The following communication was
received too late to appear last week:
The grand Cops at Warsaw being
appraised by few of the faithful ones
that a large and magnificent dclega-
ton from Bourbon was on the way,
AMI would be there in time to Join
their proc cssion, and who Of course,
verd expecting to be received in
grand Democratic style, hurried off
their procession to the speaking
ground. leaving the Bourbon delega-
ton alone in its glory. t
The Bourbon Marshall taking of
fence at this cool treatment, made
for the depot and came home on the
first train.
This raised the dander ofthe Bour-
hon Cops, and they concluded to
wreak their vengeance on any Repub-
they should meet. So, striking out
and leaving the Bourbon Band be-
hind in true Democratic style, but on
the way home they were overtaken
by the Band which wished to get in
front of the delegation to lead it into
to sn, but was prevented from doing
so. and their wagon crowded into
ditch. A free nsc Of rot gut was
the cause of this. 0. X.

The Campaign tn Marshall
Is encouraging indeed. There has
never been a time since the "whelm-
ingtide" Of ga oerwhelmed,thc Re-
publican party of the county, when
our prospects had so bright look as
now. We may not succeed on the
18th proximo, but the time is certain
IL near at hand when the county
must submit to the wholesome guild
ance of honest Republicans. The
people in every township are wide
awake, and the honest Democrats
who do not hope to become county
officials and have not the promise Of
office, are seriously asking if the
charges against the clique they help
ed to elect are true If they proper
~ follow up their inquiry they will
soon become satisfied the charges are
true. Leading Democrats and Re-
Publicans who have investigated the
matter know them to be true. 1t
doesn't require much intelligence for
q man to know the Democratic par
ty OF the county had no lawful right
to raise by taxation a large fund,
100000 tn 100000. ostensibly to
build fire-proof vaults in . court

thus raised, ten or eleven hundred
acres of land; and when one Of such
party being an Official fails to pay
over to his successor the money 80
used in speculation, to quietly and &C.
cretly take the note Of the outgoing
official for the amount Of his defal-
cation, and then tell the people that
the county had loaned tie money to
SAID tx-Offciaf; to know that it
was not necessary for the levy and
collection of a tax of more than 1885,
900 in sc, in this county while St.
Joseph county with twice the wealth
and a much larger population only
needed and collected little m ore than
SIT 900 for county purposes for the
same year; and so know that it is un-
necessary that the Democratic audit
or should in any one twelve months
ofbis official career receive for ser
vices exclusiye.of pcrquisites, $685.

like number of months never got
one half that sum for services! Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans desire
an economical administration Of the
county affairs, and cannot long toll
crate wreckless extravaganza.
The Democrat triedto write down
our local speakers for discussing
home matters, denounced the attempt
as puerile and intimated that they did
not know enough to discuss national
questions. That organ did all it
could 10 draw the attention of the
people away from county matters,
called Westervelt hard names and at
first stoatly denied all his assertions,
in relation to county finances.
Now the county officials and Dem
ocratic expectants are thoroughly
alarmed and comfy matters have all
at once assumed, in their eyes, vest
importance, and rewards, exhibits,
statements, and offers to bet seem to
be the order Of the day it'll them.

ship wrote too late for the last issue
but we now publish the following ex-
tracts:
Early last week posters were stuck
up in the principal strong holds OF
Democracy in this township, calling
upon the faithful to assemble at the
School House, Wednesday evening,
September 9th for the purpose Of or
ganizing a company Of white boys in
blue.
So diligent were Che Dems in CIR
culating their posters that numbers
Of them were carried to tho funeral
Of Rev. Marion Hamilton and there
distributed.
As the Democracy are very strong
VIC thought they would have a big
time. The night came, we went to
see the oufpouring and behold there
Is Democrats, 8 Republicans and 2
small boys.
The meeting was called to order
by DR.. j. M. Confer, Of Plymouth,
who announced the business of the
meeting to be the organization Of a
company of White Boys in Blue, and
assured them that if they Joined the
company they would not be drafted
nor have to fight any sooner than if
they remained outside of the organi-
zation. He then retired to the Rad
icals, using the word about twenty
times in few minutes speech.
After few hearty appeals he left
the floor, and Peter CRUDE was called
mp, and said: "You won't have to go
to war-they can't draft you-you
wont have to fight unless the Rsdi-
calls interrupt our rallies, and then we
will be expected to. stick together
You will all have to sign the con-
stitution of the company but forgot
to bring it with me-" Here. colo
Guy took place between CRUDE and
Confer about the absence Of their
constitution, and after some discus
sion it was concluded that the names
could be written on slip OF paper
and transferred to the regular list One
fellow wanted to know what the uni
would cost Peter informed him that
it would not cost over two dollars !,
and he thought cverv one could af-
ford 70 give that sum for the good OF
the country. This seemed to satisfy
all enquirers, and it mattered not to
them what their constitution required
SO long rs the Club was Democratic
and they didn't have to pay too much
nor 60 to war.
After getting all the recruits pos
sible, Pete dismissed the audience.
They forgot to cheer for their can,
didate and the speech made by Pete,
