Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 October 1900 — SHARON. [ARTICLE]

SHARON.

Jake Hazen of Jordan tp., was a caller here Wednesday. Louis Hamilton was visiting theschoqls around here last Tuesday. John Zimmer was at Wheatfield, Monday and purchased a load of potatoes. Quite a number from here will go to Rensselaer to night tohear Capt. Guthrie. Several from these parts attended the sneaking at Egypt last night by Hou, E. P. Honan, Mr. Lee E. Glazebrook of North Marian, and M. Y. Slaughter spoke to a large audience at Slaughter schoolhouse Thursday evening. M r. Gleiti the German orator of Logansport, spoke to the people here last Monday night on the issues of the campaign, and was greeted with a full house. Frank Foltz of Rensselaer, spoke at Slaughter schoolhouse Saturday night from a republican standpoint to a slim

audience. Mr. Foltz prayed for nearly two hours,,for democratic sympathy but with no effect. Aside from a historical lecture of. the by-gone ages he seldom touched, on the issues before us.. Unlike Mark Himna, he said that trusts, were a good thing; toldi us of oil being found in Jasper, counsy; of having a civil war to free f’oCMOo slaves—but< no* one word about the 10,000,000 we recently purchased;, denied the right to- coin silver at 16 to i„ —but did not tell us that was what the administration was doing, Oh, no;, Declared there was no imperialism did not know Uncle Sat* furnished the arms to help whip Spain that they might gam the freedom prom- I , ised them, nor one word about slavery j | aud polygamy existing under our flag, oh ' ; no. We understand Mr. Foltz has chal- ‘ lenged the democratic candidate fox governor for a series of debates. Fie need not go out of Jasper county as be c m meet his Waterloo right here at home. \Ve knew his argument wrs thin, but when we heard one of the opposite partv say if he ever time again he would receive a frost, il made us think, that it might be the truth.
