AN OLD WAR DEMOCRAT TALKS


year the Henry County Signal, realiz-
ing its inadequacy as a slanderer to libel
the democratic nominees, and mislead
the people into supporting its candi-
dates. conceived an idea that does cred
1t to him as a political trickster. Being
aware by dreary experience, that the
democrats were calloused to the heredi-
tary lies that have appeared from time
to time in the Signal, he knew that if
these same base lies, retouched by an
adept at Misrepresentation and false
hood, could be inserted in a plausible
democratic paper, an advantage could
be thereby gained that his sheet has
thus far been unable to achieve. He
therefore, In cooperation with monied
republicans, interested in the contem-
plated republican nominees, founded
the Advocate. An inventory of the
foul mouthed political thugs was taken
into consideration. and among these
Jack Malley was weighed in the hal
ance and fOunl to stand preeminently
above the rest.
He is an alleged Democrat to whom
truth is stranger than fiction,n and a
veritable Hessian in selling his services
to the highest bidder, regardless of that
which man should value most highly
his honor; a man who hesitates not to
stoop to the vilest depths of falsehood,
in order to meet the expectations of his
unscrupulous buyers; a man who has
had no success in life and to whom it is
corrosive sublimate for his superiors to
advance; man who honestly believes
man possesses no conscience, and o
man who knows no God save that of a
dog, with which he eats and drinks.
Ut may be remarked here and made
authentic by the acquiescence of a COM
munity, that these two CANNES yoked
on the street, are the cause of much
nausea to pedestrians. They attend
lectures and disturb the speaker; enter
ice cream parlors and empty cream on
the floor for the lesser dog and other
wise sympathize with each other. y
Such, briefly, is the editor of the SO
called Peoples Advocate. A plain un-
folding of his character and standing
will clearly show what vulture, under
the guise of Democracy, is making
strenuous efforts to delude the voters of
Henry county into his incoherent and
bitter belief.
John Judas MalIey, when first his
shapely form outlined itself against the
horizon of Henry county, was operator
for the Wabash Railway at Napoleon.
While acting in this capacity he estab-
.lished reputation for his numerous
alterca lions with, and contemplate de-
meanor towards, the travelling public,
besides the many "scraps' with boot
blacks and peanut venders. A multi
plicity of petty and unmanly dealings
are chronicled against him there. A
mention of the way in which he robbed
the messenger boy will suffice to DEM
onstrate his thorough meanness. The
company appropriates sum for COM
pensation to messenger boys. This,
Malley placidly deposited in his ca
pacious pocket, made the messenger
boy sign the vouchers, and audacious-
ly informed him that if he wished any
fees he should tackle the recipients of
messages or 60 without. Although the
!. boy was supporting widowed mother,
he declined to do this and delivered
messages for nothing. A Rev. gen.
tleman, in behalf of the young man, at
tempted conciliation, but was
promptly called q liar and otherwise
grossly insulted by this blasphemer.-
For some unknown cause (please ex-
plain Mr.. Malley) he and the company
issued partnership dissolution, and
Judas was open for job.
1t was when he procured situation
as Insurance agent that the abusive
propensities within him, came to the
front. The writer, at that time, was
in daily anntoaf with vvoo,, of Wan VIZ, ~
and Paulding counties. Through them
he learned that Judas frequented these
parts In search of risks, and that his
manner of procedure was peculiar to
himself and wonder to the natives.
Mr.. -, of Paulding, said: HE
asked me for my patronage, and be-
cause wrs already insured he abused
me to sucn an extent, that I threatened
to call ali officer. My candid opinion
is that he is partially insane"
His employers seeing that they had
unwittingly caught a tartar, seized the
first opportunity to present him ticket
ofindetinite leave and once more this
fusilade champion challenged the world
for position.
Then it was that he contemplated a
brilliant career In the political arena
He came before the Democratic caucus
for the city clerkship and was quickly
discarded by nine-tenths of the entire
vote. He next came out for the nomi-
nation of County Recorder. This Sec
ond attempt to fame and lucative
office, shared the fate of its predecessor.
Never was electioneering done on a
more novel plan than that which he
adopted. His motto was, "The Irish
must support me; can by my forked
tongue intimidate the Americans and
the Dutch can go plumb to HI"
His argument in, capturing votes was:
| y" Hepl Hep!
Tn Jack Malley,
| g You keep step!
| When the result of the election was
made known, he underwent severe
attack of the rabies from which he has
not yet recovered. Like the Immortal
j. N, the street corner was his habi-
tatiOn and on these, the utterances of
his half-crazed brain were vometed
forth to amazed listeners. He damned
his friends and foes alike and vowed
eternal vengeance against his Irish op-
position--Daniel. Hartnett, James Ra-
gan and Michael Donnelly, for ex-
ample. He invariably. completed his
harangue by swearing by high Heaven
to be the means some day of turning
every Office In the county over 10 Re-
publicans. Nor was his fearful abuse
