EuIioE, MOi-xTAI% DEMOCRAT An ego
ti>tical fellow, who ia a passion for scrib.
bling nonScnse. IL the last PiGret'llIe
.Im,ricqa. over the signature Of flick, ~
would have the people bclic'e t'tot the
Weller mcn.-tic men who wcrc IN the
majority III the u. inc.Iaiic County Con-
veaiia.i and n"iiiiat-i Mtir i.Hds ard
hyoIitcs-wcrc I'll" LoItors at tho last
election. The statement is Sap:r:a'lv RI
dirulou> and car:i.- un is l:.,'- "a false
hood. No man who has anr regard for
hi; integrity would make such silly
charge.
# is no doubt true that the people ev-
crywherc, this year. voted more indepeh-
del tly than usual, but 30 far as this pre-
cinct stands, the hO!ting was confined al
most exclusively 70 the ''Opposing wing.
They. and they alone, desired iiic defeat
Of the regular Eoninccs of the Democrat
ic party; for they, and not the Weller
men, w0u'd have been benefited by such
defeat. They, with few, Il 'crY fer
exccptionS-l speak from personal obscr-
vation-votcd against Wcllcrand the 9TH
cr nominees; anil what IS infinitely worse,
they voted for Sunly, who ha> always
beet. is get and i'F4.iisises ere.- IL be,
bitter opponent Of the Democracy. and
Pick" voted with them. Although nc
is the correspondent Of II pseAdO Ameri-
can journal and would have Us believe
hc is a member Of the American party,
there is not bit Of truth in it, lie is a
Brodcrirkitc, and voted and worked with
the B:odcrickitcs in the primary meeting
held here in June last.
He speaks OF the vote on that occasion
as being 3np for the Weller %i,.E. which
is tr,:c. but fnrgrt> TO state at the same
time that the Frederick wing. with which
he acted, cast 30 votes. Where were
they at the recent election, when the en-.
tire vote for Weller was only Ia: 1t i:
not probable that Wcllcr's friends desert
ed Him after they had worked 80 hard tr
secure his nomination; nor iS il probGbic
that the men who bitterly opposed hin
at our primary meeting. suddenly became
his trucst friends The stupidity Of thc
charge is only cqn.!ed by the vanity ant
Stiffness of tlIr iDcoTrupt.bIe lick
The men with whom "Pick" acted botl
at onr primary meeting and at the lat

Since they nave been defeated, they >ecl

! hence these same bo,tcis i'll claim to b
consistent Democrats.
As 10 tIvras" 10 wLirh "i'irk" alluded
: the gentleman may have voted ngain>
: Capt. Bogar'iiis, as one of the Captain
opponents was his intimate persona
friend. and he wished IL see him get
fail vote at home but that he election
cercd against BogarduS. is mt true. Bu
what did Pick do To- defeat a part q
the regular ticket: Perhaps lie is no
