Es-The editor of the Republican seems
to have given an item we wrote week be-
fore last, about the prospects Of the Dem
ocracy of Marshall County, more impor-
lance than we supposed he would. He
knows that as soon as the people become
convinced that seven-eighths of all the
eleclioneerng stories told through his pa
per and by republican orators .and candi-
dates. during the campaign of last fall,
were falsehoods and Misrepresentation
his party will be effectually laid on the
shelf. The cry of 'retrenchment and re-
form will avail them nothing another time
The Republican Corporation Board have
tried 'retren, hment and reform one year,
ard the result is, that there have been no
reforms introduced, and the expenses are
more than they were under Democratic
management. Since the election in this
township, Mattingiy says the Republicans
made no effort to rally their forces. That
reminds us of what the boy said when he
got beat in the foot race: ooh, wasn't
racin'!'
