RECAPITULATION.

The number of Masonic lodges in Randolph County, so far as learned, is nine; the number of degrees conferred, about twelve hundred; the membership at present, about three hundred and thirty.

There may be, perhaps, other lodges. but their statements have not reached us. In fact, many lodges have failed entirely to re- spond to the request respectfully tendered them to furnish a resumé of their history for insertion in the present volume, which fact must be the reason for so brief a mention of their affairs.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

: Inrincible Lodge, No. 84, Union City .- The Knights of Pythias were established a few years ago at Washington, by one Mr. Dunlap. It was intended for the benefit and protection of Goverment employes at the capital and elsewhere .. The or- ganization has spread, however, and lodges have been formed through the United States, and even in foreign countries. The motto of the order is " Friendship, Charity and Benevolence."

The Invincible Lodge of Knights of Pythias at Union City, No. 84, was formed June 2, 1879. The charter members were fifteen: J. B. Ross. George W. Wiggs, Pierre Gray, Bayard S. Gray, John O. Ewan, E. A. Bradbury, David Kahn, Joseph Loh- man, George W. Patchell, L. H. Ball, Adolphus Adams, R. Kirsenbaum, John D. Smith, Ezra Thomas, C. Brandebury.

The officers at first were: Pierre Gray, Chancellor Com- mander; Charles G. Tritt, Vice Chancellor; Bayard S. Gray, Prelate ; George W. Patchell, Master of Arms; L. H. Ball, Keeper of Records and Seals; George W. Wiggs, Master of Ex- chequer; J. D. Smith, Master of Finances.

The present number of members is about fifty.

The lodge is in a flourishing condition. They meet once a week, on Thursday night, and choose their officers every six months.

The association is composed mostly of young men, and has met with general favor, and especially from the ladies, who have proffered to the lodge banquets and toasts. The anniversary is commemorated by special exercises, and the society has been the means of affording satisfaction and innocent enjoyment to its members, and to all who have been connected with its opera- tions, or who have in any way contributed to its comfort.

Through the agency of Lodge No. 84, a lodge was estab- lished also at Winchester, which is in successful progress.

The officers at the present time are: George W. Wiggs, C. C .; J. D. Smith, V. C .; M. A. Harlan, P .; H. D. Grahs, K. of R. and S .; James M. Starbuck, M. of E .; Pierre Gray, M. of F .: Bayard S. Gray, P. C.

Winchester Lodge, No. 91 .- Through the efforts of Knights Ed Bradbury. Pierre Gray, George Wiggs and others, of In- vincible Lodge, No. 84, Winchester Lodge, No. 91, Knights of L'ythius of the Grand Jurisdiction of the State of Indiana, was instituted at Winchester, on the night of the 13th of April, 1880, with the following charter members and officers: I. W. Study,

HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY.

P. C .; C. L. Lewis, C. C .; J. W. Thompson, V. C .; G. E. Leg- gett, P .; B. F. Boltz, K. of R. and S .; C. E. Ferris, M. of F .; J. A. Thomas, M. of E .; W. A. O' Harra, M. atA. ; George Hiatt, I. G .; Ellis Kizer, O. G .; and Knights J. S. Kemp, Gideon F. Shaw, John H. Gill, H. D. Moorman and M. C. Gaffey.

There were present at the institution Knights from Union City, Richmond, Cambridge City, Muncie, Portland and Deca- tur, numbering, in all, about one hundred and ten. At 6 o'clock, before work was begun, a lunch was served in John Richardson's storeroom, on the southeast corner of the square, prepared by the ladies of the Christian Church. At 7 o'clock, the work of conferring the ranks of Page and Esquire began, and lasted until midnight. The hungry Knights and frightened Esquires then repaired to a banquet which the same ladies had prepared, and which bore evidence of their taste and skill.

A braver set of Knights never left a castle hall and marched over creaking draw-bridge than those who filed out of that ban- quet hall, with brightness and beauty behind. Fresh zeal was given as the quiet Palmer, who sat in the arched doorway, whis- pered, "Keep to the left, brave men; no railing on the right."

The work of' conferring the Knight rank was completed and the officers installed about 4 o'clock, A. M., whereupon the weary Knights sought their welcome couches.

