BLOOM. BROWN, THOM AND ''T11jEM"


BLOOM, BROWN, THOM AND "71zEM"
OGLES.
EDITOR ADVANCE: see that Brown
has resorted to Bloom, ,chich Is justice Of
the peace, and sworn that the bridge
was built according to plans and speci-
6cations furnished him by E. 5. Mills,
which suppose is even so. l suppose
Mills made three or four otter copies of
the plan and specifications furnished by
Bloom for other parties who wished to
lid on the bridge. Of course, Mills
furnished Brown the plan; who else
was expected to do this? The affidavit
OF Brown is no doubt strictly true Oh
its face, but a truth told in such u man.
ner as to deceive and only for that pur-
pose is Il falsehood, and when sworn to
is perjury Just the same rs swearing to
any other untruth. But of course this
uses up Mr.. Mills. lie certainly cannot
expect to get elected after having been
held up to the public gaze OH the spears
OF Brown and Bloom srhich is justice Of
the peuce. We often SEE patent medi-
cine men get out just such atfidavits and
furnish, them t. the public gratis,
whereat we laugh just as we do at this
Mr.. Bloom helped Brown to soft
thing, and Of course it is expected that
Brown will return the compliment even
If he does have to stretch the truth II
little. Probably this was part of the
bargain when the bridge was accented.
Inotice also that Mr.. Thorn denies
that he intends to appoint deputy in
case he is elected. lie should have
taught A. J. Rice better than to tell on
him. and then we would not have
known anything about it. InOtice fur
Their. that the denial If Thorn occupies
six lines across Il column of the AD-
VANCE, and there are just six mistakes
III spelling in those six lines. assume
that those mistakes are in the original;
if so, what Il comical show his legal pa-
pcrs as sheriff Of Mobiles county would
make in district court. Please let us
know, MIR. ADVANCE, whether you
don't know now t" spell ordinary words
or whether the would he sheriff is the
man who don't know.
The editor of the Journal feels very
proud that he is the son of his father
Very good. We don't think the father
has any very great cause to be proud Of
the son. Il VOTER.
TThe above communication is from Il
highly-esteemed farmer who lives in the
west end. AS to Mr.. Browns affidavit.
it was of course drawn up by Bloom
and 50 shaped that Mr.. Brown conld
append his name to it without telling
what was untrue and without sayin"
anything to acquit Bloom. For til"
point is that Bloom accepted the bridge
twice, and charged the county SIS for
his services in accepting a bridge which
has never been Of any service to any one.
AS to Mr.. Thom'S letter. we gave it
in Mr.. Thom's exact language, orthog
raphy and all. We have been so often
charged with changing communications
to make them presentahle that we were
bound Mr.. Thorn should not have any
reason to complain on that score.-ED.
ADVANCE
THEIR CLAIM
Two hundred majority is claimed for
the crooked Republican ticket. They
base their estimates: First, on thu
Strength of the party ticket. SetoAd.
on church prejudices in favor of ti'ei.
candidates. Third, they say that Bloom
with his smooth tongue can control the
German vote. Fourth, that Thompson
can control il very large portion Of the
scandinavian vote. Fifth, that the
beer saloon in Adrian will insure them
t!.e colony vote III the west end
Whether or not these hopes are we'll
founded, remains to be seen. 1t is an
insult to the intelligence Of our foreign.
born population to suppose that they
are t" be carried away into supporting
wrong measures and opposing those
which are right, simply because these
men can talk to them III their own
language. or because they are caiole.'
and treated to favorite beverage. OF
course our friends will see that these
points to some extent are intended to
balance the scale in their favor, and
will see the Importance of earnest. ell
ergetic work for the independent ticket.
Our candidates are only asking ppo-
pie to do for them only what can he
done honorably and fairly They dc
not ask any one to support them except
those who can do so with clear C. H.
science, believing that they are doing
right. We only ask them to look the
matter over. and Judge our candidates
as they expo ct to he judged themselves
in the FIXTURE. t:'at is: simply by what
they have done.
