EDITOR DEMocRAT:-
1t Seems that Twin township Is roll
ing in blood, and bad blood at that
Ssme exultant Republican under the
signature of "Readjuster," in the Ea-
ton Register" OF April 18th, got on a
high and wrote the thoughts of the Re-
publican party to a dot about the Ger
mans and Democrats. They are always
held up as beer guzzlers. The Dutch
and Irish must stand whatever is put
son them, ii they don't vote the Repub-
|lican ticket. Now, Mr.. Editor, " hat l
want, the people of Twin township to
know is this: When "Readjuster'
found that the Registers plan was not
q good one, the best thing he Cor theyl
can do is to lie out of it and put it on
some Democrat. So they concluded to
put it on me, asI have q man in my
employ by the name of Henry Miller.
I don't think chilling it alie would be
strong enough, for it is the habit of the
Republicans t o lie and then some
one else done i. do not takeAsfdes
with ssReadjuster'' or the man who
signs himself ssTruth :" for ssReadjus-
ter" lies from the word go, and SSTrath's
fails to tell all the truth. "Truth"
says sstIie Convention was notregular."
1 say it was. The call was advertised
at least ten days, and If il WAS not con-
Quoted right (Which it was, with the
exception Off little too much noise,)s
there were straight-out Democrats NOM
mated. What more could Democrats
want that were not office-seekers and
~sore-heads? t"Truth7' says, "the solid
Democrats. made the change because
they thought it was not bestto let one
set of men have the offices for life."-
I say he is mistaken. The Republicans
land sore-head Democrats made the
change. Why did they elect Republic
cans to half The offices If it was the
solid Democrats Do the solid Repub-
licans do thai way? / guess not. They
will not elect a Democrat for dog-pel-
ter or Gin the language Of their idol,
Bob Ingersoll,) if the Devil was on the
| Republican and Christ on the Demo-
cratic ticket, they would vote for the
Devil. If the solid Democrats wanted
a change, why did they not make a
solid Democratic ticket? Let "Truth'
answer and tell why they peddled Half
Breed tickets over the township before
the election. What they wanted was
to satisfy a few Republicans, for they
put two OF the candidates nominated
by the "beer guzzling Dutch" Gas the
Register calls them,) on their ticket,
that have held Office for at least ten
years. So you see there is no truth in
that statement. "Readjuster" lies when
he says there were no Democrats elect
ed, for there were two true blue DEM
ocrats elected-Sam'l Gulick and Sam'l
McPeek. tReadjuster" says not one of
their men will touch, taste or handle
the nasty stuff. How he can lie. He
is a stranger to the truth all through
his Shiny article; and whoever says
that l or any other sound Democrat
would have the impudence to write
such a thing to the Register is a falsi-
fer. If 'Readjuster'' and his clan
were as good citizens as the Germans
Of this township are he would be i'll
better business than belieiug his supe-
riors as good citizens and honest men.
To conclude, Gin the language of the
editor of the Register) the ass of the
Register, unlike Baalam's asses, can
always be found when a dirty, Shiny
article wants space in his moral paper,
especially when it is to the detriment
of Germans or Irish when they vote the
Democratic ticket. The Democrats have
been asleep for the last year or so, but
I think they will wake up to a sense of
their duty this fall. 1 wantmy friends
in this township and elsewhere to know
that when 1 write anything it will not
be signed "Readjuster."
