didate for County Commissioner from tber First District, subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating convention. Mr. Orth though yet in the prime of lite and comparatively speaking a young man may be termed an old citizen and it is in certain that no person in Vigo county bears a higher or better reputation for honor and honesty and all the qualities that go to make up the character of a sturdy man and an upright citizen. He would make a good commissioner or could fill any offie within the gift of the people of Vigo county with credit. Ho stands well with citizens of all classes and is liked most by those who* know him best there is io factao better man anywhere than he is an» should he be nominated and elected commissioner the people of Vigo county cauld rest secure in the belief that the public business devolving on him would be faithfully and honestly performed. It is a pleasure to bear testimony to the character of so excellent a man.

JOHN W. WIL80N.

Elsewhere announcement is made of the candidacy of John W. Wilson for County Commissioner from the 1st. district, subject to the decision oi the Democratic nominating Convention. Mr. Wilson is at present commissioner from that district and is filling out hie second term. How faithful an officer he has been tbe record as printed in the papers from month to month duriDg the past five years, bear eloquent testimony. He has done his duty, his whole duty and nothing but his duty all the time. Since he has been commissioner several important matters involving great interests have been before the Board, and in and through it all Mr. Wilson has proved himself so clear from all offense, has been so true to his duty, has been so faithful to the interests of the whole people, haa remembered amid the clamor of the importunate and the dishonest the righta df the humblest citizens in tbe most distant township, that should he get the nomination irom the .Democratic party he ought to recejve IUJ overwhelming majority of the popular vote. In wet he ought, in tbe event of ilia nomination, to be unanimously elected but whether he has opposition or not in tbe Republican party he would receive nearly fifty per cent, of the vote of that party. The truth of the matter i»- John Wilson has borne himself like the honest man that he is under circumstances peculiarly trying, and has stood by the people ana their just and true interests when it took some backbone and courage to do

We venture the prediction

that should Mr. Wilsou be the Democratic candidate he would get a larger popular vote than any man ever received in Vigo oountj for a county office, and this prediction is based Upon evidence of the most undoubted kind from all over Vigo county and from men of all parties who have bone cheerful testimony to their gratitude to him for his faithful service in their behalf and have expressed a desire that they might be given an opportunity to vote for him.

ON A STRIKE.

The Paddlers of the Vigo Iron Works Quit work, and 150 Men are Off

With a Proepeet that More Will be Thrown out of Employment if the 8trike Continnea-

jiati-ca From Monday's DailyvThe strike of iron workers which began a few days ago in other cities, struck Terre Haute this morning, when thirtytwo puddles and sixty-four helpers at the Wabash Iron Works refused to continue work unless the contract under which they are at present working is destroyed with the muck rollers and laborers who are obliged to stop when the puddlers quit work- There are from 150 to 175 men out of work. It is not a demand for higher wages, but only a question of being bound by the contract under which they arc now working, and these men offer to continue work at the present prices uutil Pittsburg shall make anew scale, provided the contract is destroyed. This is the only poii:t of differ, ence at present. The contract is as follows:

Agreement.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 29,1881.

.The following is th3 agreement entered into this day between the proprietors of rolling mills in Cincinnati and vicinity, and the workmen in.conference for that purpose:

We, the proprietors of the rolling mills in Cincinnati and vicinity, agree to pay the prices ruling here immediately prior to June first (1st), 1881, for skilled labor, until Juae 1st, 1882 and from then forever after the prices sh&U be the same as may be adopted in Pittsburgh, Pa.

In the event of no price being fixed as tbe Pittsburgh and vicinity scale of wages on June first (1st), 1882, tbe men here are to continue work at the scales in force mmi prior to June 1st, 1881, and when a scale of wages bo agreed upon at Pittaburgh, said scale of wages shall be the wages Male for Cincinnati aad vicinity.

It is agreed that where scrap and cinder fix is used in boiling, fifty cents (50a) per ton shall be paid for boiling in addition to the price established tor boiling where cold or patent ore fix is used.

