NO COMMITTEE MEETING.
Last Saturdays Proceedings a Laugh
able Farce.

Metsker, Boys and a few other
Democrats who are schemeing to dis
rupt the Republican party in Marshall
county have sent out to various pap
ers a statement that a meeting of the
Republican county committee was
held in Plymouth last Saturday at
ernoo and much business of a SEN
sational character transacted.
Nobody knows better than Mr..
Metsker that this statement is not
true. He has been a member of leg
islature, has had considerable exper-
fence in politics and knows that if the
Plymouth school boys had held a
mock committee meeting last Satur-
day and elected a chairman and other
officers Of the Democratic county
committee, it would have been just
as legal and just as binding as the ac-
ton which he styles a meeting of the
Republican committee last Saturday.
Very few people can be hoodwinked
by this scheme of Metsker & Co.
To show the absurdity of any bust
ness being transacted at the Metsker
Boys meeting it is only necessary to
state that no official call for a meet
ing had been made.
The call was issued and signed by
one committeeman only, and did not
state the object of the meeting.
There are sever committeeman in
the township where this man resides
and as none of the other members of
the committee agreed with him it
seems that Metsker and Boys sue
ceeded in making him believe that he
constituted the entire party of Mar
shall county.
Official calls for the meetings of the
Republican county committee will be
signed by w. G.. Hendricks, chairman
and c. NJ. Parks, secretary.
The list of officers and members OF
the Republican committee chosen
regularly under the call of the State,
District and County chairman will be
found in another column. The Off
GERS were chosen at the regular meet
ing called for that purpose, January
Is, and no vacancy has occurred.
We wish TO say right here, as we
have said before that Mr.. Hendricks
is not the chairman of any clique or
faction. He is chairman of the Re
publican party of Marshall county,
and will not use his influence as chair
man to advance the interests of any
faction or any individual. All the Of
GERS of the committee are tried and
true Republicans, men who place the
success of principle above the success
of individuals, men who will make a
long pull, a strong pull and a pull all
together to place Marshall county in
the list of Republican counties of In
diana.
The chairman believes in the good
common sense of the masses, believ-
IS that the rank and file should assist
in nominating as well as in electing
candidates, and that the committee
will not attempt to dictate nomina-
ions but it will do everything posi-
ole to elect the men placed on the
ticket by the Republican county con-
vention and he hopes to have and
will have the assistance of every true
Republican in the county.
The county chairman will know no
factions in this campaign. The Re-
publicans who wished to place some
other mar at the head of the com
mittee will be accorded exactly the
same rights and privileges as those
who voted for him. He believes that
the people should select candidates
and he will do all in his power to
give every mar who asks for a nom
ination on the county, district and
state tickets a fair show, and after
the nominations are mace he will ex-
pect every candidate, every commit
teeman and every Republican to roll
up his sleeves and go to work to elect
the whole ticket.
No member of the county commit
tee who is a true Republican and no
true Republican, who is not a men,
Der of the committee will listen &c a
man or men sent Il to induce them
to assist in destroying the Republican
organization of this county.
