Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1881-10-26

Republicans they could away from
Patterson and other Republican can
didates to Hibbs. Patterson was
dazed very much after the way the
men at the fair last week were dazed
when they unwrapped the little pieces
of soap where they expected to find a
$40 bill, and found it blank. The
Hibbs manipulators were determined
that Patterson and everybody else
should draw a blank, excepting Hibbs,
who was to draw the Superintendency.
If they had honestly been for Patter-
son they would have withdrawn
Hibbs ON the last ballot and support
ed Patterson. The same set of Jug
glers that secured lot of Repubi-
cans to vote for Hibbs and screened
themselves by shouts of condemna-
ton against Republicans that exer-
cised their right by voting for other
Democratic candidates, and for
voting for Patterson and other Re
publican candidates, have a hand
in the coming election. Now is
the time for the men that have been
bounded to smite the hand that has
been directed against them all sum
mer. The same men that held num-
ber of men from voting for Patter-
son and others, are juggling now with
the Captain. They prevailed on him
to resign his candidacy for the Office
of Associate Judge How are prom
ises to elect him Superintendent of
Common Schools next time to be
kepts That is part of the bargain,
and it implies that the men that have
been Safeguarding the Republicans
that voted for Smith have matured
plan to control the next convention
of school directors. If it does not
indicate that as clearly as anything
can be indicated. then the Captain
has been sold. What do The Repub-
licans Of Juniata think of such
scheme. What do the Republicans
of Juniata think of a get of men that
have bargained the County Superin-
tendency of Common Schools away
years beforehand, and then cover
over their work by bounding ether
people! What do Republicans think
of men that will do that, and then
profess to lament that politics is in
troduced into the Directory and Su-
perintendency of Common Schools
Republicans of Juniata, be not
blinded. It is not a Republican
scheme, but scheme of the ring
sters that have been abusing every
body that did not do as they desired
in the convention of school directors
last May. They victimized Cap
tain Patterson when he thought they
were befriending him. That ne part
ly understood that there is some
thing wrong, and that he is being
used as he should not be used is re-
vealed in his letter of withdrawal
when he says, ''It is personal sacri-
fee for me to give up my prospects
of election" They played with his
letter as best suited their caprice. and
when he comes to realize ON their
promises he will find that they have
into thin cir, for the ring
that made them will be broken into
at the coming election.
Republicans and Democrats, whose
and manhood has been ques-
toned and insulted when you did
that was wrong, go to the
polls in November and put the stamp
of condemnation upon the men that
during the past ten months have
done all they could to blackguard
you, and lower you in the estimation
of the public; stand up for your
when you have chance at
the polls; make clean sweep of it
while you are at it.
Yours, respectfully,
MIFFLIN.
