HOW DEMOCRATS LOVE THE GERMANS.

,/ ; : And What Treasurer Hoover Thinks Ought to be Done With Them Our German and Hollander citizens are requested to read the following letter before they make up their minds to vote for the democratic candidate for county Treasurer. There is no question about the genuineness of the letter. The occasion of its being written was certain complaints made by the auditor of Lake county over the largeness of the costs in the case of Kopelka vs Kvtpelkay tried in this county by change of venue from Lake county. The letter is written on the of-ficii-i letter paper of the county treasurer, and was mailed in one of his olheial envelopes. The foL lowing is the letter: Office Of Treasurer of Jasper Co Rensselaer, Ind., Nov. 19, 1885. Horace Marble, Esq., Auditor, Crown Point, Ind : Dear Sir: Yours of 14tli Inst., with Draft for $320.15 (part cost in cases of Kopelka vs. Kopelka) at hand, for which accept thanks, But 1 must.remind you that there is yet due from Lake Co. to Jasper Co- 35c. which I trust you will forward at once. Your mo-ion to retax _costs_is overruled. As to annexation, wo would not oppose the measure if we could get your “d—d old” county seat moved to God’s “Garden spot of the world” WJ SW-15 and’NW ] 21-32-6 now in the name of Horace Marble. But to be compelled to go to Crown Point we never would consent, Yoa ask for advise.,,iri your great affliction, I would suggest, If your German citizens are so much trouble, Hang the d—d Dutch the same as is done in other civilized counties. “Keep cool,” Kopelka vs, Kopelka is not yet end ed. A motion for a new trial is now pending and will be settled at Jany. term of Court, 1886. Yours truly, p William M. Hoover. Remember the gerrymander when you come to the polls next Tuesday.

The State debt has been increased by the Democratic administration $L160,000.00. Twenty-two hundred votes in Brown county ar« to have more power in the state senate than G,200 in Grant That’s Democracy for you. riUUn.' ' ‘ In eight months Mr. Cleveland vetoed over a hundred bills giving small pittance of pensions to old soldiers, and yet the Indiana Democracy in convention assembled indorsed the administration. Thus they endorse these vetoes. The chairman of the Marion--'county Democratic committee, Simeon Coy, is a saloon keeper, and last Sunday his saloon was open all day, in defiance of law. This incident illustrates the elements which control the_Democratic party in-the large cities. Hon. Isaac Dunn, the Republican candidate for Representative will be re-elected with scarcely no opposition. He has been an able and popular representative and his constituents are well pleased with his work in the State assembly.— Kentland Gazette. A man who is any Republican at all, ought to be one this year, of all others, and to deposit a clean ticket where it will do the most good towards rebuking the infamous Democratic gerrymander, which disfranchises more than one ; third of the voters of the state. The spoils management of State Institutions that abuses lunatics, and feeds them on diseased meat, ’ rotten butter and sour bread, and skins the bodies of dead prisoners to secure material for fancy canes, must go. It is inhuman, and the great heart of the people will revolt against it. What a gushing love the Democrats have for the soldier in the Senatorial contest. Tears stream ' down their war-time Democratic faces. Is it not the same old heart-breaking, soul-aching sympathy they felt when organizing the Knights of the Golden Circle for the purpose of betraying the soldiers into the hands of the enemy?— -Fowler Era.
