j. L. WESTER TELT AT TIPPE
CINOETO

This veteran buahyhackcr made aspeech
at Tppecanoetown one day last week, in
which he reiterated his lies about the rel
ative taxes of St. Joseph and Marshall
counties.
With an appearance of honesty and
candor, lie said that if he made any mis-
statements he would correct them as pub
licly as he made them, on being convinced
Of the fact At the conclusion of his re-
marks, NJ. W. Downcy, Esq, our county
treasurer, being present. arose and said
that he thought he could show by docu-
ments in his possession, number Of ma
terial miSstatements made by Mr.. Wester-
welt, ii he could be allowed ten minutes Of
time, or even five minutes. He was
promptly met with the remark by the
meeting and they couldn't hear Mr.. Down
ey"-that Mr. Downey could call his
own meetings and Consequently MT.
Downey was not allowed to expose the
lies that had been knowingly uttered Cor
the purpose of deceiying the people.
Now, we ask the voters of Marshall coun-
ty. Nhat they thiuk Of such course?
The iair-minded republicans who attend
ed the meeting above alluded to, were
unanimous in expressing their disapproval
Of, and contempt for, such an unfair and
cowardly course, and scarcely man but
was convinced that the statements of pre-
tended facts made by Westervelt were un-
true, and would not bear invest cation, aud
that his only escape from conviction on
the spot as wiful falsifier, WAS in the
cowardly and unfair course he adopted!

IL Il DICAL DEMON .STRiTION
L1.NT SATURDAY,

Early last week bills were posted an
nouncing that Prof T.. B. Fairfield, presi-
dent Of the Hilsdale college, one of the
most eloq uent men Of the country, would
address the radicals of Marshall and sur
rounding counties at Plymouth, on Satur-
day, September u. The day was most
propitious; the distinguished orator ar
rived, and large numbers Of country peo-
pie filled our streets. At the appointed
time We sought for the speaker and his
audience. We visited the Seminary
grove, the Courthouse square, the hall
every place where a demonstration would
be likely to be held and although we
saw occasionally one of the faithful on the
street, we could not find the speaker nor
hear anything definite about the speech
we finally gave up IN despair on learning
that the Professor had left the place, on
the LaPorte train, and that, owing to cir
cumstances of private character, it had
been decided to give up the meeting
Comment would be superGuous. We can
only add that the Professor " shook of
the dust" of the town with such an ex-
preston Of disgust as no man can assume
or conceal. Poor, deluded lamb lie
thought radicalism was not yet dead In
Marshall county.

" TIE list DRAFT"

The Republican com es to the ald OF j..
l.. Westervelt relative to that gentleman's
nggardly course in connection with the
last draft" and urges as an excuse for
his objectionable mcanness on that occa-
sion. that Mr. Wcstcrvet WAS in favor of
taxing the people equally to procure the
money necessary to save our county from
further calls. This helps the case Mr..
Westervet was IN favor Of taxing the
property Of the man who was in the field,
and taking from his iaslily their already
slender means of support, to relieve him.

his proposed course would have exem-
pliiied radical justice ana equality with a

A LITTLE 81 TISA CTION FOB
THE REPUBLICAN
The Republican in its last issue, in on,

