Rensselaer Union, Volume 2, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1870 — Hon. Anson Wolcott. [ARTICLE]

Hon. Anson Wolcott.

* * “The republican voters of this county, with perhaps a very few exceptions, are very decidedly in favor of the re-nomination of Gen. Packard, and will work for that end as long as there is the least prpspect of its. accomplishment.— If they become convinced that Packard cannot get the nomination, then wc believe their next choice will be Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White county. Perhaps the vote would be divided between Wolcott pud Cathcart first, but finally, wc think, it would be given a unit for Wolcott.”— Crown Point Register. • “Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White comity, was in town yesterday, and honored us with a call. Mr. W 7 is one of the most able statesmen in Indiana, ami his services in the interest of the State have been many and valuable. He has canvassed the district faithfully, is strong in the southern portion of the district, and will probably carry the entire strength of his senatorial district.” —Michigan City Enterprise. “We had a pleasant call from Anson Wolcott, and are sorry to say we cannot support him for congress. He is a companionable man and knows how to use his friends well.”— Valparaiso Vidette.
