THE vilest campaign ever known i'll
the Seventh Congressional District is
now i'll progress under the direction of
the Democratic bosses. in the interests |
of Justin II. Writings candidacy for
Congress. y pamphlet of l6 pages has
been printed at the Port Huron COM |
mercial Office, and is now being cir |
culated through the district by thOus- |
ands. in which all the old and long ago |
exploded custom house charges against |
j Ohm Il. Sanborn are reproduced, to- |
gether with pages of otller lies and |
Slanders. There is scarcely Il line OF !
truth in the Whole pamphlet. fairly /
told; while among the testimony cited |
to sustain the charges is that Of con-
victs and confessed perjurers. An
other sample of the viilainous lies set !
forth iii this vile document is the as
sertion that AIr. Sanborl caused the |
of Marcus Young from the !
pOstOtlice and his arrest OH "trumped- !
charges" Mr.. SanbOrn was not Post |
master ut the time of Marcus IOung's |
or at any other time, and I.
neither could be. or WAS responsible /
in any way either for his discharge or |
arrest. Language strong enough to |
the shameless villiiication |
of citizen who has done more than |
any other two or three men to build /
up Port Huron and the country adJa-
cent to it during the past ~ years,
cannot be found. The spirit in which
it was conceived and set forth to the |
world is quite as villainous as the doc
ument itself, and if Mr.. Whiting does
not promptly repudiate the whole af-
fair, and deny his responsibility for it,
he will lose the respect of every voter |
