Mr.. EDITOR In the Kenosha Union
of March 8th, is communication over
the signature Of Republican, No. 2"
who refers to an article written last
June, and replies by asking if persons
meaning republicans who were will
ling to bond the town 60 Esterly & Co,
for the purpose Of building r. R., are
proper persons to tie to-" l simply re-
fer to this because Republican No. q"
is humbug, a 'wolf in sleeps cloth
ing" his satppositio71S and statements
have the usual democratic expose,
namely, never to tell the truth. In
the first place no effort was ever made
to bond the town for said r. r. Sec
ond, there was no "clamor to impose a
tax on the county for q centennial eel
.ebration." There is, nor was any law
authorizing any such move, hence, his
false statements are only for cheap bun
kun. In the same issue a real democrat
asks If | know a republican who went
Ito o democratic green-back caucus
and obtained a nomination and got we'll
whipped" [ answer no, but I answer
[ know one who went to said caucus
and denounced it then and there, was
nominated and elected.
The same writer states that it is
time s'partisanism was banished from
town meetings, and the voter asked, is
he honest and capable? and not, did he
vote our ticket? There are honorable
men in both parties and we ought to
choose the best" That is the point,
and why? In this town last fall were
polled 76 democratic votes and 100 re-
publican. If the vote was the other
way the writer of said article would be
of the opinion that of nearly three
times the number of voters there would
be a sufficient number of "hOneSt and
capable" men in his party to select
from. Since Jackson's administration,
or including it, the democrats have
lbeen in power over II years. Will the
writer of that article show us in all
that time when his party were in ma
Ijority that they appointed or elected a
political opponent to office? | hold
that every Office from the lowest to
the highest, has a corresponding de-
gree of influence, I further hold. that
there are "hO9eeSt and capable" repub-
licans enough to fill every Office within
their power togive, without going into
the corrupt and dishonest ranks Of a
party reeking with treason, spattered
with the blood of it's murdered victims
guilty of fraud, intimidation, ostracism
and every conceivable crime, made up
of renegades and deserters of all polit-
icAl faith and shade. The disappoint-
ed apostates of the republican party,
turn coats for petty office, traitors who
win barter soul and body for selfish
Ipecuniary ends. [ repeat, let republic
cans support their own party and it's
auxiliarics Each patty has a princi-
ple,it is not the name party,or the man
in the party, but the great underlying
principle that is declared as the plat
form Of each party, that we vote for,
every time we vote, whether it be for
a high or low office, democrat or a
republican. The great result is made
up from the aggregate of the small
things. So our nationalsucceSsf first bare
ly achined, is the result of keeping intact
every sacred principle of political right
and justice. REPUBLICAN.