Since the institution, the lodge has had regular weekly meet- ings, with two exceptions, and has conferred the ranks upon the following-named persons: William Linkersdorfer, E. P. Smith, James A. Lesley, C. O. Irvin, Gus L. Guthiel, G. W. Long. necker, W. S. Harper, W. P. Needham, J. E. O'Harra. B. F. Marsh, E. S. Jaqua, W. A. Edger, W. W. Canada, L. A. Thomas, C. C. Yunker, Alvin Miller, W. P. Harris and E. H. Addington, and now has a membership of thirty- four.

The I. O. O. F. Lodge very kindly tendered their hall for in- stitution purposes, and, since that time, the same hall has been used by the K. P.

The lodge has three times successfully given the beautiful and touching drama of "Damon and Pythias," assisted and conducted by Prof. D. Hanchett.

After its institution, the lodge had an indebtedness, on ac- count of property and other things, of $150.

It is now free from debt, with a healthy surplus in its ex- chequer.

No deaths have occurred since the organization of the lodge. Knight L. W. Study, in 1881, and Knight C. L. Lewis, in 1882, were Representatives to the Grand Lodge.

IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN, 1. O. O. R.

Mississinewa Tribe, No. 62, Union City .- The name of the or- der was originally Iudependent Order of Red Men, and as such has existed for many years.

The lodge in Union City was formed January 22, 1879.

We can give no accurate statement as to the I. O. O. R., as to the time of establishment, principles, objects, number of lodges and what not. An account was promised us for insertion, but none has been furnished, and no data froin which we could ourselves prepare such a statement concerning this comparatively new and somewhat uniqne society.

The members at the first were the following:

J. S. Bowers, O. A. Baker, Stephen Clevinger, F. H. Lewis- ton, Henry W. Leisure, W. B. Harlan, J. A. Green, S. M. Went- worth, H. C. Vening, D. J. Wise, W. H. Lawrence, J. C. Meier, W. Turpen, C. W. Voorhees, John Lawrence, Samuel Curtner, N. W. Cooper, F. H. Rodman, Elmer Hornbarger, J. W. Sugart, J. A. Hoover, J. W. Williams, G. W. Purdue, C. W. Huffman, Joseph Schronz, William Reeves, W. A. Orr, G. W. Lawrence, J. L. Heck, J. Hirsch, A. C. Throp, W. S. Murray, J. W. Myers, G. W. Burns. J. A. Armstrong, Charles Covey, J. Thomas, B. F. Julian, J. P. Standt. The officers are given below:

I. H. Green, W. S .; W. A. Orr, S. S .; J. L. Heck, J. S .; J. H. Herdman, W. P .; W. B. Harlan, C. of R .; J. S. Bowers, K. of W.

The lodge of Red Men in Union City has had but a brief ex- istence, but the progress has been satisfactory, and the members feel encouraged to persevere in the work upon which they have entered.

NOTE. -- The G. A. R. has lately been extended to Randolph County. Two posts have been forined-Union City and Win- chester-the former established in November, 1881, and the lat- ter in April, 1882. .

CHAPTER XVII. POLITICAL.

RANDOLPH County would seem to have been largely Dem- ocratie in early times, or else non-partisan.

Charles Conway, Clerk and Recorder for twenty-one years, was a Democrat. Jeremiah Smith, long a prominent official; Beattie McClelland, Daniel B. Miller, George Debolt, James Brown, Andrew Aker, etc., were Democrats, and they all were elected to offiee.

But, however it may have previously been, 1840 saw a com- plete change, for the "hero of Tippecanoe" swept the county and the region like a whirlwind. The country never witnessed such another campaign as that of 1840. Not even during the war, nor since, was the nation so lashed into fury as it was by the simple song of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."

"And with them we'll beat little Van, Van, Van is a used up man, With them we'll beat little Van."

The rise of the Liberty party eame near giving Randolph County to the Democrats again. The canvass of 1844 found but nine majority for Clay. And for years the Anti-slavery vote, which came very largely from the Whig side, kept the county nearly upon a balanee. But when the Whig ranks broke, never to rally again. the Republican party took an immense majority; and that majority has been maintained, for the most part, ever sinee. The year 1880 gave that side more than twenty-two hun- dred majority.

