The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-11-25
Yours truly,
S. d. SIIOTWELL.

i
after couple Of weeks rest you hav
again resumed the ''practice of tn
iock-step." Your article is lichl,
characteristic-just the way RAscA
always talks when caught in his trick
and exposed as You have been and ar
TO the gaze, contempt and ridicule o
honest people. You seem exceedia 81,
anxious to make the public believe yo,
have always been Bingham's "opEN'
friend. I will try to help you along
little on this point as you appear t,
succeed poorly. I never said you die
not so PROFESS; but that "you were
and are SECRETLY his enemy" and S,
say yet. Why with all your effort
you are not able to conceal your hos
tility. What mean such snarly, mad
dog kind of expressions as the follow
ing in your paper Of Nov. 4, 1863
we are no MAN WoRsHIpPER or MAN
rEARER; and we CLAIM the right to
speak apprsvinsly or dis approvingly
of Mr.. Bingham as of other men and
we INTEND to exercise itso long as we
live" And in your present article
''if he (Bingham) is not satisfied with
what The press (Cadiz Republican you
mean as thisis the u y press in tn.
District, of the old 21st Congressiona
District did for him Hs is certainly
vRET HARD TO PLEASE, to say the
least of it." Such expressions do
not come from friendly heart, but
from one boiling over with hatred and
ill-will. You say his election 3 years
ago was before your difficulty with the
Agricultural Society. Well, who said
twas NOT? But your exertions to de-
fest him a year ago were afterwards.
Now let us see how you did it. The
true friends of Bingham in the 10th
District felt that it was to say the least
DOUBTFUL ONE and that it would be
necessary to bring to his support every
union vote both Republican and Dem
oeratic. This you knew-so talked
and professed to believe. Now in the
face Of these facts in your paper of
the 10Th July, 1862, you undertake to
define what you call "Our position"
in which after giving us unconditional
Union men a few slaps you say-"The
question at issue between the Repub-
licans Of Harrison county and few
gentlemen in Cadiz is, whether the
Republican organization shall be ig-
norel in the approaching contest in
this county. We claim that the ex-
istence of a Republican party should
be recognized in the call for County
Convention, and that our party Or
ganization should be MAINTAINED by
putting in nomination a REPUBLICAN
county ticket 4 that we
should continue to keep up our organ
ization is almost the universal opinion
Of the Republicans of the county"
* = "We are willing to, act in
concert with the State Union organi-
cation, FOR THE TIME BEING; and we
expect to support the Union State
ticket which may be put in nomination
on the 21st Of August, because it is
the BEST WE CAN Do UNDER TnE CIR
But there is no reason
why the REPUBLICAN, party should be
abandoned in Harrison county; and
we TRUST that Republicans will per-
nit NO SUCH thing to take place.
let Republicans from every town
ship, be sent up as delegates to the
county convention, and let us make q
ticket composed EXCLUSIVELY of Re
pablicans. We want no MoNGREL
ticket in Harrion County. We have
men in OUR OWN party, competent to
ili ALL the Offices in our gift; and we
IAN give a STRAIGHT Republican tick
st morc votes in this county, than can
be given to MoNaREL ticket. Moth
ing therefore is to be gained in the
way Of votes by abandoning the BE-
publication organization.
"Bslievisg'that the Republican par
y is NEARER RIaHr.than any oTHEE
political organization in this county,
no shall labor to maintain it, notwith-
the, sNEERs of the would-be
eaders Of . new party here or ELSE
VHsRr; and ja doing 50 we believe we
re carrying out the wishes Of nineteen
wentieths Of the Republicans Of this
ounty." Such was your dick Hat
ions) position and in il you were sup i
erted BY few broken down, rotten
