Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 November 1882 — They should not forget. [ARTICLE]

They should not forget.

To those republicans who contemplate voting for Mr. Fred Hoover, the oemocratic candidate for state senator, simply because they like to oblige an agreeably mannered man, and a pleasant neighbor, we take the liberty of suggesting in a few points wich we believe they should not forget. Taey should not forget— to read the article in this weeks Republican copied from the Indianapolis Journal, and headed “The struggle for the state senate.” They should not fotget —that this strongly' republican district has been misrepresented by a democrat for the last eight years and it is quite time for a change. They should not forget that the senators elected this year will take part in electing a United States senator to succeed the great demagogue and blatherskite, Voorhees. They should not forget —that although Mr. Hoover has made many verbal promises to vote for the submission of the amendments if elected, lie has studiously refrained from putting any such promises in writing. They should not forget that it will | be perfectly easy for Mr. Hoover to observe the letter and yet violate the spirit of a promise to vote for | submission. The republicans, and ■ all other true friends of honest submission demand submission at a special election. A resolution submitting at a general election (which by no possibility can ever pass the legislature) might be voted for by Mr. Hoover and his promises be thus fulHilled while his dupes are ere left disconsolate. Lastly, they should not for one instant forget that, the true patriot will allow considerations of duty to country and feilowmen, rather tiian Do » ' .•> n pleas- * * c‘iar.

The Democratic party as a party is indefensible and hence the cry “Let the principles go to the dogs &pd chose as to men.” Men are uncertain but principles never change. ' It is the old struggle of good againstevil; the old Battle of Armageddon, ever renewed and never ended. The Republican party against the Liquor League. Right against wrong. Truth versus falsehood. Progress opposed to reaction. An open honorable patrotic canvass wirh appeals to the minds and hearts of men upon the one side, upon the other the elan* der, the briber)’, the delusive prom* ises and all the dark and devious ways of the “still-hunt” policy. James F. Irwin, Republican candidate for county clerk has been a resident of Jasper county about twenty years. He is a farmer, popular with bis neighbors who have elected him township trustee time and again. He has never betrayed a trust and to-day stands the peer of any man in the county. Let every body vote for him. Come to the meetihg at Exchange Hall Remington Ind November 6 1882 at 7 p. m. and persuade your doubting neighbor \o come. Mr. S. P. Thompson will preside and a free conference of voters will be had. No offensive personalties will be permitted. Come and let us reason of the things which make for our County, State and National welfare on the eve of our biennial election.

Die Prohibition Fmge ist nicht diejenige um welehe es sich im gegenwgertigen Wahlkarapf handelt. Es ist der Ausvveg der einen Partei und niebt der Andern. Die Demokratische Partei stellt sich feindlich und die Repnblikanische Partei hat sicb nicht dafuer entsebieden. Die Frage von alien iSeiten und von moralischem Standpunkt schauend, sollte Jedermann suer sich selbst entscheiden. Wenn schon, ein Repnblikaner, so kann sich doeh Jeder suer, oder gegen Prohibition ausspreehen. Ganz getvige ist es, dass mehr denn die llaelfte der Republikaner sich gegen Prohibition straeuben und werden auch dagegen abstimmen, wen die Frage Jirekt vor das Volk gebracht wird. Letzteres wird dieses Jahr nicht geschehen, auch wird es nicht moeglicli sein darueber zu entscheiden. Sie wird durch die naec.hste Legislatur deni Volke zur Abstimmung vorgelegt werden, denn die naechste Legislatur wird es dem Volke zur AbstiDinning uebergeben. Die naechste Legislatur wird zuerst entscheiden, ob die IStimme des Volkes sich soil hoerbar machen. Die Gegner von Prohibition sollen sich durchaus nicht dem Irrtlium hingeben, dass diesselbe bei der koiniiiei!'!' u Wahlstimmung ans dem VY ego g werden I kann; denn letzteres ist ganz unmoeglich. Durch die M»jitat, in der naechsten Legislatur, worin sich wehrere iJemokraten befinden, wird die Frage ganz gewiss dem Volke uebergeben werden. Nicht weniger als 150,000 Republikaner welehe sich gegen Prohibition ausspreehen, werden auch degegen abstimmen; aber dieses Jahr werden sie Alle beguenstigen, dass die Frage deni Volke ueberlassen werde. Nur auf diese Weise wird es je zu einer bestimrnten. Entseheidung kommeu.

Turn out, every republican and be at the polls early on election The men of the still hnnt policy are working all kinds of dirt and baseness to accomplish their purpose. Take for instance the story which is being circulated, some say even by the democratic candidate foi sheriff himself, to the effect that Mr. Rowell is responsible for the escape of the two reunion pick-pockets, Buxton and Roberts. A baseß lie Was never uttered. The prisoners escaped the first time, from the custody of the deputy sheriff. Had our jail been completed, or had the sheriff been able to obtain an order from the court transferring them to White county jail, as he endeavored to do, they could not have escaped that time. As it wag Mr. Powell by the most energetic measures, and at an expense, from his own pocket of $l3O succeeded in recapturing and lodging them in White county jail. There his responsibility ended, and he is no more responsible for their second escape than is John W. Duvall himself, And John W. Duvall knows that he is not,
