Who does not know that all these ques

when honestly answered? Whoever en-
dorses such an answer should vote the
radical ticket.

BE Not DECEIVED.

1t is conceded by all that Marshall
county at the approaching election will
give democratic majority: The only
question is as to the number of that ma
jority. Hopeful radicals put it down as
low as four hundred, and sanguine demo.
Gratis claim eight hundred.
1t being unqucstionable that the demo-
cratic county ticket will be- elected, what
can be the object of Westervelt & Co. in
trying to draw the attention of the voters
upon county affairs, to the exclusion of
state and national affairs? These dodgers
have no hope of defeating the democratic
county ticket, but by drawing the minds
of the people off the real issues they hope
to reduce the majority in Marshall coun-
ty, and thus make this false cry serve their
purpose in promoting the interests of the
bondholder and the negro.
If they can make a few conservative
republicans, who really desire the success
of democratic rirciples, think that there
is something wrong in the affairs of the
county, and thus keep him from voting
the democratic ticket, they thereby secure
or save a vote for Jap. Packard, Gov. b :
ker and radical principles.
We beg our friends not to be mislead
The affairs OF the county have been hon.
estly aud honorably administered, and not
one cent has been stolen or misappied by
any democratic official in the county.
These radicals know it. The officers are
all under ample bonds, and their books are
al! open for the inspection of any and ev-
cry man in Marshall county. The cry of
extravaganza, dishonesty and fraud, is a
vile, unworthy, disreputable trick of poll
ticians to deceive the people into voting
against their real sentiments and principles.
II is self.evident that this is true. If
there was one item of fraud or unlawful
expenditure how quickly would the radi-
cal leaders publish it in full detail ali ever
the county. They can find nothing of
the kind and merely talk in general terms
meaning nothing out to deceive.
We challenge and dare any responsible
radical in this county to state in positive
terms that he knows of any fraud or dis
honesty on the part of any democratic Of
fcer N Marshall county, Not one CT
chem dare DO it.
Then in what manner should their lies
and insinuations be received by the peo-
pie whom they are attempting to blind and
d .ceive?
Let every man who favors democratic
doctrines vote the democratic ticket, and
we assure him that any and all questions
he desires to ask relative to county af-
fairs will be promptly and satisfactorily
answered by parties who can and will
make their word good The books are at
the court house. open to all, and We invite
these radicals to bring up the people and
anime them fully.

THE SANE OLD STORY

A friend Of ours who heard and took
full notes of Jap. Packard's speech when
he addressed The people of Plymouth and
vicinity, and who also heard him speak at
Rochester the other day in joint discussion
with Judge Farrand, informs us that on
both occasions Packard used the same
speech almost verbatim, without even the
good taste or sense to vary it by commenc-
ing at the end and speaking back to the
beginning the last time. Like a school
boy or a parrot he went through his per-
formance just as he at first learned it and
has since pract;ced it. The same saving
of the air, shaking of the head, and -four
ishing of his flowing, buttered locks. The
same cant about red handed rebels, the
same old jokes, the same Illustration of
:. demo cratic economy" and the same his
tory of the New York convention. In
fact, all the same. Stale, fiat and un-
profitable as his speech was here, we
supposed he never would repeat it or any
part of it; but having no other and too
little ability to originate one, he makes
the best Of it and goes around "speaking
has piece " with commendablo regularity.
With too little sense or too much vanity
to appreciate the lashings and defeats he
sustains at the hands Of Judge Farrand,
he keeps up his stereotypcd smile and
speech and continues the canvass in which
he has been again and again routed and
defeated, with as much confidence as
though he were daily winning laurels,
instead of earning the contempt of great
majority of his auditors. lie trusts to

ST, 10, COUNTY EXHIBIT.

The exhibit of ST. 10. county for 1867
shows the receipts of that county for that
year 10 have been something over $4,000
greater that the receipts of Marshall
county. A portion of these receipts were
from cash on hand at the beginning of the
year, and yet the same exhibit shows that
during the same year nearly $4,000 wer e
paid out for interest Can some smart
radical 6nancier explain the prorriety of
paying this amount of money for interest
when SO much money is on hand i'll the
treasury?
Marshall county is out Of debt and pays
no interest, but has no large surplus coun-
ty fund to carry over from year to year
St. 10. county is in debt largely. and
pays nearly $4,000 per year interest, yet
manages to carry over some Sl4 900 cash
from one year to another, and thereby
makes her levy of taxes lighter than ours.
This is radical financiering
The fact is that the treasurer of St. 10
county for 1867 received for county pur.
poses the sum of S37 900 against s24, 600
received by the treasurer Of Marshall
county for county purposes for the same
year. And St. 10. county is to-day large.

JOINT DISCUSSION AT ARGOS

JOINT DISCUSSION AT COS
At the joint discussion at Argos yester-
day, between Farrand and Packard, the
democracy beat the republicans in the
demonstration two to one, both ia mum.
bers and style. All honor is due the de-
mocracy of the south part of the county
and from Bourbon, and also from Fulton.
Packard spoke first, and we must say
that by his rawlings, shakings, and violent
gesticulations, he appeared to be more
available candidate for the insane asylum
than for congress. He is very careful to
dodge all the issues of the day, and rant.
about rebels, copperheads and Marshall
county politics.
Farraud made very able and convin.
cling speech, and we are sorry we have not
room TO give the many very strong points
in it.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1868-10-01

TIE Republican, of last week, says we
have ignored national politics, and eu-
gagged in the discussion of county affairs,
in the last issues of our paper. This is
true to certain extent; and our purpose
in so doing was to accommodate our neigh
bors of the Republican. who ingloriously
fled from the discussion Of, national poll
tics. At the opening of the campaign,
which was certainly one of national i'm
portance, we supposed our neighbors would
throw themselves gallantly into the breach,
and battle manfully for the principles they
have nearly all their lives fought against.
Hardly had the first sound of the coming
storm against radicalism shocked their al
ready unsteady nerves, until they-in the
language of their patron saint" turned
tail and run" Perceiving in the discuss
ion of county affairs field for the exer-
else of their peculiar talents, they halted
in their stampede from the domain of po-
litical discussion, and attempted to make a
feeble stand in order to prevent a total
rout of their dlsorganizcd forces. Their
efforts in their new sphere have been about
as successful as they would have been had
they engaged in the discussion Of national
politics. The unfairness, gross misrepre-
sentation, and positive falsity of many of
the statements made by them in the dis
,ussion of county politics, have been so
thoroughly exposed that their own party
friends have become Disguised with their
silly twaddle. Having discussed county
politics with them, until they seem willing
to play quits, we would again invite them
to discussion of national issues, if it was
at all probable that they would accept, or
that they would make it interesting should
they engage in the discussion. The atten-
ton which We have given to local politics
