Our County Ticket. 5

We publish on the first page of this
paper, the proceedings of the Repub-
lican Convention held last SATURDAY..
\ goodly number of Republicans
were there, representing every town
ship in the county. Bourbon was
represented by her best citizens,
among the number, and, prominent
among them, was Rev. Geo. H.
Thayer. the Erwins, Parks, Mr. Mat
tingly, and several others of the old
substantial citizens of that thrifty
town. From Argos, we noticed
Messrs Pickerl, Smith, Gould, Lowe,
Atkinson, Lowery, and many others
of character and influence. From
Bremen, we noticed Mr.. Kenegar,
Macomber and others, representative
men Of the business, and the Republi-
can party, of that energetic, goa
head town. Tyner City was well rep
resented by good men, whose names
we do not now recall. Marmont and
vicinity had Il good delegation of the
active, good men Of that part of the
county. We might name others from
other parts of the county, but suffice
it to say that the meeting was com
posed of as good and true men as the
county affords. The good order which
prevailed, during the entire meeting,
was really compliment to the ability
of the noble old Republican who pre-
sided, with so much fairness and true
dignity, over the assembly.
or the candidates we shall say but
little, ut present, hoping that they are,
as we have reason to believe them to
be, eminently qualified for the posi-
tons to which they aspire Two
years ago we said more in favor Of
some of the candidates than we after
wards wished we had for we must
confess that some OF the candidates,
notably the man who was on our
ticket for Representative, was about
as poorly qualified for that position
rs any person who could have been
selected. He was not without some
ability: but he had so little feeling in
common with the people, that he
would have represented nobody but
himself if he had been elected.
As we come to know our candi-
dates better, we shall be pleased TO
speak of them individually, as we
think they merit. In the mean time
we hope the Republicans of the coun-
ty will give us all the information,
about our candidates, that should be
known to our readers.

FRANKFORT, Ind, June 81.

FRANKFORT, Ind, June 81.
To the Editor Of the Republican:
To-day was glorious day in the
ninth Congressional district of Indiana
The Republicans in convention assem-
bled in this city of Frankfort, put in
nomination for Congress the Hon.
Mike ID. White. of Charlottesville,
Montgomery county. He is host in
himself, and was placed before the peo-
pie with the utmost enthusiasm. and
will be elected without fail in October
next. His four or five able competitors
for the nomination made telling
speeches in his favor, and only one feel
ing prevailed in the vast crowd assem-
bicd, and that was satisfaction with
the work of the convention. Among
the resolutions adopted was one warm
ly approving the faithful service in
Congress of that able statesman, Judge
Cason, our present representative. 1t
is eminently deserved, and | trow not
the country will hear of him in future
If he lives.
Hon. Judge Orth, the Republican
candidate for Governor. being present,
was most enthusiastically called out,
and made one of his stirring and pol
ished speeches. The immense crowd
of upturned faces swayed back and
forth under the sweep of his earnest
eloquence as the forest before the storm.
His power lies in his truth and earnest
ness. He showed up the Confederate
Democracy in their true light, and he
intends To be heard in every county in
the State during the canvass. That he
will be elected Governor is a foregone
conclusion. With Hayes and Wheeler
and Ortiz TO head our national and
State tickets, the Republican party, if
active and vigilant, will sweep the
country; and with White for Congress,
we will roll up a glorious majority in
the old ninth.
Let the glorious Republican party go
forth once more to the polls, and in
this our national Centennial, kill and
bury the Confederate Democracy be-
yond the power of resurrection.

Methods of a RefOrmer.

If Samuel j. Tilden, Governor of
New York, and the "reformer who
never reformed anything except him
self into office, is not nominated this
week at st. Louis for President of the
United States, it will not be through
any lack of effort on the part of himself
and his friends. During the last two
months his managers have been sending
to all the Democratic newspapers i'm the
West, circulars, statements, and clip
pings from other papers, with the in
formation that for their publication,
payment would be made at the rate of
ten cents per line. We have seen the
trick denounced as it deserves in sew
eral honorable Democratic newspapers
in this State that could not be bought
away from Hendricks. The Columbia
City Journal promptly exposed the
transaction The Plymouth Democrat
also FASTENED to expose the disreputa-
BILE proposition, and the Goshen Demo
crdt vigorously expressed its opinion of
these ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain.' We quote from it as
follows:
The Tilden letter writer's and circu-
lar printing bureau have been very busy
for the last two months. The average
reception of printed editorial slips and
confidential circulars advocating the
claims of Tilden for the Democratic
nomination, with an urgent request for
the editor TO reprint, received at this
office, would scarcely be believed if we
were to state it. 1t satisfies us that
Tilden Is put forward as the candidate
of the specie-esumptioniS and that
they are reSOrting to the corrupt prac-
tees common among New York politi-
clans of buying their way into power.
We consign their editorial slips and
confidential circulars to the waste bas-
ket and use them for wrapping paper,
while we advocate the nomination of
Gov. Hendricks as the only one it
seems to us fit to be made.
Those New York gentlemen, the
Iilden managers, must have high
idea of the honor of Democratic news
papers. 1t is to the credit of the Dem
ocratic editors that so many of them
have denounced and exposed this cor
rupt proposition.