Two townships have formerly been, and are to this day, very strongly Democratie-Jaekson and Ward. Nettle Creek and Franklin have a large Democratic vote, but the other townships are overwhelmingly the other way. Some of the precincts have scarcely any Democratic voters.

HARRISON CAMPAIGN.

Gen. Stone gives some reminiscences of the Harrison cam- paign, in which he was a young but wide-awake actor. He says: "The country was wild with enthusiasm. A company of men, went by wagon and via Indianapolis to the Harrison meet- ing at Tippecanoe battle-ground. We were gone three or four weeks, camping out every night. On the way, as we went, one fellow, a long distance away, showed a petticoat. (Old William Allen, an Ohio Democrat, and not very long ago Governor of Ohio, had charged that Gen. Harrison was so cowardly that the ladies of Chillicothe had presented him a petticoat, and the thing was seized on as a campaign argument, and a signal that maddened the Whigs, moreover, as a red rag is said to infnriate a raging bull.)

"This fellow flaunted a petticoat, and we went for him across lots. He was caught after a long chase, and he begged pitifully, making all sorts of pleas and promises, and was let go.

"Hundreds of people from Randolph attended the rally at Greenville, for the old hero was there himself, and the people gathered almost en masse, from great distances, to see and to hear him.

"Another .charge, made against Harrison by way of sneer, that he lived in a log cabin and drank hard cider, was turned by the popular enthusiasm into a token of honor ; and 'log cabins ' and ' hard cider' became the watchwords and party signals of the time.

"Headquarters were made of log cabins, and hard cider was

214

HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY.

set forth in every conceivable way. Old men would have minia- ture cider barrels as heads to their canes, and show them proudly as they came to vote.

" Thousands and thousands of poles were erected. insomuch that the towns and villages seemed like a harbor, filled with masts of every height and size."

The assembly at Greenville, before mentioned, is said to have numbered 100,000 persons, and the enthusiasm and labor ex- pended in gathering such a crowd then would more easily gather a million now.

They came from Kentucky, from Indiana, from Michigan. More than three hundred ladies came from Kentucky.

Obe delegation from a river county came with a monster canoe on wheels, drawn by ten white horses and containing twenty- seven young ladies.

The chief speeches were made by Tom Corwin, the " Buck- eye wagon-boy," then in his prime, and the best stump speaker in America; and Gen. Harrison, who was a good, though not a great speaker.

Mr. Stone says: "Fully one thousand people went from Randolph. A company of 100 men in uniform marched under command of Josiah Montgar. The trip took three days, and we were a jolly crowd. There came near being a tragedy, however, at Jehu Robinson's (on the Kemp place). He was a hot Demo- crat, and put up the petticoat. The boys ' went for' the rag. The Robinson company undertook to keep it up, and for a brief space, matters looked serious. They got it down, however, and it stayed down while the procession passed.

"To the Richmond meeting we took a log cabin on wheels, drawn by thirteen yoke of oxen, the trip occupying five days.

"The load went afoot till near the town, and then they mounted the wagon and rode into town in all their glory.

"Many were on horseback and rode as cavalry, with whom a laughable incident occurred.

"As we passed a fine mansion, some ladies were gathered. and they marched down to greet us in a large group, singing as they came, and carrying 'Tippecanoe' flags. As they got near ns, we were ordered to salute our visitors, which was done by a drawing of sabers. The movement made such a racket that the ladies, not knowing what it meant, were scared nearly to death. ranning, screaming, hiding behind trees, etc. The men were greatly chagrined to think they had frightened away their gentle visitors, and rode off completely cowed."

One very important factor in the accomplishment of the sweeping political revulsion of that year was a speech in Con- gress by Mr. Bond, a member from Obio, purporting to show in detail the immense extravagance of the party then in power. Those speeches were scattered by the million, "thick as leaves in Vallambrosa," and they were read, and the people were wild with indignation, and the old and whilom lionored Democratic party was crushed as with a resistless whirlwind under the tempest of popular indignation that tore through the land.

MASS MEETINGS.

