CAMPAIGN INCIDENT OF
1856 BROUGHT TO MIND
Republican Boys of Logansport
Made and Raised Flag in
Honor of THE Pathfinder.
REPUBLICANS WERE FEW

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind. April 4.-Interest
in the coming state Republican convention
has brought out a number of men who re-
call incidents of the first organization of
the party in Indiana. David c. Lee, of
Logansport. tells of the excitement in this
part of Indiana attending the first cam
paign. He was eleven years old at the time.
In September, 1856, with a number of
schoomates, he went to the woods near his
home in Madison township, Upton county,
and cut thirty-foot white ash fagpole 10
raise in defiance of his Democratic neigh
bors. In the process the boys narrowly es-
capped being killed by the falling of the tree.
They had no flag. so they made one. A
sheet furnished the background. One cor
ner was cut out and a field made from a
blue calico apron. White buttons, as near
ly star-shaped as boyish jack knives could
hack them, were sewed on for stars. Then
field with pokeberry juice. The first rain
washed out the colors. but the boys kept
the flag up till after Christmas, refusing to
believe, in those days of slow cOmmunica-
ton, that their party had been defeated.
In Mr.. Lees precinct that year there were
only two more Republicans than were re-
quired for the board of elections, though
the precinct took in half the township. Four
years later they celebrated a Republican
victory by drilling StumpS, plugging them
with gunpowder and exploding them.

cilmen, DIR. w. NJ. Miller and Dr. j. Wal

Mayor Forkner made little speech say
ing that during the past administration all
promises as To improvements had been
kept the streets being improved and pub
lie buildings erected. The Democrats went
into office at the last election on plea or

been the most extravagant one Anderson

ment before the coroner, testified that he

James Lane corroborated Thomas's testi-
mony and also said that Seward had told
