Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-08-16
And He WhiStled the Same Old
Time

1t had been our intention to deSiSt
in the future from any controversy with
the editor of the Democrat, tor numer-
Gus reasons. One of the principal reas-
onS is. that it makes not a particle of
difference what argument ne may pre-
sent, or how utterly annihilating the
answer may be, he uses the bulldog tao
tics, closes his eyes to all common sense
refutation of charges made, and con
tinueS his dirty filings, originated from
jealous heart that is encased in the
frame work of human being that has
merged into his second childhood. The
universal utterances of the prominent
citizens of our city, are to the effect
that they are sick of newspaper wran-
giles. Nor can they be blamed for TAX
ing such position. What has occurred
before the INDEPENDENT came here. is
not our business; but when it is a CON
tlnued attack upon us it is our priv
lege, as well as our duty, to answer the
mean contemplate sings made for no
ness of the INDEPENDENT.
To fully realize the smallnesS of this
man Mcdonald, is to read in last week S
issue his vaporlngs regarding the fail
ure of the INDEPENDENT to mention
the result of the Nicholson meeting
The date of this gathering was men
toned both in the daily and weekly In
DEPENDENT, but with man like this
royal Duke, who condemns everything
that does not SAVIOR of McDOnaldiSm as
not fit to be associated with the people
of to-day, the fact of the matter is
that the stars of glory that have from
some freak, not been mentioned in
the annals of human progress, cluster
around the brow of this cratic
shower of the quill to such an extent
that he believes the entire community
should bow the knee to his every desire
Such has beens so, SO we are informed
| for years, and now, after persistenttug-
fling at the line, his nose, which fol
years has been buried in the provender
finished by the tax paying public, has
been pulled away from greater portion
of the toothsOme menu, and he endeav-
ors by fair means or foul, to besmircf
with an untruthful pen, any effort that
is put forth by new blood. We are
fully aware of the desire of this would
be Goliath of the antediluvian period
but we propose to disappOint him in his
desire to keep up this controversy
When he talked about our not paying
taxes, we desired to know how much
taxes he paid when he first entered
journalism. 1t was commented on by
a number. regarding the silence that
| followed. He also informed his readers
how he has helped this city in securing
these great improvements, and we have
been tempted to look over the official
documents of the city and learn how
much he has contributed to the adj
vancement of tn, Queen City of Indi
ana. And we might insert right here
that we were told by democrat il
Plymouth, that previous to the issuing
of the INDEPENDENT the Democrat fol
several years past had never used it:
columns for the advancement of on
city. Whether this is true we care not
The present is what we look to.
| When Nc comes out as candidate
for congress, we believe he will give his
readers IA rest on his mouthings regard
ing the INDEPENDENT. AS for the
publishers of this paper they will con
tinue to assist ie every way possible
our beautiful city. Notwithstanding thu
efforts of Mcdonald, the INDEPENDENT
will continue to prosper, and in the neal
future prove itself the standard bearer
of Marshall county, for progressiveness
land push.
