Money Creek Township History
Politics
McLean County, Illinois

(Transcribed by: Teri Moncelle Colglazier)

In the first settlement of this country, the two parties were Democrat and Federalist; then came the Whigs, and later the Republicans. In early times, the township was Democratic. Latterly, it has been pretty evenly balanced between the Democrats and Republicans. Within the last few years, quite a number have joined the National Greenbackers. [The History of McLean County, Illinois, Chicago: W. LeBaron Jr. & Co., 1879]
