when all were seated, and the leader

From Peila.

PELLA, Oct. 6, 1873.
ED. VoTER.-Only one more week
till election. The campaign in this
township is certainly one of the live
Hest we have had for some years.
The candidates on the Grange ticket
have long been ut work here to get
some prominent Democrat to come
out in support Of their ticket. The
only one they were able to flop
over to their side for long time was
Allison Lee, present city marshal
who was candidate for sheriff in the
Peoples convention and was defeated.
But this conversion did the Grange
ticket no good here. Lee had no in
fuence, you see. So what they could
not do by entreaties and persuasion,
they tried to accomplish by bribery,
on nobody less than II. Neyenesch,
editor of Pella's Weokbtad, the
Holland paper. Said paper pro-
fesses to be neutral, but always
upon the eve Of election comes out for
the Democratic party. Last year
Neyenesch was determined that the
paper should be neutral on politics;
when election day wasnear a few prom
inent Democrats called on him and
asked him to come out for the Demo-
cratic ticket and support IL. l.. Bous-
quet for Clerk, but he would not. a
$40 green-back was then held out to
him; he accepted, and wrote three ed
itorials in support Of the Democratic
party. We have heard this editor
time and again state this year that he
would not support this Grange ticket
that he was not in favor Of it, that he
wante9.a straight Democratic ticket,
etc. Green Il. Clark offered him the
candidacy for County Superintendent
OF schools, upon the ticket, and he
still declined. Something, however,
has proven too much for him. What
the bride is this time your correspond
ent does not know perhaps your
Mccormack can tell. 1t is
said that Me. promised him n share
in the Grange thread and butter"
and that the hesh-psts offered were too
tempting to hold out against them.
We actually pity man who has no
about him. But the coolest
part is thar the Weekbtdd calls upon
the Democrats, who are opposed to the
Grange ticket to repent and follow
him and vote the Grange ticket. BY
the way, lie don't call 1T Gronye but
Reform" ticket. Grange is enough
to scare every Hollander out Of it, and
he knows that very well. Present APP
pearances however indicate that this
will have little ifany effect
in the campaign. 1t will be so much
money thrown away. IL the Repub-
licaus had offered the IVeekJiad editor
n few dollars he would no doubt have
their ticket. Means will lie
taken. to have this sell exposed to
every Hollander in the township be-
fire election day. The Republicans
will all cast their votes, without
scratching, for the Republican county
ticket.
The Republican Township Conven-
ton is, called for Friday evening.
r. Let the l4,h of October come, and
we will give the Republican ticket
suchta rousing majority as will fsrever
exclude Grange tickets from the-feld.

receivd from Mr.. McCuHy who did
see the letter, and advised the Demo
cratic convention should at least en-
dorse the Democratic portion of the

further that he did say Mccormack
was acting with duplicity toward the

NAvIGAToRS IN A TUB.-Green K.
is the Captain, Mccormack is the pi-
lot, Boydston is the engineer, and Far
ris. Crozier g. Co. are the petty of
ficers who have launched out in lit
tie tub to lead the Grange fleet across
the political gnlf into the official har-
Dor. It amusing to see them Heun
dering about, all giving orders and
wanting to be captains, and all trying
to steer, while they are compelled 70
spend most of their time at tire pumps
in order to keep the old tub clear OF
water and avoid sinking. Besides the
Offices they hold on their own little tub,
they claim to be admirals, commo-
dores etc, for the fleet, and all want
to be the chief in command. HoweV-
err. the fleet all answer TO Mes signals,
and the crew all dip their banners and
oars to the big man who steers the tub.
CAN'T VOTE THE RADICALS. From
several townships reports come up that
large portion Of the Democratic
Changers are unable to swallow the
Radicals on the ticket, and won't trust
the Radical Changers to vote the DEM
ocratic portion. They are distrustful
of each other; one won't stick because
he knows the other won't. The sol
diers can't vote for Green II. Clark,
and Crozier and Farris, who staid at
home and abused soldiers during the
war. when their opponents on the Re
publican ticket were all soldiers.
Many Democrats in and out or the
Grange, will make up a ticket OF DEM
ocrats to suit them as far as the DEM
ocrats on the Independent and Grange
tickets will reach, and vote the balance
Of the ticket blank. Other Democrats
will vote nothing but Independents.
Others will vote Independents and
fill out with Republicans in order to
spite Mccormack. Republican Gang
ers will vote the straight Republican
ticket because they can't follow Mes
lead, knowing that he is only after
bread and butter, and will turn upon
them whenever he finds it to his in
terest to do so. All the elements OPP
posing the Republican ticket are di-
vided and jealous, and there is no pros
pect that they can unite or harmonic
upon anything. The main question
is, which Of the two tickets, Independ-
ent or Grange, will get the largest vote?
at least the question is frequently
asked, and many men not novices in
Marion County politics find it difficult
to decide the question in their own
minds with any satisfactory degree of
certainty.
