Fletcher P. cuppy. Of the Firm Of Davis
and Cnnnv-Hin Court Ranord.


and cuppy -His Court Record.
This erratic genius has been up for dis
play only a short time, but has already
shown himself to be m ost perfect political
trickster. His business in our courts has
generally been CRIMINAL, and for that Of the
firm Of Davis q Cuppy. OF lhe latter we
intend speaking The firm Of Davis q Cup.
py is pretty widely Known; its fame has
reached through all parts Of this county and
adjoining counties, wherever there is money
to lend, AT ANY RATE of interest, and
wherever there are oppressed business men,
wishing for short time, small amount Of
cash, and willing to give any rate Of inter-
est rather than sacrifice their all. These
men know the firm Of Davis & Cuppy to
their hearts content
Fletcher P, peddles about a most pitiful
tale of his poverty of David Davis propos,
ing that he should become partner in the
Insurance business; Of two sets Of books
being kept Of his accommodating Davis
with the use Of his name as matter Of con-
venienoe in their books; of his not receiving
anything.for such accommodation, and never
having taken any usurious interest," and Of
his never having Aeeced poor mechanics out
of their earnings This is the tale; and to
those acquainted with Fletcher p It certain
" shows very great Inconsistency, if moth
ing more But its falsity we herewith--from
the Court Reeord-fully establish.
We take the following from a book enti.
tied, "Acts of General Nature" passed by
the 5Oth General Assembly Of the State Of
Ohio Page 81, Title 3D.. Parties to Civil
Actions section %.
Every Action must be prosecuted IN the nGmt
of the real party in interest, except AZ otherwise
provided as in Section q.
SECTION 27.--An executor, administrator
guardian, trustee Of m express trust, person
with whom, or in whose name, contract is
made for the benefit Of another, or person ex
pressly authorized may bring an action without
joining with him the person for whose benefit
il is prosecuted. Officers may sue and be sued
in such name as is authorized by law, aud Off
cial bonds may be sued upon ia the same way
By perusal of the above, it will be seer
that only an INTERESTED party can bring q
suit in bis own name. We're Fletcher p
Cuppy not interested in the firm of Davis &
Cuppy, suit should be brought in the name
of David Davis, doing business under the
firm name of Davis q Cuppy. What are the

and that of David DAVIS, in which if h

pitiful tale, his whang- doodle trick for tn
senatorial seat2
