sell an 1nucpehucul tanuiualt, anu Il
irving to use all the influence which
his heretofore high position has
given him to defeat the Republican
ticket, and he expects to accomplish
this by uniting his influence with his
oil enemy. the Democratic party
II he has really become Democrat in
principle. there might be some show
of excuse for his course. But he still
PROCESSES to be as good a Republican
as he ever was E! 1t Is to be hoped
that such Republicans are few.
Men who are noisy and jealous
partizans when fed with fat offices,
and who turn a cold shoulder upon
their party as soon as some other
person is preferred, do not deserve the
votes or sympathy of any American
citizen OF any party. The political
demagogue is justly despiscd by men
OF all parties, and if he happens tC
receive the votes of an opposite party,
1T Is done for temporary success, al
the same time hating the demagoguC
for whom they cast their votes.
| DO not pretend to say Mr.. VI ii
such mani hope such is not tn
case. But he should remember tina
men are judged by their acts
Why does he not come out and ex
plain to the public the reason of hi
present course ? Why does he con
tinue to work secretly, advising ant
counseling with Democrats +?
Why is it that the Republicans ar
not receiving as formerly his aid an,
counsel in carrying on the campaign
Why is he doing more than an,
Democrat in the County to support
Democratic paper here, and using al
his influence against the county organ
OF his own party? Why has h
worked night and day to get tn
regular Democratic nominee for Clerl
out of his way, in order that he nigh
have place on their ticket +? VIII
is he using his influence against other
on the Republican ticket?
This is truly Il strange course for
good Republican to pursue a goo
Republican would do uothin
knowingly that would injure the cause
Does not Mr.. Nj. well know that it
impossible for him to iniurc an
render our County ticket unpopula
without in some degree affecting on
State ticket +? Does he not know tha
the course he is pursuing is giving al
and comfort to the Democrats
Does he not know that in Unto
there is strength. and that if i
succeeds in dividing the Republican
of the County, he destroys the
power?
If Mr.. NJ. does not know thes
things the Democrats do, and they al
much rejoiced to see the work 60 on
and it is feared by many that Mr.. \
also knows the results of his cour,
and rejoices with his old polite,
enemies.
Mr.. NJ. has heretofore been har
hand on political sorcheals who RI
independent to the injury of the party
and If he continues his course. l
deserves the same fate that he hs
help meet out to others He M
only deserves it, but he will receive
as sure as the votes in October ~
counted.
1t is no excuse for his course to sa
that he was badly treated at tn
Spring Election, that falsehoods wei
circulated against him, that Democrat
voted against him, etc. If it were a
true it would be no excuse for HI
present conduct. Any man who wa
beat at the nominating election Nigh
say the same, and many of them hav
, lar greater cause to complain tina
Mr.. NJ, yet all but him are confer
with the result and give the tickC
their hearty support.
Will not Mr.. NJ. and his friend
think of all these things and retrac
f their course. If not the people {
this County will in October ne,
give in a vote of condemnation thu
will long be remembered.
