A FEW WORDS MORE.

a FEW WORDS MORE.
We did not intend to refer to the
Plymouth Democrat at all, or have
anything more to say about Wheeler
and Vinall and their "clique," but
the position taken by the Democrat
week before last and last week has
made it necessary that we continue
the subject and pay some attention
to the defense of Wheeler and Vinall
by the Democrat, and its low, vulgar.
shiny thrusts ut those in this COM
munity, Republicans and Democrats,
who do not see fit to endorse seduc-
ton, abortion and murder. We
spoke plainly last week, but the In
didnion gave the Democrat such a
complete castigation that it did not
leave the Wheeler and Vinall organ
with the least possible strength to
strike back. 1t can make no reply.
1t can only sputter and blubber in
impotent rage.
The hdianian gives quite q num-
Der Of additional facts i'm the case
concerning Wheeler, and concerning
T. 5. Alleman. 1t takes up the ar
ticle in the Democrat of week before
last on "Public Opinion and shiv-
ers it into atoms by clear, keen,
pointed and mastery review of the
testimony aud surrounding circum-
stances in the case. The Democrat
cannot answer the blianian, or make
even q decent attempt to do 80.
The opinions of the press gener-
orally are indeed in perfect harno-

The Warsaw Union, the
Democratic paper in Warsaw, had a
fair and correct article written for
publication, but Mas persuaded not
to publish it. The Indionion was
offered sum of money to sup press
its first article on the Sue Beaver
case-even if consent would be giy-
EN- to suppress the NAMES of the gull
ty parties. The Elkhart Revisw says
that the evidence elected before the
Coroner's jury points conclusively
to A. L. Wheeler, and that the de-
spicable villain deserves the most
condign punishment. The South
Bend National Union, a Democratic
paper, says Wheeler has the reputa-
ton of being a villain. The South
Bend Register of last week says that
the friends of Wheeler are trying to
a little sympathy for
the wretch, and if possible, turn
public opinion in his favor. It adds
that it will be hard TO do 40 with
people of any sense and decency at
all. The villain should be brought
to justice. if possible, and the people
should sustain the noble course of
the RsPUBLIcAN, in trying 20 elevate
the standard OF morals and rid the
town of such wickedness. In the
same style speak the Peru Republican,
the Goshen Tmcs, the LaPorte Her
1ld, the LaGrange Standard, and all
The leading papers around US, excep.
one or two, that the Plymouth Dem
oerat has persuaded to keep silence
as personal favor"
We are perfectly satisfied with the
good company We have, and spit
upon the organ Of A L. Wheeler d
Co., with supreme contempt. We
hope that the Democrat will realize
that it is slpported to agreat extent
by the public pap" for which all
the people are taxed. Some return
is expected Of some benefit to the
town and county. We hope that the
castigation it is getting on all sides
will have the effect Of teaching the
soft-headed young man with great
expectations" and bis thick-he AIDED,
