ocrats to bring out good and true men who

ways commended it as the best way to bring
the party together. There is something else
to be taken into consideration. There are
some few gifts this year to be given out and
care should be taken to give them where
they will advance the interest Of the party.
Promises should not be made to every one
that comes along, for promises unfulflled
are great deal worse than no promises at
all. There are ten applicants for place
where there is one to be given, and am sure
there are some, very young in the party,
who will ask and if promised and then dis
appointed, will be apt to leave us. Too
many promises will kill any party. l am

Messrs. Editors lin their last ISSUE the
editors of the Enterprise" under the head
line, Rather Jubilant' make several state
ments, all of which believe to be incorrect
and some of which know to be so. When
was young, was taught that when one
criticised ones opponents, great care should
be taken that the statements made should
be strictly correct. Itappears however, that
your neighbors do not believe in this doc
trine, for instead of first satisfying them
selves that they are right and then going
ahead, they first go ahead and afterwards
leave it to others to prove that they are
wrong. They say that the returns of the
last election in this county twill show solid
republican majority of over three hundred"
The returns predicted before election might
show this, but the Official returns after the
voting show no such thing. Attic last cleo
ton, Blaine received 1873 votes; Cleveland,
1910; st. John, %. wide returns.) This
shows a republican plurality of 1913 and a
majority of 2l3. If witness is careless
with his facts in one instance, it is safe to
assume that he, will be so in another, and
hence all Of his statements should be receiv-
ed with due allowance.