It is also agreed that the proprietors, In consideration of the workmen having accepted the Pittsburgh ccale of wages as above specified, the proprietors will furnish all the labor as furnished by Pittsburgh proprietors to men working at rolls, furnaces, or other skilled work.,.,.

We certify the above to be correct. L. M. DAYTON, CHAS. J. TRANTER,,,

The "paddle wheel" at the fair grounds seems to have met more than its match in Terre Haute. If Mr. Hughes, the proprietor, is to be believed be aid not make back the $500 he paid in for the privilege. Still, the popular impression is that he made lots of money. All the club rooms want to start a "paddle wheel" which they think will make enough money to abolish dues.

Hit With a Shovel.

One dsy last week Joe Goodman struck George Murray over tbe head with a shovel. The difficulty occurred in the west end, both being engaged in unloading coal. Soon afterward Murray was discovered by some policemen in an unconscious condition and was arrested and slated lor drunkenness. In the morning he was too sick to be tried, and Saturday morning he was removed to the poor house. His death was reported, but this on further investigation proves to be untrue. He is, however, in a Very precarious condition and may die. Nothing has yet been done in tbe matter.

Political Netes.

In another-column announcement is made of the candidacy of Isaac P. Hippel for the office ot county commissioner or the Third district, subject to the decision of the^Deraocratic convention. Mr. HippeMs~an did r&id^nt of Lintop township and sfca-:cltiaefrind Democrat is without reproach. He has many friends who will press his name for the nomination and be would make a strong candidate before the people.

iTbe Bradford Case,

The relatrix in tbe baatarday suit of State ex rel. Josephine Houser vs John N. Bradford has appealed the case from Justice Cookerly, where the verdict was in favor of the defendant. Bradford bad a shooting affray with a young man named Goodman at Bloomtown one day last week over some trouble the young man had with Bradford's daughter. None of the shots took effect ijt»:

"Lll John Roenev'a Will. The last will of John Roonev, of the county Fermanagh, Ireland, who died while temporarily residing in this city, has been admitted to probate.

The will wa» executed May 9, 1862, and bequeaths to Father McEvoy all the real and personal property as a trust to be used by him as provided for by thetestator..

Mr- Bryant's S accessor.

The Indianapolis Journal says: "E. B. Allen, route agent of the Adams Express Company in Colorado, succeeds E. A. Bryant as agent of this company at Terre Haute."

This iB a mistake. Mr. F. H. Piper, formerly of PhiladelpVia but lately ar route agent for the Adams Express Company at El Pas, New Mexico, will succeed Mr. Bryant. He will be here to take the place in a few days.

A bogus patent right man calling hhn" self H. A. Bouge Is or rather was loose is the south part of the county. He came into Prairieton on Friday May 26th. Hie entrance was rather peculiar. He had a livery man drive hiin from Marshall, 111., to Hewett's Landing on the Wabash. Ar-j rlvedthere hrtaMtbe man to- wait fore him with the buggy as he wanted to scfC{ a man across the river and would be bacK:,. in an hour as he must catch the train all' Marshall. The livery man waited until dark and went home a wiser, poorer and" madder man. Arrived at Prairieton ha put-tip with Mr. H. Myers who keeps taverti there. He represented himself snr the owner of the C. W. Hull patent flexUf ble gale and said his home was at Logans-* port. He was selling County rights foi||? $2.90 and 25 per cent commission on the sales. In the prosecution of this laudable enterprise he had hW Wttt, Myers, driveP" him about tbe country and this togetheJT with his board amounted on Xhursaay td $9.00 which Mr. M. is willing to discount for a small amount ot cash. Houge eold Sullivan County t^ W. D. Malone of Vigo County to Ferdinand Volkers, both prominent citizens of Prairieton and on Thursday came up to the city his ever faithful friend Myers bringing him up in the buggy. He left Mr1. Myers to go to the Adams Express offlire where he was expecting to get a large amount of baggage and that is the last that has been seen of him. From some

people

who were in Prairieton this week one of whom recognized, Houge, it was learned that his name is McCullough and that hecomes from Evsnsville. He is a bad egg who ought to be thrown at a jail cell and' be broken up.
