Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1880 — A Card. [ARTICLE]

A Card.

i Editor Republican. To stop false reports that are in circulation, I will Ray that at the approaching election 1 will vote a straight republican ticket I bsve done at every election since 1856 with one exception one township ticket. Do not infer from the above that lam a blind partisan, held by party name and prejudice to the endorsement of every thing by the republicans, lam and have been a republican as a matter of duty to God and Country and wnile this conviction remains with me 1 will remain a republican, the treatment received by me at the bands of men c«6r never drive me from what I believe to be correct prindpies, I say to my personal friends do not allow your sympathy for me to influence yon to tho least bat work and vote just as you would have done had we been successful. Better one member suffer than the

body perish.