The Republican in its last issue, in one
Of its articles on county taxes, says:
"The easiest way to satisfy the people
is for the officials to satisfactorily rhow
why it costs $4,000 to $1,000 more to
run Marshall county than 1t takes to run
the county of st. Joseph"
1t is a very easy matter for Us to show
from the exhibit Of the auditor of that
county there is a fasehood contained in
the above paragraph. from copy of
that exhibit in our possession VIC take the
following items:
Total receipts of county revenue, St Joseph s8Ts .
- proper, Marshall 23Si IS
1881 OF
Expenditures ofst Joseph .............. $aso91 Is
Marshall. ......... ....... - ,5S3 GS
Excess of expenditures Of st. Joseph over
Marshall. S55O1 %
Out of these totals. st Joseph pays of inter
outstanding bonds ............... 1854 70
Marshall county pays interest county
ders............... ...............~....... II 30
Excess of St Jo over Marshall .-.. s1.79s -
These figures are taken from the exhib-
it Of receiI t and expenditures of county
revenue, by St. Joseph county, Indiana,
for the year ending May 3lst, 1868
The exhibit is submitted by Alfred
Wheeler, coun,y auditor, and is examined
and approved, June 6, 1868, by Gilman
Towie, Nathaniel Frame and j. c. Kno-
block, county commissioners, of St. Joseph
county.
We regard such statements as being far
more reliable than the bare assertions of
the Marshall County Republican. The
exhibit above referred to shows the work
ings of the county in detail, while the
report sent the auditor Of state does not
give the financial condition Of the county,
but simply shows the amount of revenue
levied for different purposes, but county
auditors make no report to any body
or official other than the county commits
sioners, concerning the financial con dition
Of their respective counties.
Go in, Dir. Republican, We have these
figures clipped from the st. Joseph county
Valley Register, the home organ of the
immortal Schuyler. your candidate for
vice president, and @c believe the present
auditor Of that county once was, and may
yet be, the editor Of that paper.
You and Westervet aud all the rest of
the unprncipled leaders of your party in
this county, are caught in your misrepre-
sensations, and we are going to watch
you Siggle, twist and squirm I'm til after
the election.
Democrats, preserve these figures and
refute the lies wholesaled ty Wester-
welt and johnson throughout this comfy,
and retailed by those who are silly enough
to believe what they have SAID.
We have another rod Of the same kind
in the pickle for those lying hypocri;es
who are seeking to get into place and
powc@ by slaudering and bearing false
witness against their neighoors.
There are numerous other statements
in the St. Joseph county exhibit that ve
will vet produce for the satisfaction of the
the RcpuJl,can. We hope that for the
present we have succeeded in satisfying
cur readers that the statementsin the Re
publican are falsehoods, and that they

We are informed that there is q man
engaged i'm business in our town, who says
I" he don't want democratic patronage"
He ought not to have it forced upon him.
When man becomes entirely independent
in his business relations. he ought to be
permitted to "retire," and such radicals
as " co not desire democratic patronage"
should be put on the retired list as soon as
possible.

An article in last weeks Republican,
in ST eaking of che condition of the treas
ury Of this county, says: 1.-The treasu-
ry' of the county is short by exactly the
sum the county officials have loaned
without the authority Of law, to favorites,
at low rate Of interest, if not more"
If the Republican means to simply carry
the idea that the building fund is not in
the treasury, we have no exceptions to
take; but if 1t means to say that the
amount is unaccounted for-that it is not
properly secured, and that there is any
danger Of the county ever losing one cent
of it. or it costing anything TO collect it.
then it states what the editor of that pa.
per knows to lie false, for he has t,co Mou-
So1d dollars Of thGt same .fuad, and he
knows, by experience and observation, that
it cost his democratic friends, who secured
the loan for him, quite an amount of time
and money. and the one getting the loan
has al tho expenses to pay.
If the building fund was in the treasu-
urer's hands, what a howl the Republican
would make about there being so much
money on hand, lying idle, and drawing
no interest, whereas, if it had been loaned
out, at interest, 1t would have saved the
taxpayers Of the county thousands of dol
lars
ltwould seem from the above quotation,
that the editor Of the Republican regards
himself as being one Of the g favorites'
of the " couuty officials" inasmuch as he
has two thousand dollars of this
money, loaned without the authority of
law, to .faCorites, at low rate of inter
est" lie cannot very consistently claim
to be npc of those "favorites" when he
must understand that all the county Off
Gals know him to be a renegade demo
crai-a man who has gotten all lis means
and notoriety at the hands Of the demo
cratic party. and is now engaged in the
business of abusing the party that gave
him all that he possesses in the way of
means and responsibility; understanding
these things thoroughly. and approaching
them full, be certainly cannot justly claim
to be " favorite" with those entruste!
with loaniug the building fund yet he
has .wo thousand dollars of that fund, and
it was well understood when the loan was
being made, whom it was made to accomuo-
date
Those making the loan are not surprised

them, their friends and their principles
for they know by observation that man
who will leave his principles and his party
simply because he cannot always receive
preierment, is not to be trusted in any
way, or much expected from him in the
way of manliness or gratitude, but we
must confess that VIC are little surprised
at the amount Of q check" he manilests.
We honestly believe, however, that lie
has been drawn, badly, in buying The Re
pu5lidn Office, and that he is still trusting
TO the men who got HIM into it, for coun-
sci and direction. IF such is the case, We
say to him that he will soon realize that he
is in bad hands.

The Marshall County Republic of
last week, stated that Marshall county

MORE than did st. Joseph county
whereas the figures show beyond dispute
by any honest man, that the tax OF St.
Joseph county for 1867 was = az ;59a ca
