Rensselaer Union, Volume 11, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 February 1879 — Senator Winterbotham. [ARTICLE]

Senator Winterbotham.

Correspondent of Laporte Chronicle. “Leaf by leaf the roses fall.” Woe is unto us! Michigan City mpurneth and the cry oi her hard money men is heard afar in the land. We are pained to tho heart and confusion covereth us. The mighty man among us has fallen, deserted the teachings of ‘‘Jackson,Benton and Wright,” declared for the “tall sycamore” of the Wabash and our glory has departed. As a fountain casleth forth her waters, so has our senator scattered trade and gold dollars among ns as a token of the faith that was in him, bitt tdas! lie has turned into a degenerate plant, a strange vine, and gone gadding witli tKe “fiat fools” after Dan. Voorhees and the “rag baby.” Thy voice was the voice of an honest money prophet, but thy vote was a vote for a soft money “idiot.” A coward to his convictions, he swallowed the inflation pill, and the matinee in bis abdominal regions will begiu about 1880. The hero of our sand bills has perished, and “no sound can awake him to glory again.’?
