Mileage Again.

The Wayne County Wing is very on the mileage
question The readers OF the Sentinel will bear US out
in the assertion that very favorable Mr..
Julians election but ankness compels to say that
if there is other objection to Mr. Juans reelection
than the mileage he received, trust he may
be successful Ii is a and impotent assault.
What mileage did Caleb B. Smith receiyel What was
Mr.. RaFiden's mileage! Answer these questions Mr..
Wing. We have the documents to show. If all the
great issues be abandoned and Mr. Parkers eee
ton is to depend the mileage question: then it will be
necessary to rake up the old documents, and will
see whether our Wing friends present unspotted
garments. Mr.. Parker find not much over
i've hundred miles, says the Wing. Will Mr.. Parker
pledge himself take than pay for five hundred
milesl He may pledge himself to his exertons to
repeal the law This would be all right and proper
but say he wond take less than the law allows him.
and leave the balance in the Treasury divide il out
among his constituents would be stretch demagogue
ism which member Of Congress has been guilty
of, and we cannot believe Mr.. Parker will do So
We trust he will meet Mr.. Julian the great issues
before the country, and suffer the contest
