Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-04-09

BouIBoS, April 8, 1868.
EpIToE REPUBLIcAN: II is comparative
" quiet here now since The election, which
resulted 10 the entire satisfaction of the
Republican party, and if not to our Dem
ocratic friends, they will accept the sil,i-
aiien, we presume, with becoming grace.
Their defeat is owing to no lack of effort
on their part, for they labored zealously
and hopefully, and polled their full
strength, whereas the Republicans might
have done better had they been better or
ganized and polled their full strength.
After the votes were all counted out the
Trustee came to the door and announced
the result, which was as follows:
Trustec-Erwin 50 majority.

\ Republican gain since last fall of 80.
This shows what can I've done by organi-
zalion and united effort. Ii the Rcpubli-
cans in the other townships would organ
ize and work as hard the county would be
redeemed this fall from Copperhead rule.
We intend 10 give the Republican ticket
loo majority next fall. The citizens of
Bourbon township have had a practical
demonstration OF sham Democracy and
are sick Of il. Many honest men whe have
heretofore acted with the party will do SO
no longer.
After the result of the election was an
Deuuccd, and three rousing cheers given.
the boys collected lot OF boxes and bar
rels and built huge bonfire, around which
large concourse of happy souls soon gath
cred, among the number our excellent
Brass Band, with their Instruments, who,
by their inspiring notes. increased the en-
thusissm aud enjoyment of the occasion.
Speeches were delivered by Mat Erwin
and DR.. Matchctt, and at late hour the
crnwd adjourned, IN the best possible hui
NOR over the result Of the days work.
ATTEMPTED IMPEACHMENT.
Some of the leaders of the sham Dcmoc-
racy. foreseeing their inevitable defeat, I'M
less they could accomplish coup o'e-tdt,
on Friday last induced a poor dupe
OF theirs 10 swear out a warrant fer the
arrest of the Republican candidate for
trustee. on charge of attempting to bride
one Of their clan 10 vote for him at the last
election, but the proceeding met with no
countenance even from candid Democrats;
on the contrary il was generally dcnonn-
ced by fair minded Democrats as well as
Republicans, as shallow and desperate
artificc of corrupt and unprinciplcd ring
to manufacture political capital; accord
ingly. finding that they were likely TO loose
more than they would make by the mali
cious proceeding, they mol. pros.'d the
suit, and gave il up as bad job. 1t was a
very unwise proceeding on their part, but
they saw inevitable defeat staring them in
the face, and concluded TO try this dcspc-
rate move on our works, but were repui-
Sod with great loss.
