GALL THEIR N

Still there are = great many repu-
table people in Audrain, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, who do not
hesitate to say that if Audrain was
Republican the LEDGER would be a
ranting bloody-shirt organ. '-Mexi-
CO HteHigeneer.
To make the discussion short We
demand the names OF the above
reputable people, or else let the
editor of the Hteiligencer acknowl-
edge he has lied. Somebody has
lied. The InteUigencer can either
locate the false statement on its
editor or on "reliable people" by
naming them.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-10-28

WE SHOULD suppose that MIR.
Blaine had pretty good personal rea-
sons for realizing that the Republican
party is not npower. But, probably
from the force of habit, he goes right
on claiming for his party credit for
the fact that "the Government bonds
are worth nearly 1907 and that the
Treasury is strong. The business
men of the country realize, if Mr..
Blaine does not, that for three years
the Democrats have had control OF
Congress and for a year and a half OF
the Executive Department. AMI
they will profit by the return OF bus
mess prosperity as much as the Rep
ublicans lost by ITS prolonged absence.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-10-28

Dun CONTEMPORARY is correct in
speaking of the favors Mr.. Galloway,
MIR. Tlimble and others have and will
do for friends and Democrats who
ask Office, but we don't see as this
excuses the editor Of the Itelligencer
for taking 80 cents from mythical
'Scholten'' for support and against
the nominee.

WE ARE glad to know that many of

over the county in spite Of the
drouth.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-10-28

The Iateligeacer got caught and
acknowledges to supporting q myth
zeal man, "Scholten," for office
against the regular nominee, getting
less than one dollar for the valuable
service. The same paper now accuses
the LEDGER Of being willing to do
the same thing for $50, except that
1t does not accuse the LEDGER Of
proposing to support a man against
a nominee, but merely for the NOM
ination. Let the I~ateligeacer prove
4uen tbs N uihdraso the charge.
