EditorI IntsIigepeer
Considerable Of q sensation has been
started here within the past few days. It
has been charged BY some Of theknoWing
Of the Boutbons that there was o corup-
ton fund Of $500 sent here into Hancock
county to buy up that part ofthepurchas-
able vote belonging to the Democracy that
the Register has been whining about. 1t is
charged that O. McFlannigan and o. s.
Marshall, Of Fairyiew, received the funds
for distribution; McFlannigan $500, and
Marshall $500. This story has about as
much foundation as the one thrown out
by the moral Register 10 the effect that
John A. Hutchinson had $4,000 In this
district to pull him through,
We have discussed considerable money
during the campaign, but It was all done
in legitimate way, purely for campaign
purposes, such IS fitting out our marching
clubs, for hall rent, for bands, &c, but not
a cent for the purchasing OF votes. Han.
cock county did her whole duty and did 1t
In an honorable way. Only one thing In
the whole campaign was illegitimate, and
It cost US dearly, but this was not done by
any OF the committees but rather by per.
sonal effort, and consequently our expec.
tatlons we're not realized. There Is an old
and true saving, 100 many cooks spoil the
BROTH"
The Republican marching club Of this
place has rendered an invitation TO Hon.
John A. Hutchinson to be here on next
Thursday evening, the 18th, TO participate
in banquet and reception given in his
honor for the magnificent canvass he has
mads against Colonel Ben. We feel that
be was and Is safe leader and deserves
honor for whipping the willy Ben OF every
point. The affair will be a success because
our people never half do thing, and We
feel that 1t Is not saying too much to pre-.
dict success. We will give him such q
reception as only Hancock county knows
how to give conquoring hero, for such he
is.
Business here Ia assuming an activity
not surpassed for many years. Money
matters are easier than they have been
since the panic OF 1873, and every body Is
very busy. The most Of our brick yards
are about through for the season and there
are fewer brick In stock than are generally
known ut this season OF the year. Nearly
all the yards have made more than their
quota, and still the Association will not
have near enough brick to supply their
demands.
Our people are casting about to arrange
the programme for their usual winter
amusements. The Literary Society Is an
nuunced to convene on Friday evening,
the 10Th, and will open with good pro.
gramme. The question for debate is, "Re-
soitvd, That such q campaign as We have
| lust gone through has demoraliZing effect
upon the people," This, no doubt, will
be ably handled and will elicit considera.
BILE attention from the people who will
turn ont to hear 1t discussed. Then the
singing class are preparing o cantata to be
given to the public about Christmas, be-
sides Musical Convention from the lat
to the 18th OF December, with q concert.
A great number Of new hats have ap.
peared upon our streets since the election,
and by the way, arc oil worn by Republi::
cans. Considerable betting was INDUCED
in upon the results. One man bet all the
spare cash he had and then fell back upon
his old wagon, and nov ho has to ride
horseback. II Is not necessary to say that
he voted for Hancock and Col. Ben. Some
novel bets, such as wheelbarow rides. &C.,
were entered into, which will be fulfilled
as soon as circumstances will permit.
