Counting up the Germans.


Last Friday night the Democrats OF Evans
vile undertook to establish Pierce and
King German Club N Lamlsco Perhlps
there never was a time in the history of this
city when the foreign vote was so much
courted by the Democratic party as at this
time. The reason is obvious-.he leaders of
the Democratic party in Vanderburgh county
are all o6ice-scekers. They appeal to Germans
for their votes, when they would never make
the appeal half SO strongly if they were only
laboring for their friends. But to their meet
ing, which aptly illustrates this fact, and we
are now going to talk out right plainly and
give names in full. We amt used to this
sneaking game of giving initials, and con-
cesling names, especially when every Demo-
crat who considers himself, whatever his
neighbors think, a very proper man for par
ticnlar Office, sets about trying to deceive
Germans and other foreigners into believing
that the Wing party from Gen. Scott down
isopposed to foreigners, and the Democratic
party, and he especially, is their particular
friend.
The meeting in Lamasco was addressed by
several gentlemen from Evansville, who felt
themselves especially called upon to attend to
the moulding ofthe opinions of their German
friends-gentlemen, who wishing off ce them
selves, were exceedingly DESTROYS of starting
Club in Lamasco, and by getting the Ger
mans to support Insecure their votes for them
selves.
Ben. Stinson, Esq, the present Clerk OF
Court by appointment of Judge Hovey, was
present and ready by any action to prove
himselfa much better Democrat than he was
three or four years ago. Ben. wants to be
elected Clerk of Court next election, and set.
out with the strict determination of shaking
hands with everybody, attending all club
meetings, and making general party gas
ometor of himself till the day of trial comes
on. He excused himself for not making 9
speech at this meeting son the ground" thu
his competitors for the office were not son
= the ground" and they might think he was tax.
ing undue advantage of their absence. The
meeting joyfully excused him.
Mr.. Cyrus K. Drew, Senior, also had the
happiness to be present and meet his Ger
man friends, and drop tear with them ant
exchange an embrace. Mr.. Drew is can.
ddate in prospect for the Legislature III,
has an uncomfortable disposition to repre-
sent Vanderburgh county and all its inter
ests in the Indiana Legislature. He appear
perfectly satisfied that he can do it bette
than anybody else, and is very desrous>tha
even Wings should perfectly agree with hin
in this. While he would glory in Democrat
ic votes, Wing votes would be peculiarly nc
ceptable. If Mr.. ID. has sufficient leisure t,
put his arm around every man in the count
and shed half pint of tears on every patio
as it was acknowledgement beat him
We have not been supplied with any repor
of his speech OH this occasion, and our read
ers are doubtless glad of it, for to tell tn
truth, whenever he steps into politics he be
comes political bore. Privately, he is clever