In later years, immense political gatherings have been had in Randolph. Among them have been the rally at Union City to hear Gov. Morton in 1876; the rally at Winchester, in the same campaign, to listen to Robert G. Ingersoll, a most famous ora- tor; the monster rally at Winchester to welcome Hon. A. G. Por- ter, Republican candidate for Governor in 1880, etc.

A most interesting occasion was the meeting to listen to the speech of Gen. Ben Harrison at Union City in 1880, on the eve of the election. Though not intended for a rally, and though held at night, yet the people gathered in a crowd of three to four thousand, coming for miles and miles, and showing immense en- thusiasm.

Of course, the Democratic party made rallies also, and did well, but they could not rival the Republicans in such a county as oid Randolph. They showed their pluck, however, bravely holding their ground in the face of overwhelming odds and do- ing their best in the State campaign which came so near being a success that half a dozen votes in each township would have turned the scale and given them the Presidency.

GREENBACKISM.

The Greenback party has made some, though small, headway in the county, amounting to a few hundred out of seven or eight thousand voters of all sorts.

" PRIMARY ELECTIONS."

It is a peculiar feature of Randolph political methods that the nomination of candidates for offices among the Republicans has been. for twenty years or more, effected by direct popular pri- mary elections.

Many voters are greatly dissatisfied with the method, think- ing that it aggravates the evils it was intended to cure; and strong efforts were made, at the primary elections in the spring of 1880, to change the method; but without success, since a ma- jority of several hundred was cast in favor of the continuance of the system.

EPISODE.

A somewhat remarkable episode in politics occurred in 1878, in this county. Two of the successful candidates of the nomi- nating election of that year were singled out and charged, though probably withont good reason, with having used unfair means to secure their nomination. A concerted movement was set on foot for their defeat, and the disaffected joined with the Democrats in a convention which named one Democrat and one Republican for the two offices referred to above. The movement was so strong that the ordinary Republican majority of seventeen to eighteen hundred was cut down to some three hundred or there- about. as to these two candidates.

TENURE OF OFFICE.

A remarkable change has come to pass from the customs of "auld lang syne " as to the tenure of offices.

Charles Conway was Clerk twenty-one years. W. C. Will- more was Recorder fourteen years. George W. Monks was Clerk for fourteen years. Many have held their positions for six and eight years.

But the business has grown so immensely, vastly increasing the fees and salaries of the various offices, that a single terin, even of two years. is thought to be enough to make a man rich. And so the fashion now is to give each fellow "one pull at the teat." and choke him off to give "the next pig a chance."

The salaries have been, indeed, and still are, far too high, and many think that the fact is injurious to the public service. Certainly the ignoring the value of experience in official station is a reversal of all recognized rules of business in private life, and can scarcely fail to inflict serious and permanent loss upon the public interest.

KNOW -NOTHINGISM.

Know-Nothingism took a brief and evanescent hold in Ran- dolph County. Lodges of " Native Americans " were formed in several places, soon, however, dying out.

It is worthy of remark that a gentleman who, for many years. has been a prominent and influential Democrat in the State of Ohio, who was also of genuine Democratic stock, was an active member of a Know-Nothing lodge in Randolph County during the summer of 1854 or thereabout.

ANTI-SLAVERY -- FREE-SOILISM-REPUBLICANISM.

The anti-slavery cause took very strong hold upon the public heart of Randolph. The Free.Soil movement made still greater headway, and the Republican party swept away all opposition; and for almost a generation, Randolph County has been over- whelmingly Republican, giving, at the last Presidential election, about twenty-two hundred majority for that party. A few men have stood firm as Democrats, though it must be said that some of the chief partisans of that side in Randolph at the present time, are gentlemen who were, years ago, anti-Democratic.

Col. and ex-Gov. I. P. Gray was for years a Republican, reaching the State Senato as the candidate of that party.

Gideon Shaw and Benjamin R. Shaw, Esqs., now prominent Democrats, were Whigs before the war.

