EDITOR. DEMOCRAT: rE sfi5i ~,
In that weak production of a weak
mind, the Eaton Register of April
18th, there appeared an article over tine
| signature of "Readjuster," which for
square toed Icing takes the prize. j. The
author is either q crank of the first order
or else he is an ~unolushing liar. To be-
gin be says: "After many years of hard
work we have sunk the moss-backD Dem
tocrats and beer guzzling Dutch so deep
that it will take. them years to- dig out"
Now the only moss-backs in this Town
ship, are few round shouldered hard
shell Republicans, who have grown old
and soured trying to get into Office and
cover up the sins and dishonesty of their
party. To think for n instant that they
could sink any thing Except wind and
the money their commander sends them
for election purposes1 is simply ridicu-
lous. Next he speaks OF the Convention
fheld by the moss-backs and Dutch, with
the aid of boys and beer, who nominated
a ticket of the Robert Davidson CLIQUE.
Although the Convention spoken of was
not regular, there were men nominated
by it who stand high in the community
lfor honesty integrity and truth, which
the Register correspondent does not pos
sess) and to call them "beer-guzzlers" is
Pan insult which only an assinihe cores
tpondent of a dirty sheet would be guilty.
Next he speaks of his Captain calling q
meeting and nominating a ticket: Who
that Captain is, is as great q mystery as
Republican honesty and morality. To
proceed he says: 1.-THE solid Democrats
have been on the fence for some time,
and at last cast, theirlot with the read
~justers and Republicans" An. assertion
which l feel safe in saying is false in all
its bearings. The solid Democrats made
the change because they thought it was
not well to let one set. of men have the
offices for life. Ian example the Republi-
cans would do we'll to follow and if the
full vote had been east, not a Republican
would have been elected The Demo-
Gratis here do not recognise the name OF
rReadjuster," only as a thin cover to
hide Republican rascality and get out of
paying honest debts, and when the Dem
ocrats of this Township join either of
them, the Devil will enter the gates OF
Paradise and not before, and the man
who intimates such a thing is either
drunk or Il fool. He says: mot one
Democrat elected With the exception
of one Trustee, Treasurer and one Con-
stable, the rest are true blue Democrats,
and the person who calls them anything
else, lies point blank Now then as te
the German element in this Township
With. one or two exceptions they are ar
honest, hard working people, VINO are
credit to the county, and the insult offer
ed in the re-LtEoABLE Register, will be
remembered hereafter. He says farther
next year Twinwill go so Republican
Not any Gtliteauism in ours. We ca,
and will roll upt2oo Democratic majority
and the next time a Republican runs fo
Office here he will be9snowed under 81
deep that a jersey search warrant will
fail to find him.. To conclude. The ar
ticle is one of the most bare faced lie
that ever appeared in the REGISTER. ant
as they say the Devil is the father of al
liars, It's sad touthink that one of hi
sons is correspondent toaa paper tina
claims to be the moral sheet Of the conn
ty. I am inclined to think that "Read
iuster" got a little too much beer from
his candidates and was slightly unde
spiritual influence when he wrote hi
article. Truth.
