Democratic Central Committee in Jas
per. on the 81 inst. under stand reso.
, luton was adopted calling delegate
J county convention, for the 18th OF April.
for the purpose of appointing delegates.
, and of transaciing such other business
as may come before it, Permit me to
express my qualification, and, also, as
know, the appreciation Of large num-
bcr of citizens of Patoka township, at
this important move Of the Central
Commitice in the right direction, as
that "oiher business we hope will in
Iclude the nomination of full county
ticket for the offices 10 be filed at the
Fall election. The people Of the county,
I who are interested in having The best
men for county officers. instead Of the
most illiternte and drunken set. should
attcrd the township meetings in large
force Oh April 18Th, and insist on in
slructing their township delegates 10
nominate candidates ior every Office,
'aHu Also IoE WIG III W NOtc.
Ii our people do moi wish 70 be made
a laughing stock and butt OF ridiculc by
ltbe Radical papers. and also to suffer
! from incompetent officers. which is
worse. they will have 10 adopt the poll
ley of holding fair Conventions. which
cannot lie packed. because of the num-
bcrs attending them. and nominating
good men and sticking to them until
after the sun goes down on election day.
! hope may be excused for speaking
thus warnlylon this subject. and will
lonlv give two insl;H 'es " hicl fell under
my own observation in the last year. for
NY Justification. and which an officer
responsible 10 his party for his position
would M, have permitted. if he ever
expected To be nominated again. First
lour worthy Treasurer, Mr.. W. Drc.z.
who 10 Guubi in his own acts. makes Il
,cou,pctcnt officer. who would moi wish
10 ol.pre>s Ike people unnecessarily. ap-
points Mr.. i. Fink as Ecruty to collect
IGc.inIucn. taxes. and this Deputy dcs.r-
led 10 collect mileage al the rate Of ten
cents per mile. of of citizen of thi,
township. upon whom he had never
,callcd, but WHO had paid his taxes in
Jasper To the Auditor. Mr.. VI. Friedman.
during the Illegal absence OF Mr.. Drc,z
from his Office. .Anl right here il might
not be out of the wa! 10 say that in all
other counties the Treasurer is in his
office every day ready 10 receive taxes,
instead vi one day in the week, as gen
orally nine months OF the year at Jasper.
The other case refer 10 Of which an
officer would be ashamed. if he were
Nominated by party. is against the
clever Sheriff, Mr.. Herbig. and is the
result Of want of education, which he
ought to acquire, ii he wants office.
have noticed several Of his notices Of
sales tackled up which are spellcdso 81 badly
that a school boy would be ashamed of
them. Mr.. Editor, hasn't he got "A young
son going to school in Jasper. that he
could get TO write his notices for him
or don't Mr.. Meier or Mr.. Edmsoll
teach spelling. II they don't, let him
send his son 10 Huntingburg, aud Mr..
Osborn will teach him in year so that
lie can spell better than the notices of
Mr.. Kcrwcrs sale by the Sheriff in this
township were spelled. noticed one
OF the advertisements posted in Mr.. J..
iIKunklcr's store, which was signed To-
bias IIcrbig. Sheriff ID. G., and in which
horse was spelled 'hores;" and spotted
was spelled "spodcl," may be il was i'm
tended for spaycd, or may be it was !,
new breed OF hogs Mr.. Kcrwcr was
introducing. There was another word
I couldn't tell what it meant. spelled
."wciyth' and white. was spelled 'wite,
! thought surely llerbig wa, not such a
wight as To spell in that blundcring way.
ibu, there il was before my eyes with his
name 10 il. and he crying the sale. 50
there could be no mistake about il be-
ing his writing. Numerous other SINH
lar instances could be mentioned, and
which nonlinhtions would probably
cure, but enough for this time. may
give more Ia another article.
