Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-09-17
The Democrats of Marshall County

many delegates to the Kendallville Con-
gressional Convention, or If they did, the
delegates did not care enough abou, the
result to attendit. We have heard Of but
one Democrat who did attend, from this
County. He perhaps came as near rep
resenting the party as dozen men could.
The nominee, Freeman Kelley, although
he may be pretty good man. does not
seem to suit any of them.
"A. G. Hessing, the Bismarck of Chi
cago, has recently joined the Democracy
and helped to create the platform for
the party in Illinois. He proposes good
many reforms. First he wants q hard
money currency, second free whisky and
no Sunday. He Is opposed to so many
elections and would have great portion
OF the officers appointed tor long terms.
He would have the legislative authority
of large cities devided into two branches,
one Of which should he elected by the
people and the other appointed by the
judges. He thinks the poor office holders
are not so much to be blamed for accept
ing brides as the rich corporations, and
land owners and spectators, are for Offer
ing the brides. His sympathies are with
the poor Office holders. How can they
hold out against the magnificent brides,
which promise ease and comfort the bal.
ance OF their lives. The case is put pref.
ty strong by Mr. H., but Americans pre-.
fer to improve if possible, upon our pres
ent liberal system of government, to
reforming backwards.
John E. Neff, candidate for SECRETARY
of State, and Ebenezer Henderson, can
didate for Auditor of State, on the Dem
ocratic ticket, visited Plymouth last mon
day, and addressed the people in front of
the Parker House, by the light of a burn
ing tar barrel. The people did not turn
out very largely to hear the eloquent speak
ers: but the burning tar attracted several
boys, who enjoyed the occasion, as boys al
ways delight in bon fire. Henry Behren-
brook who was employed to keep up the
light was considerably annoyed by the
boys and slapped some of them in the face
with his tar besme AIRED hands. The boys.
tn retaliate. bought some eggs and pelted
Henry with them. The boys had the best
of il. II was not political contest-nor
was il on account Of nationality, as we
are informed that the boys represented
both political parties, and both the for
eign and native elements.
c. H. Reeve. ESQ was called out and
made speech defining his position. He
is decidedly in favor of honest men con-
troleing the destinees Of the government,
but as that kind of men are so seldom
fourd willing to sacrifice themselves for
the public good, he daspairs of ever re-
storing it TO It's original purity.
