We would inform Democrat" who
appears in this weeks Free Press, that
the contract for the Sturgeon river dam

get in the ring" he can do so very easily
by putting in proposal to do the work.
The Commissioners brother, Democrat"
or any other man, can secure the Job by
putting in satisfactory proposition. A
little Investigating by Democrat" viii
show that the balance sofe his questions
would amount to about as much as this;

Justice Sutton reiterates in his "card''
what the Free Press has repeatedly
stated-that the TRIBUNE has abused
and vilHfied prominent citizens of this
place. and is constantly doing so. We
have demanded the names Of those per-
secuted citizens of the Free Press. and
that paper refused to give the public that
information,thus confessing that its state
ments were false. Now, perhaps Justice
Sutton will be willing to come forward
with the proof Of his assertions. The
TRIBUNE has never published any state
ments regarding Justice Sutton but that
the. evidence substantiating them was
also given. Turn about is fair play.
Give the public the names of those
abused individuals.
