Democratic Sentinel, Volume 8, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 July 1884 — So Office Chases a Man. [ARTICLE]

So Office Chases a Man.

The Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel, which is a bit er partisan Democratic paper, is using whateve: of influence it has to stir up strife in the Republican party. It tries to create he impression that Judge Waid had no right to be nominated for Judcc and therefore the Republicans liave no right to support him. The game of the Democrat is too transparent. ■ It will not fool any Republicans, and Republicans feel entirely competent to jud e and act for themselves without advice from the Sentinel. The Sentinel alst tries to mane it appear as well as others, that, itt office of Juuge is tunning up and down the circuit crying lustily for Mr. Bannderson, when it. is quite well known that Mr. S. has been as basily seeking the office a* any otner gentleman se ksoffice. We do not blame Mr. Sauderson for this. It is th ■ way offices are secured by men of all parties. He has a right to seek office jast as other men do, but the attempt of the Sentinel to make it ppear that he does not seek the offlet of the Judge is simply ridiculous and futile. Mr. Saundereon wants the position of Judge just the same as Judge Ward wants it and is working ai d has worked for it just as Ward hasThe oil ce has not hi en chasing Mr. Saunderson any more than it chased Judge Ward. The Sen. tin.l'3 talk to the contrary, is the thinnest gruel ever fed to intelligent vot> is. In these dayß no man gets an office without his own personal eftorts to some extent, and '.bis is well known to every voter. The sillv attempt to make it appear that the office of Judge is forcing itself on the Sentinel's candidate is a broad farce and a poor compliment to tue intelligence of the voters. Bah! Th° above, which appears iu the KeDtland Gazette as aa editorial, -,ut was written io Reusselaer, would not do for publication in this locality.— The Sentinel is accused of “using whatever of influence it has to stir up strife in the Republican party.” The writer thereof knows full well that the strife already exists, in r bad form, and that he has the credit of precipitating it. We regret the position in which Judge Ward isnlaced, but those who groomed him are to blame. The Circuit Judgeship is chasing Mr Saunderson, and will cornel him on the bench next November, and don’t you forget it. We UDh derstand strife exhts in Benton, the product of the same machinery thut produced It in this county.
