Rensselaer Republican, Volume 12, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1880 — To Greenbackers. [ARTICLE]

To Greenbackers.

The National view is a newspaper published at Washington, D. C. in the interest of the National party, in fact is the National National organ and as such sends forth in struwtiona to the party throughout the United States. The following are the instructions issued to this state: “Greenbackers of Indiana, you fight against heavy odds; all together, and let every speech as well as every vote, tell itb story of achievement! Let no sophistry lead you to negotiate, with either flank of the enemy, ana let no specious promises blind you to their aims. They are at work against yon, and with their quarrel over spoils you have nothing to do. Do not barter a candidate or trade a vote.” Thus do the View's instructions coincide with our •advi.je given in these columns two weeks ago to the adherents of the National ticket.

Again this Greenback organ says to Indiana voters, “any victory gained by .affiliation ♦ * * would be more certain peril to our future existence than the most disasteroils defeat sustained singly could possibly be. What have the hopes held out by Democrats ever brought to us but disaster? They have be' trsyed Gteenbackfers once; and again they have talked soft money and voted bard money; whenever Gieenbackers have trusted to their professions they have been used as a lever to hoist tLe Democrats alone into office. Let us have no more of it. Should we be found in a I opeless minority let it still be a protesting minority. If wo can. not win on our own merits, let th* victory go where it will, but let the straight fight be ours. Fusion can not add to our uunberv; it wil’ weaken our issues and destroy their effect. We are fighting for a principle, * * it is still our duty to vote as that principle indicates. * * * Let your slogan be, no coali lion.” These are all trne sentiments and statements. It would be beat for the “Orator,” “Dictator,” “Ring Master” and “Boss” to ponder wel these words, taken verbatuin from their ownjorgan, before casting their votes for Douthit, S\ elsh and Nick els. If Greenbackers can gain tliei object* by voting the Democrats ticket then, there is no need for the existance of the National party The Greenbackers of Jordan and Carpenter townships are, the only ones thus far to show to the world that they are such from principle and not merely from lust for spoils of office. Er iron Republican: In reply to the card of Hon. George Kessler In' your paper of August 20th, 1880, I give the record of the Commissioners court of Jasper county Indiana. A Card Fron. Mr. Keaalor. ■ ■" —— • Mr. Eorrougha in aq article in thte paper a few weeks ago claimed that I voted to allow him money that had been paid into the county funds and which Mr. B. claims belong* to (be treasurers. Now whether the money did or did not belong to Mr. B. he states an untruth and places my official action in an improper and ungenerous light before the people of Jasper county, whose interests I tried ss well us I knew how to serve. Mr. B. Intimates that I was a Republican and by that wishes to cast the stigma on that party ana make it responsible for the money received by Mr. 8.. I was not a Republican but waa and am now an Independent I write this merely in justice to myself and to show that Mr. B. has falsely repre. sented my official action. The records will show that my vote from first to last was oast against allowing allowing him the money that he claims was refunded to him and others. Globge Kxssljc*. Tlursday, September Cth, 1877.
