+ e. am now, as everyone we'll knows,
out Of politics, and had not intended
to meddle with them, but having read
the communication Of Democrat from
Royalton ~ I can not refrain from
ma king a few remarks as matter oil
|justice to Mr.. Stoll, who is the assailed
party.
! Democrat states that he knows next
t, nothing of Mr.. Stoll. I do no:
doubt bat what it is the case, and fur
ther, think that his knowledge of peo-
pie and things in this county might be
considerably improved Judging from
| his communication, but if Mr.. Stoll is
not known to Democrat, he is surely
we'll and favorably known by large
number of voters and tax payers of
this county who will give him their
hearty supportaty the polls, and do not
think he was mistaken about the in
te'ligence Of tie people of this county.
At any rate the ballots will tell that
part of it, and i feel confident that
Mr.. Democrat will find out that Mr..
stoll happens to be known by a large
number OF voters after the ballots are
counted next Tuesday.
Democrat uses an expression which
l do not believe he has thought much
about before writing it. I IAN the
word "importation.' I would like to
have him tell me, and explain what
this county, State and even the whole
United Sites would be without i'm
portatlons. Take the county for in
stance. What proportion of the vot-
ers and tax payers is there who arc
not of tolejgn descent? l am wiling
to admit that Mr.. Democrat may have
nu average amoun' Of brains, bu: he is
surely not we'll posted about these
matters, or at least has Mt reflected
upon the subject before using such an
expression. He ought to know b.
this time that this is a free country
(uniess hc has been very recently m
ported himself) and that We All stand
politically, Oh equal groui4d and with
equal rights, and d,, not see the res-
son why Mr.. StolI alDniu bs deprived
OF these very rights which every true
American (whether imported or for
elgn) ct'erishes. Besides, Mr. Stoll j.
to-day candidate for the important
office Of county treasurer at lhe in
stance of his friends (who by the way
are numerous) who called upon him
to accept the candidacy, and he did ac-
capt it pro viding he would get the
nomination by honorable means,
which he has line. and tbs very same
men who prevailed upon him to ac-
cept the candidacy will attach their
names and property to his bond for
S75,0 900 or more if required, after he is
elected, which cannot fail to be the
case, and that is say;ng good deal in
his favor. :Everyhedy we'll knows that
he is not a millionaire, nor near it, but
it is not the moneyed man that the
Democratic party is after. 1t is the
man VIII" can take care Of their dollars
and cents, and who has got the educ,-
ton, ability and integrity, which qnal
ifications are possessed by the nomi-
n1e in high degree. I 10 not pre-
sume that anybody viii, qnest:nn his
qualifications, but AS he has been in
our employ (Gravel & Goulet's) for
two years, and under my immediate
supervision. 1t affords me pleasure
to state here openly and publicly that
he is emlnently qualified to fill the po-
sition (having myself held responsible
county Offices for a number of years, I
claim to be competent judge) He
is a 90 d d. countant and scholar, COM
m nding three langna"es fientlv
English, German and French) and
while no other than the English lam
gnage is required nor expected from
a public officer, still it would not come
analss in county like this, having
such mixed population.
AS to other officers, T shall not say
but few words in regard to the coun-
ty attorneys Zip. Ishall give the nomi-
nee my hearty support, and shall use all
honorable means to help him secure
his election, if he is not a practicir 2
attorney Las we'll as large number
of taxpayers, am not afraid to trust
the business in the hands of such
man as r. M. Worthington. In short,
! [ shall support the whole county tick
ct. l was delegate to the conven-
ton, and though I could not attend
personally, fully endorse the nomi-
nations with ut u single exceptions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l shall bring this
! to close. do not wish to occupy
too much space in your paper, but
conld not let Democrats slurs pass by
without making few remarks, and
while I am the only signer I can state,
knowingly, that the above is endorsed
Dv gOOu many prominent men ana
taxpayers of this part of the county,
who will put their shoulders to the
wheel, and help roll up for Mr.. stoll
and the ticket in general a handsome
majority. #s. ~ -. ..,.- sp
l sincerely hope that Mr.. Democrat
will hereafter use the word 1MPoRrA-
r1oN sparingly when writing about pol
itics. If the above few remarks do !.
not open his eyes, let him look up the.
war record and see if that will do it.
IF he is a Democrat, his, record ought.
to be such that he should not be.
Eashamed to sign his own name, and if.
] he is not, he had better leave them
! alone until such time as he under
