More Notoriety for McCoy.

The Chicago Sunday Tribune last Sunday, under the head of “Freaks of the Campaign,” gave a pen picture of our own Mac and his monkeying. After speaking of Jap Miller, of Morgan, “Crankey Crawford,” of Sullivan, and “Foghorn Kelley,” of the twelfth district, it shows up A, McCoy, of Rensselaer, in the following manner:

None of tuese men, however, can compare with Alf McCoy, the Rensselaer hog and cattle buyer who has taken to the slump in the Tenth District to work off some of his superabundant Republican enthusiasm. McCoy has made enough money out of hogs to be the head of a bank at Rensselaer, but he lets the boys run the bank. Recently he hired a “choir,” bought a patent-medicine man’s wagon, and started out to stir up things in Jasper connty. McCoy is said to be one of the most profane men who ever drew breath, and the many stories that have been told on him have made his name a “cuss-word” almost in nretty nearly every county in Tenth District from Lake to Cass, His original way of holding a campaign meeting with his “choir” makes him a greater drawing card than Sam Jones at a religious revival. He will drive into a country town and pull up opposite the public square. The choir will sing until the crowd gathers, and then McCoy will stand up and begin as follows: “Friends, brethren, and fellow’Republicans: You know that under Ben Harrison’s administration times was good, and you know under Grover Cleveland’s administration times is harder than h—. If you don’t want to have to be makin’ soup this winter out of your undershirts you better vote the Republican ticket. The choir will now sing while I collect more thoughts.” After the choir has given the crowd a song McCoy rises and continues: “You know the factories at Hammond are shut down. They hain’t runnin’ at Kokomo, nor Logansport, nor Peru. When the men can’t work they can’t get money to buy meat, and when the people can’t buy meat how in the h— can I buy your hogs, and sheep, and cattle? The choir will sing while I collect more thoughts.” McCoy will go on this way for thirty minutes then drive to the next town. The other day a man in the audience interrupted McCoy and inquired whether he might ask him a question, and McCoy replied: “You can ask all you d—n please, but first tell me, are you a Republican?” “No,” said the man. “Are you a democrat?” “No, I’m not.” “Then what in the h— are you?” “I’m a Populist,” said the stranger. “You’re a d—n fool,” yelled McCoy. “The choir will sing.” A Populist orator in White County challenged McCoy to a joint debate and McCoy couldn’t accept it too quick. He hired a special train, loaded with 300 of his Jasper County friends, got all the bands in the county, and went forth to meet the Populist. The speaking was at a little village, and McCoy’s friends greatly outnumbered the enemy. McCoy spoke first, taking an hour and a half. When it came time for the Populist, McCoy’s friends set up a great shout, and accompanied by their bands marched back to the special train and rode home with another feather in the hat of Mr. McCoy.

The Catholic Fair.

One of the most pleasing and enjoyable events that have taken place in town for some time was the fair given by the members of St. Augustine's church Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The ladies Gs the congregation furnished an excellent line of refreshments in the dinners and suppers served, also in the grocery, ice cream and lemonade stand. The fancy store was well patronized by all. Even if the young ladies in charge did sell chewing gum somewhat high, the beautiful prizes they gave with their goods made the purchaser feel that it wasn't the worst store in town to patronize after all. The post office was a very pleasing feature of the entertainment. The letters received through it brought good cheer to the numerous recipients. The museum in the Gypsy tent was an amusing and novel feature, but for some reason or other, presumably lack of advertising, it did not receive the same recognition by the general public as did the other parts, and which from its own merits it deserved.

The evening entertainments on the stage were also highly appreciated by those who w’ere so fortunate as to be in the hall at the time they were given. Tuesday evening the young ladies gave the “Pets in Society.” Music was furnished by Healy’s orchestra and the College brass band. Wednesday evening the Boebner Columbian guards gave an exhibition drill and elicited much applause by the accuracy and precision with which they executed the commands of their captain, and by the handsome appearance they made in their neat uniforms. The boys of St. Augustine’S congregation then gave the play, “The Secretary,” and acted their parts very w r ell. This was followed by “Hans Van Smash,” a very humorous farce, which greatly pleased the audience and brought out round after round of applause. The young ladies and gentlemen who took part in it are to be congratulated on the able manner in which they presented this play. Miss Nina Hammond then recited that well known and touching piece, “The Son of a King For Me,” which was highly appreciated by the audience. The “Angels of Buenna Vista” was the title of a recitation given by Miss Annie Walters. The piece was well received and showed that Miss Walters possesses good elocutionary talent. The College quartette then sang “Nearer My God to Thee.” The College band furnished excellent music between the different parts of the programme. The most interesting feature of Thursday evening was the contests, most of which were very close. In the cane contest, between Messrs. Newels and Spitler, Mr. Nowels was the recipient of the prize. Miss Agnes Carlinwas the happy winner in the contest for the oil painting, which was an excellent piece of art by Rev. Prof. Trost, the art teacher at St. Joseph’s College. The other contestants, each of whom made good showing, were Miss Lizzie Keiper and Miss Emma Lane. John Eger was the winner in the Eger-Meyer w T atch contest, which was the closest of the evening. Misses Ura McGowen and Maggie Healy competed for a beautiful ring. Both ladies made a good canvass, but Miss Healy won the prize. Undoubtedly the most exciting contest of the evening was that between Mr. Michael Nagle and Mr. James Walters. Both gentlemen made laudable efforts to win, but victory declared in favor of Mr. Walters. When the contests were over the reverend pastor of the St. Augustine’s church brought the fair to a close by a few well chosen remarks, in which he heartily thanked the many

