George W. Kelsall

The question has been propounded in these words-who is this man Kelsall whom 
the Republicans are running for the Legislature? Well, he is a resident of 
Canton, where he conducts a little grocery store, with the post office in one 
corner. He is known to no one as ex-supervisor, but he is known to have run 
for that office once and was badly beaten. He was a private in the Army and 
displayed no more ability than did the average soldier, for which he has been 
very liberally rewarded by the post office for a number of years. He has 
marked business qualities which consists of giving short weights and obtaining 
good prices too. He is also known to be a bitter partisan who believes in 
giving Democrats “no quarters” when an advantage is obtained. He is also known 
by both Democrats and Republicans of his own township and neighborhood to be 
unfit for the place he now seeks. It is safe to say that he will not only be 
defeated, but will run behind his ticket, when it is known that many 
Republicans will vote for his opponent.
