SOME INTERESTING ELECTIONS

The election just held was very
quiet affair. In times past, election
campaigns have been worthy of the
people who took part in them, but
this local election was so quiet one
would hardly know it was being
held.
In looking over my files regard
ing elections. political campaigns,
tickets voted in times past, i find
one that made me think it was not
always so quiet, nor indeed is it
further back than / can recall, that
we had torchlight parades, and pol
ltics was something taken seriously
by the voters. The one to which
refer in particular was a poster used
against Andrew Jackson, in the
campaign of 1892, when he sought
were possible to reproduce the en-
tire poster, but shall describe it
as best l can, hoping you will be
able to visualize it. Mine evidently
was a reduced specimen, used for
publication in a newspaper, as it is
five inches wide and IA inches long.
The upper half is taken up with a
caricature Of Jackson clothed with
the raiment of royalty, with a scep-
labeled "veto" in his left hand. AT
his feet, lies a book labeled "Judici-
ary of the United States" and pa
per labeled Constitution of the
United States" In the background
is a throne. He wears a crown on
his head, and medals on his breast.
The heading over the caricature is
Born to command"

lowing that, in smaller type we find,

power as his gracious brother, Will

A king, who has placed himself
above the laws, as he has shown by
his contempt of our judges. A king,
who would destroy our currency,
and substitute old rags, payable by
no one knows who, and no one
knows where, instead of good silver
as he has shown himself, by ap-
pointing men to office contrary to
the will of the people. A king, who,
while he was feeding his favourites
out of the public money, denied q
pittance to the old soldiers who
fought and bled for our independ-
ence. A king, whose prime min
lister and heir apparant was thought
unfit for the office of ambassador by

lot, of the Morgan County Union
Party, of the year 1862. At the top
is a picture showing soldier hold

it is being saluted on the right by
soldiers and on the left by men
clothed as workmen. The candi-
dates are: Judge of the supreme

UGLY HALLOWEEN PRANK
UPSET MONUMENTS

One of the meanest Halloween
pranks that has been reported, was
perpetrated early Sunday morning,
when boys went into the Chester
hill cemetery and upset about 80
monuments. In so far as we can
learn, none of the monuments were
broken. Some were upset base and
all, and others the base was left
standing. Ray and Kale Ellis and
Jack Young, all of Marion township,
are suspects. However they have
not been placed under arrest. They
are about Is years of age. and it is
thought that others must have been
implicated, since judging from the
size of the monuments, the three
boys alone could not have upset
them. This act of vandalism is not
to be tolerated, and we understand
that action will be taken soon.
