Last Gasp ONthe FuslOnists.


Just what the fellows at the helm
of the two fusion sheets would give to
get out of the controversy that has
proven so damaging to the scheme
they have laiAout, is hard to tell, but
that they are resortiDg to every means
whereby they may be able to stink out
of a fair discussion of the issue is evil
deuced by their pitiful yelps in last
weeks issue. The Democrat says sim
ply nothing on the question at issue,
and as our time is too much occupied |
for the present to give any attention
to the tools and suckers that hang !
around Jake Kepler and do his dirty
work for a pittance, VIC shall have to
pass by the bogwash contained in :hat
sheet last week. The editor of this
paper has no desire to put himself
way down on level with such trash.
And just hear it might be well to state
that the "trapper" of the Common.
aOedLth has laid trap wherein to catch
the honest voters of Forest county, and
what do you think he's using for bait ?
Why the editor.in chief of the Demo
crdt and whew, what bait !
We see by their papers last week
that they have both come. up to the
scratch in one thing; they have been
driven into publishing their party
rules, thing they never would have
thought of doing only for the drub.
bing received at the hands of the RE.
PUBLICAN. Now we want every voter
who has read this controversy to read
those rules carefully and compare
them with the statements published in
both those sheets Immediately after
the meeting of the "six smart alecks,"
where they say that candidates for.
Office connot have their announce.
ments published" &C.; then look at
the rules where they say candidates
shall have their names announced"
&c. Judge for yourselves who has
been misrepresenting facts we think
the most skeptical will be convinced
Then they have the cheek to ask the
conscientious voters of their respective
parties to turn out and nominate can.
didates sin accordance with the rules,
&c." at the same time prohibiting
candidates from letting the voters
know that they are candidates. They
: should have invited the voters to turn
out aud nominate in accordance with
the programme laid out by the ring"
for be it known the ticket Is made let
l no man be deluded on that point,
and all the Joint convention" which
they speak of, can do is to meet and
ratity the thing as it is "set.up' by the
: bosses. Don't lose sight of this fact.
1t is safe to say to all aspirants to
5 Office on the fusion ticket, that, unless
: : they happen to be solid with the bos
ses and have their smiling appreciation
they had better save their time, a:
: without the consent of the ring no one
o can be put on the ticket.
= Let the willy fusion trapper of the
Commonwealth give himself no con
cern about the manner of conducting
Republican primaries if you will on
g ly give the voters of your party a

: be no cause to growl. Your poin
