Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-10-04
SheIlabarger Htens.
FROM CLARKE AND MADISON.

He began the campaignby n false and scam
dalous attack on Hon. SAMUEL S. Cox, at
| Jefferson. He is rehearsing all over the
Seventh District in his sing song way,
charges of treason against the Chicago
Convention and its Nominees: yet in 1862,
he pronounced MCCLELLAN a true Patriot
| and a great Soldier. He is welcome to all
he can make by such q course. Mr.. Cox
never alludes to him; but goes straight
along, making an honest and honorable
canvass for the great Statesman
McCLELLAN-an treating the Republicans
as men having perfect right to differ
from him in opinion. Here are the SHELL
LABARGER items:
from The Clarke County Democratl
''THAT MAN."
Shellabarger, in beginning the cam
paign at Jefferson, called Cox by that
grossly opprobrious epthet Of "that man
Coxl" We demand to know what he
means by "that" If he means shat man
Cox" who beat him two years ago, we are
content but if he means something sinister,
let him withdraw 'that'' imputation, or
take the consequences. Take that "that"
that you used back, or that shat" that you
used, will haunt you on the 1lth of Octo-
ber! -HH #u s ID
~ AM happy to meet those of you who
are here, and would have been pleased to
have seen more of YOU present.-Shelly's
Speech at Jefferson. o. ....g... ..........- -
Two points are noticeable in this eXordi-
um: 1st the immensity of the meeting as it
impressed the speaker. I'd, the fact that he

of those who were actually present! In
other words he says: gentlemen, you who
are here l am happy to meet, but if there
were more OF you-larger sized men, more
ponderous paunches, more Brough-like
obesity, with heads swelled bigger, should
have been pleased" Or, perhaps he meant
by seeing more of them, he wished them to
strip Like Prentice about the bloomers,
Shellabarger thought of the crowd, that he
was glad as far as he had seen!
A NECESSARY ORATOR!
Shellabarger not being an adept in vul-
garity Cor indeed in anything), has import
ed in this county to speak against Cox, a
Gen. Geiger, celebrated for his indecent
exhibitions of the English language. He
| has for eight years been increasing COX's
vote and popularity, and he is found ''nec-
essary" in the present crisis. This is not a
military necessity, but necessary" in that
scents which allows the largest license to
| odoriferous rhetoric!
| SHELLABARGER urged that Cox said the
Abolitionists caused the rebellion, when he
used the word 'OccdSiOned." Cox said at
| Cincinnati, that the Republican party, by
| getting power, had ''occasioned civil war"
! that the extremes North and South caus-
| ed the war by their ''mad zealotry." But
the occasion Of the Republicans obtaining
| power, was the preteXt or time of war;
Does not Shelly know the difference be-
tween occasion and cause? On the occasion
of Shelly's defeat two years ago, n negro
baby died at Xenia of quick consumption;
but will any one say Shelly's defeat caused
that baby to die? u,,r' ..tt.........
s'CoMPARED with the circumstances under
which Mr. Lincoln Is now called upon to
act, they were as the soft and meandering
breath of q summer evening In the last OF
August, to the gigantic sweep of an all-de-
Youring tornado" ."--iShelly's Speech at Je1er-
son. -----s1 --.
In the language of j. Pernal Williamson,
we say to Shelly
Speed on thy career!-may no clouds eer arise
To darken thy hacyon symposium Of soul;
Thy minds eiiuescence uncurtains the skies,
Where glories-rovolving- -careerngly-roll
SHELLY, at Jefferson, held that Cox
thought, by voting tor the Crittenden res0-
luton, that the secessionists were the sole
cause of the war. Because he voted part
the truth, did it follow that he did not be-
licve the remainder? Andy johnson said
three years ago that all the Seccssionists
were Abolitionists. Ifso, did not the word
Secessionists include the other extreme
North? If Shelly likes the Crittenden res
olution, why did he, vote to lay it on the
table when Holman moved, in December,
1862, to affirm it? -''',
"ALTHoUGH the meeting is small to-day,
yet it is large enough for the purpose OF
organization" Sheliabarger at Jefferson.
That is, the meetlngwas large enough for
q Chairman, Secretary, Speaker and small
colored person. -
SHELLABARGER spoke in Xenia to one
hundred and fifty colored people. Such
meeting must have been sweeter than the
ottar of roses! =" -','.ti. .1'-
SHELLABARGER goes to Columbus now
and then. He is not personally known; but
when well dressed man Is seen standing
ofla corner, with his hands in his pockets |
and a lackadaisal face, the bets are taken,
two to one, that It is-Shellyl ua2e rmid 10

Heavy as lead and not near so dangerous!
