Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 November 1888 — Total Vote in Jasper County. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

Total Vote in Jasper County.

Monopoly triumphant. Free whisky seems preferred. Cheap necessaries undesirable, -• ■■ >♦ . Continued tribute to the Carnegie s is the verdict. James’ uncal ed for strictures on Rensselaer G. A. B. Post lost the Democracy several votes. James’ banter to Republicans to vote for us was in bad taste, uncalled for and insincere. We commenced our editorial career in 1856 and therefore have continuously spposed that party from the date of its organization to his. Republicans owe us no oolitical favors, and oui manhood precludes us from seeking them. ——♦ <- Marion county,Harrison’s home> which gave Blaine 228 plurality four years ago, g. iV e Cleveland 378 on Tuesday last. The workingmen were paying off their old scores. T It is now Judge"A. W. Reynolds, of Monticello. Congratulations, old friend. The White county Damocracy come out of the contest with an increased majority. Newton county shows a republican gain of but 9. ■ «•» « ■ Jasper county shows a republican gain of over 200. “Blocks of five,” purchased with boodle, as directed by Dudley’s letter, may have contributed much in that direction. It will require observation and investigation to disclose the cause. Lee E. Glazebrook, chairman of committee; D. W. Shields, John R} an, Austin N. Lakin, committee on organization of Hendricks ,Leagues, worked faithfully thro’out the entire canvass, and deserved a better showing as a result of their labors. It is no fault of theirs that that better success did not crown their efforts. The following little episode was recently rel ted to us: A few days since a Rensselaer gentleman met John W. Sickels, late presumed editor of the Rensselaer Democrat! in a Chicage hote., wh n the following interview occurred between Sickels and a city acquaintance: Acquaintance—“ Hello, Bickels; 1 have not seen you all summer.— Where have you been? Sickels- “I’ve been at Rensselaer, editing a paper.” Acquaintance—“ Republican ?” Sickels—“No; Democrat!” Acquaintance—“Wnat!—Got to be a Democrat!” Sickels— “Not by a d—n sight! 1 was working for the boodle.”— And, turning to the Rensselaer gentleman, added: “Don’t give me away, down there.” Is it any wonder that we have been “ Waterloo-d” in Jasper county? Had the money unwisely expended on Sickels and J imes been applied to the use of candidates in a personal canvass, legitimately employed, we have to doubt a .vastly different showing would have resulted. Democrats! We will pick our Hints, and try it again. “Equal and exact justice to all men.”—“The greatest good of the gieatest number.”—Foundation principles of the Democratic faith. These will survive, and four years from. now the People will gladly turn from Harrisonian favoritism

of monopolies, and accept principles in accord with interests of the masses. Harrison has carried the State by a small majority. Ten congressman and the Legislature claimed by the Democracy. —» I Democi atic principles are correct, and the Democratic party never dies. As in the past, the Democratic Sentinel will in the future do battle for Democratic men and measures, despite the efforts of obstructionists within its own ranks and radicalism combined . Indianapolis Sentinel: By the way, that offer of SI,OOO reward to William . Dudley, whom his evening organ in this city styles “an honest and much maligned man,” is still open. All that William W. Dudley has to do to get the SI,OOO is to come co Indianapolis and swear that the letter giving directions how to purchase voters and march them up to the polls in “blocks of five” was a forgery. The offer was made in gooo faith, and the fact that the campaign is over need not prevent Mr. Dudley from taking advantage of it.
