By the men that have all the past six months
been bounding and abusing you, calling YOU
boss-riddcn men. men that have been I" in
hand and glove" TO prostitute the Common
School System. You know that is not
true, however they may twist and sduirm
to stand by the foul charge. Such deuun-
cations have been the stock in trade Of GER
tain men in Miffiintown that stand around
on the pavements most of their time, and
occasionally meet in other well-known
places for caucussing. Meanwhile they
were Matching up an arrangement: that has
taken shape in the bastard fusion ticket.
You have been made the scape-goat on
which 10 load personal abuse to give them
place to found their conspiracy on against
the regularly organized system for the gov
ernment of the Republican party.
The Republicans that voted for yelling
ton Smith last May for County Superinten-
dent are, Henry Page, Edward Shifer, VIM.
Fahnestock, Alfred Snyder, Lewis Wilt,
Christian Shelly, c. B. hornlng, j. Nevin
POmeroy, Urish Shuman, Solomon Books,
Henry Auker, Jonathan Keiser, Lewis De-
gan, John Brown, Silas Shsmp, Solomon
Msnbeck, Michael Coldren, Samuel sieber.
That is the list of men that had been de-
clared as boss-ridien and seeking to prosti-
tute the Common School System. They
have the right and the power to resent the
stigma that was attempted to be put upon
them. An effort las been made to tear
down their good name to build up unworthy
men. The men that have been bounding
them have shown the cunning of serpent.
They have done their best to cast suspicion
on their characters by saying that they have
been prostituting the Common School Sys-
TEN, and they have been doing their best to
injure them politically by saving that they
are not Republicans because they voted for
Democrat Wellington Smith. If all the
Republic ans in the Convention of School |
Directors had voted for Republican candi- !
dates excepting those that voted for Smith, |
then the charge that they had not acted |
wisely toward the Republican party might |
be listened to with some degree OF patience;
out such is not the case. There is another |
long list of Republicans that voted for Dem.
Wellington Smith arc to be s6used and |
bounded for voting for Democrat, how do |
The hounders get out of bounding the Re- 4
publicans that voted for Hibbs. be berg 4
none the less Democrat than Smith The /
Republicans that voted for iIibhs are, Sam
ue Brown, Harry SfambsIgh, John Kerr,
Stuart Lukens, d. e. She'leuberger, Eihu
Benner, J. L. Stuart, DIR. A. Y. Shelly,
John Parker, jerome Tyson, John Bhren-
seller, J. n. Hover, Simon Muml.a, S. Vert
John Cunningham. Now, by
all the process of human reason known to
men, if the Republicans that voted for Smith
became Democrats, so then did the Repub-
licans that voted fol Hibbs become Demo-
Gratis, and the hounding Of the Smith Re-
publicans is a roaring farce, and q great
wrong. If the Smith Republicans are to be
blamed for voting for Democrat. how are
the Hibbs Republicans to escape blame for
voting for a Democrat. There is no sense,
but great wrong in the charges that have
been made against the Smith Republicans.
# they are Democrats, there is no escape
for the men that voted for Hibbs; they too
are Democrats, and then il follows that there
were no Republicans in the Convention of
School Directors excepting those that voted
for Captain Patterson. Who is he that
wants to make charge of that kind and
get that is just the place that the fellow
land. that says the Republicans that voted
for Smith are Democrats. The whole hound ,
ing process against the Smith Republicans !
is among the most contemplate slanders
ever gotten off in Junists county. =
The Republicans that voted for Captain ,
Patterson are, Josiah Gingrich, John Mus j
ser, VIM. Shfrk, ". N. Sterrett, J. z. Whar- !
Ton, Peter Difendarfer, d. G. Alter, D. I
Adams, Robert Wharton, Isaac Book, James i
Kidd.
The men that have SO outrageously
the Republicans for voting for
Smith are the head and front of the Hibbs
movement. If the bounded men had voted
or Hibbs there would have been no hound
ng. They would not have been slandered
md charged with making an effort to pros
itute the Common School System. They
would not be charged with being boss-rid- :,
len; they would not be charged with being
machine men, and yet the leaders in the
.harges against the Republicans That voted
or Smith have all this past fall been acting
he part of machine men. They have set
side the recognized systems of both the
Republican party and the Democratic party
