Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 February 1900 — Says Marshall Lied. [ARTICLE]

Says Marshall Lied.

The editor of the Rensselaer Republican goes into ecstacies upon the alleged discovery that the total county tax of Pulaski is 77 cents on the hundred dollars valuation, while Jasper county’s rate is only 45| cents per §IOO. Then the Republican bubbles over in the fullness of its joy with the false statement that “Pulaski county is the most strictly reliable democratic county in this part of Indiana.” Now that's where the Jasper county republican misfit made another mistake. Pulaski county hasn’t been reliably democratic for several years, we are sorry to say, and since the sovereigns in the exercise of their own free will for some time past have been electing a part of the republican county ticket, the taxes have goute up way beyond the figures of good old honest democratic times. The Republican having lied in one instance by saying that Pulaski county is “the most strictly reliable democratic county in this portion of Indiana,” the proposition is quite likely true, that it has lied in its statement of the rate of county taxation in the counties of Jasper and Pulaski.— Winamac Democrat-Journal.
