Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-05-25
Let the South Prevail.

Two weeks ago the REPUBLICAN
published the circulars emanating
from the Democratic candidates for
Circuit Judge, Hon. Horace COrbin
and \. G. Capron, Esq. We suppose
all our readers of both political par
ties read them and were edited there
by. Ut was interesting literature, and
il as TO us a labor of love TO lay the
matter before our readers. III any
one has not read those interesting
circulars, we beg he will refer to the
REPUBLICAN OF May 18th. and read
them with care. We presume none
of our political opponents will dis
pute our affirmation that the truth
fitness of Democrats is beyond dis
pute, especially if we take distin-
guished members OF the party and
Democratic papers generally as au-
thority. They are an eminently We
racious generation. No Ananias or
Sapphire among them; and the way
of falsehood they have not known.
Now Mcssrs. Corbin and Capron. the
two C's are known far and wide as
distinguished pillars in the Demo
cratic Church of Marshall county.
OF course they are truthful gentle
men. Far be it from us to dispute
the word of gentlemen, who from
their associations, and from their
lifelong political affiliations, are so
distinguished as the living embOdi
ment of the truth. OF course our
readers know that these two worthy
knights OF Veracity and Concord are
candidates for the Democratic nom
ination for Circuit Judge. As might
be naturally expected each is willing
the other should not have it,and they
have taken occasion, through the cir
culars alluded to, TO set forth one an
others qualifications. They say
things OF each other which each for
himself would willing let die. But
are they not veracious gentlemen?
Whosoever would dispute or doubt
their word. let him be Anathema
Maranatha. And when Capron says
to COrbin that his big brick house,
which now appears so elegantly in
the new atlas CT Indiana. was built
by crooked" voting as State Sena-
tor, that he was guilty OF fraud and
swindling" i'm the case of Samuel Sui
Ivan VS.. Horace Corbin, and other
similar oifenses as Judge, all OF
which are they not written in the
book of the said circulars? let no
man dare dispute the word OF so high
and mighty and veracious an author
ity. And when Corbin says OF Ca
prom that he applied TO his own use
certain funds OF the county of Mar
shall and certain other funds OF the
city OF Plymouth, who shall call in
question the word of so high and
mighty and veracious an authority?
What shall we say then? Let these
two men be true, though all the rest
be liars.
1t is now for the people to choose
between them. Between them? Yes,
between these two. Are they not
men OF veracity, and has not each
set forth the great merits OF his
brother. How sad it is that the peO-
pie cannot make them both judges
Doubtless they will find il difficult to
choose between them. OF course the
Democracy OF this Judicial Circuit
cannot think OF taking a third man.
1t must be one OF these whom the
circulars so lucidly describe. Surely
they have manifested their accom-
plishments and abilities, and the
Democrats cannot now consent that
it should be all loves labor lost by
RELOCATING them to the sweets OF a
private life of purity and fraternity.
And yet there would be in this some
compensating. for has not the singer
of Israel said: Behold how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren
to drell together in unity. 1t is like
the precious ointment upon the
beard, even Aaron's beard, that ran
down TO the hem of his garments.
