Words With the Patrons of the g. Re.
publican.1

Only week has passed since we
took possession of this office; since
then scores OF the good citizens of
Plymouth and vicinity, regardless of
party, have called and given US
hearty welcome.
We thank you, friends. one and all,
for your words Of sympathy and en-
couragement. We feel that, with the
help Of such noble men and women,
we can make the REPUBLICAN one of
the best papers in Northern Indiana.
We believe that you will do your
part. The Republicans of Marshall
county cannot afford to do without
an organ at Plymouth. that will work
increasingly to advance the principles
which they believe to be correct.
The Democrats are, or should be.
almost as much interested in having
live, wide-awake Republican paper
here, as we ourselves are. With their
four or five hundred majority in the
county, they need an opposition paper
to criticize the action of county Of
ficials, and Of the men who present
themselves as candidates for Office.
Not that the Democrats of Marshall
county are any less honest than a
like number Of Democrats or Repub-
icans similarly circumstanced any
where else, but in government like
ours two parties are absolutely nee
essary to its preservation; and two
papers, differing politically, are just
as much a necessity in every county.
We are strangers now. but we shall
not be strangers long; and we expect
to stand or fall on our own merits;
but IL we make our paper what it
ought to be-a paper OF which the
citizens OF our city and county may
feel Justly proud we shall have to
expend a great deal of money. Our
hands must be paid every week, and
our rent, fuel. light, paper, &C., all
cost money. During the past week
many OF our friends have gladdened
US with supply of the needful; and
and we hope the friends CT the paper
throughout the county will use some
effort to help US. We are not dun
ming you; we believe we have as good
list OF paying subscribers as can be
found any where, but there are some
who are in arrears. Personally, we
are unacquainted with them-do not
know what their intentions are. Let
US hear from you, friends, or drop in
and see us; you will always find the
latch-string out. To the active, wide
awake Republicans Of the county, and
to the Democrats who see the neces-
sity OF a good opposition paper in the
county, we say you can help us ma
terially by showing the paper to your
friends. and thus occasionally bring
ing us a new subscriber.
Again, we have all the facilities for
doing good job work, and we have
one OF the best job printers to be
found any where. II you want sale
bill, circular, a poster. a dodger, a
card. or anything else OF the kind,
come to the Republican office and
you shall be more than satisfied"
We shall do our best to give you a
good paper, and at all times to give
you the worth of the money we re-
ceive.
To our corps of correspondents
throughout the county, we wish to
say, continue to send us the news
We fully appreciate you, and under.
stand tina. We cannot succeed In max
ing good local paper without your
help. When you come to town be-
sure to call in and see US, we want to
get acquainted with you, one and all
