The Lincoln County herald., 1872-10-02
Major Rollins At Troy.


=
Last Friday business called Maj. J. s
Rollins to this place, snd . number oI
sitisens waited sPsn lin snd gained bis
consent to address them that evening,
which he did in his usual mastery way
lie is = perfect orator, and when he
speaks bis audience is bound to listen.
lie spoke Of his defeat for the nomiua
tion at the state convention, and thought
it was unfortunate that be did not get it,
iuasmueh a. bis old antagonist John B
Henderson, was the Radical nominee for
Governor. He knew his record. his
meand.rings, and tergivsrsatioDs, proba
bly, better than any man 10 the state, and
would have made the campaign rich,
rare and racy one. We have but little
doubt Of this, for Maj. Rollins would
certainly make Henderson squirm and
twist around about as lively as any one
that could be put on bis track.
Net receiving that nomination, how.
ever, he gives his hearty support to
Judge Woodson, whom he complmeuted
as one Of the best and ablest men in the
state, and his expressed determination to
stand by the Liberal cause, makes us
feel more kindly toward him than a
recent article in the Herald would indi.
cate.
Hsspoke Of the great national struggle
row going on, and showed TIE folly Of the
straight-outs opposition to Greeley and
Brown. He compared the former with
Grant in an intellectual point and as
regards their statemanship, and gave q
very pointed example Of the widely diff
ferent character &. of their speeches.
While Mr.. Greeley comprehends every
question before the people, whether of q
political. financial, comm ercial, agri
cultural or mineral nature, and invariably ,
addresses the people at the different
points where he stops upon the issues
that interest them locally as we'll as ma
tionally, Grant is found returning thanks
for invitations to places Of amusement
and the Major quoted the following litrl'
piece Of eloqueucs, in school boy style
which Grant delivered at Newark, N. j.
tbs other day:
l could not feel otherwise than graft
fed at the reception l have met at tn
hands Of the citizens of Newark ant
New jersey to day. l have had th
pleasure Of visiting the state fair, nea
Elizabeth, where l saw little else bu
people and l came here to visit the sx
position, where l have seen little els
but people, though l hope to morrow L
visit it sgain, when | shall have NOR
leisure.
Maj. Rollins made an eloquent appsa
to the citizens to be prompt 10 having
their names registered at the genera
registration, and said it was an obligation
and duty that no man should neglect
whsa 80 much is At stake. He said tina
the present campaign was not so much Il
decide the question - to who shoul'
govern the country for the next fou
years, but for the next quarter of cen.
tsry. A Liberal victory this fall, woult
unlooss the chains Of the South, AZ,
place the country uader the control Of
Liberal Democratic party.
At the close Of his remarks be sslic
tied the people of Lincoln county to rol
up rousiug majority fer Judge Wood
sos, the Democratic state ticket, and 70
Judge Buckuer for Congress and W
hope old Lincoln will not disAppoint thos
who lssk to us for such support,
Ths Major spoke for more than an houl
durisg which time the audience listsus
ssr.ptured, and applaudsd him through
cut. He started for Indiana last Mon
DAY to work for the Democracy of ths
state until the election, which takes plae
next Tuesday.
