The vote for Parrott represented the Anti Lane strength in the Republican party.
THE DEMOCRAT enjoyed a visit this week from Armstrong Martin, of Powhattan township Mr. Martin probably holds the record of being a Democrat in Brown county more years than any other man He came here a Democrat in 1858 and he has always held to the faith through evil as well as good report. In 1864 the Republicans gave it out cold that the vote in this county must be unanimous for Lincoln and that no Mcclellan men would be allowed to vote There were a number of Democrats in the county, but the feeling was so strong that they were either kept away from the polls or coerced into voting the Republican ticket and Mr. Martin was warned by his friends not to attempt to vote. 'The polling place in Locknane was at the resi- dence of J. S Tyler and the room was full of people when Mr. Martin arrived. There were no printed Democratic tickets and Mr Martin began to write one. While he was writing there was an uproar in the room and the opinion was freely expressed that he ought to be hung. That he was a rebel, a copperhead, a traitor and all the other choice epithets that the stay at home patriots were so glib in using were hurled at him. Henry Monroe, now an honered citi- zen of Fairview, was one of the election judges and when Mr. Martin had finished writing his ticket he said to him, "I would like to know whether this is a free country or not and whether a man can vote as he pleases or whether he must vote according to orders?" Mr. Monroe re- plied, "You can vote as you please." Then said Mr. Martin, "I want to vote for Geo B. Mc- Clellan" and he passed in his ticket. Robert Rhea then spoke up and. said, "So do I and I wish you would write me a ticket." This Mr. Armstrong did and so two votes were recorded for McClellan in Locknane precinct. At the Claytouville precinct Thomas Armstrong also wrote and voted a Mcclellan ticket making three votes in the county .- Kansas Democrat June 17, 1897.
