We are willing to give Mr.. Gordon
credit for honestly believing, when he
first began his attacks upon the depu- ,
ty county attorney, that he had {
grounds for the charges he made. 1t
has been most conclusively proven,
however, that he was misled. Mr.. I
Fisher has confronted Mr.. Gordon i'm I
his own meetings every evening this |
week, and has demonstrated beyond {
a cavil his innocence of the offences
charged. Mr.. Gordon cannot help !
knowing that he has been entirely {
mistaken in the matter, and 1t seems 8
to US that the manly and honorable {
thing for him to do is to acknowledge G
that he was misled and withdraw his I
charges.
Mr.. Jones knew perfectly well that
the REGISTER would gladly have {
published his answer to Stewards |
questions. We asked him for his an
swers five days before we published
the questions. And yet he compels US G
to wait until the Courdat comes out,
to get his reply. Mr.. Jones either has
very little idea of the courtesy due in I
such cases, or he did not want quite SO '
much publicity given to his letter as {
would be given by the circulation of
the REGISTER. We can readily see t
how be would greatly prefer to have a
it circulated as little as possible. But 4
as we are not working in his interest G
exactly, We publish it in full and give
him the benefit of our 400 circulation. '
In its last issue the Inter State says +
that it supports ]. B. Stockton, of r
county, for senator, because I.
he told US himself that he would vote s
for Click and the State democratic )
ticket. Also we know that he ,CiH not Z
vote for Lagdlis or any other prohibit .
ton humbug for U. s. Senator" It'll
then says, "We support A. G. Jones
for representative for the same red-
sons" In his reply to Mr.. Stewart,
which we copy from the Courdnt,
while he equivocates on the question
Of the state ticket, Mr.. Jones distinct 7
~ pledges himself to vote for J. J. In
gals. In viewsof these contradictions Il
It is certainly pertinent to inquire of
Mr.. Jones which statement he intends q
to abide by.
