reducing the time Of labor Of their en-

Is entirely voluntary on the part OF the

provides that copies Of all public docu-

In last weeks Winona Times screed
is published signed "a Democrat" and
dated Williamsport 1t was not written
by citizen of Willlamsport, probably;
but whoever the writer may be, he hashes
things up in a terrible way. For instance,
he accuses of being partisan, and then
wants to know what party we belong to.
The writer of the said scraed don't like it
because the RECORD few weeks ago
said, '"The Republicans are organized for
work, the Democrats for play" He also
says the RECORD "professcs to be An iude-
pendent paper" politically. The com
plainaut must be tanderfoot, sure. or he
would have found out long ago that this
paper is Republican early and late" If
he will come in aGd look at our files he
will see that the names of Blaine and Lo.
gan headed our columns all through the
fall Of "a, and we hope the Republican
National Convention of 'oS will give'us
an opportunity. to republish them. OF
course, in county matters, where an office.
holder has nothins to dcwith shaping the
destinies of nation or territory, we believe
more attention should be paid to the busi-
ncss qualifications Of officers than to their
politics. But, as the country settles, and
after the territory becomes q state, ma
tional and state issues will draw party
lines closer in the counties.
If Democrat has any doubt as to the
politics of the RECORD, let him learn to
read. Then he can easily fiAd out by pc.
rusing our columns.
