Decatur Democrat, Volume 26, Number 24, Decatur, Adams County, 22 September 1882 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. J. HI 1.1 . Friday, September 22, 1882, Joint Discussion. John M. Smith, democratic candidate fir State Senator, and Rev. M. M. Gleason, republican candidate for State Senator, will have a joint discussion at the court house, Thursday evening, Sept. 28th; at Pleasant Mills, Friday evening, Sept. 29th, and at Berne, Saturday evening, Sept. 30th—all turn out. The work of the Republican convention of this county is not very satisfactory to quite a number in the party, and they speak right out about it. Some of cur radical temperance people, who would ignore morals and the bible, and appeal to the law, think it no harm to bear false witness against their neighbor, regs rd it as a kind of a joke. It is certainly very strange that our people—our temperance people —so heartily endorse the Republican platform—that they denounce the Democratic platform and ignore altogether the Greenback platform, which is the plainest and most outspoken platform in regard to temperance, submission and prohibition there is in the field. If there was not a cat in the meal somewhere; if there was not an understanding that the temperance people are to lead their followers into the Republican camp, from the very nature of things, they would not occupy the position they do with regard to the three platforms. The Star Route trial has at last come to an end, and the countryis not disappointed at the result, as it was a farce from the beginning. M iner and Reredell were convicted. They were subordinates, simply tools of Dorsey, Brady and the gang generally. How a jury could have convicted the one without the other is difficult to conceive. Dorsey was the head of the Republican party—secretary of the national organization. Part of his “soap" for the Hanoock-Garfield campaign was obtained from the Star Routes. The stealings were liberal and his donations to the corruption fund of the party corresponding. The jury was organized to let the guilty escape and furnish a scape-goat or two. The business before them was carefully attended to. The Republican party is a party of principle, and here is a fresh illustration of its principles. Mike McGriff, the present nominee for sheriff on the democratic ticket, did a great amount of lectioneeiing in the allies of Decatur last Thursday, he overtaxed some of their constitutions, as they were prostrate in the allies in the evening.— Journal. The inference of the above is that the Democratic candidate for Sheriff was treatiug his constituents for their votes in the alleys of Decatur. That is about what the Journal meant to say. It was one of those senseless, muddy, dishonorable, untruthful thrusts, that that paper is indulging in in the name of “high and noble purposes”. The Journal tjannot name a single man that McGriff treated to intoxicants on that day, in or out of the “alloys”. The charge stands in the column that Rev. Gleason controls as editor. If he has any regard for truth he will name the man or men treated, or acknowledge the falsity of the charge. As an honorable man he is required to do the oqe or the other. There was but a small audience at the Court House on Saturday night to hear John M. Smith and J. E. Neff.— We made no notes of the speeches, but say in general terms their arraignment of the Republican party, State and National, was complete. In fact, the Republican party is on the defensive this year. Their party pets are ducking, dodging and hedging to get rid of the misdoings heaped upon them. They have for the last twenty years been kept in power by boasting of their war record; but that record cannot cover up their profligacy, extravagance, thievery, and corrupting the ballot box, until flimsy excuses do not satisfy the voters that past promises, long over due, of reform mean any thing. Conscientious men say they have stood them, hoping against hope, as long as they can. The Republican party must give way to the new blood of honesty, and legislation for the benefit of the masses. The Democrat submits some doggerel in imitation of the W. C. T. U. in the Journal. It is said to be a fair imitation—without exaggeration. Os course there is nothing wrong in following the example of Christian ladies. It is well to see ourselves as others see us, however. It is to be hoped the picture lesson will not be lost, and that the hornet has not hurt beyond the ability to enjoy pain. If the argument, logic, reasoning and manner of treating the subject is not justified by the course pursued by the ladies, then the Democrat is wrong—otherwise right. Right or wrong, our unselfish, charitable and Christian spirit is unruffled, as will be seen by the prayer etched out for them. It is not copyrighted, consequently they are at liberty to adopt it as part of their ritual, as it is already in a pure spirit of harmony with their writings.

What is that, father? A Christian temperance woman, pct, She is a saint in her estimation, And runs the T. column in the Journal. She used to prate and moralize, But now is a bad Republican in disguise. What has she in her hand, fathar.' That in her hand, my dear, Is a large wooden tongs. She is hunting fallen women, Looking for drunken men. To pull them out of the gutter. She shudders with horror, And is fearful of contamination. Morals will not save them; The gospel will not save them. She will convert them with law. She will make us legal Christians. Her salvation is the new plan— Christ and His ministers are no good. She will save us—save us all— With constable, sheriff and marshal ! We thank thee, 0 Lord I There are some people Who are a holy terror ; They are an awful example Os sinful waywardness; Os drunkenness and sensuality. They wallow in the gutter; They trouble us exceedingly; We have wrestled with them, But they are nc good; Black sheep every one. They are a horror to us, They are a terror to us; We shrink from them, They are so utterly vile. We dare not touch them, Only with our wooden tongs — With that we can raise them Clear out of the gutter; But not with the tips Os our dainty, delicate fingers; We would get contaminated. But it is no good To lift them out; They are bad utterly. The blood of Christ Cannot cleanse them. For which we are sorry; But we must, 0 Lord, Acknowledge it a failure, For the mighty tide Is going down to hell In a company innumerable. But we have a plan That beats yours, 0 Lord, With rev’rence be it said. We are going to Substitute the law For the gospel. They shall be, Without any doubt. Legal Christians. Wait, 0 Lord, And you shall see Our legal salvation. We will enforce it, With constable and sheriff. They shall, then; Be as good as us — Some of 'em better. All shall be saved, Willy nilly.
