We hear the Democrats are talking OF
organizing young voters club. II we
were not afraid our reputation for truth
and veracity would be ruined we would
say that they always try to fellow after
the Republicans as near as they can-nev-
or ahead.
The ways OF this lie are not always
ways OF pleasantness, and one has TO take
the bitter with thesweet. We don't mean
that we are particularly worried or have
lost any meals over what the steubenyille
Gd,etts says about US, but still we feel like

ourself. The issue Of that sheet OF last
as the boss political liar Of this section, and
bids fair to eclipse Eli Perkins in his Pc
culiar speciality before long" It then
goes on at length, 10 q three.quarter col
umn editorial, 70 show why we are East
becoming, etc." Why, do you ask? Simply
because we told the truth, and the truth
cut deep and hurt them. We said the
meeting was failure aud adjourned very
early they we're ir session about thirty
minutes) II our. own account does not
suit them we will give them in lieu there.
OF the opinion oil Jimm' Morney, their
worthy janitor. better Democrat than
whom does not breathe in the city, In
Jimmy's own language, that opinion Is,

one ground. and that Is that We will sup

The close proximity Of Mears' liquor store
bears us out in this conclusion. He goes
on TO say that "such pestiferous creatures
as the 1NTHLLiGRNcHR correspondent
sometimes get caught in their own trap"
and prints in bold italics our admission
that "while the attendance (of the Garfield
meetinR) wasnot 80 large rs at some former
meetings, it was noticeable fact that
many OF those present were men who
rarely ever attend political meetings OF
any kind" Where we got caught In a
trap we don't know. We told the truth
and that is what we aim at always,
whether in Republican or Democratic
meeting.
The Gasette closes by saying that ''it the
IsrRLLIoENcER desires TO lose It's hereto
fore good record for honesty and fair deal
ing, It can very easily do so by the en-
couragement OF such correspondents as
the cheerful idiot who dishes up Steu-
