The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-04-01
From BloomiIllc.

EDIToRs TRIBUNE In tho last
issue of tho 1drcrtiscr, | notice a
short epistle from some Coppsrhead,
giving an account Of tho Copperhond
Caucus in Bloomvillc, on the Goth Of
this month, and boasting that thore
was a large turnout, aud that there
was present J. II. Wilson; Esq, aud
other prominent Republicans that
have always acted with one party uu.
til after the inauguration of General
Grant. Aud that silly Copperhoad
protends to believe that j. Il. Wilson
aud others present on that occasion
will act with the so.callod Democrats
in tho future.
Now, Mr. Editors, | have just cause
TO doubt Ills sincerity in this matter.
First, thcre was no signs Of repent.
anco on tho part Of said j. II. Will
sou aud 9th ers, present on that oo.
cOsion, because they have nothing to
repent Of, but we're rejoicing with joy
unspeakablo and full Of political glory
with consciousness of having done
right politicallyall their lives in fight.
ing Copporheads, being satisfied that
they could not strike blow in that
direction amss.
Second, | doubt his sincerity, bo.
cause there was no effort on their
part to convict por to convert any
Que to the so.callod Democratic faith,
and he certainly knows if from moth
ing else, from past experience, that
the Lord never does anything in that
direction for his party. It is true
that j X. w. and other Republicans
we're present, and for some cause uu-
known TO them, somo of the so called
Democracy showed signs Of unecsi.
| mass and an nnxioty To havo said j.
y. w. and others leave. At length
they became 30 anxious that they be-
gan TO mike proposals TO have them
leave. Afior some clustering, one
of their number, Auditor Burns,
agreed to give said j II. w. ono
glass of cider i' no would leave. j.
II, Wsngreed on his part to leave 80
soon as he drank tho cider. There.
upon Auditor Burns bought five
cents worth Of coppcrhead cider,
their meeting being in Democratic
grocery. So j. II, w. commenced
the serious task of taking five cents
worth Of Democratic cider, aud by a
desperate effort on his part aud shed
ding some tears, he succeeded in get
ting the stuff down him in about ono
minute after tho last officer was nom
mated 10y them, being fully satisfied
that Coppcrhcad cider as we'll as
COpporhead doctrine was very hard
for him to take.
Now, IL that Cop7erhcad is foolish
enough to think that that one glass
Of Copperhead cider would lead j. r..
w. or any other Republican in the
direction of his party ho is very
much mistaken. Hut | am satisfied
if no could taste of tho crumbs that
fall from the political table Of tho
Republican party he would repent in
sackoloth aud ashes. Then he would
have a clear conscience, sleep sweotly
at night, and have pleasant dreams.
But j. II. W, is undoubtedly thank
ful to Auditor Burns for his FIVE
cents worth of cider, believing that Il
was the best he had, having exhausted
his store up Salt River and | should
think from the couutenanco and
watery eyes of j Il. w. while strug =
Cling with that glass of cider, that
Auditor Buns had a very rough sea
on his trip down to vote, for there
certainly must have been considerable
Of saltLiu his elder.
Nav, Mr., Editors, on the eth ult.
the Ropublieans net for the purpose
Of nominating Township officers aud
ono Justice Of the Peace. II wa,
the largest meeting of the kind ever
held in Bloomville. The meeting
was called to order by appointing
A. B, MoLelland, Chairman, NJ. j,
Splitter, Secretary, aud J. II. Wilson
Teller. Phey proceeded to uomiuat,
Jacob Hossler for Justice of the
Peace; Trustees, Madison Finch
John Wax and William Mitchell

Constables, Joseph Miller and T. A
Watson. The following were elected
a Township Central Committee: A
B. MoLelIand, Il. 7. Bliss and IL. +
Hossler.
! There were signs Of a reformation
then aud there to see Democrat,
coming up with their tickets in theil
hands, and asking to!vote, aud pledg
ing TO support the nominees only
showed their feelings.
Look ont for lively time on cleo,
iion day, for tho Republicans ar,
wide awake,
