roy's-to the Rcputlican. we will pre'1
Gent to that Office one hundred dollars.
On the point as to who wrote the card
we will be equally plain. We say that
we nowhere declared that Col. Robinson
wrote it. Our file is open to the same
committee. or any other chosen in the
same manner. If they find in any one
of the articles bearing on these questions,
the statement that Col. Robinson wrote
Judge Pomeroy's card, We will present
that office two hundred dollars. We ask
no forfeit of them; all that we ask is that
they save themselves from the position
which they maliciously attempted to
place us in
But in their last they intimatcd that
We were parsimonious. Certainly there
is no stint and closeness about our offer
1t is all in their favor lfthey can prove
their charges they get three hundred
dollars, and relieve themselves from the
odious position of repeatedly telling what
wasn't true AS to the parsimony of our
conduct in general, we may add that 80

in the country who does raise the cry of
parsimony or siinginess against men who
husband their means and thereby acquire
property, thus becoming taxpayers, and
the source of revenue which upholds the
township government. the county govern
ment and State government, on up to the
national government The men who thus
cry out against the thrift of the country
are the worst citizens that a State can
lave Their proper level would be in
some prison house, chain gang, or penal
colony.
The article on " Heavy Artillery" has
sentence or two relative to the commu
nications over the signature of Barton
Speak. To that we say that if Barton
Speak should deem it proper to make the
Republican corps the subject to write on,
their characters will be truthfully delin
eated They also refer to communica
tions on the subject of the county print
ing Their action on this question is to
a certain extent known throughout the
county.
If there is any honor left among the
people of Juniata, it will vindicate itself
at the proper time, through the proper
channel, and lift the Commissioners Of
fee out of the slough in which it now
founders.
They insinlate that our intercourse
with the State Central Committee is not
what it should be- and that we are not
supporting the ticket as we should do.
We do not recognize their right to ques-
ton the motives for what we have done,
or what we may do. Their conduct for
years has been such that they are entire
ly ruled out when the question of judg-
meut on the action of others-be they
Democrats or Republicans-is up for con-
siGcraiion. Like the woman who was
before Judge Bucher at midnight, during
the late court, whose course had been so
defective in point as to what was proper,
that when she came to denounce others
she was ruled out entirely and sent to
pr ison, these men have the meanness to
question the political motives and actions
of others. when the influence of their
own treachery to the Republican party
has not yet spent its force. 1t is just
now two years since these same fellows
were, as they are now, manipulated by
DR.. Crawford to espouse his cause for
the State Senate. they helped to elect
him to that place. The influence of his
election against the Republican party has
not yet spent its force. His greatest
thrust is yet to come. for next winter he
will vote for the election of Democratic
United States Senator.
We do not take the space now to look
at the Junkin Graham campaign and
other pages of their record Their record
is nothing but series of condemnations
of themselves.
