Election in 1831:
The election in this county in 1831 was close. There were two papers, one on each side - the "Friend" being the organ of the opposition to the Jackson Administration, theirs being called the "National Republican Ticket." The "Western Republican," started by John Brough, January 1831, was the organ of the Jackson men, who called theirs the "Democratic Republican Ticket." Gov. Brough was then only about twenty years of age and the "Friend" speaks of him as "Muster Brough."
