Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1859 — Captain cook a Democrat. [ARTICLE]

Captain cook a Democrat.

While t’ ose having Captain Cook in charge after his arrest, were-waiting-at Hagerstown, Maryland, for ti carriage to take them to Charleston, as we learn Irom the Baltimore Clipper, Messrs. George Fieaner and Win. Motler, two Locofoco candidates on the county ticket, approached him and engaged in conversation in reference to any political question involved in the insurrection at Harper’s Ferry. The Captain declared that politics had nothing to do with the matter. The. genl lemen interrogated him further as to his own politics, when, to their great surpris the Captain told them that he had not voted for many years, but that in politics he was a Democrat. No further inquiries about politics were made by thoke candidates. What will the sham Democracy say to that? The Republicans responsible, are they! Don’tyou feel that you have been acting rather mean in attempting to make you readers believe such stull! Get into the first auger-hole you can find tind hide yourselves.— Ind. Atlas.
