yentiOn assembled II mas made known
that the iiiepds in 81. Joe. had met ia the

but as The Republicans vt Marshall did
not CLAIM the right 40 the Candidate Tor
JOINT representation. il was regarded very
generally by tie friends in Murshai'
county ~ an unnecessary stretch oil
liperailiy upon the part at certain friends
in South Bend. The Republicans from
lhis cnuniy claimed, as they riu CON
tinue to ctdiDl us u matter " right,
according io all usage in such Cases, as
well ss by agreement, tina, they were
entitled To the senatorial Candidate That
81 Joe. had the senator Tor The last iouT
years. and. that Marshall Was entitled 10
MIN for the next Tour. Consequently the
political dessert hashed up by Judge
Egbert, 20 be 2ished out To the Republi
cans of Marshall county. could moi be
accepted with any degree al relish. After
every effort upon the part oil Mar:ball 10
induce fair and honorable dealing, IL
became apparent from the action upon
the part OF the friends from South bend
that We could hot expect To be fairly
dealt with. AT this stage in the proceed.

your people that We are fully able 10 com
prehend all there Is in such preiexl
Kno~ing Ms we do that every legitimate
interest. including the moral status o
your people i'm the city of South Bend
and throughout the county, would be Al
safely entrusted. and AS honorably de
Tended 10y Col Sumner, as by Mr.. Hub
bird of South Bend And the Republi
cans Of Marshall county do not intend Z,
accept an; such pretended Claim rs
justification OF tie very singular cours'
Of the friends in the Bend. Neither Col
Sumner or lie Republicans Of Marshal
county merit any such treatment. and w
very much mistake the character Of on
friends in ST. Joe. county If they, to an
general extent will OF a wiling party t
IL. We want harmony, but demand tba
ii should be upon principles lookin
somewhat 10 the rights OF our country. q
well 90 that OF South Bend, and neve
having refused to do reasonable amour
of work for them, we have y right I
texpect they would willingly return littl
for the last sixteen years OF specisl fave
bestowed upon them. Now It is with th
friends In ST. doe. TO do OF not 10 do, "
mean what we say, and do not speak Il
: ourselves. bot for the masses of the n
!. publicans of Maj ball county.
