What Does it Mean? Has WILMER
Been Purchased 2 Mount the
Stand, Brother.
We find the following mysterious
communication in the SandUskg Reg
Sster. 1t quotes a paragraph from
Willmer's paper in which he charges
that the late grand jurors did not do
their duty, and also makes charges
that individuals had been purchased.
Ruess, rather intimates bad things
about Wilmer and others. Let the
Democracy demand of Wilmer that
he speak. And by the way, the DIR.
Wilmer referred to is a conservator
of the peace, a custodian Of the law;
one whose duty it is to see that the
law is enforced. If he knew of any
one who had accepted a bribe, or
sold his vote for money, why was it
that he went not before the Grand
Jury himself and made information.
Surely on such evidence as he would
give, in such circumstance, true
bills would have been found. In
paragraph quoted from Willmer's
paper, the whole Democratic party
is assailed, and the honest men in it
should demand that he name those
who took bribes, and make present
ment thereof before the next grand
jury. Or is it possible that they all
took babies. We wait for Wilmer
to speak. We pause for Ruess' re
joinder, and for the revelations
which he threatens to "revesl in a
very short space of time"
when Greek meets Greek, then |
comes the tug of war; and now the
leading German of Sandusky Coun-
" and one Of the bright German
lights Of Erie have taken each other
by the ears. Pull away, boys;
A CARD FROM MR.. RUEss.
EDS. REGISTER In our neighbor-
ing and prosperous city of Fremont
a German paper named Ere
mont Courier. The said journal
in its last issue of NoVem
Der 9th the following spicy editorial:
"We cannot be charged to exager-
ate matters when we maintain that
Chas. Fosters majority in this cleo
ton district was bought with dollars
and cents. 1t will be easy to
bring forth sufficient proof for the
of our assertion, that
certain parties, who INDUCED too lib
orally in the modern traffic of man
kicd, would have come to grief if the
Grand Jury of our county had in
vestigated the late election. And
Chas. Foster is an honest Republi-
can, an exception of the rule, aoho
was set up for others as an impulse
Of imolation."
Now, this seems to be pretty cool
in the month of November. In the ,
first place, ask Mr.. Foster whether
ne has bought any body with dollars
md cents in this latitude.
Second, I ask the editor of the
Fremont COaTier to furnish the proof
If his unmanly accusations; and
Third, I ask that very same gen
leman to swear before his God ]
whether he does not know anything t
bout bribery within the rank and f
lie of his own party.
I for one can prove what will be
evealed in very short space of
ime, and I for one solemnly protest
hat blind and obedient party SER e
ants, who only move when the par
whip cracks, are true representa-
yes Of the peoples sentiment. Mr..
oster's election is, in my humble e
pinion, not Republican party vic p
Dry. Neither can the so called Dem 7
Gratis claim that the well deserved :
efeat of the Grant party all over
lis continent was a Democrat vic
'ry. ask of DR.. Wilmer as an b
onest man, which I believe he is, b
say who was bought with dollars n
i'd cents. 1t may be l can say,and .
owe it also, who was bought on the =
side in the recent and u
any other elections. a.
