mr.. Editor IL have been shown q
hand bill signed by s. R. Miller. E. h.
Alleu aud J. w. Bryant, which is being
circulated through this part OF the county
BY prominent Democrat, that contains
some of the most ridiculous STUFF" ever
spread before the thinking voters Of La
mobile County. Is it possible that Sam
Miller, Eph Allen or Joe Bryant are so
deluded as to suppose the Republicans of
this county ore TO forsake their ticket by
such sounding brass as this proclama-
ton echoes. Is it possible that they ex-
pect to make pybody believe that I. l..
Pearl, e. Q. White, Allen Il. Smith aud
Capt. Kep6eld are set Of knaves They
say in substance that these me3 decline
their nominations under the ''fear Of pun.
ishment or the hope Of reward" and seek
to leave them standing before the public
as men that have been bought up. Now
| expect certain men 10 every election to
tell great many lies, it is SO natural for
them but no man has right to charge
such men with dishonor. DO the people
Of johnson where Judge Pearl lives; of
Morristowu, where Allen B. Smith lives !;
Of Eden, where E. G. White lives and
of Hyde Park, where Capt. KeuGeld
livet-relish this attack upon them as
men? But let us see who it is that
is trying to dupe the people. Mr.. Smith
is the regular Republican candidate for
Assistant Judge Of the County Court.
The Farmers Convention is bolt
from the regular Republican Tickle.
Somebody Dathout Mr.. Smiths knowl-
edge or consent, placed his name Oh the
boiling ticket, thereby holding out to the
public that he sanctions this move. Judge
Pearl, without his consent is also put on !;
Mr.. White attended the regular Repub-
lican Convention /; was on the nominpt-
ing committee from Eden, voted to sup
port the ticket lin that convention, mott.
fed gentlemen who asked him to go to
the boiling convention and take a nomi.a-
ton from it that he could not do so and
after all this they sought to place him
III false position as man with double
face and no honor by placing him on the
secoud ticket and so with Capt. Ken.
field. Now was this honorable? Was
not this an attempt to make these men
against their will appear to be support
ing move that they did not sanction :?
Then because they refuse thus to be made
tools of, charge them with being seduced
with "threats' and promises We
have no doubt that the Farmers Con.
vcntion, as body, acted honestly, and
supposed these men were in sympathy
with them and would stand as their
candidate; but certain men an the con-
ventiOn knew otherwise, and it looks to
me as though They were the ones wholly
to blame for the condition Of things that
existe. These things are facts, and
these gentlemen who have declined their
nomination, indignantly spurn the charge
that they have been dishonorably induced
to do what they have done, and while they
feel like treating the convention hand.
somely by respecfu! declipatloD, they
ought not to be held up by any so.calcd
County Committee as vcnal politicians
who are in the market for the highest
bidder.
The handful in question is beautiful
specimen Of political bombast and will
fall harmless at the feet ofiutelligent men.
But where are these men trying TO carry
the farmers Of Lamoile county2 The
answer is into the outstretched arms and
loving embrace Of the Democrats. How
nicely the plan is concocted, the new
convention is to be held Thursday, the
Democrats have theirs Friday,--will Gu
dorse the nominees Of Thursday, and then
such huggug and kissing as will follow
the marriage. What beautiful dreams
the Republicans will have sleeping in a
Democratic trundlebed. Republicans Of
Lamoille county, when you see the DEM
ocrats of this county lettering this
scheme to ride into power, --when you see
the prominent Democrats who lead it,
nominated as candidates for Town Repre-.
sentitive in your towns, aud their County
Convention step up and swallow these
ambitious men, you will see the whole
body and soul Of the movement which
they are irving to palm off as Farmers
movement"
