En-. HEgALD:-Not seeing anything in
your valuable paper for some time from
this place, have concluded to write an
article on the subject of Half Breeds"
Now, wat is half breed? Josh Billings
SAYS, "a mule is half horse and half jack
ass. !" and then comes to a full stop, mature
discovering her mistake" Now this is
what call a half breed, and they will
como TO a full stop. We are living very
near the Independents headquarters, tMey-
ersdale). however, we are not swayed by
Them by any means. Having found out
the way they 1.-THE Half Breeds make con
verts to their ranks, we deem it our duty to
publish their nefarious lies.
They tell to innocent persons that such
men as Arthur, Grant and Cameron were at
the head of the assassination of President
Garfield. that they hired .Guiteau to do the
deed. Men that want to be the noble lead
e-s of the true Republican party ought to
be denounced as vile slandcrcrs. This is
charge they c;ia not substantiate. and in no
way can thcy prove it, The eyes of the in
nocen, ought to opened; and men who
stand up and make such declarations 10 in
nocent, people, they, like Cain, ought to
have mark put on their forehead, so that
Republican will know them when they
are to be known.
Again, they are down on rings, bosses.
&C., why don't they practice what they
preach. Any person with common sense
would call it the Meyersdale ring, the way
they cameto Somerset Their ring is well
formed, and called the Lincoln club of
Meyersdale; why do they use the name ofthe
immortal Lincoln for their neiarious busi-
ness: they use the name rs screen for
their vile work. they oppose rings with
rings; they oppose the persons holding
Office because they want them themselves !;
they are covetous, and the best advice we
can give them, is to adhere TO the command
.ment, where it says something about coye.-
ousness; they also want to break up the
Somerset ring" tas they term it, this is an
untruth and base lie they only want TO
change it from Somerset to Mcyersdale, this
is the whole amount of 1t; and by carefully
perusing the Oommsreia of Meyersdale any
intelligent persons can see what they are
after a3H ~
No doubt most every person that has read
history, read about Henry Clay when de-
batting in the Senate on some important
question, some one said to him, that it
would lessen his chance for the Presidency,
he replied by saying, Il would rather be
right than President. This modern Henry
Clay would rather be President than right,
this is the parallel difference between the
two illustrious persons. We will add in
conclusion that we want every true Repub-
Iican to 10 his duty, let your motto be
work. work., work... and we shall We
more than conquerors. LET the Wolfe
howl