friends who had contributed to the success ®f the fair. The fair was indeed a success in every way. socially and financially. The gross receipts were about t 1,300 and the net proceeds about $l,lOO. For the benefit of those patrons who did not have the opportunity of witnessing all the parts of the three days entertainment, the following programme, embracing its most interesting features, will be rendered at Eger’s opera house, Friday evening, Nov. 9: “Hans Van Smash,” “The Secretary,” “Pets in Society.” Recitations by Miss Annie Walters and Miss Nina Hammond. Music by Healy’s orchestra and College glee club. Drill by the Boehner Columbian guards. This entertainment will be absolutely free. All are cordially invited to attend, but especially those who in any way contributed towards making the fair such a magnificent success.

Henry Brockaway, of DeMotte, having become violently insane, has had to be placed in the county jail to await admission to the asylum at Logansport. Mr. Brockaway and his family have the sympathy of all in their great misfortune. Those free excursions “Mac” has been running are not so free after all, as he is now soliciting contributions from Democrats and Populists to help him out. This is surely a mistake in our old friend. It does not show him up as we have been pleased to represent him. Miss Eliza Tuteur was returning home from a party at T. J. McCoy’s, Wednesday night, she was tripped by a wire the hallowe’en miscreants had stretched across the walk, and her left arm was broken above the elbow. Drs. Washburn and Hartsell were called. We call the attention of our readers to Mr. W. I. McCollough’s letter in this issue. Benton county candidates are surely looking far ahead and are trying to work up some very fine schemes. It should be remembered. that it was Benton’s county treasurer that got that opinion from Judge Wiley declaring the Fee and Salary law unconstitutional. Wednesday night being Hallowe’en, the spirits were out playing havoc with everything movable and immovable. It is well that the 31st day of October comes at least once a year, to give the smart boys about town an opportunity to show off just a little. Fun is fun as long as it is funny, but when it ccmes to destroying property, and obstructing sidewalks with wires to trip the unwary and break their limbs, the funny part all vanishes. It is the duty of the town board to see that the work of Wednesday night is not repeated again in this town. These tricks of the “tads” are really chargeable to the “dads.” Fresh bread every day at ; Lakey & Sayler’s.

Why Those Resolutions.

Possibly all those who read in last week’s papers the Prohibition resolutions recently passed at Goodland are not so well versed in the causes of their adoption as we of Benton county. I have been reliably informed that there adoption was secured through the active efforts of Mr. Moore, chairman of the Prohibition committee of Benton county. And now for an explanation of Mr. M’s supposed motives. To begin with, Mr. Moore’s brother-in-law, Lon Sleeper, is Repuolican candidate for clerk of Benton county and Mr. Moore is giving him a warm brother-in-law’s support. At the Prohibition county convention Mr. Moore opposed naming a county ticket, and in deference to his wishes no candidate for clerk was nominated. He also used arbitrary powers as county chairman to prevent the selection of delegates to the senatorial convention favorable to Mr. Washburn, but in spite of his efforts Mr. Washburn was supported by Benton county’s delegates, as they personally knew Mr. Washburn to be a temperate man and a man of the highest integrity and abilities. But here comes what looks to be the true inwardness of Brother • in - law Moore’s action. In case of Mr. Sleeper election as clerk he would probably at once become an active member of the county officer’s association, and as he and his future associates well know they cannot hope to use Mr. Washburn in the senate to secure the repeal of the present fee and salary law for one of their own making, and as they have reason to believe that his opponent, Mr. Phares, could be of great use to them if elected, he having been a county officer for eight years, (as a Democrat) hence this shrewd move on the part of Brother-in-law Sleeper in bringing to their support Brother-in-law Moore,which has resulted in the recent Resolutions. Now, I do not deny our Prohibition friends the right of free action in this and all other matters, but they ought as well as all other honest voters to be able to see this cunningly devised scheme of as unscrupulous a set of party ringsters as ever preyed upon the helpless taxpayers of any county and every voter should ponder well on these matters before he casts his vote for state senator.

The Rights of the Populists.

Had the men who have been given places of power and influence by Democratic votes lived up to the principles of Jefferson and Jackson, those patron saints of Democracy, there would be no room to-day for a Populist pai ty. The principles of Populism—barring a few extreme ideas on the relation of the state to the people—are the essential principles of Democracy. Had the Democratic party in all places lived' up to the principles in practice as well as in theory, the People’s party, which now manifests such strength in all parts of the country, would have no reason to exist. Yet, if the same energy which has built up the People’s party had been devoted to ousting undemocratic people from control of the Democratic party, the desired reforms would have been more speedily accomplished, for every proper re form advocated by the Populists can be had through the agency of the grand old party of Jefferson and Jackson.—Chicago Times.
