The Greenback Labor Reformers
OF this district met in convention at
Kendallville, Wednesday of last week.
and nominated Judge Tousley, of
Albion, as their candidate for Con-
gress. The ring programme was
thus carried out and the "honest par
ty' "the party Of the people the
poor mans party" placed themselves
in the market asking the Democracy
Of the district to take them. The
Kendallville Standard says there
was considerable difficulty in whip
ping in some of the delegates to sup
port the ring programme, but 1t was
finally accomplished by the persuas-
i've eloquence of the lager beer and
pretzel." Notwithstanding all the
enthusiasm manifested by the huge
Greenback party in Marshall county
to secure the nomination OF John 8.
Bender, we are informed that there
were but three delegates present
from this county and Mr.. Bender did
not get a single vote in the conven-
ton. The whole concern was run by
the old Democratic ring politicians,
and the Democrats of the county
will be expected to swallow Tousley
just as they did Greedy, Tilden, KEEL
ley, and others. It will Of course not
be a worse dose than they have Ia
ken and will be no worse for them
than for the "fiat" fellows who have
offered the trade. The Herald OF this
city, whose editor was a delegate,
tells it in this way: Several names
were then brought before the con-
vention for representative in Con-
gress, Judge Hiram s. Tousley, on
account Of his fidelity to the people,
to the Greenback cause, and general
integrity, seemed to be the unani
nous choice of the convention and
was nominated by reclamation.
Whether the Democracy ratifies the
contract made by the politicians or
not, it must be evident to all that the
"fiat" leaders in this district are for
sale just as they are everywhere else.

WOLF CREEK.
BY l.. T. w,

The Greenbackers are not very numer-
Gus in this locality.
We have heard just now that Mrs. Pom
thus, of this place, is very sick.
Elihu Morris and wife went to Chicago
on the 18th inst, with the excursion.
Mrs. Pickerl lost valuable mare one
day last week, while her son was blowing
corn.
Huckleberries are getting scarce. There
will be tolerable fair crop of apples and
peaches.
Wolf Creek has two new comers-Mr.
Plat, the blacksmith, and M. Pontius ;
both good citizens.
There appears to be disease that is
killing the fish, as large numbers are dy-
ing in Wolf Creek and Yellow river.
Preaching next Sunday at the Wolf
Creek Church, by Rev. A. J. Clifton, at 8
o'clock, and Sabbath school every Sunday
at 2-Oliver Morris, Superintendent.
The farmers have been busily engaged
for several days blowing corn, which
looks very promising at the present time.
Oats harvest is at hand, and the yield bids
fair to be an average one.
The health in this locality is generally
good. DIR. Caillat talks of moving to
Plymouth, but we hope he will change his
mind. for We would be sorry to loose so
good physician.
The boys around Wolf Creek amuse
themselves these hot nights swimming in
the mill pond and race. The grist mill is
owned and run by Michael B. Zehner, O
man who is always ready to accommodate
his customers. He also has a grocery
store and postofflce, attended by Leonard
Hullinger.

Our Candidates.

