ARGOS.
ARGOS. Ind, Sept. 9Th, 1875

this week.
1t is currently reported that Boss
Kelley and John Morrissey are about
to engage in tremendous effort to
convert Bob. Ingersol to the Chris
tian faith.
One of our staunch Republicans
informed a couple of boarders, who
made disrespectful remarks about
one Of our leading statesmen, that
their presence was not desirable.
They skinned out"
Last night the Argos L. & Fl.
Club was to have met. but at half
past eight o'clock there was mary a
clubber on hand. There seems to be
a dearth of enthusiasm.
Austin Brown, of indianapolis, is
@booked" as q successful letter writer
but his epistles are not sacredly pre-
served. For ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" commend us to
the Democracy. The Heather
Chinee" is no where.
Austin n. Brown, Of Marion
county, master Of the importation OF
Democratic voters, is beginning his
work early. Assured OF defeat with
a fair election, the Democracy's hope
Of success consists in the importation
of Kentuckey rebels. 'Rah for re-
form.
The idle, worthless, lazy loafer is
continually prating about "hard
times" His family are objects of pity
and charity, but he should be kicked
outside the earth's attraction. We
have no use for that kind of men.
The able bodied man who refuses to
work should be booted every time he
says hard times"
Argos was well represented at
Rochester yesterday, and a good time
is reported. The crowd was large
and the speaking excellent. We pre-
sumo in about two weeks "Christless
whelps" Julian-with whom Sol Mer-
edith once sought an interview-will
come snarling along Morton's trail.
How the Senator does wake up the
Democratic echoes.
The boys were on the rampage
last Saturday night, and, from the
reports, Lad "gobs" Of fun. They
blockaded the sidewalk in front OF
Bowel Bros store with boxes, lad
ders, ETC., carried off Esq. Leland's
gate, and placed in front OF our resi-
dence the Democratic bulletin board,
on which was written-by no mean
scribe-a most commendable decla-
ration. To the same (declaration) we
earnestly request the boys to sincere
ly subscribe.
That the Democratic Indepen-
dents are not sincere we have a little
local evidence. One OF the acknowl-
edged leaders of the Independent
Greenback party-a man who de-
nounced Tilden privately aud public
| ly, and declared he would rather vote
for Hayes-was elected president OF
the Tilden and Hendricks club at
this place last Wednesday night, and
he gladly and cheerfully accepted the
position. Rail- Can't deluded Re-
publican Independents see and un-
derstand the game?
Our infant brother (weighing 305
lbs.) and wife are here visiting. They
have just returned from Philadelphia,
and pronounce the exposition big
thing. The infant has been regarded
as a swallow anything kind of Dem
ocrat, but when he informed his Dem
ocratic acquaintance here that "Blue
Jeans" was so illiterate that he could
MT correctly frame a simple sentence,
and that lhat kind OF material was
not desirable In a Governor, they
ceased to interview him in political
way.
"A. C. Capron spoke here on
Thursday evening. We were absent
on that evening. but are told that he
gave Judge Corbin fearful ventila-
ton. His sudden transition from
poverty to affiuence, his manner OF
giving his own claims on individuals
precedence over the claims OF others,
&C., &c, were presented in an unan-
swerable shape. Mr.. c. was provided
with assessment lists, records, and all
needed testimony, and went to work
as though he knew just what he was
doing. 1t is Democratic fight. but
Mr.. @. exhibits some terrible black
and damning spots in the career of
hin Democratic competitor.
M. A. o. Packard spoke here on
last Wednesday night, but business
prevented our attendance. We are
informed that he charged Mr.. Baker
with voting for the Centennial appro-
priation bill, which every Republican
auditor, and every Democratic nearer
who can read, knew was no such
thing. In Mr.. BIS speech on that bill
he said. among other things; For one
/ do not believe in gifts made to any
body or to any corporation out OF the
public Treasury. am disposed TO
doubt our right to set. ourselves up
as donors OF the peoples money.
If the people desire to make
gift to the Centennial board they
are quite competent to do 1t. but for
one am heartily tired of the policy
of diyerting money from the Treasury
to other than proper Governmental
purposes. He voted against the bill
and every reader knows it. This is
fair sample of the style and truthful
ness Of Mr.. P's speech. We are in
formed that one of the auditors be-
came so Democratically inspired that
1t became necessary to lead him from
the hall. The audience numbered,
all told, about fifty persons.
