The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1884-09-10

Graham, Hon. Joe Gray and others, had de.
termined to run second time and to this
end had called a meeting at Indianapolis
and then and there bought the nomination
for price manning the sum he would place
in each county,, we felt like entering pro-
test against the whole thing as unclean.
But absorbed in the busy activities OF busy
life, and broken down in spirit by an un-
speakable sorrow, we had no inclination even
for protesting against this great wrong, and
but little courage to lead forlorn hope
against set up iob.'
A Republican mas this to say of Doxey:
And irho is this man? What great service
has he rendered that the success of the party
should be placed in peril by his nomination?
We know him through and through.
He deceived us before. Is thy servant a
dog that be should do this thing? AS sol.
der we honor him, but he is not greater
soldier than Grant, and Grant, be it said,
would not be at all times the most available
candidate on his war record alone. Our
best soldiers here are not for Doxey.n.
Another Republican writing from Ander-
son says: eve must fight the barrel now
not Doxey, but the barrel. Mr.. Metcaf, our
editor and Postmaster, did not support
Doxey before. He will not support him now.
The best men in our county are against him.
The Republican managers of our little ma
| chine were weak enough to give him NOM
ination in this county, where as a general
thing we have had to resort to draft to get
anybody to run, and he bought a victory
with big money, but the Democrats have
| dropped on his little game, and we hope he
will never get majority again. There will
be no more vest-pocket tickets. He can not
be elected. He voted for Myers, the Demo-
cratic Secretary of State, when at the same
time he was Chairman of the Republican
County Central Committee. Colonel Milt
Robinson will verify this charge"
An old Republican farmer of Tippecanoe
| County says: 81 will never vote for Doxey.
have never scratched a ticket; don't want
| to, but 1 went back on my note of hand
once, and am liable to do il again if swim
| dler gets it Y fraud on the wind-pump
| dodge, as he did in this case. 1 thought L
was signing a contract, and found it was
note. This primary election of ours. and
all the job, was the same kind of swindle."
The Noblesville Republican Ledger, pub
lished in Hamilton County, says: Indeed,
we did not then believe that there existed
any serious intention to nominate Mr.. Dox-
| ey again, while it is so well known that his
| bucket-shop methods, when brought into
politics, evoke the earnest opposition and
| condemnation of the honest masses of the
people-Democrats as well as Republicans.
1 put davoioDnants IN
| County and elsewhere in the district, n the
part of Mr.. Doxey and his hired agents,
make it necessary to speak forcibly, it
seems. Let it be remembered that when Mr..
Doxey was foisted upon the party in the
special election, by a majority OF only a
committee of six men, land while he
| was wholly unknown in our district poll
ties, it was openly charged and never denied,
because it was true, that he obtained the
place by the corrupt use of his bucketshop
bril-. Let it be remembered that that NOM
ination, under the circumstances, fell like q
black pail upon the Republicans of this
country-so much so that honest men looked
each other in the face in grim silence, as
to say, Has it come to this? Is there no
longer honor in menP"
We are indebted to our esteemed friends
of the Upton Times for much of this data.
We trust that the Republicans of the Ninth
District may read and ponder over it.
Doxey's election would be disgrace to the
State of Indiana. Let decent Republicans
vote for Judge Ward. He is a gentleman of
ability and culture, with clean record. At
all events scratch" Doxey. Let it be such
scratch" as he will remember all the days
OF his life.