Some have, however, retained their own original standing, or

J. M. HODSON.

John Milton Hodson was born August 24, 1839, in Clinton County Ohio. His father, Matthew Hodaon, was & farmer in that county, and remained there until 1852. In that year, he removed to Hancock County, Ind., and in 1867 to Rush County, Ind., where he died in 1873, at the age of seventy-nine years. He was s member of the Society of Friends, and in the ante-bellum days was a pronounced Abolitionist. He acted iu concert with the managers of the famous " Underground Railroad," and often sheltered fugitive slaves, and assisted them on their way to liberty He was a man who always occupied & high place in the estimation of those who knew him, and was always recognized as a good citizen and an honorable man. His son, J. M., was reared on the farm, and gained a good English education in the common schools. Subsequently, he at- tended an excellent school at Westland, Hancock Co., Ind., conducted by the Friends, and later was a student in the Normal School st Lebanon, Ohio, completing the scientific course. By his previous . preparation, he was well qualified for the profesion of school teaching, which he adopted in 1856. He taught two years in Hancock Connty, Ind., and was simi- larly engaged for a year in the adjoining county of Hamilton, and for a period of sixteen years, was engaged in teaching in the counties of Han- cock, Hamilton, Rush, Henry, Hendricks and Randolph, respectively. From 1867 to 1869. he held the office of School Examiner of Rush Coun- ty, Ind .; he was Superintendent of the Schools of Knightstown, Ind., for one year, having under his supervision seven teachers and 500 pupila He served two years in the same capacity at Plainfield, Ind., where there were six teschers and 450 pupils. A8 & tescher, he always ranked highly. and gained the good will of the scholars, while under his supervision the achools were marked by progress and improvement.

In 1872, Mr. Hodson came to Winchester, and in July of that year purchased & half interest in the Winchester Journal, of which he was joint proprietor for nine years, or until July, 1881, when he sold his in- terest to his partner, Mr. Beeson.

Mr. Hodson is yet comparatively a young man, but his life has been a busy one, and the energy and enthusiasm with which he has entered into his labors have been fairly successful and repaid from s financial standpoint. He is not a member of any religious denomination, is s Unitarian in belief, yet most liberal toward all candid opinions of others.

He is an active member of the Masonic order. He was made a Mason in 1865, and took the Master Mason's degree later in the same year ; and in 1869 took the Chapter, Council degrees, and, in 1870, Knights Templar degrees. In politics, he ia an enthusiastic Republican, having been identified with that party ever since he was old enough to vote. He is an uncompromising temperance man, and has rendered effective service to the cause by precept and example. He is in all respects & good citizen and a valued member of society.

On the 17th of October, 1861, Mr. Hodson was united in marriage with Miss Marths A. Rawles, of Stark County, Ohio. After twenty years of devotion and affection, she was called from earth, in the winter of 1881, while sojourning in Florida with the hope of recruiting her health. She was an excellent Christian lady, an ornament in society, and the favorite of all who knew her and felt her gentle influence. Three of their children preceded the mother to the home beyond the grave, while one, a bright little girl, gives fine promise for the future.

Hc ia zealous and energetic as a teacher, and by his mild. yet firm manner, has won the regard and confidence of all, both teachers and scholars. As a neighbor and citizen, he is highly esteemed by all who know him, for his sociability and amiable bearing toward all.

They had a family of ten children, of whom five sons and three daughters now survive. Of the aona, two are practicing physicians, one an engineer, one a sewing machine agent, another a farmer, and the fifth a successful school teacher and superintendent. The latter is the subject of this aketch. His early life was passed like that of the average farmer boy of early days, excepting that the schools which he attended in the winter were of a higher order than was customary at that period-alge- bra, geometry aud the higher mathematics being among the studies pur- sued. In early life, he decided to adopt the teacher's profession, and that his choice was well taken, the after years proved. At the first, school teaching was the medium through which he acquired the means for con- tinuing and completing his studies. He was seventeen years old, when he taught his first school, and for three or four years following, he taught in the winter, attending Spiceland Academy during the summer. After leaving the academy, he was engaged as a teacher in the graded school at Milton, Wayne Co., Ind., in which capacity he acted from 1867 to 1869 He then became Superintendent of the public schools at Lawrenceburg Ind., the achool having twelve grades. He discharged the duties of this position satisfactorily to all, for a period of five years, and at the end of that time removed to Attica, Ind., where he accepted a similar position in a school of nine gradea, and in addition, acted as Deputy County Superintendent for one year. In 1877, he took charge of the public
