Rensselaer Union, Volume 8, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 August 1876 — Discovery of a Long Lost Brother. [ARTICLE]

Discovery of a Long Lost Brother.

The Rensselaer Union, formerly a red hot republican paper but for two years independent, has come out for the republican ticket. The republicans are in a mujority down there and have the most money. Packard,has a libel suit for ten thousand dollars pending against The Union and there is a suspicion abroad that a withdrawal of this little matter will be one of the considerations in payment for the change. Bro. James supported Dr. Haymond two years ago, but ho has a strawberry mark and when Major Calkins fell on his neck he discovered a long lost republican brother. The tears of joy over the discovery made the swamps of Jasper county resemble salt marshes. The independents now have no organ in this congressional district. —Laportc Argus[Dcm.)
