Rensselaer Union, Volume 2, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1870 — Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White. [ARTICLE]

Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White.

“We know' of no man man in the district who is Mr. Wolcott’s superior in point of ability. * * * The public sentiment of White county seems to he emphatically in favor of Wolcott.” —Munticello Herald. * * * “Mr. Wolcott is a strong man, of much experience, and not inferior in point of talents to any other statesman in the district, — Blr. W. would take rank at once with the abler members of the House of Representatives, if elected. Much ill-founded prejudice has been attempted to be excited against Blr. W. by rivals , whose real objection to the man is his greater ability.” —Michigan City Enterprise. “11l this congressional district where the democracy have very little to expect, it is natural for the voters of that party who desire to have the district creditably represented in Congress, to feel some interest in the nominations of the opposite party. if * if * * *

“The Hon. Anson Wolcott, whoso name has been mentioned in connection with the office of Congressman, is by far the most competent gentlemen whose name will be before the Republican convention.— Prepossessing in appearance—unassuming and polished in his manners—possessing that rare quality, common sense, he will make an officer of whom the voters of the 11th District will have no reason to he ashamed.”— Kentland Democrat.

The attention of croakers and grumblers against the Republican party and the Administration, is respectfully called to the fact that the reduction of the public debt for tbo month of April was $11,697,700. This is a record worthy of and noble party, and should silence the slanders that are constantly being uttered by fault-finders, soreheads and Copperheads. Let well enough alone.— lnd.

A railroad from Rensselaer here, and from here to Michigan City, or from Lowell to Bfichigan City, passing through here, would, either of them, be of incalculable value to our county. Directcortimunication with the lake on the North, and the Ohio River on the South, would add five cents to the value of every bushel of grain raised in the county. Valparaiso Vidette.
