Questions and Answers.


lst II the editor of the Democrat,
Mr. Goodrich, was honest in his support
Of Mr. Weddle year or two since,
what good cause has changed his views
and made bin so hostile?
Mr.. WEDDLE refuses to insert official
advertisements in his Republican dodge
covered with an Independent plaster
The Democracy Of this Gounty, nine oat
of every ten, endorse Mr. WEDDLE's
course and cannot be coaxed or bullied
into voting against him. /
I'd. If he changed because he failed
to get the county printing, isn't his con-
duct purely mercenary and selfish, and
unworthy of respect2
The answer to that, by GooDRIcH,

and it is so despicable that no honora-
BILE man will envy him the possession of

3D. Does he not support Mr.. John B
Noll now because he hopes and expects
to get the county printing from the
Democratic paper, by electing Mr.. NolI? +?
Certainly, But he can't influence 25
Democrats to vote against Mr.. WEDDLE.
They know that it is GOODRICH, Re
publican, supporting Mr.. NoLL, a Re-
publican, the nominee of the Republi-
can party.

ly Republican as it is Democratic, would
John B. Noll be willing to take $500
less than the salary prescribed by law2 ?
j No. Itis dodge to catch votes and
one that will fail by large emajority.-
We doubt very much whether Mr.. NoLL
originated the idea; perhaps he agreed
to it after the Republican managers sub
mitted the matter to him. ~ 81

9th Didn't Mr., Goodrich come to
Monroe for the purpose OF creating dis
sensions within the Democratic ranks,
and get the county printing by so doing ?
He was brought here by Democrats,
, and since his arrival has been continual
ly engaged in abusing and bullying
J Democrats, Democratic candidates and
Democratic officials who would not be
"bulldozed" into contributing to sup
port the Republican dodge" But the
Democrats in this county won't scare,
consequently his success has not been

Very few. A very large number of

or honesty, and they frame their opin-
