Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 February 1860 — DAVID TURPIE. [ARTICLE]

DAVID TURPIE.

We learn from the last Monticello Spectator that the above-named individual, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant-Govern-or, was caught one on a drunken spree with some boys in Monticello. He had gathered some hoys not ye- twenty-on \ hut who will have votes next fall, and was having a “high old time” with them, until Mr. Tilton, in whose building he was, broke in the door and drove them out. Some were playing cards, all were drunk, arid, the would-be Lieutenant-Governor was ingon a bed in the back end of the room, maudlin drunk. If one-half of this is true, (and we do not believe the editor of the SpesfUor would grossly libel a fellow-citizen,) David Turpie ought to be politically buried so deep that the sound of the last trumpet will net reach him.