What The Paners Say.

1t will not always do trust to the
judgment or prejudice of newspaper
editors when they speak of candi-
dates for political favor.
c. II. Reeve, of Plymouth, was
nominated by the Democrats of Mar
shall, Pulaski and Fulton counties for
Senator on the Sth inst. We always
supposed the irrepressible Reeve was
too ylrtuOuS TO accept a nomination
at the hands of the Democratic party,
but wanted to build up one of his
own that was free from political chi
canery. Reeve is great blather-
skite.-jtdrSdlC (Dent.) Union.
That is not very iattering to come
from an able Democratic paper. But
here follows something entirely diff
ferent
The Democratic Senatorial Con-
vention met at Rochester last Thurs
day and nominated G. H. Reeve, of
Plymouth, for Senator. There were
two reasons for Mr.. Reeves nomina-
ton. He was the ablest gentleman
before the Convention, and the De-
mocracy are a little afraid Of him and
do not desire to arouse his opposi-
ton. We believe Mr.. Reeve is hon
est politically, and every other way
We know just where to find him on a
political question. A Democrat of the

Now, which Of the two is right? Just
as like as not both of them will be
sustained in their opinions by their
intelligent readers.

Classic Shades.

Shades indeed And classic too
Three years and a half ago, | first be-
held and wandered in admiration
through the wonderful campus of Wa
bash college. 1t was then October, and
the frosts had enrolled the trees with
their matchless golden robes. And
now in June, their wondrous wealth of
green is in strange contrast, less glo-
rious, but not less beautiful. Well does

including Yale, Harvard, Amherst,
Williams, Union and others of less note
and nowhere have found the prepare

campus, as here. The older colleges

pend upon their grounds, but with

and go in different directions, through
these winding aisles," only to see
from every new point, how grand are
these trees. A little way from my
fathers door, in central New York,
there were two immense beach trees,
but the campus of Wabash has them by
the score, and far more old and grand.
My fathers farm had great ma
Dles, but none to compare with those at
Wabash in size. No black walnuts
grew in all the region of my early
home, but here, at Wabash, there are
those which positively remind me of
the big trees of California. And all
these are SO many and SO great that
they make such dense shades" as
have seldom seen. Then, as you go
among them you find those noble struc-
lures, the buildings of Wabash College,
with its fine and rapidly increasing Ii
brary, its costly and invaluable cabinet.

and minds, all devoted to one high pur-
suit, and these combine to make these
shades classic" And | wished for
once that | were the wealthy friend of

campus, not to deface or obscure the
nature that is here, but to add to its al

The Warsaw National Union copies
little article of ours on the Judges of
the Supreme court of the State, and
then says that similar account could
be footed up against congress, adding,
I'm their bill of items were such arti-
Giles as soap, penknives, tooth picks and
other articles belonging to an outfit of
an average Radical congressman" We
presume we have had as good an oppor-
tunity to know about these things as
the editor of the Union, yet we never
knew in six years experience, single
instance where a member of congress
of either party, obtained any of those
articles without paying for them. But,
where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to
be wise, :" and we do not expect to IRA
date the dense darkness of the editor
of the Union. We may add, however,
that the 42d Congress passed a law
which prohibited the allowances of
which SO much complaint has been
made, and all the newspapers of the
Union stripe raised such howl that
the 43d Congress repealed it. The
Union and its kind should be the last
to complain of the Stationery allow
ancen to members of congress.

The work of investigation which has
consumed the entire time of the House
of Representative during this session
of congress, having been entered upon
with the sole end of breaking down
some of the leading Republicans, who
were supposed to be candidates for the
Presidency, has borne no fruit either in
the investigation, or in the end sought.
The nomination of Hayes has COM
pletely spiked their guns. All their
ammunition has been wasted. They
see the necessity for change of the
plan of campaign. Decentralization has
set in, and we really think the best
thing they can do at st. Louis is to
adopt Hayes and Wheeler, and make it
unanimous.

CRooKED-The Democratic papers
are Dragging over "A little crooked
work performed, as they say, by
"Jim" Williams. their candidate for
Governor. He left his place in Con-
gress, about the time the Democratic
State Convention was held, and came
home to LAY the worm of a fence,
some two or three miles long. on his
farm, in Knox county. He thought it
would be cheaper for him to do the
work himself and draw his S14 per
day from the government, than to be
idling his time away in Congress, and
pay poor laboring man one dollar
per day for doing it for HIM. The
Democratic papers, to make the sto-
ry interesting, say that "he took of
his blue jeans coat ana hung it on a
hickory limb" while he performed
that act of craftsmanship.
