Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-06-06

this canvass so hot for him that he
will not come within thousand votes
of getting chance to use the Office
as means OF keeping himself in the
position.
The nomination for Treasurer hav-
ing been disposed Of,
BALLoTING FOR SHERIFF
commenced. The first ball OF was
Alleman 1, Howe l, Troyer 4, W. II.
Miller 8, Maxey 3, Beals &c, A. Miller
2, Bauer 81, Harris 16. Vinnedge 10.
This vote demonstrated to the
friends of Harris that, although
he had been second in the
primaries, he was nowhere in the
convention, and Dan, who is usually
one of the pleasantest fellows imag-
Unable, felt keenly the means used to
beat him, and gave the leaders
SUCH A CURsING
as will long be remembered. For
more than three long hours the con-
test went on; ballot after ballot was
taken and still no nomination was
made. The pluck exhibited by Vim
hedges friends was wonderful. He
had received but 293 votes in the pri-
maries, only few more than one
third as many as Beals, nearly 200
less that Harris, and 81 less than
Bauer, yet his friends confidently as
serted that was the coming man
and by that very confidence succeed
ed in so impressing the convention
with their opinion, that he gained
from one to two votes on every ballot,
and the eighth ballot was announced
40 for Beals. 26 for Bauer, s for Har-
the ninth ballot was, Beals 43, Bauer
10, Harris 3, Vinnedge AZ. He was
now within one vote OF Beals, and
wild cheer went up from his friends.
The next ballot he came to the front.
Harris still held his three votes, hav-
ing it announced from the stand, at
the beginning of every ballot, that he
was Still candidate, while German
township, steady as clock work, gave
sixteen on every ballot for John
Bauer. When the result OF tho 18th
ballot was announced, Vinnedge had
81, Beals 81, Bauer II. Harris 3. AZ
ter the Secretary had commenced
calling the townships for the 18th
ballot, John Bauer came on the stand,
thanked his friends for standing by
him, and withdrew his name, and
then the shout went up German
township sixteen votes for Yinnedge."
OF course it did not vote that way,
but il had the effect on the conven-
ton that the Vinnedge men intended,
and the
RESULT OF THE THIRTEENTH BALLOT
was, Vinnedge 20, Beals &c, Harris 6;
and Vinnedge was declared the nom-
inee. He stood on the stand, waved
his hat until the cheering and ours
ing had partially subsidized, when he
said "Pve got the nomination and
I'm glad of it. 1 thank my friends
for standing by me through this-I
don't know what you call it,-but I've
got the nomination, and I'm glad"
All of the nominees so far had been
taken from Plymouth. Bourbon was
given to understand that it did not
amount to anything any wa7. and as
for German, one OF the candidates
said, 1--WE can always depend on two
hundred majority from German" but
a steady old German replied. sits
some time till October, and German
township may give majority the
other way" and all at once 1t seemed
to occur to some OF those that had
received nominations, that something
had better be done to satisfy German
township, consequently Klinger, Lew
is and others were unceremoniously
kicked overheard, and
PLACE WAS NOMINATED FOR RECORDER.
A. G. Holtzendorf had received al
most as many votes in the primaries
as all others, but he was friend of
John Bauer and resided in Center
township. and the ring managers had
all the offices in Plymouth that paid
anything, and they generously con-
cluded to nominate Jacob Hoham for
Coroner. In order to satisfy the coun-
try townships that they did not want
all Plymouth men nominated. Philip
Dumph was nominated for Commits
sioner, and the work OF the conven-
ton was ended, except to declare o.
P. Klinger the nominee for County
Clerk, and A. North the nominee for
Surveyor.
Before ballot was taken for can
didates for any office, with the excep-
ton OF Representative, each candi.
date was compelled to pledge himself
to support the ticket nominated. This
was no doubt omitted until after the
nomination for Representative was
made, in order to show Mr. Sumner
that he was not supposed to have any
influence, and they did not care
whether he did or did not support the
ticket. When the candidates for Re-
corder were called upon to pledge
themselves, Geo. Klmble administer
ed parting kick to Messrs. Sumner,
Behrens and Schlarb, by declaring
that he would vote the ticket only so
