Farmers, you have corn, hogs, cattle
and other articles of trade which you
wish to sell. Suppose man who is per-
fectly good-one whose note you would
gladly take-comes along and wishes to
buy and will give you note with first
class security. However, he offers you a
note without date of payment. Would
you take it? Point out the difference
between that note and those which the
6aters propose to issue to an unlimited
amount. What a fire currency that
would make. No promise to pay no
day of redemption no value from the
fact that values cannot be created with.
out value is given in return.

BY IlGPLIcArIoM.

The later SLATE of this week coptaips
by implication, lying charge, By which
il hopes to make votes for Mr.. Donaho.
The facts are. that just three cases are
now in the District Court. One from
the administration Of Judge Dornberg,
one from the administration of Judge
Acers, and one from Judge Allison. All
the suits were brought BY the same a.
torney-Col. Smith, who was defeated
BY Mr.. Allison by large majority two
years ago.
The administration of Judge Allison
has given the best satisfaction and the
County Commissioners never refused to
pay his salary because he neglected the
Office, as was the case with his predeces-
sor.
Mr.. Donaho's judgment is pulled con-
siderably. A man whose convictions OF
right and duty are swayed by the posi-
bility of q nomination for An Office il
rather an anomaly.
Mr.. Allison on the contrary has TO day
better Judgment. better legal attachments
than Mr.. Donaho ever possessed.
The charges made by implication
against Judge Aliison's record are false
in every particular and will react upon
the entire Democratic ticket. So far as
his making an energetic canvass is con-
cerned, Judge Allison has been sick for
upwards of three months and has made
no canvass whatever, but he will beat
Bub Donaho so bad that the young man
won't know for certain whether he is q
candidate or not.
