OkI 1 wv NSENbS ANON
EDITOR ARGUS - Feeling that
many in this community have been
misrepresented, yea, even slandered,
and knowing you side with what is
just, it is hoped you will allow me
to clear away few accusations, and
point out few facts.
The black. mailer Of this place has
the audacity to say anything, disre-
garding the truth, and in fact it
seems they prefer to falsify. Every
SINCERE Democrat knows that the
"Press" has done more to weaken
their party on the lower Sound than
could have dozen Republican pa.
pers. The men who are banner
leaders here have been picked out
as the objects Of its spleen. And
now it claims that our universally re-
spected townsman, DR.. N. d. Hill, is
trying to sow discord in the Demo
cratic ranks, who with others had re.
NAMED quiet till compelled to decide
between right and wrong. But,
who are they that we can number
with DR.. Hill--men who have stood
firmly by the Democratic party--men
who are respected by Republicans
for their sincerity in principles, and
men W ho have been honest, efficient
and faithful in discharge Of Office du-
ties ? We will can name a few and
the Doctor can be proud Of his asso
ciates: Chas. Eisenbeis, n. d. Hill,
]. A. Kuhn, F. w. Pettvgrove, ID.
q. H. Rothschild, G.. NJ. Halller, J. F.
Sheehan, and when alive, our la
mented and highly esteemed citizen,
OF Gerrish. These are the gentle.
men the "Press" and its yelpers have
made war against. And why ? Sim
ply because their moral sense of jus.
tice and decency wouldn'; allow them
to do the bidding of A. f. Learned,
Jas. Jones, F. James, onr-armPd
Smith, DR.. Willison, Rice. Philbrick,
and lastly, MY party" "Me and
Charley". Isn't that sweet scented
crowd to claim recognition as Dem
ocrats and to assail such men as first
named !?
The respectable portion Of the
Democratic party Of the lower Sound
no doubt are sorry that such II de
moralizing faction should claim to be
Democrats. They are a fire brand
in any community, socially or com
mercialy. We've evidences of the lat.
ter, and the people Of this place are
having their eyes opened to the fact
that Of the enterprising citizens who
are endeavoring to build up Port
Townsend, none are found of the
Blanchard ilIison ill who are help
ing to advance our general interest
but on the contrary, they are trying
to pull down our best men, those
who HAVE money aud are willing to
invest it. All this tro.ble is being
occasioned by parties who are envi
Gus and constitutionalIy bilious,
but it is hoped that some day they
will be "cured."
p. S.--Mr. Editor, am sorry to
have included in the batch two un-
fortunate ones of the penitentiary,
who no doubt have repented ere this,
but by doing this had hoped to point
out how near the balance were to the
penitentiary. And | notice have
done them another injustice by plac
ing their names as right and left sup
port of DR.. Wilson one wishing to
have the custody of school interest /;
and for which most humbly beg the
pardon Of Smith and Rice.

Well, his experience certainly HAS

doubtless be shrewd enough in the
Legislative halls-should he ever get
thereto dispose of his vote every
time to the best advantage. He is
also mentioned as being mot rabid
politician of either stripe" This is
true, as we can testify. He is NOT
rabid in any case unless PAID to be
so, and even then his efforts are de.
cidedly weak. When we purchased
the ARGUS from him he confidently
assured US that he had no political
principles or aflinities, but stated that
he always went "where there was
most money" At the same time he
volunteered little advice to us re-
garding the best method of making
the paper PAY. His claims to being
non partisan are abundantly sus-
taned, as is well known, from the
fact that when publishing the ARGUS
he was easily hired to make it a
straight Republican journal during
one campaign and was more easily
induced to make it rank and blatant
Democratic sheet during the sue
ceeding campaign. At the latter
time referred to, the ponderous in.
Huence of the journal under his
management commanded the munif.
cent sum Of FIFTY DOLLARS. What
admirable command he must have
had over his feelings and conviction.
TO succeed in reversing them during
the WHOLE CAMPAIGN for even tha,
immense hire. We are gratifed tC

but then it is such a rare thing to
have the privilege of voting for one
who has the hardihood to do what
Philbrick has done, and the cheek to
solicit the sutfrages of the people
aftcrward, that we cannot forbear
ventilating our feelings. To put
such a highly [unlprincipled individ

in deplorable condition indeed if he

by the democracy, that November is
