BROTHER HOLLOWAY.


-
Brother Holloway of the Columbiana
Register and radical Grant third term
candidate for the General Assembly
again asks us to carefully read the evil
denCe found on "pages 20 &C., on hisand
drunken Jim Gordon's Wood county re-
port.
Well, we have actually read 1t again,
and find in it-not enough to convict a
kitten, nor enough to arraign human
being on, "scurvy politicians" though,
anxious to serve as smelling commit
tee, " may smell long enough to cost the
State thirty thousand dollars or so, and
accomplish nothing.
The chief smellers on this committee
of s were J. S. Gordon of Cincinnati, who
is not renominated, and f. S, Holloway
of Columbiana Co., who is renominated,
AS the result of their labors they recon-
mended, LIST. to exonerate Gordon, Mr..
Murlin and the Speaker. 2nd, to Censure
Baker, White and Walker. Sd. that the
Speaker "reprimand Haag aud Cooley" "
-one Democrat and the othera Repub-
lican.
Not one of these recommends was
adopted by the House And so ended
this hollow affair There was not a
particle of evidence establishing that any
money was used to procure vote. If
there had been any real guilt smelled
out by Holloway, who smelled with all
his might, the effort would have been
and should have been to expel. The
whole affair was Small potatoes and
very few in ahilp'-but just big enough
for "brother" Holloway to smell over and
enjoy. Holloway's great labors may not
save him from danger even in Column
Biana county, this year.
The People are in very earnest and
Independent mood judging from Califor-
mia; and are slaughtering, at fearful
rate, Grant officials and their aiders and
abettors.
We would say to "brother" Holloway
that "Mac is in favor" of fair and square
dealing, and has ever been; and he would
scorn TO resort to low, mean and hollow
ways to expose the character of politi-
cal opponent--even though he publish
ed servile and malignant Grant or
gan.
Now, did not brother Holloway want
pay for the five holidays that the Assem-
bly, was not in session? Does he claim
that drunken Auditor of State like
Williams would have refused the pay if
the General Assembly had ordered it by
passing the Thompson resolution? If
Holloway was against taking the pay
for services not rendered, why did he not
vote against the Thompson resolution ?
Why did he dodge it?
Again, Brother Holloway was chair
man of the Penitentiary smelling COM
mittee, that cost the State several thous-
and dollars and found nothing arOng. The
only thing they found to disturb their
delicate sense of smell, was fve barrels Of
condemned meat. which he, as the leading
duly reported. In old Massa-
some years ago Legislative
committee were equal to or
ahead Of Mr.. Holloway's-for they were
very searching and actually found some
thing under the bed.
Now dearest brother Holloway, when next you
try your hand
Extend your searches further-send your fame
throughout the land
lis said ones sense of smell, improves by prac.
tlcing with care
And now suppose you smell at home-there may
be something here'
Indeed, there has been something, a little to be
sure,
Enough to show the fountain was not entirely
pure,
But ah, dear brother Holloway, that way you do
not SMELL
And if you did, you're not the one to make report
and tell.
