Democratic Sentinel, Volume 11, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 October 1887 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

New York and Ohio will vote two w'eeks from next Tuesday. Gov. Gordon, of Georgia says that President Cleveland is the “man an of destiny, without a Waterloo in pastor futme.” We fullv agree with the sentiments of the Kemington Ne vs concerning the shooting f Steele, as copied by the Republican this Vv'eek. Thirty thousand bushels of corn weie used in the construction of the great palace at Sioux City, lowa, the sane being one of the prominent features of the com tournament there. .. ■ - -■ . ■ We suggest that oil” neighbor that he give his authority for the declaration that the venerable c widow of President Polk * * was a rank secessiouis. ” The fact that a republican congress voted her a pension would seem to give the statement the lie. In his Atlanta speech Mr Randall made the following allu sion to the administration of affairs by Mr. Cleveland: “He said that on liis former visit he w?s here i >*■ the purpose of joining with the people of Georgia in celebrating the election once again of a Democratic President. The people of the whole country since that time had found that the interests of all sections were safe while guided by a Democratic Executive, and that tributes of praise must come from all sections and all parties to the :aithful, fearless and spotless Administration of Grover Cleveland.” When the attempt was made a few w r eeks ago to work up a public sentiment in favor of assassination, in this place,” etc.—Republican. The above charge against citizens of this community is outrageous. So far as we know the most that has been asked has been a fair, unprejudiced trial. We have perfect confidence in the ability and disposition to be fair, of R. W. Marshall, Prosecutor, and have no doubt but that he will do his whole duty in the premises. The obtrusiveness of our neighbor is in bad taste and uncalled for.— We suggest that he permit the Court to try the case without his interference.

Our neighbor pretends to entertain sentiments of contempt for Piesident Cleveland, and yet his soul is bursting in anguish over the failure of the President to laud Morton, Logan, and other representatives of radical s -ctionallsm. Brother Marshal, should remember that the pretentious claim of loyalty to the Constitution and the Union they now set up for themselves, is given no consideration or credit by those versed in the history of the republican party f"om its organization to the present time. Loyalty to the pa cty and its administrations is all you can claim. It is remembered that your leaders and your conventions declared that tiiey wo’d have no more union with slaveholders; denounced The Union as in league with hell; and the Constitution a covenant with death. Declared Under certain contingencies, a willingness to let the Union slide. These are but a few of the articles of your U.ilh. ’There the

‘claim of true loyalty comes in you will fail to discover. <*■ The case of the State vs. Hannah Rutherford is expected 10 be tried next Monday. The articles in this week’s Repub dean, designed to create public sentiment against her, are, we think, unwise and injudicious. Mrs R. only asks a fair trial by an unbiased jury. She is desirous of a speedy trial, and a trial at this place. These rights every fair-minded citizen will be willing to concede to her. The Republican this week deprecates the costs tliai have been “saddled” on the county by the White Circuit Court in a case taken from the Court here to that Court by change of venue. If the Republican succeeds in working up a sentiment against Mrs. R. so as to compel a change of venue in her case, and costs against the county to the amount of one thousand or two thousand dollars are thereby incurred, the tax-payers may properly lay tl e blame to that paper.
