Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1884 — “Gallant Colonel Gray.” [ARTICLE]

“Gallant Colonel Gray.”

A few short months ago I. P. -Gray was spoken of as the “Gallant Colonel Gray.” Why is 11*9 not spoken of so favorably now? The reason is plain. There are other men in the Democratic party in Indiana who are much more entitled to political honors than Gray, and the thinking class have decided that he has been sufficiently rewarded for bringing to the party one vote. For this reason his war record has been examined and found to consist of a brilliant five months’ campaign within sight of Madison, this state, with the exception of the tirfie occupied in destroying a Democratic printing office belonging to old man Cropsy, just across the Ohio River. This is why the “gallant” has been dropped from his name--—[Port-land Herald (Dem.).