Our Candidates.
The Republican Convention last
Saturday did a good work. Every
township was fully represented and
the convention was harmonious and
enthusiastic.
JAMES NJ. LowERY,
candidate for representative, Is sub
stantial farmer of Walnut township,
Is one OF the oldest citizens of the
county, man Of good sense, sterling
integrity, and, in fact just the man
for the place.
HIRAM J. MACoMBER,
Of German township, who was nomi-
mated for Auditor by reclamation, is
well known throughout the county.
He is one Of the best business men in
the flourishing town Of Bremen, and
his qualifications are not excelled by
any man in the county. He will make
an officer any county might be proud
of, and every man in Marshall should
feel fortunate in having such a candi-
date to vote for.
NOAH V. HOOVER,
OF West township, is the nominee for
Clerk. He is a man Of the people,
well qualified for the position. and
will make a clerk that will give salts
faction to Republicans, Greenbackers
and Democrats.
FRED FISCHER,
of Bourbon. Is the peoples man for
Treasurer. He will not try to run the
Office in such way that nobody will
dare make a canvass against him for
re- denomination. He does not, II elect
ed, expect to hold the office for life;
he is honest and capable, and will
perform the duties of the Office in a
way that will satisfy all patrons, and
he should receive the vote of every
laboring man, farmer, mechanic and
Cudnb lilo COuAlys
JOHN V. ASHLEY,
of Plymouth, received the nomina-
ton for Sheriff. Everybody knows
John, and what is better, knows he Is
Just the kind OF fellow to make a
good officer. If the people do what
they ought his majority will be al
most too big to count.
For Recorder we have honest, SUBJ
stantial. capable,
WILLIAM coNGER,
OF North. No better man for the po-
sition can be found In the county.
JOIN YocKEY,
is Just the man for Surveyor, and the
young men Of the county who want
to cut away from the rings and
the cliques. and who want to give all
a fair chance, will be pleased to vote
for him and the rest OF the ticket.
DIR. CLARK CHAPMAN,
OF Walnut the candidate for Coroner is
an old citizen. a good physician,
a firstrate fellow, and deserves to be
elected by a large majority.
NOAH wILTFoNG,
ofNorth township, is just the man for
Commissioner and as a minority
party ought to be represented, and
both the incumbents belong to the
Democratic party, the Democrats
could not do better thing than to
vote solid for Noah. He is an old
citizen, honest and capable, is identi-
fed with the common people and
will faithfully guard their.interests.
The entire ticket Is just such q
ticket as ought to be elected. and al
this time ought to receive the sup
port OF earnest thinking men OF all
parties.

The Southern Democrats are now
throwing off the mask and coming
out boldly for the old States rights
doctrine. A few years ago IL JEFF
Davis had made a speech embodying
the sentiments expressed in his late
secession speech, all the leading DEM
ocrats would have been quick to de-
clare that they did not reflect the
sentiment of the people Of the South.
or OF the Democratic party. Now all
the Southern papers applaud, call
him patriot statesman" and say
that he speaks the sentiments Of the
people. The Nay Orleans Democrat
says it Is bitter lie to call such men
as Davis traitors and rebels. The
Democrats OF the North are as CON-
pletely under control of the South as
they were before the rebellion, and
whenever the Democracy get control
Of both branches Of Congress, the 3d.
000. 900 OF rebel claims will have to be
paid, the Union men will have to
apologize and take back seats, or the
war will have TO be fought over again.

THE LETTER.


FRANcIsvILLE, Ind. July ~, 1873,
Hon. Schuyler Cclfar, South Bend, Ind.
DEAR SIR:-Would you accept the
nomination on the National Greenback
ticket for congressman in this district =
The southern counties are all alive with
greenback men. We are
talking you down here and would like to
hear from you on the subject in a private
or public way. The speech you made at
a fair in the west on the hard times leads
US to believe you are a sound greenbecker.
Yours respectfully,
M. ii. GORDON, Nj. ID.
Mr. coLFAxs REPLY.
SOUTH BEND. Ind, July 13 70.
My Dear Sir-YOur letter of yesterday,
asking il l would accept the national
greenback nomination for congressman In
this district, is just at hand. / supposed
by this time every voter in this district
aud State understood that could not be
a candidate for any Office whatever. not
being willing to exchange my present en-
joyable and independent life for any Off.
cial position. To be frank with you
however, must add that having been a
"greenbacker" from the outset, and having
for long years vindicated greenbacks be
fore the people, when many who now
claim to be their special champions were
deIiding them and the sacred cause to
sustain which they were issued, as we'll as
predicting their ultimate worthlessness,
am, very naturally. an earnest adherenI
still of the Republican party which au
thorized them, championed them, and
has. by maintenance of the national
faith and credit, brought them up in pur
chasing value, to an equivalent with the
best dollar any nation can claim to have.-
Yours truly.
